Four Lifetimes Dream

Chapter 394 Ambition

Even though she had already anticipated the outcome, Li Sheng still couldn't remain calm after witnessing it all firsthand.

In his widened eyes, he saw a pile of white bones and corpses reflected in the water...

This is no longer a forest, it's clearly a hell!

Bones were scattered everywhere, and piles of not-yet-decomposed corpses lay together, filling the air with a stench...

It is said that the martial arts world has been in turmoil recently, with many people possessing extraordinary skills mysteriously disappearing...

But some people say they've gone into seclusion in the mountains, which is unexpected...

This is what they call "retreating to the mountains and forests"...

Besides those that had already turned into bones, there were several dried-up corpses on the ground.

It looked as if its life force had been drained, leaving only a wrinkled skin and skeleton, completely unrecognizable as human.

This situation reminded Li Sheng of the people in books describing strange and supernatural tales whose yang energy was drained by demons...

To be precise, this world can be considered a fictional world created within a book, and the world's setting does not include the existence of demons.

Therefore, the possibility of a demon has been ruled out; the only possibility is human intervention...

Thinking of this, Li Sheng felt a chill run down her spine.

The human heart is often more terrifying than demons and monsters!

She has grasped this principle in three lifetimes, including this one.

I thought I was used to it, but I never expected... every time I see it, I still can't help but feel moved and heartbroken.

There is no limit to the evil in human beings; there can only be more extreme cases.

It is said that you can't see into someone's heart, and you can know a person's face but not their heart. After three lifetimes, Li Sheng thought she had completely understood the true meaning of this saying.

However, it seems that I still don't understand the meaning of "human nature".

Some people are black from head to toe, inside and out, so black it's outrageous!

Suddenly, with a few swishing sounds, a flock of birds was startled in the previously peaceful forest. The crows scattered, their cries growing increasingly mournful.

"Tenth Elder..."

Li Sheng looked up at the sky. Startled birds were circling in the air, but none of them flew away.

"A cage..." The scene before her eyes brought two words to Li Sheng's mind.

This forest is like a giant cage; whether human or animal, there is no way out once you enter, no way back…

It seems that the strangeness of this place is much more complicated than I imagined.

Logically speaking, her blood had an effect on Bai Ling, making it much more sensitive than ordinary animals, and its perception shouldn't be wrong.

There must be a reason it brought her back to this place...

I must have overlooked something, but what exactly did I overlook?

Li Sheng closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down, and carefully sensed the movement of the wind and grass around her.

"Bai Ling, keep up!"

A moment later, Li Sheng's eyes did not open, but she moved.

The footsteps circled around the spot, then became faster and more chaotic, yet within this chaos seemed to carry a strange order!

"Awoo!" Bai Ling seemed to be responding to Li Sheng's words, following closely behind her.

With her eyes closed, Li Sheng's senses seemed to become more acute, and every chaotic and eerie step she took was as if she were stepping on some kind of mechanism.

When she stopped walking and opened her eyes again, the scene in front of her was no longer the same as before.

"cliff……"

Looking at the scene before her, Li Sheng took a step back.

The cliff in front of her was bottomless and a vast expanse of white. If she had taken another step forward, she would have already fallen to her death!

The array, the traps, and the deceptive illusions were quite sophisticated techniques; even she herself almost fell into their trap.

Li Sheng sneered inwardly, thinking, "They really squeezed every last drop of value out of Jing Han!"

If Jing Han knew that the two idiots he brought with him when he came into this world finally became "smart" for once after his death, would he feel gratified?

Putting everything else aside, they've certainly mastered the art of ambition, to the point that they've even surpassed their predecessors!
