While Mo Shouchen shouted, he used his other hand to touch Ye Nianwen's hand that he was holding.
He found that only a small section of the wrist was left in this hand. The broken area was bloody and bloody, and it felt like it had been torn off forcefully.
"Ye Nianwen! Ye Nianwen!"
Mo Shouchen shouted twice more, but Ye Nianwen still didn't respond.
At this time, the sound of biting stopped, and the chaotic footsteps began to surround Mo Shouchen, seeming to be preparing to attack him.
But Mo Shouchen just stood there. He didn't run, didn't panic, and didn't open his eyes.
He sneered and said: "Yes, yes, this performance is really wonderful. It reminds me of a classical Chinese article describing ventriloquism that I learned in middle school."
All he responded to was a series of low growls, and these sounds were very close to him, as if the thing making the noise would pounce at any time.
"Okay, stop pretending, I won't open my eyes!"
The low roar gradually stopped, and then Mo Shouchen heard a voice exactly like Ye Nianwen's saying: "How did you find out?"
Mo Shouchen smiled, "You just said that Gao Banxian also went to stop the evil ghost, but if there was a real danger, given his character, he would have stayed far away, so I knew you were lying right away!"
"So that's it. I didn't expect you to be so hard to deceive. Well, let's go!" The voice seemed a little unwilling to speak, but in the end it gave up.
Mo Shouchen felt another pulling force on Ye Nianwen's hand. It seemed that everything that happened just now was an illusion. Ye Nianwen's hand was not broken at all, and everyone else was safe and sound.
At this time, he had already counted ninety-six steps. He only needed to take three more steps to walk out of the Flower Path.
Ninety-seven!
Ninety-eight!
Ninety-nine!
After walking the ninety-nine steps, Mo Shouchen was about to open his eyes, but Su Ya's voice came to his ears.
"Don't open your eyes! You're still ten steps away!"
Mo Shouchen, who was about to open his eyes, quickly stopped.
He thought about it carefully and found that although he had counted it step by step, the entire process of being chased by the evil ghost was fake, so the few steps Ye Nianwen pulled him to run were also an illusion.
He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the guy who created the illusion was so cunning and had laid many traps. Fortunately, Su Ya reminded him in time, otherwise he would have been lost on this path.
Mo Shouchen walked ten steps forward, and then slowly opened his eyes. He found that there was an open plain in front of him, and he had successfully walked out of the sea of flowers on the other side.
The sky here is thick red, like a river of blood, and there is no sun or moon at all.
The plains here are like land that has been dry for many years. They are all cracked and there are no green plants around.
There are a few small trees here and there that are withered, giving people a lifeless feeling.
This should be the Forgotten River.
Mo Shouchen looked around and found that there were no roads around him. There was endless desolation everywhere, and it was impossible to judge which direction to go.
Ye Nianwen looked into the distance and asked, "What should we do next?"
Mo Shouchen thought for a moment, then pointed ahead and said, "Let's walk forward first and see if we can meet anyone who can ask for directions."
In this way, the group of people continued to walk forward. Mo Shouchen originally thought that it would be difficult to meet people in this desolate plain, but he did not expect that not long after walking, several figures appeared in front of them.
Anyone who can appear in the Forgotten River must be an evil ghost. In order to prevent Mo Shouchen from being discovered, others surrounded him and then walked towards those figures.
As the distance gets closer, you can see that the faces of the people in front are livid and their bodies are in dilapidated condition. Some have no arms and some have no eyes. They look like wounded soldiers who have just been removed from the battlefield.
Those evil ghosts noticed someone coming towards them and approached them. The two groups of people soon met.
Because Gao Banxian was more eloquent, Mo Shouchen asked him to come forward and ask those evil ghosts for directions.
Gao Banxian walked up to a few evil ghosts, bowed first, and then asked: "Little brothers, do you know how to get to Ainian Town?"
"Mourning Town?"
The one-eyed ghost, the strongest among the evil ghosts, looked at Gao Banxian with his only remaining eye, then looked at the people behind Gao Banxian, and then asked: "Are you new here?"
Gao Banxian nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, we are all new here. We are not very familiar with this place. I would like to trouble my little brother to make it easier."
The one-eyed ghost pointed to the front somewhat arrogantly and said, "If you keep going forward, you will see an archway with a white lantern hanging there. That is the Town of Sorrow."
Gao Banxian thanked him, but just when he was about to turn around and return to Mo Shouchen, the one-eyed ghost suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?" Gao Banxian turned around and asked doubtfully.
The one-eyed ghost twitched his nose twice, and then asked excitedly: "Why do I smell the smell of a living person?"
