Soon, Gu Chengming and his companions saw a forest in front of them. Every tree was extremely thick.

But the color of the trees is obviously different from the ones I saw when I first came to this world. Although they are about the same size, the trees here are full of vitality, and every leaf seems to be reborn.

The woods near the school were gray and looked dead.

"Be careful," Gu Chengming felt many gazes the moment he entered the forest. Haoyue appeared silently from behind everyone and then disappeared into the forest.

Hongyu on the side tightly grasped the machete in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and looked around nervously. After entering the forest, Hongyu and Shi Changxun were already standing in the front.

As for the task of carrying Jiang Zhilin, it was given to two tall-looking male classmates.

Not long after walking, the road ahead was blocked by thorns, and other places were surrounded by huge trees. The only road ahead was the one in front of me.

Seeing this, Hongyu and Shi Changxun picked up their machetes and continued to clear a path ahead.

This is strange. If there was something blocking the way ahead, how did Garo get through? Gu Chengming thought as he looked at the large patch of thorns in front of him. He saw some empty spaces. Garo in the shadow state seemed to have no sense of pain. He should have rushed through.

"Gu Chengming!" Shen Nanqing's voice suddenly came from the back of the team.

Gu Chengming looked back and found Shen Nanqing running towards him in a hurry, and Zhou Nanxing beside him also looked anxious.

"Don't be anxious, take a deep breath, and speak slowly."

Shen Nanqing took a breath and said, "Two of our students are missing."

"What?" Gu Chengming felt that the situation was not good when he heard this, and hurriedly called back Hongyu and the other person. When he walked back, he saw Jiang Yingxue and Lin Muyao still looking around vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yingxue asked in confusion when she saw Gu Chengming, who was walking in front, come to the back.

"A student is missing."

"what!"

"Don't you feel anything?" Gu Chengming frowned.

"No",

Just when Gu Chengming was about to ask Lin Muyao who was standing beside him, a scream was heard.

Gu Chengming immediately ran over there and saw a student turned into gas and disappeared on the spot in front of everyone.

"Everyone gather together!" Gu Chengming and his companions surrounded the students in the center.

He closed his eyes and emanated his consciousness, but everything around him seemed normal, with no signs of life.

"What is going on?" Hongyu said standing aside.

This was the first time that Gu Chengming had encountered this kind of thing. A living person disappeared out of thin air. The unknown was the most terrifying thing.

"Chengming, I found something wrong," Shi Changxun said suddenly.

It's only noon now, and the sun should be directly above us outside. But look at its position, it's obviously about to set.

"I'm not saying this is a different world. It's possible that it's different from where we are originally from," said Hongyu.

"No, I observed some time ago that the orbit of the sun in this world is the same as that in our original world."

Hongyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Gu Chengming.

"Changxun, please continue."

"If my conclusion is correct, the environment we are in now is false. In simple terms, we are now in an illusion and we need to solve the source of the illusion."

Hearing this, Gu Chengming closed his eyes. He found that his contact with Haoyue had been cut off at some point.

He began to circulate the dark power in his body, pouring it all out, and suddenly found that the skin on one side suddenly trembled.

"Xue'er, Muyao, release the divine energy in your body."

After hearing this, the two began to circulate the divine energy in their bodies. They saw three kinds of gases, light black, light blue, and dark blue, surrounding the area, and the surrounding environment was constantly vibrating.

Gu Chengming also contacted Haoyue in the next second, and Haoyue rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

As soon as they arrived here, they found that they were surrounded by thorns, and they all stood there motionless.

When it saw it, it rushed forward and stretched out several thorns to try to wrap it up, but Haoyue dodged them.

Seeing that there were more and more thorns on Gu Chengming's body, Haoyue's eyes turned red instantly, and he went berserk and rushed forward.

He tore the thorns blocking the way into pieces in a few strokes, rushed to the crowd and got rid of all the thorns on his body. Seeing the prey escape from his hands, the thorns also revealed their true colors.

A creature that looked very much like a Piranha plant emerged from the ground, with a big red mouth full of sharp teeth and a body covered with thorns.

If Gu Chengming saw it, he would definitely recognize it. This is a thorn tree demon. It is good at confusing its opponents, but its frontal ability is not strong.

After seeing the target, Haoyue rushed straight up, and the thorn tentacles surrounded him from all directions, but Haoyue's speed was obviously faster.

The thorn tree demon sensed something was wrong and was about to burrow into the ground, but was grabbed tightly by one of Haoyue's wolf claws.

Haoyue let out a roar, lifted it up, and with his other hand directly pierced the big red head, then slashed downwards, and a large amount of bright red liquid sprayed out, and wherever the liquid touched was corroded. The thick trunk of a tree suddenly had many big holes, and the surrounding flowers and plants quickly died.

Haoyue's entire body merged into the liquid. After it let out its last roar, it turned into a ball of black gas floating in the air.

At the moment the thorn tree demon died, everyone was also freed from the illusion.

When Gu Chengming opened his eyes, he found many more thorns on the ground. The next second, he also felt Haoyue's death.

"Ah~", a female student in the team uttered a sound, and then she reacted and covered her mouth tightly with one hand. Her whole body couldn't stop shaking. She took a few steps back and sat on the ground, pointing to a place with her trembling hand.

Everyone looked over there and discovered three corpses hidden in the bushes not far away. They were mummies, for all the moisture on their bodies had been sucked out, and they stared ahead in horror with wide eyes.

From their clothes, they could be identified as fellow members of their team.

"Damn it, why would this happen?" Zhou Nanxing was so angry when he saw his classmate, whom he had been with day and night, turned into a corpse in the next second, and punched a tree trunk.

"Chengming, can I bury their bodies here?" Shen Nanqing asked as he walked over with red eyes.

Gu Chengming was a little hesitant. His reason told him to leave immediately, but looking at the situation of those students made him hesitate a little.

Suddenly, a huge snake head emerged from the jungle on one side, and the moment Gu Chengming saw it, he shouted.

"Run fast",

As he said that, he immediately ran forward. This was a Salamandra, a creature that was almost at the Earth Martial Realm.
