However, at this moment, a sharp electric sound suddenly came from the communication equipment, as if countless sharp needles were scraping everyone's eardrums. Then, the communication equipment fell into a desperate silence. The team members were shocked and anxiously tried to re-adjust the equipment, but all was in vain. Ouyang Zhenghao anxiously shouted to Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, the communication is interrupted, what should we do? In this isolated place, without communication equipment, we are like blind and deaf people."
Lin Yu frowned, a strong sense of foreboding welling up in his heart: "Don't act rashly. This fog is too strange. If we act rashly, we may fall into greater danger. Everyone, quickly gather together and take care of each other. Don't disperse."
In the thick fog, everyone huddled together tightly, each able to clearly hear the other's rapid breathing and pounding heartbeats. Everyone vigilantly observed the movements around them, their nerves stretched to the limit, like a string ready to break at any moment. Suddenly, a faint cry came from the fog, the voice miserable and mournful, as if countless wronged souls in the Nine Nether Hell were wailing about their tragic fate. The cry drifted faintly in the fog, sometimes far away, sometimes near, making people shudder. The team members' nerves were instantly stretched even tighter by the cry, and their hands unconsciously clenched their weapons tightly, their knuckles turning white from the force.
"What...what is this sound? Is there really a ghost?" A team member said in a trembling voice, fear spreading rapidly in his heart like a tide.
Lin Yu suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Don't scare yourself, there are no ghosts in this world. This sound must have some scientific explanation. We must stay calm. The more it happens at a time like this, the more we must not panic." But in fact, his heart was also full of doubts and uneasiness, and he didn't know what more terrifying things he would encounter next.
The fog grew thicker, and the crying became clearer, as if the "thing" making the crying sound was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared and disappeared in the fog, like a ghost, slowly floating towards them. As the figure got closer, everyone's heartbeats became more rapid, and the tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping them. When the figure finally appeared clearly in front of everyone, they were surprised to find that it was a woman dressed in ancient costumes. The woman's face was as pale as snow, without any blood, and her eyes were empty and lifeless, like two deep black holes, without a trace of life. Her lips were slightly purple, and her footsteps were light, as if weightless, and every step she took brought up a faint mist.
"You... shouldn't have come..." The woman's voice was as ethereal as a ghost, as if it was a whisper from another time and space, echoing faintly in the fog, making people feel creepy.
Lin Yu mustered up his courage, trying hard to keep his voice from trembling, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here? What secrets does this Yellow Springs Road hide?"
The woman didn't answer, but slowly raised a finger, pointing further into the path. Her finger was slender and pale, like a dry branch. Then, her figure gradually dissipated into the mist, like a dream, leaving only the eerie voice that echoed in the fog for a long time.
Ouyang Zhenghao looked at the direction the woman disappeared in and said in a somewhat dry voice, "Lin Yu, what's going on? Why did she point there? Could it be that the key to unlocking the secrets of the Yellow Springs Road is hidden there? Or is there a huge danger lurking there?"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, his gaze firmly fixed on the depths of the path, which was shrouded in fog and filled with the unknown and fear. "No matter what, now that we've come this far, we can't turn back. Perhaps the answer lies at the end of the path. Everyone, follow me closely and keep moving forward. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we must uncover the truth behind this Yellow Springs Road."
Despite their hearts filled with fear and doubt, they mustered their courage and continued along the path, slowly stepping into the unknown and terrifying depths of the fog, like a group of brave yet somewhat helpless adventurers, step by step towards the abyss of fate...
