Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1238 The Bell and the Chime

Everyone paused for a moment.

"Not good!" Zhang Heng's expression changed slightly. He ran his hands over his eyes as if he had seen something, and his face showed endless fear.

Darkness is coming!

Aside from the fixed lodgings, the darkness of Silent Hill carries endless terror!

Zhang Heng's appearance caused everyone else, including Zhang Ke, to visibly panic.

"Don't rush!" Ye Qing took a deep breath and said, "Although there are dangers tonight, they are relative. Long Rui and I were able to enter Verati City and come out safely before, which means that not every place is dangerous tonight. Let's not panic!"

"That's right, what's the panic? Even if the sky falls, I, the Emperor, will hold it up!" the big yellow dog chimed in.

Ye Qing looked at the big yellow dog and said, "I'll have to leave the task of finding directions to you from now on. My mental energy is being suppressed and I can only detect a distance of about two or three kilometers with my mental energy in this evil aura at night!"

Just like in Verratti, this detection range is of little use at night here.

In addition, humans are not good at finding their way in the dark, so at this time, they can only rely on the big yellow dog!

"Don't worry, with me here, naturally..." The big yellow dog hadn't finished speaking!

"clang!"

Suddenly, the sound of bells rang out in the distance.

The moment the bell rang, Ye Qing and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Ye Qing felt dizzy; the sound of the bell seemed to have a disorienting effect on his mind.

"Let's go, continue towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, something's wrong with this bell sound!" said the big yellow dog.

The others nodded in agreement, and they quickly set off.

Led by the big yellow dog, they continued their journey through the darkness.

Zhang Heng used his special ability to shield the auras of the crowd, which reassured them somewhat.

"clang!"

But as they walked, the bell tolled closer and closer, accompanied by a constant ringing sound like bells, each ring making them feel dizzy.

Ye Qing was alright, after all, he possessed the characteristic of spiritual power. The others were also at a higher level, and although they were also somewhat drowsy, they could still bear it!

However, Zhang Heng and Sun Jie were finding it difficult to cope.

"clang!"

"Jingle Bell!"

As they walked, the sound grew closer and closer; it was clearly aimed at them.

Later, Zhang Heng and Sun Jie were even completely controlled by the voice, and they fell into a coma.

Zhang Ke and Long Rui quickly carried the two of them on their backs!

Ye Qing followed beside the big yellow dog, saying as they walked, "Something's not right!"

"What do you mean?" the big yellow dog asked.

“We’ve traveled at least twenty kilometers along the way, but this ringing has been following us the whole time, and it’s getting closer and closer. Clearly, we’re being watched!”

“However, the entire Silent Hill has been cut into one space after another!” Ye Qing said, “A space of twenty kilometers in radius is too large. Even the diameter of Mirror Lake is not necessarily that big, and Mirror Lake is inhabited by a super powerhouse like Master Yu!”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" the big yellow dog said, clearly flustered!

“What I mean is…” Ye Qing said, “The person following us might not be a creature from this space, but a human! At this distance, we may have crossed two separated spaces, but this person has been able to follow us, so it’s highly likely that he is one of the people who can move freely here!”

"The only people who can move freely in Silent Hill are Eldar, peddlers, the warden, and outsiders!" Ye Qing said. "So, those who are targeting us are most likely one of these four types!"

“He’s getting closer and closer to us. If we keep rushing like this, he’ll catch up with us sooner or later, and we might even encounter other evil creatures that we can’t handle!” Ye Qing said. “But right now, the surroundings seem relatively safe. Should we take a gamble?”

"What do you mean?" the big yellow dog asked.

“I’m betting he’s a member of the Spirit Clan!” Ye Qing said. “If he is, I can handle him! I’ll threaten him with the complete contaminant to get him to take us to the Spirit Clan’s settlement in this area. That place is absolutely safe!”

As Ye Qing was talking, the sound of the bell grew closer and closer, and at the same time, the ground began to tremble.

"If we lose the bet, we're dead!" the big yellow dog cursed. "I think it would be best if we could reach the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons before he gets close! It would be best if we could reach our lodging before he catches up with us. If we don't reach it, and he catches up and finds out we're from the Spirit Clan, we can still threaten him!"

Ye Qing gave a wry smile.

The big yellow dog's words make some sense.

But the frustrating thing is, as they continue forward, the old man knows what they will encounter ahead!

The group continued forward, and the bell grew closer and closer, causing the ground to tremble more and more violently.

Suddenly, the big yellow dog stopped abruptly, a hint of fear in its eyes, and said, "Kid, you're a damn jinx! We might really be in trouble!"

Just as his voice fell, there was nothing within Ye Qing's mental range.

"Did you find anything?" Ye Qing asked.

"The smell of blood!" the big yellow dog exclaimed. "There's a smell of blood ahead, and it's getting closer to us!"

"Be on guard!" Ye Qing took a deep breath.

Zhang Heng and Sun Jie were rendered unable to fight, and they were quickly released. The remaining six people and one dog surrounded the two of them.

Before long, Ye Qing's pupils contracted slightly. In the darkness ahead, he saw a figure carrying two bundles of firewood, slowly walking towards them from the darkness!

The two bundles of firewood were damp and smelled foul.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard and a machete at his waist.

Upon seeing Ye Qing and the others, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said, "There are actually a few pieces of trash left!"

"The woodcutter!" Ye Qing's pupils contracted!

With a flick of his right hand, the parchment swiftly appeared in his palm!

"Jingle Bell!"

Just then, the sound of a bell rang out behind them again.

At the same time, the ground trembled violently, and a huge sound came from behind Ye Qing!

It was as if some enormous creature had appeared behind them.
