After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up Chapter 32.3

"Where's the skeleton horse?" Zhao She asked.

Only then did Wu Huancheng recover.

He looked around and found that the skeleton horse had disappeared.

He hesitated for a moment then shook his head, "I don't know."

Under the disturbance of the strong wind and fire, Wu Huancheng had only seen glimpses of the situation.

However, in one of those moments, he had vaguely glimpsed the figure of the skeleton horse. It  was screaming and struggling violently, as if it were dominated by some extreme fear, and then it disappeared into the blizzard.

It looked like it was... running away in fear.

But how was that possible?

How could the undead feel pain and fear?

He must have seen it wrong or hallucinated.

"Wait, what about Shi An? He's not with you?" Chen Meng frowned.

Wu Huancheng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where Shi An had been just now.

However, the teenager who was supposed to be standing behind him had disappeared without a trace.

"I, I don't know."

Wang Li said decisively, "Find him first."

The surrounding snow banks were vast and dark, and nothing could be seen.

"Shi An!"

"Shi An!!"

The team split up around the scorched earth, anxiously calling out Shi An's name.

"What? Children? Can't find someone?" Suddenly, a rough voice sounded from above their heads.

Everyone was shocked and subconsciously pulled out their weapons before looking in the direction of the sound.

An unshaven middle-aged man was squatting on the rock wall, face lined with scars, wearing a full set of cold protection equipment. He seemed to have been looking down at them for some time.

He scoffed and jumped down.

His burly body fell nimbly on the snow.

Wang Li caught a glimpse of the tattoo on his chest and was shocked.

He was a mercenary.

This would be the group of people mentioned in the hotel earlier.

Unexpectedly, the other party left a whole day earlier than them, but they were in the same place now.

This road was the only way to enter the mountain. When thinking of the skeleton horse on the road, Wang Li had a vague guess in his heart.

They were probably also blocked by this undead monster and could not move forward.

"What are you doing here, little ones?" The man narrowed his glittering eyes and looked at the teenagers in front of him inquiringly. His eyes fell on Chen Meng, who had a beautiful face, and his eyes paused on her figure for two more seconds.

There was a very uncomfortable hunger in the other party's eyes, so Chen Meng frowned and glared back fiercely.

Wang Li calmed down.

He smiled slightly at the man in front of him, "We are just traveling through. I heard that this is a good place to practice magic, so we came here in a group."

"Is that so…"

The man looked at them, but they couldn’t tell whether he believed Wang Li's words.

The man laughed and looked back lightly, "It's very dangerous to rush around snowy areas in middle of the night."

"How about you guys come to our camp for a night's rest and start on the road tomorrow morning. ?"

Wang Li squinted his eyes, and answered without revealing anything, "Not yet, our companion has not been found yet. We are very worried about his safety. I am afraid that we will not be able to rest well in your camp."

"Hey," the man shook his head, still with that uncomfortable smile on his face, "then I will insist even more."

Seemingly not feeling the hostility from the other side, the man continued,

"Someone’s life is at stake, right? For the safety of your teammate, I think you'd better let us help, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures with the same mercenary marks on their clothes appeared behind the other surrounding rocks.

——The meaning of the threat was self-evident.

Chen Meng clenched her weapon tightly, gritted her teeth, and stared coldly at the mercenary in front of him.

Wang Li turned his head and shook his head at her almost imperceptibly.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was still smiling in front of him, and a polite smile appeared on his face, "If you insist, then it is better for me to be respectful and obey."

"I will also trouble you to leave your associates to help search for our teammate."

Since neither of them had shown their true thoughts yet, the mercenaries on the other side didn’t mind indulging their thoughts.

He told a few people to stay nearby and search for a young man named Shi An. The rest followed him and walked towards the mercenary camp with Wang Li and company.

Soon, the shadows of the canyon disappeared, leaving only a patch of snow.

The blizzard was still going strong, and the scorched rock formations were soon covered with a thin layer of snow, mixing with the melted water and turning into a gray-black mud.

Three minutes later.

In the distance came the crunch of snow as it was trampled on.

Footsteps approached, and the figure of a young man appeared.

He was slender, and his figure was engulfed by the blizzard instantly. A beautiful, peaceful face was hidden in thick fluff, and a pair of pink bunny earmuffs were on his ears.

However, the boy was holding a huge leg bone that was still moving.

That leg bone was simply giganormous, almost half the height of a human being, forming an absurd and stark contrast to the bearer.

A cluster of bright yellow flames was burning above the leg bone, radiating heat continuously.

"..."

Shi An looked around blankly, looking at the mess in front of him, and asked in great confusion:

"Where are the people?"
