Chapter 139: A Few Figures

Adding another person to the mix would cause Yun Qin a lot of trouble. Time was of the essence, and Yun Qin was not in the mood to persuade him. She immediately turned around and yelled at him, “Go back! Stay where you are!”

Zhuang Sen was shocked by Yun Qin’s demeanor and stood rooted to the spot. Then, he watched Yun Qin turn off her flashlight and disappear into the thick fog.

When she used her ability to sense the evil energy around her, Yun Qin could only feel that the aura was moving extremely quickly. One second, it was in front of her, and the next, it moved behind her, making it extremely difficult to capture its position.

After concentrating her thoughts, Yun Qin suddenly smashed a strand of her evil energy in the direction of the aura that she detected. As expected, her evil energy hit something. The ghost’s evil energy flowed out and mixed in with the gray fog.

“It’s a bewitching ghost!” Yun Qin whispered as a plan formulated in her mind.

As for Fatty and Ma Yue, they have not realized yet that they were separated from their group. They continued to chat cheerfully while pointing their flashlight at the road under their feet.

“Captain Ma, what do you usually do? You don’t look like a grave robber. Those two sinister siblings look more like the role.”

Fatty casually plucked some wild weeds growing beside him and asked.

“I do odd jobs. Indeed, I specialize in everything.” Ma Yue was somewhat preoccupied so his answer was very vague, as if he did not want to tell Fatty too much.

Looking at the gradually thinning vegetation ahead, Fatty shouted towards the front, “Bro! How much longer do we have to walk?”

“We’re almost there!” Zhuang Sen’s voice came from behind them.

“What’s going on? Why are they behind us? Were the two of them are hiding and flirting?”

Fatty did not notice anything strange and only muttered to himself.

Ma Yue thought about it and could not help but look behind him. He frowned and asked, “Fatty, isn’t Zhuang Sen leading the way? If they are behind us, which way are we going?”

Fatty was stunned for a moment. Then, he hesitated and said, “Are they trying to slack off? Or did they have to use the bathroom?”

“No, quickly, call out to them again.” Ma Yue stopped, looked around at the unfamiliar environment, and said warily.

“Bro! Bro! Hello! I have to pee too!” Fatty also stopped and shouted at the top of his lungs. He thought that since he had to wait for them, he might as well sit down.

However, after shouting a few times, no one responded. All he could see was the thick fog.

“Bro! I peed my pants! Come quickly!”

Fatty still shouted at the top of his voice.

However, after a long time, there was still no response.

“This is strange. Did they take a break?” Fatty scratched his head and looked at Ma Yue.

Ma Yue’s expression was solemn as if he thought of something bad. He said, “Fatty, we might have encountered something dirty.”

“What? Damn! It can’t be.” Fatty was stunned for a moment, then instinctively asked, “What should we do?”

“Stay here and don’t move. Wait for them to come and find us. If we stray too away, they won’t be able to find us.” Ma Yue frowned and replied. He kept looking around, but he couldn’t find any clues or movements.

“Eh, I say, do you still remember where we came from?” Fatty’s expression was a little nervous as he stutteringly asked.

When Ma Yue heard this, he also realized that there was a big problem. The surroundings were all rocks and sparse weeds. There was no difference at all. After walking aimlessly for a bit, Ma Yue replied in a deep voice, “I forgot.”

Everything fell into a strange silence. Suddenly, Fatty gulped and pointed in a direction, “Look, is that them?”

Ma Yue followed the direction of his finger and saw a few figures emerge from the fog. They were blurry and they did not turn on their flashlights.

As the figures approached, their outlines became clearer. The figures had heads and hands. It seemed like those were human figures.

“Haha, my brother is very reliable.” Seeing that they came, Fatty felt that it was just a false alarm and laughed happily again.

“Zhuang Sen, why didn’t you turn on your flashlight? Can you see clearly without it on?” Ma Yue pointed his flashlight towards the human figures. The light could not penetrate the thick fog. When the flashlight shone, the human figures became a little dimmer.

However, just as the two of them were waiting for their companions to come over, the human figures became dimmer and dimmer. In the end, the figures disappeared as if they melted into the fog.

“Damn,” Fatty immediately broke out in cold sweat. With another audible “gulp”, he swallowed his saliva.

“You’re eyes are playing tricks on you.” Ma Yue rubbed his eyes and comforted himself. To ease the tense atmosphere, he turned his head and said to Fatty, “What’s wrong? Why are you still swallowing your saliva? Are you hungry?”

“I’m not…” Fatty was confused. He wanted to say something, but he heard a clear “gulp” coming from behind them.
