Abnormal

Standing outside the forest, Heath looked at the dense ice sculptures in the forest. These ice sculptures were hollow. Judging from the remaining spiritual power on them, they should have been real people not long ago.

It was likely that the Apprentices who had entered the forest had encountered some kind of accident and were all frozen into ice sculptures. Then, they triggered the protection mechanism on the scroll and were sent out, leaving behind ice sculptures here.

What did it do?

To be able to freeze a person into an ice sculpture in an instant, it had to be at least at the level of a Wizard. However, Heath did not find any material of this level in the surroundings.

Was it in the forest?

Upon closer inspection, the forest in front of him was indeed somewhat unusual. The trees growing in the forest were much more sparse than the surrounding trees, and all of them were Snowflake Trees.
