Sure enough, not long after, a dozen or so demonic wolves appeared not far from the two of them.
"Run," said Devil Moon.
Ye Xuan shook his head. "There's no escape. Kill them."
With that, he rushed out.
Devil Moon watched Ye Xuan rush out, gritted her teeth, and ultimately did not choose to run away, but instead rushed out as well.
Ten minutes later, both of them collapsed weakly to the ground.
Before them lay the corpses of demon wolves.
Ye Xuan was in better condition, with few injuries.
Devil Moon was in a much worse state; her clothes were torn in many places, and in some places, shocking bloodstains were visible.
"Sizzle."
Ye Xuan caught his breath and stood up.
He tore off a piece of his clothing and wrapped it around Devil Moon's wound, then used wood to sharpen it into a wooden knife.
Only then did they go over and cut the flesh and blood.
After working for most of the day, a bonfire was lit, and the two of them barbecued and enjoyed the wolf meat.
Ye Xuan's expression turned strange after taking just one bite.
He felt a surge of energy, an energy that was replenishing his depletion.
Moreover, he sensed the location of the sixth shackle.
Seeing Ye Xuan's surprised expression, Devil Moon couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
She took small bites of the roasted wolf meat, feeling an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
When has she, Devil Moon, ever fallen to such a state?
Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you sense the energy in the wolf meat?"
"Energy?" Devil Moon shook her head. "No, none."
Ye Xuan was stunned.
No?
How is that possible?
Filled with doubt, the two ate and drank their fill and soon set off again.
They encountered several more waves of monsters, and gradually, darkness fell.
Devil Moon walked with difficulty, utterly exhausted.
At one point, she couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I... I want to rest for a while."
Ye Xuan glanced at Devil Moon and nodded. "Okay."
Devil Moon collapsed to the ground, but perhaps fearing Ye Xuan Ye Xuan leave, she struggled to crawl to his side.
She gripped Ye Xuan's arm tightly with both hands, then rested her head on his lap and fell asleep.
Night fell, and everything was pitch black.
Devil Moon slept peacefully and soundly.
Ye Xuan had absolutely no desire to sleep.
He looked around, wary of any unknown dangers.
At the same time, he was also wondering why Devil Moon hadn't sensed the energy within those demon wolves.
why is that?
Furthermore, is the danger posed by this forbidden area solely due to these demonic beasts?
If that's the case, it wouldn't be considered dangerous, would it?
However, considering Devil Moon's helplessness, Ye Xuan could understand.
It is indeed quite dangerous. If you lose your cultivation upon arriving here, and have to face these demonic beasts every day, unless you have an extremely strong physical body, you will die here sooner or later.
You must understand, Ye Xuan possessed the Chaos Sacred Body and had even broken free of five shackles; if that was so difficult, then it's even more difficult for others.
"How bizarre, how truly bizarre."
Ye Xuan murmured, finding it very difficult to understand.
The night passed quickly, and the two encountered no danger that night.
When Devil Moon woke up, she saw the large wet patch on Ye Xuan's trouser leg and was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
"You, you're not asleep?" She looked up, her pretty face flushed, a little embarrassed and ashamed.
Ye Xuan didn't answer the question, but instead looked at Devil Moon, "It seems your mental state has recovered. Let's go."
Devil Moon nodded and obediently stood up.
To her surprise, she found that she had gained some extra strength, and her physical body seemed to have improved slightly.
The two continued their journey, enduring several more attacks from monsters, until they came to see a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain stands a monument.
Ye Xuan looked at the inscription on the stele, and saw that it read:
Welcome to the Forest of the Forbidden Land.
Then there was an arrow pointing to the mountaintop.
Below the welcome sign to the Forest of the Forbidden Land, there are densely packed small characters carved on it.
[ The Forest of the Forbidden Land is a magical artifact left behind by an ancient being, sealing within it many ferocious and savage beasts, as well as countless vengeful spirits.]
Only by successfully reaching the top of the forest can one leave this place.
[Please be extremely careful, very careful, or you could lose your life.]
Ye Xuan stared at the inscription, utterly dumbfounded.
He seriously doubted who had left this inscription.
It just doesn't look right.
Devil Moon's eyes widened in disbelief.
In an instant, she felt the hairs on her body stand on end. "Master, is there still a living being here? Or is that ancient being still alive?"
The thought sent chills down her spine.
After all, if the other party wasn't alive, then who carved this inscription?
Ye Xuan shook his head. "I don't know either. Let's go up and take a look."
He also became wary.
For a fleeting moment, he also felt a sense of horror.
The two walked forward and soon stepped over the stone tablet.
Turning his head, Ye Xuan was horrified to find that the stone tablet was gone, and behind him, everything was shrouded in a gray haze.
