Li Han's steps were light and silent, and he walked through the dense forest, as if he were one with the darkness. The trees around them were tall and old, with crisscrossed branches and leaves, obscuring most of the skylight, making the light in the forest appear unusually dim. And as he deepened, the coldness in the air became more and more obvious. He is always vigilant and ready to deal with possible dangers. Although previous battles had physically injured him, his years of experience as an assassin made it clear that rest could only be done in an absolutely safe place. At the moment, this dense forest is clearly not a safe place. Li Han noticed that although the trees in the forest seem ordinary, when you look closely, you can find that some ancient runes are vaguely engraved on the trunk. The runes are complex and eerie in shape, emitting faint psychic fluctuations, as if telling the secret of this dense forest. "What has happened here... ..." Li Han whispered to himself, fingertips paddled over the trunk, feeling the faint energy from the rune. He felt that the runes did not seem to have been naturally generated, but rather from some ancient ritual or prohibition. As he continued, Li Han found several dilapidated architectural remains hidden deep in dense forests, almost integrated with trees. The buildings were crumbling, the stone walls were moss-covered, and only some of the carvings, which had not yet been completely eroded, vaguely revealed their former glory. "This used to be the stronghold of a certain force... ..." Li Han judged that his heart was more curious about the origin of this place. But he knew that this was not the time to delve deeper, and that the most important thing was to find a safe place to rest and heal. As he was about to continue his exploration, a very slight movement came from behind, almost imperceptible. Li Han's nerves tense for an instant, he did not hesitate to hide sideways behind a large tree, quietly observing the source of the movement. A figure appeared quietly where he had just stood. It was a man in a gray robe, thin and hooded, his face invisible. The other party apparently perceived Li Han's existence and stood still, not eager to find or attack. "Come out, don't hide." The grey-robed man's tone was calm, and there was a hint of indifference in his voice. "If I wanted to do it, you'd be a dead man by now." Li Han did not act rashly, but he knew that the other side could approach himself silently and without stopping, and he must be very strong. He quickly assessed the current situation in his mind, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to show up temporarily. "Who are you? Why are you following me?" Li Han came out from behind the tree and stared coldly at each other. The Grey-robed man looked up slightly, showed a pair of sharp eyes, and sneered, "I am not following you, but the guardian here." You've broken into a place you shouldn't have come." "Guardians?" Li Han's heart moved, it seems that this person knows the situation here. "Where is this place? Why are there monsters? Why are you guarding here?" The Grey-robed man did not answer immediately, but looked up and down at Li Han a few eyes, as if judging whether he was trustworthy. After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth: "This is the shadow forest, once the secret stronghold of one of the most powerful psionic organizations in the metaphysics." But that organization is long gone, and I am the gravekeeper, and the abandoned experimental product." "Experimental products... ..." Li Han instantly understood the origin of what he called the monster, "What kind of experiments have you conducted here?" The Grey-robed man was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer. Eventually, he whispered, "We tried to blend ancient psychic powers with modern technology to create super warriors that could change the game." But things got out of hand, the experimental product ate back, and the whole tissue was destroyed. The monsters you meet are the remnants of the experiment." After Li Han listened, he felt a chill deep inside. One of the most powerful psionic organizations in the realm has gone to destruction because of its own experiments. This made him think of the betrayal he had experienced, perhaps with some connection between the two. "Why are you still here?" Li Han asked, "The organization has perished, what are you still guarding?" The grey-robed man smiled coldly, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Guard? I have nothing to protect anymore. I'm here just to keep more people from stepping into this cursed land and repeating it." Li Han was silent for a moment, then said, "I am not here to find this place, but was brought here." I need to get my strength back, and then I'll leave, and it won't bother you." The grey-robed man stared at Li Han, with a complex look in his eyes: "You have an unusual breath that seems to resonate with the forces here." I don't know who you are or what kind of story you have behind you, but I can give you a piece of advice -- get out of here as soon as possible, or you'll be in deeper danger." Li Han did not respond, but his heart was more determined to leave here. The Grey-robed man looked at him, seemed not to intend to say anything more, and turned to leave. But before he left, he suddenly dropped a bottle of potion and said coldly, "This is what you need, it can help you recover from your injury for a while." Don't waste any more time." With that, his figure disappeared into the darkness, as if it had never appeared. Li Han picked up the potion, carefully observed the liquid in the bottle, and finally decided to try it. He poured the medicine into his mouth, suddenly felt a warm current spread in the body, the pain of the wound quickly reduced, the flow of spiritual power also became more Li Han's footsteps light and silent, he walked through the dense forest, as if blended with darkness.

He poured the medicine into his mouth, and suddenly felt a warm current spread in the body, the pain of the wound quickly decreased, and the flow of spiritual power became smoother. "It seems that he did not mean any harm... ..." Li Han thought secretly in his heart, but also full of curiosity about this gray-robed man. 'the secret is clearly hidden in this dense forest 'and this mysterious 'guardian' Maybe he knows more than he reveals. But for now, he must prioritize his physical strength before making plans. Li Han found a hidden place in the forest, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his breath to recover. Despite the crisis of this place, his will is like iron, and he will never give in easily. In the darkness, the distant whisper was still echoing, as if waiting for the next hunt. ... Smooth. "It seems that he did not mean any harm... ..."
