The marks of artificial forest clearing are evident—the stumps left behind after the trees were cut down.
These stumps are distributed around the edges of the forest, roughly numbering at least dozens upon a quick glance.
This is evidence of habitation nearby!

At the forest edge, not only did the vegetation become sparse, but the plants also appeared much smaller in size.
Chen Yan was shivering from the cold, his breath coming out in white puffs, indicating that the temperature here was perceptibly cold.
As he stepped out of the forest, the first thing Chen Yan saw was a long strip reflecting light on the ground ahead.
As he approached, he could see it clearly.
It was a small river, roughly four to five meters wide—perhaps it could be considered a creek.
