Because the environment is so dark and secluded, when people find themselves in the Black Bamboo Forest, they always have the illusion that someone is following them or watching them secretly from the shadows.
Duan Yun had ventured down there before, smelling the decay of bamboo leaves in the forest, and felt the atmosphere was off.
Indeed, the Black Bamboo Forest has mercilessly claimed many lives.
Even local people from Yu State, if they rashly enter the depths of the Black Bamboo Forest, may never come out again.
Those who don't come out add to the local ghost stories.
It is said that a child's grandfather once got lost in there, never to be seen again, neither alive nor dead.
Yet the child often ran into the bamboo forest, once going especially deep.
At dusk, the family noticed something unusual and rushed into the forest to search.
