The big ones can’t crawl in, so they are all of suitable size.
The cave was instantly covered by light. Except for Blore who fainted on the ground, the rest of the people clearly heard the sound of shattering.
Mu Yunchu's voice came faintly.
"Back then, my father used forbidden techniques and signed a contract with the dead for my sake. Now, I think I've had enough of life.
I was the one who did all the things that happened in Nanger, and I was the one who secretly directed Alanbeta. I have tried countless times over the past thousands of years, but not once was I successful.
The opening of the magic mirror, the appearance of the soul, the suitability of the person, the success of the sacrifice, the selection of the forest, and various other conditions are all indispensable.
How do you think these illusions appeared?
It is the result of my countless attempts and the countless sacrifices of the insects. Every place that makes you look like you are trying to survive in danger is filled with countless insect bones under this land.
I can't die. I haven't finished what I should do.
The black-striped flowers blooming in that clean land, I think, are the remaining souls of the insects. I don't know whether I should say that you are the choice of the forest, or that you have supreme luck. This is the first time I have come to this point. Maybe everything will end, or maybe I have to start over again.
Don't worry, if you fail, nothing will happen to you. At most, your memory will be erased, and I will start over again. Failure is nothing to me.
My father will die, but the forbidden technique will not. It will always exist, waiting for the next greedy person."
When Ma Tuan heard this, he couldn't help himself.
"The villagers' illness was also caused by you. You are being too..." He swallowed the last words.
"I did it, yes, but people have been damaging the forest for thousands of years. The plants and animals have begun to mutate. Sometimes, even being born is a desire for them, let alone growth.
The antidote is too limited. There is only a little bit of antidote in the pond water that you see. How big can a person be? In fact, you don’t know, and I’m not afraid to tell you that every bite of antidote that the villagers take is the blood and flesh of my father.
I only inflicted one percent of the damage that the animals suffered on them, and they couldn't bear it. Besides, I have already given you the antidote.
This is too complicated, and I can't remember many things. Countless extraordinary people have come here and entered the forest, but the final results were mostly unsatisfactory. Let's leave it at that for now..." The voice became smaller and more ethereal.
After the golden light faded, there was endless white light. All the insects that crawled into the cave crawled towards the dragon skull and appeared in the altar, shining brightly.
Bai Di couldn't see anything clearly. It seemed that Mu Yunchu said a lot, but there was only a little useful information. They still knew too little.
Is it all coming to an end?
With the continuous cracking sounds and the white light in front of her eyes, Nan Song felt that she couldn't faint even if she wanted to. She tried hard to stay awake, but the scene in front of her made her feel dizzy.
Even at this point, she still felt a bit dazed, as if everything had happened in an instant and she hadn't fully reacted yet. It seemed like the four of them had only come here for a short visit and hadn't been of any help, but, well, that was it. Blore and Bai Di had been the most injured on this trip anyway.
White light shot up into the sky, and golden green and purple colors entwined around it, forming a brilliant light.
The three people looked up, and all the illusions they had experienced appeared in the sky, turning into fragments one by one, like a broken painting.
The imprisoned souls seemed to fly up, they were like released birds, flying freely in the air.
Those black lines and flowers that were like the tide gradually softened and turned into plum color and dark crimson like clouds, which also looked very much like the red on the hem of Mu Yunchu's clothes.
Finally, these colors came together to form a huge red heavy lotus, blooming with brilliant light.
Mu Yunchu stared blankly at the flower in the sky, her mind blank. She had never been like this before, but this time, she was obviously at a loss.

After running for a while, Nanger and Bei Teng began to walk slowly. The swamp with bubbling bubbles around them became wider and wider.
Neither of them spoke, they just walked.
"Does the air here smell like the air we use in our alchemy village during open-air experiments? It does, to me, though it's a bit more toxic."
Beidou felt that he could not bear it anymore, so he simply spoke to break this suffocating environment.
Nanger naturally also discovered that in fact, there was no need for the two of them to talk most of the time, because as soon as the other person opened his mouth, they already knew what was going on.
"Indeed, let's see."
This was a quiet and mysterious place, so peaceful, it felt as if time had stood still. No matter where they went, what they saw remained the same, without the slightest change.
However, Nangel was keenly aware that they were climbing continuously and the terrain was gradually rising.
Those giant, tree-like tentacles might have long been buried deep within the swamp. Nanger suddenly caught sight of a tentacle, eroded by the swamp to a single, dark green hue. He quickened his pace, rapidly approaching it.
The surrounding environment had been severely corroded. Aside from the seemingly soft but actually extremely solid outer skin, a dark green juice seeped out from the inside. This touch made people think of meat, and Nanger hurriedly shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.
Bei Teng came over and saw this scene, and immediately said with a smile
"You said they wouldn't swallow people and then stuff the meat into their tentacles, right? That's really scary." Beidou frowned and said in a somewhat exaggerated tone.
Nanger glanced at Bei Teng without saying anything, but he was thinking in his heart: "Where is this place? How can there be such a monster?" He felt that something was wrong with this place and he had to leave as soon as possible.
Kitano seemed to have immediately considered this possibility and began to eliminate it. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Hmm, what you just said is indeed a little unlikely. Why do you think that texture feels... uh... strange."
Nanger didn't want to listen to Bei Teng's nagging anymore, so he stood up immediately and prepared to continue walking up. He thought to himself: "No matter what, we can't stay here for too long, we must find a way out."
However, Beidou grabbed him and said, "Don't go, do you want to go to heaven?"
Nanger looked forward and saw that the road seemed to extend to the horizon, leading straight to the dark green clouds. He could not help but be stunned, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.
"There's no road ahead, let's just go this way for now." He tried his best to suppress the discomfort in his heart and strode forward.
