Deep mountains, ancient forests.
Brilliant sunlight, dappled shadows.
In ancient times, undeveloped wildernesses of mountains and forests were perilous forbidden lands. Dense vegetation filled them, making direction difficult to discern, while savage beasts and venomous insects and snakes lurked everywhere. Only experienced hunters or those driven to the brink of survival dared enter. Thus, these places usually held nothing but the roars of beasts and songs of birds, with no trace of human presence.
Yet today, this nameless range of steep mountains and dense forest was exceptionally lively.
A group of people raced through the treacherous mountains and deep woods without regard for the dangers. They were Yin Kuang, Wei Ming, and the others. They looked somewhat bedraggled. Their clothes were covered in grass seeds, their skin scratched open by serrated weeds, and some even bore dried bloodstains. These were the marks the ancient forest had left upon its passing visitors.
Sweat beaded on their faces, and lingering fright remained in their expressions.
"That was really close!" Murong Yan said as she hurried along, trying to ease the pressure in her heart. "That Lü Bu simply isn't human! If he were thrown into the world of The Forbidden Kingdom, I feel like he could even slaughter the Jade Emperor. And that Red Hare—it's practically some prehistoric ferocious beast."
Wei Ming said, "Yeah. I always thought I'd trained myself to be brave enough, but when I saw Lü Bu just now, I was so scared I couldn't even move. That guy has definitely transcended godhood! What the hell kind of world is this?" Shen Kou was also full of resentment. "I'd rather die than face that guy! I thought we'd been tempered enough at the academy. If nothing else, we should at least have the means to save our own lives.
