Milin, located in the south of Huashan City. The more than 50 miles along the way were desolate, and there was not a single village with people. However, I encountered many collapsed and dilapidated houses.

"Why did these villages become like this?" said Shen Linfeng, pointing to the houses in front of him that were almost covered with wild grass.

"Little brother doesn't know anything!"

The speaker wears a straw hat and carries a bamboo basket. He is in his fifties and has a black beard that does not grow long on his chin.

He had been in and out of the Lost Forest several times, and he was also Shen Linfeng's guide for this operation.

Xu He said: "A few years ago, the area around Huashan was notoriously poor. The government also ignores this place and leaves us ordinary people to fend for ourselves. However, since Hua Gongzi came, he has gathered all the people within a radius of dozens of miles to Huashan City. With a new home, who still wants to return to the previous broken place. As a result, the houses in the villages, where no one lived, were abandoned. ”

"I see!" Shen Linfeng nodded. He then pulled out a map that he had drawn beforehand.

"Don't look at it, two miles further is the entrance to the Lost Forest!"

"Is there no other entrance?"

"No, there's only one entrance to the Lost Forest!"

Shen Linfeng glanced at Xu He, obviously not believing his words.

"How can a forest that stretches for nearly a hundred miles have only one entrance?"

Xu He didn't care about Shen Linfeng's questioning, he said with a smile: "If it was just an ordinary forest, I wouldn't believe that it only had one entrance. But don't forget, this is not an ordinary forest, it's called a maze forest!" After speaking, Xu He showed a mysterious smile.

"I said, can you old man stop selling Guanzi!" Tu Fangfang, who was behind Shen Linfeng, couldn't help but complain.

"Haha...... Don't worry, I don't understand a sentence or two. The forest is ahead, I think everyone should come and have a look!"

Tu Fangfang gave Xu He a fierce look, but the other party's words also made her curiosity even stronger.

"Drive!"

Tu Fangfang shouted violently, and the horse galloped forward quickly.

"Haha...... Why are you so anxious,?, can't you have a man in front of you?" Zhong Ruida followed Tu Fangfang closely.

"Phew, dead bald! Want to tease the old lady, you don't deserve it!"

"What's the matter? I'm afraid that Lao Tzu is too violent, and you can't stand it?"

"Haha...... Your thing that is more than an inch long, the old lady really doesn't pay attention to it!"

"Haha......"

The two of them went one after the other, and you said a word to me, which caused everyone behind them to laugh.

But when they reached the Lost Forest, the cheerful laughter came to an abrupt end.

Not because you are amazed by the towering trees, nor because you are amazed by the vastness of the labyrinth......

The reason for this was that a river about forty or fifty zhang wide appeared in front of everyone. The water inside is so turbulent that you can't tell whether it's deep or shallow.

The rushing river constantly laps on the shore, and the lost forest stands there quietly like an island in the deep sea.

Above the river is a crumbling suspension bridge, two ropes the thickness of a man's arm. The bridge deck is an ordinary wooden plank, which may have been invaded by water vapor all year round, some of the planks have rotted, and some have broken in the water and have long been lost.

Shen Linfeng watched from the other side, the misty forest on the opposite side was gloomy and terrifying, and the forest was covered by dense branches.

"It seems that this trip to the forest is not easy!" Shen Linfeng thought in his heart, he seemed to be able to feel that there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him in the forest opposite.

"Shen Gongzi?"

"Huh?"

"Can you cross the river now?"

"Hmm! Let's get ready!"

Xu He nodded in agreement, and he stood in front of everyone and shouted, "Everyone pack up your things and untie all the horses." Lined up, we crossed the river five times with ten people at a time!

"Got it!

These guards of Huashan City agreed in unison.

Shen Linfeng looked at the rushing river, as well as the splashes on the shore from time to time. The crumbling suspension bridge over the river is swaying from side to side in the wind, making it daunting.

Although this river channel is thirty or forty zhang wide, it has sunk into the internal force of the wind, and it is naturally easy to exert light skills in the past. But in the end, he decided to follow the others across the bridge.

"Everyone follow me, let's take the lead!"

"Good!"

Shen Linfeng grinned and took the lead on the suspension bridge.

"Click!" the sound of the plank breaking.

The plank under Shen Linfeng's feet suddenly fell, and it was washed away by the river without a trace.

"Be careful, everyone!"

Shen Linfeng didn't understand until this moment that it was not easy to walk on this suspension bridge.

"Click!" another plank was broken by the guards behind him.

Shen Linfeng tightly tugged on the rope on his side, the surface of the rope was extremely slippery, and it was covered with a lot of turquoise moss.

But these ordinary mosses made Shen Linfeng suspicious. Listening to Xu He, this suspension bridge is rarely walked. And the last time the Forest of Transformation sent people into the Maze Forest was more than a month ago.

It stands to reason that the moss should be neatly attached to the surface of the rope. However, the moss that Shen Linfeng saw looked like it had been deliberately destroyed. He turned to look behind him, the guards of Huashan City walked cautiously on the plank, their palms tightly tugging at the rope in their hands.

Shen Linfeng's eyes widened.

"No, these mosses weren't deliberately destroyed. Not long ago, someone grabbed this rope and went into the forest. ”

As far as he could see, the forest not far away was still gloomy.

"The purpose of the Forest of Transformation into the Maze Forest is to find that peerless horse. That...... What are these people going to the Maze Forest for?"

Shen Linfeng thought in his heart. Before you know it, you're on the other side of the drawbridge. Beneath his feet were sand and gravel washed ashore by the river, and some burned branches, and it seemed that someone had made a fire here to keep warm.

"Let's take a break in place!" Shen Linfeng stared at the forest in front of him, probably speaking too loudly. Many birds in the forest began to "chirp" and fly around.

After about half an hour, more than 50 people had already rushed to the opposite shore one after another. Xu He ordered them to rest in place and set off in half an hour.

Shen Linfeng sat on a rock, holding a map in his hand and studying it carefully.

"I said Brother Shen, don't look at it!"

"How?"

"Your map is nothing more than a complete view of the labyrinth, and a few paths nearby. As for ...... in the labyrinth," Xu He grinned.

"There is no road at all!"
