Chapter 365: The Terrifying Echo

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The Terrifying Echo

The atmosphere had already relaxed, when Chuyi threw in a time bomb.

"We are about to face another trial soon."

What the heck, there’s more?

The rest of the group tensed up upon hearing this.

Song Yi, however, was comparatively calm and quickly asked him what the difficulty was.

"Five Ghost Mound, where you can hear terrifying sounds..."

Wow, it’s getting more and more supernatural.

Just hearing the name, you can tell it’s not a pleasant place.

"It’s just ahead."

Chuyi pointed ahead to a rather strange place.

In this valley, the area ahead suddenly widened, like a hand thrust forward.

There were exactly five protruding small rocks, not very large, but quite conspicuous.

Even with the heavy snow, they weren’t covered, and the area around them seemed much cleaner.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t believe in all that messy superstition, but she always held a respectful attitude towards such things.

The situation here indeed looked somewhat pitiful.

People nearby, having heard this, even started swallowing their saliva.

Moreover, it was colder here than the surrounding areas.

All in all, there was an indescribable eeriness.

"We have to go in here!"

Chuyi pointed to the middle rock, his eyes filled with a devout expression.

"Are you sure? I feel something strange about this."

Lu Er was right beside him, equally afraid.

"Of course."

As Chuyi spoke, he kneeled down.

"No offense intended, please be understanding."

Saying this, he seriously kowtowed.

Chuliu followed his brother’s grand gesture, bowing repeatedly.

Jhiang Yuan, hearing rustling from behind, noticed that half of the people, following their example, were bowing repeatedly as well.

"Later, there will be strange sounds, take a piece of cloth from your clothes and stuff your ears tightly, it must be very firm.

During it, no matter what happens, do not turn back, if someone talks to you, do not respond, just keep moving forward."

"Tsk, playing tricks."

Zhang Kaiyang clearly didn’t believe it and Song Yi shot him a look, causing him to shut his mouth instantly.

Chuyi ignored him, there was no time left.

"Believe it or not, just don’t come looking for me after you get outside.

Oh, I forgot, if something happens to you, you won’t even have the chance to come find me."

Zhang Kaiyang was naturally defiant, rolling his eyes dramatically and muttering under his breath.

He didn’t have time to argue with this whippersnapper now, but his heart was filled with unrest.

He didn’t know why Song Yi trusted him so much; it didn’t look like anything good at all.

The others, however, didn’t think so; the precaution about not turning back seemed pretty good.

This time, Jhiang Yuan was walking at the back, her family going directly into the space.

Not taking any risks, the main strategy was to secure victory through stability.

However, what she hadn’t expected was that Song Yi was also near her.

"Why aren’t you moving? Chuyi and Chuliu have already set off."

"I’m staying with you."

"I don’t need your company, I can manage on my own."

"That’s not okay..."

Just now, he had been terrified; how could he make a mistake now.

"But if you don’t go, the others won’t dare to move."

As they were talking, Lu Er and Xiao Ma came over.

"Brother Song, aren’t we going?"

"Yes, you go first, I’ll stay at the back. Don’t look back at any cost, follow these two kids closely, and don’t fall behind."

The two of them, not quite understanding his meaning, still did as they were told.

It was apparent they were nervous, fearing that if Song Yi took off running, they would be in real trouble.

They indeed kept looking back every few steps, yet also worried about not being able to keep up if Chuyi walked too far ahead.

Where there was one person, there would be a second.

Soon, one after another, everyone started walking forward.

Xiao Ling repeatedly instructed, fearing that Jingjing would commit some taboo.

Finally, Jhiang Yuan couldn’t stand it anymore and told her to place her daughter in front of herself.

Covering her ears, though it made walking more cumbersome, it ensured the child wouldn’t inadvertently look back.

She didn’t know what they might encounter by looking back, but since Chuyi had mentioned it, it must be a local custom to be heeded.

In the end, it was just their group left.

Chuyi and Chuliu had already walked far ahead, and no one looked back.

Song Yi, feeling responsible, turned away as Jhiang Yuan got everyone inside, then quickly left herself.

Now, pressed for time, she dared not linger.

The two of them, also swiftly, plugged their ears and began walking forward.

Initially, Jhiang Yuan didn’t feel anything amiss and inwardly mocked them for overreacting.

However, as she saw people ahead beginning to cover their ears, she realized that the situation was certainly not as simple as it seemed.

The duo also moved forward steadily. It was just a distance of three hundred meters, but the external noise suddenly intensified.

It resembled various electromagnetic buzzing sounds, along with the grating screech of microphones colliding.

She too couldn’t help but block her ears with her hands.

She felt it was unbelievable, her mind in turmoil.

All the events of her past life, Xia Chaoyang, Mrs. Xia, Bai Mengmeng’s deceiving face, flashed by one after another.

There was also her being tortured, Xiao Nuan freezing to death, her rebirth, shopping, extreme heat, extreme cold, torrential rain, blizzards, avalanches, fleeing for her life—each and every instance rushed through her mind like a movie, causing her discomfort.

Suddenly, she saw Song Yi and Little One, unsure of what he was saying, his mouth opening and closing.

Jhiang Yuan shook her head and forcefully bit her tongue.

Her consciousness snapped back immediately. The screeching noise was still there.

And the closer she got to the center, the louder the noises became.

Strange, where was Song Yi?

He was just next to her a moment ago, Jhiang Yuan glanced to the right with the corner of her eye.

Oh dear, she hadn’t noticed earlier—how did the guy end up lying on the ground?

She dared not turn back, nor retreat.

This place was so eerie, who knew if there really was something amiss?

Having no choice, she stepped sideways to pull Song Yi up from the ground.

This shouldn’t count as breaking the rules, right? She didn’t have time to turn back nor retreat.

Suddenly, her wrist was fiercely grasped.

The piercing pain, this guy, was he crazed?

At that moment, Song Yi also came to his senses, immediately easing his grip and dared not speak.

The two hurriedly walked onward, having already strayed from the main group.

But Song Yi’s hand did not let go of hers.

The figures ahead were getting closer, finally passing the small rocky knoll.

Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly noticed more people had fallen.

The sound reached an unbearable level; her mere covering of the ears was not helping.

She recalled what Song Yi had said earlier about encountering a blast—cover the ears but also need to open the mouth.

She tried doing so, uncertain of its effectiveness.

Suddenly, someone from ahead grabbed her collar, and she stumbled forward.
