They seemed to have rehearsed together a thousand times, their teamwork was so perfect.
Soon, they arrived at the forbidden path.
A chilly wind blew through the area, and the temperature seemed several degrees lower than elsewhere.
"I don't want to, I don't want to go... I'm scared..."
Su Muyao stared at the dark intersection, her teeth chattering with fear, and refused to go any further.
