Yunxi looked at the restless forest and sent a message to the Spirit Pets beside her:
"Tonight, I've decided to continue fighting the giant beasts. Other than Immortal Spirit, Dian Dian and Rosy Cloud should stay in the Spirit Beast Bag. The things here will affect you."
"Yes, Master."
Dian Dian and Rosy Cloud answered readily, then slipped skillfully into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Yunxi immediately cinched the Spirit Beast Bag shut and prepared to leap down from the giant tree. A brown-black giant python silently slithered up the trunk, slowly making its way toward Yunxi's position. Then, without warning, it coiled around her. Yet its constricting attack found only empty air.
The instant Yunxi left the space, she released her divine sense. However, the area it could cover had shrunk by another mile compared to yesterday. This made her realize that although she had not absorbed the Spiritual Qi here to cultivate, she was still being restricted by something.
It was likely the "bad stuff" Immortal Spirit had mentioned. She then touched her cheek.

That was why her divine sense had been restricted.
