But Ning Chen felt it might not be that simple.

He had traveled all the way from Donghai City to Xia Dao.

With such a distance, the reward alone would be two streets ahead of previous missions!

【Looks like so much fun! If I get the chance, I want to go to Xia Dao too!】

【The glass suspension bridge! My absolute favorite! Every time I look at the scenery below from up there, I get so excited!】

【The person above is a pervert, right? I went traveling once and got on one of these glass suspension bridges; that sense of height almost scared my little heart right out of my chest! I immediately crawled onto the ground, too scared to move, and only got down later with two friends supporting me on either side!】

【This tourist scenery is actually quite nice; it shows they are thinking of everyone!】

【If I were here, I'd have to shout a couple of times towards the outside from the high ground, otherwise I'd always feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick!】

Ning Chen didn't hesitate, walking quickly across the glass suspension bridge.

In no time, he descended from the glass suspension bridge and reached the end of this small path.

Next.

It split into two paths.

One led deeper in, while the other took a winding route towards the exit.

Naturally, Ning Chen took the path leading deeper in.

As this path led further inward.

The surroundings began to grow dimmer than before.

But Ning Chen adapted to this environment very quickly; in his eyes, it made little difference from being bright.

Quickly.

Ning Chen arrived at the first scenic spot of Bei Lin.

It was a strangely shaped tree, looking like a snake with a curved body, spiraling upward continuously.

Ning Chen walked over; there was a sign above introducing it.

"Snake Tree: Its appearance resembles a coiled snake. It has a long history, having lived for at least five hundred years!"

Seeing this simple introduction, even Ning Chen couldn't help but marvel at nature's uncanny craftsmanship.

Inside the live stream.

Countless people were shocked.

【Oh my god, how did this tree bend into such a shape? Is it really not man-made?】

【It looks a bit eerie! Is there something being surrounded in the middle? Otherwise, under normal circumstances, trees probably wouldn't form such a shape!】

【Is this tree a bit depressed? Why does it look like that electric coil thing!】

【I've learned something new today; this is the first time I've ever seen such a strange tree.】

【There's an explanatory sign down below! It says this tree is named the Snake Tree and has a long history of several hundred years!】

【That's a bit strange!】

Ning Chen faced another fork in the road here.

This fork did have a distinction.

It led to different scenic spots.

Following the instructions in his mind, Ning Chen chose the path on the left.

Gradually.

This path became nothing but a long corridor; aside from the road beneath his feet, both sides were enclosed by long glass tunnels.

And the sign at the entrance read, "Large snakes are present; please be careful."

Ning Chen looked at that sign, then suddenly smelled something strange.

He followed the scent to look at both sides; it turned out staff members had sprayed a scent that wild animals dislike on both sides to drive them away.

These matters were naturally of no consequence.

Quickly.

Ning Chen briskly walked into the glass tunnel.

Suddenly.

Slowly, a sense of security injected a dose of reassurance into all the viewers inside the live stream.

Before, many people were afraid that something eerie would suddenly appear.

But now it was different; there were structures protecting them on all sides, and the glass tunnel itself had lit up with orange-yellow lights.

The road ahead was brightly illuminated, allowing one to see far into the distance at a glance.

Just as Ning Chen was walking forward at a leisurely pace.

An unusual phenomenon suddenly came from ahead.

Hearing the sounds, he raised his eyes to look into the distance, and it turned out to be a group of elderly uncles and aunts exercising and running together here!

Some were even working out, doing calisthenics and stretching.

The viewers in the live stream were dumbfounded.

This really is something domestic elderly uncles and aunts would do!

Ning Chen was helpless and could only walk to the side to make way for them.

"Young man, where are you going?"

An auntie dressed like a pink flower danced over and asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen pointed ahead and said, "The place I'm going is just up there."

"Oh, oh! Judging by your look, you must know the way, so I won't guide you!" Saying this, the auntie danced away from in front of Ning Chen.

Ning Chen glanced back, then quickened his pace and passed through here rapidly.

It seems they have been active here for a long time; in that case, the chance of encountering wild animals here is extremely low.

After passing through that long glass corridor.

Ning Chen finally saw the second wonder.

The phenomenon of giant leaves.

He saw countless trees bearing enormous leaves spread out above Ning Chen's head.

Each one was like a lotus flower, capable of sheltering a person underneath.

If it were raining, one could even take cover beneath them.

Surrounded by the kingdom of giant leaves, Ning Chen felt as though the entire world had been filled up.

Regarding this kind of plant.

Ning Chen was quite curious about it.

The viewers in the live stream also exclaimed repeatedly.

410. Alternative Perception

Looking at the giant leaves.

Someone in the live stream said.

【Oh my god! How can the leaves here be so big!】

【Wouldn't this make a very effective umbrella?】

【No need to make an umbrella; just pluck a leaf and you're done.】

【This feeling is like humans shrinking down to look at things; it's truly shocking!】

【It's a bit like the cartoons I watched as a child.】

【With leaves this big, look at these trees; how many years must they have grown to reach such size!】

【Wow, this scene has such atmosphere! If only it were drizzling a little, it would be perfect!】

Ning Chen glanced at the giant leaves, then continued forward along the path paved with wooden planks.

To be fair.

The environment here is indeed excellent; no wonder large numbers of people come to Xia Dao for tourism every year.

Moreover, the style of these tourist facilities is simple and convenient, not hindering people's experience in the slightest.

Ning Chen advanced beneath the giant leaves.

The sky began to grow dimly bright.

A few rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and shone in.

Forming a mottled, dappled sunlit walkway.
