Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1361 - 1292: Beautiful Trees
Next, Huang Yi and the Pope continued their journey, transforming into two phantoms, rushing towards the peak of the mountain.
After moving forward for a while, Huang Yi and the Pope finally left the rocky area, and ahead was a dense pink forest, stretching beyond sight.
In the past, the forests they encountered were mostly green or other common plant colors, but the forest before them was an ambiguous pink.
The trees were also peculiar, with enchanting shapes, and the trunks split into two, resembling a woman’s beautiful legs, in a graceful pose.
Huang Yi and the Pope exchanged a glance, tread lightly, gripped their weapons, and entered the pink forest with full vigilance.
Upon entering the forest, Huang Yi suddenly heard faint sounds of a woman’s coquettish laughter. The sound was full of allure, as if a lovely woman were teasing by his ear, but in a flash, it became inaudible.
"Did you hear a woman’s laughter?" Huang Yi turned to look at the Pope.
"I heard it, but I can’t pinpoint where it’s coming from!" The Pope nodded, "Besides that, there’s also a faint fragrance in the air."
Huang Yi sniffed, finally faintly detecting a scent, which was unique and inexplicably made his body feel a sense of heat.
"It’s a woman’s scent; men react once they smell it." The Pope smiled slightly, adding a remark.
"A woman’s scent?" Huang Yi was stunned, "How do you know?"
The Pope’s eyes were full of charm, as if savoring something, and said, "You probably haven’t experienced much in that regard, right? But I’m different, I took the final step with my first girlfriend at sixteen, and since then, I couldn’t stay away from women. Over the past ten years, I’ve been through all sorts of women, and I’m very familiar with a woman’s scent. Although the fragrance of women differs through various skin tones and environments, there’s still a commonality. The fragrance in this forest made me react at a sniff; it is a woman’s scent, no doubt about it."
"I see, I really lack experience in this part." Huang Yi lowered his head, blushing as he spoke. This topic was still too raw for him as he hadn’t experienced such things in real life.
"No worries, you’ll gain experience in the future! Once a man is tainted by a woman, it’s like being tainted by a drug; he can never kick the habit." The Pope patted Huang Yi’s shoulder, like a seasoned advisor giving guidance to a junior. He turned his head, looking around, and continued: "The Seventh Sin is Greed · Lust, we’ve heard the laughter of women, and smelled a woman’s scent, perfectly aligning with this challenge’s theme. It seems we’ve entered the domain of the Seventh Challenge!"
Having said that, he again thrust the Thunderbolt Staff in his hand towards the sky, casting the [Eye of Thunder] skill.
A bolt of red and white lightning immediately shot out from the staff, piercing upwards, quickly spreading into an electric mesh covering the area, bringing a large portion of the pink forest into his perception range.
The Pope squinted, perceiving for a long time, finally shaking his head, frowning, "I couldn’t perceive the end of this pink forest, nor detect anything unusual inside. It seems we have to find clues in another way."
Huang Yi and the Pope continued forward, turning their heads left and right, searching carefully as they walked.
During their advancement, sultry women’s laughter occasionally rang out, the sounds were elusive, unsure of their origin. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
After searching for a long time, both were still empty-handed in this pink forest.
The rankings showed that the Heavenly Demon and others still had not made progress on the Seventh Challenge boss, indicating they too should be trapped within the pink forest, failing to find the boss.
"It would be great if we encountered an NPC, as they are often guides, who through actions and words, can help us find clues." At this time, the Pope leaned against a tree trunk, reaching out to touch the leg-like trunk, saying, "But, this forest only has these trees, if these trees could speak, it would be great! Alas, they are plants and cannot speak."
"Hmm? Plants... speaking..." At that moment, Huang Yi suddenly paused, these words flashed like a light in his mind.
He immediately extended his left hand, patting his right shoulder, saying, "Qing Yun, come out quickly!"
Soon, a blue little mushroom began to wriggle from his arm. The mushroom cap had a cute little head underneath, the cap resembling a small hat, but its lower body was still embedded in Huang Yi’s flesh.
"Aiya! I was sleeping!" The little guy said drowsily, in a muddled state.
"Eh? What is this?! It’s so cute!" The Pope was dumbfounded, his eyes lit up, looking enchanted, wanting to touch it but dared not, like a cat lover seeing a cute kitten, eager to pet it but afraid to scare it away.
"This is a Blue Elf! It was originally a Spirit of Vegetation from the First World. I met it on a magical island some time ago." Huang Yi briefly introduced.
This blue little mushroom was indeed one of the Blue Elves he encountered some time ago on the peculiar Barbarian Turtle Island in the Southern Hemisphere’s ocean.
The Blue Elves had escaped from the First World, initially destined to be offered to the Barbarian God’s avatar at the temple but they later fled, inadvertently arriving at the Barbarian Turtle Island, being trapped there for countless ages. After meeting Huang Yi, to leave the island, they chose to commit suicide, turning into ordinary Swan Mushrooms, brought out by Huang Yi, later being planted on various flesh bodies for resurrection. Among them, Qing Yun, this Blue Elf, was planted on Huang Yi’s original body.
