"This mountain is probably the only one in our city that hasn't been fully developed yet. Look at the environment here—lush trees and overgrown weeds. You see, there aren't even any mountain trails, just a few familiar dirt paths, but the air is very fresh!"

Walking along the mountain path, Yinni introduced the area to his colleagues as they went, saying, "There are so many trees here, it's easy to get lost. You'd better stick close to me, or it would be a real problem if you got lost."

"Yes, don't worry, we'll be careful about that."

Following behind, Bai Xinyu nodded and said, "But Xiaobaicai and Ahui, you two can't lose them!"

"Okay, we understand."

Little Cabbage also answered.

Because of the urgency of the situation, they entered the mountains in the afternoon. Their team concealed themselves in front to clear the way, with Xiaobaicai and others in the middle, and Yue Jiuling and Yazi at the rear.

Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi walked side by side to the back, observing their surroundings as they went. They weren't very familiar with the mountain and didn't know what might be inside, so they were quite cautious as they entered.

Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi walked together. In front of them was Bai Xinyu, and behind them were Ahui and Xiaobaicai. Ye Dongfeng looked at the two weak monsters behind him and said, "You two can stay here and be the sandwich filling. It's safer that way."

Bai Xinyu also said, "That's right, but I don't know why, I always feel like there's something watching me from this mountain."

"You feel that way too? I thought I was the only one who felt that way~"

Hearing Bai Xinyu's words, Yue Jiuling immediately said, "I've felt this sense of being watched ever since I entered the mountain."

"You all feel this way?" Upon hearing this, Hidden asked in confusion, "Really? Why don't I feel this way?"

"Perhaps this is what women call their sixth sense?"

Ya Zi laughed from behind and said, "Actually, I don't feel that way either. Dongfeng, what about you guys?"

"No, I don't feel anything. Aren't you women too sensitive?"

Ye Dongfeng said blankly, "Oh well, let's just be monitored. If he dares to run away, we'll just take him out."

Mu Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "You all felt it? Why can't I feel it?"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Xiaobaicai moved even closer to Ahui and said, "Actually, I don't feel like I'm being watched, but I feel like there's a lot of gloom here, it's a little scary~"

Ahui, also shrinking his head and pulling his cotton coat tighter, said, "Yes, the yin energy here is really heavy~"

"That's normal. There are so many unclean things in these mountains, it's normal for the yin energy to be heavy."

With a calm expression, Yinni led everyone into the mountain. He said, "This mountain was originally a barren mountain. Countless dead people have been buried inside. It hasn't been developed much, and the old graves haven't been moved. So it's normal that it has a heavy yin energy."

"Oh, okay then."

Ahui felt the temperature in the mountains getting lower and lower, so he could only hug himself tightly and say, "Ugh, it's all because of this awful weather, it's so cold."

"Yeah, it's been so annoying lately. The weather suddenly turned really cold, and I've even caught a bit of a cold."

Mu Xiaoyi rubbed her nose and said, "Ugh, this mountain is too big. How are we going to find those wild boars?"

"How about this, let's split up and go find those wild boars. If anything happens, we can use the talisman to contact each other. Don't use your cell phones if there's no signal. Xiaobaicai and Ahui, you two can find a place to rest and wait for us to come back. That way we can speed things up."

Hidden suddenly thought of a way and said.

Ya Zi nodded and said, "That's a good idea. This place is too big. It would be too much of a waste of time for us to move around together. It would be more convenient to split up."

"Alright then, we'll wait for you to come back here."

Little Cabbage nodded in agreement, saying, "Our magic is too weak, but we can still protect ourselves if we encounter danger. I can turn into a cabbage seed or a seedling to hide myself, and Ahui can turn into a gray rat to hide."

"Yes, I will also leave you some talismans."

Mu Xiaoyi took out a bunch of talismans from her small bag and said.

Ye Dongfeng also took out a small silver dagger and a copper rod and gave them to Xiaobaicai and Ahui, saying, "You can also take these for self-defense."

"Yes, thank you. We will take good care of ourselves."

Ah Hui took the copper rod and said.

Seeing that Xiaobaicai and Ahui had found a big tree to rest under, Yue Jiuling said to Ya Zi, "Let's go, Young Master Long, shall we form a group?"

“Okay, let’s hide. I’m in a group with Jiu Ling, let’s go to the west.”

Ya Zi turned to the hidden figure standing under the tree and said.

Hidden had already guessed that the two of them would team up, so he simply nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, go ahead, but you two can't sneak any food, remember we're working right now."

"Okay, we got it. We're off."

Yue Jiuling put her arm around Ya Zi's shoulder and left.

Seeing that Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi had both left, Ye Dongfeng said to Mu Xiaoyi, "Let's go, let's also look in the east. By the way, I brought a lighter today, hehe~"

"Hey, watch out for forest safety, be careful to prevent fires!"

While listening to Ye Dongfeng's words, Yinni gave him a reminder.
