C36 (1/2)

When Zhu Yingqiong said the word ghost, all of our expressions changed. We looked at each other and felt that it was inconceivable.

No one has ever seen a ghost like this, but everyone has this feeling of fear in their hearts, especially in the Wild Mountain. The stories of ghosts and barbarians have been circulating everywhere, and we have already verified the barbarians, so it is very likely that the Emperor Jianwen used Ancient Warship s to bring the beastmen.

It can't be?

I really couldn't imagine that the word ”ghost” would actually come out of Zhu Yingqiong's mouth. Although I haven't gotten to the point where I completely understand her, I basically understand her a lot.

Zhu Yingqiong was a British Chinese, she grew up in England, and the idealism she accepted was English, how could it have anything to do with ghosts?

But when I thought about it, I suddenly discovered another interesting key point. There were many different cultures, languages, and religions in the world, and they were all very difficult to get along with. However, ghosts were mentioned by every country in the world, but the West only called them souls.

Is there really a ghost in this world?

I shook my head to dispel the chaotic thoughts in my mind. Zhu Yingqiong saw that we were all looking at her with suspicion, so she also frowned: ”I know that such an explanation is hard to believe, but other than this explanation, I can't think of anything that could cause so many people to die together.”

Hai Yang immediately agreed, ”I think what big sis said is reasonable. There are many things in this world that I couldn't explain clearly to begin with. Back then, when I was digging gold in Xinjiang with my little friend, I encountered even more strange things than now. Even if we don't believe in ghosts, we still have to be vigilant!”

The monk said arrogantly as he pulled the bolt of the gun, ”Even a human can't be afraid of ghosts. If there really is something wrong, I will be the first one to shoot it and let it die again.”

The last one of the three lackeys that Fourth Uncle brought out was surnamed Zhang, he had the least guts. Upon hearing our words, he was already trembling in fear, and said to Fourth Uncle: ”Fourth Master, I think we should quickly leave, it's not good to stay here any longer!”

Fourth Uncle thought for a moment before nodding his head: ”Tidy up all the corpses' backpacks. Take everything that is useful with you and leave this place immediately.”

But I saw that Zhu Yingqiong's expression was a little ugly, probably because she knew all the dead people, but she said the truth now that Fourth Uncle gave her face and allowed her to join, so she didn't say much, she could only watch as the monk and the servant started to rummage through for equipment. They were completely speechless.

I lit up a cigarette and walked to Fourth Uncle's side. I looked at Zhu Yingqiong and whispered: ”Fourth Uncle, you come with me to find out more, why do we need to bring Zhu Yingqiong along? She is one of Charles's people, aren't you afraid that she will become one of us … ”

I didn't say the last eight words, but Fourth Uncle understood and smiled at me: ”Little brat, the day you truly know how to use people, you will understand my feelings. Zhu Yingqiong has a map on him, and it's a map of the White Kingdom and underground tunnels, Charles gave it to her, and when we find the entrance to the underground, we will use it!”

Hai Yang listened from the side and said, ”Damn, I should have said that earlier. I could have gotten the map on Fake Foreigner from the start.”

Fourth Uncle shook his head: ”It's useless to get it. Do you know Japanese?”

Fourth Uncle sighed and said, ”That map was left behind by the Sakyamuni Army back then. I don't know where Charles got that map either, but Zhu Yingqiong told me that back then, when the Sakyamuni Army entered the ground, he spent a lot of time and effort to rebuild the bottom of the White Kingdom. Without that map, it would be easy for us to suffer losses under the ground, so we need her now!”

When I heard this, I immediately understood, Fourth Uncle is famous for being a Cyan Faced Ghost, shady people turning into enemies with no mercy are commonplace, it is not even possible for others to hide from him, how could Zhu Yingqiong, a woman, dare to advance with Fourth Uncle, she actually has a trump card in her hands!

Aside from food, most of the things we held were weapons and ammunition. After all, we had enough food to last us for a long time, but the Fourth Uncle was in a hurry, so we didn't prepare any weapons. This might have something to do with the border.

After packing up, we didn't plan to stay any longer, because it was getting dark and we had to find a safe place to rest, because at night, who knew what else would happen?

But just as we turned our heads to leave, I suddenly realized that everything in the forest in front of us had suddenly become extremely blurry and indistinct. It was as if a highly myopic person had suddenly lost his glasses.

I was stunned and rubbed my eyes. When I realised that I was still the same as before, I immediately panicked. Could it be that there was something wrong with my eyes?

Hurriedly turning around, I saw everyone wiping their eyes at the same time. Their gazes were a little dull as they looked straight ahead. Only then did I know that everyone was in the same situation as me.

”Damn, that's not right. There seems to be fog in front!”

Hai Yang cried out in alarm and rubbed her eyes once more. I hastily looked again and discovered that the scene in front of us had become even more blurry. A milky white fog suddenly permeated the forest and silently surrounded us.

The fog was just like a thick layer of fog, visible to the naked eye, enveloping us from all directions. The closer they got to us, the worse our vision became, and within the fog, there was an indescribable tempting aura mixed in. It gave off the feeling that our heads suddenly felt a little dizzy, and everything in front of us also started becoming illusionary.

The monk shouted in alarm, ”The fog is starting to rise! Everyone, don't move around recklessly. Let's move forward hand in hand. If the fog is too big, it will easily dissipate!”

It's hard for me to imagine how it would feel to be separated by myself in the dense forest with Wild Mountain that was almost dark. I felt my scalp go numb just thinking about it, so I hurriedly grabbed Hai Shui's hand, and with my other hand, I pulled Zhu Yingqiong. The monk grabbed Fourth Uncle, and the Fourth Uncle pulled his shop assistant.

We walked very slowly. After only walking for five or six minutes, the thick milky white fog completely surrounded us, and by then our visibility was less than two meters away. I couldn't even see the face of the shop assistant at the side, and from time to time we would fall down or crash into a big tree.

After walking for a few more minutes, we were completely unable to see anything clearly, as if we had been blind. We could only feel that our eyes were filled with confusion, and the mist in the clouds seemed to be like that of a fairyland. I never thought that the fog in the Wild Mountain would be this strong, it was even scarier than the fog in the ocean that we met when we first stepped into the Wild Mountain.

In this environment, if we were to be ambushed by beastmen or beasts, it would be hard for us to defend!
