Chapter 415: The Thoughts of The Fox Demon

“Have mercy! Please spare me!”

At this moment, everyone was filled with regret.

If they had listened to Uncle Liu’s words, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.

However, in the face of everyone’s pleas, the group of ghosts did not pay any attention to them.

Some of the ghosts approaching the group of young men raised their sharp claws and opened their bloody mouths, pouncing on the men closest to them.

“Ah!”

A heart-wrenching scream rang out, and almost the entire mountain forest could hear that terrifying howl.

At this very moment, somewhere in the mountain forest, a group of villagers who entered vaguely heard a scream.

“Silence!”

The leading Wang clan guard raised his hand, indicating for the crowd to keep quiet.

“Ah!”

The screams came again. The voice was so shrill that it made one’s hair stand on end, and their heart could not help but tighten.

“Not good! I’m afraid something has happened!”

The consecutive screams made everyone’s hearts skip a beat.

“Let’s go over quickly!”

Some people were anxious and wanted to go and save the children immediately, but some were afraid and wanted to escape.

“There, there is indeed something dirty in this mountain. H-how can we be a match for that thing?”

“What the hell are you talking about? The children are in danger!”

“That’s not my child. What does it have to do with me?”

“You!”

Even before they met with any danger, the search team had already started to have conflicts.

Although they had heard there were ghosts in the mountain before they entered, the fear in their hearts was once again stimulated when they actually faced it. It was magnified infinitely.

“What are you guys doing? Is this the time to quarrel?

“The children are in danger. Hurry up and go save them!”

The Wang family patriarch, who was slightly behind, caught up.

With his words, the villagers immediately fell silent. However, many of them didn’t take any action.

The Wang family patriarch frowned slightly, but he could understand these people.

In the past, the village had been invaded by evil spirits, and many people’s fear of those things had almost seeped into their bones.

Forcing them to fight against those things was almost the same as forcing them to die.

The Wang family patriarch looked at the villagers divided into two groups.

Those willing to go to the rescue, other than the guards he brought, were only the parents of the children who entered the mountain.

There were only a few dozen people.

How could they fight against evil spirits with such little people?

His expression was a little dark, but he quickly restrained himself. He took a deep breath and walked to the front of the crowd that wanted to retreat.

“Fellow villagers,” The Wang family patriarch looked at the crowd with a trace of sadness.

“Could it be that you are willing to watch those children who have grown up under your eyes suffer?

“You’re all parents. Can you just sit by and do nothing?

“We’re in the mountains today, but what about tomorrow? What if that thing goes to the village tomorrow? Don’t tell me that when the time comes, you’ll also hope others will turn a blind eye to you?”

Many people lowered their heads when they heard this.

Some villagers standing behind the Wang family patriarch to join the rescue team could not help but step forward.

“Old Fang, your nephew is also in the mountains. If you want to see him carried home, you could head back!”

“Let’s go! If they don’t want to go, so be it. At worst, I’ll risk my life!”

The dozens of people eager to save the children didn’t want to waste their rescue time with a group of heartless people.

They immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the sound.

The Wang family patriarch looked at the crowd and did not say anything. He turned around and followed.

At this time, among the hesitating group of people, someone weakly said, “I, I think Patriarch Wang is right. That thing is in the mountains now, but who can guarantee it will stay in the mountains forever?”

The crowd looked at each other.

That’s right. Since that thing was beside their village, who could guarantee it wouldn’t run into the village?

Moreover, the people in danger was not a stranger. They were children that they had watched grow up!

Perhaps those children were not directly related to them, and some were not even related to them.

However, this did not change the fact that they had watched the children grow up. Many of them were even playmates of their own children.

Could they sit by and do nothing about this?

“We have to go help!” Someone raised his fist and stood out.

Was he afraid of ghosts?

He was afraid.

However, he was even more afraid that after he escaped, he would question himself in his heart. Why did he run back without doing anything?

“Well said! They need us!”

With someone leading the way, more people soon joined in. However, there were still voices of opposition.

“If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I don’t want to go and die!”

“Yeah, haven’t you seen the abilities of those things? Old Zhang’s family was killed by those things!”

Someone recalled the tragedy in the village and felt his hair stand on end. The fear on his face showed how deep the trauma that had happened in the past had left on him.

When the past was brought up, some people preparing to take action hesitated again.

The person who had just said he wanted to help looked at the remaining few hundred villagers who were still hesitating. A flash of determination appeared in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and stood in front of the crowd again, shouting, “Actually, it’s not that we don’t have any hope!”

The people who stayed here knew how terrifying those things were.

To be able to say the word “hope” had indeed attracted the attention of many.

“What hope?”

Almost everyone was looking at the middle-aged man.
