Chapter 169: Strange Forest



"Brother Xiaofei, why do I feel that this place is getting more and more gloomy! And I always feel that there are several pairs of eyes watching us."

Lin Yao, who was following next to him, nervously raised his hand and pulled at the corner of Bai Xiaofei's clothes.

Bai Xiaofei was also frightened.

He tried to stay calm, turned his head to look at Lin Yao, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid! It's possible that the villagers here saw the two outsiders like us, so they hid behind and watched us! Let's see if we can find an old man to ask. Although they are wary of us outsiders, it's not that everyone is hiding behind and secretly watching us."

Although Lin Yao felt creepy, he could only believe what Bai Xiaofei said.

The two continued walking, and as they passed all the houses in the town, they could only see their double doors closed. Apart from a few scattered street lights, nothing else could be seen.

Lin Yao looked at Bai Xiaofei beside him in confusion.

Bai Xiaofei glanced at Lin Yao again and shook his head slightly to signal him not to talk nonsense.

But as they went deeper, the dark shadow following closely behind them followed Yue Ji.

Bai Xiaofei became more and more certain that what he had just said was correct.

This group of people probably don't trust outsiders, so they want to watch secretly from behind.

But he didn't expect to be discovered by Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei curled his lips, pulled Lin Yao's arm without leaving a trace, and then motioned him to slow down. The two of them walked towards the path next to them, intending to come to a quiet place and ask the villagers who followed them what they wanted to do.

The deeper they went into the path, the more confident Bai Xiaofei felt.

He took a deep breath and decisively pulled Lin Yao to look back.

You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.

The smile on Bai Xiaofei's face froze instantly when he saw the group of people following him.

Yes!

The group of people in front of me had lifeless eyes and walked in a floating but very uniform manner. To be honest, they did not look like human beings walking, but like puppets.

Just like what happened to the Qi family before.

puppet?

Could it be another Star Demon Puppet?

This time, the group of puppets followed the two people to a small intersection. As if they had been given some orders, they suddenly raised their heads with empty eyes and moved at an extremely fast speed, blocking the two people's way in an instant.

The previous puppet was just a puppet, but this time it came back with red light flashing in its eyes.

"not good!"

Bai Xiaofei shouted.

Lin Yao next to him also clenched his fist, ready to fight with them again.

According to Bai Xiaofei's previous experience in dealing with puppets, he only briefly explained his experience to Lin Yao before completely throwing himself into the battle...

The two sides soon started fighting.

It was indeed a bit tiring for two people to deal with almost a hundred people from a village.

Bai Xiaofei and Lin Yao were caught in a tough fight in less than half an hour.

Even though they had destroyed the puppets one by one, the number of them was so large that they could not be dealt with in a short time.

Lin Yao anxiously asked Bai Xiaofei: "Brother Xiaofei, what should we do now?"

"It's not right to continue like this. This group of people must be planning to deal with us. If we don't have the confidence to win this war, I suggest that we quickly find a way to escape."

Bai Xiaofei ate while talking.

He naturally knew this, but the specific place to look for was still under discussion. However, this group of people seemed to want to kill them both, not giving them any chance to breathe. Bai Xiaofei didn't know where to start observing.

When the group of puppets was defeated, the recovery value was gradually increasing, but the system did not tell Bai Xiaofei where to escape this war.

Bai Xiaofei was helpless.

But he also knew that since he had promised the Great Elder to find the young lady, he had to endure any hardship.

Apart from this battle, they will have to be extra careful in future battles, otherwise the long-term battles will only make them both exhausted, and they will become food for the enemy.

"Forget it, let's go first."

Bai Xiaofei shouted at Lin Yao, then pulled his wrist and ran towards the bushes nearby.

But unexpectedly, in his haste, he ended up running into a forest.

Bai Xiaofei and Lin Yao didn't notice the intersection of the forest. They also didn't notice the group of puppets behind them. Even though they were being controlled, they still had an inexplicable fear of the forest.

They paced anxiously at the entrance of the forest, neither breaking through their inner fear and following.

Finally, all the invisible strings on the puppet were cut.

The villagers fell to the ground one by one.

Bai Xiaofei and Lin Yao finally slowed down after running about a few hundred meters into the forest.

But when the two came back to their senses, Bai Xiaofei saw that the white fog in front of him was very thick, and he could not see clearly the way he came, nor the way to leave.

They seemed to be trapped in this fog.

I thought about looking up to see if there was a moon, maybe I could find a glimmer of hope by following the moon. However, I never expected that the trees here were so tall and dense that they actually blocked the sky completely.

Even if you really want to see it clearly, you can't see it in detail.

Bai Xiaofei just felt it was weird.

But at this moment, Lin Yao's nervous voice was heard beside him: "Brother Xiaofei, look quickly."

Bai Xiaofei turned his head in confusion and saw that there was a large number of will-o'-the-wisp hanging in the air where Lin Yao's men were pointing. Those will-o'-the-wisp were not like what you usually see, just a group of fireflies. After approaching, Bai Xiaofei clearly saw that there were human faces in the middle of the will-o'-the-wisp——

A baby's face to be exact.

The baby's face in the ghost fire had its eyes closed and was suspended in mid-air, giving off an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Bai Xiaofei just felt sick, so he pulled Lin Yao to avoid the ghost fires.

But when he turned around, he was frightened by the huge and fat figure next to him.

When he looked carefully, Bai Xiaofei could see the true appearance of the thing.

The skin on his body was all festering. He had four hands and his feet were also fat, covered with festering skin. His ears looked like a goblin's ears and his face looked like a monster's. He was running aimlessly, but it seemed like he was running towards Bai Xiaofei and the other man.

Bai Xiaofei took a deep breath and immediately pulled Lin Yao into the bushes, pinching his nose and not daring to breathe.

After a moment, the monster stopped in front of the two of them.

He sniffed around, and just when his face was about to pounce on Bai Xiaofei's face, a voice came from a distance, and the monster turned around and ran towards that place immediately.

Bai Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked out of the bushes with Lin Yao.

But he didn't see a ghost fire approaching silently.

Then, at the moment when the two turned their heads.

The will-o'-the-wisp exhaled a breath of foul air, which was actually sucked in by two people...
