Chapter 107

Ren Baqian walked back to where he came from . The few trees that previously caught his attention were filled with snakes now, rendering Ren Baqian speechless .

The light from the campfire could not reach this place either . Ren Baqian looked at the surrounding pitch-black forest . He heard a weird cry that was released by an unknown beast . After standing there for a while, he turned around and walked back to the campfire and sat down .

Looking at Ning Caichen, Ren Baqian thought of the huge rock .

However, Ning Caichen was only roughly 1 . 6 meters tall . Even if Ren Baqian stood on his shoulders, he still couldn't get up onto the rock . After thinking about it, Ren Baqian dropped this idea . Perhaps he should just stay here .

Right now, the sky had completely darkened . He reckoned the time now should be around 9 p . m . It was no longer safe for him to roam around the forest .

"Ooooooowhooo!" A wolf howl resounded through the air from afar . The forest had become much more sinister at night .

Ren Baqian and Ning Caichen sat beside the campfire in a daze . Feeling bored, Ren Baqian chit-chatted with Ning Caichen . Most of the time, Ning Caichen was talking and Ren Baqian was listening to him .

 

"Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?" Ren Baqian suddenly asked .

Previously, he had heard Ning Caichen talk about his encounters on his way to Lan City . Most of them were queer in nature . However, Ren Baqian did not know whether they were real or fake .

In any case, he felt what Ning Caichen had said was a bunch of bullsh*t .

Right now, both of them were in the wild guarding a campfire while listening to the howl of wild beasts from afar . As such, Ren Baqian suddenly thought of this question .

A solemn look appeared on Ning Caichen's face as he replied, "Of course there are ghosts in this world . On the way to Lan City, I walked past a village . There was no one in the village, and every household had their windows and doors tightly closed . As I walked from the front of the village to its back, I noticed not a single door was opened . After the sky darkened, all the villagers suddenly came out of their houses, and the village began to bustle with noise and excitement . There were adults and children . To welcome me, an outsider, they started a bonfire, just like ours now but larger . Then, the villages took out food from their houses for everyone to share . Soon after, all of them gathered around the bonfire to sing and dance . From their clothing, I could tell that they weren't rich . Their children were even running around naked . However, they still could afford to take food out from their houses to share with everyone . "

When Ning Caichen reached this part of the story, the reflection of the campfire in his eyes seemed to depict what happened that night . There was a look of reminiscence and a smile on his face .

"They were really cordial, and the alcohol they brewed was very strong . I fell asleep after drinking only half a bowl . When I woke up the second morning, I realized I was lying in the center of the village . The village had been cleaned up, and every household was tightly shut again . At that time, I didn't know what was going on, and I couldn't find anyone . Eventually, I left that village . After walking for half a day, I arrived at another village . While I was asking for some water from one of the villagers, I casually asked him what was going on with that particular village . Guess what he told me?"

 

Ning Caichen turned around and asked Ren Baqian .

"Everyone in that village died?" Ren Baqian made a guess .

Combining everything you have told, that should be the case, right?

Ning Caichen nodded his head furiously and replied, "Yes, you're right . Due to a plague tens of years ago, everyone in that village had died . The village that I went to subsequently was built by the survivors of that village . "

"This is just a story, right?" Ren Baqian had an incredulous look on his face . Ren Baqian had heard of such stories countless times .

"I swear on my life, this is absolutely true," Ning Caichen swore .

Ren Baqian looked at him and turned his head around . Following which, he picked up a wooden stick and began writing on the ground . Since he was bored, he practiced writing the words that he learnt from this world .

  

He did not really believe Ning Caichen's words .

From his experience, he understood that oaths were the most untrustworthy words of a.s.surance . Of course, perhaps the people in this world treated oaths very seriously, but this made no difference to him at all .

 

"Afterwards, I specially paid a visit to the cemetery beside that village to pay my respect," Ning Caichen continued .

Ren Baqian did not respond him . He raised his head and looked at the starry night sky .

At this moment, other than the distant beast howls, he could hear the crackle of the campfire .

  

After a while, Ning Caichen nudged his shoulder .

Ren Baqian turned around and looked at him . Ning Caichen had a solemn face on his face . He said, "Something is staring at us . "

"Where? How do you know?" Ren Baqian was puzzled . He looked around at his surroundings . Very soon, Ren Baqian understood how Ning Caichen knew something was staring at them . That was because he saw them too .

Over ten pairs of green-colored eyes glowed from within the pitch-black forest .

Ren Baqian slowly stood up . He raised his crossbow and asked softly, "What are those things?"

"They are very near, we will know soon . " Ning Caichen followed Ren Baqian's actions . However, Ren Baqian had a crossbow in his hand, and Ning Caichen's hands were empty . Ning Caichen quickly withdrew a burning tree branch from the campfire .

  

Sweat dripped down Ren Baqian's forehead .

It was utterly terrible to encounter wild beasts in the middle of the night .

The worse thing was there wasn't only one beast but a group of them .

It was so dark out there, and neither of them dared to roam the place as it was far too dangerous . A snake alone could take both of their lives . Furthermore, both of them definitely couldn't outrun those beasts .

"Are they scared of fire?" Ren Baqian mumbled to himself . Usually, wild beasts were afraid of fire . Perhaps they would be safer around the campfire .

Furthermore, the campfire was roaring right now . This set Ren Baqian's mind at ease .

  

"They are coming out . " By the time Ning Caichen finished his sentence, the few figures in the dark had already revealed themselves .

The first few to step out of the darkness were huge huskies .

Or rather, wild wolves .

However, they really did look like huskies .

Their bodies were larger than huskies' and they were roughly 1 meter tall, appearing extremely huge .

There was a ruthless look in all of their eyes . Their mouths were slightly opened, revealing their sharp fangs . They appeared as though they had already regarded Ren Baqian and Ning Caichen as their dinner .

"Ning Caichen, if you have any secret weapons, take them out now . Right now, there are only two of us, you can stop acting weak . " When Ren Baqian saw the wolves stepping out of the darkness one by one, a cold s.h.i.+ver went down his spine . His other hand began to reach for his handgun .

With a serious look on his face, Ning Caichen said, "Deputy Ren, can't you deal with them?"

"What do you think? Can't you tell I never learned martial arts before?" Ren Baqian said irritably . "I can't even defeat one of them, our lives depend on you now . If you can't do anything, we will become their dinner tonight . "

"Alright, I get it . " Ning Caichen nodded his head .

 

Following which, Ning Caichen straightened his back and raised one of his hands . Then, he opened up his palms and pointed his fingers towards the sky and yelled, "Sword, come!"

An awesome aura exuded from his body .

Upon seeing Ning Caichen finally do something, Ren Baqian felt overjoyed . Ning Caichen was indeed acting weak . With Ning Caichen around, it seemed that he would be safe tonight .

  

Feeling overjoyed, Ren Baqian even took a second look at Ning Caichen's posture . He had no choice but to admit that Ning Caichen looked quite cool . He had typical pretty face, his back was straight, his hands were raised while yelling, "Sword, come!" .

Excluding Ning Caichen's clothes, Ren Baqian would give his posture eight marks of ten .

He would give Ning Caichen full marks after he had killed these wolves .

One minute had pa.s.sed… Two minutes had pa.s.sed… More than ten wolves had stepped out from the forest . However, they were in no rush to attack Ren Baqian and Ning Caichen . Ren Baqian wondered if they were afraid of the campfire or they were just in no hurry .

Ning Caichen still maintained that posture .

"What's the matter?" Ren Baqian was puzzled .

  

"Great Xia is too far from Dayao, the sword will take some time to fly here…"

Upon hearing these words, Ren Baqian almost spat out a mouthful of blood .
