Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Yun Qin got rid of the bewitching ghosts, the thick fog around them faded a lot. Yun Qin also realized that everyone was almost at the bottom of the valley.

Yun Qin was already leading the way when Fatty, who was at the back, quickly ran up to her with Ma Yue. When he got closer to Yun Qin, he said with difficulty, “Master Yun, one of the ghosts grabbed him.”

Ever since he saw Yun Qin’s ability, Fatty became respectful toward her. He no longer acted as frivolous as before.

Yun Qin tilted her head and took a glance. As expected, she saw Ma Yue’s right arm limp by his side, and a mass of evil energy gathered inside his arm.

“It’s nothing. The ghost sucked away some of his vitality and some evil energy entered his body. Let’s head over to the group first,” Yun Qin said lightly.

After walking five or six minutes, they finally saw the other four people who were still waiting in place.

The Luo siblings still had cold expressions on their faces, as if Fatty and Ma Yue had nothing to do with them. As for Hu Min, when she saw Yun Qin, her tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and she heaved a sigh of relief.

The one most anxious was Zhuang Sen. After seeing all three return unharmed, he hammered his palm and finally relaxed. He cursed, “Damn!”

When Fatty saw his friend, he walked to him with a mournful expression and said, “Bro, I almost died. It was terrifying.”

Zhuang Sen then looked at Yun Qin and asked, “What happened? Was it a ghost?”

Yun Qin replied with a “Yes” and squatted down. She rolled up Ma Yue’s right sleeve and saw a black handprint on his arm.

Everyone gathered around in surprise. They were speechless when they saw the handprint.

Yun Qin then explained, “They were bewitching ghosts. They hid in the fog and used their abilities to distort people’s senses. Then they tricked them to the edge of the cliff and wanted to kill them.”

The victim Ma Yue used his intact left hand to hammer his leg and said, “Despite all the preventative measures, I was still caught off guard and fell into the trap. Thank god Master Yun was there.”

Fatty also echoed, “Yeah, Master Yun was amazing. She took care of those damn things like it was a piece of cake.”

Hearing everyone’s praises, Yun Qin remained unmoved. After covering Ma Yue’s arm with her palm, she began to absorb the evil energy that invaded his body.

By the time Ma Yue came back to his senses, Yun Qin already absorbed all the evil energy from his arm. She stood up and said, “Rest for a bit and recover your strength.”

Looking down, Ma Yue was amazed to see that the black handprint on his arm disappeared.

There was not much fog left and since they were almost at the bottom of the valley, they decided to go down the mountain first before taking a break.

When the group slowly descended to the bottom of the valley, the moon was already high in the sky. It was past eleven o’clock at night. They chose a relatively flat grassland, and Ma Yue looked at his map before saying, “There is still some distance before we reach the entrance of the secondary tomb. Everyone, rest for a bit before we head in.”

After going through what they experienced, everyone was tired, especially Fatty who had to run while being scared senseless. His legs were so weak that he could not walk anymore. Thus, they put down their luggage, set up tents, pulled out their pots, and prepared to rest.

Yun Qin sat down and watched Hu Min and Zhuang Sen heat up a can over the fire. They then heated up some water and poured it into the pot. She asked, “How did you guys meet?”

This was the first time Yun Qin asked a question since she joined the team. Hu Min looked up at her and replied with a smile, “We met during a grave robbing escapade.”

No wonder they were colleagues. So that was how they met. Yun Qin nodded and took a can from Hu Min.

Zhuang Sen opened a bottle of water and added, “My parents were friends with her parents.”

Hearing him mention her parents, Hu Min’s eyes dimmed. She looked at Yun Qin as if she thought of something.

Yun Qin ate the food in the can by herself and did not reply. She raised her head and glanced at the sky above Hu Min’s head. The black forest was just ahead, not too far from here.

Originally, they planned to travel through the night. However, Ma Yue saw that everyone was tired and since his arm did not recover yet, he had no choice but to let everyone rest for a night before moving on.

After discussing, everyone agreed to rotate through a one-hour night guard shift. Since there were seven people, Ma Yue would take the first shift, Fatty would take the second shift Zhuang Sen would take the third shift, Yun Qin and Hu Min would take the fourth shift, Luo Hui and Luo Ke would take the final shift.

Hu Min seemed to be very satisfied with this arrangement and she urged everyone to go to sleep.

After Yun Qin laid out her sleeping bag, she lay down beside the fire.

Ma Yue, who took the first shift, sat beside the fire. He looked at Yun Qin who wrapped her sleeping bag tightly around her body with only her head exposed and asked, “Why do you sleep with your face covered? Isn’t that uncomfortable?”

Yun Qin stared at the burning bonfire while her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a mountain. She was worried about the tomb in Black Bear Ridge, so she was in no mood to chat with Ma Yue.. She said indifferently, “It’s none of your business.”
