Chapter 245: Crisis at Every Step
After successfully restoring their Elemental Power, the Monk asked impatiently, "Young Master Lin, are you sure you know where the Ghost Fruit is?"
Smiling faintly, Lin Yun actually had no idea. He wasn’t even certain the Ghost Fruit existed, as the tip had come from Qing Zhu.
He’d used this as a pretext to trick the Monk and Daoist because the Mysterious Forest was fraught with danger, and having two helpers was always a good thing. Besides, their Combat Power was formidable; they could prove invaluable at a critical moment.
"Yes, it’s deep within the Mysterious Forest. If we want the Ghost Fruit, we’ll have to venture into its depths," Lin Yun replied, his expression unchanging.
’The depths of the Mysterious Forest?’ The outer edges were already dangerous enough; venturing deeper would be even more perilous. However, faced with the temptation of the Ghost Fruit, the Monk and Daoist ultimately decided to risk it.
Having made their decision, the group started toward the depths of the Mysterious Forest. In such a perilous place, however, Lin Yun and the others moved slowly, cautiously observing their surroundings with every step.
"It’s so quiet..." After they had walked for several kilometers, there was still no sound—not even the whisper of wind. The entire Mysterious Forest felt humid and scorching.
This was no ordinary humidity; the moisture in the air was corrosive. Anyone who wasn’t a Martial Artist would have long been reduced to a pool of blood just by stepping into the Mysterious Forest’s damp air.
"This is fucking unbearable," the Monk couldn’t help but curse. Already portly, his entire body felt sticky in the humid forest.
"Careful." The Monk’s words had barely faded when Lin Yun signaled for everyone to halt.
The path had been unnervingly quiet, and Lin Yun had long sensed that something was amiss. This abnormality had kept him secretly observing their surroundings the whole time.
Stopping in his tracks, Lin Yun scanned their surroundings, his expression turning grave.
