"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure the Divine Wood Heart will reveal itself in this place?"
Qin Shaofeng found it hard to believe, because the spot Nie Qianying had pointed to was still some distance from where the fighting had taken place.
Moreover, when their party had entered this place, there had been no traces of any other teams nearby—not even the slightest sign.
Qin Shaofeng looked ahead. He could no longer make out the road before them. At some point, everything had become shrouded in mist...
Nie Qianying rolled her eyes, her voice turning cloyingly sweet.
"Brother Qin~ Why don't you believe me? We've already made a contract. What benefit would I gain from lying to you?" Nie Qianying pointed her slender finger ahead. "I absorbed quite a bit of the Divine Wood Heart's power from the cold pool earlier. I think Brother Qin..."
"Stop! Call me Qin Shaofeng!" Qin Shaofeng's scalp prickled.
What an unromantic guy... Nie Qianying grumbled inwardly, then her expression turned serious. "Earlier, I absorbed the Divine Wood Heart's power released from the cold pool and the hot spring. Why do you think I went to absorb those two streams of Divine Wood Heart power first?"

"Mm, something like that."
Qin Shaofeng nodded, then frowned. "The fog ahead is quite dense. And I noticed that only after we entered this forest did the fog grow thicker and thicker. Besides... there's something very strange about it. We should be cautious. What do we do next?"
"I also think the fog here is rather eerie. I suggest we have the men prepare themselves where they are first, then consider entering."
"That works." Qin Shaofeng agreed with Nie Qianying's idea. "But we can't stay too long.
