As the corpse of the servant appeared, the anomaly in the woods did not cease but intensified instead. Locating the corpse, Nalan Shuo seemed to have disturbed that daunting ghost; now, it seemed to have its sights on him.
The moment the lantern went out was the moment he was attacked.
However, having faced considerable challenges before, Nalan Shuo was not yet flustered by the current situation. Gathering his composure, he once again stepped out of the tomb's vicinity and cautiously observed from behind the tree. This time, besides the lone corpse lying there, there were no abnormalities near the tomb area.
Looking back, the shadows of the trees behind him loomed ominously, resembling creatures lurking in the darkness, baring their fangs and claws at him. He knew without even trying that he couldn't leave.
