Without a lamp, relying solely on the naked eye, you would definitely stumble at every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was much less snow around here, the temperature was even colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yun Ran’s mind, somehow she recalled a news story she’d seen before, where people had suffered hypothermia and died in similar places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further she walked, the stronger the stench of decay became, and the trees around grew more bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was building up to this point, and Yun Ran adjusted her clothes, seemingly feeling genuinely cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Little Paperman carried the flashlight while leading the way; the surrounding silence was terrifying, with not a hint of bird chirping or insect buzzing, only the sound of their footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This overly quiet environment made Yun Ran, who couldn’t adapt to such silence, unable to resist the urge to make some noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These trees have been thoroughly infused with Death Energy, growing in strange shapes. The decaying stench is released from their bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Chu naturally didn’t know Yun Ran was uncomfortable with such quiet and thought she was speaking seriously with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded immediately: \"These trees are beyond saving; now they’re just relying on that Death Energy to barely hang on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Xuan Chu’s mouth seemed glued shut, resolutely refusing to speak another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene became cold and silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran once more felt Heavenly Dao Village was indeed somewhat backward, unable to keep up with modern education, turning a good genius into a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran’s disdainful gaze was so strong that Xuan Chu couldn’t ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then proactively said, \"Why are you looking at me like that?
