Li Han recovered for several hours in the hidden place, and his physical strength and spiritual strength gradually recovered, but he could still feel that the injury in his body had not yet healed. The bottle of mysterious potion did help him relieve the pain, but he knew that the effect was only temporary. The sky had become more gloomy, and the atmosphere in the forest had become more depressing, as if the whole world were shrouded in an invisible black mist. Li Han stood up and decided to continue to explore in depth, and he vaguely felt that if he wanted to leave this place, he must untie the curse here. He walked along a path almost covered by vines and weeds, and the trees around him grew low and twisted, as if eroded by some powerful force. The air was stifling with a scent of corruption. Li Han's steps suddenly stopped, and he noticed an unusual fluctuation ahead. It was a low singing, coming from the depths of the dense forest in the distance, and the sound was erratic as a ghost. "Someone?" Li Han's heart is a rin, quickly hidden behind a big tree, quietly observe the movement ahead. A moment later, a figure appeared from the darkness. It was a man in a black robe, holding a scepter with a strange glow in his hand, whispering some old mantra. Li Han noticed that the man's eyes were glazed, as if he had been manipulated by some force, and he did not realize his existence at all. "Control... ...?" Li Han narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the man's behavior. He soon discovered that the land under the man's feet was covered with complex matrix runes that were flashing a faint purple light, as if absorbing the surrounding psychic powers. Formation! Li Han's heart was shaken. He knew that the curse of the shadow forest was probably related to these formations. These formations not only maintain the power of the curse, but may also manipulate the actions of these mysterious characters. Just as Li Han thought about how to destroy this formation, the man suddenly stopped singing, his eyes flashing red, as if he had noticed something. He suddenly looked up and stared dead at Li Han's hidden direction. "It's been discovered!" Li Han's heart was tight, he quickly rushed out from behind the tree, and at the same time waved, a stone picked up on the ground hit the man hard. The stone cut an arc in the air, hitting the man's scepter with precision. Listening only to a muffled noise, the scepter suddenly broke and the light dissipated. The man covered his head in pain and seemed to be breaking free of some kind of control. Li Han did not give the other side a chance to recover, quickly approaching, a punch hit the man's chest, he fell to the ground. The man let out a low scream and fell to the ground, unable to get up again. "Who are you? Why are you here?" Li asked coldly, his eyes clawing at the man who had fallen to the ground. The man was pale and apparently hit hard. He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse: "Curse... ... Lift the curse... ... Don't touch... ... The altar... ..." Li Han frowned, and although the man's words were vague, he captured the key message - the altar. It seems that the heart of this dark forest is the altar. And the altar is probably the source of the curse. "Where is the altar?" Li Han asked. The man seemed to be delirious, looking at the sky with his eyes absent, and murmuring, "Altar... ... Deep in the forest... ... The Dark Heart... ... Destroy everything... ..." Li looked at him coldly and asked no more questions. He knew the man had no use for it. Just as he was about to get up and leave, suddenly, the man's body began to convulse violently, and then a black smoke poured out of his mouth and nose, instantly wrapping his body. "Bad!" Li Han reacted quickly and immediately retreated, trying to avoid the black mist. The black fog seemed conscious, spread rapidly, approaching Li Han. Li Han ducked quickly, but the black fog was so fast that he was besieged in almost an instant. There was a deep laugh in the dark mist, as if an evil spirit from hell: "You have broken into a place you should not have come." ... You'll be swallowed up by this curse... ..." Li Han felt a strong sense of oppression, he desperately operated the psychic power in his body, trying to resist the erosion of the black fog. However, there is a very powerful evil force in the black mist, which quickly corrupts his psychic power. "We can't go on like this... ..." Li Han gritted his teeth and quickly thought about the way out of his head. At this moment, it occurred to him that the grey-robed man had mentioned that the power of the shadow forest resonated with his breath. "Maybe... ..." Li Han concentrated all his spirit, guiding his spiritual power to his hands, and meditated on the exorcism he had learned in an ancient book. He clasped his hands together and jerked forward, his psychic powers gushing out like a flood, colliding violently with the black mist. The black mist made a piercing shriek, which seemed to be strongly pounded. The low laughter gradually dissipated, and finally, the black fog, like fireworks that had lost their strength, slowly dissipated, revealing Li's cold and sweaty face. Li Han gasped heavily and felt that his body's spiritual power had been exhausted and his body had become extremely weak. But he knew he was temporarily out of danger. He glanced at the body of the man, which had been reduced to ashes, and was secretly wary: "The power of this forest is far stronger than I thought." ... If the altar really exists, I must find it as soon as possible and destroy it." Li Han decided not to delay any longer, he walked deeper into the forest and headed straight for the "heart of darkness" known as The place.
