Chapter 392

With his current strength, even if he could successfully obtain the pass here.

I'm afraid it would be very difficult to support him in doing anything in the Sunset Empire.

"You two don't need to just stand there; hurry up and come help; these leaves are very hard to pick."

Because he didn't know how many Black Obsidian leaves were needed to provide reliable protection for them.

So Qin Feng picked as many Black Obsidian leaves as possible, picking as many as he could carry.

But at this speed, it would take forever to pick enough leaves.

He couldn't just pick for himself and ignore the other two.

After all, these two were at least teammates now.

And Lin An was a companion who set off with him.

He couldn't ignore them.

So, Qin Feng could only call for them to act together.

Lin An naturally trusted Qin Feng, so as soon as Qin Feng called, Lin An knew Qin Feng must have his own purpose.

So she honestly climbed the tree and started picking leaves.

Not caring about her image as a woman.

And the black-robed person looked at Qin Feng blankly, then at Lin An, hesitated for a moment, but in the end, didn't abandon the two of them and go forward alone.

Instead, they climbed the tree and picked leaves with Qin Feng.

Although they didn't know what purpose Qin Feng had in doing this.

But after this period of getting along, they also felt that Qin Feng should be a relatively reliable person and wouldn't do boring things.

Actually, this was also a test by Qin Feng for this black-robed person.

If the black-robed person was willing to pick leaves with them, that was naturally a happy ending, proving that this teammate was still quite reliable.

But if the black-robed person abandoned them, finding them troublesome, and left on their own.

Qin Feng wouldn't do anything unnecessary, at most just keep his mouth shut.

And not warn this black-robed person that there was danger ahead.

Regarding the leaves, Qin Feng picked as many as he could until he couldn't carry any more.

The two of them followed suit and picked a large pile of Black Obsidian leaves.

Picking the leaves took at least an hour.

The three of them returned to the ground, all looking somewhat disheveled.

The mysterious black-robed person was the first of the three to pick enough leaves.

And they picked the leaves very easily; a single reach and grab was a handful.

From this, Qin Feng could judge the strength of this mysterious black-robed person.

It was even stronger than he had imagined.

Far, far superior to them.

In fact, it was very likely that a single finger could kill them.

"So why are we picking leaves?"

Although they followed along to pick them, they still didn't know why.

So both Lin An and the black-robed person were very curious.

"Everything exists for a reason."

"We have walked for so long, and in this black forest, we haven't seen anything."

"No danger, and no living creatures."

"Then what is the significance of this black forest's existence?"

"It can't block outside enemies from invading, nor can it provide a living environment for creatures."

"Why does such an optional thing grow so well here?"

Qin Feng used a series of rhetorical questions.

Although he knew the answer, he couldn't say it.

Because he couldn't explain how he knew.

Whether it was Lin An or anyone else, in this world, he wouldn't tell anyone about the system.

"You mean, since this forest is likely not for defending against outside enemies."

"Then it is possible that it is to protect the outside from being harmed by the inside."

Lin An was so smart; Qin Feng only needed to start, and she could guess what Qin Feng wanted to say next.

This was also what Qin Feng deliberately guided.

Letting Lin An and the others guess it themselves was much better than Qin Feng explaining it sentence by sentence.

People will always subconsciously believe their own judgment more than words from someone else's mouth.

"Exactly, although this possibility is just our guess, there is an exception to everything."

"Just picking some leaves to carry, if they can be used, that's naturally good."

"If they aren't used, we have only wasted a little bit of time."

"This little bit of time doesn't seem that important to us right now."

Qin Feng's words still made a lot of sense.

Lin An and the black-robed person both agreed with Qin Feng's idea.

So their next journey was to move forward while holding a pile of black leaves.

Although except for Qin Feng, Lin An and the black-robed person both had spatial storage devices.

And regardless of the gap in their levels, whether they were on the same level of things.

But at least they had them.

But who knew when danger would exist.

Since Qin Feng was holding the leaves all the way, they followed suit and held them too.

When the map showed that they had walked through more than half of this small black forest.

And were about to reach the red area.

They also gradually felt a hint of heat.

Although this hint of heat was very faint.

If they weren't cultivators, they probably wouldn't have sensed this slight temperature change.

But no matter whether this temperature change was strong or weak, it was enough to make them alert.

"The surrounding environment has changed. Get ready."

The first to sense the change was naturally the strongest, the black-robed person.

Although they didn't talk much along the way.

And didn't do anything unnecessary.

But at this moment, they still reminded them.

In the judgment of the black-robed person, Qin Feng and Lin An naturally wouldn't be able to sense it.

After all, their strength was the strongest, so just because they could sense it now didn't mean Lin An and Qin Feng could sense it now.

In their deduction, they would have to walk a long way further before Qin Feng and Lin An could sense the temperature change in the air.

But in fact, Qin Feng's five senses were far superior to ordinary people.

This superiority of the five senses had nothing to do with strength, but rather with the constitution itself.

So, Qin Feng and the black-robed person sensed the change in the air almost at the same time.

The only one who couldn't sense it was Lin An.

They walked a long way further.

Until they could see the red boundary line ahead from afar.

Lin An finally sensed the change in the air.

For a long way before, the temperature change had been very subtle.
