Yun Sheng also noticed, as they had walked quite a distance, that they were merely circling around in place next to the marked pine trees. Xuan Meimei looked back towards the direction they came from and discovered that every direction was a path that looked so similar; she truly couldn’t tell which one was the way they had entered. "If you want to leave, you can try to leave by yourself, that is, if you can find a way out," Yun Sheng picked up a handful of snow from the ground and promptly popped it into her mouth. After chewing a few times, she felt a chill in her cheeks, but the taste of the snow was not bad—carrying a hint of the scent of pine trees. "Brother Bu Po," Xuan Meimei was still unyielding. "Shut up, I’ll leave you here alone if you keep making noise," Yun Sheng gave Xuan Meimei a stern glance. "Meimei, stop causing trouble," Yuan Bupo ordered Little Red and Blue to fly higher up. However, as soon as Little Red and Blue reached mid-flight, it was forced to land again, perching on Yuan Bupo’s shoulder and chirping incessantly. "Little Red and Blue said there’s a barrier above this forest sea; it can’t fly too high," Yuan Bupo began to feel a bit anxious for the first time, originally thinking that the Elf Clan was merely as powerful as rumors suggested. But now it seemed, they had truly kicked an iron plate. With unclear directions in front, and no way back, and all the food in everyone’s Storage Rings frozen and inedible, if they remained trapped, what awaited them was a dead end. Yun Sheng was silent, listening intently to the sound of the wind. At this moment, the Charming Soul Stone on Yun Sheng’s Magic Wand emitted a faint green glow. "Charming Soul Stone?" This Charming Soul Stone was a gift from Divine Wind to her. The Charming Soul Stone lighting up on its own was a first. The light from the Charming Soul Stone grew brighter, and a beautiful Charming Elf Butterfly appeared. The Elf was tiny, like a small green butterfly, but it possessed a humanoid body and a pair of pointy, attention-grabbing ears. Unexpectedly, the Charming Soul Stone Divine Wind had given her came to life upon entering Xianju Country. Perhaps sensing its return to a long-lost homeland, the Charming Elf Butterfly fluttered joyfully in the sky, tracing beautiful emerald streaks. "Chirp chirp," Little Red and Blue seemed very interested in the beautiful creature. It chased after the Charming Elf Butterfly, ceaselessly fluttering through the air. The Charming Elf Butterfly quickly flew to Yun Sheng’s side, gently touching her with its wings. "Quick, follow it, it says it knows the way home," Yun Sheng felt a strange language being communicated to her. Yuan Bupo and Xuan Meimei were still immersed in this strange scene, but upon Yun Sheng’s prompt, they quickly followed her and chased after the Charming Elf Butterfly. The three only felt bursts of icy snow wind by their ears, as numerous tall pines and cypress trees swept past behind them. The nimble figure of the Charming Elf Butterfly continuously led the way up front. Gradually, the group had left the heart of Snow Forest Sea, entering the periphery. As Yun Sheng and the others entered the outskirts of the forest sea, in a majestic city not far from Snow Forest Sea, several Elf Archers with white hair and blue eyes, resembling enlarged versions of the Charming Elf Butterfly, heard a warning signal. "Direction of Snow Forest Sea, outsiders have intruded!" Like facing a great enemy, those Elf Guards immediately gathered over a hundred individuals, all surging toward the direction of Snow Forest Sea. "Look ahead, we should have entered Xianju Country by now," after a frantic run, Yun Sheng and her comrades were all exhausted, with the Charming Elf Butterfly dancing joyfully in the air. At the edge of Snow Forest Sea, several miles away, one could see a majestic Ice City shimmering like a fairytale palace under the clear sun, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colorful glints akin to beautiful colored glaze. Yuan Bupo always thought that Emperor Hong City was the true city beyond this world, but compared to the ice and snow city before his eyes, he, who came from Emperor Hong City, truly felt a sense of self-ashamed. The Elf Clan’s craftsmen, famously known along with the Elf Descendants, construct cities that are so beautiful they seem not of this human realm. The three of them were about to continue forward when suddenly, a sharp, piercing cry came from Little Red and Blue in the sky. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽 Following that, more than a hundred snow-white figures suddenly appeared in the sky. They were over a hundred Elf Archers, their white hair fluttering in the wind, each holding a Magic Bow. The one leading them had a face exquisite like an Ice Sculpture but radiated an icy cold demeanor. "Outlanders! What is your purpose in entering Xianju Country?" The Snow Forest Sea is not your ordinary forest sea; it is the product of the intelligence of the Elf Tribe’s ancestors, who set up an Illusion Array that ordinary people simply cannot pass through. For many years, Ice Waterfall City has relied on Snow Forest Sea to defend against outsiders as the outermost and primary defensive city of Xianju Country. But there are also some outsiders who inadvertently break through the forest’s Illusion Array and enter Ice Waterfall City. For those outsiders who accidentally trespass, the Elves, who dislike conflicts, would erase their memories and send them away. However, for those who attempt to pry into the sacred treasures of the Elf Clan, the Elves would imprison them forever in Ice Waterfall City. Therefore, the largest prison of the Elf Clan is also located in Ice Waterfall City. Even though these Elves look very beautiful, their faces are cold, and also this place is chilling to the bone. "We are here to find the Life Water," Xuan Meimei said, mistakenly thinking everything was now safe, and she couldn’t wait to find the Life Water and leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible. Upon hearing that, Yun Sheng almost cursed out loud. Most of the Elves seemingly do not understand the language of the Human Clan, but the captain who knows the language understood Xuan Meimei’s words. "Human thieves, seize them!" I’ve seen foolish, but never this foolish. By saying that, Xuan Meimei was like a robber who runs up to a policeman and yells, "This is a stick-up, hand over your gun!" The Life Water is the Holy Water of the Elf Clan, and even the Elf Royal Family cannot obtain much of it each year. Xuan Meimei, an invader, just bluntly asked for Life Water? Sure enough, the cold expressions of those Ice Clan Elf Archers sharpened, and the bows and arrows in their hands simultaneously shimmered with magical light. "Run!" Faced with a hundred experts in shooting from the Elf Clan Archers, there was virtually no need to think, Yun Sheng’s first reaction was to flee. Only to hear a "whoosh", a Magic Ice Arrow landed next to a rock by Yun Sheng. "Whoosh" another arrow, and that rock immediately exploded. Between those two arrows, a Magic Array quickly formed. Almost at the same time, Yun Sheng and Yuan Bupo, along with others, felt their Magic Soul stiffen, and they were enveloped by a strange sensation. Not good! Their Magic Soul was sealed! Cold sweat started to break out on the brows of the three of them. *A major twist will happen next, hehehe, prepare to smash your phones, off I go to write, happy National Day to everyone, and during the double monthly ticket period, my true loves, Kang Meng*
