章節 138: 138 The Twisting Road

At twelve noon, the group descended from the sunny peak and re-entered the misty and somewhat eerie forest.

Compared to the ascent a few hours earlier, the descent was fraught with thicker fog and visibility of less than two meters. It was only by relying on the "Fireball" spell conjured by Xie Xiaofeng that they could barely make out the winding and steep path ahead.

Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao walked hand in hand, leading the way, while Tang Jing guided Tang Chao and Xie Xiaofeng on either side of her, closely following behind.

"Hoot hoot!"

"Caw caw!"

The occasional eerie or lonely calls of owls and crows highlighted the silence and eeriness of the forest nearby.

After half an hour, they stopped and rested on a relatively flat and large rock.

Through the skill 'Nether Vision,' Chen Hao discerned that the path down the mountain was long and winding, and they still had a considerable distance to go before reaching midway.
