Chapter 61

lves.The cookies in the backpack had been softened by water, but now, in order to replenish our energy, we could only eat them. The softened cookies were cold and crumbly, they melted in your mouth li...Looking at the footprints left on the ground, I swallowed nervously. Hong Jie and Chen Jian Sheng's faces weren't looking good either.

We are being spied on.

What's even more frightening is that it's unknown whether this thing is human or a ghost.

That is to say, right now here, there might be more than just the three of us.

Is there anything else

Fear comes from the unknown, and the more we think about it, the more afraid we become. Even Chen Jian Sheng didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

"Chen... Chen, Tu Gong, could it be that one of your group is responsible Do any of you have people with dwarfism or other disabilities in your group" I tried to ask her.

"No," Chen Jian-sheng frowned, "Besides me and Chen Zhiguo, all the other brothers had met with misfortune. Besides, there are no disabled people in our team."

">

Something sudden happened, and we didn't dare to rush on our way. The three of us discussed it and decided to rest at the spot for a night to recover our strength.

At night, we took turns keeping watch and none of us dared to sleep soundly. When it was my turn, I kept watch from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

This bonfire was started by Chen Jian-sheng using a fire starter. There's quite a bit we can burn here, so we collected some already rotten and dried branches and wood.

Our temporary resting place was next to that small earthen mound because there were relatively fewer plants in that area.

Staying by the fire, around 2:30 in the morning, my eyelids were getting heavy with sleep. But now it was my turn to watch the night. I kept telling myself not to fall asleep, but when I just couldn't take it anymore, I pinched my thigh a few times.

Hong Jie and Chen Jian Sheng are now asleep.

I added two more sticks of dry kindling, and I still held on, my head slowly nodding.

"Slap," suddenly, I felt a pain in the back of my head, I don't know who hit me with a small piece of dirt.

Looking down at the small clods of earth rolling away, my sleepiness vanished without a trace.

I broke out in a cold sweat, I was scared.

In the firelight, I slowly turned my head back.

I see, thirty meters ahead of me on the ground, a dwarf is standing.

He wore a large-brimmed hat, and over his body was a tattered black coat, covered in dirt and patched with holes. It looked as if it had been taken off a corpse...

"Dreaming, dreaming within a dream, I must be dreaming," I pinched my lifeline hard, and a jolt of pain shot through me.

"Splat," the little man threw another clod of dirt at me. This time, he missed because his aim was off.

I retreated in fear.

A little bit, he retreated to Chen Jian Sheng's side.

I dared not speak. I nudged Chen Jian Sheng, wanting to wake him up.

He didn't react at first, and I panicked, so I pinched him.

"What are you doing, are you crazy"

He was woken up by me.

I stared at him, my face pale. I silently pointed behind me.

Still half asleep, Chen Jian-sheng glanced at me over his shoulder.

Soon, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Face to face, I can see you very clearly.

His face immediately turned pale.

Chen Jian-sheng lowered his head, his lips trembling as he said: "Don't make a sound, sleep, pretend you didn't see anything."

After he finished speaking, he lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning.

"You guys didn't sleep last night What's with the complexion" Hong Jie asked.

I am now pale, and so is Chen Jian Sheng, because last night, both of us saw that thing.

I've been hesitant and afraid to tell Hongjie about this.

This matter was said by Chen Jian-sheng.

After he finished telling her about his experience last night, Hong Jie turned to me, frowned, and asked, "Yunfeng, is it true"

I clenched my fist and nodded.

Chen Jian-sheng's face was grim as he looked around nervously. He lowered his voice and said, "I told you something was strange. The axe I buried before couldn't have run away on its own. It must be this thing causing trouble."

"Did you see her face" Hongjie asked, frowning.and fainter. Finally, when we emerged from the cave, his voice was gone altogether.In the world of grave robbers, Southern and Northern factions have long-standing feuds. Who would have thought that...
