For so reason, Chang’an suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken. He turned to Zhao’er and said, "Zhao’er, if anything happens later, make sure to protect Little Yun and Xi Yu."
"Mmm."
Getting an acknowledgnt from Zhao’er, Chang’an still felt a bit uneasy and turned to ask Uncle Chen, who was not far ahead, "Uncle Chen, how much longer do we have to go?"
"We should be almost there, another half hour at most."
Sun Lin was also worried and asked, "It’s so dark, are you sure you know the way?"
"No problem. We’ve been through this place three tis already, and we’ve made marks along the way. We’re standing right at the last mark now."
"Wah... Wah..."
It’s getting closer!
The baby’s crying suddenly sounded closer, as if it were ringing right in one’s ears!
Chang’an’s eyebrows shot up, and he ordered everyone, "Everyone, take out your flashlights, phones, anything, and light up a twenty-ter radius around us!"
Perhaps due to the fear of the unknown, at Chang’an’s command, everyone around him turned on their flashlights and phones, including Qin Han.
"Wah... Wah..."
The crying was even closer now, giving the impression it was right beside one’s ear!
"What, what is that!?"
An exclamation suddenly burst out, and at the sa ti, the person raised the flashlight in his hand, shining it towards the branch of a tree straight ahead.
A human head, or to be more precise, a baby’s head, a baby head as big as a train locomotive!!
"Hehe."
The baby head suddenly grinned, smiling like a cute infant. However, the laughter in everyone’s ears sounded like a life-claiming demon’s lody from Hell.
What’s more, what was truly horrifying was that the baby’s wide-open mouth revealed teeth that were individual human heads!
The human heads, of varying appearances and of both genders, were also grinning!
"Ghosts!!"
Ju Hua scread sharply, then fell to the ground in terror.
Even Chang’an felt a chill run down his spine at such a sight.
"What are you waiting for, run!"
Qin Han was the first to roar, then he took the lead and charged forward. As he ran, he pushed Yang Runzhang aside.
Glancing to the side, Chang’an noticed a deep pit several ters behind Yang Runzhang. He lunged forward, grabbed Yang’s hand, and pulled him back to safety.
Then he suddenly turned and yelled at Sun Lin and the others, "Don’t move! It’s just a projection, what are you afraid of!"
With that, he kicked up a stone from the ground and, with a swift catch of his right hand, he hurled it toward a clump of trees fifty ters away!
"Ping!"
The stone struck the bushes, imdiately followed by a crisp sound, and then a man’s cry, "My, my precious!"
When the terrifying baby head vanished, everyone stopped their chaotic footsteps and shone their lights towards the source of the noise, the bushes.
"My eighty thousand yuan worth of holographic projection equipnt, you owe !"
At that mont, two young n erged from the bushes, one furious and the other with a smirk of prankish delight on his face.
"Who are you people? Why are you doing this?" Seeing the two approach, Sun Lin shouted angrily.
"Hehehe, didn’t scare you, did we?" The laughing young man showed no hint of remorse, instead appearing sowhat smug.
"Damn!"
Yang Runzhang charged forward violently and delivered a fierce kick to the laughing youth!
The laughing youth hadn’t expected Yang Runzhang’s aggressive assault and was imdiately knocked to the ground. Yang Runzhang didn’t stop there; he pounced on him, straddled his body, and slapped his face repeatedly, more than a dozen tis!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Yang Runzhang was truly frightened this ti, and he had almost fallen backward in the chaos if it hadn’t been for your tily intervention by grabbing him, otherwise he and Ke Min might well have ended up dead here!
The young man who was holding the equipnt, initially intending to seek redress, was also frightened by Yang Runzhang’s frenzy, and his complexion changed several tis.
Seeing this, Sun Lin couldn’t help but sigh and went forward to grab Yang Runzhang’s hand, "Let him go, keep hitting him and he might lose his life."
"Ptooey!"
Yang Runzhang stood up angrily and spat a thick wad of phlegm onto the face of the young man, whose face was already swollen with bruises.
Sun Lin’s face darkened with a dignified anger; as a doctoral advisor, he was a leading figure in the field, and when he put on a serious face, he had quite an intimidating presence.
"I am Sun Lin from Eastern Sea University. Are you people from Cao Shan?"
The youth with the projection equipnt hurriedly helped his companion stand up, bowing slightly, "Professor Sun, we... we are disciples of Professor Cao."
Sun Lin was also furious. He did not expect students of Cao Shan to do such outrageous things and imdiately demanded angrily, "Where is the person from Cao Shan?"
The two exchanged a glance, and the beaten one, touching his head, said, "Professor Cao and the others are in the camp."
"Hmph! Is this how you welco your guests!?" Sun Lin’s anger grew as he spoke, "We have traveled all the way to Chang’an, after a long and exhausting journey, and now the sky has darkened like this, we haven’t even had dinner, nor a sip of water, yet out of the blue we’re threatened by you two jerks!"
"Yun, soone’s coming."
As soon as Zhao’er spoke, Sun Lin imdiately stopped his ranting.
Before long, light flickered a hundred ters ahead and soon after, a man’s voice was heard calling out, "Old Sun, is that you?"
Sun Lin, still fuming, couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Soon, a few people arrived from the front, both n and won. The leader was a middle-aged man with half silver-white hair, surprisingly handso — quite the silver fox.
"Old Sun, I’ve been looking forward to your arrival," Cao Shan said as he ca forward, about to shake hands and hug Sun Lin, who in turn coldly huffed, "Humph, I’m not in the mood for that right now!"
"What... what’s happened?"
Cao Shan looked completely puzzled.
Afterwards, your colleagues explained to Cao Shan what had just happened, and Cao Shan then flew into a rage, "Nonsense! Utter nonsense! Have you two read books for over a decade for nothing! Scaring people in these deep woods without considering their ability to cope ntally, without thinking of the consequences!?"
Then, Cao Shan proceeded with all kinds of apologies to Sun Lin.
Just as Sun Lin was about to calm down, strange sounds once again ca from the woods.
At first listen, they resembled children singing nursery rhys, but no matter how carefully one tried to listen, the sounds remained unclear. The voices shifted, now distant, now near, now clear, now muddled.
"What now, you have more accomplices?"
Sun Lin laughed out loud in anger.
The two hurriedly shook their heads, and just as they were about to speak, you suddenly said, "Let’s go, we can’t stay here any longer."
