Chapter 138: Fatty’s Voice
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In layman’s terms, “dabble” meant an unprofessional person who did not have much skill. Fatty was obviously confused by Yun Qin’s appearance to describe her as such.
Ma Yue shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. But for her to come to Black Bear Ridge, she must have some confidence.”
Yun Qin, who was called “dabbling”, listened quietly while cursing in her heart.
There were ghosts in Black Bear Ridge in the past, but the Soul Bead regularly sucked them up. Even if some ghosts were lingering around, with Yun Qin here, they were practically her snacks. This group of people was lucky to have her with them.
As they walked, Yun Qin realized something was wrong with this road. Why did it look more and more like the road she took when she went down the valley and entered the cave?
However, this group of people did not have evil energy like Yun Qin that could help them descend the mountain vertically. Therefore, they could only take the long way, winding down to the bottom of the valley.
After walking for some time, the terrain turned into a steep vertical mountain path. The sun already set. Under the dim lighting, it became even harder to recognize the terrain.
As night fell, the temperature in the mountain dropped sharply. Even though Fatty and the others were wearing clothes that Ma Yue brought, they were still shivering from the cold.
A fog also covered the middle of the valley, blocking the downward view. The environment was almost the same as the last time Yun Qin was here.
After resting for a while, Ma Yue suggested that they tie ropes around their waists and stagger down the mountain. This way, they could ensure that no one fell behind and ensure each other’s safety, preventing anyone from falling off the mountain.
Since grave robbers commonly used this type of protection measure, they agreed. However, since they paired up, there was one odd man out. After Ma Yue looked at everyone, he suggested, “I’ll take two people with me.”
Yun Qin had evil energy that she could use to protect her body so she could have directly descended into the mountain, but because of this group of people, she could only obediently take the long way with them. Now, she did not want to be bound by a rope so she took the initiative and said, “I don’t need rope. You guys can go.”
“Oh, so you can talk. I thought you were mute,” Fatty said in surprise as he tied the safety rope between him and Ma Yue.
Yun Qin rolled her eyes and was about to walk forward.
“Wait, this mountain is foggy and there are dirty things around. Don’t stray too far from us,” Ma Yue reminded from behind.
“Okay, don’t worry.” Yun Qin replied lightly. She wanted to move on her own because she hoped to meet some “dirty things”.
“Haha, isn’t she a Taoist master? Why would she be afraid?”
Suddenly, the thin and tall man called Luo Hui, who had been silent, spoke. His voice was so hoarse it sounded like he was sawing wood.
Everyone was frightened by his sudden voice and no one spoke. They looked at each other with strange expressions.
“They’re all freaks, damn it.” When the Luo siblings walked far away, Fatty spat and ridiculed.
Yun Qin’s footsteps were fast and her movements were agile. She already walked far ahead. The night fog in the mountains was thick, and the flashlights that the people behind her held could not illuminate too far. Yun Qin could only hear faint sounds of people talking and see the weak lights sweeping in all directions.
As she walked, Yun Qin suddenly realized that there was a rapidly moving evil energy around her. For a moment, she could not catch it.
Did a ghost appear? Yun Qin stopped to sense for a moment, but she could not detect the presence of a ghost.
Just as she stopped walking, she suddenly realized that there were only two out of the three flashlights following behind her. The other flashlight was nowhere to be found.
Oh No! Yun Qin thought to herself and quickly retracted her steps.
She bumped into Hu Min and Zhuang Sen, who were holding hands. When they saw Yun Qin’s serious expression, they were stunned. Hu Min asked, “Master Yun, what’s wrong?”
Yun Qin raised her head and looked behind her. She saw the Luo siblings walking over so she immediately realized who was missing. “Where’s Fatty and Ma Yue?”
“They’re in the back,” Hu Min replied.
At this moment, she heard Fatty’s voice from behind her. “Hey, I say, the game here should be delicious. I think we can hunt some and grill it later…”
However, when Yun Qin shone the flashlight behind her, Fatty’s voice stopped abruptly. The lingering sound dispersed like fog.
“Damn!” Zhuang Sen now realized that the two people behind him did not follow them and he cursed in shock.
The moment Fatty’s voice disappeared, Yun Qin sensed the aura of a ghost and immediately understood the situation. She said anxiously, “They encounter a bewitching ghost. I’ll go find them. You guys stay here and don’t move!”
Zhuang Sen grew up with Fatty and since he went missing, Zhuang Sen immediately said, “I’ll go find them with you!”
