The Sacred Grove (II)

Chapter 269

The sound of the footsteps crushing the fallen leaves echoed as the three figures walked deeper into the forest.

Everything around them was still and silent, as though where they were walking in was not a forest but an empty room.

Cheng Xiu frowned. She knew that the creatures of the Sacred Grove were monsters but was silence a normal thing in the instance.

She looked towards Chu Ying and found her expression to be vigilant.

It made her realise that the silence was a sign.

A sign of an oncoming attack.

There was a rushing sound in the silence from their right.

The three players split and jumped away.

A ball of purple goo brushed past her hair. The area that it touched turned to ashes.

Cheng Xiu was familiar with this effect.

Poison. More specifically, Hell's Poison.
