C48 (1/2)

”AHH!”

I jumped back, my heart pounding in my eyes.

At this moment, the phone in my hand suddenly shut down.

The surroundings were completely dark, with only the fire piston in the old Daoist's hand emitting a dark light as if it was about to be extinguished.

”What's wrong?” The old Daoist walked over.

Startled, I said, ”There's a skull up ahead. What a terrifying skull.”

However, the old Daoist said with a ”Tch”, ”You've seen a lot of ghosts, why are you afraid of skulls hanging in the air!”

With that said, the old Daoist raised a flaming paper roll and walked forward. He looked at the ground and said, ”No, where are the skulls?”

The old Daoist turned around and said to me, ”Have you been made a fool of by the Ghost? Have you gone blind?”

”How is this possible!” As I walked over, I said, ”I clearly saw it just now. When I jumped backwards, my foot knocked against the skull. Could I have kicked it forward?”

The old Daoist half-believed him, but he still turned around and held up the fire piston, lowering his head as he searched for something. After searching for four or five steps, the old Daoist said, ”Where are the skulls? Don't be afraid, there are ghosts here. There won't be any skulls.”

I cursed in my heart. 'Damn it, why are you telling me not to be afraid when there's a ghost, are you teasing me or mocking me?'

Fortunately, there was still the old Daoist's fire piston, but it was a bit hollow and the light it emitted was very dim. Not only was it unable to clearly see its surroundings, it even added a strange color to the darkness.

Cold sweat had already appeared on my forehead. I vigilantly observed my surroundings. Every nerve in my body had been erected.

At this moment, in front of the dim light of the fire piston, a figure suddenly flashed by …

The figure flashed by and disappeared. But I was sure that I was not seeing things, because the man's eyes were still glowing with a ghostly blue, like a wolf's eyes in the dark. I could not be mistaken about that.

I forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tugged at the corner of the old Daoist's clothes and whispered, ”There's something up ahead …”

The old Daoist stopped searching for the skull on the ground and straightened his back.

I followed close behind him, the silence so deep that I could hardly breathe.

The old Taoist suddenly stopped, and I accidentally hit him on the back.

The old Daoist looked at me disdainfully and said, ”Don't be terrified. There will be even more exciting things to do in the future.”

I bitterly smiled and braced myself and said, ”How am I scared? That skull just now, I still think of it as a soccer ball.”

”Is that so?” The old Daoist asked me, ”Is it really that awesome?”

I smiled bitterly. ”Of course!” I thought, Now that the skull is gone, I'll say whatever I want.

However, at this time, the old Daoist raised the fire piston in his hand and said, ”You can slowly practice shooting here. The number of skulls here is definitely enough.”

When I saw it, my heart thumped and I immediately felt it difficult to breathe. My heart stopped at my eyes and my head was raised to my head. With a ”Ah!”, I screamed out.

My God, there's a wall up ahead, and this wall is made of skulls!

These skulls, they all have hair, faces, eyeballs, all of their faces, they are all facing us, countless skulls, countless shriveled eyeballs, all of them are staring at me and the old Daoist with weird gazes!

The old Daoist kicked him and said, ”Are you done shouting? If you are, hurry up and kick the ball.”

I immediately stopped screaming and panted. After recovering from my shock, I cursed loudly, ”Kick my ass! I'm about to be paralyzed from fright. You still have the nerve to joke around with me?”

The old Daoist looked at me with disdain. ”What are you afraid of? It's just a skull. It's no different from wood.”

It was just a skull, not much different from wood …

I suddenly had the urge to punch this guy. If there was enough light, I would definitely be able to see the black lines on my face.

”Do you think these skulls will suddenly fly and attack us?” I was scared again.
