Zheng Wei didn't waste time and relayed his conversation with Shen Xiaoyan to everyone.
After hearing it, the group nodded in agreement. However, they still needed to carefully consider what to do next.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Wei then said, "Why don't we try to leave this place first and see if re-entering will make any difference?"
Since everyone was out of ideas, they readily agreed to Zheng Wei's suggestion.
They walked quickly to the entrance of the forbidden zone, took a deep breath, and were about to step outside.
But it was then that they realized they couldn't leave.
There was clearly nothing in front of them, yet no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't get out.
Lu Taobao stared at the empty space in front of him with a look of horror and murmured, "Could it be that this forbidden zone is called forbidden because once you enter, you can't get out?"
After saying that, he quickly shook his head.
"It can't be like that. If it were true, how would this forbidden zone have gained its reputation? And all those rumors, they clearly spread from people who got out, and even though there might be some exaggeration, the most crucial point is that they came from people who had left the forbidden zone."
As Lu Taobao spoke, he felt everyone's eyes fixed on him.
He instinctively touched his cheek and, feeling the smooth touch of his skin, relaxed.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
He thought he had made a rather sensible point, so why were they all staring at him like this?
Before he could figure out the reason, Bai Ying patted his shoulder and said, "I never realized your brain had actually grown back. Honestly, what have you been eating?"
Lu Taobao:!
He really didn't need such praise.
But upon seeing the admiration in Bai Ying's eyes, the bitterness on his face vanished without a trace.
"Hahaha, Yingying, you're actually praising me! It seems I should eat something good to supplement myself. That way, my brain will probably recover quickly."
Looking at Lu Taobao, who was grinning like a fool, Shen Xiaoyan and the others felt utterly embarrassed.
Was this what they called getting carried away?
Regardless, Lu Taobao's words did have some sense.
Zheng Wei cleared his throat and said, "Let's first think of a way to get out."
Shen Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, the method to get out might be somewhere in this valley, or perhaps tied to some object."
Shen Xiaoming also spoke up quietly, "But we've already checked everything just now. I even know how much dry grass there is in the valley."
Shen Xiaoming had been responsible for inspecting the dry grass earlier.
As soon as he said that, Lu Taobao quickly chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. I've already counted all the flowers in this valley, and there are a total of..."
Not wanting to hear him drone on, Shen Xiaoyan quickly changed the subject.
"Then, is there anything else we haven't checked?"
The group was momentarily stunned by her words, and then their eyes collectively turned towards a tall stone tablet beside them.
