A strange atmosphere was spreading in everyone's heart.
Henry and others just sat around the stone statue, and no one knew what they were thinking in their minds.
"Look, what's that?!" A member of the Section Nine suddenly pointed to a place not far away.
They saw a figure, with a hoe on his shoulder, walking quickly on a mountain path. The path was not discovered before.
They saw a figure with a bamboo hat on his head and a linen coat.
"Quick, go up and ask them." When the crowd saw the figure, they immediately came to their senses and ran to the path.
However, when they reached the path on the mountain, they found that the figure in the linen coat had completely disappeared. It was as if he had never appeared. Raindrops the size of beans fell onto the mountain path, and they couldn't even track the footprints.
Henry and others looked in front of them. This mountain road had been extending all the way, and there was no place to hide.
"Let's go and take a look."
Everyone had no other choice at the moment. They could only follow this path and continue on. This mountain road was something they had never seen before.
They walked for another ten minutes. Along the way, they were all trembling with fear. They were afraid of encountering the stone statue again. The stone statue was like a nightmare, which entangled in their hearts and could not be dissipated.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't slow down all the way, but they didn't see the stone figure again.
"Huh, we may have really met a ghost barrier. The figure just now was our guide who took us out. We have already walked out of the scope of the stone statue." A member of the team had a happy expression on his face.
The look on the faces of the rest of the people had also become much more relaxed. As long as they did not continue to go back and forth in the circle, they could go wherever they wanted.
This mountain road was winding up and down. In the darkness, there was no end at all.
They went down the mountain road for another 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes.
One hour!
After an entire hour, they were still walking on this mountain road, as if they would never be able to walk out of it.
"We won't be trapped again, right?" One of them said. Ever since they came to the mountain, they had been shrouded in strangeness. If anything happened now, they would think about it as a folk story.
"Look, it's that person!" The timidest woman pointed. Not far away in front of them was the person wearing a bamboo hat and a linen coat, and a hoe. He was faintly discernible in the darkness on the road ahead, and he strode forward.
"Chase him!" Henry shouted. They had no other choice.
They immediately ran after the figure, but no matter how hard they chased, they could not completely catch up with the figure. Sometimes, they were about to catch up with the figure. However, when they turned a corner of the mountain road and saw the figure again, the figure appeared in a distant place.
"Stop, we can't go after him." Henry stretched out
his hand to stop the crowd.
"Your Majesty, why aren't we chasing after him? He's a guide. He's capable of bringing us out." A member of the squad said frantically.
"He doesn't exist." Henry shook his head.
"He doesn't exist?" A few people were stunned.
The smallest woman's face instantly turned pale. "He doesn't exist, you... you... you mean, he... he's a ghost?"
Henry shook his head and said, "I don't know if he's a ghost or not, but he really doesn't exist. Look at his trousers. It's raining so heavily and he's walking on such a muddy road. Although his feet are covered with mud, his trousers are very clean. He doesn't even exist in front of us."
