However, Huo Chen didn’t show his thoughts on his face. He calmly lowered his head and drank some water.

Everyone rested for 20 minutes before setting off again. They hurried in the direction that Chi Jiao pointed out.

Mount Wu was like a huge natural maze. The paths here were all curved and winding. Paths started and ended abruptly with no apparent pattern at all. Whenever they seemed to reach a dead-end, Chi Jiao would be the one to sense a new path hidden somewhere. It was very mystifying.

Chi Jiao’s sharp judgment and perceptiveness toward the aura surprised them.

It seemed that she could really sense that extraordinary aura, which was why she was drawn all the way here. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for ordinary people to move easily in this forest.

The group walked until it was close to noon. Finally, following Chi Jiao’s lead, they came to a gloomy cave.

A strange magnetic field radiated from the cave. It seemed that even sunlight could not penetrate inside. A strange aura swept out, making one’s hair stand on end.

Chi Jiao pointed at the empty cave. “The aura I sensed is here. I’m very sure.”

The corners of Beitang Lie’s lips twitched uncontrollably. “Boss, I’ve finally realized that you seem to have a special fondness for terrifying places.”

Huo Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at Beitang Lie and asked teasingly, “Are you afraid?”

“I’m afraid? Are you kidding me?!” Beitang Lie’s neck stiffened and he put on a domineering expression.

Pei Yao was amused by his expression. She couldn’t help chuckling. “I thought you were quite powerful. I didn’t expect you to be afraid of the dark?”

When Beitang Lie heard her words, he did not react as arrogantly as he did when facing Huo Chen. Instead, he looked at her pitifully. “Yes, Big Sister Yaoyao. I’m afraid. You have to protect me.”

Chi Jiao felt a headache coming on when she saw Beitang Lie’s expression. She looked at him in disdain and said, “Don’t test my patience. Otherwise, I might give you one big punch.”

When Beitang Lie saw her fist, he immediately restrained himself and shrank his neck like an obedient little lamb.

Quan Jue held Chi Jiao’s hand tightly and said, “I’ll go in first. You guys follow behind me. If anything happens, we can look after each other.”

“I want to walk behind Boss!” Beitang Lie was indeed worried that something bad would suddenly appear in this dark cave. He hurriedly rushed over and stood behind Chi Jiao.

“Mr. Huo, follow Beitang Lie. I’ll cover the rear,” said Pei Yao.

When Beitang Lie heard this, he quietly left Chi Jiao’s side and stood beside Pei Yao, choosing to stay behind with her.

Chi Jiao did not mind. The group immediately entered the cave.

They all carried flashlights with them. After entering the cave, they switched on their own flashlights.

The moment they entered the cave, a bone-chilling coldness assaulted their faces. It seemed to envelop everyone’s hearts, causing their expressions to turn grim.

The moment Quan Jue entered, he smelled a faint stench in the air.. He immediately warned Chi Jiao, “Jiaojiao, there’s a strange smell here.”
