42 -40: Stone Tablet Road Signs
Upon hearing Su Yu saying this, Ma Ziye knew that he was trying to divert the conversation, but his words just so happen to hit her taste buds.
She immediately nodded, “That sounds about right.
Indeed, it’s a disgustingly ugly face.”
Zhang Zhongmou was taken aback, almost on the verge of tears, wondering how his handsome face could gross them out.
Meanwhile, Su Yu and Ma Ziye were seriously critiquing him.
His face filled with frustration, he was planning his comeback when suddenly the usually silent Lin Shi blurted out, “Zhang Zhongmou, it’s two against one.
Can’t beat them all by yourself.”
When Lin Shi chose to speak it was always astounding, causing Su Yu and Ma Ziyue to flush instantly.
Zhang Zhongmou was startled, and then he burst out laughing, nodding repeatedly, “Exactly, I’ll shut up.
Mr.
Lin; ‘old ginger is spicier,’ indeed!” Out of excitement, he patted Lin Shi’s shoulder heavily, a gesture which meant that he now regarded him as a buddy.
Lin Shi gave a faint smile, then closed his mouth again.
Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile, not expecting that everyone would start joking about him and Ziye.
Su Yun might be in for trouble if she finds out.
Turning to look at Ma Ziye, he found her cheeks burning as she looked back at him.
Their eyes met briefly before they quickly looked away, leaving Ma Ziye with an expression of bashfulness.
“Ziye…
could she actually have feelings for me?” Su had this strange thought suddenly then quickly denied it thinking it was highly unlikely.
She was probably just acting shy due to her nature as a young girl, nothing more.
Thinking of this, Su turned his gaze to Ning Yan who was in the middle of the group.
From his angle, he could only see her back.
Without a doubt, Ning Yan was very beautiful from every angle – a recognized class beau, or rather, in Su’s opinion, a school beau.
Ning Yan is beautiful, but she is offbeat.
Before, in class, I only noticed that she was quiet and good at studying.
But after entering this forest…
she did join the team, but it always seemed as if she was sleepwalking.
If I remember correctly, she never killed a monster along the way.
What is the reason for this?” As Su pondered, he remembered how he accidentally hurled a stick at her arm while trying to save her.
He saw a hint of hate in her eyes.
Dismay surged through him, and Su rubbed his hair, feeling somewhat depressed.
The group had already walked a fair way through the lovely forest, in the coolness of the morning.
The police station behind them was already out of sight.
Qin Jiagui was still marking distinctive signs on noticeable tree trunks every now and then.
He was marking a path back, preparing for the worst-case scenario.
The journey was swift and straightforward, so far they hadn’t encountered a single monster.
Occasionally, they could faintly hear the roar of terrible monsters in the distance.
Albeit due to the distance, it made the sounds seem almost non-existent unless one was specifically listening for them.
“Hey?
Look!” Zhao Shichang who was leading the way suddenly pointed ahead.
All eyes followed, where a stone tablet stood about twenty meters away.
The tablet was slightly off balance and moss-covered, indicating that it had withstood the elements for a long time.
Upon getting closer, they discovered an arrow carved into the tablet.
“This…
Could this be a signpost?” Qin Jiagui exclaimed excitedly.
He quickly cleared off the moss, revealing the clearly engraved arrow,straight ahead.
Zhao Shichang said excitedly: “Doesn’t this mean we are on the right path?
Since this guidepost has been placed here, isn’t it certain that there’s something up ahead?
Maybe it’s the exit?”
Qin Jiagui agreed, “Yes, there’s got to be something, or else this meaningless stone tablet wouldn’t be here.
Let’s go, everyone speed up and we shall see.”
Everyone’s spirits were lifted.
Perhaps this forest’s exit was the destination the arrow had indicated?
Regardless, it gave them all a sense of hope.
Even though everyone was a bit weary, their spirits were reignited and they sped up their pace.
Ding Shan, being a child, was exhausted from walking before.
Seeing this, Zhou Birong, who was beside her, decided to give her a piggyback ride.
Carrying another person was not easy, especially since Ding Shan was about seven or eight years old.
After about awhile, she was panting heavily
Upon seeing this, Su Yu went up to them, offering to help and said, “I’ll take over.”
Zhou Birong looked at him gratefully as she handed Ding Shan over.
Ding Shan blushed and said softly, “Big Brother, I’m sorry.
I am such a burden.”
Su Yu chuckled, “You’re just a kid.
It’s completely normal.” He gave Ding Shan’s head a quick pat, handed his backpack over to Zhang Zhongmou, and hoisted Ding Shan onto his back.
With his special power circulating within him, and having reached second-level Black Iron Warrior, carrying Ding Shan around was still easy for him.
Li Dong and others glanced at Ding Shan, with a silent feeling bubbling up that carrying a child around was a burden.
Of course, no one spoke of it out loud, as long as they didn’t have to carry her.
They hurried on, and still, the countless tall trees stretching out in front didn’t seem to end.
The vastness of the forest seemed boundless, and their excitement gradually died down and their pace slowed.
Just as Qin Jiagui opened his mouth to utter some encouraging words to spur the group on, a deafening rumble came from the distant sky.
This ominous sound was terrifying and seemed to shake the entire earth.
Everyone stopped in shock.
Then, a second rumble sounded, this time closer than the first.
As the second rumble echoed, Su Yu and others looked up, witnessing an unforgettable sight.
In the turbulent dark clouds in the sky, a foot as large as a mountain suddenly fell, ripping through the clouds and descending heavily onto the ground.
Although the landing spot was over a hundred zhang (1 zhang = 10 feet) away from them, the wave of air it stirred up was like a fierce wind, blowing them tumbling into disarray.
They all felt like leaves in a storm, at the mercy of the wind.
The terrifying scene, shaking and trembling, felt like the end of the world had suddenly arrived.

And so forth, no going back on my word.)
