C43 (1/2)

Zhang Ziyuan held onto my shoulders with both hands and said solemnly: ”Now is not the time for you to be in a daze, our time is very tight, our priority now is to wake up Su Su's ability so that we can negotiate with the Ghost Society and ourselves and change the fact that we are being chased all the way here.”

Awakening my ability? If the person who sealed me was Zhang Shaowu's grandfather, then he is already gone. It seems like right now, I can only ask Zhang Shaowu if he has any clues and methods. I couldn't help but recall the letter that Grandpa Zhang Shaowu left behind. It hadn't even been read through before it was burned without reason. The second half of the letter might have some clues, too. What a pity.

Fu Junqing suddenly thought of something. ”I heard from you guys yesterday that it was because Miss Su Su opened his Space Abyssal Sword that you were able to escape?”

I thought back to what happened in front of the cave yesterday: ”That's right, at that time we would all be finished. Old Man Gu and pyretic lustre both had me pull out the sword, so I took it out. Instantly, the light scattered in all directions, and the other side couldn't see anything anymore. But, it's strange that the people on our side aren't affected at all, so they can still see. ”

Fu Junqing muttered to himself: ”So that's how it is. Looks like Space Abyssal Sword s are the same as pyretic lustre s, they can only be used by fated people. I'm guessing that the awakening of your spiritual energy must have something to do with this sword. How about this, it's useless for us to just blindly guess. Tonight, we'll go to Misty Forest. ”

”Misty Forest?” Is there such a place in Yunnan? I wondered.

Zhang Ziyuan took over the conversation, ”Misty Forest is the same as the place you went to last time to find endosperm. It was a place where all sorts of ghosts gather. And there is a Ghost Tower in the middle of Misty Forest, the strongest evil spirits in the world are all there. ”

Fu Junqing continued drinking his coffee, ”Speaking of which, this Misty Forest and the Ghost Tower were the masterpieces of the rain house.

”Then what you mean is, you want me to familiarize myself with the use of Space Abyssal Sword and use it to increase my spiritual energy?” I asked.

”That's right, don't worry, we will protect you. We won't let anything go wrong with you!” Fu Junqing promised.

Zhang Ziyuan was unhappy and immediately hugged my shoulders. ”I'll protect my own wife, it's none of your business!”

I really feel that Zhang Ziyuan is becoming more and more childish, but his actions made my heart feel very sweet.

We had enough rest during the day, and at night, we packed up our things simply. I also brought the expensive Space Abyssal Sword with me and set off for Misty Forest. Before I left, I called my mother again. I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to make this dangerous trip back.

After getting on the car, Fu Junqing was driving ahead. Zhang Ziyuan sat beside me and stared at me, causing my hair to stand on end.

”I only felt that you were so good-looking when I looked at you more carefully today.” Zhang Ziyuan could not help but ask.

The driver in front seemed to be unhappy, ”Ahem, this car of mine does not allow flirting!”

The words of the two made my face flush red. Honestly speaking, my looks could not be considered a beauty, and even if I am, I am probably still passable.

Along the way, in order to ease the tension, Fu Junqing even told them a few jokes. Although it was not funny at all, it made the journey a lot easier.

After about two hours of driving, the car finally stopped in a wilderness. In front of us was a dense forest. Because it was dark, we couldn't see what was inside. It seemed like the exterior of the forest was covered by a layer of fog. It was very strange.

Could this be the legendary Misty Forest?

After we got out of the car, Zhang Ziyuan said to Fu Junqing: ”Wait for us here, the two of us will go in. I can protect her without a problem. ”

”Don't! ”We need to split our forces just in case there's something you can't deal with inside, which is very dangerous.”

”It's okay, Big Brother Fu. I'm blessed, I will be fine.” Under Fu Junqing's repeated requests, I called him Big Brother Fu from Mr. Fu to Big Brother Fu, but he's almost the same age as my father, is it really okay for me to take advantage of him?

In the end, under Fu Junqing's persuasion, we decided to go in together and take care of each other.

After entering the Misty Forest, I felt every single pore on my body open up. This was a self-defense mechanism that came from the psychic, indicating the dangers of this place.

Zhang Ziyuan was leading the way at the front while we were at the back. We were extremely careful with every step we took, afraid that we would encounter some sort of trap.

Not long later, the howling sound of a wild beast could be heard. It was obvious that the ghosts here had discovered us, and the unique aura of a living person made them bloodthirsty and excited. The deeper we went, the louder the hissing became, and my legs began to give way.

”Don't be afraid, these are all low level ghosts. The endosperm that have exploded are also low level beings, they are not your match.” Zhang Ziyuan cheered me on.

I held Zhang Ziyuan's arm tightly with one hand and the Space Abyssal Sword tightly with the other. I thought, if something difficult to deal with happens, I will use this sword to deal with it! I am a person who wants to become the tower lord, how can I be afraid of you bastards!?

Just as he was thinking, a group of ugly ghosts appeared. Some had green faces and fangs, while others had the whites of their eyes. It was as ugly as one could imagine. It seemed like a ghost as handsome as Zhang Ziyuan was something rarely seen in this world.

These ghosts didn't want to open their mouths, they just stretched out their claws as if they were going to tear us apart.

”AHH!” I haven't seen him in a long time! I almost forgot what human meat tastes like! ”
