Su Qingzhao turned to leave with Su Qian and Qin Lu, behind him Huo Lan pursed her lips angrily as she watched the three people leave. She was furious but there was little to nothing that she could do. In the end, she could only turn around and tell the others to wait for Su Qingzhao and Madam Su Qian to return. After all, they were here as a group and it did not make sense for them to leave without them, even though she put it nicely Yang Yiling could not help but narrow her eyes as she looked at Huo Lan.
From start to finish the girl kept mentioning Su Qingzhao which sort of rang alarm bells in her head which was why she opened her mouth and then said, " We should head towards the temple." Her words caused Huo Lan who was smiling politely to turn and look at her with a frown which Yang Yiling ignored and then continued speaking,
" They know where we are heading to, there is no need for us to stay behind and wait for them."
What Yang Yiling said made much more sense which was why the rest of the group agreed causing Huo Lan's smile to drop. She glared at Yang Yiling with hatred in her eyes but she did not say anything anymore and then turned to walk with the rest of the group.
On the other side, Qin Lu who was shivering from head to toe continued to hold Su Qian's hand as he chanted Buddhist scriptures, he was scared out of his wits after seeing what he saw when he was looking at Luo Shan and no longer wished to even open his eyes. Every small sound even that of someone taking a breath made him jump, he looked around the dark forest and then muttered, "It is coming …it's coming..something is watching us."
These words were enough to send a chill down Su Qingzhao and Su Qian's spine.
To be honest, in a place like this where they could not even see what lay past the other side, they could not help but be scared especially when Qin Lu continued to say that there was something that was coming after them from the other side.
" Dude, will you stop? You are making me jittery!" Su Qingzhao snapped as he rubbed his arm. Now because of Qin Lu even he felt like there was something wrong with this place and he was supposed to be the most gusty one out of the rest.
But Qin Lu was in no mood to listen to Su Qingzhao, he continued to stare at the exit of the forest from where they entered and did not even think twice before rushing past the tall grass leaving Su Qian and Su Qingzhao behind but he did not even step out of the forest when he screamed like he was a pig getting slaughtered causing Su Qingzhao and Su Qian to chase after him.
As Su Qingzhao pushed past the tall grass he said, "What's wrong, did you see something——" his words were silenced as he saw the shore which was clean just an hour ago covered in blood and limbs. In front of him was half eaten skull which was covered in blood, one of its eyes was missing but the other one was staring right at him.
" Arghh! It's the captain! It's the captain! I told you something was wrong! You did not listen to me! Wah!" Qin Lu stomped anxiously on the shore as he looked at the scattered human limbs and then covered his face as if trying to hold himself from looking at the things which were lying in front of him. " I am going back home! I am going back! Right. Now!" He emphasised as he ignored Qin Lu and rushed towards the motorboat.
" Young master Qin, wait for a minute!" Su Qingzhao shouted, he was scared out of his wits as well. He glanced at the scattered limbs, half-eaten torsos and many other things which were piled on the shore and gagged when his eyes fell on a pile of human intestines which were lying on the side in a pool of blood.
He walked past the things which were scattered on the shore before rushing towards Qin Lu who was trying to turn the motorboat on with a wild look in his eyes.
" Young master Qin," Su Qingzhao tentatively called to Qin Lu who rushed to look at him and then cried, "It is not turning on! It is not turning on!"
Su Qingzhao trembled as soon as he heard Qin Lu's words, it was as if someone had clutched his heart with their ice-cold hands and then gave it a squeeze. He immediately climbed up on the motorboat and then pushed Qin Lu aside as he tried to switch the motorboat on but no matter what he did nothing happened causing a thin sheen of sweat to form on his forehead.
Now what? What were they supposed to do?
"Rong Si!" Just as Su Qingzhao was wondering about what was going on she heard his aunt's cry which made him shudder as he raised his head and look at Su Qian who was looking around the shore as if she was searching for someone.
" Rong Si! Where are you?" Su Qian looked around the shore, she was sure that she had left Rong Si right here but now Rong Si was gone and instead of her friend, a pile of human bodies were scattered all over the place. Her entire body was trembling as she looked at the shore of the island which was covered with pieces of blood and flesh, while feeling quite faint.
If something happened to Rong Si what was she going to reply to CEO Xu?
" Aunt!" Su Qingzhao came running towards Su Qian who was trembling and held her by her shoulders and said, "It's all right, we …we will find Aunt Rong, don't worry. She must have rushed towards the path which leads to the Temple of Jing, we just need to follow that path."
