The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 297 Entering the Forgotten River

Let’s talk about Ru Yue and Chu Ning’an. At the beginning, Chu Ning’an carried Ru Yue on his back and performed light skills, following closely behind the team.

As the fog grew thicker, it seemed as if a thick white curtain enveloped the entire mountain forest. Coupled with the rugged terrain and dense trees that made it difficult to pass through, Chu Ning'an gradually lost sight of his team.

Ru Yue lay on Chu Ning'an's broad and strong back. Although she didn't have to trek on foot, the constant ups and downs still made her feel dizzy, even though she never got carsick.

She knew very well that this was definitely not the time to act coquettishly or complain. She clenched her teeth and bit her lower lip hard, trying to use the pain in her body to resist the strong dizziness that came over her in waves.

She persisted like this until the sky gradually darkened. She finally opened her eyes with great effort, only to find to her horror that they had completely lost contact with the team.

"Chu Ning'an, stop now! We have lost the Marquis and the others!" Ru Yue shouted weakly, her voice trembling with weakness.

Hearing this, Chu Ning'an suddenly stopped his rapid pace.

He calmed down and instantly realized that something was wrong.

He slowly turned around, looking anxiously left and right, but there was nothing in sight except a vast expanse of thick white fog. Even the directions of east, west, south, and north were blurred and indistinguishable.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anxiety surging in his heart. He looked at Ru Yue, whose face was filled with fear, and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ru Yue. Trust me, no matter what, I will lead you out of this foggy forest."

Ru Yue nodded slightly, but the fear in her eyes still did not disappear.

She held his hand tightly and said tremblingly, "Well, but we really can't keep going blindly like this. The fog is so thick and the sky is so dark, and we know nothing about this place. Who knows if we will suddenly encounter some unexpected danger?"

At this time, the forest seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious and thick veil. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and not even the sound of wind or insects could be heard.

This eerie silence was creepy, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Their figures were gradually swallowed by the thick fog. If it weren't for the hands that were always tightly clasped together, they would probably have mistakenly thought that the other person had disappeared in the vast white fog.

Ru Yue only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and her head was dizzy. Every step she took required a huge effort.

She thought that if she could drink some spiritual spring water, perhaps it would relieve the uncomfortable symptoms.

Just as she had this thought, Ah Ling's anxious voice suddenly came to her mind: "Sister, how are you? Drink some spiritual spring water quickly, it will make you feel better!"

Hearing A Ling's cry, Ru Yue no longer cared about hiding anything. She reached into the space and quickly took out a water bag filled with spiritual spring water.

She handed the water bag to Chu Ning'an and said with concern: "Drink it first and replenish your strength quickly so that we can continue on our journey to catch up with Wu'an Hou."

Chu Ning'an took the water bag, looked at Ru Yue gratefully, and then drank the spiritual spring water in big gulps.

Not long after, he felt a cool force spreading throughout his body, and his originally exhausted body gradually regained some strength.

Seeing this, Ru Yue also drank the spiritual spring water with confidence.

The effect of the spiritual spring water was indeed extraordinary. After just a short while, both of them felt visibly refreshed and their physical discomfort was greatly alleviated.

Finally, they regained their spirits and began to seriously consider how to catch up with Wu An Hou next...

At this moment, the originally silent and quiet forest was suddenly broken by a faint sound like the roar of an owl or the cry of a monkey.

The sound was like an extremely sharp sword, easily piercing through the thick fog and reaching deep into people's hearts.

It seems that it is not just echoing in people's ears, but it seems to have fallen from the sky, suddenly appearing in the mind, making people startled.

The two of them jumped up from the ground as if they had been electrocuted, and pricked up their ears with nervous and focused expressions, trying to catch the source and meaning of the mysterious sound.

At first, the voice was unclear and intermittent, but as time went on, it gradually became clearer and clearer. "Sister...sister...sister..."

The calls are like a melodious melody, floating in the air.

At first, they were filled with worry, fearing that the sound was the roar of some unknown ferocious beast in the forest. After all, in this deep forest, there are countless unknown dangers and mysterious creatures hidden.

As the sound repeated regularly and rhythmically, their doubts gradually dissipated, replaced by an increasingly firm belief - it must be Marquis Wu'an who was looking for them!

Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an held each other tightly and groped forward cautiously in the direction where the sound came from.

Along the way, they walked slowly and cautiously, for fear of alerting any danger lurking around them.

Strangely, despite the thick fog in the forest, they didn't encounter a single wild animal. Perhaps it was because the fog obscured their presence, making it difficult for the animals to detect them; or perhaps there was some mysterious power protecting them, allowing them to successfully find a way out.

The pervasive fog brings a heavy sense of oppression, as if an invisible mountain is pressing on one's heart, making it almost impossible to breathe.

With every step I took, I could feel the wet vapor coming towards me, cold and damp, as if it wanted to devour my soul.

But even so, they still did not retreat, and moved forward firmly, with only one thought in their minds: to meet with Marquis Wu'an as soon as possible.

The two of them carefully groped their way forward in the mountains and forests, relying on their hands' feel. They took every step with extreme caution, even their breathing became extremely light, for fear of making a sound and missing the source of the mysterious voice.

There was silence all around, with only the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind and the cries of unknown animals in the distance, making the forest seem even more eerie and terrifying.

Despite this, their tightly clasped hands never loosened, and whenever the voice rang out again, they would both shake hands with each other more forcefully, as if conveying their inner tension and anticipation to each other, while also confirming the authenticity of the voice.

In this way, they slowly moved forward in the direction where the sound came from, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

Time passed by minute by minute, but for the two people who were concentrating on chasing the sound at this moment, they had completely lost their perception of the passage of time.

They didn't know how much time had passed, but they were pleasantly surprised to find that the sounds they heard gradually became clearer and clearer.

It was a childish and clear voice, like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness of the night, bringing a ray of hope to the dark forest and leading them to move forward.

"Sister... Sister... Sister..." The calls were like beautiful notes floating in the air.

At this moment, Ru Yue, who had been silent and listening intently, suddenly seemed to be unable to contain her excitement and shouted loudly towards the source of the sound: "My Lord, we are here!"

However, her voice was obviously much weaker than that of the child, like a small stone thrown into the sea, and at first it did not attract the attention of the grandfather and grandson.

Ru Yue was not discouraged by this. Whenever she heard the child calling again, she would respond without hesitation by shouting at the top of her lungs.

In this way, she repeated her cry over and over again, and her voice echoed in the mountains and forests for a long time.

After about half an hour, hard work paid off. Finally, for a moment, someone seemed to vaguely hear Ru Yue's cry.

For fear of disturbing the grandfather and grandson who were in action, even if this person noticed something, he could only suppress his inner joy and silently watch the development of the situation.

"Sir, they are catching up!" shouted the old hunter.

This cry was like a thunderclap, exploding in Marquis Wu'an's heart.

His heart, which had been hanging high, finally relaxed a little, but when he thought about not having seen his son yet, that half of his heart still felt as heavy as if it had fallen into the abyss.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was dead silence all around, with only the nervous breathing of the crowd being clearly audible.

After an unknown amount of time, Marquis Wu'an seemed to hear a faint sound - the crisp sound of stepping on dead branches and leaves.

The originally thick fog, which was as heavy as substance, seemed to be disturbed by something and began to fluctuate slightly.

Wu Anhou was in high spirits, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Xuan'er, Ruyue, but you two?"

His voice echoed in the silent forest, seeming particularly loud.

The sound was so close that it seemed to be right next to you, giving you the illusion that they were very close.

Sure enough, a response was heard from not far away: "My Lord, we finally caught up with you and everyone!" The voice was crisp and pleasant, it was Ru Yue.

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to stretch out her hand and grope forward.

"Sister Noble, you are finally here!" The familiar and sincere child's voice sounded again, and Ru Yue felt a furry little hand holding her outstretched palm.

She was delighted, knowing that she had finally touched the cute little guy.

That’s great! After going through so much hardship, they finally managed to catch up and meet up with Wu’an Hou’s team.

Everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before anyone could fully relax, the old hunter's deep voice rang out again: "Everyone, take a break first and eat some dry food to replenish your energy. At midnight, we will enter the River of Oblivion."

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's head, instantly making everyone's hearts, which had just relaxed, tighten again.
