There were all kinds of strange sounds that ca from around Lin Fan after he stepped into the forest.
But from ti to ti, the forest around him did suddenly go silent as if everything around him had suddenly disappeared.
With how these things happened around him, it really was quite eerie walking through this place.
One could see how this place beca known as the Forest of Death.
Though the one sign that showed that this place was filled with death the most were the bones that were scattered all over the place. Every few steps, Lin Fan could see a few bones that were scattered around the area.
They were never bones that seem to co from the sa animal.
It seed that this place was filled with all kinds of death with how many different kinds of bones were scattered here.
But from beginning to end, Lin Fan never actually saw anything around him.
It was as if everything that was in this place was hiding away from him.
Almost as if it was preparing to strike at him at any mont from the shadows.
Though it wasn’t as if there was anything that could sneak up on him since Lin Fan had his spiritual sense around him the entire ti. If there was sothing that tried to approach him, he would find it right away with his spiritual sense.
The only reason that he didn’t spread it out further to explore this place was because...
"What is this strange feeling in this place? Why does it feel like there’s sothing that is restraining ?" Lin Fan couldn’t help muttering to himself.
When he had tried to scan the forest with his spiritual sense earlier, he found that there was sothing that was stopping his spiritual sense from spreading. It was similar to how the mist had stopped his spiritual sense in the Mist Lands.
So there was a part of Lin Fan that wondered if it was another Outer God that was exerting its presence in this place...but he soon tossed this theory out.
Weiss had already shown what the gods would do to the Outer Gods when they found them, as well as the grudge that was between the gods and the Outer Gods. So even if there was a fragnt that had been hiding in the Mist Lands, it didn’t an that there would be the sa thing here.
If that many Outer Gods were able to make their way onto the magic continent, then what were the gods doing?
So it wasn’t as if it was that likely that it would be another Outer God...
Still, Lin Fan couldn’t help keeping this in the back of his mind just in case.
After making his way through this place for a bit, he found that there was nothing at all.
From the stories that he had heard at the nearby Adventurer’s Guild branch, the ones that had co out of this Forest of Death alive would always seem like they had gone crazy.
They kept muttering sothing about how they kept walking around and getting more and more lost.
This was most likely what they had been talking about.
Without anything to guide him, Lin Fan didn’t know exactly which direction he should be heading in. At the sa ti, it seed like there was sothing that was also affecting him ntally.
He could tell that there was sothing that was affecting his mind, that was making him lose track of where he had been previously. Whether it was through the trees themselves moving or through so kind of ntal attack, it did seem like everything blended in together.
Though in Lin Fan’s case, he didn’t really have to panic.
As long as he wanted to leave this place, it would only take a single thought.
He had done the sa thing as before where he had been leaving pieces of dirt in the ground wherever he went. Even if the things in this Forest of Death wanted to make him lose track of where he was, it was impossible as long as he had that trail of crumbs.
In fact, since Lin Fan had broken through and beco stronger, he had even greater control of those pieces of dirt and the gravity that they released.
As long as he wanted, he could allow them to pull him out of this place.
It would be like a trail of magnets pulling him out of this forest.
That was just how strong his control of gravity forces was now.
So even if Lin Fan had no idea where he was in the Forest of Death, he at least knew which direction he should be heading in.
Though he was surprised that nothing was happening at all.
He had thought that since he had found the right path, the ones that were hiding in the shadow would panic since he would be able to find his way through eventually. So they would want to do sothing to him before he could escape from their trap.
But it seed that they had quite good patience.
That was until sothing finally happened, though it didn’t co from where Lin Fan had expected it to co from.
All of a sudden, there were roots that ca out of the ground that stabbed at him with sharp ends. It seed that whatever these roots belonged to had sharpened them for a long ti to ensure that they would kill whatever they hit.
But that didn’t work in front of Lin Fan.
The only thing that happened was that a layer of water appeared around him that stopped all of the roots that had stabbed at him. Though it was a layer of water, it seed like it was a layer of steel with the sound that the roots made when hitting it.
Though that was also a sign of how hard these roots were.
"As expected, it was the trees that were moving." Though Lin Fan had already expected this, it was still interesting to see this theory being confird.
At the sa ti, it ant that he knew what to target next.
Though he did take a closer look at the roots.
It wasn’t because of how hard they were, it was because of what they tried to do after they had stabbed into the Clear Water barrier that Lin Fan had created.
The Clear Water barrier was too strong to fall for it, but the roots had tried to suck up the Clear Water that made up the barrier. It seed like these roots did function properly as roots.
"Is it for sucking water or..."
If these roots were used to stab people, then one would be able to imagine what kind of liquid the roots were made to suck in. It would most likely be a red liquid that was rich in iron...
As expected of the Forest of Death, even the trees that were here were things that were made to kill.
Since that was the case, there was no reason for Lin Fan to hold back.
In a place where it was kill or be killed, there was only one thing that he could do.
"Burn." Lin Fan said as he waved his hand around him.
When he did this, there were black flas that appeared around him that spread out in all directions. They were aid at the trees that were all around.
The mont that the black flas hit the trees, they imdiately started to spread.
Using the body of the trees as tinder, the black flas grew and grew as it quickly covered these trees.
In response to this, the roots of the trees ca out of the ground in an attempt to hit and smother the flas. Only no matter how the roots of the trees tried, it didn’t seem like the flas were going out.
In fact, the flas even seed to spread to the roots when they were hit.
So the only thing that the trees could do was cut off the pieces that were on fire, but that still didn’t work. The black flas spread too fast for the tree to do anything and it didn’t take long for the trees to be fully engulfed in these black flas.
The trees seed to understand that they were done for, so the only thing that they could do was try to take out the one that controlled the flas.
All of the roots imdiately stabbed out at Lin Fan once more.
But all it took was a single flick of his hand for these roots to be cut.
The black flas that surrounded the roots were still under the control of Lin Fan, so he transford them into blades that cut right through these roots. There was no resistance at all from these roots as they were cut apart.
In the end, there was nothing that the trees could do as they were burnt to ashes by the black flas.
As they disappeared, Lin Fan could see that there were more things that were being revealed under the ground. As the roots of the trees disappeared, there were more bones that were suddenly uncovered.
All of these bones no doubt belonged to previous victims that had fallen in this Forest of Death.
This place really was a place that was filled with death, as per the na...
But it wasn’t as if Lin Fan would allow this place to take his life.
Once the trees had been turned to ashes, the path ahead had actually cleared up for him.
