The village was small, but it had a sinister feel even under the bright blue sky.
There are many ghosts.
These ghosts are not afraid of the sun; they float around the village, their lower bodies invisible, and the village is shrouded in mist.
Su Deng whispered to Acha, "Can you smell where they are?"
Acha meowed and jumped out of Su Deng's arms.
Su Deng followed behind it, going deeper into the village along the corners of the houses, and saw several other people with long horns and even reddish-blue skin, covered with all sorts of strange patterns.
There are both men and women.
According to Yan Sizhan, they are the ghost clan.
Its appearance and attire do indeed resemble a terrifying demon.
But it looks like a physical entity, more like a human, and not like a real ghost.
Su Deng had no knowledge in this area and couldn't find anyone to ask, so she could only follow Acha to find out where Taozi and the others were.
The village is nestled against the mountain, and the further in you go, the thicker the fog becomes, to the point that you can barely see the road. Acha slows down.
Su Deng followed closely behind, feeling as if she had walked for a long time without reaching the end, and the houses on both sides remained unchanged.
"Meow~" Acha seemed to realize that they hadn't gone out yet, so she stopped and meowed at Su Deng.
Is it another case of being trapped in a maze?
Su Deng put her hands on her hips, somewhat convinced.
Pop—
Just as she was thinking of a way to get out, a soft sound rang out, and a flame appeared in the thick fog before her eyes.
Dark green!
It was smaller than the palm of my hand, drifting in the gray to almost black fog.
Su Deng paused, then looked around: "Yan Sizhan?"
No one spoke.
However, after leaping a few times in mid-air, the flame moved forward, dispersing the mist in its wake.
Are they clearing a path for her?
No one answered, but the dark green flame was solely from Yan Sizhan.
Su Deng paused for a moment, then bent down, picked up Acha, and followed Huomiao.
Led by the flame, the person and the cat walked forward for about ten minutes. They could feel that they were going uphill and saw a huge torii gate. Behind the torii gate was a cluster of buildings.
The building was very dilapidated, with uneven roof tiles and many stone statues scattered haphazardly in the courtyard.
Most of them are foxes.
Some are big, some are small.
It resembled a dilapidated shrine, surrounded by mist, creating an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
The dark green flame dispersed after bringing them here.
"Meow—!" Acha let out a shrill cry in Su Deng's arms, her smooth black fur standing on end, as if she had sensed some terrifying presence.
Su Deng stroked its fur: "Is your owner here?"
Acha let out a sob, jumped out of her arms, and darted into the dilapidated building.
"Slow down!" Su Deng chased after him, lifting up her wide trousers.
[Trigger Monster 1: Snow Child]

[Trigger Monster 2: Yokai Hayate]
[Monster Details: Legend has it that the Early Fox was a newly sentient white fox who was killed by people who mistook her for a female ghost. Later, the white fox's vengeful spirit caused chaos, and to appease her anger, people sacrificed an infant. This enraged the white fox, who then possessed the infant to take revenge on humanity. Later, she was suppressed by a deity, who built a temple to worship her. The fox demon and the infant merged into one, existing in the form of a monster in human form. (The above information is for reference only; players should explore for more details.)]

Legend says the red demon and the blue demon often appear in pairs, one with a red face and the other with a white face; one wants to befriend humans, and the other hates them (the above is for reference only; players should explore for more details).]
The sudden sound of the system voice caught Su Deng off guard and startled her.
Monster trigger details?
Not only were they announced together, but they also delayed it until now. If it had been any later, her instance would have been over. Why didn't they wait until she died before announcing it?
besides!
The monster's information is already triggered, so why does every single one of them have to end with "Monster information is for reference only"?
Is the information provided by a reputable game system only for reference?
You're insane!!
Su Deng stood there, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, with a thousand, ten thousand curses simmering in her mind.
“404,” she called out.
[404: A system error has occurred. Game quest notifications may be delayed. Please be patient and complete the current game instance.]
Su Deng was speechless: "What's the mission now?"
[404: Rescue the Shrine Maiden Candidate and Escape Ghost Mist Village]
Su Deng's lips twitched: "Why didn't you wait until they were all dead before you said that?"
[404: A system error has occurred. Game quest notifications may be delayed. Please be patient and complete the current game instance.]
Su Deng: "..."
She is now 100% certain that this 404 error is not under the control of the Divine Court's main system.
Taking a deep breath, she followed Acha inside while processing the monster-triggered prompts.
Yuki-Douji, the same Yuki-Douji as Riki Tsunomiya, brings snow wherever she goes and lives by consuming human souls.
