Chapter 1285
Ning Chen was very dissatisfied with Lin Yi's action; just as he was about to reach out and pull Gu Yanqi to his side, someone else stopped Lin Yi.
Well, it shouldn't be called a person, but a beast.
Qiongqi spread its wings, suddenly charged between the two, and even used its claws to push Lin Yi backward.
Unprepared, Lin Yi was pushed backward and fell; fortunately, Huo Jinglin caught him from behind.
Qiongqi nestled comfortably in Gu Yanqi's arms, its mouth not idle either: "Although it is said that clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse, I feel that no matter how well one dresses, the foolishness in the head remains."
Lin Yi was not angry; even hearing the words of praise from Qiongqi's mouth, he leaned forward wanting Qiongqi to say more: "What did you just say? Did you compliment my handsomeness? Huo Jinglin, did you hear it? It complimented my handsomeness!"
Qiongqi flicked away the hand Lin Yi had placed on its claws; what kind of idiot was this?
Immediately, Qiongqi looked at Ning Chen, its eyes full of accusation, as if to say: Look, what kind of people have you brought along.
Receiving Qiongqi's accusation, Ning Chen simply turned around, returned to the driver's seat, and sat down, adopting the principle that out of sight is out of mind.
Next, they needed to leave this Mist Forest; Ning Chen started the vehicle and let Xiao Han lead the way.
Xiao Han extended his right hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together, curled the other fingers into a fist, then exerted force with his wrist, and the two fingers began to slide in the air.
Before long, a row of unfamiliar characters appeared in the air from top to bottom.
Then, with a wave of Xiao Han's hand, all the characters turned into black-purple butterflies.
They pierced through the RV's glass and flew straight out.
"Follow them."
This was the first time Ning Chen had seen Xiao Han use this ability, but he did not hesitate; he started the vehicle and followed those purple butterflies.
The entire forest was filled with white mist, but those purple butterflies emitted light in front, illuminating the surrounding road and dispelling the mist around them.
The vehicle drove for an hour straight; midway, Xiao Han released some more butterflies.
The original butterflies disappeared one by one into the air.
The entire Mist Forest was truly vast; to keep up with the butterflies, Ning Chen almost pressed the accelerator to the floor, speeding forward, yet even so, there was no change in the surroundings.
If he did not trust Xiao Han, Ning Chen would have thought they were just going in circles in place.
Night gradually approached, and Ning Chen had no intention of running at night.
After all, this world had no infected zombies or the like, nor any particularly urgent mission, so there was naturally no need to advance quickly.
In the Mist Forest at night, the mist overhead gradually dispersed; saying overhead, it was actually quite high up.
At least, Ning Chen saw that the surroundings were still misty, but looking up, he could see bright stars.
Ning Chen leaned against the RV, gazing at the sky, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
"Actually, most people who enter the Mist Forest travel at night, because at night the mist overhead disperses, allowing one to see the Zhao Xinghe in the sky," Xiao Han said calmly while also looking at the sky.
Ning Chen said nothing, simply gazing at the sky in silence.
"However, in reality, it is not like this; in the darkness, the entire Mist Forest is the most false and most terrifying time."
Hearing Xiao Han's words, Ning Chen turned his head to look at him, finding that although he was looking up at the sky, his eyes were not truly seeing.
At that moment, Ning Chen suddenly felt that the stars he saw looking up seemed somewhat strange.
He did not understand how they were strange, but they just felt odd and strange, as if those stars seemed a bit fake.
Ning Chen squinted slightly, and saw the Zhao Xinghe in the sky suddenly tremble.
He immediately used his ability to cover his entire spirit; he saw that the stars originally existing in the sky suddenly vanished and turned into layers of mist.
It was actually an illusion?!
Ning Chen was somewhat surprised; the mist ability in this Mist Forest was so strong that he had unknowingly entered an illusion.
"This is why I said that night is more terrifying than day; in this situation, people often think to rely on nature, but they do not know that everything is an illusion; the nature they think exists is guiding them deeper."
With the starry sky gone, Ning Chen naturally had no desire to look at the stars anymore.
The RV can block this kind of illusion, so the people inside naturally need not worry about themselves.
The night passed safely; except for Ning Chen experiencing the illusionary realm, the others slept extremely soundly.
Perhaps because they had left their original world, the tense strings relaxed, their sleep became even better, and they slept even more.
By the time they woke up, it was nearly noon; Ning Chen had already driven the vehicle following the butterflies outward.
The vehicle drove for three hours straight; the surrounding mist finally began to gradually disperse, and after passing two tall trees, the mist completely vanished.
Ning Chen stopped the car, then got out and looked at the place behind them.
With those two trees as the center, the surrounding ring of trees seemed like a barrier, isolating the mist inside; from here, one could only see a white expanse within.
Ning Chen quickly got back into the car; now they had one more thing to do: figure out where to go.
"First, let's go to Xiandu Town; that is the central town on the essential route of the Four Great Sects; we will first gather information," Xiao Han pointed to the map, where various place names and road routes had already appeared.
Ning Chen glanced at the map, then located Xiandu Town and directly engaged autonomous driving to head there.
Since there is autonomous driving, there is absolutely no need to drive oneself.
Ning Chen came to the sofa, and everyone gathered around.
"The place we are going next is called Xiandu Town; everyone can go down and stroll around later; try to listen to what others are saying; here is the money of this world; take some with you; buy whatever you want."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Lin Yi was the first to express excitement; although generally shopping is girls' interest, they could not resist that they had truly not shopped for a very long time.
Moreover, this was shopping in another world; this world looked like an ancient world; who knows if there are any little trinkets.
Lin Yi was already thinking of buying more things; after all, he had space ability, so no matter how much he bought, he was not afraid of not having room to store it.
"Brother Ning, how much is this one?" Lin Yi picked up a banknote and asked.
Ning Chen glanced at it and said nothing; Xiao Han beside him spoke up: "It can buy everything in the entire market."
Hearing Xiao Han's words, Lin Yi's eyes widened; does this one banknote have such a large amount? If so, can they get change?
