Yu Xian did not just say that. She stood up immediately.
Xie Qiao stretched her arm and pushed her back to the ground. “Don’t go anywhere. Stay here for now.”
If she stayed still and did not get discovered by the ghouls, she would suffer less tonight.
“Alright, then…” Yu Xian did not know what Xie Qiao meant, but after thinking about it, she decided to listen to her.
The three of them did not wear much, but there was a spare blanket in the carriage. The wind was strong, but it was not cold.
Xie Qiao had been secretly looking around.
The number of ghouls she saw now was no less than 20. There were all kinds of ghouls flying here and there. She could feel the abilities of the ghouls more clearly, so whenever there were ghouls floating around, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
Rustling sounds could be heard from time to time.
She could no longer tell if it was the wind or something else.
“I keep feeling like there are wild beasts in this forest, but the wind is too loud, so I can’t tell clearly.” Yu Xian frowned, and her face was a little solemn.
On the way to the capital, she encountered wild beasts, but it was only a wild boar. At that time, she ran fast and did not have any sharp weapons with her, so she could not do anything to the wild boar.
Now, Xie Qiao had a short blade and a crossbow.
If it was a wild boar, she should be able to handle it.
However, the surroundings were a little dark…
Today was neither the beginning nor the end of the moon cycle. Logically speaking, there should be some moonlight, but the sky was cloudy and the moon was hidden. It was so dark that one could hardly see their fingers.
The sound,,,
Seemed to be getting closer and closer.
“Creak, creak…
There was a rhythm, just like the sound of footsteps, but one could also hear the sound of the forest being torn apart.
Yu Xian was protecting someone with one hand, and her gaze was fixed on a spot not far away, trying hard to see clearly.
She was afraid that she would not be able to react in time, so she withdrew another hand and held the short blade, looking like a warrior ready for battle.
Xie Qiao felt she was being stared at by a ghoul.
“I clearly… heard a sound, but…” there was nothing.
Yu Xian also felt that the feeling was too horrifying. She kept feeling that there were enemies around, but she could not see them. Instead, she was worried that the other party would suddenly charge at her…
It was too uncomfortable.
“It’s a ghoul,” Xie Qiao said truthfully. “What you heard was the sound of its mouth gnawing on a bone.”
As for what bone it was, she did not know.
Feng Yingying had goosebumps.
Yu Xian could not help but curse, “So it’s an invisible thing. No wonder it’s so terrifying. It’s already dead, yet it still dares to come out and provoke others. Be careful not to be taken in by the master and vanish into thin air!”
She was not afraid.
She was alive, and the other party was dead. It was not even as good as her!
Xie Qiao’s hand trembled, and then she began to recite the Heart Cleansing Sutra.
Yu Xian could not understand it
She could only hear her mumbling about the old god, the divine formula, and something ominous. She could not understand a single word.
“In my hometown, there was a witch who would also recite spells, but apart from reciting, she could also perform exorcism while dancing… I secretly learned from her when I was young. How about… I do that?” Feng Yingying was a little hesitant.
When she was five or six, she played with the people from her clan, and everyone had secretly watched the witch perform an exorcism.
Xie Qiao heard it, but she was chanting spells, she could not be distracted
Now that she had been discovered by the ghouls, she had to make them leave far away and not dare to get close to her.
“Then… how about you try?” Yu Xian thought for a moment and nodded.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, she would feel more at ease if Feng Yingying did that, right?
