"Are you saying that you have no idea why you’ve turned out like this?" Mo Jiuli asked Ding Dabao.

"Yes, at that time I just wanted to find Wangcai, I just didn’t want to die, but who would’ve thought that choosing to live meant staying here like this, as good as dead, and now even wishing to die is an unattainable luxury!" Ding Dabao said sadly.

"And those who came in with you?" Guardian Hua asked Ding Dabao curiously.

"Over there!" Ding Dabao looked towards the left side of Guardian Hua and said.

When Mo Jiuli and the others looked to the left, they indeed saw several tree-bodied, human-faced individuals from the Human Clan, who, unsurprisingly, appeared devoid of any fighting spirit, looking utterly hopeless...

"We’ve been here for almost thirty years, countless times wanting to die, yet finding ourselves still alive, how pathetic!" Ding Dabao said with a tone of self-mockery.

"If you don’t want to end up like us, you should try to return the way you came as soon as possible now that you’ve just entered! By the second night, you won’t be able to leave anymore..." Ding Dabao said, looking at Mo Jiuli and the others.

"Do you know why you’ve become like this?" Mo Jiuli asked.

"We only know that those who enter here don’t survive beyond three days, only on the first night if you leave, you can escape One Tribulation, but by the second day, forget about leaving. Moreover, what exists inside is incredibly powerful, even a sigh from that entity causes excruciating pain throughout our bodies, a pain so severe it reaches the soul, unbearable..." Ding Dabao pondered and said.

"However, we’ve heard before we entered that seemingly no one has ever come out of here alive..." Mo Jiuli mused aloud.

"It’s indeed difficult, but isn’t your array formation very powerful? I noticed you took just one day to get here. If you want to leave, maybe one daytime might be enough because the array formation to exit increases in difficulty tenfold compared to when you came in, so even those who heeded our advice and tried to return couldn’t get out..." Ding Dabao said, looking at Mo Jiuli.

He harbors no intent to harm; he’s here to stop others from venturing further, but whenever he encounters people able to enter, he honestly tells them and advises them to go back. Even if they can’t get out, he doesn’t want to cause too many deaths. Of course, not everyone listens to reason, and there’s little he can do about those who persist despite his warnings. In any case, his attacks aren’t under his control; as long as he has spoken and done what he can, he is without regret in his conscience!

Mo Jiuli looked into Ding Dabao’s eyes and knew he was telling the truth, yet this made her more intrigued by the entity inside, and even Yun Xia was curious and eager to know what exactly was inside, whether it was humans or the Plant-type Beast Clan...

"Thank you for the warning, but I’m more interested in what’s inside. If possible, I hope you fare well..." Mo Jiuli said to Ding Dabao.

"Suit yourselves, I’ve said all there is to say!" Ding Dabao was slightly stunned by Wenyan, then promptly replied.

"Hmm, farewell then!" Mo Jiuli said, and with that, she lifted her legs and walked forward. Ding Dabao instinctively wanted to block Mo Jiuli but was held back by Yun Xia’s branches.

Then, Mo Jiuli and the others swiftly bypassed Ding Dabao, and Yun Xia finally released the branches holding Ding Dabao,
