As the piercing screams continued, the smoke in front of them gradually dissipated, and the wind blew smoothly through, clearing the smoke. The village before their eyes beca more and more blurred, unable to sustain itself, gradually disappearing, scattered in the wind.
At the sa mont that the village disappeared, six figures appeared in Little Taotie’s line of sight.
Without the cover of farmhouses, they were exposed to the sunlight. As the Realm disappeared, the sunlight directly hit them, and they let out sharp cries of agony.
Sunlight shone on them, creating burning holes that grew bigger and more nurous on their bodies. If this continued, they could turn to ashes at any mont.
The six figures scrambled desperately across the barren ground, searching for holes to crawl into.
This was truly an instance of wanting to find a crack in the earth to disappear into.
A Hungry Ghost found a crack first, and with a quick move, it darted in. The five figures chased after it and followed, but even after entering the crack, they were already in a terrible state, continuously letting out cries of agony that were utterly horrifying.
"Ah—ahhhhh—"
Feng Qi’s ears drooped down, covering his ear holes, complaining, "So noisy!"
Little Taotie covered his ears tightly with his small hands, feeling his eardrums almost pierced by the shrill screams.
Yuanyuan and Jiang Si did not have this trouble; they could neither see nor hear.
Yuanyuan asked worriedly, "What’s wrong, is there a very loud noise?"
Little Taotie, with his ears covered, didn’t hear Yuanyuan’s question amidst the sharp screams outside.
Yuanyuan grew even more worried, and seeing Yuanyuan in dismay, Jiang Si, on the verge of tears, kindly advised her, "Maybe it’s sounds we can’t hear, sounds made by Ghosts, it’s probably just very noisy, nothing serious."
"How do you know it’s nothing serious?"
Jiang Si opened his mouth but couldn’t answer.
Yuanyuan glared at him fiercely, indicating a desire to vent anger.
Jiang Si sighed, "I’ll call the boss, I’ll try to see if I can get through this ti."
Yuanyuan wanted to speak out in anger but fell silent upon hearing this.
Jiang Si felt slightly relieved.
Usually, Yuanyuan seed to be a quiet, cute girl with her mouth full of food, blocking it quietly. That was definitely an illusion; look at her now, how unforgiving she can be!
Jiang Si dialed the phone, fearing that it might once again be intercepted by the Hungry Ghost, and in this heart-pounding wait, the call got connected. The voice of the boss ca through with its profoundly reassuring tone, "Hello."
Even Jiang Si, a grown man, almost couldn’t hold back his tears. It was so touching, how could the boss’s voice be so full of a sense of security?
As if countless sleepless, dark nights were suddenly illuminated by a warm, reassuring voice.
At this mont, Shen Cang couldn’t understand Jiang Si’s complex and inexplicably emotional feelings; he only knew that after saying hello several tis, Jiang Si hadn’t responded.
Shen Cang said impatiently, "If you don’t speak soon, I’m hanging up."
"No, please don’t!"
Because Shen Cang’s impatient voice was loud, Yuanyuan heard it and urgently snatched the phone, "Don’t hang up! Boss, it’s !"
"Not Jiang Si?"
"He’s zoning out, not knowing what kind of ailnt he’s having! Boss, we’re in trouble here, several millennia-old Ghosts are appearing, and there are Ghosts that devour living beings, please co save us!"
"How can that be... several of them?"
"Yes, it’s absolutely true!"
