Metropolis: The Rise of Chinese Arts

The moment the dust dispersed, Zhang Nian stood coldly on the spot, staring at Xu Hui on the tree branch.

At this time, Xu Hui was dumbfounded, as if he was not the orangutan who was targeted.

After a few seconds, Zhang Nian called out to him.

"Come on down."

He just came back to his senses and slowly climbed down from the tree.

Just after landing, Xu Hui said with a smile.

"Hey, brother, how do you know I'm fine."

Zhang Nian sneered and said.

"A dying person shouldn't be able to call for help so loudly. I think you just peed out of fear."

Hearing Zhang Nian's words, Xu Hui coughed twice in embarrassment, and said.

"Then what, then let's go."

Zhang Nian didn't say a word, as the saying goes, people can't let go of their hardships, even though he didn't have much communication with Xu Hui.

But there was no need for him to let Xu Hui lose face.

After all, he still needs this person for the road ahead.

The two continued to walk forward.

From the outside, the forest is not small.

But in fact, the two of them walked out of the center of the forest within less than an hour.

The woods outside were already very sparse, and when viewed from a distance, a new hill appeared in front of it.

When the two were about to move forward, Zhang Nian suddenly stopped.

Xu Hui took two steps forward, but found that Zhang Nian hadn't followed, he was stunned and turned around.

"What's the matter, brother, why don't you go?"

Zhang Nian frowned and said.

"This place is not right."

Xu Hui froze for a moment, then looked to the side, and after a few seconds, he looked back at Zhang Nian and said with a confused expression.

"Brother, you who are not even afraid of gorillas, how can you be afraid of such a broken mountain? I have passed this place many times, and there is nothing at all."

Zhang Nian looked at Xu Hui, of course he knew that what Xu Hui said was definitely true.

But at this moment, he could already sense the unusual aura around him.

My own feeling is also right.

When the two of them were at a stalemate, they suddenly heard a roar from the side.

A figure suddenly appeared from nowhere.

Zhang Nian was taken aback, grabbed Xu Hui next to him, and backed away.

The two of them hid, only to hear a loud noise, and the man directly smashed a pothole out of the place where they were standing.

Zhang Nian looked at Xu Hui, who was still in shock, and said in a cold voice.

"I don't know how you come here so many times."

Xu Hui also said with a look of fear.

"Damn it, the few times I've been here, I haven't encountered so many strange things on this mountain..."

Zhang Nian snorted coldly and looked up at the man.

I saw the person who just appeared, dressed in rags, with empty eyes, looking towards Zhang Nian and the others.

Immediately in Zhang Nian's mind was the group of people led by the white-haired old man when he first came up.

According to Zhang Nian's inference at the time, these people seemed to have lost consciousness, and they couldn't tell the good from the bad at all.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is that they can't understand human language at all.

This man looked just like any of them.

Before Zhang Nian could make a move, he heard Xu Hui beside him saying softly.

"Oops, this, this is a lost soul, brother, let's go, let's go."

Zhang Nian was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at him, and said.

"What lost soul, isn't this a person?"

Xu Hui swallowed his saliva, seeing that he couldn't speak very quickly.

As he came over and wanted to pull Zhang Nian away, he stammered.

"Brother, I'll explain this to you later. What we have to do now is to run for our lives."

However, before he finished speaking, the man had already rushed towards them.

Although this person's speed is not as fast as the previous orangutan, Zhang Nian can feel that this person's cultivation level is not low.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't run away, Xu Hui didn't care about Zhang Nian at this moment, and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nian not only did not retreat at this time, but rushed towards that person instead.

Xu Hui was taken aback, shouted "Oops" and closed his eyes.

Bang bang.

Then, there was silence.

It seems that there is only the sound of the wind blowing on the mountain.

Xu Hui probably knew that he was going to die here, he sighed, knelt down suddenly, and cried bitterly.

"Please, please don't kill me, I was wrong, don't kill me, spare my life."

After a few seconds, a voice suddenly said.

"Get up, no one is going to kill you."

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, and bravely opened his eyes, only to see Zhang Nian standing in front of him.

And the person who just rushed out was already lying on the ground at this time.

There were no wounds on his body, but he was lying motionless on the ground.

Zhang Nian smiled and said.

"Go on."

Xu Hui nodded quickly, and when he turned around to stand up, he felt his legs go limp and almost fell down again.

He looked at Zhang Nian, still terrified in his heart.

It was Zhang Nian who spoke first.

"What's the matter with the soul you just said?"

Xu Hui wiped off his sweat and said.

"Brother, didn't you do your homework before you came up? It is said that many people died in this place, and later these people all became lonely ghosts, here to take revenge on the passers-by. Nong, look at that, he is one of them represent."

As he spoke, Xu Hui pointed to the person lying on the ground.

Zhang Nian frowned and looked at the man on the ground.

When the two fought against each other just now, Zhang Nian clearly felt that the other party was alone.

How could a living person be a soul, let alone a ghost.

There must be something to this.

Thinking of this, he looked towards Xuhui Road next to him.

"Is there any misunderstanding here? This is a person, not some lonely ghost. Go and try."

Xu Hui was taken aback, he stared at Zhang Nian with wide eyes and shook his head.

"No, no, it's what the elder brother says, so I don't have to try."

Zhang Nian frowned, and saw him move suddenly.

Before Xu Hui could react, he lightly kicked him on the knee.

Xu Hui lost his footing and threw himself directly at the man.

With a plop, Xu Hui fell onto the body of the person lying on the ground.

The next second, he screamed and stood up with a whoosh.

But soon, Xu Hui reacted.

He froze for a moment, looked at the man on the ground, and said.

"I'll go, I'm really a person, but"

"But their behavior really looks like the walking dead, what the hell is going on?"

Xu Hui nodded, what Zhang Nian said was exactly what he wanted to say.

But this problem, now he has no way to explain it, and he doesn't know.

Zhang Nian took a deep breath and looked deep into the mountain.
