Chapter 338: The Uncharted Woodlands          

The trio advanced cautiously into the uncharted territories of the Lost Forest. The map now showed nothing but a blank expanse, leaving them to rely solely on their instincts and skills. 

As they ventured deeper, the ambient glow of luminescent flora became their guiding light in the mysterious realm.

The air grew thicker, charged with an otherworldly energy. Unseen creatures stirred in the shadows, their presence felt rather than seen. 

Xin and Hilda led the way, studying the surroundings keenly. Every step brought them further away from the safety of the known, and the sense of foreboding intensified.

Hilda kept her massive hammer at the ready, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. 

Seraphim moved silently behind them, her watchful gaze betraying nothing of her true intentions.
