Chapter 29: Illusory Heart Forest

  The lush and quiet mountains, under the radiant sunlight, were exuding vibrant vitality. In the distance, birds chirped happily as they soared through the sky.

  The Abdominal Black Eldest Miss (Mysterious Life) slowly opened her eyes at the entrance of the cave, gazing up at the familiar sky with a relieved smile on her face. She knew that this ordeal was finally over.

  With a tired body, he struggled to sit up, then looked at himself and revealed a wry smile.

  "This cold wind cave is really troublesome." That terrible cold wind later became bigger and bigger, even this sturdy body couldn't withstand it. If not for relying on a strong will, I might have already been lying in the cave unable to come out.

  Looking up at the sun that was about to set in the west, a hint of concern appeared on his face. "Looks like I've been unconscious for quite some time!"

  He steeled himself and got up, looked ahead, and trudged forward with a heavy body.

  The dense forest was still here, the gentle breeze carried a faint fragrance that blew on my face, I took a deep breath of fresh air, and my tired body gradually improved, and then Cheng's heart moved suddenly.

  "The air here seems much thicker than before, let's take a look..."

  He immediately activated the "Tempering Muscle and Bone Technique", which startled him, only to see a dense flow of energy several times thicker than in Kunshan City pouring into every part of his body. Then he heard the bones in his body crackling loudly, and the injuries he had suffered were rapidly recovering.

  He then sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to cultivation. Only to see a large flow of gas drilling into the body, rushing around inside, repairing the flesh after going to the bones and internal organs.

  A gentle breeze blew, and the slightly disheveled hair danced in the wind. Si Cheng also slowly opened his eyes, feeling a surge of energy throughout his body, with a happy smile on his face. This time was quite a harvest, as just now, he had entered the seventh layer of the middle realm, which was only a few days after his last breakthrough.

  "It seems that cultivating in this mountain is much faster than outside, I don't know if it will be even faster on Mount Kunlun." At this time, Si Cheng began to yearn for Mount Kunlun.

  Your Highness, don't run away: Lolita wants a revolution)

  As the injury recovers, Si Cheng also quickens his pace, because there is still a pass in front of him. Although he doesn't know what kind of pass it is, seeing that the second pass is so difficult, the third pass can be imagined to be not easy either.

  As the sun in the sky gradually sets to the west, Si Cheng is getting closer and closer to the third pass. About an hour later, a forest appeared in front of him, but this forest was extremely dense, blocking his line of sight completely.

  On one side of the forest, there is a large ancient tree that can barely be hugged by at least ten people. The top of the big tree goes straight into the clouds and cannot see how high it is. Most importantly, on the root of the big tree, three big characters are engraved: "Fantasy Heart Forest".

  Seeing these three big characters, Si Cheng felt a strange sensation. "Is the third pass really here? But this is a forest, could there be any danger?"

  He cautiously stretched out his hands to see if he could see what was ahead by parting the branches, but when his hand was about to touch the branch, there was a strange feeling of nothingness.

  "This can't be right, at such a close distance, I should be able to touch the branches, but it looks like there's nothing in front of me."

  Sai Cheng scratched his head, showing that he didn't understand, and stood there staring blankly at the forest in front of him.

  "Whether it's good fortune or bad luck, misfortune can't be avoided. I'll stake everything on the Witch Girl's Notes."

  He took another step forward and suddenly disappeared from view.

  When Zhai Cheng walked in and looked ahead, his heart was filled with shock and astonishment. This...this can't be..."

  Looking at the familiar big mountain, the familiar red bamboo forest, this is Red Bamboo Village, especially that house on the south side, my parents and grandfather are all there, after more than a month of separation, more than a month of hard work, seeing the familiar hometown again, my eyes gradually became moist.

  After a long time, Sicong calmed down his excited mood and rushed towards home.

  As he approached a place not far from the village, Si Cheng felt something was off, and a strong smell of blood wafted towards him.

  "How can there be such a heavy bloody smell in the village?" Then panicked and hurriedly quickened his pace.

  "Huh?"

  Lying in front of him was a person covered in blood. As Si Cheng walked over to take a look, he only then realized that it was one of the elders from his family. When he was younger, this elder would often come find him to play, but now he lay on the ground, already having stopped breathing.

  "What exactly happened?" Si Cheng's face suddenly turned completely dark. Then, he rushed home at the fastest speed.

  The more people lay on the ground, the more I saw familiar figures from next door: Liu Shu, with whom I used to play, Si Fan, San Ye Ye, Si Tai, and Si Qing. A chill ran down my spine as I gazed at these lifeless bodies, covered in blood, their eyes frozen open. What had happened before they died?

  Looking at the Hongzhu Village that had turned into a hell of starving ghosts, Si Cheng couldn't imagine the tragic outcome of seeing his parents meet with misfortune. However, Si Cheng had already realized that now the entire Hongzhu Village might not have a single living soul left. With a thread of lucky psychology, Si Cheng still slowly walked towards home.

  Arriving at the familiar gate of the Si family, there used to be two guards here, but now it's a completely different scene. He lightly pushed open the heavy door, but inside, there wasn't a single person in sight. Si Cheng's heart skipped a beat with excitement as he hastily walked in, coming to his own home, only to find that it was still empty and devoid of anyone.

  "What's going on? Even if he's dead, there should be a body." With a growing sense of unease, she began searching the manor.

  Hall, kitchen, room, walked through one by one, but it was so quiet, not a single sound, not a single breath of life, felt like arriving at the underworld. Si Cheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, this strange thing had truly exceeded his imagination.

  "Right, Red Bamboo Forest, let's go see if Qing Shi is still there." Then he rushed out of the gate and ran towards the south.

  Arriving at the side of the red bamboo forest, that huge and solid bluestone was split into four or five pieces, with a hint of dust scattered all over the lawn.

  Watching this scene, Si Cheng's suppressed anger finally burst out thoroughly, and the tears that had been held back for a long time also flowed uncontrollably.

  "Senior Qing Shi..."

  "Dad, mom, grandpa..."

  Si Cheng shouted loudly in front of the red bamboo forest, his voice echoing through the air, but there was still no response from the surroundings.

  Sitting on the ground with a thud, I felt my whole body go limp, even more powerless than when I was in that cold wind cave. Looking at the scattered pieces of bluestone all over the ground, thinking of the faces of loved ones from before, a mouthful of blood spurted out mixed with scalding hot tears, flowing slowly together.

  Slowly, the surroundings became quiet without a single sound, and not even an insect was seen on the ground. Si Cheng's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was very unusual here.

  "I should have been participating in the Kunlun Sect's trial and entered that Illusory Heart Forest just now." Si Cheng's heart moved.

  "Is this an illusion? I recall Qing Shi saying that the Red Bamboo Forest also has illusions, and those who lose their way as soon as they enter are victims of these illusions. Is everything here fake?"
