A passing peasant woman saw Su Qiuyue and the others peeking out from the edge of the forest and kindly reminded them, "Don't go into this forest. It's very spooky."

Qin Yan asked curiously: "Uncle, is there any legend about this forest?"

The farmer put down the hoe from his shoulder, spat, and said, "You must be from outside the area!"

"Yes, we are merchants passing through."

"That's it. We locals never dare to enter the Worry-Free Forest. Even the most capable hunters only dare to move around outside the forest. They don't dare to go deeper into the forest."

Chu Qilin asked, "Old man, is this forest really that evil?"

Seeing that everyone seemed unconvinced, the farmer said in an exaggerated tone, "Don't disbelieve me. No one who has entered the depths of the Worry-Free Forest can come out alive. Three years ago, the doctor from the town went in to collect herbs and never came out again."

The farmer paused and continued, "There were a few young men in the next village who didn't believe in evil. They gathered seven or eight people and went to the woods. Only one person came out alive, but that person seemed to have been stimulated by something. He talked nonsense for a few days and then jumped into the river."

Su Qiuyue backed off after hearing this. The forest was dark and there might really be some monsters in it.

Chu Qilin bowed to the farmer and said, "Thank you for your reminder, old man. We won't go into the forest, we'll just look around."

The farmer then confidently carried his hoe and looked back at everyone as he walked. It was a long time before he disappeared.

Chu Qilin saw the farmer walking away and ordered, "Let's go into the woods. The door of miracles is likely to open inside."

"But..." Su Qiuyue hesitated. What the farmer said just now made a lot of sense.

But the men ignored Su Qiuyue and went into the woods together.

Su Qiuyue had no choice but to follow him and walked to Ye's side.

After entering the forest, everyone realized that the trees here were indeed more lush than those outside, blocking out the sun. It seemed that it was because the soil here was more fertile.

The further you go in, the more lush the plants become, and accordingly, the flying insects and animals also hide away.

At noon, everyone came to an open space deep in the dense forest and stopped to rest and replenish their energy.

Suddenly, a large group of birds in the woods seemed to be frightened and flew away in a flutter.

Ye became alert and protected Su Qiuyue behind him. He didn't know since when, Ye got used to protecting Su Qiuyue, and Su Qiuyue also got used to being protected by Ye behind her.

"Are there really ghosts here?" Qin Yan looked around and said sinisterly.

Chen Feiyang said: "It's noon now, what ghost dares to come out at this time? I heard that ghosts are most afraid of the sun."

Qin Yan nodded, as if what you said made sense.

Ye said, "There are no dead ghosts here, but there are a few living ghosts." As soon as he finished speaking, several flying knives flew out of his hands and shot towards the dense forest.

After a few "Ah" sounds, several people fell from the trees screaming.

Xia Chuyao was quick-witted and captured a man and brought him over.

I saw that person's face was painted with complicated and mysterious patterns, which looked extremely weird.

Chu Qilin asked: "Who are you?"

The man's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he kept muttering: "You have trespassed into the Worry-Free Forest. The Witch God will punish you. The Witch God will punish you."

Qin Yan said impatiently: "What witch god? Who are you? Why are you spying on us?"

The man with patterns on his face kept repeating the same words: The witch god will punish you.

Seeing that he refused to listen, everyone knocked him unconscious and threw him into the woods.

After eating some dry food, everyone continued to move forward. Somehow, Su Qiuyue felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her.

She pulled the corner of Ye's clothes and asked softly, "Xiao Ye, are we surrounded?"

Ye nodded and said, "Yes, there are at least two groups of people watching us."

Chen Feiyang nodded in approval after hearing what Ye said, "Mr. Ye has good hearing. Indeed, two groups of people are watching us. One of them should be the accomplices of the tattooed man just now, and the other group has been watching us since Hangzhou."

Su Qiuyue spread her hands and said, "Okay, okay, you all know that someone is following us, but you didn't tell me, huh!"

Suddenly, Su Qiuyue felt that the peach blossom jade pendant on her body began to heat up. Not knowing why, Su Qiuyue took out the jade pendant and saw that it gradually became transparent and felt warm to the touch.

what happened?

Chu Qilin also realized the unusualness of the jade pendant, so he took it out from his arms and took a closer look!

The two looked at each other in confusion, and then a thought popped up in their minds at the same time that the door of miracles was very likely to open.

At this time, seven or eight people gathered from nowhere. There were both men and women among them, and without exception, they had the same patterns tattooed on their faces as the man just now.

Ye and the other three surrounded Su Qiuyue and Chu Qilin, drew their weapons and prepared to fight.

To everyone's surprise, those mysterious tattooed men did not launch an attack, but knelt down in unison, shouting, "Greetings to the messenger of God, greetings to the messenger of God."

Su Qiuyue was completely confused, this reversal was too quick, he just said that the witch god would punish him, but now he called himself a messenger of God.

Are these people mentally ill?

As everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do, a woman in a blue dress, also with tattoos on her face, whose actual age could not be determined, walked out from the depths of the dense forest.

She walked through the tribesmen who were kneeling together, approached Su Qiuyue, knelt down excitedly, and said, "Lord God's Messenger, you finally showed up. We have been waiting for you for a long, long time."

Su Qiuyue saw that the newcomer had no hostility, so she politely helped the woman up and asked, "Sister, who are you? Why do you call us God's messengers?"

The woman held Su Qiuyue's hand tightly and refused to let go. She said with tears in her eyes, "Lord God's Messenger, we are your loyal servants. We have been waiting in this Worry-Free Forest for more than a hundred years. Today, my people and I have finally waited for you."

"servant?"

"Yes, the one who possesses the peach blossom jade pendant is the divine envoy. My lords, our people have discovered that many people are following you. Come with me to the village and hide."

Su Qiuyue was even more surprised: "You also know about the Peach Blossom Jade Pendant?"

The woman nodded: "Master Wushen told us that in the distant future, Master God's Messenger will come here and pass through the Gate of Miracles. On the day when Master God's Messenger passes through the Gate of Miracles, our people will be free."

The more Su Qiuyue listened, the more confused she became. She had a lot of questions in her mind and was about to ask them, but was stopped by Ye.

"Those who are following us are nearby. Let's get out of here first."
