The swamp's muddy ground offered a rare patch of dry land.

Yingying sat down on a rock, watching the boss sitting cross-legged on the ground ahead. She noticed especially the area around his legs; a puddle had formed, and his clothes were soaked through long ago.

Thinking of her boss, who loved cleanliness more than anything, being in such a state made Yingying instinctively uncomfortable. Yet she knew there was nothing she could do but watch from the side.

Lawyer An's bony hand moved back and forth in front of Zhou Ze, who kept his eyes closed, maintaining the illusion. An was actually the one in the most danger. If the boss lost control, even just instinctively "fighting back" and breaking the illusion,

he'd immediately become senile.

Dancing on the edge of a blade in real life, so damn stimulating!

He hadn't seen the Mount Tai deep within the boss's soul, but he could sense it. The aura of majesty and vastness kept him from being reckless, forcing him to be as careful as possible.

Xu Qinglang stood there, holding an e-cigarette, taking intermittent puffs, the faint green light in his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

His relationship with Zhou Ze wasn't purely one of employee and boss. When he'd opened his noodle shop, Zhou Ze had just returned to life and opened his bookstore. They could be considered friends from humble beginnings.

He didn't feel it was hard work, doing his best to protect Zhou Ze, just like Zhou Ze had watched over him from his car on the street when he'd sealed the Sea God in his noodle shop.

Yingying pouted.

She felt that her boss had really changed a lot since returning from hell.

Although he still liked to bask in the sun, drink coffee, and read the newspaper in the morning,

he was still different than before.

To put it mildly, how could the old boss have agreed to come all the way here?

The boss was a clean freak.

Yingying pursed her lips, stood up, feeling a bit frustrated.

If the boss could always be so lazy and leisurely, staying with her in the bookstore, with her attentively serving him, how wonderful that life would be.

But these girlish thoughts were only dared to be thought in her heart, and couldn't be spoken aloud.

Yingying was just happy to be simple, but not stupid.

After all, she was two hundred years old, and after spending over a year in the city, she understood what she needed to.

Living in this world, even after death as a ghost, it was difficult to stay comfortable and leisurely forever.

Yingying knew,

even for Madam Bai, who she had personally beaten until her soul dissipated,

her two hundred years of seemingly aimless wandering was not true freedom.

According to the old man in the painting, Madam Bai was captured by Qing soldiers in Tongcheng and drowned in the Hao River.

But what about her coffin?

Her body was Madam Bai's.

And what about the many burial objects in the coffin?

Thinking about it this way,

perhaps even the truth of Madam Bai's capture by the Qing soldiers back then was worth pondering.

She wasn't pondering this because Yingying missed Madam Bai or felt any guilt.

If Madam wanted to plot against the boss,

then she definitely had to destroy her.

Yingying didn't think she had done anything wrong.

She just instinctively felt that Madam Bai's matter wasn't that simple, even though she had already been reduced to nothing.

Suddenly,

Yingying frowned,

stood up,

and whispered:

"It's getting foggy."

Xu Qinglang nodded upon hearing this.

The climate in the Savage Mountain was changeable; rain and fog were common, and it wasn't unusual for it to rain for more than ten days in a row.

But,

after a moment,

Xu Qinglang's expression suddenly hardened,

and he said in a deep voice:

"There's something wrong with this fog."

"You stay here and watch the boss and the lawyer, I'll go take a look ahead."

Yingying walked away.

Xu Qinglang didn't stop her; it was the right thing to do. At this moment, any accident could have extremely serious consequences.

However,

after Yingying left, he turned to look at Lawyer An, who was sitting there cross-legged, the green light in the depths of his eyes growing stronger, and slowly said:

"Open your eyes."

Lawyer An sensed something,

and opened his eyes,

but the movements of his hands didn't stop.

He looked around, surveying the surrounding fog, then looked at Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang had thought that Lawyer An would say something, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded trustingly at him, and slowly closed his eyes again, immersing himself wholeheartedly in the work of consolidating the illusion for Zhou Ze.

Xu Qinglang took a few steps closer, put down his backpack, and took out the copper coin sword, paper talismans, and some small flags and chess pieces for setting up a formation, placing them around Zhou Ze.

Whether something happened or not, it was always right to prepare in advance.

After everything was set up,

the green light in Xu Qinglang's eyes began to intensify,

and in that moment,

he began to hear the sounds of snakes, insects, and rodents nearby.

With this place as the center,

within a radius of two kilometers,

there were more than twenty snakes.

These snakes were now slowly raising their heads from their dormant and hidden states,

and then began to slither quickly in the branches and on the ground.

They had been summoned,

and began to actively explore the surroundings.

Yingying hadn't walked far before she noticed that the fog ahead was getting thicker and thicker, almost to the point of "thick smoke."

She hesitated a little,

because she seemed to have seen this kind of fog before,

but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

In the fog ahead, figures suddenly appeared. Yingying slowed her pace.

She saw more than a dozen people walking out of the fog, forming a line, passing neatly in front of her.

It was as if underworld soldiers were passing through,

so silent that it made her scalp tingle.

Yingying recognized these dozen or so people; they were the group of outlaws with guns they had encountered before.

In the end, it was Xu Niangniang who had killed them,

but shouldn't their souls go to hell themselves?

Why were they parading here in line?

Could it be that they were good brothers in life, and wanted to be together after death, not separating even in death?

"Ding... ding..."

It sounded like a bell, or like someone was敲击something. The source of the sound was in the same direction that this group of亡魂were walking.

Was someone summoning亡魂here?

A look of anger appeared on Yingying's face.

She knew what the boss had come here for,

and any accident that occurred here now could affect whether the boss's plan was completed,

just which bastard was so blind!

"Ding... ding..."

The sound continued to come.

Yingying suddenly heard movement behind her,

and quickly turned around,

her煞气instantly gathering,

but found that what had appeared behind her was a队伍with men, women, old, and young.

They tiptoed,

their expressions numb,

some wearing local Burmese民族服饰, some wearing more modern clothes, but all looked very old.

They should be Burmese村民living on the outskirts of the Savage Mountain.

Yingying had heard the boss and Lawyer An chatting a few days ago, saying that Myanmar was much more chaotic than China. It seemed that some places were still at war, and for various reasons, the local economic development and other aspects were really not flattering.

Taking a few steps back,

letting these people walk past her, Yingying finally remembered, she had encountered this fog before!

That was the last time Little Loli was abducted and she accompanied the boss to save her.

They encountered this kind of fog,

and then the boss and Lawyer An inexplicably had their souls leave their bodies and went to hell.

Then she and the others looked for them for a long time, and finally reunited with the boss in Xuzhou.

Without any further hesitation, Yingying didn't think about傻乎乎ly heading towards the sound, but immediately ran back, the most important thing now was to tell the boss and the others about the situation.

However,

Yingying didn't run far,

before another figure appeared in front of her.

Having seen so many groups before,

the sudden appearance of a lone figure

made Yingying instinctively suspicious, and she slowed down.

And at this time,

the black shadow suddenly窜out,

and pounced directly over!

"Courting death!"

Yingying let out a low shout,

and her nails, gathering煞气, swept directly over,

"Bang!"

The black shadow was directly sent flying out.

The domineering power of a female僵尸's physique in the wild was on full display.

Whether it was精魅or妖物,

wanting to suppress Yingying in terms of physical strength was really not an easy task.

"Ding..."

The sound rang out again,

this time,

it was very close to her!

Yingying knew,

she had been targeted.

Immediately,

she suddenly raised her head,

and let out a roar,

hoping that this roar could serve as a warning to the boss and the others,

however,

it seemed that wind was blowing in this fog, the sound of the wind mixed with the screams,搅动ing everything into a chaotic mess.

Several more black shadows appeared in the nearby fog, like野兽, pouncing towards Yingying.

Yingying's hair began to fade to white,

her eyes without joy or sorrow,

but the speed and power of her出手were more than one level stronger than before.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

"Bang!"

After continuously抽飞ing out several black shadows, Yingying began to狂奔in the direction she remembered coming from. During the奔跑, black shadows kept popping up trying to block her, but they were all directly抽开by Yingying.

Even if these black things were close to you, you couldn't tell what they were, like野兽, and like humans, but all over漆黑.

She didn't know how long she had run,

even though the direction was right, she still hadn't run back to where the boss and the others were.

Yingying had to slow down, slowly stop, and the color of her hair also returned to black. When she ran here, nothing ran out in the fog anymore. Yingying also had to save her strength, the consumption in that white-haired state was really too great.

Slowly continuing to move forward,

Yingying found that there seemed to be something in the fog ahead,

very tall, and very big.

After getting closer,

she finally saw it clearly,

it was a stone gate!

"Ding..."

The sound rang out,

coming from behind this stone gate.

Yingying咬了咬牙,

her face a little flustered,

she didn't recognize what this thing was,

she only knew one thing:

"Boss, people are really useless, they actually got lost;

嘤嘤嘤..."
