I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Everyone please follow me and don't run too far, otherwise accidents may happen. The magic of Mirror Lake is quite dangerous." Wuchang warned seriously after bringing everyone to the edge of Mirror Lake.

It was pitch black at night, and the world covered in ice and snow was silent.

The Sunset Moon Forest on the right was still flashing brilliant magical light from time to time. Wu Chang reminded Manjushage and the others without even raising his head:

"Be careful not to be fooled by the beautiful appearance of the Sunset Moon Forest. Even if you are in a safe area, if you are weak-willed, you may still be attracted by the fairies and unconsciously walk into the depths of the forest."

"Fairy?" Manjushage was puzzled: "Is it a special name for elves?"

Wu Chang shook his head: "It is said that after the Elf Queen disappeared from the Sunset Moon Forest, the elves here collectively degenerated into fairies, making this forest even more dangerous."

"What if my willpower is weak?" Luo Shiqi was so scared that he was shaking all over.

He usually couldn't help drooling whenever he smelled the aroma of the cakes. If the Sunset Moon Forest was really as mysterious as the legend said, wouldn't he be able to get through it at all?

"If you are not so confident in your willpower, it is best not to look. Look straight ahead, keep your head up and chest out and keep walking." Wu Chang replied.

These precautions are all very familiar to the locals of Dahuangze. Some people have tried to fence off this area in the past to reduce the occurrence of accidents.

But the more they worried, the more people wanted to commit suicide. During the period when the three forbidden areas were closed, not only did the danger not decrease, but the death rate soared.

The residents of the Great Wilderness had no choice but to relax the restrictions to allow adventurous outsiders to experience what it means to have awe for nature.

After a period of time, outsiders no longer dared to trespass into the restricted area.

Many outsiders who want to explore this mysterious area will take the initiative to go to the town to find someone to lead the way, which can be regarded as providing an additional income for local residents.

"Go...where should we go?" Looking at the vast lake that seemed to have no end, Manjushage slowly asked a question mark.

On the left is Junyin Mountain, on the right is Xiyue Forest, and in the middle is the clear and mirror-like lake.

If we can’t go up to the sky, where can we get through?

Is it possible to walk across the lake?

As it turned out, she guessed right.

Wuchang told everyone that there was a very stable barrier formed by space magic on the surface of Mirror Lake.

When people step on the lake, it feels like walking on flat ground. Sometimes ripples will appear, as if many fish are swimming under the lake.

Generally speaking, as long as you follow the locals, you can avoid being teleported into the forbidden area and easily cross the Mirror Lake.

"Can we really just go straight away?" Doyle swallowed nervously.

He had run to the Great Wilderness many times, but never dared to look back here. He always took a detour when doing anything, for fear that he would be swallowed if he was not careful.

"Why are you so timid, Doyle? Wuchang said it would be fine, you just need to stay still."

Fan Yin walked lightly onto the lake. The mirror-like smooth water swayed gently, but Fan Yin's body was quite stable, and there was no sign of falling.

She stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of her eyes playfully: "Remember, look straight ahead and don't look at anything else."

Doyle walked up carefully and found that there was indeed no problem, and the surface of the lake under his feet was unusually soft, like stepping on a big fluffy bed.

In order to verify whether what Fan Yin and Wu Chang said was true, Doyle bravely jumped twice on the spot. The extremely elastic surface of the lake threw him high into the air, and then caught him steadily when he fell back into the lake.

"How is it? It's amazing, right?" Wu Chang said with a smile seeing that he was having so much fun.

"Yeah." Dalton suddenly became interested and forgot the previous instructions on the spot. He looked around curiously, but when he lowered his head and looked at the lake, he almost fainted from fright.

"Snake - what a big snake!" Doyle let out a scream of extreme terror.

His originally handsome face now turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

Beneath the calm lake surface, a giant python as big and sturdy as a towering mountain is lurking quietly at the bottom of the lake.

It bit its tail tightly, forming a closed circle. Its long and huge body was entangled and intertwined with each other, like an intricate maze, dazzling and oppressive.

With just one glance, an indescribable fear surged into my heart like a tide, as if countless pairs of cold and ruthless hands were tightly strangling my throat, suffocating me.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the only thing left in the world was this horrifying scene. Life also became so fragile and powerless at this moment, as if it would be completely taken away in the next second.

Every detail and every breath reveals the breath of death, which approaches people with an irresistible force, making people feel creepy and shudder.

"Below the surface of Mirror Lake is a completely distorted space. The images you see are real and fake, and it is difficult to distinguish. If you don't want to have nightmares when you go back, I advise you not to look at it." Seeing Doyle's frightened and cowardly look, Fan Yin couldn't help but laugh.

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Doyle held his legs that had gone limp from fear and tried to stand up and argue with Fan Yin in order to regain his lost dignity.

"Haven't I reminded you several times to look straight ahead and not look around, and nothing will happen? It's your fault for not listening to my advice." Fan Yin waved her hands, with an expression that said, "It's all your fault."

"Is this sister so scary?" Luo Shiqi was just like Doyle. The more he was forbidden to do something, the more curious he became.

He had originally planned to keep looking ahead and cross Mirror Lake as Wuchang and Fanyin had instructed, but when he saw that Doyle, who was usually fearless and even smiled when being beaten by his sister, was scared like that, he became curious.

As it turned out, there was only a beautiful girl curled up at the bottom of the lake.

And for some reason, the moment I saw her, the word "sister" popped out of my mouth unconsciously.

Doyle was still squatting on the ground holding his legs and unable to get up. When he heard what Luo Shiqi said, he immediately retorted loudly: "How can such a big snake be called a beautiful sister!"

Seeing that Doyle was so scared that he couldn't even stand up and still had the upper hand in words, Luo Shiqi thought he must play a good trick on this guy.

He put one hand on Doyle's broad back, then grabbed the back of his head and pushed it down, saying in a very evil tone: "If you don't believe me, you can take a look."

"I don't want it! Absolutely not!" Doyle refused to open his eyes.

"Okay, stop playing, we still have to go to the Dragon Altar."

Seeing that the two of them were about to forget themselves in the play, Manjushage hurriedly called a halt and raised her foot to move forward, but Doyle grabbed the hem of her skirt and said, "Wait, I can't walk anymore."

Manjushage looked at him with some disdain: "It's all an illusion, just don't think about her."

"No, my legs seem to be sucked in and I can't move!" Doyle explained hurriedly.

Hearing this, Manjushage looked at Wuchang: "What's going on?"

Wu Chang tapped his head and thought for a while: "Speaking of giant snakes, it should be Jörmungandr."

Legend has it that deep in the endless sea, there is a terrifying ancient giant snake sleeping quietly.

This giant snake has a body that is beyond imagination, and its length is enough to circle the entire island several times.

Yet, though it has been long gone, its remains have not turned to ashes or vanished without a trace.

The body of this ancient giant snake seems to possess some mysterious and powerful power, always maintaining a strange active state.

It continuously absorbs all the energy and vitality contained in the surrounding seawater at every moment.

These massive amounts of energy and vitality gradually gathered in the giant snake's body, just like a trickle of water flowing into the vast ocean.

The Kingdom of Aslan is an isolated island formed on this basis, and the curse of sinking in the Sea of ​​​​Illusion also comes from this.

"Mirror Lake is spiritual. When Master Doyle saw Jörmungandr, it seemed to him that there really was a giant snake at the bottom of the lake that would constantly suck in everything." Wuchang explained.

Doyle was so anxious that he almost cried: "Then how can I get rid of this suction?"
