Chapter 92

  "You're asking for trouble!"

  I looked at Haraso in confusion, and Haraso himself took out a bunch of keys and casually threw them onto the lawn. In an instant, the small grass seemed to have come to life, quickly gathering around the keys. Soon, the keys were surrounded, and in just a blink of an eye, the lawn returned to calmness. However, that bunch of keys had vanished without even leaving a shadow.

  "I guess this is why there's no living thing in this jungle, and possibly also the reason for some people's disappearance"

  The sound of the sickle was accompanied by a slight tremble. I stared blankly at the scene, that string of keys, it couldn't have been eaten, could it?

  "That evil spirit has already reached the point of devouring humans."

  Hala's words made all the hairs on my body stand up, and I began to doubt whether we could make it alive to the ancient castle.

  "Ling Xue'er, from now on, you follow behind me. Jian Yu, keep an eye on her and don't let her run around wildly!"

  Hala So turned around and looked at me with a completely "you're an idiot, so I have to take care of you" expression, which made me grit my teeth. As we walked along the small path, I didn't dare touch any of the surrounding plants, and the scene of the swallowed key kept replaying in my mind, feeling utterly useless, I could feel my legs slightly weakening.

  "You said that evil spirit can use plants to eat people, why bother creating this small path?"

  I looked around in doubt, if there was no this small road, the people who met the grass would have died, isn't it much more convenient?

  "You're really a pig when people call you a pig!"

  Hala So turned around and complained, but suddenly stopped.

  "Where's the sickle?"

  Hala So asked, I turned around in a panic, and behind me was empty and there was no sign of the sickle. Behind me was a vast expanse of fog, and the small road under my feet seemed to be being frantically swallowed up by the surrounding plants. I trembled and covered my mouth, wondering if the sickle wouldn't

  "Ling Xue'er! Run quickly!"

  Hala seized my hand and ran wildly forward, while the weeds behind us seemed to be deliberately driving us away, swallowing the small road at our speed. Tears flowed from my eyes as I begged you not to get into an accident.

  I don't know how long I ran, but it seemed that the wild grasses stopped moving and retreated back, the small path reappeared behind us. I stared blankly at the small path behind me, empty and desolate, without a trace of Jian's figure.

  "Hala So, will the sickle be swallowed up?"

  My voice is shaking to death, and I can barely get a sentence out.

  "No way! If the scythe is being swallowed up, it must also take time, so do you think he would watch us be swallowed up by the same danger without making a sound?"

  Hala So's eyebrows were tightly locked as he stared at the small stream blocking our path in front of us.

  Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, and I turned around vigilantly.

  "Brother! Where did you go?"

  It was actually Scythe! Scythe stepped closer and closer to us, but kept his head down. I faintly felt that something was off. Harasou walked in front of me, stretched out his hand and shielded me behind him. I could be very sure, the man in front of us absolutely wasn't Scythe, he had the smell of a corpse on him. "Scythe" slowly raised his head, I took in a cold breath.

  His face was completely covered with white maggots, constantly shuttling back and forth in the two black holes that should have been his eyes. My stomach churned as I noticed Haraso seemed to be trembling slightly.

  "Damn it!"

  Harasuo cursed in a low voice.

  "I'm going to throw up everything I ate yesterday!"

  Hala's fingertips flashed a red glow, and a flame ignited from Hala's fingertips. The monster seemed to be afraid of the firelight and slowly retreated. Just as I slightly put down my guard, the monster suddenly went mad, opening its mouth, which I didn't know if it could be called a "mouth", and pounced on us. Drops of liquid continuously fell from the monster's mouth onto the ground, instantly raising a cloud of white smoke with strong corrosive properties! If I were bitten, I dare not imagine.

  "You don't know what's good for you!"

  The flame in Harasuo's hand suddenly shot out towards the monster, and the monster struggled painfully in the flames. Before long, it was burned to ashes and dispersed into the air with the wind.

  I clutched at Haruto's sleeve with a lingering fear in my heart, yet I still worried about Kama.

  "Shall we go back and look for the sickle?"
