The moonlight was cold, a faint mist swirled about, poisonous weeds ran wild, and grotesque trees stood in dense groves. The peaks of the forest resembled crouching beasts...
The Poisonous Mist Peak Forest on this moonlit night exuded a cold, sinister aura, and shrill cries echoed without end.
Jiang Jichen and his companions had been walking for most of the night. Although they hadn't encountered any real danger, a sense of unease grew in their hearts, as if some vicious presence was constantly watching them from the dark corners of the forest.
Following the map, Jiang Jichen soon discovered a mountain pass. This was the path that led into the deepest part of the Poisonous Mist Peak Forest.
This mountain pass was the only way through this entire region. All other routes were cut off by intersecting peaks and shrouded in a dense, poisonous mist, making them utterly impassable. Anyone who wanted to cross this area had no choice but to pass through this single entrance.
