Su Fan stepped into the forest, as though he had gone from broad daylight straight into dusk. An unusually gloomy chill washed over him.
Layer upon layer of leaves blanketed the treetops, blocking out the light completely. Only now and then did a few rays of sunlight pierce through the leafy barricade and shine onto the path, forming patches of light large and small.
At his feet, thick layers of fallen leaves had piled up upon one another. Eroded by time, they had turned somewhat black, and an aura of decay was slowly wafting from them.
Luo Xiwen also jumped down from above. Grimacing, she rubbed her arm and looked around with undisguised curiosity.
"Should we activate another 'Wind-Riding Ten-Thousand-Mile Great Teleportation Immortal Talisman'...?"
Su Fan shook his head. "We've already killed Old Ancestor Kumou. The Heavenly Devil inside him needs some time to condense a demonic body. It won't be able to catch us. Let's hide here for now..."
After saying that, he stepped over the thick fallen leaves and walked ahead.
"Sigh... Where are we going...?"
Su Fan ignored her. After crossing a ridge, he arrived before a cave. He had just discovered it with his Spiritual Sense.
After a difficult trek, Luo Xiwen finally caught up. Seeing Su Fan enter the cave, she covered her nose and followed him inside.
"You're not planning to make me hide here, are you...?"
Su Fan ignored her, took a Cleaning Talisman from his Storage Ring, and activated it. The cave immediately became much cleaner.
Not minding the dirty ground, he found a flat spot and sat down cross-legged.
"You should have a Portable Secret Realm, right? Go stay inside. I'll keep watch outside for you..."
After hearing this, the girl took a Secret Realm Jade Key from her Storage Ring
