3024 Fallen
It was a pity that he was unable to meet such a person. He really didn’t know what person could have such foresight.
Although they said that they were resting in the village that night, they left quietly at night and headed towards Shadow Mountain. They had planned to explore the situation in Shadow Mountain, and it would be more convenient to do this under the cover of the night.
“You two, just follow behind me!” The middle-aged man said, and waved his horsetail whisk as a gesture for Wanyan Shisan and Feng Jiu to follow behind him.
Feng Jiu smiled: “That’s not a very good idea is it?”
“What’s wrong with that? I’m older than you so I should protect you and take the lead.” The middle-aged man said in a stern manner with the demeanour of an elder.
Wanyan Shisan stopped Feng Jiu who was still talking and said with a smile: “That’s great, we are really lucky to have Immortal lead the way for us.”
The middle-aged man appeared to be quite satisfied when he heard this, and he nodded slightly in response, then he walked ahead of them.
Feng Jiu glanced at Wanyan Shisan, she hadn’t expected him to be so scheming. That Immortal’s strength wasn’t even as strong as Wanyan Shisan’s, and naturally he wasn’t as strong as her. It felt a little deceitful to let him take the lead!
Even though she was thick-skinned, she also felt a little embarrassed.
The three of them walked forward and listened to the chirping of the insects in the night. As the night darkened, they could see the road ahead clearly from the faint light above their heads.
As they got closer to Shadow Mountain, she felt that the air she breathed in was getting colder and colder. She urged the spirit energy in her body to warm her body up. While she looked forward, she saw a faint light floating in the dense forest in front of her in the night making a humming sound.
The three of them entered the dense forest and the middle-aged man who was walking in front looked at the dark green light and snorted softly: “These evil doers!” As soon as his voice fell, he waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and a breath of spirit energy shot out.
“Swish!”
One of the dark green rays of light was hit and in an instant, it let out a scream, while the others quickly scattered and fled. When he heard the blood-curdling screams piercing through the night, the middle-aged man seemed a little embarrassed.
He looked back at Wanyan Shisan and Feng Jiu: “I didn’t expect it to be so loud.”
Wanyan Shisan smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter. This forest is so big, the howls of ghosts can be heard from time to time. It won’t attract any attention.”
“Well, let’s keep going then! You follow… ah!”
Before he could finish his words, his whole body reacted as if he had touched a trap. A rustling sound came from their surroundings and a huge net enclosed him. The middle-aged man was caught in the giant net and hung up.
Wanyan Shisan and Feng Jiu were slightly startled. They looked at the middle-aged man who was hanging in the air struggling with some astonishment and asked: “Immortal, are you fine?” When they saw the stern-faced Immortal Person being hoisted up and dangled in midair, the two of them held back their smiles that were about to appear on their faces.
“I’m fine, don’t worry…”
Before he could finish speaking, they heard a sharp sound. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw several sharp arrows had shot out from somewhere in the forest. They were all aimed at the middle-aged man who was hanging from the net.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man’s expression changed suddenly, and a look of anxiety flashed across his eyes: “Quick, save me and get me down from here!”
