Hyacinth magically conjured a rope, and the hollow tubular rope seemed to contain some kind of almost phosphor substance, and its green glow could be somewhat useful even in the thick fog.

He used the lark knot to connect himself with Ouyang Xiaoleng, Xia Qiu, and Qianqi one by one, and then said: "The purpose of this is so that we can follow each other, it is very terrible to get lost in the forbidden forest, and you may be sucked into the black hole leading to the other world at any time." And you can't talk in the forbidden forest, otherwise it will invite strange things, and be sure to keep a calm state of mind, because all your emotions will be doubled there, and that's where people can go crazy! ”

Upon entering the Forbidden Forest, they saw that there were countless trees that looked the same, all of them had pitch-black trunks and leaves, and the most puzzling thing was that these trees were all suspended in mid-air, and the rhizomes of the upper ones were connected to the lower ones hanging down to the ground like their reflections, giving people a surrealist sense of oppression. The forest was already dimly lit, and there was a thick fog barrier, so it was difficult to see each other from a distance of four or five meters, and it was impossible to predict the danger in advance.

Hyacinth slowed down as much as he could, leading a few teenagers to explore the traces of colored crystals in the forbidden forest. When he was in the mist, he realized that they were as cold as the smoke produced by dry ice, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Xia Qiu's feeling of the cold was the most obvious, and before she knew it, her hands and feet were cold, and her body involuntarily wanted to shrink into a ball, but she knew that she had to persevere. She didn't like this place very much, because even though Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was walking in front of her, and Qianqi, who was walking behind, were so close to her, they still couldn't see their appearance clearly because of the overlapping fog; And the strange cries of unknown creatures that sounded from time to time, neither birds nor beasts, near or far, made her always feel that there might be some amazing monster impulse in front of them at any moment.

It is said that the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, and it is even more so for demons, because their reactions are much more sensitive than humans, and now Ouyang Xiaoleng is being troubled by his own overly sensitive perception. As soon as he entered the Forbidden Forest, he knew that Hyacinth had concealed something about this introduction, perhaps because he was afraid that they would be too nervous. The aura emanating from here is quite complex, as if many worlds have been forcibly built together, and its structure is fragile, which is perhaps the main reason why Hyacinths don't let them speak, as any extra sound may cause a domino-like reaction. If the fragile balance that supports the forbidden forest is disrupted, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the chain reaction it may bring will even affect the entire Yellow Springs Country. He couldn't understand more and more why the Demon King of Flame Luo had let them come here, he should know better than anyone how powerful this place was, if it was just to test them, he could have come up with some other questions.

He was a little selfless in his thinking, and his pace inevitably slowed down, and he was hit on his back by Xia Qiu, who was walking forward. Even through his clothes, he could feel the coldness emanating from her body, and he didn't know how long she had endured it. She is always afraid that others will worry about herself, and she is afraid that she will cause trouble to others, and she will hold on to everything alone, which may be the tenderness of human beings, but she always makes him feel distressed involuntarily. He reached out and fumbled for one of her hands, just as she had held him that day when he was nervous about the Demon King's election.

As early as the time he saw the distorted Flame Luo Demon Palace, Qian Qi was full of disgust with this world, and it was not much easier to find the location of the colored crystal in such a place where he couldn't even see the road ahead, than to find a needle in a haystack. The longer he walked, the more he felt as if one small spark after another appeared in his heart, although it was only a trace of irritability, but it was very likely to be like a spark of stars, burning the prairie in an instant.

Hyacinths suddenly sensed that something was approaching them and tried to surround them, and the attackers brought a whirlwind centered around them to disperse the fog around them. He eagerly looked at the teenagers who were chained to him behind him, and after making sure that they were all still there and unharmed, he followed their gaze into the air.

Suspended in the air were large, semi-transparent human faces, and the voices of those non-beasts were coming from them, and these creatures were likely following them from the moment they entered the Forbidden Forest.

Xia Qiu looked at them in horror, covering her mouth with her free hand to stop herself from screaming out of fear, these ghostly faces should be the monsters from the other world that Hyacinth said, they seemed to be stalemate with them, waiting for their further action.

Ouyang Xiaoleng hesitated to prepare for the war, and just wanted to show off the Divine Ice. Hyacinth raised his hand and motioned for him to wait for a moment, he wanted to gamble, if he used his magic power now, it was very likely that he would provoke other monsters, since they didn't attack all the way, maybe they were just watching them.

There was nothing in the eye sockets of those translucent faces, and the longer they looked at them, the more they felt that they were being sucked into the hollow darkness that was trying to connect with the black hole in their hearts. In fact, everyone has an unknown side in their hearts, which is another part of themselves that is carefully hidden in the bottom of their hearts, with hatred, desires, and an ugly past that they don't want people to know...... Hyacinth felt that the seal that sealed the door of memories was slowly being lifted, and the sense of despair that had been with him once again consumed him.

Memories suddenly brought him back to a thousand years ago, when he was just a hyacinth in the human world that had just transformed into a demon. Because he is a flower demon, he can't leave his roots too far, he can only look at the world from afar, quietly and persistently for the world's forests or moved, disappointed, or angry...... He was almost madly thirsty for what he had thought he would never get, and that was freedom. Walk freely everywhere, walk freely to see the world out of sight, and freely catch up with the footsteps of spring with your beloved, just because it is a flower demon, it will never be able to leave its roots, but it is difficult for him to realize this wish.

Until someone appeared in front of him, it was Qingyun. He said, "Come with me, I can let you walk freely from the rhizomes buried in the deep earth, but the price of exchange is that you must obey me." He agreed without thinking, and the desire for freedom had blinded him to good and evil. In the hundreds of years since then, he has traveled through the human world and the demon world, and he has long lost count of how many people he has killed for him, even if his hands are stained with blood, he can still transform into the most beautiful flowers and butterflies. He was free to come and go without hindrance; But on the contrary, he felt more tightly bound, like a war horse that had been saddled on, put on the chariot of Qingyun alive, let it be controlled, whipped and wreaked at, he sank, his heart was gradually lost in a bottomless darkness.

He couldn't find an outlet for hope, and even began to miss the old days when he couldn't walk. At that time, at least his heart was pure, full of hope and yearning, and he would also be moved by the things in front of him. But now he is numb and has lost his sense of beauty and kindness, and all that remains is to mechanically complete Qingyun's orders. He would never have been sure if they really deserved to be killed before he killed, and although this uncertainty was just an excuse for his conscience not to be condemned and tormented, he knew in his heart that they did not deserve to die.

By chance, he heard that there was a place that was not under the jurisdiction of the Three Realms, there was no limit of time and space, and he thought that it would be his home, and only there would be a place where he should go, full of sin. In order to break through Qingyun's surveillance, he was seriously injured, and after several twists and turns, he finally came to the Yellow Springs Kingdom and became a subordinate of the Demon King of Yanluo, volunteering to take on the work of guiding the way for the undead. I thought that his heart would be as still as water from now on, and the remaining life and energy would be slowly consumed in this void world, but he never thought that he would hear the singing of Green Lady by chance. At first, he thought it was his hallucination, how could this void world have such a sound of singing, and it was as wonderful as a heavenly song? Later, he discovers that this song is real, and the owner of the song is actually the daughter of the Demon King of Yama, Green Luoji, who has been under house arrest.

The green pothos was born beautiful, with a beautiful flower and moon appearance, without the world, and her simple eyes revealed infinite grievances. Since she was born, she has never had freedom, but her singing is still full of hope, describing the yearning for the future and the forgiveness of her father who imprisoned her.

It is a noble soul that cannot be compared to itself, a soul that can shine even in the darkest places. He couldn't help but have a long-lost love for her, and she also sensed his feelings and responded to him with her own singing. Two lonely people, although they could only look at each other from a distance across the tower, those two pairs of eyes that looked at each other became a source of courage for each other. The ice in his heart was melting, the shadow was driven away, and he felt that even if he could no longer be forgiven, he would try to find a remedy. Before he died, he wanted to make his soul kind and clear, and become a person worthy of her, and he decided to do so.

Hyacinth suddenly woke up from his hallucinations, thinking that he might have been overwhelmed by some kind of power of those translucent human faces, and the teenagers around him who were watching him attentively breathed a sigh of relief as he regained consciousness. The face of the person suspended in the air had retreated into the fog and disappeared, and he smiled apologetically at the teenagers who were worried about him, relieving his emotions after the danger.

The rest of the road was a little more peaceful than expected, and the monsters did not reappear. They managed to find a place full of colored crystals, and black pebble-sized stones were evenly scattered in front of them.

Hyacinth took the lead in picking up two colored crystals, and the black stones began to change the moment they were touched by his fingers, and the black color of the whole body slowly dissolved, gradually becoming as clear and transparent as crystal stones. When the whole stone turns transparent silver, a small blue dot begins to appear in the middle of the two stones. Immediately, those little dots slowly grow larger, spin, and bloom like a seed...... Eventually, a swarm of blue butterflies appeared in the hyacinth's colored crystals, flying back and forth between the two stones.

Qianqi also couldn't wait to pick up a piece of colored crystal, the black on the stone gradually turned into a transparent color as blue as the sea in his hands, and a small spark appeared in the center of the stone, which beat and slowly turned into a round of rising sun that jumped out of the sea, which was a strange scene that the poet could hardly imagine.

Xia Qiu picked up a relatively round piece of colored crystal in front of him and picked it up, and the colored crystal turned from black to white, repeating the same process as the previous two. There are pieces of falling snowflakes in the stone, and there is a bunch of red plum blossoms blooming in the snow in the center, as if it is the epitome of summer and autumn, beautiful and elegant, and faintly showing a proud and cold charm.

After that, she couldn't wait to lean over to Ouyang Xiaoleng, looking at the changes in the stone in his hand, and the colored crystal stone he picked up was the most sluggish. Xia Qiu guessed: It must be because he is used to hiding his emotions, and even the stone has a hard time trying to capture him.

After waiting for a while, the colored crystal finally gradually reacted, and the black was diluted by the moonlight gold, and the gold was mixed with speckled white snow, echoing the cold plum and proud snow in summer and autumn. He was both the snow and the king, and she was the only plum blossom that could bloom in his arms.

After admiring their respective colored crystals, the four of them silently exchanged glances, put away the colored crystals, and slowly walked towards the outside of the forbidden forest as before. Maybe it was because they were in a happy mood after getting the colored crystals, and the fog in front of them felt that it was not as heavy as before, and their vision was more open, and they soon walked out of the forbidden forest without incident.
