Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"There's no way I'm going back! I want to go to Qinhuai City!"

Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Ye Fan spoke quickly.

"I...everyone listen to me...with Young Master Zhang San here, there will definitely be no problem!"

Boss Pan knew that his words would not give the caravan much courage, so he pulled Ye Fan along. He looked at Ye Fan and said, "Young Master Zhang San, let me tell you the truth. If this trip to Qinhuai City goes smoothly, I can make a lot of money. If you lead us out of this Ailao Forest, I will give you half of the money. How about that? I promise that I will never cheat you. You can hire the best accountant to check the accounts!"

“I’m not interested in money!”

Ye Fan waved his hand, "But I also happen to be going to Qinhuai City. If you want to follow me, just follow me. Don't run around. Otherwise, if you die, I can't do anything about it!"

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang San!"

Hearing this, Boss Pan's brows immediately lit up with joy, and the panicked people in the caravan gradually calmed down.

"Let's go!"

Ye Fan said this, and took the lead to walk forward.

...........

"Woo!"

"beep!"

"Buzz!"

"Haha~"

"Ah! Clang!"

"Quack quack!"

...........

Ye Fan and his group continued to move forward. More strange sounds were heard from the dense forest ahead, including the sound of a baby crying, roaring, the sound of metal clashing, and some strange sounds that were difficult to describe.

"Brother, what kind of strange noises are these? It makes me feel uncomfortable... My head is a little confused and I feel like hitting someone!"

Liu Mengying listened to the mixed sounds coming from the dense forest and couldn't help but frown and speak.

"Little Bean Sprout, be careful, there is something strange about this sound, it will interfere with the circulation of the profound energy in your body!"

Ye Fan turned his head and found that almost everyone in the caravan behind him had an irritable look on their faces. Some were dizzy and walked aimlessly, bumping into others and almost getting into fights. However, those who had no Xuan Qi cultivation were not affected much, but were quite afraid of the noises coming from the surroundings.

"Hey, all of you suppress the profound energy in your bodies and don't be disturbed by the noises around you!"

Although Ye Fan's voice was not loud, everyone in the caravan heard it clearly. They all did as he asked, and the inexplicable irritation in their hearts immediately subsided a lot.

Soon, Ye Fan and his group started moving again. As they moved forward, the various noises around them rose and fell, sometimes louder and sometimes softer, but finally they gradually weakened and disappeared.

"By the way, Sister Li, what is the Qinhuai City event you guys talked about all the way here?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was quite dull, Liu Mengying couldn't help but speak up. Of course, this was also a topic that interested her, because she and Ye Fan were also going to Qinhuai City next... Both of them liked to watch the fun...

"Uh...it's a vocal competition!"

"Qinhuai City holds a vocal competition every three years, with generous rewards. Almost all the music in Mingyuan Empire will participate... and for some reason, this time it is unprecedentedly grand... Many business travelers, like us, want to bring some local specialties with them, ready to make a fortune..."

Li Shuhong quickly explained to Liu Mengying.

"So there will be a lot of interesting shows and all kinds of delicious food!"

Hearing this, Liu Mengying's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Woo!~"

"Hahaha~!"

“Ga ga ga~!”

"Cang! Cang!"

....

At this time, another suppressed and unpleasant sound was heard, and it was quite close.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Ye Fan stop, Liu Mengying couldn't help but ask.

"Little Bean Sprout, have you noticed that the weird and unpleasant sounds coming from the dense forest are all intermittent... and I couldn't hear the source of the sound before, it felt like it was coming from all directions. After walking here, I can roughly hear the source of the sound just now!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan pointed to the dense forest filled with miasma ahead.

"Indeed!"

Liu Mengying nodded, "Big brother, are you planning to go over and take a look?"

"Wherever Young Master Zhang San goes, we will go!"

As soon as Liu Mengying finished speaking, Boss Pan's voice rang out.

Afterwards, Ye Fan and his group slightly changed direction and walked towards the direction where the strange and unpleasant sound came from.

Soon, they came to a place full of ruins.

"Brother...is this place...a wealthy family secluded in the forest? It seems like no one has been here for a long, long time!"

Liu Mengying looked at the large ruins of a house covered with vines and moss not far ahead and spoke.

"It smells of blood, so be careful!"

"what!"

Before a middle-aged man in the caravan could finish his words, a scream rang out.

Everyone hurried over, and when they saw the scene in front of them, many people immediately gasped, because what appeared before their eyes was a pile of bones... On top of the bones were fresh corpses of wolves, bears, tigers, leopards, and birds...

"Woo!"

"Huh! Huh!"

....

At this time, there was another sound of a baby crying, followed by the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air.

Ye Fan frowned slightly, because the sound just made was exactly a series of golden Xuanqi long arrows and rotating Xuanqi flying knives.

"Buzz! Clang!"

Ye Fan stretched out his hand and slapped the long arrow shot at him, while Liu Mengying fired a stream of fire attributed profound energy to defeat the flying knife, and everyone in the caravan jumped to avoid it...

After defeating the Xuanqi Flying Knife, Liu Mengying's figure flashed and she quickly went to the place where the Xuanqi Flying Knife came from, and Ye Fan followed closely behind.

"Brother, there is no one here? Is it the wind?"

Liu Mengying looked around and was stunned.

"This place... the wind blowing through these ruins produced those scary baby crying sounds... not only that, but those metallic sounds and roaring sounds... were also caused by the wind blowing through the structure of the ruins, thus sending out the mysterious arrows and flying knives..."

"Because of the wind that blew by chance... No wonder those random noises just now were intermittent... There was no pattern..."

As Ye Fan was muttering, a gust of wind blew by, and a variety of strange noises rang out again.

"Woo!~"

"Hahaha~!"

“Ga ga ga~!”

.........

Liu Mengying circulated the fire-attributed Xuan Qi and quickly defeated the long golden Xuan Qi arrows that shot out from the ruins. However, the people in the caravan were affected by the sound, and their Xuan Qi moved strangely. Many people's eyes turned red and they started to fight wildly.

Seeing this, Ye Fan's figure flashed, and the mysterious energy emerged in his hand, and he quickly touched the people in the caravan. In a few breaths, the chaotic caravan calmed down...

"Brother, those mysterious arrows and flying knives are because there are a bunch of skulls placed in these ruins..."

At this time, Liu Mengying, who had defeated many Xuanqi arrows again, shouted to Ye Fan.
