The crowd seemed to be infected by Chu bubai’s calmness. They nodded and were no longer as panicked as before.
“Then what do we do next?” Guo dengtao asked.
“Naturally, I’ll continue forward. I’ve already come this far and the baby ginseng is right in front of me. I can’t let such a small obstacle ruin my efforts.” Chu bubai said indifferently.
“But the fog is so thick, and there are no small paths. We don’t know what’s in front of us.” Wang Feng couldn’t help but ask nervously.
Guo dengtao and the others nodded in agreement. Lin Yi had tried it before, and this place was very strange. Not only was the fog too thick, his eyes couldn’t see much, but even his spirit sense couldn’t sense the situation in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, although one couldn’t see with their eyes, one could still sense with their divine senses. If even their divine senses were blocked, it meant that there was something fishy about this place.
Perhaps there was some kind of array, or perhaps this place was naturally like this. For example, the magnetic field was chaotic and could also affect the perception of the divine sense. No matter which one it was, it showed that this place was not trivial and could not be easily entered.
“Although we can’t fully explore the situation in front of us, we’re already familiar with the environment after walking for so long. There’s no need to be too worried.” Chu bubai consoled everyone,”to us, the biggest threat in Lufeng forest is none other than the spirit beasts. However, this is the graveyard of the spirit beasts. Other than the spirit beasts that are about to die, no other spirit beasts would come to this place. Otherwise, we would have encountered them along the way. What do you think?”
“What brother Chu said makes sense.” Guo dengtao and the others nodded one after another. In this place, there was no living spirit beast at all except for those strange and disgusting things. Moreover, there was no miasma at the moment, so it naturally posed no threat to everyone.
Along the way, everyone’s trust in Chu bubai had gradually accumulated to the point where they were almost blind. His words could be said to be unquestionable, and what he said was indeed reasonable and convincing.
“Therefore, even if we can’t see the situation in front of us, we don’t have to scare ourselves. As long as we are careful, we won’t fail at the last step.” Chu bubai continued to explain with a calm expression,””I’ve encountered this kind of situation before in other places, but I couldn’t see the road clearly and couldn’t even sense it with my divine sense. However, after trying it out in the end, there was actually no danger. It was just like a ghost hitting a wall,”
“Ghostly labyrinth?” Everyone looked at each other-even Lin Yi was taken aback. This was a common saying in the practitioner world, and in the end, it was nothing more than a natural labyrinth or a formation.
But no matter which one it was, there was no real danger. It just made people run around in circles because they couldn’t find the exit, and it was purely to kill time.
Therefore, after hearing Chu bubai’s words, everyone immediately felt relieved.
However, although they were all relieved, they still didn’t dare to move forward rashly. They looked at each other, and no one was willing to take the lead. Even if there was nothing to be afraid of, what if the one in front of them was not? maybe there was a death trap?
After a moment of stalemate, everyone’s eyes finally fell on Chu bubai. The meaning was obvious. Chu bubai had been the leader all along. At this juncture, he should naturally be the one to take the lead. After all, he was the leader.
However, for some reason, Chu bubai didn’t have the intention to lead the way. He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice,””It’s just going around like a ghost hitting a wall, there’s nothing to be afraid of. How about this, all of you form a line, taozi will take the lead, and I’ll hold the rear, how about that?”
“This …” Guo dengtao suddenly hesitated. Of course, the others didn’t have to take the lead, but he was unlucky. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said,””Brother Chu, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t know the way. I’ve never been to this place before and I’m not familiar with your family map. Even if I follow the map, it’s easy to get lost, not to mention that I can’t even see the way in front …”
“that’s fine. i’ll hold the line at the back and give you directions at any time. this way, you won’t make any mistakes.” chu bubai said with certainty.
“then … okay …” at this point, guo dengtao could no longer refuse, so he had to brace himself and take the lead to walk forward.
the group formed a line with guo dengtao at the head and wang feng following closely behind him. lin yi and huang xiaotao followed closely behind, and finally, feng hongyu and chu bubai, who was in charge of holding the line.
guo dengtao was very careful. he trembled with fear as if he was walking on thin ice with every step he took. he was afraid that he would fall into a fatal trap. however, chu bubai would give out orders after every few steps. thus, the group walked in the fog for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn without encountering any accidents or dangers.
Lin Yi turned to look around-they were only one step away, but the fog was so thick that their figures were blurry-it was clear how terrifying the visibility was.
However, Lin Yi was more confused about Chu bubai’s plan.
Everyone knew that in this situation, he was the most suitable to take the first route. Not only because he was the most familiar with the route map, it was not easy to get lost, but also because he was a late jiedan stage master, the most powerful one among the group.
It was true that they needed a powerful person to hold the line at the back, but in terms of danger and challenge, it was obvious that the person walking at the front was more dangerous. If there was any danger, he would be able to respond faster.
With Chu bubai’s shrewdness, there was no way he wouldn’t understand this, but he still had to stay at the back to hold the line. Lin Yi thought about it and came up with only two possibilities.
Either he felt that this place was dangerous, so he let Guo dengtao and the others walk in front, just in time to be cannon fodder, so that even if there was an accident, he could escape in time, or he had other intentions, but no one knew what kind of bad intentions he had.
The moonlight was hazy, and the visibility was only one step away from the heavy fog. There was also unknown existence that was faintly discernible in the fog, like a will-o ‘-the-wisp, but also more like a ghostly shadow. It formed an extremely strange and evil picture.
Everyone did not even dare to breathe loudly as they listened to Chu bubai’s instructions. Just like that, one by one, they lined up in the fog and advanced.
If it was an ordinary person, seeing the ghostly shadows around them from time to time, their hearts would probably jump out of their chests. Fortunately, everyone was a master of the jiedan stage, so their minds were much tougher than ordinary people ‘s. Some nervousness and fear were inevitable, but it did not affect their movements.
