“And here—” He pointed to the obvious teeth marks on one of the animals, his face unconsciously darkening.
"If I'm not mistaken, these should be marks left by human teeth."
Looking in the direction he pointed, there was a row of neat, tiny bite marks, which showed that the person had quite good teeth.
Wen Jiajia seemed to have thought of something and suddenly jumped out.
"There won't be any zombies or weird things here, will there?" She thought about it and thought. As a nightmare-level dungeon, it wouldn't be surprising if anything appeared.
Yue Qi did not deny it, saying, "We cannot rule out this possibility, so everyone should take precautions. There are definitely potential dangers in places we cannot see."
Next, everyone nervously crossed the woods. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened throughout the journey.
They arrived at the halfway point of Cangyun Mountain without any disturbance. Not far from their sight, Mirror Lake was still shimmering and looked peaceful and serene.
Yue Qi withdrew his gaze. He didn't plan to go down into the water unless absolutely necessary.
So he pointed to the area above, where a road leading directly to the mountaintop had appeared out of nowhere.
"It seems our first stop should still be the Zhang family's old residence on the mountaintop." Yue Qi glanced at the cave entrance not far away and decisively abandoned the idea of going through the cave.
“Let’s follow this new road. Since it’s here, it must have some significance.”
Everyone had similar thoughts, and no one raised any objections. So, in the end, everyone followed suit.
As soon as Fang stepped onto the path, he immediately sensed the difference.
This path was clearly rarely used. It was very narrow, barely wide enough for one person, and overgrown with weeds on both sides, with unusually lush vegetation.
Strangely, there wasn't a single weed on the path.
After walking for a while, Yue Qi came to a fork in the road and had to stop.
"Alright, here's the problem: there are two roads ahead, which one should we take? — Wen Jiajia, come and take a look!"
Yue Qi had always known that Wen Jiajia was protected by something in secret. So, in situations like this, going to her was the right thing to do.
Wen Jiajia reluctantly stepped forward. Looking at the two identical forks in the road in front of her, she felt completely lost. She couldn't just guess one of them.
"Master, don't go the one on the right!" the system suddenly reminded her.
Wen Jiajia's eyes lit up, "System, you've recovered now?"
The system's voice still sounded weak and listless, "Master, this is the territory of a Gold-Rank Title Monster, and I can't fight it. However, I can still give you a heads-up about the danger—there are a large number of zombie monsters sleeping on the right-hand path. If you go in, they will tear you apart alive!"
"That terrifying?!" Wen Jiajia immediately decided to go to the left. Just to be on the safe side, she still asked a question.
"If I go to the left, there shouldn't be any left, right?"
"No, there are some on the left too, just far fewer."
Damn! It seems that no matter what, we'll have to force our way through.
Wen Jiajia then released seven or eight tall, powerful, and strange pets in one go, which surrounded the six people.
Suddenly, an ancient-looking spear appeared in her hand, emanating a chilling aura. She then let out a loud shout.
"Get your weapons ready! There are strange things on both of these paths; we have to get through!"
Wen Jiajia pointed her spear to the left and said with great certainty, "If you trust me, then take this route."
"good!"
Yue Qi flashed and darted onto the path on the left. Behind him, the nameless swordsman also prepared to attack.
Yan Che went even further, a light blue protective shield rose from his body, enveloping everyone around him.
Sun Ning and his two companions were completely stunned by their extravagant and wealthy demeanor. Their new teammates were indeed all incredibly wealthy and powerful!
The group set off again, and this time, not long after, they saw scattered limbs and pieces of flesh ahead, and several stiff skeletons wandering aimlessly by the roadside.
Suddenly, the skeleton closest to them raised its head and stared intently at the six people. Then, the skeleton transformed and swiftly ran towards them.
"My God, how can these skeletons move so fast!"
Guo Hu screamed. At the forefront, Yue Qi, along with several strange pets, was already fighting the skeletons. And the commotion was getting louder and louder, with all the skeletons that had been wandering around nearby rushing towards them.
Yan Che's protective shield immediately felt the pressure, but he wasn't worried at all, since this thing burned spirit coins. He had plenty of spirit coins!
Wen Jiajia, who had been hesitant, finally couldn't sit still any longer as more and more skeletons gathered. She took the initiative to step out of the protective shield.
"Yan Che, keep an eye on everyone, I'm going to help!"
With a sweep of her spear, Wen Jiajia charged majestically into the horde of skeletons. As she moved, all the approaching skeletons were frozen solid.
Then Miss Wen deftly threw out a small black ball, and with a "boom," several skeletons were blasted into a pile of broken bones.
"Wow, Sister Wen is so amazing!" Su Su's eyes sparkled; she had become a little fangirl of someone.
Yue Qi's side was even more decisive. A dark thundercloud loomed overhead, and with a flash of lightning, a skeleton turned to ashes. Soon after, a vacuum appeared around him.
Unfortunately, despite their efforts, they couldn't keep up with the ever-increasing number of skeletons, and after ten minutes, they hadn't made any progress.
Yan Che, the wealthy man at the back, couldn't stand it any longer and shouted loudly.
"Wen Jiajia, are you sure we haven't taken the wrong path? Should we turn back and take another one?"
"roll--!!"
Provoked, Miss Wen unleashed seven or eight explosive balls in one go.
"Boom—" "Boom—" "Boom—"
Within a thick fog, not far to their side, a hole was suddenly blasted open in the ground after a violent bombardment. The hole seemed flimsy, continuing to collapse.
"Oh no, everyone, retreat immediately!"
Yue Qi reacted immediately, leading the main force to retreat while fighting.
A minute later, the cave entrance finally stopped expanding. Wen Jiajia sent one of her flying monsters directly to the cave entrance to scout ahead.
Before long, the strange flying creature returned and chattered away at Wen Jiajia.
Wen Jiajia's expression brightened. "There's a path below, and there are even steps. The key point is that there aren't any skeletons there. Maybe the way out is down there."
Yue Qi made a decisive decision: "Get down!"
