Ambushed twice in a row, Lin Chuan proceeded with even greater caution.
Although he knew danger lurked everywhere here, the surrounding mist severely restricted his perception. He was not afraid of attacks from bizarre creatures; what he feared most was encountering something venomous that might take a bite out of him. In that case, with no medicine and unable to circulate his true qi, he would simply be waiting for death. Then there was that large snake from earlier—he had no idea if there were even larger snakes here. If there were, he would be in grave danger.
After walking for about an hour, a patch of Thorn Forest blocked his path. These thorns were as black as ink, and Lin Chuan had no desire to test whether they were poisonous. Yet if he did not clear a path through these thorns now, he would have to turn back, and turning back meant he had no idea what he might encounter.
