The Shrek people stood quietly by the Forgotten River. Their figures seemed a little hazy in the dim light. Tang Nian stared at the strange scene in the Forgotten River, and an indescribable tremor surged in his heart.

The river is deep and quiet, like a huge piece of black jade, exuding a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.

The occasional ripples were like whispers in the night wind, seeming to tell tragic and sad stories. On the river, countless ghosts were floating slowly like misty fog.

Their faces are blurry and shrouded in a thin haze; one can only vaguely see endless sorrow and deep confusion in their eyes.

These poor souls wandered in the river, like lost ships, desperately searching for the way to reincarnation. However, the shackles of fate bound them tightly here, and no matter how hard they struggled, they could only spin in this small space.

The central area of ​​the Forgotten River was an even more horrifying scene.

Insects and snakes are rampant, swimming nimbly through the turbid river water. The rustling sound made by the snakes' twisting bodies is particularly clear and sharp in the silent atmosphere, making people feel creepy.

The snake's shadow was stretched extremely long in the dim sky, like a ghost in the darkness, giving people an invisible sense of oppression, while those tiny insects were busy moving in the river, their tiny bodies made slight sounds, as if they were carrying out an unknown secret operation.

They are completely unaware of what is happening around them and are completely immersed in their own world.

The surrounding scenery was like an abandoned painting, so desolate that it was heart-wrenching, and so bleak that it lacked any of the vitality that a living person should have.

The wind blew silently, as if it was a sigh from the depths of the underworld, gently brushing across this dead land, moving the long-dried grasses and trees around it. They were like dancers who had lost their souls, swaying weakly but persistently, making waves of bleak sounds that echoed endlessly in this empty wilderness.

The sky gradually darkened, and the inky darkness swallowed up the remaining light bit by bit.

The underworld, which was already gloomy and depressing, was now shrouded in a thick haze, appearing even more eerie and terrifying.

The air was filled with a smell of death that was so strong that it was almost impossible to dispel it, making it feel heavy and difficult to breathe.

As night fell completely, the scene on the Forgotten River became more and more bizarre.

Those lingering ghosts, as if summoned by some mysterious force, began to become restless. Their wails rose one after another, sometimes shrill, sometimes sad, interweaving into a terrifying elegy.

At the same time, the insects and snakes in the river also became unusually active, twisting their bodies and crawling through the river at an astonishing speed, stirring up muddy waves from time to time. The whole scene was in chaos, as if doomsday had arrived.

At this moment, Tang Nian suddenly heard a familiar and cold voice coming from behind him, "You can start now."

She turned her head suddenly and saw Haier standing there quietly, looking ahead expressionlessly. Behind him, Natasha stood respectfully with her head bowed, her face full of awe.

Seeing these two people, Tang Nian's tense heart finally relaxed a little. She knew that once the fight started, she would have to rely more on Haier to protect their safety.

Haier looked at everyone present with a serious face, and slowly said, "Although I promised before that I would save your lives at the most critical moment, please keep one thing in mind, that is, I will never do anything unnecessary. All the matters that follow must be completed by your own strength."

At this point, he paused for a moment, fixed his gaze on Tang Nian, and then continued, "Sir, the next step will depend on your personal performance."

After hearing this, Tang Nian nodded solemnly, then turned around and jumped into the mysterious Forgetful River without hesitation.

After such a long period of careful preparation, they have already roughly understood the situation of the Nether Snake King from the stories told by Ramos and Lin Yehao.

To be precise, this information mostly came from Lin Yehao's mouth. It has to be admitted that Lin Yehao is indeed an extremely lively and cheerful guardian of the Holy Pillar, and his personality is completely different from the calm and introverted Ramos.

Just today, she even expressed her desire to come along, but unfortunately, due to Haier's firm refusal, she was unable to make the trip.

After entering the Forgotten River, what was even more surprising was that the ghosts wandering aimlessly around and the insects and snakes shuttling back and forth in it seemed to be completely unaware of the living figures of Tang Nian and the other humans.

They ignored these uninvited guests and continued to wander around the Forgotten River as usual.

Among the people in Shrek Academy, except Tang Nian, everyone was holding a gorgeous red spider lily in their hands.

This was secretly given to everyone by Lin Yehao before they set off.

It is said that with it, one can cleverly avoid those eerie and terrifying ghosts and dangerous insects and snakes, thus effectively avoiding some unpredictable troubles.

So, everyone swam towards the deeper parts of the Forgotten River without hesitation.

As he went deeper, Tang Nian gradually felt that the deathly aura around him was getting thicker. When Tang Nian looked down at the bottom of the river, he saw piles of pale bones of insects and snakes. This scene made Tang Nian frown involuntarily.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mountains of bones before our eyes are most likely the remains of the terrifying Netherworld Snake King left behind after he feasted on the beast.

As we continued to move forward, the number of bones under our feet kept piling up like a snowball, and judging from their color, they seemed to be quite fresh.

Obviously, from such signs it can be inferred that the distance between them and the Nether Snake King is gradually narrowing.

With every small step forward, the enormous pressure that is invisible, intangible but real comes like a tide, increasing bit by bit, as if filling the entire space with a terrifying atmosphere that makes people's backs cold and their hair stand on end.

However, even in the face of such a horrifying situation, no one from Shrek Academy chose to take a step back.

Not far ahead, a huge stone like a small hill suddenly came into view, on which were engraved four powerful characters "Netherworld Snake Clan" in a flamboyant manner.
