Chapter 155

Daqishan.

It's not really a mountain, though.

It sits low in the center of Hecheng City, at an altitude of about 300 meters, which would be considered a small hill elsewhere.

But its prime location, surrounded by streets on all sides, makes it look like a bonsai casually sculpted by the city.

There are many people during the day and quite a few at night. It's almost midnight now, and there are still a few beams of flashlight beams shining on the mountain path, with small groups of people climbing at night.

now.

Two girls walked side by side on a stone staircase halfway up the mountain.

The streetlights were far apart, and the light was weak, making the blue and white colors appear somewhat grayish.

However, the school badge representing Hecheng No.1 Middle School can still be seen on the clothes.

On the left is a girl with a ponytail and two wisps of hair hanging down her forehead.

She turned her head to look at her companion beside her.

"Keep going, Xiaoqin! We're halfway up the mountain, and there's about a third left to reach the summit."

The girl she called Xiaoqin was a round-faced girl with short, ear-length hair and a few freckles scattered on either side of her nose.

He was panting heavily, his chest heaving, his face flushed red, his hands supporting his knees, his whole body curled up like a shrimp.

"Wu Nian, my sister————"

She was struggling to breathe, and her voice was broken and intermittent.

"I really can't climb anymore, I really need to rest. If you keep going, you'll have to call an ambulance."

Wu Nian stood to the side, glanced down at her, and was somewhat speechless.

The mountain is only a little over 300 meters high, with a well-maintained slope, and there are several pavilions along the way.

The asphalt road around the mountain outside is gentler, almost like walking on flat ground, except for a few remote, wild paths that are a bit steep and tiring on the legs.

If she walks briskly, she can reach the top in about half an hour, and a round trip takes more than an hour and a half.

But this guy, instead of staying until almost 8 o'clock, was still wandering around halfway up the mountain.

"Don't you want to lose weight and become more attractive so you can go to the concert?"

Wu Nian crossed his arms, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.

"And at this rate, we might not even get home by 10 p.m., and my mother will definitely yell at me to death."

.

Xiaoqin waved her hand and simply plopped down on the stone steps, completely disregarding her image.

"It's okay, I'll talk to Auntie."

Anyway, we live across from each other, so if all else fails, I can sleep at your place.

Wu Nian opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then swallowed it back. She really couldn't do anything about this guy, and sighed.

"Then take a break. But your stamina is really bad. No wonder you only got nine points in the physical education exam in middle school."

As she spoke, she prepared to sit down and reached into her bag for her water bottle.

She finally had a day off today, and she originally planned to stay home and lie down, or go shopping.

As a result, this best friend, childhood friend, and classmate insisted on dragging her to go hiking to exercise. They agreed on the terms, but she ended up having leg and back pain the whole way.

She was already starting to regret agreeing to the trip.

My good friend has a great personality, but she lacks perseverance and tends to give up halfway through things.

Just as she was thinking this, and was about to sit down, she saw her best friend, who had been sprawled on the ground, suddenly stand up.

His movements were incredibly swift.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Nian was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused. She looked at her with a puzzled expression, then at the ground, wondering if she had sat on something.

Xiaoqin didn't reply. Instead, she reached out and patted Wu Nian's shoulder, her expression changing to a serious one.

"Nian, how can you give up halfway through something? We need to keep going and keep climbing!"

Wu Nian opened her mouth.

"Holy crap, what's wrong with you now, sis? Didn't you say you wanted to rest—"

She stopped herself halfway through her sentence.

Because she saw Xiaoqin winking at her.

The two grew up together and lived across from each other for over a decade, so they had a certain level of understanding.

Wu Nian raised her eyelids and looked in the direction she had turned her head.

Below the stone steps, a figure was seen climbing up.

There are quite a few people hiking at night, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have dared to come.

We encountered several groups along the way, nothing unusual.

But this one is a little different.

This is a young man, around twenty years old, with a tall and slender figure.

He wore a gray coat over his clothes, a plain crew neck shirt underneath, jeans, and sneakers.

She was dressed casually, but her face was undeniably striking.

With clear features, sharp contours, and slightly high brow bones that cast a small shadow in the dim light of the streetlights, a straight nose, and a clean jawline, he looked like he had stepped out of an anime.

He was holding a small white dog on a leash and was slowly turning onto a side road.

Wu Nian withdrew her gaze and glanced at Xiao Qin.

The latter was staring in that direction, his eyes practically glued to it.

She sighed inwardly.

My best friend is a total sucker for good looks; she can't resist anyone who's attractive.

I used to be so obsessed with my idols, it's no wonder I couldn't even move when I saw this face.

But then again.

She couldn't help but glance back at the figure that had already disappeared into the shadows of the side road.

She is indeed better looking than those celebrities on screen.

Wu Nian said, "Stop looking, the person has already gone far away. If you really like them, just ask for their contact information."

This person doesn't look very old; they're probably just starting university.

Xiaoqin shook her head.

"Forget it, I know my own limitations. I'm not good enough for a handsome guy like that. I can only admire him from afar. I can't possibly have a chance with him. Besides, our main task right now is to study."

She paused, then continued.

"However, it seems that the way that person went is a small path."

What was he doing there? I remember a news report not long ago about someone finding several people hanging on a secluded path, their bodies dangling and swaying. It almost scared the person who found them to death.

"Who knows, maybe he went to the toilet."

Wu Niandao.

"Since you're so curious, why don't you go take a look?"

"Then I'll be a pervert."

Xiaoqin glanced at her speechlessly.

"Speaking of which, you were quite engrossed in what you were looking at just now, did you find something you liked too?"

"What do you mean?"

Wu Nian vehemently denied it.

You must be seeing things.

"Yeah?"

"certainly!"

After this delay, the two of them did not continue to rest.

Soon, they were playfully teasing each other as they continued up the stone steps of the main road.

The young man walked unhurriedly along the mountain path; it was Hu Long.

He could hear the conversation between the two people behind him clearly.

He was holding a white dog on a leash.

To be precise, it is Bai Yao who appears as a white dog to others after undergoing the Divine Art.

One end of the chain was held in his hand, while the other end was locked around Bai Yao's neck.

Bai Yao crawled forward on all fours like a real animal, the iron chain around his neck making a soft clanging sound with each movement.

Bai Yao led the way and soon led Hu Long onto a side road.

There are streetlights on the main mountain road. Although they are not bright, at least you can see the stone steps under your feet.

This path, however, was quite different. The trees on both sides blocked out the sun, completely obscuring the already faint moonlight, making it darker and darker the further you went in.

Later on, it became so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

However, this darkness was no different from daytime for Hulong.

Bai Yao led the way.

The two quickly veered off the path and disappeared completely into the depths of the mountains and forests.

The branches and leaves overhead grew even denser, blocking out all the sunlight.

Looking out through the gaps in the leaves, the distant city lights shone brightly, neon lights and traffic weaving a sea of ​​light, as if they were two different worlds compared to the darkness and desolation of this place.

Suddenly, a noise came from ahead.

Five or six people were sitting in a circle around a bonfire. The flames licked at the branches, casting an uncertain light on the surroundings.

A few metal skewers and a half-empty plastic cup were scattered nearby, and the faint aroma of sizzling skewers wafted in the air.

"Hey friend, wanna come over and grab something to eat?"

A girl with long, straight black hair and fair skin stood up, waved to Hu Long, and smiled warmly.

The others also looked over, their faces displaying just the right amount of friendliness.

The firelight reflected on their faces, making their skin appear almost translucent white.

"act recklessly."

Hu Long said it casually, without even stopping.

laugh!

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of true energy shot out, the sharp sound of it breaking through the air particularly jarring in the silent forest.

Those figures didn't even have time to react before they were pierced through by the true energy of qi and blood.

"ah"

The short, piercing scream only lasted half a note before abruptly stopping.

Several figures faded and dissolved quickly, like smoke and dust blown away by the wind, and finally disappeared completely into the night.

The campfire and the kebabs disappeared as well, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Only a few withered leaves, curled up by the lingering heat, remained, swirling in the night wind.

"That's all."

"6

Zhong Hulong frowned.

"What's going on with these strange spirits?"

As far as he knew, there were many strange spirits, but the kind that were formed from the souls of the dead were not so common.

Ordinary people, without the nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, have no chance of transforming into evil spirits after death.

The soul can only stay in the human world for a few hours at most. Once the time is up, it evaporates like dew and the soul is scattered.

But those few creatures just now had clearly already taken on physical forms.

It still retains intelligence and knows how to deceive people, making it no different from an evil spirit.

"These guys must have been nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that escaped from that blessed land, which is why they didn't dissipate but instead grew stronger day by day."

Bai Yao explained from the side.

As he spoke, he came to the rock wall on one side and stopped in front of an inconspicuous stone wall.

"This is the entrance."
