Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

"This forest is more gloomy than any other we have encountered before." Zhang Meng looked around anxiously as he walked. His loud voice was particularly abrupt in the silent forest.

"Can you be quiet? We are already conspicuous enough. We don't need any more noise." Li Xiao responded coldly. His eyes were always scanning the surroundings vigilantly. It was obvious that the atmosphere here made him feel extremely uneasy.

"Hey, I'm just giving you a heads up." Zhang Meng shrugged, "I always feel like there's something bad hiding in this place."

"We can all feel it." Qin Feng whispered, with a hint of worry in his voice, "The energy of this forest is very chaotic, as if it is absorbing everything around it."

"It feels like... some kind of trap." Ye Li gripped the bow tightly, her eyes full of vigilance.

Zhang Meng looked around and suddenly patted his head with an expression of sudden enlightenment. "Ah, I understand! This place is very similar to the stories I heard when I was a child, the mysterious tree spirits, the lost adventurers who eventually turned into nutrients for the trees, and so on!"

"You mean, we will also become nutrients for the trees?" Chu Tian asked helplessly.

"Hey, I'm just making an analogy." Zhang Meng smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

"I hope your analogy won't come true." Ye Li rolled her eyes.

As they continued to walk forward, the forest became denser, as if the trees around them were pressing towards them intentionally or unintentionally. The shadows of the trees jumped on the ground like ghosts, and occasionally there were a few low creaking sounds, as if the trees were whispering.

"This sound is really disturbing." Zhang Meng couldn't help but mutter.

"This forest seems to be alive." Li Xiao whispered, "We must be very careful and not take it lightly."

"So where are we going?" Zhang Meng stopped and looked around. He looked at the dense forest in front of him, then at the road behind him, and suddenly realized that the road was gone.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Meng looked puzzled, "Where is the road we just took?"

Several people stopped walking immediately. Ye Li frowned and looked around quickly. "Indeed, the road behind us...disappeared?"

"What's going on?" Chu Tian's voice was filled with obvious surprise.

"This forest seems to have some kind of confusing power." Qin Feng analyzed calmly, "We have fallen into its maze."

"A maze? That's not good!" Zhang Meng subconsciously tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand. "No wonder I felt something was wrong. We are trapped!"

"Don't panic." Qin Feng waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, "As long as you keep a clear mind, any maze can be solved."

"So you have a way to crack it?" Zhang Meng asked hopefully.

"I need to sense time." Qin Feng closed his eyes and began to use the power of the Soul Spring to try to sense the energy fluctuations of the forest.

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Zhang Meng muttered, then sighed, "So all we can do now is wait?"

"Yes." Ye Li said softly, her eyes still alert, "But we can't rely entirely on the power of the Soul Spring. This forest may have other means."

"Then let me protect you all." Zhang Meng straightened his chest. Although he was a little nervous, he still showed a determined expression.

"I hope you can protect yourself." Li Xiao said lightly.

"You always hit me." Zhang Meng said with a wry smile.

Just as they were waiting for Qin Feng to sense something, suddenly, the surrounding trees began to emit a strange whispering sound, which became louder and louder, as if countless ghosts were whispering in their ears.

"That sound is wrong." Ye Li quickly tightened her grip on the bow, her expression becoming increasingly nervous.

"They seem to be trying to interfere with our will." Chu Tian frowned, "Everyone concentrate and don't be affected by them."

"I'm not afraid of these strange noises." Zhang Meng said confidently, then shook his head vigorously, trying to ignore the whispers.

The whispers became more and more intense, and even filled the air with a dull sense of oppression. The shadows of the trees seemed to become more active, swaying around them constantly, giving people a feeling that they might be swallowed up at any time.

"Qin Feng, we don't have much time!" Ye Li said anxiously, watching the shadows of the trees around her getting closer and closer.

"I'm about to find a breakthrough point." Qin Feng closed his eyes, his voice full of concentration and urgency, "The energy fluctuations of these trees are very strange, they seem to be controlled by some force."

"I hope you find it quickly, otherwise we might be eaten by the tree!" Zhang Meng waved the weapon in his hand, as if protesting against the tree shadows.

Suddenly, the whispering of the trees stopped, and an eerie silence fell. Then, there was a low vibration in the air, as if the ground was shaking slightly.

"What's that sound?" Chu Tian asked in a low voice, looking alert.

"Hurry, follow me!" Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "I found the weak point of energy, hurry up!"

Several people immediately followed Qin Feng and moved quickly in the direction he indicated. As they continued to approach the weak point of energy, the sense of oppression around them gradually weakened, and the shadows of the trees began to slowly retreat.

"It seems we have escaped from that maze." Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you, Qin Feng always finds a way!" Zhang Meng said with a big laugh, showing full confidence in Qin Feng's abilities.

"But we are not completely out of danger yet." Qin Feng said vigilantly, "This forest is far more complicated than we imagined. We must be more careful next time."

"Well, it seems we have to rely more on your intuition this time." Zhang Meng said with a smile.

The group continued to move forward. Although the oppressive feeling in the air had weakened, they knew that the danger in this forest was far from over. As the night deepened, new mysteries and dangers were quietly approaching.

"I have a feeling that this adventure may not be so simple." Ye Li said softly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine with me here." Zhang Meng patted his chest and smiled brightly.

"I hope your confidence can last until the end." Li Xiao responded coldly.

"My confidence is endless!" Zhang Meng laughed.

As they continue to go deeper into the forest, an unprecedented challenge awaits them. In this sea of ​​trees shrouded in shadows, whether they can successfully find the answer is still full of unknowns.
