Chapter 35

At night, the forest was filled with ghostly howls and wails. The howling of wolves, the roaring of tigers, the snarling of jackals, and the roaring of leopards echoed endlessly—the sounds alone were enough to terrify anyone. Yet the most spine-chilling sounds were not these, but rather the cries of infants, the soft murmurs of beauties, and the agonizing screams of men. "Changqing, I think I heard an infant crying. Should we go take a look?" Unable to sleep, Nalan Yanran crawled out of her tent and looked at Gu Changqing, who had simply laid out a makeshift bed on the ground outside her tent to sleep."Let me tell you a story first. Legend has it that a long time ago, a young girl lost her way in the forest..." With that, Gu Changqing proceeded to tell Nalan Yanran a tale about a monster that mimicked the cry of an infant to lure passing maidens in, only to devour them alive.Still imitating the appearance and voice of a young girl, she continued to inhale.Luring passing men in, only to devour them alive.And she told the story of how a monster would mimic a man's appearance and voice, infiltrate an adventure mercenary group in the forest, and devour every single person in the entire mercenary group alive. Nalan Yanran was so terrified that goosebumps broke out all over her body; she didn't dare sleep alone at all, and the urge to pee had been scared right out of her.
