As Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and the others watched, she pointed at the ghost baby with a human face some distance behind her, "I... I just checked the ghost baby with a human face... and found a word carved behind its ear, like a tattoo..."

"Check behind the ears? Sister Li, you are so brave!"

Hearing this, Liu Mengying couldn't help but be surprised, because Li Shuhong looked weak and fragile, and she didn't expect her to be so brave.

"My father is a doctor, albeit a very basic one. When I was a child, I learned some medical knowledge from him. He taught me that if I wanted to become a doctor, I must overcome my fear of corpses and blood..."

“That’s why I mustered up the courage to check…”

Li Shuhong explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"Character………."

Ye Fan continued, frowning slightly, "Shuhong, what are the words behind the ear of the human-faced ghost baby?"

"It's Jiujiujiu, it looks like a number!"

After these words came out, even Ye Fan frowned.

"Number... Li girl, you... you don't mean to say that there are probably 998 more human-faced ghost babies like the one just now?"

Boss Pan was frightened by Li Shuhong's words and his voice trembled a little, because this human-faced ghost baby was already weird enough. If it weren't for Ye Fan and Liu Mengying, their entire caravan would have been wiped out...

While Boss Pan was speaking, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying had already quickly run to the corpse of the human-faced ghost baby and started to check it out. When they saw the "Jiujiujiu" tattoo behind the ear of the human-faced ghost baby, they both frowned.

"Li... Li girl, don't tell anyone else about the number of the human-faced ghost baby!"

At this time, Boss Pan also shrank his body and walked behind Ye Fan. He half tilted his head and squinted his eyes to look at the corpse of the human-faced ghost baby. After seeing the "Jiujiujiu" tattoo, his face suddenly turned pale. He whispered to Li Shuhong tremblingly.

After Ye Fan and Liu Mengying stood up, Boss Pan didn't dare to look at the corpse of the human-faced ghost baby for a second time. He kicked it directly into the weeds, then told his men to prepare the supplies and continue on their way...

The people in the caravan were also frightened by the human-faced ghost baby just now. They had long wanted to leave here. After hearing what Boss Pan said, they moved quickly, but they were quite panicked. Some people's hands were shaking when they were holding things...

…………

For the rest of the day, Ye Fan and his crew did not encounter any monsters. They only encountered some poisonous snakes and insects occasionally, but they were not a big deal. This caravan was obviously not on a long journey for the first time, and they had quite skilled ways to deal with them...

Ye Fan did not interrupt his cultivation because of the appearance of the human-faced ghost baby, but his cultivation was not as exhausting as it was a few days ago. Instead, he was reserved and studied the profound patterns in his spare time...

When Liu Mengying is not practicing, she paints... Especially the scenes where she encounters the ghost baby with a human face...

..........

The night falls,

Ye Fan and his group set up camp as usual, but compared to before, the caravan's tents were much closer to Ye Fan and Liu Mengying's tents... Especially Boss Pan, whose tent was the closest to Ye Fan...

Obviously, the incident of the human-faced ghost baby today really scared them!

"After nightfall, try to stay in the camp. If you really need to go out, it's best to go together!"

"And if you hear any strange noises, don't go and look out of curiosity!"

After Ye Fan finished speaking to the caravan members who were all looking confused, he walked towards the camp and pasted talismans on the stones, trees and other places around the camp.

“Talisman…Talisman?!”

"Such a young talisman master?!"

Seeing this, many people in the caravan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Okay, let's all go to sleep. We need energy to travel during the day!"

.........

The whole night was quite peaceful. No strange beasts attacked the camp, and there was not even a howl.

At noon the next day,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying slept well, but most of the people in the caravan were listless because they were too scared to sleep, especially Boss Pan and Li Shuhong, who knew the numbers on the human-faced ghost babies...

"Sister Li, you don't have to be so nervous. Maybe the 'Jiujiujiu' tattoo on the human-faced ghost baby's body doesn't refer to a number, but just a random name!"

Liu Mengying, who was walking beside Li Shuhong, couldn't help but comfort Li Shuhong.

"Little Bean Sprout, more than 900 human-faced ghost babies are nothing..."

Ye Fan continued, "The troublemaker might be the guy who carved the words behind the human-faced ghost baby's ear... After all, that 'Jiujiujiu' tattoo doesn't look like it will grow like that on its own..."

"Big brother!"

Liu Mengying was speechless when she saw Li Shuhong and Boss Pan tremble with fear after hearing Ye Fan's words.

"I am telling the truth!"

Ye Fan spread his hands, "That human-faced ghost baby might be raised by someone or some monster in this Ailao Forest..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, a burst of suppressed crying suddenly came from the surrounding dense forest in the distance.

"what!"

"what!"

"Ah! Help!"

"Damn it, I was caught by a monster!"

"Don't panic, it's me!"

"Fuck you, why are you hugging me?!"

..........

Hearing this sound, the caravan members, who were already frightened, suddenly became confused. Some hugged each other, some pushed each other and screamed.

"Zhang... Young Master Zhang San, is it... a ghost baby with a human face?"

Boss Pan asked Ye Fan with a pale face.

"Probably not!"

Ye Fan frowned slightly. "The crying sound coming from far ahead is obviously different from the cry of the human-faced ghost baby before... I just don't know if the cry of the human-faced ghost baby is the same!"

"Boss, why don't we go back? We won't make any more money!"

A young man walked up to Boss Pan, trembling, and spoke.

"I...I want to go home too!"

"Money... It's not necessary to make this much money... Qinhuai City's grand event happens once every three years..."

"I...I also think..."

..........

After the first one, many people in the caravan echoed it. Obviously, they were really scared.

"I...I understand everyone's feelings!"

"Can………"

Boss Pan stepped forward and said, "But this Qinhuai City event is too important to our company... After the company was robbed last time, the company's operations have been in trouble... If we don't make money this time, the company will be owned by someone else when we return... Da Yazi's pension, the brothers' medical expenses... I'm afraid... "

"And... we are already deep in the Ailao Forest. Even if we go back... can we really return safely with just a few of us?"

After Boss Pan finished speaking, everyone, including him, turned their eyes to Ye Fan.
