Chapter 1465

"Fortunately we are fine!"

Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was still a little trance in his eyes.

After breaking through the villagers' pursuit and blockade.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan ran all the way into the deep forest.

Behind.

The angry villagers chased after them with sharp knives.

But the two were very fast.

Huo Jilin speculated that the family of the proprietress of Biquan Inn might have been ravaged by the villagers.

When they found a hidden place in the forest to rest for a while.

Wang Kaixuan analyzed that the villagers were afraid of some unknown creatures lurking in the forest.

Therefore, they did not dare to pursue them deeply.

Sitting cross-legged on a heavy tree.

Huo Jilin quietly stared at the graceful moonlight in front of him, which was sprinkled on the clear mirror-like lake.

A breeze blew.

Bringing bursts of freshness.

Wang Kaixuan also sat on another big tree next to Huo Jilin.

Gritted his teeth and said.

"This incident was so thrilling! If it weren't for the mysterious man in black who stepped forward."

"I'm afraid we would have fallen into the hands of the villagers."

Huo Jilin looked at the lake in front of him.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He said calmly.

"This matter is not over yet."

"We must find the family of the proprietress of Biquan Inn."

"The villagers attacked them."

"It was definitely not an impulse."

Wang Kaixuan nodded.

His expression was solemn.

"That's right! The proprietress of Biquan Inn has always taken care of us."

"Now she and her family are in such a predicament."

"We can't just sit back and watch."

The two remained silent for a moment.

At the same time, they began to think about the next move.

Behind them was the angry pursuit of the villagers.

And in front was an unknown place.

Suddenly.

A faint sound of footsteps came.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan immediately became alert.

They immediately retracted their bodies.

Quickly hid in the woods.

After a while.

A figure walked out of the woods.

This was a young but pale woman.

She was wearing a light blue dress.

It looked particularly quiet under the moonlight.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other.

A sense of doubt surged in their hearts.

They didn't expect to meet a strange woman in this remote mountain forest.

The woman stopped.

After scanning the surroundings.

She whispered.

"Are you from Biquan Inn?"

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other.

Let down their guard a little.

Huo Jilin nodded.

"That's right."

"We are guests of Biquan Inn."

"Who are you?"

The woman smiled slightly.

She walked up to them and said.

"My name is Hongrui."

"I'm a close friend of the proprietress of the Biquan Inn."

"I heard that you wanted to help the proprietress when you were escaping from the villagers."

Hearing this.

Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

And exchanged a look of affirmation with each other.

Wang Kaixuan asked Hongrui.

"Do you know why the proprietress of the Biquan Inn and her family were hunted by the villagers? What happened?"

Hongrui's expression became sad.

She said helplessly.

"The village of Jiangang has been deeply affected by the dark power."

"Strange things have happened repeatedly in previous years."

"Recently, due to the surge of some incredible power."

"The villagers' fear and mania have become more serious."

"The family of the proprietress of the Biquan Inn was attacked by the villagers."

"They were forced to leave the inn for a while."

Huo Jilin frowned.

He suddenly remembered some things that the proprietress of the Biquan Inn had mentioned.

said with sudden enlightenment.

"There really is some unknown creature here! The villagers are afraid of it."

"That's why they didn't pursue them further."

Wang Kaixuan also understood.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"In that case."

"We can use this factor to help the proprietress of Biquan Inn escape from here."

"Miss Hongrui."

"Please lead us to find them!"

Hongrui nodded.

Knowing that they were determined.

She guided Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan through the forest.

Heading towards Biquan Inn.

While passing through the dense woods.

Hongrui told the two.

While the villagers were chasing them.

She had heard some deep roars coming from a distance.

The sound was strange and terrifying.

It made people's backs cold.

"What was that sound?"

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help asking.

Hongrui said thoughtfully.

"Some older villagers have rumored that there is an unknown creature hiding deep in the mountains and forests."

"And believe that this is a demon that brings bad luck and nightmares. "

"They are deeply afraid of this."

"And thus formed a strong desire to pursue the family of the proprietress of Biquan Inn."

Huo Jilin thought silently for a moment.

Said in a firm tone.

"We can't let such lies continue to hurt innocent people."

"We must uncover the truth."

"And protect the proprietress and others."

Hongrui smiled and nodded.

"I understand your determination."

"I have an agreement with the proprietress."

"No matter what happens."

"We will protect each other. "

The three continued to move forward.

They were getting closer and closer to the direction of Biquan Inn.

They tried to keep their pace cautious.

Try to minimize contact with other villagers.

Finally.

They came to an open space.

In the center of the open space.

A huge altar was erected.

A variety of dilapidated statues and offerings were placed around.

Hong Rui pointed to the altar and said.

"This is where the villagers hold ceremonies and pray for blessings."

"It is said that these offerings can suppress the evil spirits in the mountains and forests."

"In the early years."

"I have heard similar stories from my elders."

Huo Jilin looked around.

And did not notice anything unusual.

He turned to Hong Rui and Wang Kaixuan and said.

"Perhaps these stories are just made up by the villagers to explain those horrible phenomena to themselves."

"We must find the truth."

Wang Kaixuan nodded in agreement.

And after thinking for a moment, he suggested.

"We can start exploring near the altar. "

"Maybe we can find some clues."

The three approached the altar carefully.

The gloomy atmosphere around them made them feel uneasy.

During the search.

They found a secret passage on the edge of the altar.

It seemed to lead to the depths of the forest.

"Maybe the truth is in this passage."

Huo Jilin said with courage.

Huo Jilin reached out and touched the wall of the passage.

Felt a damp and cool feeling.

He looked at Hong Rui and Wang Kaixuan with determination.

The three of them nodded in tacit understanding.

Decided to explore the depths of the passage.

After entering the passage.

They felt that the sun and freedom were getting farther and farther away from them.

The passage was getting lower and lower.

The surrounding atmosphere became more oppressive and gloomy.

The deep roar was clearer and more definite at this time.

As if they were imprisoned.

"Where is this place? "

Wang Kaixuan asked in a low voice.

Hongrui bit her lip.

There was a hint of uneasiness in her expression.

"I heard that this passage is connected to an ancient cave."

"It is very likely that the truth will be discovered there."

As they walked deeper and deeper,

the three began to notice some ancient runes and patterns engraved on the wall.

These runes exuded a mysterious glow.

As if they were guarding this forgotten place.
