With Ni Rou's scream of "Ahh—", Lou Lantian turned her head and watched with wide eyes as Ni Rou fell and vanished from sight.
She subconsciously reached out to grab Ni Rou, only to realize she couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
Lou Lantian was frozen in place.
Out of sight, yet the sounds of rolling down the slope were crystal clear, scream after scream piercing into her ears, carrying an eerie desolation that chilled the heart.

Lou Lantian instinctively wanted to run.

But after taking just one step back, she thought of numerous flaws in that plan.
