There were all kinds of unknowns around, and they could all be fatal dangers. The only thing that made Lin Yi feel at ease was that at this moment, the jade pendant was no longer warning. Not to mention Chu Bubai, at least one thing was certain, it was safe for the time being.
However, temporary safety did not mean that it would always be safe. On the one hand, Lin Yi didn't want to stay in the same place for too long. On the other hand, he wanted to know what Chu Bubai was doing. So, he held Huang Xiaotao tightly and walked forward carefully.
However, after a few steps, the jade pendant began to warn again. The further they went, the more intense the warning became. Lin Yi was finally sure that this place was definitely not ordinary, and there was a 100% problem ahead!
After understanding this, Lin Yi stopped moving forward. He directly took Huang Xiaotao and stopped again.
"Are we not going?" Huang Xiaotao turned to look at Lin Yi in surprise.
"Yes, we're not going." Lin Yi nodded. He was not a fool. Knowing that there was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den ahead, he still wanted to take Huang Xiaotao. It was not called being bold, but having a hole in his brain.
"Then we …" Huang Xiaotao looked at the fog around them, and the ghostly shadows flashed from time to time. She couldn't help but shrink her neck.
"It's okay. We'll stay here. There is no danger." Lin Yi smiled comfortingly. Staying in the same place could maximize their vigilance. Plus, the jade pendant could warn them in advance, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Okay." Huang Xiaotao nodded obediently. Although she was still nervous, she would do whatever Lin Yi said.
Time passed by bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, the sky had begun to brighten, indicating that a whole night had passed. However, the fog did not dissipate because of this. Compared to the night, the visibility was slightly better, but it was very limited.
What surprised Lin Yi was … He and Huang Xiaotao stayed here for a whole night, but they did not encounter any situation. There was no danger, but there was no news of those people in front. Chu Bubai, Guo Dengtao, and the others seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Although Lin Yi was puzzled, he was not in a hurry. As an assassin, he did not lack patience.
Huang Xiaotao, who was with him, was a girl. Although he was a little afraid of this strange and evil environment, he had spent the past few years completing trial missions, so his patience was naturally top-notch.
Just like that, the two of them waited in the same place for an entire night, but they didn't show any signs of impatience. After another six to eight hours, they estimated that it should be noon.
"Lin Yi, why don't we leave?" Huang Xiaotao looked at Lin Yi anxiously. It was not that she had run out of patience, but this place was simply too horrifying. From time to time, he would see a ghostly shadow flashing by, but he couldn't figure out what it was. The more he thought about it, the more numb his scalp became.
"Let's wait a little longer." Lin Yi held Huang Xiaotao in his arms to comfort her. Since things had developed to this point, turning around and leaving was indeed the safest thing to do. After all, they had the route map that Chu Bubai had given them, and they had already walked it once. It shouldn't be a problem for them to return the way they came.
However, Lin Yi didn't want to give up just like that. If he didn't smell the medicinal fragrance of the Infant Ginseng, then it would be fine. But now, he was sure that there must be Infant Ginseng around!
Turning around and leaving because of an unknown threat, if it was anyone else, they would not be willing. Even if they successfully escaped, they would definitely regret it when the time came.
Instead of regretting, it was better to wait and see. Of course, even if he was unwilling to leave just like that, Lin Yi couldn't bring Huang Xiaotao to take risks. He still had a sense of propriety.
"Oh." Huang Xiaotao didn't say anything else. She just leaned against Lin Yi and continued to wait quietly.
In the blink of an eye, another eight to ten hours had passed. The sky had turned dark again, and the surroundings became gloomy and ghostly again. However, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao still didn't receive any news. There was no news from the people in front of them from beginning to end.
This time, even the originally calm Lin Yi couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Could it really be the Ghost Fog Array that Chu Bubai mentioned? Although it was indeed dangerous, it would be fine as long as they rushed over? Could it be that Chu Bubai, Guo Dengtao, and the others had left through other routes after obtaining the Nascent Ginseng?
His mind was full of question marks, which made Lin Yi lose confidence in his original judgment. Lin Yi even felt that if he continued to wait here, he might not see anything even after a few more days!
Although it was safe for now, who knew what would appear in this place after a long time. They had already waited for a day and a night. If they continued to wait, it would probably be a waste of time.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi finally made up his mind to bring Huang Xiaotao back first. However, just as he was about to speak to Huang Xiaotao, there was suddenly the sound of messy footsteps and heavy breathing coming from not far in front of the fog!
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao's hearts suddenly tightened. The two of them looked at each other and quickly mobilized the Qi in their bodies. They were fully alert while trying to sense the situation in front of them.
Amidst the thick fog, not far ahead, a figure appeared indistinctly!
Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao were shocked at the same time. Although it was only a general outline, they had been following this person for the past few days.
The person in the fog in front of them was Chu Bubai, who had disappeared for a whole day and night!
At this moment, Chu Bubai was madly running in the direction of Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao. It seemed that there was something chasing him from behind.
He was a late stage golden core practitioner, and yet he was being chased to the point where his steps were messed up. Even if they couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao could clearly feel his panic at this moment. It was simply unimaginable.
Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly wonder who was behind Chu Bubai.
Chu Bubai didn't look like a weak person. Judging from his aura, even if he was in the late Gold Core stage, he wouldn't be weak. To be able to make him so embarrassed, could it be a powerful existence in the Nascent Soul stage?
While Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao were in a daze, they heard Chu Bubai running in a panic and seemed to be very surprised and unwilling. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "Phew! It shouldn't be! This ginseng clearly only needs to be sacrificed with the golden cores of five masters in the Gold Core realm, and it will no longer have any offensive power. This is what Grandpa said himself. It can't be wrong! The Ghost Talisman Devils that I controlled should have already led them over. Why are they still … Ga! "
The voice stopped abruptly here. An extremely shrill scream was heard. Then, the figure that was getting closer and closer to Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao was hit by some powerful evil attack and turned into a mist of blood! Floating Astronomy.
