A continuous rustling sound could be heard. Wei Qianyi led his team onwards. He looked up and saw that the it would be dark very soon. He could not help but think of what Lu Shu told him: The forest at night is different from in the daytime.

He regarded the trees around him and laughed quietly at himself. How could he have kept the words of that unreliable fella in his mind, these trees were obviously very normal.

Half an hour had now past from when they had left the forest clearing. The night would be coming soon.

“Ahhh!” A girl suddenly screamed.

Wei Qianyi whipped his head around and looked to the back of the group. “What happened!”

The girl who screamed pointed at the roots of a tree under the watchful eyes of all the classmates and quaked in fear, “There are animal bones there!”

Wei Qianyi went over to take a look, and said calmly, “Don’t worry, they are just the bones of dead animals. They won’t get up to attack us.”

However, he realized his words were almost useless. The anxious ones were still anxious. Wei Qianyi rubbed his brows. Didn’t Lu Shu say that there is something wrong with the animal bones too?

All of a sudden, all the lights went out in an instant, as if someone had flicked a switch.

Wei Qianyi was just about to tell everyone to take out their torchlight when suddenly the trees lighted up the moment everything went dark.

“Woah!” Some of the girls were clearly moved by the scenery before them. “It’s so beautiful, as if we are among the stars!”

However, Wei Qianyi was not a little girl fascinated by pretty things. The moment the leaves lighted up, he already felt that something was very wrong. Would a normal leaf do this? No!

This is the remains, not some Botanical World Exposition!

“Careful!” Wei Qianyi roared in anger. It proved that he was indeed a genius with extra fast reflexes. Sadly, compared to Lu Shu, he was merely being reactive whereas Lu Shu was proactive.

Wei Qianyi had just shouted careful when a boy asked curiously, “What is this?”

This boy looked up at a branch that had already drooped down. All of a sudden, the branch, seemingly alive, started to wrap around the boy’s torso. The ends of the branch also transformed into thorns and pierced into his leg!

“Ahh! Help me!”

Wei Qianyi leapt forward and used his standard longsword to severe the branch. The tree went berserk and extended its branches towards them, just like a monster in a movie!

Who would have expected such dangers to be hiding in such captivating beauty!

Wei Qianyi pulled everyone back, but before they had retreated two steps, another classmate was entwined by the branches. Wei Qianyi suddenly felt exhausted from running around.

“If anyone is caught by the branches, you must immediately try to break free yourself! I have a feeling these branches aren’t that sturdy. We are all practitioners!” Wei Qianyi reminded them.

Upon hearing that, the classmate who was caught in the branches immediately tried to break free. He discovered that, with their Class E powers, they could indeed break the branches. As long as they guard against the sharp thorns at the end of the branches, they would be safe!

However…there were simply too many trees!

In the afternoon, when Lu Shu was standing atop the tree, everyone asked what did he see. Lu Shu answered, “So many trees.”

At that time, everyone thought him a fool. What’s the big deal about trees.

Now, when they thought back at what Lu Shu said, they were struck by intense fear. So true, all the mountains were covered with trees, where could they escape to?!

Countless branches started attacking. Wei Qianyi ran around saving the classmates, and they too started to fight for their dear lives. After all, nobody wanted to die.

The problem is, there were simply too many. Even though not all trees were transformed into dangerous monsters, it still did not leave them with any time to catch their breaths.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps and panting could be heard in the forest. Through the woods, Wei Qianyi could only hear but not see well what was going on.

All of a sudden, someone from the other side shouted, “Don’t stay and fight with these weird trees, try to break out quickly!”

Wei Qianyi and the other 11 with him felt rejuvenated. “Our team mates! They are from the Heavenly Network too! Let’s go find them!”

The feeling to be able to meet someone you know when in mortal peril was absolutely great. It was just like seeing a boat coming towards you when drowning, we are soon to be rescued!

Wei Qianyi led the group in running towards the voice, “People in front! We are here, let’s gather!”

While running, Wei had to also take care of the countless branches along the way. If not for his longsword, it would be near impossible to advance an inch in this forest.

The standard longsword given by the Heavenly Network, imbued with magical energy, could truly be called a magical weapon.

The people in front were also elated to hear their shouting, “Come save us quick!”

Wei Qianyi’s heart sank upon hearing this. What he thought was a lifeboat turned out to be yet another drowning person…

However, now was not the time to think too much. Both parties started to go towards each other with great effort. Wei Qianyi was the first to see them: a standard longsword-wielding form teacher leading his seven students. They were in a sorry state.

One must know that a form teacher in the Heavenly Network was at most at the Class D level. In fact, some may even be Class E. To be honest, except for a slightly greater fighting experience, they were hardly any more powerful than Wei Qianyi.

Wei Qianyi asked urgently, “Teacher, are there any ways for us to deal with these trees?”

The teacher also heaved a small sigh of relief upon seeing Wei Qianyi. The two groups gathered close and formed a protective circle against the trees outside.

Furrowing his brows, the form teacher said, “Let’s find an open area to get away from these trees. Once it’s daytime, we will be fine. We went past a clearing just now, but there were too many wild animals there. We had no way of staying! Do you know of any other open areas?”

Once his words were out, everyone on Wei Qianyi’s side gave a shocked expression. Of course, they would know where can they find a clearing, but…they had given up on it themselves!

Now, what Lu Shu predicted had come true. The once-innocent looking trees had become the most dangerous beings of the forest. Why did they not listen when Lu Shu advised them to stay out in the open area?!

The form teacher was momentarily stunned, “Why this expression, what happened?!”

Wei Qianyi took a deep breath, “I know where to find an open area. Also, we have someone staying there. It’s about half an hour’s walk. We were walking slowly when we came here.”

The form teacher was elated, “What are we waiting for! We should use all our effort to break through and first rest and reorganize over the night in the clearing!”

Lu Shu was chasing the wild animals around, reaping their distress points, when suddenly in came a large sum of distress points from Wei Qianyi and his group. Lu Shu was momentarily stunned. Are they thinking of him now that danger has struck…?
