Su Lai was also dumbfounded by the situation before him. To be honest, he couldn't understand why the ghost dared to face them so openly.
Could it be that it was confident in its own strength? That was too arrogant.
Yu Daochen stared intently at the motionless white-robed ghost ahead: "Old Su, I suspect a trap. Be careful."
Su Lai nodded: "When things are abnormal, there must be a demon."
"Let's combine our strength and defeat it in one move." Before Yu Daochen finished speaking, Su Lai drew the bright red wooden stick from his waist and charged forward.
Yu Daochen wanted to call out to Su Lai, but the guy had already rushed out a considerable distance.
As Su Lai charged out, a thick fog suddenly rose on both sides of the road.
Yu Daochen's expression changed: "Damn it, it's a trap!"
Yu Daochen turned to look at the car behind them. Even though it was only four or five meters away, the fog had already enveloped the car, and only the faint glow of two car headlights could be seen.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Fu intended to open the door and go find his sect leader.
Just as Zhou Fu was about to open the car door, Da Hu stopped him: "Don't you guys get out. In this situation, you'll definitely get lost. The ghost's trick is to make us scatter and defeat us one by one. Grandpa Yu and Brother Su's strength is such that ordinary ghosts can't do anything to them, but if you go down, you'll surely die."
Da Hu looked at the sudden fog with a serious expression. The more such situations arose, the less one should lose their composure.
Da Hu was still confident in the strength of Grandpa Yu and Brother Su, as one had the strength of the Heaven Ranking and the other was at the peak of the Earth Ranking, and also had the Kang Long Jian to protect him.
Actually, Da Hu also wanted to get out of the car to find them, but if he left, who knew what these three guys would do.
The only thing they could do now was to wait for the two of them to return.
In the thick fog, Yu Daochen saw that things were getting more and more wrong. Just as he was about to pull out his phone to call Da Hu, he saw that Da Hu had already called him first.
Yu Daochen answered the phone, and Da Hu's voice came from the phone: "Grandpa Yu, what's the situation now?"
Yu Daochen glanced at his surroundings, the fog so thick that he couldn't see his hand, and said: "Old Su chased the ghost."
Da Hu on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said: "You'd better come back first. We'll wait for him in the car."
Yu Daochen was helpless. If he went to find someone now, it would be impossible. If he walked fifteen meters, he wouldn't even be able to see the car's headlights: "We can only do this for now."
Yu Daochen hung up the phone and then found Su Lai's number and called him.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off. Please try again later."
Yu Daochen cursed inwardly. Why did this guy falter at such a crucial moment? He didn't even know his phone was dead.
However, this guy must have sensed something was wrong and would have already returned.
With this thought, Yu Daochen was about to turn back towards the car when he saw two figures fighting not far away.
Yu Daochen wanted to get a closer look but couldn't identify them at all. He could only tell that they were two moving figures.
Just as Yu Daochen was about to run over, he changed his mind and took out his phone to call Da Hu.
Da Hu answered the phone, and Yu Daochen said: "I saw Old Su. I'm going to find him. If we don't return in an hour, you take the three of them and go forward. Remember to keep an eye on that foolish Zhou Fu."
Yu Daochen knew very well that in this situation, Zhou Fu would definitely get out of the car to find him, and this would fall right into the enemy's trap.
Da Hu, sitting in the driver's seat of the minivan, his face changed slightly, but he still agreed: "Okay, you must be very careful yourself."
Yu Daochen grunted: "Don't worry, you still don't trust my strength."
Yu Daochen hung up the phone and walked towards the two figures.
Da Hu, sitting in the driver's seat of the minivan, glanced at the time and decided to drive forward in an hour.
They didn't know what the situation was outside, and staying put was not an option. They had to move forward and leave this damned place.
Zhou Fu in the back was still worried. The Great Elder had instructed that no matter what happened, protecting the sect leader's safety was the top priority.
Da Hu looked at Zhou Fu, who was anxiously preparing to get out of the car, through the rearview mirror.
"Young Zhou, you absolutely must not do anything foolish now. The other party is just hoping we'll scatter. If you get out and scatter, everyone in this car will go looking for you, and then everyone will be in danger, including your sect leader," Da Hu warned.
Zhou Fu fell silent. He wasn't stupid and could see the current situation. If he got out and scattered again, it would undoubtedly add to the sect leader's burden.
Da Hu continued: "Don't think about it. Your sect leader's strength is stronger than mine, so nothing will happen to him. Besides, I promised him I'd keep an eye on you."
Hearing Da Hu say this, Zhou Fu dispelled the thought of getting out.
In the thick fog, Yu Daochen quickly arrived at the place where the two figures were fighting.
But what he saw was not Su Lai fighting a ghost, but two paper figures dressed in purple clothes, tied to a branch of a dwarf-necked tree with a piece of straw. With even the slightest breeze, the two paper figures would be blown about.
Yu Daochen inwardly cursed, realizing he had been tricked.
Just as Yu Daochen turned to leave and walk towards the car, the straw tied to the necks of the paper figures on the tree suddenly broke, and they fell down.
The two paper figures seemed to come to life, slowly standing up. The eyes painted on their faces blinked, which was extremely eerie.
