Chapter 2053: Chapter 2053: Something’s Wrong
Fortunately, everyone had gained some experience in dealing with the Evil Spirit Generals, and even when facing three or four at the same time, they were not nervous, because Qin Yu could draw away one or two Evil Spirit Generals at any time.
It must be said that as the Young Master, Yang Hui maintained his composure very well. Even as the team moved further away from the burial ground he had chosen for Qin Yu and Wei Dong, he remained very calm.
Zhu Chenguang, on the other hand, was a bit restless, "Young Master, if we keep on this path, our plan will be ruined. Should I suggest a change of route?"
"Fool, haven’t you noticed that Yang Xiong has been watching me all the time? If I dare to make any move, he will definitely realize something is wrong. We’ll let nature take its course, and I can’t believe I won’t be able to lead them there."
"But if we let nature take its course, I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach the ambush site today," Zhu Chenguang said with a face full of frustration.
"Chenguang, that’s why I’m the Young Master, and you can only follow me. Look, what is this?" Yang Hui took out a small bag of powder.
Zhu Chenguang’s eyes widened, this... this was Corpse Fragrance Powder! The scent of Corpse Fragrance Powder was the Evil Spirits’ favorite!
Zhu Chenguang looked back and along the road, at intersections, he faintly saw the Corpse Fragrance Powder! Zhu Chenguang suddenly realized, "What a natural approach! Young Master, you’ve convinced me!"
Yang Hui smiled faintly, then tried his best to keep a low profile, making sure that no one could sense his presence.
The group continued onward, the road ahead growing increasingly wider, the terrain suitable for an ambush becoming less frequent! Moreover, the number of Evil Spirit Generals was increasing!
Qin Yu frowned, "Wei Dong, it’s not convenient to draw out the monsters now; the sounds of a scuffle could attract the attention of other Evil Spirit Generals. I suggest we pick a new route."
As he spoke, Qin Yu discretely glanced at Yang Hui but noticed that Yang Hui was exceedingly calm, silent, with a very placid expression on his face.
For some reason, the calmer Yang Hui was, the more unsettled Qin Yu felt.
"Choose a new path? How should we choose? It’s my first time here; I’m not familiar with the routes. We can’t just turn back the way we came, can we?" Wei Dong said with a look of difficulty.
Qin Yu smiled faintly, "Among us, the Young Master is the most familiar with the outer area. Let’s have the Young Master help us choose a route."
Qin Yu deliberately said this to see what tricks Yang Hui could play.
Unfortunately, Yang Hui remained exceptionally composed, "I have already cleared the outer area. The closer you get to the entrance of the core area, the more dangerous it becomes. So, no matter which path we choose, it won’t be more dangerous than the current one."
Yang Hui’s words were as good as saying nothing, and Qin Yu felt quite frustrated. Could it be that he was being overly cautious?
Could it be that Yang Hui hadn’t been using any tricks at all?
"Since the Young Master has said so, let’s just pick any path!" Qin Yu shrugged indifferently.
"Great! Then we’ll just pick a path and go!" Wei Dong randomly chose a path and started down it.
The rest followed Wei Dong’s steps, and the corner of Yang Hui’s mouth curled into an attractive arc, thinking that they would soon obediently follow his lead.
No sooner had they entered the fork in the road, Wei Dong suddenly stopped, gesturing for silence with a grave face.
Everyone was curious as to what was wrong with Wei Dong. Qin Yu pricked up his ears and sensed something—swarms of Evil Spirits were moving towards them from afar!
"Brothers! Something seems off with the Evil Spirits on this fork! They’re moving in large numbers; let’s take another turn." Without hesitation, Wei Dong turned around and left.
A few of Yang Hui’s followers didn’t quite believe Wei Dong’s words and listened closely from the ground. Their complexions turned extremely ugly!
