Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Terrifying Incident in the Woods

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~”

In the dimly lit forest, listening to the echoing unidentified bird chirping, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but shiver.

“Luoshu, are you scared?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a low voice.

“Just a bunch of birds, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Yun Luoshu blinked and asked with confusion.

At those words, Fang Xiaocao was taken aback.

She had indeed forgotten that Yun Luoshu was famously fearless at school.

“Alright, just don’t stray too far from me later…”

Fang Xiaocao said weakly.

“Hmm~”

Yun Luoshu nodded his head.

The humidity was high in the deep mountains and old forest, making dry firewood hard to find.

Fang Xiaocao and Yun Luoshu gathered a lot, but it was all the sort of half-wet, not dry branches.

“I don’t even know if this firewood will burn.”

Fang Xiaocao muttered.

“Swish swish swish…”

From the depths of the forest, there came a rustling of footsteps.

Fang Xiaocao startled, instinctively looking towards the sound.

In the dimly lit forest, a figure flickered.

“There’s someone!”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

“Where?”

Yun Luoshu also looked over.

But he saw nothing.

Fang Xiaocao vigilantly stared at the forest ahead.

Her expression began to turn solemn.

The information provided by Hot Noodles was wrong!

This was a very frightening message!

There was only one possibility in such a case.

It was that she had unwittingly changed the future.

The events that were supposed to happen in the future were now unfolding in an unpredictable direction.

The events Fang Xiaocao was now experiencing were no longer the future foretold by Hot Noodles.

This made Fang Xiaocao very anxious!

Ever since she had obtained the Golden Finger “Hot Noodles,” she had never encountered such a situation.

At this moment, Fang Xiaocao realized.

The Golden Finger was indeed useful, but it was ultimately an external force.

The events of the future changed in the blink of an eye.

The Golden Finger would eventually lose control.

The strength gained through reliance on the Golden Finger was not truly her own; it was all an illusion.

It was unbeatable for making money.

But when faced with these emergencies, it would always falter.

Only when one is truly strong, are they genuinely powerful.

In Fang Xiaocao’s heart, a seed was taking root and sprouting.

She wanted to become stronger!

“Luoshu, let’s go!”

Fang Xiaocao said quietly.

Yun Luoshu nodded and followed Fang Xiaocao as they retreated.

Fang Xiaocao and Yun Luoshu moved very cautiously.

Both pairs of eyes constantly scanned their surroundings.

“Luoshu, you lead the way and watch the front. I’ll keep an eye on our back.”

Fang Xiaocao quietly told Yun Luoshu.

“Okay!”

Yun Luoshu nodded his head, turned towards the direction of the campsite, one hand carrying the firewood, and the other holding onto a corner of Fang Xiaocao’s clothes.

Fang Xiaocao walked backwards, following Yun Luoshu’s lead, step by step, always keeping her eyes fixed on the forest behind them.

“Swish swish swish…”

The sound of footsteps sounded again.

Fang Xiaocao tensed up instantly, her heart almost leaping to her throat.

In the hazy surroundings, Fang Xiaocao dimly saw a strange figure moving through the trees.

“Who is he?”

“What does he want?”

Fang Xiaocao’s mind was filled with doubts.

This person must have some purpose.

But Fang Xiaocao couldn’t guess the intentions of the other party.

She could only be extra vigilant, constantly cautious.

They walked smoothly all the way, the person in the forest just kept trailing from afar, never approaching.

Even so, Fang Xiaocao felt increasingly uneasy.

The calm before the storm…

Often, the calmer it is, the more ferocious the upcoming storm will be.

Fang Xiaocao reached out her hand and pulled a small spring knife from her tactical pants.

Her thumb slowly pushed the release spring, sliding the hidden blade out of the handle.

The spring knife was customized by Fang Xiaocao.

A premium item, it had cost her thousands of dollars.

Besides being light, compact, and sharp!

There were no other advantages.

But it was the self-defense weapon Fang Xiaocao needed after too many close calls.

Clutching the spring knife, Fang Xiaocao felt somewhat reassured.

Her mind raced with various contingency plans for emergencies!

Firewood in her arms, knife in her hands.

“If the guy in the forest dares to come out,”

“I’ll throw the firewood at him, then stab him!”

Fang Xiaocao planned her moves in her mind.

“Hmm!”

“Together with Luoshu, we might not lose!”

Fang Xiaocao buoyed herself with these thoughts.

“Luoshu, if someone comes out, if it’s just one person, we’ll take them together and subdue him; if there are more than one, we run,”

After much thought, Fang Xiaocao said to Yun Luoshu.

If it was just one person, she and Yun Luoshu could probably subdue him together.

But if there were two, they would very likely lose.

After all, her nickname as a weak fighter hadn’t been shed yet; one must know oneself and act accordingly.

“Alright, I got it.”

Yun Luoshu nodded and responded in a low voice.

“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”

The footsteps sounded again.

This time, the person seemed even closer.

Fang Xiaocao could already vaguely make out the person’s face.

What a face it was!

Covered in burn scars and blemishes, dark red flesh everted, from within the dim shadows, intermittently visible as if an evil spirit had crawled out from Hell, frightening and ghastly.

Seeing this face, Fang Xiaocao shuddered.

Her spirit tensed up instantly.

A scream reached her throat only to be forcefully swallowed back down.

This was not the time to show any fear.

That would make the opponent throw caution to the wind!

Fang Xiaocao controlled herself, staring fixedly at the man’s face, refusing to let her eyes drift away as if to say to him: “Come on, I’m not afraid of you!”

The man grinned, revealing a set of dark yellow teeth, and with a blur of his figure, like a specter, he vanished again into the forest.

As if he had never been there.

“Gulp~”

Fang Xiaocao swallowed hard.

Her eyes unblinking, she stared fixedly in the direction the man had disappeared.

Fearing that if her gaze strayed for even a moment, the man would burst out from that direction and pounce on her.

“Luoshu, let’s walk a bit faster,”

Fang Xiaocao said with a trembling voice.

Sensing the tremble in Fang Xiaocao’s voice, Yun Luoshu unconsciously quickened his steps.

At the same time, he asked softly, “Xiaocao, what’s wrong?”

“No… nothing,”

“Just move faster,”

Fang Xiaocao said with a quivering voice.

“Okay!”

Yun Luoshu nodded and agreed.

Following Xiaocao’s pace, Yun Luoshu moved faster, while Fang Xiaocao, walking backwards, struggled to keep up and even stumbled.

But Fang Xiaocao dared not look back at the path; her eyes would not stray from the direction of the forest, terrified that the grotesque face would charge out of the woods.

“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”

The footsteps sounded again.

This time, the noise was even closer.

It seemed to be right beside her. @@novelbin@@

Fang Xiaocao’s eyes vigilantly scanned back and forth.

Fearing that the creepy figure would suddenly spring out from a corner, launching a surprise attack on them.

“Hee, hee, hee…”

A sinister, chilling laugh pierced the air.

It seemed…

Right next to her ear!

Fang Xiaocao turned around in horror, the grotesque face full of burns and scars filled her sight!
