Moreover, the mist ahead was becoming thicker.
"Alice, let's go back and wait for the mist to clear before moving forward." Liu Chen suggested to her.
"If we don't move forward, how will we find the snow lotus?" Alice still seemed a bit stubborn.
"Waiting for the mist to clear won't take too much time." Liu Chen continued to persuade, and finally, Alice agreed to wait a while before proceeding, as the mist ahead was so thick that even the path beneath was invisible, making it very dangerous to cross.
As they temporarily retreated and returned to the vicinity of the mysterious peach tree, Liu Chen suddenly made a silencing gesture, sensing something odd about the place. If one listened carefully, voices could be heard.
