"Is this the cave?"
The group moved quickly. Under Jiang Qiao's lead, they soon found the cave beneath a cliff.
The cliff was deep.
Heavy miasma lingered around it.
There was clearly a forest above, but starting from the middle of the cliff, everything became barren. Not a blade of grass grew there. Only exposed rock, weathered gravel, and the occasional broken white bone could be seen.
"There's actually a place like this in Ten Thousand Ghost Forest."
"I've never been here before."
Someone curiously examined the surroundings, but the fog was thick, and visibility was poor. There was only so much they could see.
"I've passed by here from the top of the cliff twice."
"But I've never come down."
"Still, judging from all the bones around us, quite a few people must have visited before."
A slender woman spoke.
"They all died."
"And it doesn't look like they died from falling. That shows how dangerous this place is." Another young man carefully examined the bones on the ground and discovered several suspicious marks on them.
For example, bite marks.
For example, messy vertical scratches that looked as though they had been made by some sharp object.
And then there was...
A set of finger marks on one skull.
Those fingers were extremely thick, completely unlike a human's.
"Evil spirits, huh?"
"If there were no evil spirits, would this place still be called Ten Thousand Ghost Forest?"
The slender woman smiled and turned toward Jiang Qiao. "Sir, you dared to come down the cliff alone earlier, and you even dared to enter the cave. That's truly impressive."
This woman.
And that young man.
Were a cut above the others in strength, so they had naturally become the new leaders of the eighty-plus adventurers.
Their conversation at this moment.
Actually
