Chapter 437: Chapter 437: The Tranquil Forest
Baiyu looked at this scene with surprise.
Based on past experiences, the entrance to the Dream Battlefield, which is this coffin-shaped thing, has never actively absorbed items.
At the very beginning.
When he entered the Dream Battlefield, he still needed to pay points.
This is the hard currency in the scholar space, and it could even directly increase his Blood Qi and Spiritual Value.
Even Baiyu.
Currently doesn’t have many points at hand.
But ever since the Dream Battlefield absorbed the Lament of the Giant King’s Court last time, he could enter directly.
Of course.
It’s to a specific place.
Baiyu also figured out that the Dream Battlefield connects to the Dream Realm, and through specific items, he can go to some special places in the Dream Realm and can come and go repeatedly.
Like now.
Baiyu can enter the Giant King’s Court at any time.
But he only dares to act within the court, for outside the Giant King’s Court, the air has boundless gale winds, and any spirit body entering the Dream Realm could easily get shredded.
However.
At this moment, the entire coffin glowed with a red light, and its portal flung open.
Baiyu hesitated for a moment.
The orb seemed to be associated with the Encompassing God.
Where would the coffin, having swallowed the orb, take him in the Dream Realm?
"Anyway, entering the Dream Realm is as a spirit body, so even if something happens, at most his spirit will be languid for a while."
Baiyu thought for a moment and made up his mind.
Quickly.
He prepared briefly and then directly lay into the coffin.
A drowsy feeling attacked his mind.
When Baiyu opened his eyes again, the sky had already turned dark and the air was filled with countless floating light dots.
They looked like some kind of phosphorescent insect or glowing spores from some plants.
Surrounding him was deep and dense forest.
In the distance, the sound of a stream murmured, passing through the woods, making one feel at ease.
Silence and profoundness.
This is the first impression the entire jungle gives you.
Baiyu cautiously took a few steps forward; there were no anomalies or any movement.
The forest seemed not dangerous.
"Silent Forest?"
Baiyu looked at an ancient stone tablet nearby; it was inscribed with these few mottled small characters in Mystical Language.
This too was a special location within the Dream Realm.
"It seems pretty safe here."
Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Anselin mentioned that many places in the Dream Realm are extremely dangerous, not easily accessible to ordinary people.
It seems that this place does not share that trait.
Thinking so.
He entered the small path in the forest.
Then suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his mind, and his entire spirit body was instantly killed.
When Baiyu came back to his senses, he was already back at the starting point.
In that instant.
His spirit body was struck down by a strange force!
Without any response or feeling.
Baiyu narrowed his eyes, looking at the deep, dense forest, and once again stepped out.
Half a minute later.
With the rise of the stabbing pain in his mind, he reappeared at the starting position.
Unable to step in.
Not even knowing what killed him, Baiyu observed the stone tablet for a while and finally found another line of text written in Mystical Language below.
"It was born when the forest first devoured blood, and only a path paved with blood can enter its homeland."
A cryptic statement, difficult to extract concrete information from.
Baiyu was long accustomed to this ambiguous mode of speech.
Almost every record about the Evil God he encountered was like this.
But this was understandable too.
Many Evil Gods would direct their gaze upon hearing their names or some special phrases.
Just like last time with Shangguan Zi’s pregnancy.
She merely uttered a few phrases related to the Incubation’s Reversal Egg, and she ended up being pregnant.
Luckily, Baiyu manually performed a "miscarriage" for her.
Otherwise.
Who knows what she would have given birth to.
So when dealing with records about deities, exercising caution is a tacit rule among all mystic scholars.
Then.
This also led to.
The leftover information and records about deities now being ambiguous, sometimes even unintelligible.
Baiyu contemplated this line of text.
"A road paved with blood..."
The key point of the whole phrase lay here.
If he wanted to enter this forest, he must have a road paved with blood.
"Let’s give it a try."
Baiyu thought for a while, then suddenly drew a line across the palm of his right hand with his left hand, revealing a bloody opening.
Drip, drip.
Blood flowed from his palm, falling onto the shaded path leading deeper into the forest.
Baiyu walked forward step by step.
With each step, blood dripped at his feet, thus creating a long bloodline.
This time, he walked a considerable distance.
And the scenery on both sides of the shaded path also changed continuously as he moved forward.
From the initial lush green, to turning a deep yellow, and then withering.
At last, every tree around was covered with withered branches, and the sky was dim, as if light never existed here.
Except for those glowing spores in the air, there was no light source in the forest.
No.
To be precise, these spores were not emitting light either.
They seemed to be a special kind of extraordinary creature, allowing one to see the surrounding environment, but they did not provide light.
The entire Silent Forest.
Was like this — dark and desolate.
Baiyu continued forward, passing through the dark winding paths, traversing trees stretching their twisted branches.
Finally.
Not knowing how long he had traveled, the path before him abruptly ended.
At the end of the path.
Was a lightless well.
The well’s water was clear and full of vitality.
Inside were those luminous spores flying in the air, tumbling within.
Baiyu suddenly felt inexplicably parched.
Even though he was now in a spirit body state.
"Something’s not right, there’s an issue here."
Baiyu sensitively took two steps back.
But behind him was already boundless darkness.
Helpless.
He could only continue forward and was ready to sacrifice at any time.
In the Dream Realm, he could resurrect infinitely.
As long as his spirit could bear it, there would be no danger of injury.
This was his confidence in venturing into dangerous places.
Arriving at the well.
The entire well was filled with green murky water, almost overflowing.
Although there was no light.
Baiyu could vaguely see the surroundings.
Next to the well.
Was a small stone table.
Baiyu walked over.
The stone table was covered with numerous complex symbols, depicting the sun, moon, and stars, and together with other symbols, formed an intricate design.
Although his knowledge of Mysticism wasn’t profound.
Upon seeing this image, some information instinctively appeared in his mind.
"Traveler, exchange the storm hidden within your heart for all the secrets you desire..."
This was a Spiritual Technique Array for exchange.
Moreover.
At a very high level.
