Mo Lan silently watched the few people moving around in the illusion, and finally couldn't help but let out a sneer.
"What do you mean by 'involved'? I just don't believe you can force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to."
Tomb Spirit: "...Boss, don't speak so confidently, you might be proven wrong."
Mo Lan: "Shut up."
Han Shuang watched as her mistress frowned one moment and laughed the next. She had been following her for so long and had never seen her expression so conflicted.
"Master, should I dispose of him?"
"Let's take a look first."
At this moment, Qin Su and the others circled around in the maze several times before finally realizing that something was wrong.
It's like being trapped in a maze, unable to find a way out.
"Master, this fog is a bit eerie."
Without wind, he cautiously surveyed the surrounding misty mountains and forests. Everything was fine before he went up the mountain, so the fog seemed strange and even a bit eerie.
"Yes, Master, it still feels chilly." Tingyu said, rubbing his arms. The gust of cold wind had made his hair stand on end.
Qin Su stood still, lost in thought for a moment. Aside from the thick, gray fog, she could vaguely make out some mixed trees.
"Someone arrived before us and has set up a diversion here. Be careful of hidden attacks."
"Who's so shameless? Doing this so late at night, it's creepy." Tingyu complained, holding her black iron fan. "What do we do now?"
Wufeng patted Tingyu on the shoulder, "What are you afraid of? People make this thing for no reason other than to play tricks."
“But we can’t get into the mountain. It’s not good to keep going in circles like this.” Tingyu snorted. “Master, this fog isn’t poisonous. It’s only effective at night. It dissipates as soon as the sun comes out during the day. How about we go down the mountain first and come back early tomorrow morning?”
Wu Feng gripped the hilt of his sword and shouted angrily, "Who's lurking around like that? Show yourself and let's fight!"
"That's right, what kind of skill is it to play tricks? Only a real hero can fight me with real swords."
"······"
The tranquil mountain forest was so quiet that it seemed as if no one else existed besides them; there wasn't a sound to be heard.
Qin Su glanced at the sparse stars overhead. "There's no rush. Let's go down the mountain first."
In the blink of an eye, the group disappeared into the night.
Once everyone was out of sight, Mo Lan stepped out from the side, stroking the pointer in her hand and murmuring softly.
"Looks like this is a real piece of meat; everyone wants a bite!"
"Master, is there any way to deal with this?" Those people look unusual, and if a conflict breaks out, the outcome is unpredictable.
"Iron ore is such an attractive resource, it's not surprising that it attracts some people to come and search for treasure." Since Qin Su has come, she probably won't give up easily; the two of them are destined to clash.
But that's fine, since there was never any real friendship to begin with, there's no burden in the face of confrontation.
Back at the encampment, Mo Lan called Tie Niu and the others over.
"Are you sure you didn't encounter anyone else when you were exploring for iron ore?"
"Why does the boss ask such a question?"
"A group of people with the same goal as us just came down the mountain."
Tie Niu and Cui Sheng exchanged a glance and quickly shook their heads. "Boss, Tianjiao Peak is quite large. It wouldn't be surprising if we didn't encounter them if they were scouting from the other side."
After all, Tianjiao Peak doesn't only have one entrance, and they don't know how those people got here.
