When Zhu Yingqiong said the word ghost, all of our expressions changed. We looked at each other and felt that it was inconceivable.

No one has ever seen a ghost like this, but everyone has this feeling of fear in their hearts, especially in the Wild Mountain. The stories of ghosts and barbarians have been circulating everywhere, and we have already verified the barbarians, so it is very likely that the Emperor Jianwen used Ancient Warship s to bring the beastmen.

It can't be?

I really couldn't imagine that the word "ghost" would actually come out of Zhu Yingqiong's mouth. Although I haven't gotten to the point where I completely understand her, I basically understand her a lot.

Zhu Yingqiong was a British Chinese, she grew up in England, and the idealism she accepted was English, how could it have anything to do with ghosts?

But when I thought about it, I suddenly discovered another interesting key point. There were many different cultures, languages, and religions in the world, and they were all very difficult to get along with. However, ghosts were mentioned by every country in the world, but the West only called them souls.

Is there really a ghost in this world?

I shook my head to dispel the chaotic thoughts in my mind. Zhu Yingqiong saw that we were all looking at her with suspicion, so she also frowned: "I know that such an explanation is hard to believe, but other than this explanation, I can't think of anything that could cause so many people to die together."

Hai Yang immediately agreed, "I think what big sis said is reasonable. There are many things in this world that I couldn't explain clearly to begin with. Back then, when I was digging gold in Xinjiang with my little friend, I encountered even more strange things than now. Even if we don't believe in ghosts, we still have to be vigilant!"

The monk said arrogantly as he pulled the bolt of the gun, "Even a human can't be afraid of ghosts. If there really is something wrong, I will be the first one to shoot it and let it die again."

The last one of the three lackeys that Fourth Uncle brought out was surnamed Zhang, he had the least guts. Upon hearing our words, he was already trembling in fear, and said to Fourth Uncle: "Fourth Master, I think we should quickly leave, it's not good to stay here any longer!"

Fourth Uncle thought for a moment before nodding his head: "Tidy up all the corpses' backpacks. Take everything that is useful with you and leave this place immediately."

But I saw that Zhu Yingqiong's expression was a little ugly, probably because she knew all the dead people, but she said the truth now that Fourth Uncle gave her face and allowed her to join, so she didn't say much, she could only watch as the monk and the servant started to rummage through for equipment. They were completely speechless.

I lit up a cigarette and walked to Fourth Uncle's side. I looked at Zhu Yingqiong and whispered: "Fourth Uncle, you come with me to find out more, why do we need to bring Zhu Yingqiong along? She is one of Charles's people, aren't you afraid that she will become one of us … "

I didn't say the last eight words, but Fourth Uncle understood and smiled at me: "Little brat, the day you truly know how to use people, you will understand my feelings. Zhu Yingqiong has a map on him, and it's a map of the White Kingdom and underground tunnels, Charles gave it to her, and when we find the entrance to the underground, we will use it!"

Hai Yang listened from the side and said, "Damn, I should have said that earlier. I could have gotten the map on Fake Foreigner from the start."

Fourth Uncle shook his head: "It's useless to get it. Do you know Japanese?"

Fourth Uncle sighed and said, "That map was left behind by the Sakyamuni Army back then. I don't know where Charles got that map either, but Zhu Yingqiong told me that back then, when the Sakyamuni Army entered the ground, he spent a lot of time and effort to rebuild the bottom of the White Kingdom. Without that map, it would be easy for us to suffer losses under the ground, so we need her now!"

When I heard this, I immediately understood, Fourth Uncle is famous for being a Cyan Faced Ghost, shady people turning into enemies with no mercy are commonplace, it is not even possible for others to hide from him, how could Zhu Yingqiong, a woman, dare to advance with Fourth Uncle, she actually has a trump card in her hands!

Aside from food, most of the things we held were weapons and ammunition. After all, we had enough food to last us for a long time, but the Fourth Uncle was in a hurry, so we didn't prepare any weapons. This might have something to do with the border.

After packing up, we didn't plan to stay any longer, because it was getting dark and we had to find a safe place to rest, because at night, who knew what else would happen?

But just as we turned our heads to leave, I suddenly realized that everything in the forest in front of us had suddenly become extremely blurry and indistinct. It was as if a highly myopic person had suddenly lost his glasses.

I was stunned and rubbed my eyes. When I realised that I was still the same as before, I immediately panicked. Could it be that there was something wrong with my eyes?

Hurriedly turning around, I saw everyone wiping their eyes at the same time. Their gazes were a little dull as they looked straight ahead. Only then did I know that everyone was in the same situation as me.

"Damn, that's not right. There seems to be fog in front!"

Hai Yang cried out in alarm and rubbed her eyes once more. I hastily looked again and discovered that the scene in front of us had become even more blurry. A milky white fog suddenly permeated the forest and silently surrounded us.

The fog was just like a thick layer of fog, visible to the naked eye, enveloping us from all directions. The closer they got to us, the worse our vision became, and within the fog, there was an indescribable tempting aura mixed in. It gave off the feeling that our heads suddenly felt a little dizzy, and everything in front of us also started becoming illusionary.

The monk shouted in alarm, "The fog is starting to rise! Everyone, don't move around recklessly. Let's move forward hand in hand. If the fog is too big, it will easily dissipate!"

It's hard for me to imagine how it would feel to be separated by myself in the dense forest with Wild Mountain that was almost dark. I felt my scalp go numb just thinking about it, so I hurriedly grabbed Hai Shui's hand, and with my other hand, I pulled Zhu Yingqiong. The monk grabbed Fourth Uncle, and the Fourth Uncle pulled his shop assistant.

We walked very slowly. After only walking for five or six minutes, the thick milky white fog completely surrounded us, and by then our visibility was less than two meters away. I couldn't even see the face of the shop assistant at the side, and from time to time we would fall down or crash into a big tree.

After walking for a few more minutes, we were completely unable to see anything clearly, as if we had been blind. We could only feel that our eyes were filled with confusion, and the mist in the clouds seemed to be like that of a fairyland. I never thought that the fog in the Wild Mountain would be this strong, it was even scarier than the fog in the ocean that we met when we first stepped into the Wild Mountain.

In this environment, if we were to be ambushed by beastmen or beasts, it would be hard for us to defend!

Hai Yang took out a powerful light flashlight. Its penetrating power was very strong, but when the light ray shot out, I was surprised to find that the light was swallowed by the fog the moment it was shot out.

Fourth Uncle shouted calmly: "Don't mess around, pull your hands tight. Monk, be alert of your surroundings!"

Just as Fourth Uncle finished speaking, a crashing sound suddenly came from the side. I hastily turned my head but could not see anything. I only heard Fourth Uncle shout, "Little Zhang, Little Zhang, what's wrong?"

was anxiously shouting at him, but Xiao Zhang could not say a single word. He only grabbed onto Fourth Uncle's hand tightly, and in less than two minutes, the fellow's legs had kicked, and his eyes were rolled back into his head and he was no longer able to move. was shouting right now, but he could not say a single word.

The monk took a deep breath and said, "Four... Fourth Master, Xiao Zhang seems to be dead! "

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. Why did he suddenly die just like that?

We started to panic, and went to surround the shop assistant's corpse, but the fog was too thick, and we couldn't see anything clearly. Just as we wanted to ask Fourth Uncle if anything had happened, we suddenly felt that our feet were unsteady, our heads buzzing non-stop, and dizzily fell to the ground.

Zhu Yingqiong anxiously grabbed onto me and asked: "Chen San, what's wrong?"

I tightly grabbed onto her collar and felt that her consciousness was gradually weakening. I couldn't even hear her voice clearly, it felt like she was about to faint. In this kind of environment, not only would being unconscious be a burden, it would also be a problem whether she would wake up or not.

I wanted to wake up, but my mind was getting more and more dizzy. I could vaguely feel my whole body trembling, the situation was the same as the shop assistant, I understood in an instant, using all my strength to bite onto my tongue, the pain immediately stimulated my brain, I instantly cleared my mind, spitting out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "There's poison in the fog!"

When I shouted, everyone was shocked, they all covered their mouths and noses, only to hear the voice of the Fourth Uncle saying: "I know, this is not fog, it's miasma in the forest, it's poisonous, everyone quickly cover your mouths!"

When I heard about the miasma, my face turned even paler. The so-called miasma is a poisonous gas produced by the decay of plants and animals in the primeval forest, and the main reason for this was that the corpses of plants and animals were not being treated by anyone, and because the rain was rich and the temperature was too high, it became a favourable condition for the miasma. It is very common in the forest in the south, but I have never seen someone who could cover the sky like the Wild Mountain!

The confusion in front of my eyes had started to become clear, and I saw everyone standing in a disorderly fashion, covering their mouths and noses. Although the Monk's physique was good, his face had already become deathly pale, and Hai Yang's eyes were filled with red threads. He was unable to even stand steadily, while Fourth Uncle sat on the ground, while Zhu Yingqiong fainted on the spot.

I finally understood how those corpses died. Damn it, it wasn't ghosts, much less the beastmen's attacks, but the miasma. Only the boundless miasma was able to take the lives of so many people in such a short period of time.

I'm starting to regret that I didn't buy a gas mask when I told my sister to buy equipment. Later on, we also saw a large number of old gas masks in Sakyamuni Army's camp, but we didn't bring any with us. After all, no one thought that the forest would have such a powerful miasma!

Without much time to think, I tore off a piece of my clothes, soaked them in mineral water and quickly covered Zhu Yingqiong's nose and mouth. Then, I shouted at the monk: "Monk, quickly support my Fourth Uncle, find a place without miasma!"

I don't know if the monk heard it, but I saw him pick up the Fourth Uncle and stumble his way forward, the ocean also helped up the fellow on the ground. Although the monk said that he was dead, the situation now is too chaotic, no one can guarantee if he was unconscious or dead.

I helped Zhu Yingqiong up at the same time. Her condition was much better, because I had timely covered her nose and mouth, and now that she had regained much of her consciousness, she kept talking to me, but I could not make out what she was saying, because she spoke in English.

The six of us held onto our equipment and walked continuously in the miasma of the dense forest, walking very slowly, especially Zhu Yingqiong, who would occasionally wake up from her coma. Since she was a woman, and the friction of her limbs could easily touch any sensitive parts of a woman, I struggled to support her and tried my best not to touch her body, not wanting her to think that I was a villain who would take advantage of others.

But because of this, we who were already very slow started to slow down. At first, I could still barely see the sea and the monk's figures in front of me, but then gradually, I couldn't see them clearly anymore, I started to get anxious, I could only speed up, but covering my mouth and nose was only a temporary method. After a while, I felt more and more dizzy, in order to stay awake, I could only constantly insert the tip of my dagger into my thigh.

Using this method, I supported Zhu Yingqiong and walked for around half an hour. It was completely because of my willpower that I did not fall down, not even having the strength to shout for a monk or a sea.

At this time, Zhu Yingqiong woke up drowsily once again. She struggled to look in front of her, and then said to me in a very soft voice, "House! House! "

I was stunned. "Mouse?" What rat? Where are the rats? "

I wanted to ask more, but Zhu Yingqiong fainted again. I was so anxious that I walked her around for a few steps, when my brain suddenly quivered. Damn, what she said was not a mouse, but a house.

Without any culture, he is that terrifying. I felt a bit embarrassed and anxiously looked towards the direction that Zhu Yingqiong was looking at just now. Sure enough, I could see a building faintly appearing in the miasma.

Could it be the Walled City of the ruins from back then?

I was extremely excited and my spirits were raised a little. I guessed that Hai Yang and the monk must have already went in, so I anxiously supported Zhu Yingqiong and hurried over.

When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't a human house, but a limestone temple that looked very much like a Thai or Burmese temple, but I didn't have time to think about it. I creaked open the old, rotting wooden door and saw that it was dark inside, but fortunately the fog didn't enter.

I carried Zhu Yingqiong in quickly, and then closed the wooden door, completely blocking the mist outside. When I looked inside the temple more carefully, I realised it was completely empty, the monk and the ocean were not inside!

I was suddenly shocked in my heart. Damn, did we get separated?
