Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Once they were a distance away, Wang Yuyu came to her senses. "Wait a minute, shouldn't I have scared them a little? Why did I run away?"

"What a great opportunity! How can we waste it like this?"

"Yes, yes, let's go back and scare them. Let's go back now..."

Wang Yuyu acted on her thought immediately, turning around and walking back.

Upon arriving near the boulder, Wang Yu hid in the shadows and observed it quietly for a while before deciding to start from above.

What can be heard but not seen is more likely to instill fear.

Wang Yuyu's lips curled up as she slowly retreated into the deeper darkness.

A short while later, Deng Tianhua, who was sitting by the fire keeping watch, suddenly heard a strange sound. He looked up abruptly and looked around in confusion.

What was that sound?

Deng Tianhua listened carefully. "It sounds like something is rubbing together?"

"Could it be that we've encountered a ghost?"

The thought that a ghost might be lurking in the shadows, grinding its teeth and preparing to devour him made Deng Tianhua shudder violently. He hugged himself tightly and stared wide-eyed around.

But it was pitch black all around, and the firelight could only illuminate a small area; he couldn't see anything.

But that faint sound, like a leech clinging to his bone, kept echoing in his ears, making him increasingly frightened, and his body subconsciously moved closer to his companion.

"A ghost, it must be a ghost..."

On the boulder, Wang Yuyu was lying there, occasionally grinding her teeth or scratching the stone with her claws, making various subtle sounds.

At this moment, the person next to Deng Tianhua was awakened by his trembling body and subconsciously reached out to put his hand on Deng Tianhua, wanting him to stop moving.

But Deng Tianhua was already a frightened bird at this moment, and when he was suddenly touched, he immediately let out a scream.

"Ah~"

The sudden scream instantly woke the other four people.

"Holy crap, what's going on? What's going on...?"

"What's going on? Who's calling me...?"

"What happened...?"

Is there danger approaching...?

The four men asked questions all at once, gripping their weapons tightly and nervously observing their surroundings.

After a while, seeing that nothing was wrong around him except Deng Tianhua who was still screaming with his eyes closed, the person next to him immediately slapped him.

With a "smack," a sharp pain on his head woke Deng Tianhua up.

"Ah~"

He clutched his head in agony for a long while, his face contorted with pain, before slowly raising his head and staring at the four people in terror. "A ghost! A ghost!"

The person next to him slapped him again, angrily saying, "What are you yelling about? What ghost are you talking about? I think you're the troublemaker..."

The others nodded in agreement: "Exactly, in this desolate wilderness, where would a ghost come from..."

"What era are we living in? If you want to believe in science, then you don't know that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, beings are not allowed to become spirits..."

"What nonsense! I think you're just scaring yourself..."

Surrounded by the crowd, Deng Tianhua was stunned and muttered to himself, "Could it be that there really are no ghosts? I'm just scaring myself..."

However, Deng Tianhua immediately realized that the faint sound he heard must be real. If others could hear it too, it meant he wasn't lying.

Then he yelled, "Quiet! Stop talking!"

"If you don't believe me, listen for yourselves. I really heard terrifying sounds..."

The four people were stunned by Deng Tianhua's shout and instinctively shut up.

On the boulder, Wang Yu heard Deng Tianhua's words and began to work again.

In an instant, that faint sound was heard by everyone again.

"Holy crap..."

"Oh My God……"

"What the hell is that noise...?"

"There's a ghost..."

The four people gasped in surprise and huddled together in fear.

Deng Tianhua, no longer afraid, rolled his eyes at the four of them: "Now you believe me, right? I wasn't lying to you, there really are ghosts!"

"Listen to that sound! Who else but a ghost could be making it?"

"It can't be someone hiding in the shadows plotting against us, can it?"

"Mmm..."

The four men nodded repeatedly. It wasn't that they were cowardly; it was just that in the middle of nowhere, who wouldn't be afraid of such ghostly noises?

In addition, Deng Tianhua kept saying there were ghosts, there were ghosts, so they already had a hint in their minds. As soon as they heard the sound of ghosts, they immediately thought of it.

Then their brains started to fill in the blanks uncontrollably, and scenes from various horror movies flashed back one by one, incredibly clear, making the group increasingly frightened.

There are no ghosts at all; you're just scaring yourself.

Having already been frightened once, Deng Tianhua had developed some resistance and was now able to look around and check the situation.

"Don't worry, this ghost should be afraid of fire. There are five of us huddled together here, our yang energy is strong, it won't dare come any closer!"

Deng Tianhua added some firewood to the fire, as if to comfort himself or to encourage the others.

With Deng Tianhua's words, the four of them were indeed a little less afraid, staring intently at the fire, as if it gave them an immense sense of security.

On the boulder, Wang Yuyu watched helplessly as the five people quieted down after shouting for a while.

"Sigh, it's still scarier to be alone. When five of us are awake and huddled together for warmth, we're not afraid at all..."

"Fine, I'll handle it myself!"

Wang Yu gritted her teeth and tiptoed backward.

Beneath the boulder, the five people heard the voice growing weaker and weaker, and they were somewhat puzzled.

"It seems to have stopped making any sound. Has that thing left...?"

"There's really no sound now, they must have run away..."

"Give up...?"

"Don't let your guard down, they might be planning something big..."

"Yes, yes, let's not go out. If the fire gets bigger, that ghost won't dare come near..."

The five men immediately picked up firewood and added it to the fire, making it burn brightly.

Suddenly, a tiger's roar rang out, startling the five people.

"Awoo~"

The five of them immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came. In the dark woods, they could vaguely see some trees swaying, and something was coming toward them.

The five men grew increasingly tense, huddling together tightly, their weapons trembling as they pointed forward.

Suddenly, the trembling woods fell silent, which made the five people secretly breathe a sigh of relief. They thought it was something in the darkness that had run away in fear upon seeing the firelight.

"Awoo~"

Suddenly, a deep tiger roar sounded behind them, and Wang Yu leaped out of the darkness, baring his teeth and claws at the five of them.

"what……"

"Oh my god..."

"Holy crap..."

"..."

This startled the five men. Their hearts, which had just calmed down, jumped into their throats. They screamed and jumped up, wildly waving their weapons, trying to scare Wang Yu away.

Seeing the five people's comical expressions, Wang Yuyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you cowards actually dared to go into the mountains to gather wild produce, it's hilarious..."

"Hurry home and take care of your child, don't embarrass yourself in the mountains..."
