A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 153 Going deep into the misty forest

After a short rest, the group continued to move towards the depths of the misty forest. The thick fog was like thick ink that could not be dissolved, entwining around them, making it almost impossible to see the scenery one meter ahead. Every step they took was like stepping into an unknown abyss, and the uneasiness in their hearts became stronger and stronger.

"This fog is too weird, I can't see anything clearly." Wang Yue muttered, and his steps were a little hesitant. He frowned slightly, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he moved his feet carefully while waving his hands in front of him, trying to clear the thick fog.

Mo Yu frowned, his expression solemn, "Be careful, there may be other dangers in this fog." His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, constantly scanning the surroundings, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.

Lin Yao glanced around vigilantly, "Everyone, cheer up, we can't afford to stumble here." Her eyes were firm and calm, and her posture was upright, like a female warrior ready to fight at any time. The weapon in her hand flickered faintly in the mist.

I walked in the team, feeling worried. The battle with the monster just now made everyone a little tired, but we couldn't relax at all at this moment. There was a hint of anxiety in my eyes. I walked carefully while thinking about the situation I might encounter next.

Xiao Yan was still exploring the way ahead, making low noises from time to time, as if to remind everyone to pay attention. Its ears were erected, its eyes were looking ahead vigilantly, and every step it took was cautious, as if it could sense the danger hidden in the mist.

"I don't know how long it will take to find clues to the temple." Wang Yue sighed. His voice was full of fatigue and helplessness. He kicked the stones under his feet as he walked, looking a little irritated.

"Stop complaining. Now that you're here, be prepared." Lin Yao glared at him. There was a hint of reproach in her eyes, as if telling Wang Yue that now was not the time to complain.

As he was talking, a strange sound suddenly came from the fog ahead, which was so eerie that it seemed to come from a faraway place, but also seemed to be echoing in his ears, making him unpredictable.

"What's that sound?" Wang Yue stopped nervously. His body tensed up instantly, his eyes filled with fear, and his ears pressed tightly against the mist, trying to hear the source of the sound.

Mo Yu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and listen carefully. The sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was the breathing of some creature. The heavy and rhythmic breathing echoed in the mist, making people shudder.

"Is it another monster?" Wang Yue's voice trembled. His face turned pale, and the weapon in his hand trembled slightly, as if he had sensed the impending danger.

Lin Yao gripped her weapon tightly and said, "No matter what, get ready to fight." Her eyes were full of determination and her body leaned forward slightly, ready to fight at any time.

Everyone stared nervously at the direction where the sound came from, and saw a huge figure slowly walking out of the fog. This figure was even bigger than the previous monster, and looked like a huge tree man, with twisted branches and covered with strange patterns. The tree man was towering into the sky, and the huge branches were like thick pillars, twisting and stretching towards the sky. The bark was rough and old, and the patterns on it seemed to be the marks left by the years, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

"What the hell is this?" Wang Yue exclaimed. His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Mo Yu's eyes were solemn, "It seems that the danger in this misty forest is far beyond our imagination." He stared at the tree monster, gripped the weapon in his hand tighter, and secretly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

The tree-man-like monster moved slowly, and every step made the ground tremble slightly. It exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it was a guardian from ancient times.

"What should we do?" I asked in a low voice. My voice was full of nervousness and anxiety, and my eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.

Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's observe it first and find out its weaknesses." His eyes were firm and calm, staring at the tree monster closely, not missing any details.

The tree monster seemed to be aware of their presence, and the branches shook, making a rustling sound. The sound was like a strong wind sweeping through the forest, making people feel nervous.

"It seems to have discovered us." Lin Yao said. Her eyes were full of vigilance, and she held the weapon tightly in her hand, ready to deal with the attack of the tree monster at any time.

Wang Yue was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. "How about we run?" His voice was filled with fear and his body was shaking slightly, as if he had lost the courage to fight.

"It's too late." Mo Yu shook his head, "Prepare for battle." There was a hint of determination in his eyes, and he raised the weapon high in his hand, ready for battle.

The tree monster suddenly stretched out a branch, like a huge whip, and whipped at everyone. The branch cut through the air with great force, making a sharp whistling sound. Everyone hurriedly dodged, and the branch hit the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.

"That was a close call!" Wang Yue was still in shock. His face was pale, his eyes were filled with fear, and his body was shaking slightly.

Mo Yu took the opportunity to rush forward and swung his sword to chop at the branch. But the sword only left a shallow mark on the branch. The branch was as hard as iron, and the sword seemed to chop at stone.

"This thing is so hard." Mo Yu frowned. His eyes were full of doubts. He raised the sword in his hand again, looking for the weakness of the branch.

Lin Yao also rushed forward and smashed the tree monster's body with her weapon, but it also had little effect. Her face became serious, and a hint of anxiety was revealed in her eyes.

"It seems that ordinary attacks are useless against it." I said. My eyes were full of thought, trying to find an effective way to attack it.

The tree monster attacked again, branches falling like raindrops. Everyone dodged while thinking hard about how to deal with it...
