I opened the box and found that there were several roasted sweet potatoes. Although they were already cold, they still looked very attractive to me.

As I eagerly peeled the sweet potato and stuffed it into my mouth, I realized that it was probably the little girl who had secretly stuffed it in for me. No wonder I happened to see her sneaking around my backpack the next day when I was about to grab my bag. What a good girl.

I choked on my laughter. I heard the sound of footsteps right after I opened the bottle and took a sip of water. I hurriedly packed up my things and hid in the lush forest nearby.

A moment later, I saw two men in hiking gear, one dark and skinny, the other short and fat and white, carrying a large travel bag. The two of them were sweating profusely, and now that they walked over, they unexpectedly sat down to rest at the same place that I had just made. The black skinned man accidentally saw the sweet potato peel that I had just eaten.

"What's going on? Could it be that someone was just here? "

The slightly fat man also took the sweet potato peel, touched it and smelled it, "It's completely cold now, and the taste is very light, I think someone used to roast sweet potatoes here before, and besides, if it's just eaten, there's not even a little bit of ash around here."

The dark and skinny man nodded in agreement. "That's true. This is the longest remote road to the Changbai Mountains. Who would travel to such a gloomy and remote place?"

I can't help but complain in my heart when I hear this. If no one leaves, you will all leave.

"Big brother, why do we have to leave so late at night? Leaving so late at night is also terrifying, and we even wasted time. What if someone takes the immortal herbs from Changbai Mountain first!?"

the dark, thin man said to the slightly plump man. The latter slapped the former's head, "How can you be so stupid? How could that treasure be taken away so easily? You must know that I heard that there is a ghost guarding that Immortal Grass. It is said that as long as the ghost dies, a phenomenon will occur. That's why there are still plenty of chances. "

Hearing this, I could tell that something was wrong. They were obviously talking about dried up bones and fresh flowers! I thought that this was some rare treasure, but it turned out to be of the Jianghu legend type. Wouldn't this mean that the competition would be great? It was even harder than I imagined.

As I was lost in my own thoughts, I heard the slightly plump man shout, "Who's there, come out!"

My mind jolted. Could it be that I was discovered? But how did I get discovered before I could even move? I calmed myself down and didn't move as I heard him shout again.

I silently pretended to die for ten seconds. They were still quietly looking around, holding their breaths. When I stood up to leave, I was about to resign myself to my fate.

The wind was so strong that the branches and trees all around could not help but shake, even people could not stand steadily under the wind. I hurriedly squatted down a little tighter, and after observing for a while, I realized that this forest was very strange, it seemed like there was some kind of array formation, and it also contained a lot of Yin Qi. If there really was such a array formation, then a lot of people must have died at the time when it was set up.

Because they were caught here for no reason, their grievances will be especially heavy. Adding the restrictions of the formation, the vengeful ghosts cannot be reincarnated into the formation and can only be used as a weapon to attack. This way, the longer the period of time it takes, the heavier the grievances will become.

However, if time passes, this formation will become increasingly difficult to break. I cannot estimate how long this formation will last, nor can I estimate whether I can handle it or not.

I stayed on the sidelines, thinking that I might as well take a look at what was going on in case I was wrong.

Seeing that there was no one coming out, the two of them, one fat and the other thin, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and their expressions became unsightly, especially that black skinny man whose voice trembled in fear and said, "Big brother, didn't you say that there would only be ghosts when we reach the mountain? Why is there something wrong in the forest that is so far away? Bro, you're not messing with me, right?"

The slightly plump man swallowed his saliva, "Don't scare yourself. It might just be because of the bad weather. Just now, I thought that there must have been some noise due to the strong wind."

But …" But I'm still afraid... I... ! " "Before the dark, thin man could finish his words, he was already screaming in my direction. I was a bit dumbfounded. What was going on with me?

"What's wrong with you? What are you yelling for?"

"There's a dark shadow there. Something there."

I was about to go out on my own again when I heard their sighs of relief.

I looked suspiciously at my surroundings and saw that the deer that was leading the way had suddenly appeared beside me. With a light movement, it ran deeper into the forest.

The slightly plump man kept hating the other person for teaching them a lesson. I was a little speechless when I saw that, even though I said that there would be a ghost guarding the flower, I really didn't know who gave them the courage and confidence to come to this kind of place.

Just then the real grudge came out, and behind them I saw out of thin air a pale man with dark circles under his eyes and deep, dry sockets floating toward them.

At the same time, that resentful ghost was preparing to strangle them at any moment. If they really were that defenseless, then today, the two of them would really die together.

Seeing that the resentful ghost was getting closer and closer, but the pig head still didn't know it, so I could only step forward.

"You two, get down!" Fortunately, the two of them instinctively squatted down.

I took the opportunity to throw the peach wood sword together with the charms. The sword brought along the charms as it stabbed into the heart of the resentful ghost. The resentful ghost cried out miserably before disappearing into thin air.

I let out a sigh of relief and went over to pick up the peach wood sword. Seeing that the two of them were still squatting there without moving, I walked over to them and kicked them. Only then did they come back to their senses. The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes started drifting back and forth. It was probably due to them being unable to properly digest what had just happened.

"Can the two of you stand up first? Otherwise, it's tiring to talk with your head down. "

I felt like a teacher punishing a student. Furthermore, the fact that I was respected seemed to be something that only happened after I started to capture ghosts. It seems that changing my profession was indeed the right decision, I didn't have to look at the expressions of others anymore.

"What are you all so nervous about? I'm a human, it's not like I can be eaten by ghosts." I felt that if these two people stayed, it would be a huge burden to me.

The fat man was the first to respond, "Hello mage, we are brothers. My name is Da Peng, he is Er Peng. We really have to thank you for saving our lives today. May we know your respected name, mage?"

"My name is Zhong Xin."

The Great Peng seemed to have completely recovered from the shock and smiled at me, "Then, Master Zhong Xin, what are you here for?"

I also smiled, "You seem pretty smart. You should have guessed that my goal here is the same as yours."

The two brothers looked at each other. Erpeng's expression changed from puzzlement to shock to deep thought.

I also felt that it was funny in my heart. The great roc stepped forward and said, "Master Zhong Xin, we have discussed this before, we will not fight with you, because no matter how you look at it, you are much stronger than us. We are willing to help you from the side, but Master Zhong Xin, can you give me some of it when you get the immortal grass? We really need it very much. "

Speaking of which, from the very beginning, I was also extremely confused as to why someone like them would have the courage to come here. After I asked the question, the great roc couldn't help but smile bitterly, while Erpeng's expression was rather unnatural.

"Master Zhong Xin, you might not know this, but we have four brothers in our family. Other than the two of us, we have three and four brothers. One is four years old, and the other is only one year old."

In my heart, I was shocked by these names as well as the age difference between them. The two brothers in front of me were at least 20 years old.

The Da Peng seemed to have seen through my thoughts and explained, "The Da Peng and I are orphans, we unintentionally picked up the two younger brothers, and we can't bear to throw them into the orphanage and raise them ourselves. But, how difficult it is to raise a child, we really have to raise them before we know, we will run out of money very soon, so this time I can't hear that this immortal grass can sell for a lot of money, so we came here."

I nodded after hearing her words. I had a good impression of this kind of people who valued friendship.

"So, Big Brother Zhong Xin, are you willing to let us follow you?"

The title would be changed after a while. I bitterly smiled in my heart. I had to break through this formation before I could bring you all along.

"If you want to follow me, that's fine too, but you should first solve the problem in front of you."

Erpeng scratched his head and asked, "What's the problem?"

I smiled. "I never said we'd be safe after getting rid of that grudge."

Er Peng reacted with a cry and hid behind Da Peng. However, because he was one head and two people taller than Da Peng, his posture was extremely strange.

"That mage, you mean …" Is there still a ghost?! "

When Da Peng saw this, he slightly turned his body and coughed. "Actually, Erpeng normally doesn't act this way. He's just scared of ghosts. Everything else is fine."

I nodded. "Well, I understand."

"Then, what do you mean by what you said just now, Big Brother Zhong?" "Why do you say we're not safe?"

I told him where we were. The roc looked at me in surprise and then calmed down and thought, but I saw that his hands were trembling even though he tried to restrain himself.
