"Tap, tap, tap..."
Dense footsteps sounded from deep within the mist, drawing closer and closer.
My master and I had just breathed a sigh of relief when we heard so many footsteps. We couldn't help exchanging a glance.
Then my master said:
"Hide!"
Those who came meant no good, and good people didn't come uninvited. Who knew what kind of creatures were making those dense footsteps?
And they had appeared near this forbidden zone...
I immediately nodded and followed my master as we darted into the bushes beside us.
Once again, we held our breath and hid within the brush.
Quietly waiting for the owners of those footsteps to appear.
Very soon, my master and I saw several figures suddenly emerge from the mist.
The figures were briskly walking inward from the edge of the mist...
Before I could make them out clearly, my master frowned.
"A group of demons has arrived?"
"Demons?"
I was startled.
My master gave a slight nod and remained still. I widened my eyes and watched.
Sure enough, I soon sensed demonic energy.
Then several figures appeared roughly ten meters in front of where we were hiding.
There were five men and three women, accompanied by some animals.
Though I couldn't see clearly, I could make out foxes, rats, yellow weasels, and cats.
There were more than a dozen in total...
Each of them emitted faint demonic energy.
It really was a group of demons, but what were they doing here?
Hadn't White Immortal said that Black Mother forbade these Northeast immortals from approaching this place?
Could they be demon immortals guarding the forbidden zone?
I pondered this, puzzled, and continued watching.
They moved quickly, glancing behind them from time to time, worried that something might be following them.
My master and I watched them
