The man looked terrified, with his hands clasped together devoutly on his heart, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy towards the ancient forest.

Han Ying scanned the ancient forest.

This place is full of ancient trees that are hundreds of years old. The tangled vines are intertwined, and the lush branches and leaves form a natural barrier that blocks all sunlight outside. The forest is extremely cool and the light is dim. The shadows of the trees are cast on the ground and refracted back, making them even dimmer.

The gloomy aura coming towards me...

She said, "Master, if you say this is some evil place, it makes sense, but the place where the gods live..."

Which deity lives in such a dark place?

Unless it's a demon from hell.

"There are gods, they really do exist, our ancestors have said so..." The young man waved his hands in panic, "Don't go in, you really can't go in, people will die!"

He is the future son-in-law of the village chief, Awa's fiancé Daniu, and the person who leads Zong Zhengchen.

Han Feng held the sword and became interested. He had never been superstitious since he was a child.

"Master, let me go in and take a look."

He threw the sword in his right hand to his left hand, held it tightly, and strode in.

Da Niu anxiously held his chest and kowtowed devoutly to ask the gods for forgiveness. When the six guards saw this, they looked at each other, asking, "What era is this? Are there still people who are so superstitious?"

A short wait.

After a while.

Han Feng came out and said, "Master, the environment inside is similar to here. There are many ancient trees and the roads are extremely complicated. I marked the tree trunks when I went in to prevent getting lost."

Zong Zhengchen nodded in understanding, and walked away, glancing at Daniu, "Give him some money and let him go back first."

After saying this, he strode inside.

Han Ying gave Daniu a huge amount of silver note, one hundred taels, which was enough for a villager to spend in a lifetime.

Daniu was holding the banknote in shock. He had never seen so much money in his 28 years of life.

Who are these people? Why are they here? Why do they have to enter this ancient forest?

Once upon a time, our ancestors brought so many people and risked their lives to come here. Could it be that...

What treasures are hidden in this ancient forest?

If there are treasures, they belong to their village and must not be taken away by outsiders!

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up, folded the banknote and put it in his clothes, then quickly followed.

Entering the ancient forest, cut off from the sunlight, the cold air is not circulating, the relatively closed space is extremely quiet, the sound of the wind can be clearly heard, "rustling——"

After entering, there was nothing unusual.

There are towering old trees, dead trunks, tangled vines, and the ground is covered with withered yellow leaves. Because there has been no sunlight all year round, there is no grass on the land and it is very desolate.

The cold wind and cold shadow looked around, searching.

The guards spread out a little and looked around.

Da Niu followed closely behind. On the one hand, he was afraid of angering the gods and getting punished by them. But on the other hand, when he thought about the treasure hidden there, he became eager to get there.

If I get the treasure and become rich, I can give Ava a better life!

Tap--

The footsteps were particularly abrupt.

Suddenly, a guard called out:

"Sir, look there!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a pair of beautiful deer antlers hanging from the trunk of a thousand-year-old tree growing in the center of the ancient forest.

The ancient tree is old, with yellow leaves and dry branches, and is gradually dying, but the antlers hanging on it look as if they are alive, bright and shiny, and even have beautiful little pink flowers blooming, as if full of life.
