"Well, that's good..."
Colin nodded. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
There really seems to be nothing wrong around here.
He looked back and, as expected, the white fog had completely disappeared.
After taking a deep breath, Colin looked again at the light hidden behind the mountains and illuminating half of the sky.
[There are many ways to get there, but except for the one you are taking, the other paths are either too far away or may hide insurmountable obstacles.]
“Let’s get started.”
Colin withdrew his gaze, holding a lantern, and led the team forward step by step.
At this time, they were walking on a relatively flat ground, and everywhere they could see luminous stones of various sizes emitting a hazy glow.
The surroundings were dark and deep, filled with withered trees. The particularly thick branches stretched outward, but they were bare and looked hideous and weird, without covering anything.
The ground under my feet is covered with rotten leaves that have accumulated over the years. It feels soft and makes a rustling sound when I step on it.
The road is long.
Longer than Colin thought.
Nearly an hour passed, and they were still walking in the woods, occasionally seeing damaged houses from some hills.
However, this is what you see through the prompt, and the naked eye cannot see that far.
But even though he saw it, Colin had no intention of going over to find out what was going on.
The only thing that was certain now was that they were moving and did not encounter the same problem as in the olive grove.
"Give us some aberrations to fight."
An ominous silence enveloped the entire area, and after walking for nearly two hours without seeing anything unusual, Colin actually thought about encountering some deformed creatures.
It is best to kill a few ordinary aberrations to adjust the team's atmosphere.
But alas, there is nothing here.
Nearly another hour passed. Although everyone remained vigilant, voices could occasionally be heard from the team to relieve the boredom and uneasiness in their hearts.
In this environment, they actually started chatting about family matters, talking about the past, and their little hobbies.
Of course, this was also Colin's instruction. If I didn't chat, I would probably suffocate myself to death.
Dead silence and peace.
The sky was still dark and empty. After walking forward for more than three hours, Colin found that he and his companions had finally walked out of the forest.
Instead, we walked onto a wide dirt road with trees on both sides.
The corridor between the trees was dark and quiet, and the ground was still mostly covered by fallen leaves, looking very messy.
However, through these dead branches and leaves, there seem to be quite a few traces on the dirt road.
[You are curious about those traces. You observe and find that they seem to include traces of horses and carriages, humans, beasts, etc. left after movement...]
[In front of us, perhaps there is a town from ancient times. ]
[There should be a lot of history from the old times preserved there, and nothing too dangerous.]
Colin cleared the reminder from his mind.
He already knew there was a town ahead, and he also knew there was no danger there...
