"You really aren't afraid?" Hua Yunfei raised a brow as he glanced at the Silver-Yellow Stone by his feet.
"N-No, I'm not afraid!" said the Silver-Yellow Stone. Even though its voice trembled, it refused to admit it.
Stone Bro feared nothing!
"Then keep up!"
Hua Yunfei quickened his pace and followed the Eerie Ghostly Figure ahead.
"R-Run..."
The Eerie Ghostly Figure swayed forward like a ghost, endlessly repeating the same words.
It seemed to be instinct, yet also an obsession. Even after its soul had been eroded by the eerie force, it still had not forgotten.
As they followed the Eerie Ghostly Figure deeper and deeper, Hua Yunfei's ears suddenly twitched, as if he had heard something.
He lowered his head to look at the Silver-Yellow Stone. "Did you hear anything?"
The Silver-Yellow Stone looked around. "Did I? Don't tell me you're so scared you're hearing things?"
Hua Yunfei shook his head and said with certainty, "It's crying. Someone is crying—a woman!"
Faintly, a woman's sobs drifted into his ears. They came and went, unclear and indistinct, but Hua Yunfei was certain he had not misheard.
"Damn it, don't scare me like that."
The Silver-Yellow Stone was starting to panic. There was not even a human shadow in this Eerie Blood Mountain. How could someone be crying?
Could it be haunted?
Whoosh... whoosh...
Suddenly, a gust of sinister wind swept past.
"Ah!!"
The Silver-Yellow Stone screamed and shot onto Hua Yunfei's shoulder at light speed, burrowing into his hair.
"And you said you weren't afraid," Hua Yunfei said.
"I... I'm just a little cold. You misunderstood." The Silver-Yellow Stone gritted its teeth, refusing to admit its fear even if beaten to death.
Hua Yunfei could not be bothered with the Silver-Yellow Stone. He followed the Eerie Ghostly Figure farther into
