Chapter 660 What should I do?

Mu Xin looked at the reactions of Leng Yue's parents and felt relieved. He said gratefully, "Uncle Leng, Aunt Leng, thank you for your understanding and support."

After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks on the table again, picked up a piece of food mechanically and put it into her mouth.

At this moment, what occupied her mind most was not the taste of the food, but the thoughts on how to deal with the crisis next and the worries about the future fate of Yunluo Continent.

After quickly finishing their meal, Mu Xin and Leng Yue did not dare to delay for a moment. They both stood up and began to pack their bags.

Everything is ready, and we will set off on our return journey immediately, heading to Mengling City as quickly as possible.

Yue Ziyan was full of concern as she carefully packed all kinds of food for Mu Xin and Leng Yue, saying over and over again, "Xinxin, Yue'er, take these foods with you on the road, don't go hungry."

Her eyes were filled with deep reluctance and concern. "No matter what difficulties you encounter, you two must take good care of each other and come back safely!"

Mu Xin stood aside, looking at Yue Ziyan's caring look, his eyes gradually became moist.

She nodded vigorously, her voice choking with sobs as she said, "Uncle Leng, Aunt Leng, don't worry, Leng Yue and I will take good care of ourselves and come back to see you safely and smoothly."

After saying that, Mu Xin turned to look at Leng Yue beside him, and the two exchanged firm glances.

Afterwards, Mu Xin and Leng Yue turned around side by side, walked out of Cuizhuxuan, and resolutely embarked on the journey back to Mengling City.

On the other side, Xu Yi, Lu Yanchen and Chu Moxiao were sitting on the broad and solid back of the flying beast, speeding all the way.

They crossed high mountains and steep cliffs, swept across vast plains, and traveled day and night without slacking off for the moment.

After two days and two nights of non-stop arduous journey, the dark forest finally appeared before them.

From afar, the dark forest looks like a sleeping beast, lying quietly on the horizon.

As they got closer, a cold and damp breath hit them in the face, as if it could freeze anyone's soul.

This forest is truly worthy of its name, shrouded in a thick layer of tranquility, while also exuding a faint eerie atmosphere.

I saw those ancient and tall trees towering into the clouds, and their lush branches and leaves intertwined with each other, forming a huge natural dome that almost completely blocked the sky.

The sunlight could only shine through the gaps between the layers of leaves with difficulty, turning into tiny golden spots, like countless delicate and small golden puzzle pieces scattered on the ground.

However, behind this seemingly beautiful scene, there are hidden unknown dangers and secrets.

The whole forest was filled with a light mist, like wisps of smoke, lingering and making everything around seem hazy and unreal.

But if you look closely, you will find that the mist is not ordinary water vapor, but is mixed with a gloomy and terrifying black air that makes people feel depressed and even difficult to breathe normally.

There is no doubt that this black air is resentment - condensed from the resentment of countless creatures, containing powerful and evil power.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if the whole world was shrouded in a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.

Apart from the occasional shrill cries of unknown birds and animals coming from the distance, no other sounds could be heard.

This brief sound was like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky, but in an instant it returned to deathly silence, leaving only a chilling aftereffect lingering in the air.

Xu Yi, Lu Yanchen and Chu Moxiao rode on flying beasts, circling in the air looking for a suitable landing place.

Xu Yi looked down sharply, and suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Look, that patch of grass is relatively flat. Let's land there."

Lu Yanchen nodded in agreement: "Okay, there."

The three of them drove the flying beast to slowly descend.

When my feet stepped on solid ground again, a sense of security came over me, but at the same time I couldn't dispel the weird atmosphere that permeated the surroundings.

After the three of them put away their flying beasts, they began to walk.

Ahead was a dense, criss-crossed bush with thorns growing everywhere, making the road rugged and difficult to navigate.

They had to carefully push aside the branches and leaves and move through them with difficulty.

After some effort, I finally walked out of the bush.

The view in front of them suddenly became clear, and they saw a large camp appearing before them.

This is the base of various forces such as Cangluo Holy Academy, Beilan College, Yunhai College, Yaosheng Valley and Alchemy Sect. Tents stand neatly and orderly in a relatively open clearing in the forest.

Most of these tents are made of plain canvas, which looks tough and thick and can withstand wind and rain.

The edges of the tent are firmly fixed to the ground with thick ropes, so that it can stand firm even in strong winds.

There are also some simple defensive formations set up around the camp.

Although these magic arrays seem simple, they emit weak fluctuations of spiritual power, forming an invisible barrier that keeps out all kinds of dangers that may be lurking in the forest.

At this moment, in the main tent of Cangluo Holy Temple, the lights are on, and the layout is simple yet grand.

Dean Yun Potian was sitting in front of a huge wooden table, surrounded by several respected elders.

An ancient scroll was spread out on the table, with several yellowed ancient books beside it.

Everyone's faces looked extremely solemn, their brows were furrowed, their eyes were fixed on the items on the table, and from time to time they shook their heads slightly and let out heavy sighs.

They are discussing enthusiastically how to deal with the growing resentment in the forest, but no effective solution seems to have been found yet.

Dean Yun Potian's expression was filled with deep worry, and his voice was low and hoarse: "The Dark Forest is becoming more and more rampant, eroding the minds of countless creatures."

"If we don't find a proper solution to this problem, it will probably breed more troubles. Not only will people have resentment in their bodies, but even their spiritual energy will gradually dry up. This will not only threaten the surrounding towns, but may even affect the entire Yunluo Continent."

Dean Yun Potian had a solemn expression, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his deep eyes revealed endless worry.

The fingers of his right hand tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound, and each tap seemed to hit everyone's tense heartstrings.

The fourth elder sighed and said with a worried look on his face, "Yes, Dean, I have carefully read countless books. Although there have been cases of resentment in the past, it is rare to see such a serious situation this time."

"In my humble opinion, the conventional methods of expelling resentment are unlikely to have any substantial effect. We must find another way and some special ways to hope to resolve this crisis."

Before the fourth elder finished speaking, the third elder spoke worriedly, "Before this, this elder led our disciples of Cangluo Holy Academy to patrol deep into the hinterland. The monsters we saw all had red eyes and were manic and bloodthirsty."

"And the vegetation is also languishing, lifeless, as if its soul has been drained away. If this continues, the spiritual energy will gradually dry up. What should we do?"

After saying this, he raised his hand and gently stroked his chest, his face full of worry, as if the resentment had made it difficult for him to breathe.
