879 Fools —-2



Su Qian's pupils contracted but she still nodded and agreed with Su Qingzhao since this matter was indeed serious, she could not leave the rest of the people alone in the forest alone. What if the thing which caused this mess was running after Rong Si? If she was to meet with the rest of the group, doesn't that mean that they all will die like the crew? 

Qin Lu did not wish to stay at the shore alone which was why he too agreed with Su Qian and Su Qingzhao's suggestion, even though he wished to go back home with no motorboat working there was absolutely no way for him to return!

On the other side, Luo Shan and the rest of the group arrived at a small village which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The huts which were built were now lying on the ground in a crumpled mess while tall wooden statues were placed in front of each house, on each statue a scary beast was carved with bead-like eyes and sharp teeth. 

" Woah," Luo Shan was in awe as he looked at the old village and then turned to look at the huge wooden platform where a skeleton was tied with two rotting benches on the side and then clapped his hands. " Don't tell me that we stumbled on something ancient? This is so cool." 

As he spoke, he took out his phone and started to click pictures like crazy. He glanced at Zou Shen who looked just as excited as he too took a quick look around the village and then started to film it with his phone. 

" I heard that this place is supposed to be super lucky," as Huo Lan looked at the village which was scattered all over the place her eyes flickered, and her fingers traced the bracelet which was sitting on her wrist as she turned to look at Luo Shan and then rest before she said, " Who knows maybe if we were to take something from this place, we might end up getting more fortunate?" 

Her words indeed made sense which was why Luo Shan who was the closest to the rubble which was lying next to a house pulled out a necklace which had a navy blue stone attached to a thick root-like string. 

" I will keep this then, not only does it look pretty good, but it also seems like if I sell it off, it will fetch a lot of money." Luo Shan spoke as he picked up the necklace and then before anyone could stop him, he placed it on his neck. 

" Ah Shan what are you doing there? Just let that thing go and throw it down who knows where it came from, are you not scared of putting something dirty on your neck?" Ma Jiu scolded Luo Shan who was now wearing the pendant on his neck and frowned. Even though they were not as rich as the others they were still a family who hailed from a decent background, what was this boy doing wearing something that he found from a pile of rubble? And that too just because that Huo Lan said that the things found in this place might bring them a fortune, just how deep was his trust in that woman?

Madam Ma was not the only one who was stunned by Luo Shan's trust in that Huo girl, Yang Yiling was just as speechless, one had to say that this nephew of Ma Jiu was indeed brainless! 

Su Qingzhao and Qin Lu were quick on their feet and thus they arrived in the village in no time, when Qin Lu saw Luo Shan wearing that pendant that he was wearing in his premonition, all the blood from his face fell as he clutched Su Qingzhao's arm which made the latter look down at the hand which was holding him before raising his head and looking at Qin Lu who was shivering once again," What is the matter with you now?" 

Why was he making a scene all of a sudden, they needed to go and tell others what was going on on this island. 

Qin Lu did not answer, he looked at Luo Shan whose face was slowly getting dazed as he looked down at the rubble. Because it was covered in fallen leaves and mud and whatnot, Luo Shan did not see that the pendant which he was holding was being tightly clutched in the hands of a bony hand which did not have even the slightest bit of flesh on it. 

He grabbed Su Qingzhao and then pulled him back as he shouted, " Run…Run away from him!" 

Ma Jiu and the rest turned to look at Qin Lu who was screaming and then turned to look at Luo Shan who was now looking at the horizon with a dazed look on his face, as his lips curled up into an eerie smile which made everyone shiver. 

Even though Ma Jiu felt that something was wrong with Luo Shan, she could not stop herself from rushing towards him after all he was her nephew but she was stopped by Yang Yiling who caught her wrist and pulled her back. Just now she saw Huo Lan taking more than one step away from Luo Shan and thus she knew that whatever Qin Lu was at, was indeed correct. 

Maybe it was because she was rather desperate to stop Ma Jiu but the latter could not free herself from Yang Yiling's grip who looked at her and shook her head as if telling her not to go there. 

" I can't just leave him alone!" Ma Jiu however did not stop her struggle as she shook Yang Yiling's hand off her and rushed towards Luo Shan, after all, this was her nephew—— she had watched him grow how can she not care for him? 

She did not think to stop and simply rushed towards Luo Shan, only for Qin Lu to scream as he trembled, " You will die…you will die!" Before he could repeat it once again, Luo Shan who was standing silently turned to look at Ma Jiu and before the latter could do anything, he grinned sinisterly just in time for his body to start elongating as he turned into that skeleton figure with golden eyes that Qin Lu saw in his mind and swiped his long fingers at Ma Jiu.
