"Xixi went into the Hopeless Abyss."
"Yes, we were attacked by Demon Beasts and Mutant Beasts in the Hopeless Abyss. That's when we got separated from Xixi. Plus, we've just been walking in circles here, completely unable to find a way out."
A faint, cold light glinted in Sunxiao's serpentine eyes.
"You've entered the Dream Forest. Some trees in the Hopeless Abyss have absorbed the power of dark keystones over the years, giving birth to malevolent spirits. When beastmen get close, the trees release a white mist to create illusions, using the confusion as a chance to kill."
The moment he finished speaking, Sunxiao's long tail lashed out, viciously striking the tallest of the towering trees.
The massive tree snapped in two, letting out a piercing shriek.
Qiao Ang and Qiao Qiao had never seen a sentient tree before. They fearfully clutched their father's fur.
Sensing his cubs' anxiety, Feiyan gently swept his long tail over them in a comforting gesture.
