Ghost Barriers?

In this storm of dark clouds, those folk stories of Yan Xia unconsciously emerged in everyone's mind.

The fierce wind blew against their faces along with the rain, and the grass in front of them grew. It really was like they had come to the wilderness of the countryside in folk stories.

"Don't scare yourself. What Ghost Barriers? Maybe it's because of the weather that we aren't able to distinguish the direction." An elder member of the Section Nine members said.

"Wait, what is this?" The Section Nine members, who had just carved marks on the stones, stared at a piece of stone buried in the ground in front of them, revealing only half of it. "This is the stone that I just marked."

"How is that possible? The stone with the mark you've made is clearly below. We've already walked up the mountain for more than ten minutes!"

"Look over there." A female squad member's face was filled with terror as she pointed to the side.

The people suddenly saw that the stone statue where they had just taken shelter from the rain was not far away from them.

Such a scene made the two female members tremble involuntarily because what was happening now was really too strange. They had been up the mountain for more than ten minutes, but the stone statue appeared in front of them again. The torrential rain covering the mountains and the road under their feet were all chilling.

"Could it be that it is just a stone statue similar to the one we saw just now? There are countless stone statues of different sizes on this mountain. If this stone statue is a certain guardian, then it is

probably not the only one. There is nothing wrong with the appearance of two, or even three or four." Someone made this guess.

This speculation made everyone feel much more at ease.

"It's possible."

They used this reason to comfort themselves.

The rain in the sky was still very heavy, and there was no sign of stopping. The heavy wind was blowing the heavy rain, and raindrops were blowing on their faces. The footprints left on the mountain road immediately disappeared in the heavy rain.

Everyone continued to walk to the top of the mountain. More than ten minutes later, the same stone statue appeared again.

"Impossible! How could this be?" The Section Nine members who made the marks spoke again, and he touched the stone that he had made his own mark. In order to avoid being mistaken before, he deliberately used a sharp knife to draw a few symbols on it, and now it appeared again. It was absolutely impossible for him to be mistaken.

"It seems that we really met a Ghost Barrier." A male team member spoke. He pointed to the stone statue in front of them and appeared again.

He said, "I just made a few markings on the stone statue. Look, this is what I left behind before."

"Ghost Barriers? Did we really encounter ghosts?" A female team member's legs were trembling. They were not afraid of powerful enemies, but this kind of strange thing, for these women, was too much to handle.

What people feared the most was the unknown. What was happening now was touching the unknown fields in their lives.

Henry had been walking in the front. He frowned all the way without saying a word. But when he observed carefully, he found that Gardiner's pace was in a complete mess. It proved that the anxiety in his heart was still growing.

"We can't continue on," Henry said. He was the backbone of the team now, so he gave orders. "Go take shelter from the rain first. We have to find out what has happened. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will never go up the mountain."

While talking, Henry looked at the foot of the mountain. They had walked back and forth for more than half an hour, but they were still in the position of the mountainside, and the height had not changed much.

The group of people returned to the stone statue to take shelter from the rain. Gardiner, who was unable to control his Qi, had completely lost his mind. He did not say a word and no one knew what he was thinking.

Under the dark night, the heavy rain poured down. Henry and others stood around the stone statue, and the blurred face of the stone statue seemed to reveal a cruel smile.

"I heard from the old man that if you meet Ghost Barriers, you must see the road clearly. Use the flashlight to direct the road ahead. Whether there is a road or not, you have to walk straight." One of them said in a trembling voice.

"This isn't a Ghost Barrier." Henry shook his head. "I'm afraid we've been trapped in some people's maze. It's also clear why the people who came in before couldn't go out. They were also trapped in it. From now on, we'll go down the mountain." "Yes, let's leave this place first." The frightened female member quickly agreed with Henry's proposal.

Henry was now giving orders. If Gardiner did not object, no one would object. Everyone took a short break and was ready to go down the mountain.

But when they were looking for the way down the mountain, they found that the road they had just taken disappeared again.

The stone seemed to be a mountain that was concaved inside. When they walked into this cave, they couldn't see the surroundings of the mountain. They didn't know when the path they came from disappeared, nor did they know how it disappeared.

"Let's go." Henry did not go to the rails. He stepped on the mountain slope and went down.

The crowd followed Henry. The mountain road was very slippery, and they were careful with every step, including Henry. He could not control his Qi now, and his strength was only at the peak of a normal person's strength. Once he lost balance in this situation, he would inevitably be seriously injured, even if his life would not be in danger.

They went down the mountain all the way from the slope. They saw a protruding rock outside the mountain. When they reached the top of the rock, they were all stunned.

Because the protruding rock was nothing special. It was the top of the hidden stone statue in the concave mountain. They went down the slope and back to the place where the statue was located.

"Damn it! Damn it! We definitely saw a ghost!" The youngest member of Section Nine kept muttering. "We're trapped by ghosts. We can't get out of here."

The timid female squad member had been so frightened that her face was pale, and she couldn't speak.

Henry also frowned. Although he didn't believe in the so-called Ghost Barriers, he couldn't explain what had happened at the moment.

Henry looked at the team members who were panting and said, "Take a rest first and recover your strength."

The few of them jumped off the protruding rock and once again returned to the place where the statue was located.

When they saw this statue again, everyone felt a kind of fear. They felt as if they had been cursed and were completely trapped here. They could not go up the mountain, but they couldn't go down the mountain either.

The crowd sat around the stone statue, eating compressed biscuits and watching the heavy rain in front of them. No one made a sound. Except for the sound of the heavy rain, no other sound was heard.

Gardiner wanted to light a cigarette, but after he pressed the lighter a few times, there was no flame. The irritable Gardiner threw the lighter on the ground and smashed it to pieces.
