Xun Tianhai finished speaking and forced a bitter smile, "I’m just lucky to be alive. If I say the Abbot is here, there’s hope for ."
Jiangli observed his wounds; they were all small cuts, as if made by sothing very thin and sharp.
As if... cut by leaves.
With this thought, Jiangli inquired, "Where’s ng Hongyao?"
Xun Tianhai was taken aback, his bitter smile froze, "I, I really don’t know..."
After he was captured, he was separated from ng Hongyao.
Being able to co out alive now is a stroke of luck for him.
As for ng Hongyao’s side...
Xun Tianhai’s heart sank suddenly, "I’m afraid Hongyao won’t be so lucky either..."
Jiangli looked somber, "She should be fine too. None of you are ordinary people. Facing these little tricks, you must have so ans to protect yourselves."
Xun Tianhai heard this, but wasn’t as optimistic.
He felt it wasn’t that simple.
Actually, nowadays, there are already very few strange occurrences, and they don’t see much on a regular basis. Ghosts and monsters find it even harder to cultivate than humans now.
If they really encountered so weird stuff, they wouldn’t have been highly cultivated, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to deal with.
But recently, for so unknown reason, more and more fierce ghosts are appearing, and it’s more than they can handle.
Moreover, since ng Hongyao cos from a Taoist Doctor background, she isn’t particularly outstanding in terms of combat strength.
Xun Tianhai really couldn’t be at ease.
Seeing him uneasy and struggling to get up, Jiangli imdiately saw through his thoughts and said, "There’s no use being anxious now. After you were captured, sothing must have happened to ng Hongyao as well. Even if nothing happened, she wouldn’t stay in one spot. With Dangshan being so vast, who knows where she is now? Even if you want to find her, it’s impossible. Better just stay put."
Xun Tianhai paused, then deflated, frowning, "Then, what should we do? Could sothing have happened to Hongyao’s side?"
Jiangli replied calmly, "It’s hard to say with such matters. I don’t have clairvoyance or mighty hearing."
Xun Tianhai said, "..."
Fu Shiyan spoke at this mont, "Let’s not ntion ng Hongyao for now. Director Xun, think carefully. When you were trapped, did you feel anything unusual?"
Xun Tianhai was taken aback, "Sothing unusual?"
Jiangli glanced at Fu Shiyan and made a sound in agreent, "Yes, try to recall. Suddenly being dragged underground to so tree roots can’t be a coincidence. Perhaps it’s one of the gathering points of the evil at Dangshan. If we can find the lair of the evil, maybe we’ll run into ng Hongyao and the others."
Xun Tianhai understood their aning and imdiately beca tense, "I rember, it was underground, with interwoven tree roots, like a spider web, wrapping around my neck, airtight. I couldn’t breathe..."
"What else?" Jiangli asked, "Any particular sounds, slls, or other movents?"
"Other movents..."
Xun Tianhai lowered his head in thought.
"I seem to have heard so dripping sounds, like water droplets falling from a height, with echoes..."
Jiangli: "Echoes?"
Xun Tianhai nodded, "Yes, echoes. But at that ti, my mind was focused on escaping, I didn’t listen carefully..."
In such chaos, who would pay attention to distinguish the surrounding sounds carefully?
He thought it was just ordinary ambient noise.
But now thinking back, sothing indeed seed off.
"If the roots are underground and the space is narrow, how could there be spacious echoes of dripping water?" Qing Yue mused, stroking his chin, "These details don’t match."
