Chapter 7: The Bone Cocoon Deep in the Cave

What came into view was a suffocatingly dense canopy of trees, blanketing the entire field of vision like an endless, dark ocean. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches, casting dappled shadows that reflected on Nansong's pale face.

"It hurts so much..."

Nansong groaned in pain and slowly opened her heavy eyelids. She felt the sunlight sting her eyes, and she couldn't help squinting, trying to adjust to her surroundings.

"Where is this?"

Her thoughts gradually became clearer, and she suddenly realized that she was still alive, and a feeling of relief and confusion surged in her heart.

"Ah, so I'm not dead... But what about the others?"

She used all her strength to sit up with difficulty, but her body still felt severe pain from time to time.

With trembling hands, she felt her body to confirm that the terrible bugs were no longer on her. A feeling of surviving a disaster came over her, but at the same time, it made her feel that everything was so unreal.

Nan Song sat there in a daze for a long time before slowly coming to his senses.

She thought of her companions and felt a strong sense of worry in her heart.

Are they safe and sound? She struggled to stand up and look for them. However, at this moment, she heard a slight rustling sound.

The sound was like something approaching, soft and strange, as if hiding a huge danger.

Nansong was instantly filled with fear, and a sense of unease spread throughout her heart. She stared around nervously, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Ah! Sister Nan, I'm so glad you're not dead."

Hearing the familiar voice, Nan Song immediately saw a head popping out of the grass. The person was wearing a ghost mask, with messy hair, and there was uncontrollable joy in his voice.

"If you can't speak, don't speak."

Nan Song cursed inwardly, but an uncontrollable joy still emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"Did you hear that?"

she scolded.

"Oh, I'm so happy! I woke up and searched for you for a long time before finally finding you. Have you seen Bai Di and Xiao Luo?"

Ma Tuan asked.

"No, I just woke up."

Nan Song got up and walked towards him.

"Hey, come here quickly, I have a discovery."

Then Ma Tuan waved mysteriously.

"I just came all the way here and found this."

He held the object in his hand in front of Nansong mysteriously.

"this……"

Nan Song looked at the fruit in front of him in confusion. It emitted a soft and crystal clear light, and the overall color was an intoxicating golden hue.

The size of this fruit is quite amazing, about the size of three plums, which can be said to be a rather strange size.

Nansong couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Where did you pick it up?"

The other party's answer was concise and clear: "On the way."

Hearing such a simple answer, Nan Song couldn't help but frown, but when she saw the other party's "sincere" eyes, the dissatisfaction in her heart immediately dissipated a lot.

Nan Song sighed softly and said to himself, "Forget it, now that things have come to this, don't pick up random things next time."

Finally, she decided to remain silent. After all, the most important thing now was to find out the origin and purpose of this mysterious fruit.

Perhaps this would be an unexpected opportunity that would bring them unexpected rewards. With this thought in mind, Nansong began to carefully observe the fruit in her hand, trying to find some clues or hints.

After observing for a long time, the fruit still emitted a crystal light without any change.

"Let's go find someone first," Nan Song said, holding his forehead.

Seeing that she had no extra reaction, Ma Tuan quickly put the "gold" into his pocket and followed her pace.

The forest was basically pitch black, as if covered by a black curtain, but fortunately the sky looked bright, which prevented the two people from feeling too annoyed.

"Look, there seems to be a cave over there!"

Ma Tuan suddenly shouted in surprise.

Nan Song narrowed his eyes and observed it carefully, then nodded in response.

"Well, let's go take a look, maybe we'll find something.

And didn't Nangel say before that Hermos hid his most precious treasure in this forest? Perhaps this cave is the key.

Ma Tuan immediately established a mental connection and summoned thick vines to easily clear the obstacles on the road ahead for the two of them.

As he manipulated the vines, he casually remarked, "How strange! Why are those annoying bugs gone now? They were everywhere just now."

Nansong, who had felt something was wrong from the beginning, realized that something was indeed wrong, but then he thought about it and decided to maintain the current state for now!

As the two continued to walk forward, Nan Song seemed to see something strange between the changes in light and shadow.

"Bai Di?" Nan Song poked the dough and pointed at the trees in front.

Bai Di always wears black and is thin. When he was attacked by insects before, he tried his best to establish a connection, which consumed a lot of energy.

Besides, the woods here are all black, and if you don’t look carefully, you really can’t find it.

At this moment, his cloak and his body were hanging on the tree, swaying precariously as the wind blew.

"What are you waiting for? Save people."

Nansong slapped Ma Tuan.

Ma Tuan suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and saw the vines on his body began to grow wildly at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached the big tree where Bai Di was and tightly wrapped around Bai Di's body!
