Chapter 477: Chapter 0479: A Thin Mist

Chu Ge pushed the door open and got out of the car. Despite the darkness of the night, he could still vaguely sense the surroundings.

Huo Tianqian also followed, getting out of the car and coming to Chu Ge’s side, asking somewhat confusedly, "Mr. Chu, what’s going on?"

"If I’m not mistaken, we have now fallen into the Mysterious Formation."

Chu Ge, with hands clasped behind his back, walked around the car, becoming more certain of his thoughts.

A bewildered look came over Huo Tianqian’s face. "I’ve been following the route all along, how could we have fallen into the Mysterious Formation?"

Soon, he realized something and cursed with a bit of anger, "It must be those two Japanese! They must have set up this Array!"

Chu Ge slightly shook his head, "This Mysterious Formation is quite complicated. They’re currently too busy taking care of their comrades, they definitely don’t have spare time to set up these things."

"Then who would be so despicable as to lay such an Array on the road?"

Chu Ge shook his head again, unsure who had set up the Array.

"Now that it is dark, let’s return to the car and rest there for the night."

Chu Ge suggested, as nighttime was not suitable for breaking the Array, and the surroundings were unusually pitch black, not even the stars and moon could be seen in the sky, completely enveloped in darkness.

With no better plan in mind, Huo Tianqian could only follow Chu Ge’s lead. The two men returned to the car, and after a brief silence, Huo Tianqian couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chu, what if we can never regain our martial arts?"

It seemed he had grown fond of this kind of life. Although he had lived for over forty years as an ordinary person, it was not as fulfilling as the short time he had spent as an Ancient Martial Artist.

Since learning Ancient Martial Arts, it was as if he had opened the doors to a new era; everything had changed.

It was hard for him to imagine, if he returned to an ordinary life in the future, whether life would be the same ordered monotony, like a walking corpse. Such a life had long since lost any meaning for him.

With a vacant gaze, Huo Tianqian stared ahead, his expression somewhat desolate.

Chu Ge sat in the passenger seat, reclining it back, lying there with hands behind his head, eyes closed.

Hearing Huo Tianqian’s question, he was silent for a moment before speaking, "Don’t worry, that won’t happen."

Won’t happen? What won’t happen?

Huo Tianqian glanced at Chu Ge. He was twenty years Chu Ge’s senior, yet he found himself lacking in discernment compared to a younger man. He sighed softly and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I believe it."

This night was destined to be long.

Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian lay in the car, neither really sleeping, yet no one spoke.

Neither broke the silence.

But the stillness of the night was the best sleep aid, and it wasn’t long before steady breathing could be heard in the car.

The next day, as the first rays of dawn touched the city and the chill of an early autumn morning lingered, Chu Ge yawned and slowly opened his eyes. Even though he was now without any martial arts, he still didn’t want to waste away. Even if he was in the car, in an unknown place, he got out to stretch his muscles.

As soon as Chu Ge got out of the car, he was stunned by the sight before him.

In front of him was not a forest, but a graveyard.

The graveyard lay scattered without any order. It was precisely these graveyards that had formed the Mysterious Formation.

Chu Ge slightly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the surroundings closely; there was a thin layer of white fog, and the air was filled with the fragrance of wet earth.

He felt puzzled. Did it rain last night?

Chu Ge shivered, having stood here for a while, and actually felt some chill.

Chu Ge wanted to walk around, but suddenly heard an ethereal-like crying of a child nearby.

In the quiet early morning, it was especially piercing, and particularly spine-chilling.

Chu Ge tried to pinpoint the direction of the sound, but no matter how carefully he listened, the crying seemed to blend into the air, becoming one with it.

At this moment, Huo Tianqian who was in the car was also woken up by the crying, and he quickly got out of the car, somewhat groggy, and came to Chu Ge’s side. While looking around, he asked, "Mr. Chu, what’s happening?"

Huo Tianqian never expected to wake up to find himself luckily in the middle of a graveyard.

Even more, he and Mr. Chu had actually slept in this graveyard for a night!

The mere thought made Huo Tianqian feel creeped out.

Chu Ge shook his head slightly. He did not believe in ghosts and spirits, so he was convinced that the wailing of the child must be someone causing trouble.

"Damn! Who is so twisted to lead us to such a ghostly place? Even going as far as to play ghost to scare us!"

Huo Tianqian spat angrily, thinking that this was indeed twisted!

Chu Ge knitted his brows tightly. Although the crying sounded terrifying, if you listened carefully again to discern the voice, it seemed not so scary.

"This car is probably not going to start again; we need to walk out of this Mysterious Formation."

Huo Tianqian nodded, "I’ll go get the important items from the car."

Having said that, he turned, and suddenly, a white figure flickered before his eyes, moving so fast that he couldn’t catch it.

Huo Tianqian was startled, and abruptly, felt a chill down his spine, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and walked towards the car.

However, having only walked a few steps, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blow from behind him. Huo Tianqian quickly turned around, only to find nothing there.

Huo Tianqian frowned deeply, gritted his teeth, feeling both annoyed and hairy. He was just about to speak to Chu Ge, feeling as if there was something drifting around in the vicinity.

Suddenly, he realized—Chu Ge was gone.

Now Huo Tianqian was somewhat panicked, he rushed forward a few steps and shouted, "Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu?"

His voice was loud, and echo could be heard. But other than this echo, no other voice responded to him.

At this moment, Huo Tianqian was incredibly nervous, he hastily turned and raced back to the car, started it quickly, and while turning around, he searched for Chu Ge’s figure.

But no matter how he drove, he was only circling in place, as if trapped in a loop, endlessly going back and forth.

Chu Ge was carefully observing the terrain around him when suddenly he heard the sound of the car starting. He turned his head and saw Huo Tianqian driving straight ahead with a look of unmistakable panic on his face.

Chu Ge frowned, wanting to call out to Huo Tianqian, but after taking only a few steps, he was stopped by an invisible barrier.

Such an Array was an array within an array, someone had trapped Huo Tianqian inside!

Chu Ge’s frown deepened, he looked around, and besides a thin layer of fog, there was nothing to be seen, let alone a person.
