Chapter 54: A Headstone

“I didn’t expect this place to be such a good place to cultivate!” Yun Qin walked to the middle of the valley and suddenly felt exhausted. She sat on a pile of soft grass and exhaled. “Fortunately, I got here before dark.”

By the time Yun Qin took out food and water to replenish her energy, the sun already set and the sky was turning dark.

Yun Qin also released the greedy ghost and the other little ghosts. The little ghosts seemed to be inexplicably excited in this unfamiliar but comfortable environment.

Even the hidden ghost, who was usually very calm, seemed to be excited. Its nose twitched slightly under its green eyes.

“Did you smell something?”

It was the first time Yun Qin saw the hidden ghost like this, so she asked curiously.

“Hidden ghost.”

The black furball answered in human language. Although Yun Qin didn’t quite understand what it said, she activated her ability and understood the hidden ghost’s meaning.

It could smell the scent of its kind.

Since the hidden ghost could smell their scent, it meant that they were in the right place.

Yun Qin’s mood instantly improved. Looking at the excited little ghosts, she felt relieved.

It was as if she treated the little ghosts as her children.

After resting for a bit, she and the little ghosts once again embarked on the arduous journey of climbing down the mountain.

The lower part of the mountain was very steep and was shaped like a vertical cup. Yun Qin could only climb down using a safety rope tied to her body.

About two hours later, Yun Qin stepped on the ground. When she looked up at the mountain, she found a natural karst cave hidden under the dense vegetation.

Vaguely, she could hear water flowing.

At this time, the hidden ghost was not as excited as it was when it first smelled the scent of its kind. Instead, it tried its best to widen its small eyes, as if it was on guard against something.

The greedy ghost also jumped into Yun Qin’s arms and shrank back uneasily.

Yun Qin also felt that this place was unusual. She guessed that there might be a powerful evil ghost living here.

After walking into the cave, she saw a square stone sticking up from a pile of grass.

Yun Qin curiously went forward to take a look and was surprised to find that it was a headstone.

However, this headstone must have been here for many years. It was covered with a thick layer of moss and solidified objects. Even using her knife, Yun Qin could not remove the outer layer. Hence, she was unable to see the words on the headstone.

“To have such a thick shell, this headstone must have been here around the time when the mine was open.”

Yun Qin pondered. This headstone had to be at least 100 years old.

However, who would put a headstone in such a dangerous and strange place?

Yun Qin no longer pondered about the headstone. She turned on her flashlight and cautiously walked into the cave.

Such an environment was extremely suitable for hidden ghosts to live in.

The deeper she went, the wider the space became. The surrounding stone walls were filled with different colored stalactites. When the light hit it, it looked beautiful.

Yun Qin was a little lost in thought for a moment. She thought that if the outside world discovered this place, even if this place was where ghosts gathered, people would still go to great lengths to develop this place into a tourist attraction.

Just as Yun Qin was carefully studying at the stalactites around her, she stepped into a pile of something soft.

Yun Qin lowered her head to take a look and saw that she stepped into some wet mud.

As she moved forward, a quiet undercurrent river appeared in front of her. It was about two to three meters wide.

When Yun Qin walked to the river, she saw that she standing at a bend in the river. There were pitch-black holes at each end of the river, and the river passed through both.

She stretched out her hand and touched the water. The water was bone-chilling cold and the bottom of the river was dark. She couldn’t see anything.

So, where should she go now?

Yun Qin pulled the hidden ghost, who was walking slowly, in front of her and asked, “Smell it again. Where is your kind?”

The hidden ghost sniffed carefully. After a moment of silence, it jumped a few steps downstream.

After getting the answer, Yun Qin held her crutch again and walked into the increasingly slippery cave.

This journey was even more painful than climbing down the mountain into the valley. Yun Qin even thought about just leaving these little ghosts here and letting them wander.

However, thinking back to Zhang Yuan’s request, if she did leave them in such a dangerous place and they get eaten by some powerful ghost, it would be her fault.

In the ghost world, there were no laws. If you were strong, you survived.

Not only do ghosts kill living things and absorb vitality to cultivate their evil energy, but they also fight amongst each other. The strong would bully the weak and even eat the weak.
