Buzz buzz!
Suddenly, just as Xiao Chen and the rest were about to step into the wild forest, they felt a few ripples of teleportation coming from beside them.
Following that, a few figures appeared.
"It's you guys?"
Upon seeing the sudden appearance of these people, Xiao Chen and Malachite were slightly taken aback.
These fellows were none other than the disciples from the Celestial Nation that they had met on the battlefield earlier.
Huo Lieke, Duanmu Wenqi, Huangfu Xiang, and Zhangsun Rufeng!
"We meet again!" Huo Lieke took the initiative to greet Xiao Chen.
"Why are you guys here as well?" Malachite glared at the four fellows with slight displeasure. She glanced at them one by one before saying abruptly, "Could it be that you guys knew that we would be here first, so you followed us here? Could it be that you guys were worried that we would arrive at South Dingnan City first and reap some benefits in advance? "
"Cough cough …"
The moment these words came out, the four fellows all had unnatural expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen instantly knew that Malachite's words had struck a sore spot in these fellows' hearts.
The news that they had arrived at South Dingnan City ahead of time was not kept a secret. If these fellows had been paying attention, they would definitely have received the news at the first instance. It was definitely as Malachite had said. They were worried that they would reap some benefits by arriving at South Dingnan City first, so they had followed them here.
"How boring. Whatever we do, you guys do as well. You're just like tagging along." Seeing this, Malachite scolded them without holding back.
At this moment, she did not have the image of a goddess that a fairy should have.
This caused both Da Huang and Chen Hao to be dumbfounded.
Especially Chen Hao. He knew of Malachite's identity. The saintess of the Divine Lotus Race actually had such a valiant side to her. This was indeed inconceivable to him.
Da Huang was more or less thinking the same thing. He did not expect such a beautiful lady to say such words.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a fairy before? " Malachite glanced at Da Huang and Chen Hao from the corner of her eyes. She turned around and glared at them.
The two fellows exchanged glances and shivered. They retracted their gazes, no longer daring to look at Malachite.
Xiao Chen was secretly amused as he watched from the side.
Anyone who saw Malachite for the first time would subconsciously think that she was a high and mighty goddess. But in fact, only after spending some time with her would one realize that Malachite did not have that so-called goddess demeanor, nor did she have the so-called reserved demeanor of a lady!
He had a wild temper.
There was nothing she didn't dare to say, and nothing she didn't dare to do.
He was already used to it on the battlefield.
Moreover, it was very clear that Huolenke and the others were already accustomed to Malachite's appearance. They didn't show any surprise at all and only pretended not to hear it. They looked around and simply didn't reply.
"I'm telling you, don't follow us!" When Malachite saw that these guys didn't talk to each other face to face, he also felt a little bored. After giving them a stern warning, he turned around and walked into the wild forest.
Xiao Chen gestured to Da Huang and Chen Hao before following behind Malachite.
Huolenke and the others basically didn't stop and followed behind them into the wild forest.
"Hmph, these guys are really annoying. They're like ghosts that won't go away," Malachite muttered unhappily as she turned her head to look.
Xiao Chen felt a little helpless. He didn't know why Malachite was so disgusted with these Celestial Nation disciples, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.
When Da Huang and Chen Hao saw that Xiao Chen didn't say anything, they also firmly shut their mouths and didn't say anything.
"Be careful. From now until we reach South Dingnan City, it will take us at least two years. Keep your spirits up and don't be careless," Malachite said cautiously as her expression returned to normal.
She didn't pay any more attention to Zhangsun Rufeng and the others behind them.
"We need two years to rush? That long? "Da Huang stared.
"Brother, this is already not bad. The direction we're teleporting in is the closest direction to South Dingnan City. If it were any other direction, with our current cultivation, I'm afraid it would take us tens of years to get there!" Chen Hao laughed.
"It's taking so long just to get here. How boring," Big Yellow mumbled to himself.
"Boring? No, no, no. You definitely won't be bored, "Chen Hao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly revealed a mischievous smile.
"Don't you guys feel that the temperature in this wild forest doesn't seem right?" Xiao Chen suddenly waved his hand in the air and said with a slightly serious expression.
"The temperature here is very low, and it will be even lower at night. Right now, it's the middle of the month, so it's still acceptable. However, at the end of the month, the temperature here will be very cold, even for us," Malachite said without turning his head.
A light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes as he slowly asked, "In this wild forest, are there a few periods of time in a month where special situations occur?"
This was the second time he heard Malachite emphasize the concept of the middle of the month and the end of the month.
"As expected of my chosen teammate. You're quite clever!" Malachite was pleased with himself for a moment before saying, "That's right. The wild forest will have different changes at the beginning, middle, and end of the month. Although the changes are different, the middle of the month is the safest period. At the end of the month, we'll have to travel at night and rest during the day."
"That's quite strange," Xiao Chen said.
"There are many strange places in the wild forest. You'll know soon enough, "Malachite said casually.
Indeed, Malachite's words weren't exaggerated in the slightest. In the following days, Xiao Chen and the others experienced what it meant to be strange.
For example, sometimes the others would disappear as they walked. This was the most common phenomenon.
There were also times when a strange smell would inexplicably spread. If one were to accidentally smell it, they would immediately fall into a deep sleep.
Then, they would spend several days in a dream before waking up.
Or, if they accidentally stepped on a piece of bone left behind by an unknown creature, they would instantly lose all their cultivation and would only be able to recover after half a month.
The first time they encountered such a situation, they were quite frightened.
This was especially true for Xiao Chen, who thought he was going to experience the pain of losing all of his cultivation again.
Fortunately, Malachite was quite experienced in these situations and could slightly comfort them. Otherwise, this kind of strange situation would be enough to break everyone's mentality.
There were indeed too many strange things to count.
Some of them were fine and were just false alarms. But sometimes, they really did take a trip to the gates of hell.
