I sat on the ground gasping for breath, I was half dead from the run, and now I couldn't lift up a little strength in my body. By the time I fled, I had run out of power.

In fact, there is not much Yin judicial power in the hidden stone, and I didn't find a way to absorb Yin judicial power before, so I consumed a lot.

Later, the Yin Judicial Power absorbed from the Jizo Stone was even less.

The yellow foliage overhead is dense and dimly lit.

The side I was on was an upward slope, and the ground was full of dry fallen leaves. There were no other twelve people around, just me. Damn, it makes me feel bad.

But I couldn't just stay here, and I thought I should keep going. But it was in the trees before, and in the distance, there seemed to be a clearing on the top of the mountain. But sometimes there is a difference between the visual distance and the real distance.

There is a saying that Wangshan runs a dead horse, which is also the truth. You see the mountain and think it's close, but it's actually far away.

The point is, there are trees all around, and I don't know where to go.

The cool wind blew in the woods, freezing my whole body and my body began to shiver involuntarily. And I feel hungry and thirsty now, like I'm falling apart.

The hot sweat on his back was now blown by the wind, and it had become colder and colder.

I didn't have water or food with me either, and I felt like I should eat something first. After all, I'm going to be here for a month. If I don't eat, drink, or meet ghosts, I'm afraid I'll die of hunger and thirst.

You must replenish your stamina to be able to escape if you encounter a ghost.

Yes, this is primary.

There is another one, which is to look for the "Seven Leaf Black Lotus", and only when you find the Seven Leaf Black Lotus can you absorb the Yin power inside.

With that in mind, after a short rest, I got up and started walking around the woods. But there seemed to be nothing more to be seen in the woods than the yellow weeds and decaying leaves.

It took more than twenty minutes.

Oh yes, I couldn't walk anymore, so I sat on the ground again. My body was so weak that I fell to the ground flat.

It's also heartless, my eyelids are cloudy, and before I know it, I'm lying here... I fell asleep like this.

It's still cold all around.

The light fades quickly.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard the sound of something stepping on the leaves. Although the sound is not very loud, it is very clear.

I opened my eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and I saw a hideous-looking ghost corpse walking towards me.

Knowing that it was not good, I immediately sat up from the ground, and without saying a word, I ran in one direction.

I can't discern the direction at all now, and it's important to save my life. But I had barely run a few paces away when I heard the sound of rustling again. Right in front of me, and there seemed to be a lot of ghosts approaching me.

There was no choice but to change the direction.

But... I hadn't run a few steps before I heard the sound of rustling in this direction. Grandma's, I'm a little dazed. Because I can see that there are ghosts approaching me in all three directions.

There's one last direction.

I gritted my teeth and ran over there. But my stomach was growling, empty, I was running, but I didn't have much strength in my body.

Eventually, I couldn't run anymore and stopped.

I had to stop because I saw another ghost corpse in front of me. The ghosts were coming towards me with their heads tilted, fast.

I took two steps back, leaning against the tree, and I couldn't run.

At this time, there are ghosts and corpses in front of you, left and right. A low "uh-uh" grunt came out of their mouths. Several of the corpses had decomposing faces, and the flesh on their faces would fall from their faces as they walked.

There were maggots crawling on their faces, and green-headed flies buzzing around their bodies, sucking their juices.

And that's not all!

Finally, they spotted me and doubled my running speed.

Within a few breaths, they came up to me and surrounded me.

Finished! It's over!

I thought I'd be able to stay here for a month, but now it seems impossible.

Leaning against the trunk of the tree, I raised my hand and grabbed a stone from the ground next to me, holding it in my hand as a protective measure.

"Damn, come on, I'm not afraid of you, master!"

I screamed, and my gaze became determined.

And the corpses that surrounded me stopped a meter away. I noticed that there were dozens of them.

It was already all around me.

But how did they stop? Are you going to let me go?

No, I thought of the words of that judge Zhong Kui, didn't I say that as long as the jade plate on my body turns blood red, I won't die.

That's right, Jade!

I hurried to look at the jade plaque. However, I found that my jade plate had not changed at all, and it was still the original color.

At this time, the ghosts and corpses around me, they all slowly raised their heads, and their normal eyes turned into the color of white porcelain.

Then, their mouths cracked at a rapid pace, growing bigger and bigger......

There was still a thick liquid coming out of the corners of their mouths.

No, it's not! They didn't want to corrupt my jade plate, but said... It seems to be... You're going to kill me.

But didn't Judge Zhong Kui say that they wouldn't kill people? Could it be that Judge Zhong Kui is lying to me?

However, while I was thinking about these things, the ghosts were already moving, baring their sharp fangs in their mouths, and they pounced on me. I threw the stone out of my hand in a panic.

With a "poof", the head of a nearby ghost corpse was hit by a stone.

I didn't expect his head to be so fragile, like a rotten watermelon, vulnerable. Directly, his head was shattered by stones, and broken bones, blood, and slurry all slid down his shoulders.

But his body was still upright, his hands stretched forward. And the other corpses have already pounced on me. For a moment, I smelled a putrid smell that made me gag.

"Nope! No... I can't die! ”

I yelled and sat up from the ground suddenly.

But when I sat up, I found the ghosts all around... It's all gone.

"It's... How so? ”

I'm a little confused. But soon I came to my senses.

I just had a terrible nightmare.

A layer of hot sweat appeared on the door of my head, and I raised my hand to gently wipe the beads of sweat on the door of my head. However, maybe this dream was too scary, so I subconsciously looked around.

And nothing was found.

At this time, there was not much light left in the sky. As I thought, there is a day and night here, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the sky will be completely dark. At that time, the entire Manggu Mountain will fall into a dead silence.

"Gollum!"

There was a voice in my stomach. I knew I was hungry.

Lips are also dry. No, I've got to find something to eat now.

So, I got up and walked to the right.

After a while, I noticed that there were red fruits growing in a bush in front of me. I didn't know if I could eat it, but I rushed over it as soon as I could.

The fruit had to be the size of a fist, shaped like a persimmon in the sun. While picking the fruits, I noticed that there were quite a few yellow ants biting on several of the fruits, allowing them to suck the juice inside.

Many of the fruits have gathered on the surface of many ants.

If the ants can eat the fruit, then I can eat it too.

So I picked a fruit and took a bite of it.

Not to mention, although the taste of the fruit is not very good, the juice inside is very abundant. After that, I didn't care so much, sat down next to the bush, and began to eat.

I ate seven fruits in a row! I just feel better in my body. The feeling of dry mouth is gone, and the hunger in my stomach is gone.

Licking my reddened lips, I breathed a sigh of relief.

But these fruits can't be wasted, so I picked more than 20 of them in one go, and stuffed them into the backpack. All of a sudden, the weight on my body increased dramatically.

However, now it is only a temporary filling, and the sky is about to darken. The yin power in my body is almost gone, and my perception is also declining. You have to find a place to hide temporarily.

Also, I also have to understand what kind of environment Manggut Mountain is.

So, without hesitation, I began to look for a place to rest.

Soon, the light of day was completely dark, and night came.

Luckily, I have a flashlight in my backpack, so I can see my surroundings in the dark, without the curse's eye.

After searching for a while, my eyes lit up, and I finally found a place to hide.

It was a hollow in a tree, and it looked a little tattered.

The whole tree has withered, and there is not a single leaf on the tree.

I was overjoyed, and I walked over. However, I found the Broken Mind Sword, and I was still very careful. I'm afraid something will pop out of the hollow. It would be embarrassing if there was a ghost corpse hidden inside.

Luckily, there was nothing in the hollow, just a thick layer of dust and some dry branches and leaves.

I didn't think much about it, but after I cleaned up, I was ready to stay here.

In a short time, the tree hole was cleared!

I thought about it, and just ten meters away, I hung a small copper bell with a red rope and made a "warning" preparation. That way, if a ghost suddenly approaches, I can detect it immediately.

When the time comes, whether to fight or escape, I can also have a sense of proportion in my heart for the time being, and a buffer time.

With that out of the way, I'm ready to make a fire. But after thinking about it, I still gave up, it was too conspicuous. It wouldn't be nice if the firelight attracted the ghosts.

When I had done this, I went into the hollow of the tree to rest, and ate three more fruits in one go.

The stomach is not empty after all.

But because I had slept before, I was now lying in the corner of the tree hollow, and I couldn't sleep. I'm thinking about a question. Even earlier, I was hiding behind a tree, why did those two ghosts still find me?

You know, I had a "pubic piece" in my mouth at the time, and the ghost corpse shouldn't be able to sense the anger in me.

But the ghosts did find me.

My breath was hidden, and my body was not exposed to the corpses. That said, the problem is not with me.

It's not me, it's... I suddenly thought of ———— jade plaque.
