BXBX NOVEL Chapter 412 - Horror In The Mountains
“What’s even weirder is that the mountain road seems to have become a little off when the sun sets.
“No matter which direction I go, I’ll return to my original place in less than 15 minutes.”
The young men present huddled together, and their expressions were unnatural.
The middle-aged man continued, “At that moment, I saw a figure suddenly appear in front of me!
“She lowered her head, and her hair was a mess, covering her face. Her clothes were tattered, and there was blood everywhere!
“I called her, but she didn’t answer. I threw something at her, but she didn’t react.
“And so, I walked toward her step by step. Just as I was in front of her, she suddenly looked up… ”
“Gulp!”
Upon hearing this, many people couldn’t help but swallow and leaned even closer.
“What happened next?” One of the young men asked in a trembling voice.
“Next? Hehe…”
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed eerily as he stared at the crowd. The corners of his mouth curled up, and his gaze was horrifying.
“It was a ghost!”
Before he could continue, the group of young men screamed in fear. Like a young girl who had encountered a pervert, they fled the scene in a panic.
“Hahahaha! A bunch of cowards!” Seeing the crowd fleeing, the middle-aged man could not help but burst into laughter.
Only the young man who called him uncle didn’t run away. Instead, he looked at his second uncle joking with the younger generation with disdain.
“Uncle, it’s a pity that you’re not a storyteller,” The young man shook his head and said.
“You dare to criticize me, kid?”
“I wouldn’t dare. But uncle, you told me that when you touched the dirty thing, you were saved by a ghost baby? Did you also make up that story?”
The young man looked at the middle-aged man with a doubtful expression.
“Brat, do I look like the kind of person who would lie?” The middle-aged man slapped him on the back of his head, and his face immediately became stern.
“What happened then will only be more terrifying than what I said! If it wasn’t for that baby ghost, I’m afraid the village would be joining my funeral by now!”
These words were serious, but when they came out of the middle-aged man’s mouth, it inexplicably made the young man laugh.
“Alright, uncle, I won’t believe you this time.”
…
The villagers of Tata Village had experienced several attacks by evil spirits, so most villagers were afraid of those things.
Usually, even if they encountered strange things, they didn’t dare to talk about it openly like the middle-aged man.
Because of the young men spreading rumors, the villagers soon knew that the middle-aged man had run into a ghost in the mountain.
Some people were terrified, while others stayed home for several days, burning incense and praying to Buddha, not daring to go out.
However, some more courageous young men organized themselves and went to the mountains together to meet the legendary female ghost.
Outside Tata Village, Lin Qiye sat on a tree branch and enjoyed the tributes he had stolen from the local God’s temple.
“What a bunch of idiots. The cannon fodders in horror movies were probably made up of idiots like them.”
Humans were like this sometimes. Even though they knew there might be a danger, they couldn’t suppress their damn curiosity.
Of course, some people might deliberately put themselves in danger to prove that they were bold enough.
However, that type of person was often the most cowardly when they were in real danger.
“Forget it. I still need to save people to gather faith. Since I’m on this path, I can’t ignore them.
Lin Qiye casually threw the apple that had lost its essence away. In a flash, he appeared a few hundred meters away.
After a few months of cultivation, Lin Qiye still hadn’t found a way to recover his physical body.
However, his strength was already comparable to a Golden Core Realm cultivator. He could suppress some wandering ghosts with a move of his finger.
He was at the Saint King Mountain behind Tata village. Almost all the firewood used by the residents came from this mountain.
“Brother Wang, are we really going into the mountain?”
At the foot of the mountain, a group of young men stood in front of a deep tree-lined path.
Looking at the seemingly different mountain path, some young men couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive.
“Hmph! I’ve been in and out of this mountain hundreds of times. How could there be a female ghost?
“If you’re too timid to go, then go back!”
The young man called Brother Wang looked at the guy who asked the question with disdain.
Upon hearing this, the questioner immediately shut up.
They had come here to prove their courage. If they turned back now, wouldn’t they be the laughingstock of the village for the rest of their lives?
There were people on the team who wanted to quit, but when they saw what had happened to the questioner, they immediately suppressed the fear in their hearts.
“Brother Wang is right. There are no female ghosts, and even if there are, so what? I’m still worried about not getting a wife!”
“You’re awesome!”
“Hahahaha!”
Because of the pretentious jokes, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Under Brother Wang’s lead, more than a dozen young men gathered their courage and headed into the mountain.
At the same time, in Tata village…
