Chapter 239: Chapter 230: Mo Family Village (4400 words)_2

“It’s still not safe,” Fang Zun turned around, his hair graying, but his features chiseled.

He shook his head, “The woman with the lantern is still in that forest; she was last seen ten minutes ago.”

Zhang Xiaomo clicked her tongue, “That woman must have been dead for over eight hundred years, it’s unimaginable.”

Fang Zun nodded, “Her condition is very unstable. If it’s the white lantern state, I believe I have a chance at subduing her. But I can’t guarantee…”

“Look,” Yuan Dingzhou was peering through a crack in the door, looking out, suddenly interrupting Fang Zun’s words.

Everyone crowded around to see a middle-aged man in a black jacket, walking briskly towards the forest, seemingly ready to cross the small woods towards the road leading out of the village.

“Isn’t that Li Meng?” Zhang Xiaomo wondered aloud.

“Li Meng and Jiang Yaofei are on the same team, trapped not far from us, probably hiding in some farmhouse,” said Zhang Di.

“What is he trying to do?” Yuan Dingzhou asked with a suspicious expression.

“Maybe… he can’t bear it anymore, he wants to make a break for it,” said Fang Zun in a low tone, seemingly not optimistic about Li Meng’s action.

“Won’t Jiang Yaofei stop that guy?” Zhang Xiaomo tapped her foot lightly, her slender fingers balled into fists, watching the man in the jacket approach the forest.

“Perhaps they can’t be stopped, their food probably ran out two weeks ago. If it weren’t for some non-perishable food in the nearby farmhouses, they couldn’t have lasted until now,” Zhang Di analyzed.

Just then, the man in the jacket, Li Meng, fully entered the forest. However, the trees in the small woods were sparse and not very lush, so everyone’s view was not too obstructed and they could still clearly see the other’s figure.

Not long after Li Meng entered the forest, a woman in an ancient white dress appeared with an extremely pale face, pale as if she were a porcelain doll, holding a white lantern, approaching where Li Meng was.

The woman walked very slowly, but she seemed to float off the ground, quickly approaching Li Meng.

In Li Meng’s eyes, no matter which way he went, he couldn’t avoid encountering the woman head-on.

“Her lantern is white; maybe Li Meng has a chance,” Yuan Dingzhou, who was watching through the crack, said.

The others didn’t speak, each focusing intently, hoping Li Meng could leave Mo Family Village before everyone else and send a message outside.

Li Meng quickly took out his magnetic knife, but instead of approaching and attacking, he hid the knife behind his back, keeping it hidden. As the Lantern Woman approached, he began to engage her in conversation.

They were too far away to hear what the two were saying, but it seemed the conversation was going smoothly.

“Maybe, there’s really a chance!” Fang Zun also spoke up, his eyes lighting up slightly, looking as if he was ready to give it a try afterward.

The Lantern Woman’s body seemed very stiff, each movement wooden. After interacting briefly with the strangeness, the woman turned and took a few steps in another direction.

Li Meng visibly relaxed, hiding the magnetic knife in his sleeve, bowing slightly. Once the Lantern Woman walked to the side, he turned around, drew the knife from his sleeve, and aimed at the woman’s back.

“That idiot, he had his chance to run! What is he doing?” Fang Zun gritted his teeth.

“Maybe he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of her?” Zhang Xiaomo said.

“He can’t get rid of her, none of us can,” Zhang Di shook his head, “We have only to wait for Uncle Guo.”

“This kid must be crazy,” Yuan Dingzhou also said: “If Old Guo doesn’t know about this place, now would have been the best time for Li Meng to run through the woods and inform Old Guo of our plight so he can come rescue us.”

At that moment, Li Meng seemed to finally give up on the idea of a sneak attack, put away his magnetic knife again, turned around, and began to move quickly in the other direction.

“Good, at least he didn’t do something stupid,” Fang Zun nodded.

“No, look,” said Zhang Di, “Look at that Lantern Woman, it’s bad!”

Everyone immediately looked back and saw the Lantern Woman, who was about to leave, but suddenly halted, her back turned in the direction Li Meng was leaving.

She stood still with the lantern in hand, and the lantern, which had been white, was slowly changing color, from light white to bloody red.

In just a few seconds, the white lantern in her hand had completely turned red, casting an unnaturally bright, blood-drenched hue.

Li Meng, who had started leaving, suddenly looked back, then began to run, charging towards the end of the woods.

“Ah!”

A piercing scream shattered the deadly silence of the land, coming from the woman now holding the red lantern.

The woman quickly turned around, the red lantern in her hand floating forwards as if pulled by some force, rapidly moving towards the fleeing Li Meng.

Her speed was like the wind, incomparable to any normal human’s run. The red figure chased after the now-blurry Li Meng and soon vanished from sight.

Fang Zun turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaomo, Yuan Dingzhou also looked back at Zhang Di and then at Fang Zun, the four exchanging glances, their faces filled with horror.

About six seconds later, a blood-curdling scream echoed from the forest.

Everyone shuddered, their expressions bitter.

With all his might, Li Meng could only last six seconds,” Yuan Dingzhou said with an agonized expression.

Within less than a minute, Li Meng’s figure reappeared, but his steps were unsteady, as if he were drunk or mindlessly walking back. He emerged from the woods and stood swaying by the roadside.
