As the restaurant was preparing to say goodbye to its final patron yesterday afternoon as the sun was setting, Ye Jieye's expression abruptly became icy and he turned to face the Death Forest. Mo Xuejing, who was standing next to him, saw the change in his countenance.
With a worried look on his face, Mo Xuejing asked, "Is something the matter?"
"Hm. Those guys broke through the borders of the middle and the core regions in the Death Forest," Ye Jieye said as he removed his apron tied to his waist.
Mo Xuejing was also aware of the peril at the borders of the Death Forest, which separate its middle and core regions. In fact, this area was well-known for the legend surrounding it, the trial of sins, which held that only those who successfully completed it would be permitted to enter the Death Forest's core region, and failure to do so would result in being lost in those borders.
