The Forbidden Forest remained as eerie as ever, its towering peaks casting long shadows. Even the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves sent a chill down one's spine.
How did she have the courage to step in back then? Ji Yueyao looked at the pitch-black forest, which was devoid of any light, and pondered for a moment. She shook her head, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and disappeared into the forest without even looking back.
Actually, she could have gone to the Nanxiao base before entering the Forbidden Forest, which would have saved her a lot of danger. But now, due to time constraints, she has no choice but to take the safe route... No matter how dangerous it is, she must move forward!
"Yueyao!" Kaqi couldn't help but call out as Ji Yueyao's figure disappeared into the distance, but there was no echo. She panicked and tried to push the door open to get out of the car, only to find that the door was locked and there was no way to get out except through the window.
"Sit tight, we're about to leave." Termite withdrew his gaze, glanced back at Bamboo and Kachi, and only stepped on the gas after confirming they were both there. He had to leave as quickly as possible, because he was afraid that if he stayed even a second longer, even he would catch up.
"Termite, stop the car! I want to get out!" Kachi struggled and kicked the car door twice, but it was no use.
The termite drove on without blinking, taking a deep breath to try and calm itself down.
"White Ant, now that you're gone, what are we going to do with the captain? How are we going to get her back?!" Kachi pounded on the door and roared at White Ant as she turned around.
"The captain said he has a way," White Ant said softly, his eyes slightly darkening.
"What method?" Kachi continued through gritted teeth.
"..." The bai yi fell silent. In fact, he didn't know what Ji Yueyao planned to do after she came out, or how she planned to come back.
“Termites, the captain can’t go alone.” Zhu Mu, who had been silent all along, spoke up. He looked at the Forbidden Forest with a complicated expression. “Someone has to look after him.”
"The captain's orders are that I must take you away and cannot let you go with her to the Forbidden Forest." The white ant's voice was very calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear the suppressed emotion in his words.
"Is that so?" Zhu Mu watched the car get further and further away from the Forbidden Forest and sighed softly. "Then as long as I leave secretly, you won't be considered to have violated the mission."
"As long as you can sneak away," Bai Yi said calmly, clearly not taking Zhu Mu's words to heart. He had already locked the car door. Although the car window could still be opened, he didn't believe that Zhu Mu could jump out of the window of a moving car... If he really jumped, he would definitely be crippled. Thinking this way, Zhu Mu and Kachi would have no chance to sneak away.
Although he was worried about Ji Yueyao, he knew even better that letting ordinary people into the Forbidden Forest would only be sending them to their deaths in vain.
“Alright…” Takeki sighed, glancing at the open window with a slight flicker in his eyes.
As soon as Ji Yueyao entered the Forbidden Forest, she noticed a shimmering light in her pocket. She reached in and took out the glowing eyeball, clearly feeling a sense of pleasure.
"Are you happy..." Ji Yueyao chuckled, "Then bless me, sky."
Taking out the directional locator, Ji Yueyao quickly ran forward, following the red dot on it. She gripped the dagger tightly in her right hand, blade facing outwards—a grip that allowed her to launch an attack at lightning speed if she encountered any alien creature.
Her body can now support her running for a long time, but it can't support her using her powers for an extended period, so she tries her best not to use them.
The faint, noisy sounds of those aliens reappeared in her mind, but now, under the control of the remaining consciousness in the sky, these sounds were extremely weak. Not only would they not cause her any harm, but they also allowed her to clearly sense the direction of the aliens.
Quickly dodging the strange creatures surging towards her, Ji Yueyao hid directly in a tree.
The rat-like birds below scurried past the tree like flies, their dense swarms making one feel nauseous just looking at them. The tree trunk was covered in dirty, sticky resin, and Ji Yueyao felt the stickiness on her palms, gritting her teeth to resist the urge to wipe her hands on her clothes.
The branch she was standing on seemed to move slightly. Ji Yueyao barely had time to react and instinctively leaped upwards. Then she saw a sharp branch thrust straight at her, almost piercing her through.
But even though she jumped up, she still couldn't stop the pine needles shooting from all directions. After being pricked by several pine needles on her arm, Ji Yueyao hurriedly took off her coat and covered herself with it.
Pine species of heterophyte!
Why did she have to choose a pine tree of unusual species?!
She landed steadily on the ground, and seeing the rat-like strange bird that had run far away rushing back towards her, Ji Yueyao's first reaction was to turn around and run away... What kind of luck is this!
Fortunately, her speed was now far beyond that of ordinary people, and she quickly dodged the rat-like strange birds chasing her through a few twists and turns... as well as the dense pine needles.
"Sss—" Ji Yueyao took off her coat and quickly pulled out the pine needles stuck in her arm. Watching the wound heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, she casually grabbed a biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth.
Energy must be replenished quickly, otherwise the body will heal more and more slowly once injured.
Although the aliens on the outer perimeter weren't particularly powerful, she couldn't handle the sheer number of them... She needed to find a gap in the umbrella-type alien plants as soon as possible. If she could proceed through the Forbidden Zone of Death as before, she should be able to reach the central part of the Forbidden Forest directly.
As for that extremely powerful spider-type alien bird defending the central area... Ji Yueyao's eyes turned slightly cold; it had to be dealt with.
These were all things that Sky told her when she first met Sky, and they were also her plan for crossing the outer perimeter of the Forbidden Forest this time.
She reached out and covered the glowing pocket, her eyes hardening with unwavering resolve.
She climbed the tree again, but this time Ji Yueyao chose a tree that wasn't an exotic plant. Concentrating her mind, she quickly searched for any unusual fluctuations in her surroundings, not letting any strange birds or other creatures slip by.
Because the various fluctuations in her mind became very clear under the adjustment of the sky, she quickly found a place on the ground where there were no fluctuations.
That's it! Ji Yueyao suddenly opened her eyes, leaped down from the tree, and ran swiftly towards the location she had just located.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past her side, disrupting Ji Yueyao's focus on the gap in the umbrella-shaped alien plant. Her concentration waned, and she withdrew her gaze, stopped, and looked around with a cold expression.
When she sensed the dark figure approaching again, she quickly leaped up, using the tree as a foothold to launch an attack on the dark figure from above.
There are no abnormal fluctuations; this is human! (To be continued.)
