Chapter 123: Avid Reader (2/2)
Amongst these people, only the youth with dark eye rings stared speechlessly at Zhou Birong’s right arm, he had personally seen Zhou Birong’s right hand transform and this was definitely not a simple prop, could what she was saying be true?
The youth’s mouth was wide open in shock.
Zhou Birong looked at this bunch of people who were still adamantly refusing to believe and could only rescind the strange energy within her right hand, causing it to return to normal as she looked back: “Su Yu, Qin Jiagui, let’s go.”
Su Yu nodded as the group continued walking forwards in the valley.
The youth with the dark eye circles noticed the entire process of transformation and rushed over with his laptop bag shouting: “My name is Liu Zheng, I’m willing to travel with your group. This police officer, can you tell me what’s going on with your right arm?”
At this moment the bald headed bus driver had grabbed his cap and pointed in the other direction of the valley: “Based on my estimations, that should be the correct direction. I remember that White Marsh town lies in that direction, I think we should walk in that direction and we will be able to see the highway.”
The group of people were still rather trusting in the bus driver who was experienced, they took their luggage and moved together with the bus driver in the other direction.
Su Yu looked back, a large majority of the people had believed in the bus driver and followed him and only two people had remained behind.
Of these two people, one of them was the youth with the dark eye circles, he had introduced himself Liu Zheng and based on his words earlier, he should be a avid reader of fantasy(Xuan Huan) novels as well as an amateur writer.
There was another young male, he was slightly older than Su Yu and the others, he seemed to be around twenty six years of age, he was wearing a pair of thick rimmed spectacles, his attire was black and seemed to be a gentle, quiet and ordinary male.
Zhou Birong looked curiously over at him, she did not expect that someone beside Liu Zheng would actually remain.
“Hey brother, do you really believe what they are saying?” Liu Zheng noticed that someone besides him had remained and could not help but ask in curiosity.
“The male clothed in black shook his head as he said faintly: “Instinct.”
Liu Zheng was stunned as Qin Jiagui looked back: “What’s your name?”
“Xu Ruyun.” The male clothed in black did not seem as though he liked speaking and each word he spoke was extremely simple.
Qin Jiagui nodded: “Follow us, you will swiftly understand that every word we said was true.”
They had walked for a short period of time before frightening screams could be heard from the other side of the valley.
The hearts of the group trembled and Liu Zheng’s face finally changed as he spoke in a soft voice: “Those are their screams, could it really be…… really……”
Although he had personally seen Zhou Birong’s transformation, his heart was still doubtful, hearing the frightening screams of the other group, he felt terror surge in his heart and gradually began to believe that Zhou Birong and others words to be true.
Xu Ruyun’s gaze seemed to flash but his face continued to remain calm, he did not show signs of franticness or panic.
“Have those people met monsters? I wonder how many people will be able to live.” Qin Jiagui sighed.
Zhao Shichang continued: “They should have met a monster, if they encountered Lesser Goblins or Gnomes they would still have a shot, if it were any other monster……. Only if there’s some miracle.”
The Lesser Goblin was the weakest monster they had met but it was still several times stronger than an ordinary human, as for the Gnome, it was slightly stronger than the Lesser Goblin.
