At first, Dong Xiaoxiao was curious as to why he was feeling guilty, but when she thought of the introduction he had mentioned just now …
She was the primer!
However, this wasn't something unacceptable. Dong Xiaoxiao had decided to solve the problem in the mountain. Even if something happened to her, it wouldn't be unacceptable if the problem in the mountain was solved.
"Then what should we do next?"
Dong Xiaoxiao frowned, not bothered by the question.
Although the compass was useless, she could keenly feel that there were no longer any dangerous auras in the surroundings. That thing should have already left for a long distance.
Ling An put the whip back around her waist and sighed. "There's no other way. We can only wait. Maybe it will come again tonight or not."
Dong Xiaoxiao patted her chest and smiled at the two. "Then let's wait a little longer. I'll have to trouble you to come with me. I'll treat you guys to a meal when we get back."
The crane didn't say a word. Ling An's face was stern. Under her gaze, he looked at the crane before finally nodding his head.
The ghost just retreated and probably wouldn't return for a while. The few of them packed up their things and returned to the tent. However, they didn't rest and were even more vigilant.
If that ghost came while they were sleeping, they would be completely annihilated.
As a result, they all sat there silently, holding their phones and pressing the buttons. Some of them were playing games, some were reading novels, and they didn't say anything.
However, the few of them did not stay awake until the latter half of the night. The two were asleep while one stood guard, taking turns to rest. Just like that, they continued to stay awake until daybreak.
That ghost had never come, so they couldn't sleep. However, the few of them didn't relax their vigilance. Although they seemed to be relaxing, they were all observing their surroundings.
It was already daybreak, but today was a cloudy day. Even though the sun should have already risen, it was covered by a thick layer of clouds, making it difficult to see clearly. In front of them was a misty patch of fog.
The three of them waited until noon before deciding to return to the city. This was because the ghost had already confirmed that it would not come out again.
The three of them relaxed a little. They walked down the mountain while taking the main road, but they were also very careful.
It was easy to climb up the mountain, but hard to climb down. Although the three of them didn't have bad physical qualities, they still had to be careful.
However … The way down the mountain seemed a bit long. They had been walking for an hour, but they still hadn't seen the foot of the mountain!
Dong Xiaoxiao had come up the mountain many times, so she soon realized that something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, they should already be able to see the village at the foot of the mountain, but now … A fog.
Even if it was because of the weather, it shouldn't be like this, so … There must be a ghost!
He didn't expect that after being on alert for an entire night, they didn't see this ghost, and now that they were prepared to go down the mountain, it managed to block their way and not let them go.
Right now, their spirit and body were a little tired. Their fighting capabilities had been reduced by at least 20-30%. This ghost was just too cunning!
"Be on high alert!"
On the surface, as the person with the highest combat power in this place, as a man, he was still carefully protecting the two women behind him. Right now, he was standing on the spot, not moving as he inspected his surroundings.
The ghost must be nearby, and it just so happened to use today's gloomy weather. It was not to be underestimated!
Dong Xiaoxiao and Ling An also took out their weapons. Ling An took out his whip while Dong Xiaoxiao took out her apparatus.
Her apparatus could disrupt the magnetic field, and in the end, this ghost's method was mainly to utilize the magnetic field between the heaven and earth, while ghosts were in reality an orderly magnetic field. As long as she held the apparatus, she would not let the ghost near her body.
However, the ghost was very cunning. Although it had trapped them, it didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Dong Xiaoxiao and the other two people waited for two hours, but it still didn't appear.
After he came back, he looked very relaxed. He took out the bread from his backpack and began to eat, "It's not nearby, it's still daytime, although the weather is so gloomy, but a ghost, they are afraid of the sun, it should only appear at night. Let's rest for a while and recharge our energy."
Dong Xiaoxiao and Ling An nodded helplessly. They put up the tent and ate something. Then, they went in to rest.
The three of them didn't sleep well for the entire night. Since they were sure that the ghost wouldn't come during the day, they might as well make the best use of their time and rest.
Just like this, the sun gradually set from the top of his head to the west, and the sky gradually darkened …
The three of them sat outside the tent at eight o'clock in the evening, quietly feeling the heavy and strange atmosphere around them as they prepared their things.
Today, even after an entire day, the fog did not disperse. During the night, the surroundings became even more hazy, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Fortunately, they all had some tricks up their sleeves. Otherwise, if they carried nothing on the mountain in this weather, they would still be scared of others.
The ghost seemed to be very patient and continued to remain dormant. The three of them could feel the ghost constantly changing its position around them as if it was observing them. They were all secretly nervous.
"It should be waiting for midnight. That is when it will be at its strongest, but if we let it hide like this, by then, we might not be able to deal with it at its peak."
Dong Xiaoxiao said with concern, "Then what should we do?"
Ling An said seriously, "We need to find it."
How could he find it? That was a problem.
However, Dong Xiaoxiao was very familiar with this mountain. The three of them moved together and circled around it. She had a good idea and soon found the best place for a few ghosts to hide.
At this moment, the ghost seemed to be very far away from them, but it still allowed them to walk around freely, as if it was determined that they wouldn't be able to escape from its grasp. Thus, it gave the three of them a chance …
The three of them pretended to be trapped as they walked around the area and secretly set up a formation at the place where the ghosts Dong Xiaoxiao had found might be hiding.
As long as the ghost did not sense that it had entered the formation they had set up, it would not be easy to escape. They could also save a lot of energy and it would be much easier to subdue it.
All of this depended on whether the ghost would fall for it or not …
After strolling around for a bit, the three people of Dong Xiaoxiao's group pretended to give up. They quietly sat in front of the tent and waited for the ghost to come back …
