Chapter 393

But until they saw this red boundary line.

With every step forward, the temperature change became obvious.

By the time they could see the scenery ahead clearly, the temperature of the air around them had already reached over a hundred degrees.

And this hundred-plus degrees was still the temperature after isolation and weakening.

One could imagine how high the temperature was inside that red area.

Qin Feng even suspected that if it weren't for the map showing that the red area was full of red trees.

He would have suspected that it was a large expanse of magma inside.

"You really have foresight; it seems the existence of these black trees is to form barriers to weaken the scorching temperature of the territory ahead."

"It's just that I don't know how scorching the territory ahead is."

Both the black-robed person and Lin An were full of admiration for Qin Feng's foresight and judgment.

If it weren't for Qin Feng, they might have only been able to sense the efficacy of these black trees and their leaves until now.

Only after considering this point would they pick leaves to protect themselves.

"But are we going to keep holding these leaves and walk forward? Can this resist the heat?"

Although the temperature around them was already over a hundred degrees.

But they were holding the leaves and couldn't feel the heat at all.

The black-robed person was the one who determined that the temperature around them was over a hundred degrees by deliberately placing the leaves they were holding on the ground.

After leaving the Spell Range of the leaves' protection, they felt the temperature around them.

And then determined it.

Although a temperature of over a hundred degrees was quite high.

But for a cultivator of the black-robed person's level, it wasn't enough to cause them harm.

As for Qin Feng, Qin Feng didn't need to try like this at all.

The system panel wrote it clearly; the temperature here was 137 degrees, no need to feel it.

"I don't know about this either."

"But at least when we hold these leaves, our whole bodies haven't been harmed by the heat."

"This proves that our action of holding the leaves is still correct."

"It's just that I don't know if we only need to take a few leaves to achieve such an effect, or if we must hold a large pile of leaves."

Qin Feng wasn't omniscient, so he naturally didn't know this either.

"Take a few and try, and you'll know."

Regarding how to take them, the black-robed person naturally didn't know either; they knew even less than Qin Feng.

Regarding the things inside this fog, they only knew there was a pass inside.

Besides that, they knew nothing.

But they were strong, so they could try; even if they tried wrong, they wouldn't be harmed.

At least they wouldn't be seriously harmed.

It must be said that sometimes being strong is really awesome.

The black-robed person was also a straightforward person who did what they said.

Originally, they had already left the leaves and felt the temperature around them.

Now, they just needed to continue the experiment.

They first picked up a leaf, and quickly, the moment the leaf was in their hand, they felt a clear change in the temperature around them.

But although it was clear, it was at most just a few degrees.

It couldn't be counted as much.

They then picked up the leaves one by one, until they had picked up over a hundred leaves.

Only then did they feel the temperature around them return to normal.

"Over a hundred leaves can make us feel very comfortable."

"But if we walk further, over a hundred leaves should not be enough."

"The further in we go, the higher the temperature should be, so for the sake of safety, let's hold all the leaves and walk forward."

"It should be that one leaf can only resist a few degrees of temperature."

"The more leaves you carry, the more heat you can offset."

"No one knows how high the temperature is inside that red area, so it's better to be cautious."

The black-robed person's experiment made Lin An and Qin Feng even more cautious.

No one knew how high the temperature was inside.

Although they were currently carrying a large pile of leaves, the number of these leaves was limited after all.

What if the temperature inside was tens of thousands of degrees?

They didn't have enough leaves.

And even if they did, it would be very difficult for them to carry so many leaves with them.

As for putting the leaves in a storage bag.

Both the black-robed person and Lin An had already tried.

Putting them inside didn't work; they had to hold them to be effective.

The further they walked, the higher the temperature rose.

They found some rope, bundled up countless black leaves, and hung them on their bodies.

They dragged large, thick piles of them as they moved forward.

It was fortunate that they were cultivators with decent strength;

otherwise, they probably wouldn't have even been able to drag these leaves.

As for the trunks and branches, they had speculated whether the leaves and branches might have even more powerful properties.

But despite exerting all their strength, they couldn't chop off even a single branch,

and it was useless even when the Black-Robed Man tried it himself.

At this point, they concluded that this idea was not feasible.

So, they honestly bundled up the leaves and used them to protect themselves.

Even if it meant piling themselves up until they looked like small mounds of earth.

They hid inside these mounds and trudged forward with difficulty.

They didn't bother with any other attempts.

Even though they had made full preparations and were armed to the teeth,

upon entering this red region, they still felt an indescribable, intense heat.

Although the leaves around them had lowered the temperature to a level the human body could withstand,

perhaps due to psychological reasons,

they felt as if their internal organs were being scorched and were in great discomfort.

"There are actually living things here. I just don't know if there are any large, aggressive beasts."

"Moreover, since there are signs of life here, it proves that this place is already different from the small black forest before."

"This might be a very important place. We cannot simply pass through; we must try to see if there is anything we need here."

Although this place made them feel very uncomfortable and they desperately wanted to leave as soon as possible,

firstly, no one knew what lay ahead in this red region,

or if there would be even greater dangers.

Secondly, since this region already showed signs of life and possessed a force capable of blocking people,

it proved that this area was not entirely useless.

Perhaps there really was something here.

While it might not necessarily be the pass, it could be something that guides them to find it.

This time, it was Lin An who first proposed the conjecture.

Qin Feng naturally expressed his complete agreement.

Because, during the journey when they were walking steadily through the small black forest...
