Chapter 590: Chapter 268: Not "My Vision," but...?!

And one thing is certain, no matter what, the safe distance reserved for him would not be too long, as there are numerous phalanxes of sculptures lurking within the Green Forest Belt. They do not move during the day, but as he penetrates deeper into the mountains, they too gain preliminary mobility, not to mention that boundary line deep in the forest.

He strained to observe his surroundings, trying his hardest to capture some mad images from the distorted vision. It was a gloomy, damp corner in the dense forest, almost as if it was a cursed land shrouded with an ominous aura.

"Rustle rustle rustle..."

"Rustle rustle rustle..."

Suddenly, some rustling sounds appeared around him, unlike the sounds emitted by the movement of sculptures, resembling more like some robust, elongated creature moving between the dense forest, the sound produced by scales rubbing against tree trunks and dry leaves...

A strong sign of ill omen enveloped Lin Yi; he heard... he heard a heavy breath, a sound like a horse exhaling through its nostrils, and like an amphibian with cheeks opening its gills to expel a mist of water.

He couldn’t see anything; his vision had twisted into a completely incomprehensible picture, seeing nothing but irregular specks of light. But at this moment, he could clearly feel something approaching in the area ahead of him, the heavy breathing getting closer, and the "rustle rustle rustle" sound getting more distinct...

Gradually, the "rustle rustle rustle" turned into a "clang clang clang", like metal scraping across a sharp blade rack, giving Lin Yi a faint sense of skin-cutting pain.

"Huff huff huff..."

The thing approached him, possibly ten meters away, maybe twenty meters, or even further, but the oppressive feeling it brought was like a tsunami hitting him in the face, like a strong wind blowing against his body, making his clothes whip about as if running against a strong wind.

The creature’s breath was scorching and hot, but when this breath reached him, it gave him a chilling sensation, as if the breath carried shards of ice, making his skin painfully prickle like being pricked by needles.

The thing seemed to be saying something, a low voice accompanied by ice shards enveloping Lin Yi:

"[I AvgruNnen av tåKe og jaGer forTapte Sjeler fanTome]"...

"This phrase... ?!" Lin Yi stiffened slightly; he had heard many similar phrases, but this pronunciation, he had only heard from the Nocturnal species and the Heretical Choir!

The entity he was facing appears to be some sort of Unit on this side!

An endless fear spread across his heart, but what puzzled him was why the enormous creature stopped there and didn’t continue approaching him.

Could it be that the other side was showing mercy... or was curious about him, or... something else?

"No no... it can’t be like this..." Lin Yi immediately dismissed this thought. A wild beast doesn’t attack out of curiosity to know what humans taste like, it attacks because...

"Boundary line!!"

He strained to observe the distorted images ahead and indeed noticed some subtle changes amidst the distortion.

"I have already reached deep into the forest! Just ahead is the boundary line between the deep forest and the woods!"

He had reached the deepest location Mu Daxian and Maozi had ventured to, and beyond lay the depths of the forest that even Mu Daxian dared not speak of.

He remembered, beyond the boundary line, the mist would become almost tangible, splitting into numerous layers and settling on the other side, some even hanging like cloth on ancient trees, in that dark place where even light couldn’t reach as if there was an entrance to an endless abyss below...

And now, something from that abyss had poked its head out, saw him?!

And under this visual contamination, although he was staring right at it, he could see nothing but collapsing points of light, not even an outline!

How many degrees of cognitive depth was this, such that his brain didn’t even offer the "conceptual cognition" of a "human silhouette made of broken glass," presenting instead a string of gibberish?

Gradually, Lin Yi noticed that the colorful specks of light in front of him were losing their brilliance, transforming into a duller sheen as if stained by the grey mist.

The shadows within the forest grew heavier, an invisible oppressive force surged forth, making Lin Yi feel as if the entity beyond the boundary was manipulating the surrounding environment; it couldn’t come out, yet it could control the spread of the mist.

Lin Yi felt like he could hardly escape.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to escape; he simply had nowhere to go.

As he hesitated, unsure of what to do, some movement arose behind him...

"Crack... crack... crack..."

A very clear sound of stepping on dry leaves.

As this sound emerged, a scorching and restless breath approached him bit by bit, giving his back a feeling of being scorched by high heat.

The next moment, the entire forest swayed along with this breath, as if split in half by it, the towering trees shook violently, leaves rustling like listening to waves in a forest sea, and with the sun that was originally hidden by the dense forest, some light fell down alongside the falling raindrops.
