Li Wenhe kept a close eye on everyone's location, and when he realized that He Wangyao was quite far away, he was the first to chase after her.
However, the villagers who rushed over looked panicked and urged, "Teacher Shen said we need to hurry up and help, otherwise we won't be able to suppress it!"
Li Wenhe was inevitably affected for a moment, and in that instant, He Wangyao was no longer in the same spot.
"Boss, He Wangyao is missing." Li Wenhe's heart sank slightly.
"He's probably gone to help out." The villager who brought the news was very anxious. "Teacher Ruan, let's hurry over!"
Li Wenhe retreated to Ming Zhuo's side, maintaining a high state of alert.
Pei Di also inexplicably became nervous, clenching the palm charm in his hand.
The villager who brought the news shouted, "What are you all dawdling for? Do you think I would lie to you? Hurry up or we'll be late!"
Several other villagers also said, "Let's search along the way."
"Yes, I saw that young man pass through the archway and head towards the village."
Mingzhuo glanced at the villager. This was really troublesome. These were all living people; he couldn't just kill them all.
She asked Li Wenhe, "Do you think Yao Yao is more important, or is it more important not to owe money?"
"What?" Li Wenhe was taken aback. What kind of question was this?
He realized that "not owing money" referred to Bu Qianqian? Seriously, enough already! Why are you giving people random nicknames again?
“Of course He Wangyao is more important,” he answered without hesitation.
He Wangyao is their companion. Bu Qianqian was left behind by Shen Boyuan and Chu Yuqi. Shouldn't Shen Boyuan be in charge?
A strange, inhuman roar echoed faintly from the village. Zhuang Xun's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't help but draw his sword and chase after it.
"Then Yao Yao is in your and Pei Di's care." Ming Zhuo quickly made his decision, stuffed something into Li Wenhe's arms, and hurried towards the village entrance.
Several villagers also started running, and the crowd scattered in an instant.
——
When He Wangyao realized that she was quite far away, she immediately became alert.
But even though he took two steps toward Mingzhuo, a thick fog rolled in, and he completely lost his way.
"Boss! Li Wenhe! Pei Di!" He Wangyao's heart skipped a beat. No way, she was all alone?
He was utterly devastated; what he feared most had come to pass. This was just too much!
The white mist around them seemed to change, and the roars of the fierce corpses could be heard from time to time, making the ancient village instantly become fraught with danger.
What terrified him even more than the grotesque corpse was the sound of rushing water.
Suddenly, he was very, very close to the lake, so close that he was about to step into it.
He quickly ran towards the shore to create some distance for his safety.
"He Wangyao, why are you running around like this!" Li Wenhe and Pei Di walked out of the white mist and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him.
——
The roars of the monstrous corpses rang out intermittently. Bu Qianqian listened intently and found the sounds becoming clearer and clearer.
"Could it be that Hu Mazi wants to go home?" Aunt Xiang also noticed this and exclaimed in alarm.
Bu Qianqian's scalp was about to explode. If the fierce corpse wanted to go home, then they were still hiding here, which was like being trapped in a barrel, waiting to be surrounded and slaughtered.
"Wait a minute, let me calculate it again..."
When the roar of the fierce corpse rang out again, Aunt Xiang could no longer contain herself.
"What are you calculating? Run!" She grabbed Bu Qianqian and rushed out of the house.
Bu Qianqian was startled. The peach wood divination cup fell to the ground. In her haste, she only had time to pick it up before running out with Aunt Xiang.
Upon seeing the sedan chair that suddenly appeared at the intersection, she instantly became alert and turned to run back.
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her arms.
"Aunt Xiang?" Bu Qianqian was taken aback.
"I'm scared. Hu Mazi is coming. Let's hide in the sedan chair so he can't find us." Aunt Xiang trembled.
Bu Qianqian's heart was pounding. The divination she hadn't had time to analyze suddenly became clear in her mind.
When she was casting the divination, she was thinking about whether the people around her were safe.
The divination told her that this person was not safe.
She composed herself and said calmly, "Why did you hide in the sedan chair?"
Aunt Xiang smiled strangely: "Because the top scholar likes scholars, and you are a graduate student with a high level of education."
When Bu Qianqian realized something was wrong and tried to escape, it was too late. The village woman she had been protecting instantly turned into a ferocious figure, and almost without hesitation, she kicked her injured leg.
The kick was extremely hard, and Bu Qianqian fell to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain.
But that wasn't all. Aunt Xiang grabbed her hair, lifted her up, and dragged her into the sedan chair.
Bu Qianqian's desperate resistance earned her two resounding slaps. "Why is it so hard to get you into the sedan chair! You bitch!"
The moment she was shoved into the sedan chair, the amulet on Bu Qianqian's body suddenly burst into flames and turned to ashes in an instant.
Aunt Xiang also took away the pair of peach wood divination blocks, and she suddenly felt her mind becoming muddled.
A damp, sticky sensation enveloped her, and a strange, fishy stench filled the air.
The taste seemed familiar. In a flash, she realized it was the taste of fish.
At the time, it tasted incredibly delicious, as if my five senses were being blinded. But now, looking back, it smells awful and makes me want to vomit.
Why don't I feel anything is wrong?
Just then, she heard a series of footsteps outside.
