"John, just from the name, [blazing plains] sounds really hot, doesn't it? I hate the heat... Can't we just skip this place? Not every dungeon needs to be our first clear, right? I actually think it's nice to let other players have a go."
Exiled Immortal sighed, looking at the increasingly dense forest around them with some confusion.
"Also, are we really heading toward the blazing plains in this direction?"
"Of course not. There's something we need to do before we leave."
John turned to face Qing and Lily, speaking seriously, "Qing, Lily, and I still haven't obtained our second class change stones. Before we set off, we need to go through the Whispering Forest."
"No wonder. The Whispering Forest... it must be pretty terrifying, right?"
"It's indeed a bit terrifying, but only for outsiders. To the elves, the Whispering Forest is a sacred place."
