Instead of rushing out, the group hid in the shadows to observe the situation.

Judging from their attire, these people must belong to a different place.

One of them was carrying a cannon and was cleaning the ground; each cannonball he fired created a crater.

Those in the center of the pit fought back just as fiercely.

In the pitch black, they could make out the faces of some of the people by the light from the cannon fire.

Like a replica of a twin, exactly the same.

This scene reminded them of the group of white ghosts. Could it be that these people, like them, had encountered the white ghosts?

"You son of a bitch, die!"

A burly man spat and waved his hand, sending countless vines from the ground to attack the white ghosts.

Thick vines pierced the body of one of the white ghosts.

Not far from the white ghost, another white ghost, identical to the giant man, tilted its head, with wildly growing plants sprouting behind it.

It seems that these white ghosts can not only replicate appearances, but also abilities, given enough time.

These people must have dragged it out for too long, which is why things have come to this.

"You guys, stop hiding and come help us!"

Amidst the towering flames, the burly man turned and shouted in the direction of Qin Tan and the others.

Several people who prided themselves on being very well hidden were curious about how the other party had discovered them.

"Don't overthink it. I can just sense the surrounding environment through plants. The plants told me as soon as you arrived."

The group was hiding behind a tree.

The surrounding area was covered with countless weeds.

These were his eyes and ears, which he could easily discover.

"Are you from that Federation?"

The burly man saw that although the group had come out, they were standing cautiously at a distance, and he shouted at them in an annoyed tone.

"I am from the base that made contact with you. Our boss sent us to pick you up."

"We've been looking for you around here for a long time."

At this point, it wouldn't be right to stand idly by.

Xia Shuang gestured for Qin Tan and Fan Zhi to stay put, and she walked forward herself. As she walked, the ground froze into ice.

Large swathes of ice bulged up, freezing the white ghosts inside.

As Xia Shuang passed by, she gently tapped the surface of the ice with her fingers, and the ice sculpture shattered into powder, leaving not a trace of the White Ghost.

An endless domain of ice expanded, and overhead, a massive ice sword materialized.

The ice swords fell at high speed, clearing the battlefield.

You can tell how skilled Xia Shuang is just by looking at her.

Xia Shuang is now much more formidable than she was in Wangcheng.

One person is enough to overwhelm the entire area.

Xia Shuang's impressive performance made the big man raise his eyebrows and laugh.

"You guys are pretty good."

The scene was quickly cleaned up. With a wave of his hand, the huge plants disappeared back into the soil. He strode towards Xia Shuang and reached out his hand.

"Hello, my name is Gan Pengpeng, and I'm the leader of this group. What are your names?"

Gan Pengpeng had a strong grip, and Xia Shuang was equally determined; their handshake was a contest of strength.

Qin Tan silently walked behind Xia Shuang, glancing at the others behind Gan Pengpeng. At her feet, her shadow spread out silently.

The darkness is the best camouflage for shadows.

Under the dim moonlight, no one saw Qin Tan's subtle movements.

Until Gan Pengpeng voluntarily let go.

"Xia Shuang, these are Qin Tan and Fan Zhi. We still have companions over there. Let's go over there first."

Xia Shuang led the group back to the stronghold.

The arrival of a stranger created an atmosphere of tension between the two sides.

Gan Pengpeng continued his self-introduction.

"We estimated your approximate arrival time and have been waiting for you nearby for about a week."

"However, this is our first time in this area, and we accidentally fell into a trap and encountered those monsters."

"You call it the White Ghost, right? That's quite fitting."

Gan Pengpeng explained that they initially wanted to study what those white ghosts were, but they never expected that those things would look more and more like humans.

In the end, they even imitated abilities and tried to replace them.

They started fighting.

"No one in your team has died, right?"

Gan Pengpeng asked casually, and only after Xia Shuang shook her head did Gan Pengpeng answer.

"Then you probably haven't seen this before."

He took out a portable camera and turned on the footage.

The camera was focused on a corpse on the ground.

“This is our companion.”

"He was the first person attacked by the White Ghost. Unfortunately, he passed away. Look here."

Gan Pengpeng pointed to a spot.

Qin Tan saw that a layer of white shadow floated above the corpse, very hazy, like a layer of mist.

As time passed, the smoke and mist condensed further, eventually detaching completely from the corpse and floating in the air, becoming a... initial white ghost.

"We believe that these white ghosts are the souls of humans who died in the wild."

"The reason they want to become human is that they are looking for scapegoats."

Gan Pengpeng's statement leans towards metaphysics.

But this world is full of strange and unpredictable things, and metaphysics might just be the truth.

In the wilderness, there are not only a large number of white ghosts in the amusement park that Qin Tan encountered before.

"But don't worry, as long as we kill the Stand's White Ghost in advance, even if he dies outside later, his soul will not undergo any changes."

Gan Pengpeng comforted everyone, saying that it was just that their skills weren't up to par.

"How far is your base?"

"Have you really found the entrance to the abyss?"

"Do you have a way to eliminate all the supernatural beings and end this damned world?"

Xia Yao bombarded her with a barrage of questions.
