The surrounding trees became twisted at some point, and the branches stretched into the sky like ghost claws, making rustling sounds, like low whimpers.

The originally crisp bird song disappeared, replaced by a creepy silence.

An invisible pressure enveloped everyone, as if an invisible pair of eyes were peeking at them in the dark.

"This place... is a bit strange." Zhang Langzhong whispered. He subconsciously touched the medicine sack on his waist, and his palms were slightly sweating.

Elder Chen stroked his white beard, looked ahead with a deep look, and said in a deep voice: "This place seems to be shrouded in a mysterious force, we must be careful."

Grandma Lin held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly and looked at everyone worriedly, "Children, why don't we go back, it's too dangerous here."

Luo Xiaoyu shook her head firmly, "We finally got here, we can't give up like this! Grandma, don't worry, I will protect you."

Everyone exchanged their eyes and finally decided to move forward.

They stepped into this strange forest carefully, taking every step with great caution, fearing that they would disturb some unknown existence.

As they deepened, the surrounding fog became thicker and the visibility became lower and lower.

The outlines of the trees became blurred, as if countless ghosts were hidden.

A chill rose from the soles of the feet and rushed straight to the top of the head, making people shudder.

"We seem... lost." Xiaohong's voice trembled a little. She grabbed the sleeves of the man in white tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"This... is a confusion!" Elder Chen exclaimed, his face became extremely solemn, "We must find a way to crack it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Luo Xiaoyu interrupted him impatiently, "Don't let my mother-in-law swear! Isn't it just a confusion? We will rush forward directly, we will definitely be able to go out!" As she said that, she was about to move forward.

"Don't be reckless!" Elder Chen grabbed her, "In the confusion, it's hard to tell the direction. If you walk around randomly, you will only sink deeper and deeper!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm stupid?" Luo Xiaoyu glared at Elder Chen, and an argument was about to break out.

Suddenly, the man in white raised his hand to signal everyone to silence.

He slowly squatted down and placed his hand on the ground, as if feeling something.

After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes fell on an ancient tree not far away, and said slowly: "There is there..."

In the confusion, the air seemed to be frozen and breathing became difficult.

Everyone felt that their physical strength was quickly lost and their legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Sweat soaked the clothes and pressed against the body, bringing waves of chill.

The ears buzzed, and everything in front of me became blurred, as if I could faint at any time.

"I...I can't walk..." Luo Xiaoyu's voice was weak and powerless. She staggered for a moment and almost fell down.

Grandma Lin hurriedly held her, her face full of worry.

"Be careful!" Zhang Langzhong exclaimed, and saw Xiaohong's face pale and falling to the ground.

Her forehead hit a sharp stone, and blood instantly poured out.

"Xiaohong!" The man in white rushed over and hugged Xiaohong in his arms.

He was rushing through the medicine bag to find the medicine to stop bleeding, but found that due to the influence of the disorder, it was difficult to even distinguish the medicinal materials.

"What should I do? This...what should I do..." Doctor Zhang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In the confusion, his medical skills also lost their effect.

Xiaohong lay in the arms of the man in white, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

She felt like she was trapped in an invisible cage, surrounded by darkness and no glimmer of hope.

She held the treasure in her hand tightly, but found that it had lost its former light at this moment, becoming cold and silent.

The despair surged into her heart like a tide, drowned her.

Wang Hunter, who had been silent, was surprisingly calm at this moment.

He squatted down, carefully observed the fallen leaves and soil on the ground, and then looked up at the growth direction of the surrounding trees.

Everyone looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he was doing.

"Come with me." Wang Liewo stood up and said firmly.

"You... do you know how to get there?" Luo Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Wang Liehun did not answer, but just walked in one direction.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe him.

They followed Wang Hunter and walked forward carefully.

The thick fog was still permeated, but for some reason, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

"Wait..." Wang Liehuo suddenly stopped. He pointed to a strange-shaped tree in front of him and said in a deep voice, "It's there."

Following Wang Hunter, everyone walked through the fog with deep and shallow feet.

Wang Hunter seemed to be extremely familiar with this area. He could always accurately avoid obstacles hidden in the thick fog, such as abrupt rocks and mixed tree roots.

After walking for about half an hour, the thick fog around miraculously began to dissipate.

A trace of light shines through the mist and shines on everyone, bringing the long-lost warmth.

"The fog...the fog has dissipated!" Luo Xiaoyu screamed in surprise, with a hint of trembling in her voice, as if she couldn't believe everything in front of her.

Others also showed joyful expressions, and the feeling of surviving the disaster made them very excited.

Grandma Lin even folded her hands together and muttered something to her, thanking God for her protection.

As the thick fog dissipates, the field of vision gradually becomes wider.

Everyone found themselves in a clearing, and in the middle of the clearing, a unique mark was carved on a huge rock.

The mark is like an ancient rune, emitting a faint golden light, mysterious and solemn.

"That's it!" Wang Hunhuang pointed to the mark on the rock, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "This is the key to getting out of the confusion!" Everyone gathered around and carefully observed the mark.

Its lines are smooth and its structure is complex, and it seems to contain some profound meaning.

Xiaohong looked at Wang Liehuo gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Wang." Wang Liehuo smiled honestly and scratched his head, "It's nothing, I happened to know." The man in white exchanged a look with Master Lingyin, and both of them saw a hint of appreciation in each other's eyes.

Grandma Lin patted Luo Xiaoyu's hand gently and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, child, we will be out soon."

According to the guidance of Wang Hunter, everyone touched several points on the mark in a specific order.

As the last point was touched, the mark suddenly burst out with dazzling light, illuminating the entire open space.

After the light dissipated, everyone found that the surrounding scene had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The fog completely disappeared, replaced by a lush forest, with birds singing and flowers scenting and fresh air, which contrasted with the gloomy and terrifying confusion before.
