"Transmigrating to Embrace the Beautiful Snake"

Chapter 380: An Absurd Adventure in the Strange Forest

After leaving Qiqu Town, Liu Yu and the others continued their journey. That day, they entered a mysterious forest. The moment they stepped inside, a damp wind, carrying a hint of mystery, blew against their faces, seemingly whispering ancient and enigmatic secrets that sent chills down their spines.

As soon as they entered the forest, Pigsy tripped over a drooping branch and fell face-first into the mud. "Ouch, what a damn branch! It's always messing with me!" Pigsy grumbled as he got up, his round face covered in mud and leaves, looking utterly disheveled. He kept brushing the mud off himself, muttering, "This wretched place, the path is so hard to walk on, I'm having the worst luck ever!"

Xiaoqing covered her mouth and laughed non-stop: "Bajie, you don't even watch where you're walking, you're like a headless fly." Her laughter was crisp and melodious, and it sounded particularly loud in the quiet forest.

Pigsy glared at Little Green, muttering, "You little brat, all you do is make fun of me. When I find something delicious, I won't share it with you."

The group continued onward, a thin mist hanging over the forest, blurring their vision. The mist seemed alive, swirling around them, sometimes gathering into clumps, sometimes drifting away. Strange shadows could be vaguely seen within the mist, sending chills down their spines.

Suddenly, Liu Yu felt something land on his head. He reached up and touched it, and it turned out to be a huge caterpillar. The caterpillar was plump and covered in colorful downy hairs, and it felt soft to the touch, but Liu Yu was terrified. "Ah!" Liu Yu was so frightened that he quickly threw the caterpillar away, his voice trembling and his face turning deathly pale.

The caterpillar traced an arc through the air and landed squarely on Pigsy's back. "What's that?" Pigsy turned his head and jumped up in fright. "Oh my god, this big caterpillar!" He jumped and waved his hands, trying to shake the caterpillar off. His fat body bounced around in the forest, causing the leaves around him to fall.

The caterpillar seemed enraged and began spraying a green liquid. The liquid emitted a pungent odor that made anyone who smelled it dizzy. "Oh no, run!" Liu Yu shouted, his voice filled with terror. He grabbed Bai Suzhen's hand and turned to run.

The group ran wildly through the forest, with the caterpillars in hot pursuit. Their footsteps echoed through the woods, startling flocks of birds. The birds flapped their wings and chirped as if mocking their disarray.

As they ran, they came to a stream. The water was crystal clear, revealing the stones at the bottom and small fish swimming around. The stream flowed gently, making a clear, melodious sound, as if telling the secrets of the forest. "Quick, let's cross the river!" Liu Yu said, jumping into the water and splashing up a spray. His clothes were instantly soaked, but he didn't care; he just wanted to get rid of that horrible caterpillar as quickly as possible.

The others followed suit and jumped in. Pigsy, being too fat, struggled in the water for a long time but didn't swim very far. "Pigsy, hurry up!" Little Green called anxiously, her face full of worry. She swam nimbly in the water, like a beautiful mermaid.

After finally crossing the river, the caterpillar was finally shaken off. Exhausted, Pigsy collapsed to the ground, panting heavily: "Oh dear, I'm so tired!" His belly heaved like a giant bellows, and sweat dripped incessantly from his forehead.

Just then, a brightly colored bird flew over and perched on a tree. Its feathers, in all their vibrant colors, shimmered in the sunlight, as if woven from the finest silk. Its eyes, like two bright gems, sparkled with lively light. "This bird is so beautiful!" Bai Suzhen exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with delight. She gently raised her hand, trying to approach the bird.

Hearing someone praise it, the bird actually spoke: "Of course, I am the most beautiful bird in this forest." Its voice was clear and melodious, with a hint of pride. It spread its wings, displaying its beautiful feathers.

Everyone was stunned. "A bird can actually talk!" Liu Yu exclaimed, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg. He stared at the bird in disbelief, his eyes wide.

"You're making a fuss over nothing. Not only can I talk, but I also know many secrets of this forest." The bird proudly shook its feathers, as if showing off its uniqueness. It tilted its head, looking at Liu Yu and the others with curiosity in its eyes.

"Then can you tell us how to get out of this forest?" Liu Yu asked, his eyes filled with expectation. He looked at the bird, hoping to get useful information from it.

The bird blinked: "Sure, but you have to do me a favor first." It tilted its head, looking at Liu Yu and the others, a hint of anxiety in its eyes.

"What kind of help?" Liu Yu asked anxiously. He was eager to leave this mysterious and dangerous forest as soon as possible.

"Help me find my lost gem, it's nearby," the bird said, a hint of anxiety in its eyes. It hopped from branch to branch, looking very uneasy.

Having no other choice, the others agreed to help. They searched the forest, and Pigsy accidentally fell into a large pit. "Help!" Pigsy's cries for help echoed through the forest, his voice filled with anguish. He struggled desperately at the bottom of the pit, trying to climb out.

Hearing the cries for help, Liu Yu and the others rushed over. Seeing Zhu Bajie's disheveled state at the bottom of the pit, Xiao Qing couldn't help but laugh again: "Bajie, what happened to you? You can even fall into a pit while walking."

Pigsy looked aggrieved: "I didn't want to either! This pit just appeared out of nowhere, I didn't even see it."

It took Liu Yu and the others a lot of effort to pull him up. Pigsy was covered in mud, looking like a mud monkey. "I, Old Pig, am truly unlucky," Pigsy complained, his face full of helplessness. He tried to brush the mud off himself, but only got dirtier.

Just when they were about to despair, Xiaoqing found the gem. "It's here!" Xiaoqing shouted excitedly, her voice echoing through the forest. She held the gem in her hand, which sparkled mesmerizingly in the sunlight.

They gave the gem to the bird, and the bird kept its promise, showing them the way. "Follow this path, and you'll find your way out of the forest," the bird said, then flapped its wings and flew away. It circled once in the air, as if bidding them farewell.

Following the direction the bird pointed, they walked for a short while and then encountered another enormous tree. On the trunk of this tree was a face, its expression solemn and mysterious. Its eyes were deep and ancient, as if they could see through everything.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my territory!" the tree roared, its voice deep and resonant, causing the leaves to rustle. The branches swayed as if expressing its anger.

"We were just passing through and wanted to leave this forest," Liu Yu explained, his attitude very sincere. He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to the tree, hoping to gain its understanding.

"Hmph, if you want to go over, you'll have to answer one question first," the tree said, its tone full of authority. Its leaves rustled, as if urging Liu Yu to answer quickly.

"What's the problem?" Liu Yu asked. He was a little nervous, wondering what kind of problem this tree would pose.

"Why don't the stars fall from the sky?" The tree's voice echoed through the forest. This question made everyone ponder deeply, and they all began to rack their brains to think about it.

The group looked at each other, stumped by this. They began to rack their brains, while Pigsy scratched his head, muttering to himself, "What should we do? I, Old Pig, can't answer this." He paced back and forth, scratching his ears and cheeks in frustration.

Xiaoqing frowned, gazing at the sky, trying to find answers in the stars. Bai Suzhen closed her eyes, lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu said, "Because stars have their own orbits, just like we have our own paths to walk." His voice was firm and confident. He looked at the big tree, hoping his answer would satisfy it.

The tree laughed heartily, "You're smart, go ahead." A satisfied smile appeared on the face on the trunk. The branches also stopped swaying and made way for them.

They continued walking when they suddenly heard a strange song. The song was melodious and beautiful, yet it also carried a hint of eeriness. The song seemed to come from a distant place, making one want to find its source.

Following the sound of singing, I discovered a group of little dwarfs singing and dancing. The dwarfs were dressed in colorful clothes and wore pointed hats, looking very cute. Their faces were beaming with joy, and their steps were light and lively.

The dwarves saw them and warmly invited them to join them. "Come on, dance with us!" said one of the dwarves. He took Liu Yu's hand and pulled him onto the dance floor.

Pigsy joined in the dancing, his clumsy antics making everyone burst into laughter. His body swayed from side to side like a rolling ball. His dance steps were chaotic yet full of joy.

Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were also infected by the joyful atmosphere and joined the dancing. Everyone danced to their hearts' content in the forest, forgetting all their worries and fatigue.

After playing for a while, Liu Yu and his companions continued on their way. As they walked, they discovered that their path was blocked by a massive wall of thorns. The thorns were dense and covered in sharp spikes, making them a formidable sight. Each thorn was like a sharp sword, gleaming with a cold light.

"What should we do?" Xiaoqing said worriedly, her brows furrowed and her face full of anxiety. She tried to approach the thorny wall, but the thorns scratched her fingers.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's try using fire." A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He took out a tinderbox from his backpack, preparing to light the thorns.

So they lit a fire, intending to burn the thorns. But to their surprise, as soon as the fire started, the thorns began to writhe and shriek. "These thorns have become spirits!" Pigsy exclaimed, terrified, hiding behind Bai Suzhen, his body trembling. He clung tightly to Bai Suzhen's clothes, unable to bear looking at the writhing thorns.

The screech of the thorns echoed through the forest, sending chills down one's spine. They writhed wildly, lunging at Liu Yu and the others.

Finally, it was Bai Suzhen who used her magic to subdue the thorns. Bai Suzhen waved her hands and chanted incantations; a flash of light appeared, and the thorns instantly turned to ashes. Her magic was powerful and wondrous, leaving everyone in awe.

After some twists and turns, they finally emerged from the forest. "Oh dear, this forest was truly terrifying," said Pigsy, wiping the sweat from his brow. He looked back at the forest, still shaken.

"But it was also very interesting," Xiaoqing said with a smile, her face beaming with excitement. She recalled her various experiences in the forest, finding them both thrilling and exciting.

The group exchanged smiles and continued on their way, unaware of what absurd and hilarious adventures awaited them at the next stop...
