Laughing and chatting, they had traveled several tens of li when, just as they were about to exit the primitive forest, Ge Feng suddenly had a premonition and looked up ahead abruptly.
He saw four corpses hanging from ropes tied to four towering ancient trees on either side of the road ahead.

As Ge Feng rode his horse under the four ancient trees, he looked up at the four hanging bodies, observed them closely for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed out loud.
