Chapter 63: Black Bear’s Footprints
Yun Qin couldn’t help but laugh. She rubbed their heads to comfort them and then reached out to suck the evil energy from the two little hidden ghosts.
Seeing that the two hidden ghosts were becoming more and more transparent, Yun Qin finally stopped. Although the two little fellows felt a little uncomfortable, they were satisfied with their new state and floated around.
After stuffing all the ghosts into the incense box and wrapping them up, Yun Qin followed the description the two little ghosts gave her and set off to find the black furball’s home.
Along the way, Yun Qin could only rely on the surrounding terrain that was gradually becoming lower and lower to determine her position.
After walking for about two hours, a dense, pitch-black forest appeared in front of Yun Qin.
It seemed that this was the place the two little ones mentioned. Once she entered this place, she would be in the hidden ghosts’ territory. Naturally, the clansmen would come to meet her.
However, Yun Qin discovered that after stepping into this rather gloomy forest, she smelled a strange smell in the air.
It was a bit stinky and also a bit fishy.
Yun Qin frowned, rubbed her nose, and forcefully endured this uncomfortable smell. Then, she released her evil energy to envelop her body and released the little ghosts.
No wonder the hidden ghost clan chose this place as their habitat. Even in the daytime, the dense leaves above the forest made it impossible for sunlight to enter. It was very suitable for ghosts to live.
Yun Qin returned the evil energy that she sucked out back to the two little hidden ghosts, and they looked very happy. They blinked their eyes and then she heard the black furball say, “They want more.”
Yun Qin kindly gave them some more evil energy. The two green furballs visibly grew bigger.
The little hidden ghosts were extremely excited about their sudden growth. They played together in a silly manner.
There was still business to attend to so Yun Qin reminded them, “You two will lead the way.”
The two little hidden ghosts nodded. Their grass-green fur looked very inconspicuous in the forest. If one did not look carefully, one would think that they were a patch of grass.
Yun Qin followed the two little furballs into the depths of the forest. She was also sincerely happy for the black furball.
Hidden ghosts were the most human-like of all ghosts. Many of their emotions were similar to human emotions, such as love, hatred, gratitude, and so on.
Although the hidden ghosts clan that they found were not the ones that the black furball knew before, they were still black furball’s “compatriots”, so they could provide warmth and protection.
Perhaps it was because the black furball would soon meet its compatriots, it seemed to be in a good mood and was taking the initiative to talk more.
“What is this?” The black furball approached a red, tender fruit and asked while sniffing it.
“Uh, this is a fruit that snakes eat. Other creatures will be poisoned to death if they eat it.”
As Yun Qin explained, she saw the black furball open its mouth to take the fruit, but the fruit passed through its body, she could not help but laugh. “Ghosts can’t eat it.”
When they passed by a stream, the black furball asked again, “What is this?”
Yun Qin got closer and realized that something was under its body.
Seeing Yun Qin come over, the black furball stretched out its small furry claws from under its body and gestured for her to see.
At this moment, Yun Qin realized that under the black furball’s body was a footprint that was about the same size as the hidden ghost.
An oval palm print, along with circular marks left by four joints, this footprint was large and deep, as if a large monster left it.
When Yun Qin saw this, her expression immediately changed.
She almost forgot that this place was Black Bear Ridge, not some vacation resort. Other than endless strange events that occured here, there was also one terrifying creature: the black bear.
A ferocious beast like the black bear would weigh at least 200 kilograms when it matured. That was equal to four Yun Qin. Not only could it fight tigers, but it also liked to track its prey.
Currently, black bears were in a season when food was scarce. If Yun Qin encountered a hungry black bear, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“This is…a black bear.” Yun Qin’s expression was solemn. She was about to ask the black furball to warn the two little hidden ghosts to go around the footprints when she realized that there were no traces of the two hidden ghosts.
Where did they run off to?
Yun Qin was a little puzzled. Even when she used her evil energy to probe, she still couldn’t detect the two little fellows.
“Why did they suddenly hide…did you see where they went?” Yun Qin lowered her head and asked the black furball. The black-fur hidden ghost was also puzzled and looked at her blankly with its small eyes.
Yun Qin thought maybe they ran off somewhere to play, so she sighed and decided to leave this place where she found traces of black bears.
However, looking around, she could no longer identify the direction she came from.
