Chapter 548: 548 (first update)
Generally speaking, echoes only occur in enclosed spaces; an open area like a small grove should not produce echoes, which struck Miao Xinran as odd and caused her face to pale slightly.
What frightened her even more was that Mo Qingyi did not respond to her!
"Qingyi, co out, we’re not playing anymore, I give up!" Miao Xinran shouted into the air once more.
But all that ca back from the air were her own echoes.
"Qingyi, please co out," Miao Xinran hurried forward, searching for Mo Qingyi’s figure as she went.
But in the quiet grove, there was no one to be found.
"Hey, everyone, co out, stop hiding, can’t we stop playing?"
"Everyone, co out!"
At this mont, Miao Xinran noticed a strange problem; no matter how she walked, she couldn’t exit the forest and seed to be going in circles!
The color was slowly draining from Miao Xinran’s face.
Her steps beca sowhat frantic.
The pitch-black grove seed to turn into a cage, trapping her within it.
What should she do? What could she do now?
Could this be the phenonon of ghost-hitting-the-wall?
In her panic, she could only pull out her phone, but it had fallen into a state with no signal, and the most terrifying thing was that she couldn’t even make ergency calls! It was then that Miao Xinran realized things had truly taken a serious turn!
For a mont, everything seed to spin around her!
"Qingyi, Li Yong, Wang Keke... where are you?"
In her despair, Miao Xinran could only cry out everyone’s nas.
At this mont, Miao Xinran was truly scared! If she had known this would happen, she would have never agreed to play such a terrifying ga, not even if it ant getting killed! Now she had roped herself in too! It felt like she really was trapped in another world!
On the other side, Mo Qingyi, Li Yong, and Wang Keke were also constantly searching for their friends’ figures.
The black cat that had been in Mo Qingyi’s arms had long since disappeared.
Now, they could only use the light from their phones to grope their way forward in the darkness, not knowing what they might encounter ahead.
"What do we do now? It seems like they’ve all disappeared! They couldn’t really have been taken by a ghost to another world, could they?" Wang Keke said in a panic.
The three of them had been turning in circles in the woods for over half an hour, but they hadn’t found a single person.
"Don’t panic," Li Yong said, feigning composure, "there are no ghosts in this world. They must be hiding on purpose to scare us." Even though he said this, his heart was still in a state of chaos; this place was just too eerie!
Mo Qingyi shone the flashlight around, shouting loudly, "Xinran! Co out! We’re not playing anymore!"
But there was no response.
The silence was so thorough that only their breathing could be heard.
"This place is too creepy; let’s go back first. They’re not children; if they can’t see us, they’ll definitely go back on their own," Wang Keke was already considering falling back.
"What are you talking about!" Mo Qingyi’s voice suddenly turned cold, "We all ca here together! Of course, we should leave together! I won’t go back until we’ve found the others."
Scared as she was, she would never abandon her friends in a ti like this!
Li Yong also spoke up, "Mo Qingyi is right! At a ti like this, we absolutely cannot leave! What if they really t with an accident?" If a girl could stand her ground and not back down in such a situation, he, as a man, certainly could not show too much cowardice.

Elsewhere, Chu Jin had arrived in front of a mountain cave, stopping as directed by the map.
Clearly, this was no ordinary cave.
Two long-robed figures stood guard at the entrance.
According to the map, Soul Resurrection Grass should be inside the cave.
But as things stood now, she couldn’t get in.
Unless there was another entrance to the cave.
"Jin, have you forgotten that you still have half a bottle of Invisibility Water?" Zi from the Purple Thunder Space reminded her.
It was then that Chu Jin rembered; to deal with Zhao Yiling, she had asked Zi to prepare Invisibility Water for her, and after using half a bottle last ti, she still had half left.
"Thanks for the reminder," Chu Jin said with a slight curl of her lip, taking out the remaining Invisibility Water from the space and consuming it.
After making sure there were no problems, she approached the cave entrance.
While walking, she also found a black baseball cap in the Purple Thunder Space and put it on her head.
She pulled the brim of her hat down further.
It concealed her exquisitely delicate features that were as beautiful as jade.
Zi continued, "Brother Jin, this Invisibility Water can only maintain its effect for half an hour, we must act quickly and decisively."
Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Got it, you also keep a close watch for ."
Zi patted her chest and said, "No problem, leave it to my three bodies of Zi Han."
Thanks to the Invisibility Water, Chu Jin smoothly entered the cave.
Calling it a cave was a bit of an understatent; it was more like an underground castle, opulent beyond compare, leading deep underground.
Everywhere he went, there were people patrolling back and forth! The defenses were extrely strict.
Chu Jin held his breath, avoiding one infrared beam after another as he made his way deeper underground.
The deeper he went, the more oppressive the air beca! The guards beca more nurous as well.
Zi reminded him anxiously, "Brother Jin, you need to move faster, we only have 20 minutes left!"
"I know." As he spoke, Chu Jin once again squinted and dodged another infrared beam.
Not only were there guards here, but there were also chanisms everywhere, invisible to the naked eye, any slight misstep could trigger an alarm.
Just around the corner should be the place where the Soul Resurrection Grass was stored.
There were only 15 minutes left until the Invisibility Water would wear off.
There were many guards here.
More than all he had encountered on the way put together, indicating that the Soul Resurrection Grass must be extrely precious; otherwise, the defenses would not be so tight.
Chu Jin cautiously entered the room where the Soul Resurrection Grass was kept.
This was clearly a small treasury, filled with jewels flashing dazzling light. No wonder there were so many guards outside. Chu Jin quickly identified a wooden box emitting a red glow among the pile of jewels.
Inside it, the Soul Resurrection Grass should be stored.
It was a large wooden box, and it would be impossible to take away with the box itself.
The wooden box was locked.
An old-fashioned copper lock.
Chu Jin walked to the side, took a black hairpin out of his pocket, inserted it into the lock, and gave it a gentle twist.
"Click," went the sound.
The lock was open.
But it also drew the attention of the guards at the door.
"Who’s there!" Suddenly, more than a dozen fully ard n appeared in the previously empty room.
Chu Jin quickly held his breath and moved aside.
But it was already too late, as one of the guards had noticed sothing was off with the wooden box.
A dozen dark gun barrels were all aid at Chu Jin.
The urgent alarm sounded through the entire underground castle.
One of them threw a handful of unknown gold powder into the air, and Chu Jin’s body imdiately appeared in the air.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
The sound of gunfire resounded.
With a grasping motion out of thin air, an Oil-paper Umbrella appeared in Chu Jin’s right hand.
As the umbrella opened, it emanated a fierce, blinding red light.
Not only did it block the bullets, but it also made it difficult for the guards to keep their eyes open!
Seizing the mont, Chu Jin flashed to the side, covering himself with the umbrella in his right hand, and quickly grabbed the Soul Resurrection Grass lying in the wooden box with his left hand!
"Catch her! Don’t let her get away at all costs!"
More and more guards were arriving.
To walk out of here would undoubtedly require a bloody battle!
Chu Jin, trying not to harm anyone, dodged the bullets that flew towards him while making his way out!
But the guards would not give him any chance to escape!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, five or six guards had already flashed in front of her.
Punching! Sweeping the leg!
Each strike aid for vital points!
These five were skilled in close quarters combat, clearly not just any common fighters!
Chu Jin slightly squinted her eyes, one hand holding the Soul Resurrection Grass.
