Chapter 45 Response
Everyone was panicking and just wanted to get down the mountain quickly, so they moved forward quickly.

The so-called Qianli Mountain was just a small hill the size of a steamed bun. It took Jiang Yao and others only a dozen minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to the vicinity of the grove.

But now, they have been walking down the mountain for more than half an hour.

"I seem to remember that we didn't pass any groves when we went up the mountain. Where did those trees in front come from?"

"Look at the ground. There are beer bottles that have been drunk, and traces of a bonfire that has just burned."

"Shit, this is where we were just now."

"We walked all the way down the mountain for so long, but we kept going in circles and ended up back where we started."

"Could this be the ghost wall that the old people occasionally mention?"

……

The extremely simple homemade torches in everyone's hands only burned for a few minutes before they were extinguished.

In the night sky at the end of August, not even the shadow of the crescent moon could be seen, only a few stars twinkling in the sky.

The extremely dense night enveloped the top of the mountain. When people were a little further away, everything they saw was blurry and hazy.

If Tong Gang hadn't accidentally stepped on an empty wine bottle on the ground and picked it up to look at it, the others would not have noticed that they had walked back to the same place.

"Uncle Yao, the last time Wang Dahai got into trouble, you gave him warning signs first, but he didn't believe you, so he ended up like that."

"You often go to that carpenter Xu. Have you learned anything from him?"

"In our current situation, do you have any good ideas to lead us out of this predicament?"

……

Everyone in the group looked at each other, and finally most of their eyes fell on Jiang Yao.

The person who spoke at this moment was naturally Bingzai. He was the only one who knew that Jiang Yao often went to Carpenter Xu's house with good wine and delicious food.

For this, he once made fun of Jiang Yao.

As for the fact that he had also gone to see Carpenter Xu because of Wang Dahai's death, he had long forgotten it.

After all, he had never really seen that kind of thing. After Wang Dahai's death, he was safe and sound. In his opinion, the thirty-three yuan he spent was like thrown into water, without even a bubble.

At this moment, it would have been fine if they had just dreamed about Huang Cuicui. They were unable to go down the mountain, and they went around and around and ended up back to where they started.

After experiencing such a strange incident personally, Bingzai was really scared.

This is true for him, and for others as well.

Not knowing how to deal with the current situation, they could only place their hopes on Jiang Yao.

After all, it was Jiang Yao who first brought up the matter of Huang Cuicui. Since he was capable of detecting this abnormality, perhaps he could really come up with a way to escape from this predicament?
Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Jiang Yao frowned and said nothing, with his eyes slightly closed, his attention focused on his light screen panel.

The panel was empty, still simply a name and two skills, without any hints about the disaster.

"Tong Gang, Gou Zi, light the fire again."

"If you can't get out, then don't leave."

"That ghost thing can trap us for a while, but can it trap us for a lifetime?"

"Everyone, stay alert. You don't need to wait until dawn. Just wait until the rooster crows, and the so-called ghost wall will fall apart on its own!"

Jiang Yao frowned and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, looked at everyone fiercely, and ordered. "Ah... do you want to stay here?"

"It's only eleven o'clock at night now. We still have several hours to wait until dawn. How can we endure this?"

"When I think of that thing nearby, I get goose bumps all over my body. I can't stay here for even a few minutes, let alone a few hours."

"Jiang Yao, are we just going to wait here? Don't you have any other way to take us down the mountain?"

"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm scared!"

……

As soon as Jiang Yao said this, others immediately started talking.

Tong Gang, Gou Zi and other men might be equally scared in their hearts, but at least they seemed to be calm on the surface.

The fear of the girls, Fangfang and Xiaoli, was already written all over their faces, and even their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I'm a human, not a god. What good way can I have to deal with that kind of evil thing!" Jiang Yao shrugged and responded unhappily.

Then he continued, "I am only offering my suggestion. If anyone is unwilling to wait and insists on going down the mountain, I will not force them."

"But before that, I can kindly remind you that that kind of evil thing should not be able to attack us directly. It can only affect our perception to a certain extent."

"For example, you see a flat road, but when you step on it, you step on empty space and fall down the hillside, with a bloody head. You may even die."

"We just walked along the downhill road, but ended up going around and around and back to the grove. If that thing has this ability, then it must not be a problem for it to do what I just said."

"So, my advice is don't go anywhere, just stay where you are and wait for daybreak."

"Also, that thing should have the ability to enter dreams. Before dawn, we should each supervise it and never fall asleep accidentally."

"That's all I have to say, what do you think?"

After saying this, Jiang Yao turned his gaze towards the other people around him.

"Well! What Jiang Yao said does make sense. Just do as he says. There will definitely be no problem on my end!" After looking at each other and a long silence, Tong Gang was the first to speak.

After saying this, he didn't care what anyone else did, he gathered the nearby firewood and hay, and began to build a fire silently.

"I agree with Jiang Yao. Let's light the fire first and then we can all sit around it."

"No one should run around. Even if you have to pee urgently, just pee in your pants!" Gou Zi echoed.

With his help, a lot of firewood and hay were collected, and the extinguished bonfire soon began to burn again.

A group of people were sitting around the fire, almost touching each other.

Xiaoli and Fangfang even hugged Tong Gangbing directly.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoyu also followed suit and went straight into Jiang Yao's arms. Perhaps only in this way could she ease the fear in her heart and make her feel a little safe and warm.

Jiang Yao, who had always deliberately kept a distance from her, had already frowned, but he didn't have the heart to push her away.

After all, a big part of the reason why Xiaoyu came here was because of me.

Otherwise, she would have returned to the dormitory and slept soundly. How could she have encountered this incident and become so scared now?
