Chapter 631: Human or Ghost, I’ll Know After Taking a Closer Look

“Whether it’s a human or a ghost, I’ll know after I take a closer look,” Quan Jue said indifferently as he walked towards the red figure. However, he had only taken two steps forward when the figure suddenly flashed and disappeared down a small path.

Quan Jue sped up in pursuit, with Huo Chen, Chi Jiao, and Pei Yao following closely behind.

Beitang Lie took a deep breath and quickly let it out before hurriedly catching up to them.

When they reached the intersection, Quan Jue looked around but did not see the red figure.

The dark road was very quiet, and not a single soul could be seen. It was as if that red figure was just an illusion.

“Are there no dogs in this village? Why don’t I hear any dogs barking?” Pei Yao frowned.

Rural residents usually preferred to keep dogs. However, they couldn’t hear any dogs barking in this village. This silence was indeed a little strange.

Also, those identical square-shaped houses looked like a row of coffins.

“The Shi Ma Tribe don’t like dogs. They think dogs are the most terrifying animals in the world,” Beitang Lie explained.

Pei Yao was dumbstruck.

She felt rather aggrieved for all the adorable dogs in the world.

“Let’s continue walking. Wild beasts roam around this place at night. It’s best if we can find a place to stay as soon as possible,” Huo Chen said slowly.

The others had no objections.

After walking around the village for another 20 minutes, Huo Chen finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.

A few meters in front of the courtyard was a smelly pit that was emitting a foul smell.

“It’s here,” Huo Chen said as he reached out to knock on the door.

Soon, footsteps could be heard in the courtyard, followed by a hoarse male voice.

“Who is it?”

“I’m looking for Ah Ping,” Huo Chen said calmly.

The door opened, and a short man who looked like a winter melon appeared in front of Chi Jiao and the rest.

His round eyes quickly sized up the few people standing at the door before urging. “Come in quickly.”

After Chi Jiao and the others entered the courtyard, Ah Ping stuck his head out of the door to see if anyone had been following them. He then quickly closed the door.

“I’ve been waiting for you guys for a long time. You’re finally here.” Ah Ping smiled at Huo Chen. “You didn’t meet anyone after you entered the village, right?”

Hearing Ah Ping’s question, Beitang Lie instinctively wanted to ask about the suspicious figure they saw just now, but Huo Chen beat him to it.

“No.”

Ah Ping heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I’ve prepared some food. Have some before you rest.”

Huo Chen nodded.

They all followed Ah Ping to the main room.

After entering the hall, Ah Ping took out a few small stools and a small square table.

He arranged the furniture before saying, “Wait a moment, I’ll bring the food over.”

With that, Ah Ping walked out of the hall again.

The main hall was very spacious but did not have much furniture. Coupled with the fact that the floor was cemented, it looked very spacious, but also a little cold.

“Huo Chen, how did you get to know this local guide?” asked Beitang Lie as he sat on a small stool.
