Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Ning Qi, and Hu Bo ran all the way, bumbling and crashing, heading anywhere they could without thinking, not even knowing if they had deviated from their original path, only wanting to get as far away from that place as possible.
As they ran, Gu Fan saw a light up ahead, believing it was Su Hui and the others, so he hurried over.
"Gu Fan, are you all okay?" Indeed, it was Su Hui and the others. Seeing the panic in Lu Yi and the fear draining the color from Ning Qi's face, they asked hurriedly, "What happened? Did you encounter something?"
"Yes!" Gu Fan nodded, his own face reflecting the shock of recent events. He then relayed what they had experienced, leaving the others in stunned silence.
Jie expressed some disbelief, as the story seemed too fantastical.
Old man Tian, expressionless, suggested, "We should go back and search again tomorrow."
