The Gloomy Forest

"Look!" Lin Xiao's excited voice startled the depressed group and they raised their heads and looked ahead to where he was pointing. The time spent in this sandy landscape was truly dreadful, and during the last couple of hours, a strong wind had been blowing, causing a sandstorm to increase the troubles they faced in their advance.

"That's a forest. Look, it is so different. It is as if this sandy area and the forest are two completely different worlds, not to mention that the border between the two areas is so distinct and clear that it seems fake."

The rest of the group had noticed the phenomenon that he was talking about. In front of them was the border between the sandy areas and a strange forest unlike any they had ever seen before. The forest was, as any others, dominated by trees, but these trees were all crooked and their bark was covered in grime.
