"What's going on?"
Chu Qingyun used his Primordial Power to forcefully rein in his spooked horse. Frowning, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Dismount. The horses can't go any further."
"An animal's sense of smell is far more sensitive than a human's. This is likely the territory of a Demon Beast. The scent is scaring them, so ordinary horses won't dare to go any further."
You Yun dismounted as she spoke. Her horse immediately turned and galloped out of the forest.
Chu Qingyun did the same. The two abandoned their horses and headed deeper into the forest on foot.
At the forest's edge, the trees were still quite sparse. But as they ventured deeper, the woods grew dense, and massive trees began to appear.
The path soon disappeared, forcing Chu Qingyun and You Yun to feel their way forward through the trees. The ground was covered in slippery moss, making for treacherous footing.
