Chapter 27: Tangled Path
The light from the teleportation terminal faded, replaced by the damp, earthy air of the Blackroot Forest.
"It makes sense why the forest is called ’Blackroot.’"
The trees are huge and dark, and their roots are thick, twisted, and raised above the ground, spreading out like a messy, tangled web in all directions.
The name Blackroot reflects the forest’s dark, root-filled appearance, which makes it feel wild and eerie.
The tops of the trees known as canopy were so thick and full of leaves that only a little sunlight could pass through.
The few rays of sunlight that did make it down created long shadows on the plants and bushes below.
The air felt thick and damp, like in a humid jungle.
Far-off sounds like growling animals and leaves moving made the place feel scary and dangerous.
We stood in a small clearing as our group adjusted to the new surroundings.
