Dense clusters of evil spirits had appeared around us. It looked like they had already surrounded the village.
Now, we had to get out.
"Pan Ling, look around. Is there any way out?"
I spoke in a low voice.
Pan Ling looked around and immediately shook her head.
"No. This is a mountain gully to begin with.
"The only ways out are the Thread of Sky ahead and the slope we came down from.

"First, expose ourselves and fight our way out.
"Second, since they haven't discovered us yet, use the Yang-Suppressing Talismans to hide and wait for the right time."
After Mao Jing laid out the two choices, Zhang Yuchen was the first to speak.

But I fell silent for a moment. Zhang Yuchen did have a point.
There was a horde of ghosts ahead and a corpse monster behind us.
Taking the initiative to expose ourselves and fight our way out truly wasn't a
