The terrain on the mountain was far more complicated than Chi Jiao and the rest had imagined. If it wasn't for an experienced person leading them up the mountain, they would be completely at a loss, let alone know which path to take.
However, Liu Daguo still appeared very uneasy as he kept muttering along the way.
"Sir, I'm doing this for the sake of living. I have no choice either. When I leave the mountain this time, after a month, I'll definitely go up the mountain to burn paper money for you. I'll burn it for seven days. No one will take care of you when you go down there alone. In the future, when I worship my ancestors every year, I'll also give you tributes …"
Liu Daguo kept muttering, making Bai Xiaozhou even more nervous.
Bai Xiaozhou gripped the peach wood sword in his hand tightly, constantly vigilant of his surroundings.
Beitang Lie was only afraid of ghosts. He wasn't afraid of the dead, nor was he afraid of Chen Li, who wanted to eat people. Therefore, he was rather calm along the way. He only followed Chi Jiao closely and used the flashlight in his hand to illuminate the area.
When Bai Xiaozhou saw that Beitang Lie and Chi Jiao weren't holding anything, he asked uneasily, "Big Brother Beitang, why didn't you and Boss bring anything?"
"We're here to catch someone this time. There's no need for those strange things. Besides, with Boss around, what's there to be afraid of? "Beitang Lie said proudly.
Bai Xiaozhou looked at Beitang Lie in admiration. "Big Brother Beitang Lie, you're so bold! I'll follow you from now on! "
Beitang Lie smiled. "Of course. Follow me closely. If anything rushes out, I'll be the first to help you deal with it!"
However, just as Beitang Lie said this, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes beside him.
"Ah!" Beitang Lie, who was still aggressive a second ago, immediately jumped three feet high and almost jumped onto a big tree at the side.
In the end, an innocent squirrel passed by the bushes. When it left, it didn't even forget to glance at this neurotic human. It wagged its tail in disdain before quickly scurrying up a big tree and leaving.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Especially Beitang Lie, the corner of his mouth twitched a few times, "That … that was an accident."
Bai Xiaozhou didn't say anything when he heard that. Instead, he silently distanced himself from Beitang Lie and continued to follow Chi Jiao for protection.
Beitang Lie's lips twitched a couple of times before he lowered his head dejectedly and silently followed the group's footsteps.
After the four of them walked for about 15 minutes, Liu Daguo brought them to an open space.
"Up ahead is Old Jue's land. His body is buried there." Liu Daguo was a little scared and said carefully, "I'll take you here. You can see for yourselves. Old Jue has only been buried for a month. The marks on the ground are still very obvious. You can see it at a glance."
"Thank you." Chi Jiao nodded and thanked him. Just as she was about to continue walking, she suddenly heard creaking sounds ahead.
This strange sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. Goosebumps appeared on everyone's back at the same time.
Creak. Creak. It sounded like fingernails rubbing against a coffin. It was extremely ear-piercing in the silent night.
Other than Chi Jiao, the three of them were instantly frightened out of their wits. Bai Xiaozhou raised the peach wood sword in his hand and said with a pale face, "There's a ghost. Is there a ghost?!"
"Calm down. Follow me. Let's go take a look." Chi Jiao remained calm as she listened to the terrifying sound.
