Chapter 413: Chapter 413 - Horror In The Mountains

“Not good! This is bad! The Wang family’s kid led a dozen people into the mountains!”

A middle-aged woman ran and shouted in the village anxiously.

“What?”

“This is bad!”

Upon hearing this news, a few households immediately rushed out of their houses, including the middle-aged man with the surname Liu who had been joking with the young men at the village entrance.

“Hurry up! Immediately organize people to go into the mountains to find them! Otherwise, it’ll be too late!”

The middle-aged man called out to a group of villagers who were still confused.

Upon seeing this, someone stood up while munching on melon seeds and said, “I say, Old Liu, aren’t you getting too into character? You’re just making things up. What are you guys afraid of?”

“That’s right. They’re a bunch of kids messing around. They’ll definitely be back before dinner. There were no tigers in the mountains, so what was there to be afraid of?”

Everyone in the village knew that the middle-aged man had encountered a ghost in the mountains.

Although some people were afraid of this, most of them didn’t take it to heart. They only thought it was a fabricated story.

“B*stard! I’m not in the mood to joke around with you right now! There are really ghosts in the mountains!”

The middle-aged man was agitated.

When the rest of the people heard the word ‘ghost,’ their faces instantly fell.

In this village, they had always used ‘dirty things’ to replace the word. That word was taboo to everyone.

“Liu Chu! Don’t you f*cking try to scare me! I’ll tear your mouth off if you continue to talk nonsense!”

The person munching on melon seeds suddenly threw the melon seed in his hand to the ground, his expression ugly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“B*stards, you know that the village is not peaceful. Can you live in peace for the rest of your life without mentioning that thing?”

“The children are in danger at any moment. Are you going to wait for the bad news here?”

Liu Chu almost roared out these words.

The crowd immediately quieted down. Not long after, someone asked tentatively, “It can’t be that serious, can it?”

“Not that serious? I’ve seen that thing with my eyes in the mountains. Do you think it’s a joke?”

Liu Chu’s face was ashen.

He was usually carefree and even dared to joke about ghosts, which were taboo to everyone. However, when it came to matters that involved the safety of the villagers, he had never looked down on or neglected them.

After returning from the mountains that day, he had gone to the various families one after another to talk about that and warn them not to enter the mountains.

However, when each household heard about that thing, they all slammed their doors and chased him out.

Liu Chu had no choice but to find the group of young men and tell them about the horror.

However, he didn’t expect that not only did his story not scare them away, but it also made them take the risk to enter the mountain.

“This…”

Seeing Liu Chu’s unprecedented anger, he did not look like he was joking at all.

Many people began to waver, believing what he had said earlier.

“Hmph! Everyone, don’t be fooled by him! This guy likes to brag. Think about it. If he encountered that thing, would he still be standing here?”

The middle-aged man munching on melon seeds retorted. He had always found Liu Chu an eyesore, so of course, he would take the opportunity to ridicule him.

“Yeah, if that thing existed in the mountains and he encountered it, how could he be fine? ”

The crowd began to discuss and question Liu Chu’s words again.

“You guys!” Liu Chu pointed at the crowd, his face flushed red.

At this moment, an elegant man in a brocade robe rushed to the scene.

“What’s going on?”

Upon seeing him, everyone’s gazes focused on him and became respectful.

“Patriarch Wang!”

“Patriarch Wang, please send people to the mountain to save the children! They might be in danger at any time!” Liu Chu rushed forward and excitedly said to the Wang family patriarch.

The Wang family patriarch’s face froze. He immediately supported Liu Chu and said, “Don’t worry. Tell me what happened first.”

“I went into the mountains…” Liu Chu quickly explained the situation to the Wang family patriarch.

He was the only one who could command this bunch of stupid and stubborn villagers.

“That’s what happened. Now that the children have entered the mountain, they may encounter that thing at any time!”

Hearing Liu Yun’s words, the Wang family patriarch’s expression could not help changing drastically.

He quickly called for his guards. “Hurry up! Immediately organize people to go into the mountains and get the children back before the sun sets!”

“Yes!”

Since the Wang family patriarch had spoken, no one else voiced out their doubts or objections.

Led by the Wang family’s guards and nearly a thousand villagers, a huge group marched into the mountains.

At this very moment, the young men who had entered the mountain were deep in a messy bush.

Lin Qiye followed behind the group.

His mental power was constantly spread out, checking for any possible unusual movements in his surroundings.

“Strange. I’ve felt that I’m being watched since I entered the mountain. Could there be someone stronger than me on this mountain?”
