Chapter 755: Pulling Strings
Zhuo Hang kicked open the back door, only to find a forest behind it, which made him hesitate. The forest was pitch black, with the leaves rustling in the night wind, creating an eerie atmosphere.
In front of the house was an endless cycle of scenery, and behind it was a dark forest. Both options seemed forbidding, but Su Hui bit her lips and plunged into the forest.
Zhuo Hang, concerned, followed her, saying, "This forest is dangerous Su Hui, we shouldn’t venture deeper."
"Staying in place is equally dangerous, we must try to move forward." Su Hui felt that if they could hold out till dawn, they should be fine. She had to keep moving to prevent any enemies from catching up.
The gloomy weather provided no moonlight, and the dark forest was deadly silent. Su Hui and Zhuo Hang could hear their own heartbeats and were sweating cold sweat.
Suddenly, a wolf howl sent shivers down Su Hui’s spine. She couldn’t tell where it came from, but it sounded ominously close.
Zhuo Hang reassured her: "Don’t worry. I can handle some wolves. What I’m worried about is..." He didn’t finish the sentence, not wanting to heighten Su Hui’s fear.
Su Hui had read that this primeval forest was a forbidden area. Many adventurers either went missing or went mad after coming back from exploring here, although it was unclear exactly what they had encountered.
Despite the exploration ban, every year, people still drive through and vanish.
