"We should be out of the forest soon." Bai Rouyun's voice sounded gently among the rustling leaves as she led their group forward.

They had been traveling through the forest for a few days already, and fortunately their decision to head north seemed to be right.

Usually, forests such as this one were split into various zones with more challenging terrain and a higher density of beasts the closer to the center you got. Often, many would not manage to get to the deeper parts of the forests, and thus the danger would increase exponentially the further in one went.

However, after their group began heading north, they quickly found that the beasts they encountered were seemingly getting weaker and weaker, and none of them seemed to have any intellectual abilities and relied fully on their instincts to survive.
