C27 (2/2)

He could not hear any birds or beasts around him. He could only hear the uninterrupted crackling and the rustling of leaves as the wind blew past.

Waves of gloomy wind blew past, emitting a whining sound in the distance, as if it was trying to stir up fear within the depths of one's heart.

I swallowed my saliva and continued walking forward while leading Lingling. Along the way, we had already seen dozens of scarecrows with blood flowing out of their heads.

Although not much blood flowed out, it was still very strange.

As the knocking sounds got closer and closer, my heart also tensed up. Just who could it be? Or perhaps … Was it a human or a ghost?

I brought Lingling and went deeper in, and suddenly, I heard a burst of laughter coming from my surroundings.

In such a quiet forest, the laughter was exceptionally ear-piercing. It was even a little strange …

Moreover, this laughter was extremely unpleasant to hear. It was difficult to distinguish a man from a woman, and one could not tell which direction was which. It was as if it stirred up the deepest fear in one's heart.

”Kacha …”

Suddenly, such a crisp sound came from beneath my feet. I was so scared that cold sweat flowed down my body. Lowering my head to look, I discovered that … It was actually just a tree branch.

”Lingling, are you alright?”

Under such an environment, even I was feeling fearful and apprehensive. Naturally, Lingling was also extremely afraid.

I could clearly feel that Lingling's grip on my hand had tightened, and it was wet with sweat.

Is it my sweat, or is it hers?

As I was talking, a cool breeze blew, and another burst of laughter came.

Moreover, this laughter came from afar and seemed to be approaching halfway. The pounding sounds were also approaching!

At this moment, I had the illusion that something was walking towards me …

Laughter, the wind … There were even faint footsteps approaching me!

Is it real? Or an illusion?

I looked around vigilantly, but right at this moment, Lingling, who was beside me, suddenly screamed and pounced into my embrace, shivering.

”What's wrong, Lingling?”

Voices continued to sound, as if the captive Wuchang was closing in on us.

I looked around vigilantly, but there weren't any traces of me in sight. However, when I suddenly turned around, I suddenly saw from the corner of my eyes that there seemed to be a person standing behind a tree. Even though his head was slightly lowered, I could feel that thing staring straight at me.

It was a pity that I was in a hurry at this moment. After a quick glance, I closed my eyes subconsciously.

He only knew that there was a figure behind him. As for the rest, he didn't manage to see anything clearly.

The old man had said that all humans had three flames in front of them, and that was the proof of the heavens. With these three flames, ordinary Ghost Being wouldn't dare to approach.

As a result, he could not see the Ghost Being, but... If one were to look from the corner of their eyes, they would be able to see it when the surrounding Miasma was thicker or their own Miasma was thicker.

However, the moment I turned around, the surroundings seemed to quiet down once again.

Startled, I took a few deep breaths. This forest is truly strange.

It seemed like he couldn't stay any longer. He needed to hurry up and find the source of the sound, see if it was a human or a ghost, and then quickly leave.

Thinking up to this point, I wanted to continue searching for the source of the sound, but I didn't expect that at this moment, the sounds would disappear …

The surroundings became completely silent … Even the wind was gone, and for a moment I felt as if I were in another place.

Because of the disappearance of the voice, I felt as if everything around me had become unfamiliar.

Just when I was trying my best to catch the source of the sound, a sharp laughter came from my surroundings.

”Hehehe …” Hehehe … ”Hahaha …”

Numerous laughter mixed together, accompanied by the wind, it once again resonated through the forest, and at that moment, Lingling who was by her side suddenly shouted:

”Elder sister, there!”
