I Have Five Senior Brothers - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Trapped In The Dense Fog Forest

“We still have to talk about this matter from a month ago. A month ago, the dense fog forest was just an ordinary forest. Overnight, the place was shrouded in dense fog. Some people were curious about the situation inside and went in to check. In the end, they did not come out even after a few days. Later, for some reason, some people said that there were treasures inside the dense fog forest. Even more people ran in, but the result was the same. No one came out. There were even some tier 5 experts among them. Moreover, the dense fog was still slowly spreading outwards.” City Lord Han clearly knew Rong Ye’s character. He did not dare to delay any longer and directly informed them.

Nan Hua and the others had already inquired about some things when they came, and it was almost the same as what City Lord Han had said. After listening to City Lord Han’s narration, the three of them looked at each other and were not surprised.

“Other than entering and not coming out, is there anything else different about the dense fog forest? For example, is there any sound or something?” Nan Hua poured a glass of water for Gu Qing. After she drank the water, he turned around and asked City Lord Han.

“There isn’t.” City Lord Han shook his head. “Ever since the dense fog forest became suspicious, I’ve ordered people to keep an eye on the place. I’ve never heard anything wrong. Even after those people entered the forest, they didn’t make any sound.”

“This place looks really strange.” This was the first time Rong Ye had heard of a place like the misty forest. He couldn’t help but sigh and look at Nan Hua. “When do we go in?”

Nan Hua looked at Gu Qingqing and met her innocent eyes. He smiled and said, “When do you want to go in, Qingqing?”

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on her, Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and blinked. “Can we go in now?” She gestured.

“Of course. As long as you are ready, we can set off at any time,” Rong Ye said before Nan Hua could speak.

“Yes, we can set off at any time.” Nan Hua glanced at Rong Ye indifferently and said with a faint smile.

“Then let’s set off now!” Gu Qingqing was somewhat eager to give it a try. Although the dense fog forest looked very dangerous, Gu Qingqing had confidence in Rong Ye and Nan Hua. She more or less knew some of their cultivation levels. Presumably, in a place like the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland, there shouldn’t be many things that could threaten them!

“Okay, then let’s set off now.” Nan Hua stood up and looked at the excited City Lord Han. “City Lord Han, please don’t send anyone to the dense fog forest before we come out.”

He did not want anyone to follow them in. When that time came, besides protecting Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, he would also have to save the others!

“Good, good. I will definitely stop the others from going in,” City Lord Han said excitedly. “Lord Nan, Lord Rong, I hope you will come back soon!”

Rong Ye and Nan Hua nodded noncommittally. Then, they left the city lord’s mansion with Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu.

With the speed of the two of them, even though they brought Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, they soon arrived at the dense fog forest, which was thirty miles away from Cloud Chasing City.

From afar, the entire forest was covered in mist. They could only vaguely see the shadows of some trees. As for the situation inside the mist, it was just like what City Lord Han had described. They could not see it clearly at all.

Nan Hua carried Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye led Jun Wu. The two of them looked at each other and then stepped into the forest together.

After entering the forest, they saw nothing but white. They could not see or hear anything. It was like an independent space. Nan Hua and Gu Qingqing were separated from Jun Wu and Rong Ye.

“Little Five, Rong Ye!” Once again calling out Rong Ye’s name, Nan Hua frowned, confirming that they had been separated from Rong Ye and Jun Wu.

“Little Qingqing, don’t worry. Although Rong Ye, that kid, is arrogant, he is still quite reliable. He should be fine.” Because they were close, he could still see Gu Qingqing’s frowning face and could not help but comfort her.

Gu Qingqing nodded but did not let go of her frown. She even tightened her grip around Nan Hua’s neck.

Knowing that Gu Qingqing was still worried about Rong Ye and the others, Nan Hua pursed his lips and did not speak.

He released his spiritual sense and wanted to check out the surrounding environment. However, he realized that what he saw with his spiritual sense was the same as what he saw with his eyes. It was a vast expanse of white.

Most importantly, this was originally a forest. There should be many trees inside. However, he had carried Gu Qingqing and walked here for quite a while, but he did not see a single tree. Moreover, based on his walking speed, he should have left this forest by now, but he was still in it. It was as if he had walked for half a day and was still in the same place!

Nan Hua was a grandmaster of array formation. However, he did not find any traces of an array formation after walking for half a day. In other words, this dense fog forest was not formed by an array formation!

After feeling that he had been in the dense fog forest for an hour, Nan Hua stopped and frowned, deep in thought.

Gu Qingqing also realized that this place was not simple, so she had been hanging around Nan Hua’s neck all the way. When she saw him frowning, she could not help but become nervous. She looked around vigilantly and then nervously looked at Nan Hua.

“Third senior brother, did you find anything?” Seeing that Nan Hua did not speak for a long time, Gu Qingqing could not help but gesture.

“No, this place is really strange. I did not feel any traces of an array formation. This should not be a magic weapon. According to City Lord Han’s description, this should only be a small forest. However, we have already walked for an hour. Not only did we not see a single tree, but we also did not leave this place. Moreover, we did not even touch a single person. This place is very strange!” Nan Hua felt that this place was a little tricky. At first, they had thought that this place was a little too simple.

For the time being, this place did not seem to be dangerous. However, this place was a vast expanse of whiteness. There was no sound, and there was nothing else. They could not walk out of this place either. If they waited any longer, they were afraid that they would collapse.

“Moreover, there are no fluctuations of spiritual power here!” This was what worried him the most. If they had spiritual power, they would be fine even if they were trapped for decades or even centuries. However, if they did not have spiritual power, they would definitely not be able to hold on for long.

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing frowned slightly and her face turned slightly pale.

This was the first time she had encountered such a dangerous situation. Previously, although it seemed dangerous, it was almost always easily solved. But this time, they did not even know what they were facing and they had no way to solve it.

“Don’t worry, I’ll try to send a message to Rong Ye and the others to see if it can be sent out.” Seeing that Gu Qingqing was a little scared but still pretended to be calm, Nan Hua quickly patted her back and said.

[ Then hurry up and send it. ] Gu Qingqing looked at Nan Hua eagerly, waiting for his result.
