Shen Luo and Fu Donglai walked seven or eight miles out of the city. A dense forest appeared in front of them. Behind the forest, there were mountains with gradually undulating terrain.
"Brother Shen, what happened in the city at that time?" Fu Donglai asked puzzledly.
"That tiny little town, obviously..." Shen Luo stopped talking halfway through his sentence.
Fu Donglai waited for a long time, but Shen Luo didn't continue speaking. When he turned around, he found that Shen Luo was studying the map he bought from the little boy.
"You don't really want to follow this map?" Fu Donglai asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo raised his head and looked towards the back of the forest. He saw towering mountains standing in the distance, but they were shrouded in layers of clouds, making them look a little blurry and mysterious.
"Although this map is drawn sloppily, the approximate directions are correct. You can give it a try." Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Forget it... It's up to you. What do you think about what I asked you just now?" Fu Donglai scratched the back of his head helplessly and spoke.
"Brother Fu, you should have also discovered that a large number of cultivators have gathered in that tiny town. This is obviously not normal." Shen Luo said.
"Yes, there were quite a few people secretly observing us before, and it seems that their cultivation levels were not very high. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are masters with higher cultivation levels that we have not been able to discover." Fu Donglai said.
"That's right. But I saw that they seemed to be looking at each other secretly. They didn't look like a group of people. This is a bit strange." Shen Luo nodded.
"That's nothing, at least it means they are not coming for us. You said... if they are not coming for us, then could they be coming for Fangcun Mountain?" Fu Donglai thought for a moment and said.
"We can't rule out this possibility... But it doesn't matter. Fang Cun Mountain is very powerful. Even if they are coming for them, I don't think it will cause any big waves." Shen Luo said after pondering for a moment.
But after a pause, he couldn't help rubbing his bitter cheeks and said helplessly: "Why is there trouble wherever we go?"
"It seems to be true..." Fu Donglai sighed and said.
"Never mind. No matter what trouble this time, we won't get involved. We will leave immediately after achieving our goal." Shen Luo put down his hands, as if he had set a rule for himself.
Fu Donglai heard this and smiled without saying anything.
"Let's go and continue our journey." Shen Luo waved his hand and followed the scribbled map, heading into the forest.
…
When the two first entered the forest, they did not notice anything wrong, but as they went deeper, fog gradually spread in the surrounding forest.
After Shen Luo released his spiritual sense to investigate, he indeed discovered something unusual.
It's not that it's completely impossible to detect, but there is a faint force in the fog that will pull people's consciousness to deviate, causing people to gradually go in the wrong direction unconsciously.
"Brother Shen, I see there is no fog above the forest. We may be able to fly in the air and go straight to Fangcun Mountain." Fu Donglai pointed to the sky above and said.
"There is no problem flying over this forest, but I'm afraid that once we get close to Fangcun Mountain, we will be regarded as someone who deliberately broke into the mountain and will be attacked indiscriminately by the mountain protection formation. Then the gain will outweigh the loss." Shen Luo said.
