Chapter 75: The Terrifying Forest of Arcane
With a flash of extreme white light, Lin Shuang and the others arrived in the Forest of Arcane.
As soon as Lin Shuang and the others were teleported to the Forest of Arcane, they all assumed an offensive posture to defend against the sudden appearance of wild monsters and attacks.
However, when Lin Shuang and the others recovered their vision, they realized that the scene in front of them was completely different from what they had imagined.
They thought that the Forest of Arcane that had been corroded by the power of darkness for many years would be filled with animal corpses and withered trees, or all kinds of creatures infected by the dark energy would attack them the moment they descended.
However, what appeared in front of them now was a lush ancient tree that was at least a hundred meters tall and three meters wide. All kinds of flowers, green grass, butterflies, and bees were everywhere. They flew and played around. It was a quiet and peaceful scene filled with vitality.
It did not look like it had been corroded by dark energy at all.
Just as Lin Shuang and the others were puzzled, Qian Shanxue suddenly drew her bow and shot ten thousand arrows at the bushes not far away.
Fatty and the other two looked at Qian Shanxue, who was acting abnormally, and thought that she had been bewitched by something. Lu Wan hurriedly took out the Negativity Dispel Potion and wanted to dispel Qian Shanxue’s negativity status.
However, the moment Lu Wan took out the potion, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The originally lively primitive forest suddenly became even more terrifying than they had expected. The lush, hundred-meter-tall tree turned into dry charcoal that seemed to be devoured by a fire. The ground turned dark brown. There were no flowers or grass on it. There were only strange flowers with human faces and vines that slowly extended towards them like thin human hands. The clear stream in the distance had also turned into a blood-colored river that emitted a stench.
Lu Wan was frightened by the sudden change in scenery. She suppressed her fear and asked Lin Shuang, who was beside her, “Were we under an illusion just now, or are we under an illusion now?”
Lin Shuang pointed at the flower with a human face that kept emitting a strange aura with a solemn expression, indicating that this flower with a human face was the answer to Lu Wan’s question.
Lu Wan suppressed the fear in her heart. After concentrating on the Human Face Flower, its attribute interface appeared in front of her.

[Introduction: Originally, the vines accompanying the giggling flower existed to protect the giggling flower. As the giggling flower was corroded by the power of darkness, it also fell into the darkness. After paralyzing the prey with a numbing touch, it dragged it back to the ground of the demonized giggling flower and let it absorb the flesh and blood of the prey.]
Lu Wan looked at the giggling flower that had originally brought people beautiful memories but was corroded by dark energy into a dark creature that fed on the flesh and blood of living beings.
The kind-hearted Lu Wan revealed a regretful and angry expression. “The dark energy is too detestable. It actually made the giggling flower look like this. If the giggling flower still had intelligence and knew what it had done, it would probably collapse on the spot!”
Lin Shuang also looked at the demonized giggling flower field in front of him regretfully. However, he was different from Lu Wan. He felt that it was a pity that such a good medicinal herb like the giggling flower was ruined just like that.
Before he was reborn, there were several rare mental strength enhancement potions that needed the giggling flower as the raw material. Unfortunately, the giggling flowers at that time had long become endangered and scarce resources. There was no place to buy them even if he wanted to.
Just as Lin Shuang was feeling regretful, he suddenly thought of something. He was lucky and the probability of dropping something was high. If he destroyed this demonized giggling flower field, would the seeds of the giggling flower drop?
As soon as this thought appeared in Lin Shuang’s mind, it was like weeds that could no longer be suppressed. Then, he waved his hand and stopped Qian Shanxue, who was about to destroy the flower field. After indicating that he was going to do it, he took out the Sword of God and jumped into the flower field to start destroying it.
Then, everyone looked at Lin Shuang, who was killing wantonly in the flower field and laughing from time to time. Their faces were filled with confusion.
After Chu Feng poked Fatty, he asked him in a surprised tone, “Fatty, what’s wrong with Lin Shuang? Did he have this problem before?”
Fatty, who had been stabbed by Chu Feng, replied with a puzzled expression. “I didn’t know he had such a problem before. I’ve known him for so long, but I’ve never seen him like this.”
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Fatty and the others, Lin Shuang destroyed the entire flower field and returned to them happily.
However, Lin Shuang, who was originally in high spirits because of the drop of the giggling flower seeds, saw Fatty and the others looking at him strangely and immediately asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you guys? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Fatty carefully walked to Lin Shuang’s side and replied, “Lin Shuang, have you been feeling uncomfortable recently? Why don’t I take you to the hospital for a checkup?”
Fatty’s question stunned Lin Shuang on the spot. “What’s going on? I only went out to fight wild monsters for a few minutes. Do you think I’m sick?”
Hearing Lin Shuang’s question, Lu Wan stood up awkwardly and said to Lin Shuang with a concerned expression, “Lin Shuang, let’s go to the hospital for a checkup. If we find anything, we’ll definitely cure you.”
At this moment, Lin Shuang felt that his mind was filled with mush. He felt that he and Fatty and the others had become two different species. The language channel was not on the same line at all. “What the hell are you guys talking about! I’m not sick at all!”
Seeing that Lin Shuang was still quibbling, Fatty directly pointed out his abnormal performance just now. “Then tell me, why were you laughing happily while eliminating the wild monsters just now?!”
Hearing that everyone had misunderstood him because of his actions just now, Lin Shuang was instantly so angry that he laughed. He directly took out the seeds of the giggling flower from his backpack and showed them to everyone. “What the hell is this! I laughed happily because the seed of the giggling flower dropped. I’m not sick!!”
