"Boss, then---what is that thing?" Qian Chuanzi was already nervously speaking and disconnected. "I don't know" I answered calmly, but this kind of calmness was completely pretending, and I was actually very scared.

"Boss, what should we do now? Rush over and chop it?" Qian Chuanzi asked in a low voice with his hands holding the knife, but his hands holding the knife were already trembling with tension and did not look like he wanted to charge.

"Forget it, let's stand here first and then talk about it." Although I was very scared, I was not scared to the point of confusion in my mind. In this situation, escaping is definitely not possible. Running around in the woods at night is no different from dying. In fact, the best way now should be to climb trees, but the trees here always make me feel frightened, especially the smell of rotten corpses, which is enough to prove that these trees are not ordinary varieties.

I suspect that the trees here are all meat-eating. I was able to come down from the trees safely just now, maybe because they don’t eat during the day. Now that dinner time is up, if I climb up with Qianshangzi, it is almost like a takeaway, so the best way at the moment should be to stay in place and figure out the situation.

We stared at the things in the distance nervously, but the thing was just floating around and didn't seem to find our existence. But soon the situation was wrong. The same thing began to appear in the woods under the night sky, and the way these things appeared was very strange, as if they all floated out from behind the big trees, as if they were originally lying there, but now they had made an appointment to come out together.

"Boss, there is one there! Boss, there is one there! Boss, there is another one there!-----" Qian Chuanzi kept shouting at me, but soon he stopped shouting because the woods were densely filled with white shadows, and there were everywhere in front, back, left and right, and there were countless numbers. Even the big trees closest to us also appeared under the big trees. But this time I finally saw clearly that these things did not come from behind the tree, but came from the trunk.

These things vary in size and shapes. Human-shaped ones also have animals in shape. They are all white in color. They look like white fog floating in the wind. However, some fog is thicker, while others are very thin and almost transparent.

With the emergence of these things, the temperature around it also dropped sharply. In a blink of an eye, it changed from the warmth of spring to the severe cold of winter. Moreover, this severe cold was a bit strange and seemed to penetrate directly into the body. Almost in an instant, I felt that the cold was coming out of the cracks of the bones, and Qian Chuanzi's performance was even worse. Although he had dozens of kilograms of meat more than me, it did not play a role in resisting the cold and involuntarily started a cold war.

"Old----Boss, what are these things? Is it -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stared around and said helplessly, "I don't know". Now I will definitely not be able to run away. In addition to the open space where we are standing, the woods are full of white ghosts, which are even more crowded than when the supermarket is discounted. No matter which direction we want to run, we have to pass through the endless group of ghosts. Even if these ghosts stand still and let us walk past us, we will probably go crazy.

Besides, this situation will never happen. Now I finally understand that the source of the stench on the tree should be the smell of rotten corpses. Thinking that I had just bitten on the branch, my stomach immediately began to churn. Although I don’t know how these ghosts eat, one thing is certain, Qianshangzi and I should be the food in their eyes.

Just as I was thinking about countermeasures, the ghosts in the woods also discovered us and began to rush towards the clearing where we were standing. Their movement posture was very strange, with their feet more than ten centimeters away from the ground, and their whole body floated in the air as if they had no weight at all, but the speed was very fast and the direction was well controlled. They floated over without taking any detours. I really don't know how they did it.

"Boss, they are here!" Qian Chuanzi shouted loudly, and at the same time, his legs stood in horse stance, holding the knife in both hands, pointing forward. Seeing his movements, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, "Why is this posture so similar to the Japanese Taijun in the anti-Japanese drama?"

‘It’s time to do it, you still have time to think about it. Hurry up and find a way to escape.’ I shouted to myself in my heart, and immediately turned my attention to the ghosts. But looking at the dense white ghosts around me, I was completely helpless. ‘Damn God! Are you playing with me? I endured it when I sent me to this ghost place. Are you, he, actually made so many real ghosts. I am only sixteen years old, and the good times of my life have just begun. I don’t want to die! I will go to heaven to settle the score with you when I die!’ I cursed loudly in my heart with my eyes closed.

The reason I closed my eyes was because I had intensive phobia and couldn't stand it anymore. On the other hand, I had completely given up on resisting and was preparing to die. Not to mention me, I had to accept my fate even if Zhao Zilong from the Three Kingdoms came and fought a bloody way out of thousands of troops. Many fierce people have done such a thing in history, but trying to fight a bloody way out of countless ghosts is not something that humans do.

However, it was really uncomfortable to wait for death. I was nervous and scared. I was hoping that the butcher knife would fall down soon, and I hoped that the butcher knife would never fall down. Now I finally understood what it felt like to be sent to the slaughterhouse. The most hateful thing is that time passed very slowly at this time. After waiting for a long time, I didn’t even feel any pain at all.

"Am I dead? Maybe the ghost's skill is superb, just like the painless surgery promoted by some hospitals, 'I'll do surgery today and go to work tomorrow'" I was thinking in my mind.

"Boss, wake up! Wake up!" Qian Chuanzi's anxious shout suddenly came from his ears. I quickly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the dense white ghosts around me. I immediately had goose bumps on my body, and it felt numb, like countless earthworms crawling around on my skin. I quickly closed my eyes again.

"Boss, open your eyes and see, they haven't come." Qian Chuanzi was still shouting loudly. The shouting made me feel moved, and I squinted my eyes slightly and looked around. Although doing so still made me feel extremely uncomfortable, I could only bear it at the critical moment of life and death.

After watching it for a while, I was surprised to find that the ghosts stopped at this moment and formed a tight circle four or five meters away from us. No ghost took another step. This formation was a bit like a tourist watching free-range monkeys in the zoo.

"Is it because I was wrong in judgment? Their interest is just to watch, not to fill their stomachs?" I couldn't help but feel a little confused, but I immediately denied my thoughts, because the ghosts in front of me all had fierce eyes, ferocious faces, and were eager to try. This was definitely not the mentality of tourists watching monkeys. They really wanted to pounce on us, but we seemed to have something that made them feel scared, so we were reluctant to get close.

I turned my eyes to the soul-breaking sword in Qian Chuanzi's hand. Judging from the strange behavior of this sword, the ghost should be afraid of it. Now I don't know whether I should say whether I am lucky or not. I inexplicably came to a strange place, and inexplicably picked up a strange knife, and inexplicably encountered countless ghosts. Finally, inexplicably discovered that the knife I picked up could save my life.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered a sentence, "While God is closing a door to you, it will always leave an open window for you." "Okay, God, I appreciate it. If you want to settle the score with you just now, I will take back the words. You have a lot of them, don't be as knowledgeable as me, a little kid. Please show your magical powers and let us leave this ghost place as soon as possible." I prayed silently in my heart.

Although this prayer sounds a bit inconsistent, it comes from my heart. But I really don’t know what to say about formal prayers. I have received materialistic education since I was a child, oppose all feudal superstitions, and never believe that there will be ghosts and gods in this world. But from this moment on, I believe that since I have seen ghosts and gods in person, then gods should not be the characters in fantasy.

"Boss, they seem to be afraid of us." Qian Chuanzi also saw the trick, "They should be afraid of your knife." "My knife?" Qian Chuanzi looked at the knife in his hand in confusion, and then became excited. "I just said that the things I can pick up must be extraordinary. This should be the legendary artifact. I wonder how much the fat boss in the small supermarket is willing to pay?" "Don't think about money for now, let's go out if you have the life to talk about it." I pulled Qian Chuanzi's thinking back to reality from fantasy.

"Boss, how should we get out?" "I don't know." I simply replied. While saying this, a picture flashed through my mind, "Qian Chuanzi held a knife to open the way in front, and I followed closely behind. After seeing us coming, the ghost opposite dodged away in fear. Qian Chuanzi and I carefully passed through the middle.
