"Ahhhhh!"

Soon, more people were bitten.

The situation was exactly the same; they didn't even have time to struggle before turning into rotting corpses.

What's even more deadly is that these snakes, while attacking, also try to mimic their speech.

The various sounds intertwined, making one's scalp tingle involuntarily!

"Retreat immediately!"

Chen Huo mobilized his energy, his hands moving rapidly, unleashing bursts of energy that swept across the snake swarm, sending them flying.

If the level of a grandmaster martial artist is characterized by the balance of strength and gentleness in their internal energy, then the realm of a king is characterized by the ability to project their energy outwards and condense it into various offensive techniques.

Unfortunately, there were just too many snakes.

One wave is pushed back, but the next one comes.

They acted like they had no regard for their lives; they were extremely crazy!

"Completely crimson red, and it can even mimic human speech... Could this be the legendary crested serpent?!" Xian Yu exclaimed in shock, "I never imagined there would be crested serpents in the Demon Cave Forest!"

"We have to find a way to get away from them, or we're all going to die!"

"Damn it, take this!" Old Xie suddenly swung his arm, scattering a cloud of dust.

Upon contact, the swarm of snakes immediately and instinctively scattered.

"It works!" Ibrahimovic's eyes lit up. "Old Xie, what is this thing?"

"Hehe, when I'm out and about, I always carry some insect repellent with me. This is a unique medicinal powder from my Xiangxi lineage!" Old Xie said with a smug look on his face.

"Alright, stop showing off, sprinkle more!" Ibrahimovic urged.

"I only have a limited amount of medicine powder!" Old Xie turned to his two apprentices and said, "You two, quickly take out all the medicine powder!"

Bang bang bang!

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Huo raised his hand and slapped it away, creating a hurricane that scattered dust all around.

In an instant, all the crested snakes were startled and retreated.

"Hurry up!"

Taking advantage of the brief gap, everyone rushed forward frantically.

They ran a long way before stopping, making sure the swarm of crested snakes hadn't caught up.

They were all panting heavily, still shaken.

"The Demon Cave Forest truly lives up to its name; danger lurks everywhere!" Eevee exclaimed, wiping the sweat from his brow.

Chen Huo glanced around; after this swarm of snakes, the group of over twenty had been reduced to nearly half. "Everyone, stay alert!" he said, "or we'll lose our lives before we even find the treasure!"

Everyone's expression tightened, and they all watched the surrounding movements warily.

Fortunately, they had all rested, and after all that commotion, they were no longer in the mood to sleep, so they decided to continue their journey.

The Demon Cave Forest is like a bottomless abyss; you have no idea how far it goes.

Before we knew it, the second night had quietly arrived.

Apart from a few attacks by wild animals, I didn't encounter anything as terrifying as the crested snake.

"Wait a minute!" Old Xie suddenly exclaimed in doubt, "Something's not right!"

"Have you noticed that we're going around in circles?"

"We've come full circle!"

"Old Xie, how did you know?" Ibu asked. "The things in this forest all look pretty much the same, there's nothing special about them!"

"Something's not right!" Old Xie frowned, bent down and picked up a cigarette butt. "Look, this is the cigarette I smoked, and there are even my footprints on it!"

"We must have been here before!"

"Could it be that we've encountered a wall of deception?" Eevee's expression turned serious.

This situation is common in many places in rural areas.

Walking on the street felt like being in a maze; I kept going around in circles and couldn't find my way out.

Such situations can also occur in certain mountainous forests!

"Old Xie, you guys make some marks, and we'll try again!" Chen Huo said.

"Okay!" Old Xie and Ibu immediately found a few big trees, left their marks, and continued walking forward.

as predicted.

Less than half an hour later, everyone returned to the starting point.

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What should we do?"

"Don't worry, this isn't anything unusual!" Ibu wasn't too nervous. "I've encountered this before. Usually, in places with heavy yin energy, it can cause loss of sensory perception and disorientation!"

As he spoke, he looked at Old Xie's male apprentice and grinned, "Kid, you should still be a virgin, right?"

"Try it by peeing!"

"I..." The young man's face flushed red, and he became somewhat embarrassed.

"Hey, it's not like I'm asking you to do anything, hurry up!" Ibu urged.

The young man had no choice but to turn his back and loosen his belt.

But it didn't work!

"There are many kinds of 'trick walls,' some are caused by heavy yin energy, and some by the geomagnetic field!" Chen Huo said. "We are all martial artists, and our senses are far stronger than ordinary people. We won't be easily fooled!"

"It's probably related to the Earth's magnetic field!"

"Then how do we break this?" All eyes turned to him.

"I'll go up and take a look!" Chen Huo leaped up a towering ancient tree and climbed directly to the top of the canopy.

As far as the eye could see, besides the dense jungle, there was only a thick cloud of poison.

It greatly obstructs the view.

He tried to quickly move in several directions, but still couldn't get out.

"It's not working?"

Upon seeing this, both Ibrahimovic and Old Xie's expressions darkened.

A somber and tense atmosphere permeated the air.

If they can't get out, they might all be trapped here and die, turning into skeletons, unknown to anyone.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have come!"

"Yes, first it was the crested snake, and now it's stuck in the same place, not even catching a glimpse of the treasure!"

"The Demon Cave Forest truly resembles a man-eating beast..."

Some people with weak willpower begin to lose their composure.

"Everyone, calm down and think of a way. We'll definitely get out of here!" Chen Huo reassured them for a few moments, then began discussing the situation with Yibu, Lao Xie, Murong Bingyun, and Xian Yu.

However, an effective solution has yet to be found.

As time went on, the tense atmosphere began to intensify.

Some people are already losing their patience.

"Damn it, what kind of place is this? I'll cut down all these trees and see if you can still hold me back!"

Immediately, two men resembling swordsmen appeared, wielding large swords and chopping down trees.

The others followed suit.

Some, however, remained unconvinced and continued to explore the path.

Once you find a stream, follow that direction.

Some even simply sat on the ground and gave up.

I spent a whole day trying, but to no avail.

"This can't go on!" Chen Huo frowned. "Xian Yu, you are the Holy Maiden of Miao Territory, you should know the most about the Demon Cave Forest! Think carefully again, have you heard of or seen anything about the Demon Cave Forest?"

"I... let me think!" Xian Yu lowered her head and paced back and forth.
