For a moment, she couldn’t understand the deep meaning hidden in Gang Ye’s black eyes. Shen Yaowei was about to speak when she saw Gang Ye turn around angrily and stop looking at her.
Qi Yuan took all of this in. His eyes were filled with an unfathomable light as he slowly said, “At this point, let’s hurry along.”
Everyone agreed in unison and continued forward with Qi Yuan.
Shen Yaowei was about to follow Gang Ye and Yao Qingyi, who had left first, when she suddenly felt a wretched gaze shoot over from afar and land on her.
The gloomy, cold air attacked, making Shen Yaowei instantly vigilant. She turned around and looked behind her.
However, there was a piece of dead wood behind her. There was no aura of any living creature.
Doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes. After she made sure there was nothing wrong, she quickened her pace and followed everyone.
Just as Shen Yaowei left, a blurry ghost crawled out of the tree trunk.
The ghost was more than two meters tall. It had long legs and arms. There was no nose or mouth on its badly mangled face. Even its eyelids had disappeared, revealing only a bloodshot eyeball.
The ghost’s voice sounded like it was laughing and crying. Every word it said seemed to be chewed up by its throat before it spat it out. “Hehehe, General will definitely like such a beautiful woman.”
The ghost raised its sharp nails and actually tore off a piece of pale skin from its body. Then, it used its fingers to draw Shen Yaowei’s peerless appearance on the skin.
Looking at the beautiful woman on its skin, it was very satisfied. It turned around and left with a sinister smile.
That night, in an empty s.p.a.ce in the Ghost Shadow Forest.
Shen Yaowei sat in front of the fire and sighed heavily.
It wasn’t only Shen Yaowei. Everyone looked dispirited.
They couldn’t be blamed for being depressed. They could only blame themselves for wandering around the Ghost Shadow Forest for a long time today and being dizzy from the terrain here. Not to mention finding the way to the door, they couldn’t even find the way in.
Now the group of them was scurrying through the woods like headless flies. They had no idea where they were, let alone where they should go next.
Everyone was dejected. Qi Yuan cleared his throat to attract everyone’s attention.
“Now, there’s only one option left. You all land and set up camp here, then wait for me. I will go ahead and explore the path to the gate. Once I have confirmed the correct route, 1 will return here and lead you through,” said Qi Yuan as he formed a lotus seal with his hand, creating a token imbued with his aura and handing it to Yao Qingyi. “Take this token. When 1 find the right path, I’ll follow the aura on the token to find my way back to you.”
“Master, be careful.” Yao Qingyi took the token without another word.
“We have to be more careful after the Imperial Preceptor leaves. I think we can guard in batches and pay attention to the surroundings. We can take turns to rest so that we won’t be caught off guard when we encounter any inevitable danger,” Shen Yaowei said to everyone when she saw Qi Yuan’s back disappear.
Yao Qingyi was the first to stand up and agree with Shen Yaowei. “I agree with Miss Shen.”
The others didn’t object. Yue Xiaoyao raised his hand and took the initiative to suggest, “I agree. Moreover, I think the injured should receive preferential treatment. Why don’t we have someone other than Eldest Senior Brother and Gang Ye guard us?”
Seeing that everyone had agreed to Yue Xiaoyao’s suggestion, Shen Yaowei carefully discussed the specific division of labor with them..
