The two of them looked over and saw another figure emerging from the fog about one or two meters away from them. The figure seemed to be extending a hand towards them.
Seeing the figure get closer and closer, Fatty was so scared he stood rooted to the ground. His mouth was wide open in shock.
Ma Yue was the one who reacted and shouted, “Run!”
Then, he rushed away.
Fatty was still tied to him by the rope wrapped around his waist. So, when Ma Yue ran, he was pulled along with him. As he ran, he turned his head to look back and cried out in surprise, “What’s going on? Why are there so many human figures?”
Ma Yue’s shout just now seemed to have activated whatever was hiding in the fog. In an instant, the thick fog around them seemed to come alive as it rushed towards the two people who were running. There were also many human figures mixed within.
It was already difficult to travel through the steep mountain terrain. In addition, the thick fog made it even harder to discern the path ahead. If ordinary people were here, they would not even dare to take a step forward.
Even experts like Ma Yue and Fatty who specialized in treading through wild terrains were struggling. They were not running much faster than the human figures who were swarming behind them.
After running for a while, Ma Yue finally could not help but shout, “Fatty, untie the rope! Otherwise, neither of us will be able to run!”
Fatty immediately lowered his head and glanced at the rope tied to his waist. Ma Yue was trying his best to run in front but Fatty ran too slow and the rope restricted Ma Yue’s movement, preventing him from running fast.
This brat was probably thinking of abandoning him and running away? Fatty’s thoughts changed as he tightened his grip on the rope. As he ran, he shouted, “Hell no! Captain Ma! If I untie the rope and we get separated, we’re both doomed!”
When Ma Yue heard that, he cursed inwardly. He had no other choice and ran even harder. However, he was dragging a fatty who weighed more than 200 pounds. Like an eagle with its wings tied, he could not run far at all.
“Hurry up!” Ma Yue looked at the approaching figure and was so anxious that his eyes were about to pop out.
However, Fatty could only reply while panting, “Do you think I don’t want to? I can only run so fast! Damn, I’m so tired…”
At this moment, Ma Yue was regretting not tying himself to Yun Qin. Instead of dragging such a big piece of fat meat to run, if he was with Yun Qin, he could easily outrun the figures, and he might even have a way to attack.
After running for a long time, the two of them slowed down. Meanwhile, the figure was getting closer and closer. It was almost touching Fatty’s back.
Fatty was so scared that he was about to cry. When he felt the extremely cold aura behind him, goosebumps popped up all over his body. He quickly pulled out a golden grave robber talisman hanging on his neck and cried, “Don’t come over, don’t come over…”
The golden grave robber talisman was a must-have item for grave robbers. It had some protective measures against evil spirits and could chase away monsters like zombies. However, the talisman seemed to have little effect on the figures in the fog. After the figures dodged for a while, they continued to chase after them.
Perhaps it was because of the subtle effect of the golden grave robber talisman that Fatty was wearing, one of the figures bypassed Fatty and headed straight for Ma Yue in front of him.
Seeing a fog hand reach out from the side and grab one of his arms, Ma Yue let out a scream and frantically shook the hand off. His actions scattered the fog hand, but the hand quickly condensed back together.
Ma Yue felt that his arm that the fog hand grabbed turned cold and limp. It was as if the fog hand sucked away all the strength in his arm.
If the fog hand grabbed his entire body, wouldn’t the hand suck away all the strength in his body? Thinking of this, Ma Yue’s desperate desire to survive erupted, and he ran with all his might.
“Hey, Hey, Hey, don’t!”
Ma Yue suddenly burst of energy dragged Fatty with him, causing him to stagger a big step. Fatty cried out in alarm, wanting Ma Yue to wait for him.
However, Ma Yue was getting dragged down by him, so he developed other thoughts. He took out a small knife from his waist bag tried to cut the rope tied to his waist.
However, the quality of this safety rope was very good. Ma Yue used all his strength but he only cut off a strand of the rope. Just as he was running and cutting the rope, he suddenly heard two overlapping screams.
“Captain Ma! The cliff!”
“Stop! Be careful!”
However, he was running too fast and by the time Ma Yue saw the fog disperse, revealing a cliff in front of him, it was too late for him to stop.
Before he could react, his body plunged straight down the cliff.
When Yun Qin sensed a large amount of evil energy suddenly gathering nearby, she realized that Fatty and Ma Yue were in trouble. She ran in the direction where she sensed the evil energy. However, the more she chased, the faster the evil energy moved, it was as if it was chasing something.
