Qiyou did not appear before me. I was alone, trembling and trembling as I walked in the pitch black wilderness.

However, as the saying goes, ”It's raining in the middle of the night”, not long after I walked out, I met a blue ghost flame. Moreover, this ghost flame even let out a weird giggle, as if there's something hidden inside.

The little bit of courage that I mustered with all my strength was instantly scattered by this weird scene. I no longer had the courage to persevere as I frantically ran in a different direction.

There is a legend in our hometown that this ghost fire is made from the soul of man and is meant to frighten cowardly people. The more scared you are, the more it will keep an eye on you.

After reading the book, there was another story about ghost fire. It was produced when scales in the bones met the air spontaneous combustion, floating in the air, as if they caused the air to flow when they passed by, causing ghost fire to float along with them.

Before this, I didn't really believe either of these things, but now I did, because I found that the ghost flame was following my escaping trajectory at a fast pace.

Moreover, not only did it follow me, it was also faster than me. From the looks of it, it seemed to be blocking my path.

At this time, Qiyou did not make a sound, I could even feel her watching me flee with a disdainful smile on her face. I wanted to curse her, but without this effort, I could only hate myself for not giving birth to two legs, and the sound of the wind blew past my ears. I only felt as if my lungs were on fire, and I did not even have the strength to endure for long before I lost all my strength.

”Hehehehe!”

This damn will-o '-the-wisp hasn't been extinguished yet, but it seems like it hasn't been satisfied yet and is once again hovering above my head, making weird gurgling sounds from time to time. Although it still makes my scalp tingle, at this moment, I really didn't have any strength left, so I could only helplessly watch this flowery flame, waiting for the final scene to unfold.

Sure enough, not long after, this wisp of ghost flame seemed to be powerless at all. The faint blue light became smaller and smaller, until only a flower flame the size of a finger could be seen.

It was also at this moment that I discovered that there was something within this fire that was flapping its wings continuously. It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly, it looked just like a bird.

Holy shit, so it's a bird.” I couldn't help but sigh in relief, both embarrassed and exasperated at my cowardice. After a long time, I was scared half to death by a feathery animal, so I grabbed a branch from the ground and threw it at it desperately. I didn't care if I hit it or not, I just grabbed a bare and slippery thing at random.

”Caw!”

A strange cry rang out. This feathery animal was probably frightened by the thing I threw and actually flew to the side with its mouth wide open. At the same time, something fell out of its mouth, blue like a ghost's flame.

I smiled and took a closer look and realized that it wasn't a ghost fire but something else, so I grabbed the thing I had just grabbed and stepped forward to take a look, and was immediately amused, I didn't expect this thing to be really interesting, it was actually a round, round bead, like the glass ball I used to play with when I was young, I curled my lips and remembered that the flat fur beast just now was definitely a crow, I had seen it in the animal world before, saying that crows like to collect shiny things for target, at this point, I thought that it was similar to the human world, doesn't this woman also like diamonds?

Thinking of this, I put down the thing that I was prepared to throw at the crow. I took out my phone to take a closer look at the glowing blue thing. I was secretly looking forward to seeing if this was a sapphire or a luminous pearl.

Taking advantage of the dim light on my phone, I took a deep breath. Only then did I see that this dark blue thing was completely white with a few red inscriptions on it. In addition, there was a black disk on top of it.

Isn't this an eyeball?

I let out a weird ”Ah!” as my hand shivered. I couldn't hold it anymore and it slid down.

Why was this damned crow holding an eyeball in its beak?

Scared half to death, I used my hands and feet to retreat a few steps. At the same time, using the light from my phone, I was able to see that there was an eerie white skull with its mouth wide open by my side. Wasn't that the thing I picked up earlier to chase away the crow?

”Holy shit, this really is a trap of ten thousand people. I can casually pick up a skull?” I couldn't hold it in anymore and immediately cursed out. I thought that I was really f * cking unlucky today to have met with such a situation.

Furthermore, when I saw it clearly, I realized that the eyeball had fallen on the skull. Looking at it now, it was a one-eyed dragon skull staring at me with a sinister light in its eyes.

When I saw this situation, I immediately shivered. I didn't want to care anymore, so I simply shuddered and got up to leave.

It was also at this moment that two ”ge ge” sounds could be heard again. I thought it was the crow again, so I cursed and ignored it.

Unfortunately, when I turned around, I saw a person standing behind me. He had long hair that fell to his shoulders. He wore an extremely tattered black robe and stood there motionlessly like a withered tree.

Caught off guard, I was so scared that my soul almost flew out of my body. ”Aiya!” After taking two steps back, I collapsed on the ground, trembling as I looked at the figure, and because of the light, I couldn't see his expression, but even though this person didn't move at all, he gave me an extremely intense pressure. It was as if I wasn't facing an unexpected person but an evil spirit.

I panted heavily and thought of what the taxi driver had told me. I thought of the possibility that would make me feel the most scared.
