Arrival

Creak, creak...

The old wooden suspension bridge groaned under the shifting weight.

Yu Xing stepped onto the bridge, his figure swaying up and down with it. The thick hemp ropes at his waist were visibly frayed, dark in color and with a rough texture that pricked the skin.

As he walked forward, he lowered his head to look down.

Beneath this suspension bridge lay a valley in Guo Long Ridge, plunging quite deep visually, with the scenery at the bottom mostly obscured by tree canopies.

The night light could not penetrate it; looking only with night-vision-enabled eyes, one felt as though countless ghost shadows were lying dormant in the valley.

Yu Xing's perception of the trees in the valley was also very sluggish, facing more obstructions than anywhere else.

"Suan Yu County is not far now." Zhao Mou walked to the end of the suspension bridge, while Zhao Yijiu, who could travel through shadows, had long been waiting for them on the opposite bank.

Yu Xing asked casually, "How far is 'not far'?"

Zhao Mou explained, "Since it's a place whose name people in Dragon Head Town can hear, it definitely isn't truly isolated from the world. According to my calculations, at our strolling speed, we'll get there in another half hour."

He just didn't know if some obstacles would pop up to slow their pace once the ghost qi diffused.

"Should we pick up the pace then?" Yu Xing raised an eyebrow. "Go to the county earlier and find instance clues sooner, right?"

This mountain was too vast. If there was anything worth paying attention to, there wasn't really, and he wouldn't feel bad even if speeding up made them miss a clue similar to the shadow puppet.

He figured they would definitely be able to see things related
