Chapter 605: The Stagnant Sun
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Hei Gou had made a clear analysis of the current situation. The bloody mud underneath their feet was not likely to have appeared due to the forest suddenly killing and consuming the beasts living within, so where could it come from?
"For now, this might be to our advantage. We have already been walking through a fairly large patch of this forest, but we have not encountered much danger yet.
"While we have to stay alert and be prepared to fight at any moment, our current situation could be much worse. We have been in many forests before, and the ones with wet grounds like this one usually are filled with insects.
"While insects are not that troublesome in those forests, we are all aware that No Man's Land cannot be compared to any other place, and the insects here are likely to become a true threat if they appear.
"Since this is the case, we should make use of our current peace. While the area is disgusting and disturbing, we can still advance without much trouble for now.
"So what if the mud is made from blood? It is not as if we have never seen rivers of blood before, so what does a little mud matter?
"What we have to focus on is not the bloody mud or its origin, but the threats and dangers that might jump at us at any moment. We should focus on the most secure, but also quickest, way to exit this grim forest."
Xue Wei's eyes were full of vigilance as he looked around. His words contained a solemnity that could not be ignored, and the others also understood that his point was correct.
Although the bloody mud was disturbing, it would not threaten them for now. If the forest had truly massacred all living beings within its borders before their arrival, it might even have done them a favor, so they should be more alert of anything living left behind.
"Should we increase our pace then?"
Ling Xiao looked around and found that there was not actually any visible dangers for now, so if they wanted to leave this area as soon as possible, it might be viable to speed up their movements.
"We can't."
However, his question just made Bai Tianyi frown as he sternly shot down his suggestion.
"Although we have not encountered anything dangerous yet, increasing our speed is a very bad idea. If we increase our speed, we will be much more easy to spot by any danger that might be lurking in the darkness, and attacks are also much more likely to succeed.
"Although I understand your eagerness to leave as soon as possible, it has to be done in a timely manner. We cannot rush anywhere, since it will just rouse the troubles we are working hard to avoid."
By now, Bai Tianyi had gained complete peace with his appearance, so his facial expressions were natural and did not try to seem mature on purpose.
Even so, the words spoken were heavy and contained a lot of wisdom and intelligence that was unheard of when looking at such a young boy. The contrast would have been intriguing, if they had been in an environment where they had the option to appreciate it.
"Let us keep going." Luoluo ended the conversation with a few sigh and kept moving forward. None of them dared to be less alert, as they moved forward little by little, but they never really knew how much time had passed.
"The sun does not move."
Hei Gou was the first to mention the phenomenon. Although the others had been feeling odd about their current circumstances, they had not know exactly what the origin of this strange feeling was, but after hearing Hei Gou's words, they suddenly understood.
The sunlight could not break through the leaves of the trees, so it was reasonable to say that they were not influenced by the sun at all, but even if it could not break through, the light would still be present, as it gave a dim light in the forest thicket.
However, ever since they entered the forest, the light had not changed in intensity at all. There was no signs of the sun moving around on the skies at all, and it was impossible to say if it was day or night. This sudden discovery made them feel apprehensive.
"I would assume that each of these areas are truly their own individual pocket dimension from this discovery.
"The sun is not acting the same way here as it was in the area with the many scorpions, so it makes sense to believe that each area we enter will have its own rules and regulations. We have to keep alert for these details too.
"In the scorpion area, your Sovereign Beast Aura had no influence, but it might help here, in case we encounter a beast. However, just take it as an extra benefit if it does, do not assume that it will be the case."
Luoluo was the one who had been in the most of these individual small realms, so she also gave some cautions to each of them.
"However, since the sun does not move here, we might as well ignore the time spent. For now, we should focus on leaving as soon as possible. Since we can no longer depend on the sun to know when to rest, we have to be more alert when listening to our bodies.
"Although we want to leave this area as soon as possible, the constant strain on our minds as we keep vigilant will make us exhausted, so we do need to rest from time to time. Without rest, we will not be able to fight back if anyone wants to fight us."
