In this way, the three of us slowly walked towards the forest.
However, along the way, I was still observing the surrounding environment, trying to see if there was any danger.
But it seemed to me that everything was very ordinary, and there was no strange movement at all.
At this time, I was relieved and didn't have as much fear as before.
It didn't take long for them to reach the edge of the forest, but a figure vaguely appeared in front of them. It seemed that he was an old man in his eighties.
My eyesight is relatively good, so looking from a distance, I can clearly see him sitting cross-legged on the ground, motionless, like a sculpture.
I explained what I saw to them, but Chen Qinghua disagreed, thinking that an old man could not do anything to us.
But Chen Yu realized that things were not that simple, and I also felt that this might be the natural protector.
After all, I have no idea what these three protectors look like.
So now I can only blindly guess. If I am not wrong, there is a high probability that I am.
Chen Qinghua swaggered forward to see him, and he looked fearless.
And I was following him closely. As I was walking, the old man suddenly stood up and slowly turned around.
His appearance can be said to be ordinary, with nothing conspicuous about him.
And I didn't notice any aura fluctuations in his body. He completely gave me the feeling of an ordinary person.
But how could an ordinary person sit in this deep mountain and forest for a whole day without moving at all?
The corners of my mouth raised slightly, revealing a strange smile, and I stood quietly staring at Chen Qinghua.
I really want to see what kind of moves this guy can do.
"The front is a forbidden area, please leave now."
The old man's tone was very gloomy, like a mechanical voice.
Seeing that no one responded, he repeated these words again, as if he wanted to drive away the foreign intruders.
But Chen Qinghua didn't care, he stepped forward with a smile and got close to her.
Did I originally think that the guards at the first level could be passed so easily? But he didn't expect that Chen Qinghua would pull out a yellow talisman from nowhere and stick it on the old man's forehead.
"You guys run, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't worry about me, I will come find you after I finish dealing with this guy."
He suddenly raised his head and exclaimed towards the two of us. Hearing this, I didn't hesitate at all, took steps and ran forward.
Chen Yu also followed closely behind me. For a while, I could only hear the strong wind whistling by my ears, and I lost much consciousness.
I don’t know how long I ran, but I suddenly felt that the surroundings became very stuffy, giving me a feeling that I was about to be ignited, and at the same time I stopped my body.
I casually touched my clothes and found that they were indeed wet with sweat.
This feeling is very uncomfortable and gives me a sticky feeling.
Even Chen Yu wasn't much better. He kept fanning himself with both hands and murmured to himself while looking around.
"What the hell is this place? Why is it so hot? It's such a steamer."
His tone also revealed a hint of dissatisfaction, but I realized that things were not that simple.
Next, we should face the second protector, the flame protector.
I looked back and found that Chen Qinghua had not followed, and was still staying where he was.
Seeing this scene also made me frown tightly, and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
I always felt that this first level was a bit too easy, as if they had already colluded and let us go so abruptly.
Time kept passing by, but I still didn't see Chen Qinghua. At this moment, Chen Yu patted me on the shoulder and expressed his thoughts.
"I think this guy may have encountered some danger, or maybe this is all a trap for him. Just walk over and don't wait for him."
"He himself has said that he must find the Tongtian Palace before dark, otherwise he will never get out. Do you think there is a possibility that he has been deliberately wasting time with us?"
My brows knitted together tightly, thinking carefully about what he said, but An Bingyu's words came back to my mind.
Chen Yu can't be trusted.
Thinking of this makes me even more desperate. Who should I believe now?
But now that the time is imminent, I nodded and agreed to his request. Otherwise, if I still haven't found it by nightfall, wouldn't Tongtian Palace really be unable to escape from here?
The two of us walked slowly forward, groping our way through the forest, looking around from time to time, for fear that something might happen inexplicably.
But fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, which made my suspended heart gradually relax.
Just as the two of us were getting closer and closer, and were gradually walking out of this hot area, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the sky.
Then a fiery red figure appeared in front of me. He looked like he was in his early twenties, more like a young man, but his hair was fiery red and he was wearing a red dress.
The first time I saw him, I had a very strange feeling. Whose kind man wears clothes like this and dyes them such a red color?
But I recalled the second paragraph on the note.
Fire protector.
Red represents fire.
At this moment, I also suddenly realized that this was the flame protector.
"It's really interesting. A person who has no cultivation and recognizes a worm as an immortal dares to look for the Tongtian Palace. He really doesn't know how high the sky is."
"Although I don't know how that guy let you two in, but as long as I'm here, you can't even think about passing it."
The young man spoke in an extremely confident tone, and his eyes fell on me from time to time, as if he was sizing me up.
But when he looked at my abdomen, his brows knitted together, and his face showed a solemn look.
"Corpse Pill? How come this thousand-year corpse pill appears on your body?"
At this moment, his figure flashed past, appearing in front of me like a red afterimage. At the same time, he stretched out his palm and grabbed my arm.
