"What kind of place is the Forbidden Ruins?" Tang Rou raised her eyebrows slightly.
"There are many legends about the Forbidden Ruins. It's the most mysterious place in the entire Ancient Medicine Palace." Shen Hou lowered his head and rubbed his temples.
"There are many legends about it. Some say that the Forbidden Ruins is the origin of the Ancient Medicine Palace and that it contains a shocking secret treasure left behind by the Medicine Palace's founder. Some say that the Forbidden Ruins is a sealed area that suppresses an ancient ferocious demon. Some say that the Forbidden Ruins is the burial ground of the Medicine Palace's previous leaders, so it contains the immortal souls of the Medicine Palace's predecessors. Some even say that the Forbidden Ruins is related to the fall of the Ancient Medicine Palace and that it contains some shocking secrets. "
"However, no matter what the Forbidden Ruins are, this is an area that no Medicine Palace disciple is allowed to enter. The Medicine Palace has a clear rule that any disciple who enters the Forbidden Ruins without permission … will be killed without mercy! "
"Huh??"
Tang Rou's eyes widened, but a moment later, they turned into a determined expression.
She let out a long breath as if she wanted to exhale all the uneasiness and worry in her chest. "No matter what, since Chu Chen has already gone in, let's go in too."
"Let's go." Shen Hou nodded. "However, we have to be extremely careful. This Forbidden Ruins is an ancient remnant. Who knows what else is hidden inside?"
Once they stepped through the black door, a boundless darkness appeared in their field of vision.
It was a black forest. Towering trees stood proudly, emitting an ancient aura that had gone through the vicissitudes of life.
These giant trees were completely black. The trunks were black, the branches were black, and the leaves were black as well. Their entire bodies looked like they were carved out of black steel, shining with a cold metallic luster.
These giant ancient trees had a very strange appearance. A perfectly straight trunk stood proudly in the sky. The trunks did not bend at all, just like long spears. The surrounding leaves were also needle-shaped, a little like the branches and leaves of a pine tree, but they were even taller and more elegant than a pine tree.
As soon as they entered this strange black forest, Shen Hou and Tang Rou's hearts skipped a beat. They felt an incomparably sharp aura in the air, as if countless sharp spears were pointing straight at them. The sharpness that assaulted their faces even made their skin feel a slight prickle.
This sharp aura was endless and boundless. If one looked closely, one would realize that the ancient trees that looked like long spears actually possessed an incomparable murderous aura. Each tree was like a vast battlefield.
One could faintly see countless armored soldiers fighting madly. Baleful aura shot into the sky while the tips of their spears swept through the sky. The dense baleful aura and killing intent was practically capable of piercing through the sky!
.......................... was...........
Shen Hou and Tang Rou's faces instantly turned pale. The murderous aura was too shocking. Compared to the vast and endless battlefield, the two of them were incomparably small like ants … This was a world filled with bitter battles of life and death, an endless killing field of Asura!
"Don't look at those giant black trees. These ancient trees should be an ancient specialty. They can temper a person's resistance to killing intent and murderous aura. These things aren't something we can come into contact with at the moment. It's far beyond our limits. " Shen Hou's face turned slightly pale. "If you look at those ancient trees for a long time, you might lose your spirit sense and completely lose your mind!"
"Mmm, I understand." Tang Rou nodded her head and shifted her gaze elsewhere. Sure enough, the boundless baleful aura in the air had become much weaker as a result.
However, after Tang Rou flew on the black ground for a while, her expression suddenly turned very ugly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Hou turned to look at Tang Rou.
"Oh no, I … I can't sense the soul mark left behind by Chu Chen!" Tang Rou closed her eyes and carefully sensed for a moment. Her pretty face instantly lost all color. "I can't sense it ever since I came in. My spirit sense has been pushed to the limit, but I can't sense any flame aura at all …"
The two of them seemed to have lost themselves in this black ancient forest!
At this moment, despair flashed across Tang Rou's face. If they couldn't sense the road mark left behind by Chu Chen in this forbidden area, the two of them would be like headless flies running around. They wouldn't be of any use at all!
Shen Hou also fell silent. He lowered his head slightly as thoughts ran through his mind. One could clearly see the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"What should we do next?" Tang Rou bit her lips slightly. Her face was pale as if it was covered in a layer of frost.
"Let's retreat along the path we came from …" After thinking silently for a long time, Shen Hou sighed helplessly. "This forbidden area is too strange. Without the road mark left behind by Chu Chen, it's very easy for us to fall into some desperate situation with our strength …"
"B-But we can't leave Chu Chen alone here."
Tang Rou's face turned even paler. "Looking at the situation here, there shouldn't be any medicine palace instructors chasing after us. It's very likely that Chu Chen is facing Gu Haoran alone. If that's really the case, then he's in danger."
"Logically speaking, we can't leave him alone here." Shen Hou nodded as a sense of defeat appeared on his face. "But we've already lost track of him. Without the road mark, we won't know where he is at all. If we continue to advance blindly, we'll just lose our lives for nothing. The gains won't make up for the losses. "
Tang Rou's expression instantly fell silent. After thinking for a moment, Tang Rou finally gritted her teeth and flew into the depths of the forbidden area again.
"Silly girl …" Shen Hou shook his head helplessly. In the end, he raised his spiritual energy again and chased after Tang Rou.
The two flying figures were quickly swallowed up by the huge black forest. They were like two small boats that sailed into the boundless ocean!
As the two of them gradually entered the depths of the forbidden area, the earth-shattering murderous aura in the surrounding void became denser and denser.
Moreover, the towering ancient trees that looked like long spears around them also became taller and taller. In the end, they even looked like ancient divine spears that towered between heaven and earth, emitting endless sharpness.
Some of the giant trees were even as big as mountains!
