At this moment, the howling wind became stronger. Under the overcast sky, the whole garden fell into darkness.
Liam and his companion's faces changed when they saw what had happened.
"W-what's going on?"
"The sky is completely overcast!"
"That guy is playing tricks on us!" "Hey, stop playing tricks. I'm telling you, your dirty tricks won't scare us!" Liam took the lead and shouted at Fade.
Fade, however, just glanced at them and ignored them. He shot several rounds of black Qi energy with both hands. The Qi energy surged and spread quickly through the air. Then, it turned into a black mist, quickly enveloping the entire cemetery.
The black mist pervaded the air and soon, Liam and the others could no longer see what was happening around them.
They could only hear the wind blowing around and the dark clouds getting thicker. The whole sky seemed to collapse in the fierce
wind.
A sense of oppression that had never been felt before caused Liam and other people's faces to become gloomy and nervous.
The two girls said nervously, "What's happening? Is there really a ghost?"
The words made Liam and the others tremble, and they involuntarily began to think of stories with demons and ghosts.
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. Their legs trembled. They stood on the ground and didn't dare to move anymore.
Seeing this, Liam took a deep breath, snorted, and said disdainfully, "There are no ghosts in this world. You are scaring yourself."
"T-then, what's going on now?" a girl asked.
Liam said, "This is just a magic trick. They created some smoke and blew some air. Let's go. As long as we walk out of the smoke, we will be fine."
After that, Liam took the lead and went forward. Although his companions behind him were nervous, they followed him, one by one.
Liam took the lead, identified a direction, and walked straight forward.
They were surrounded by a hazy black fog. If it weren't for the occasional tombstone as reference, they wouldn't have known whether they were moving or not.
However, after walking for more than ten minutes, they realised that they were still surrounded by black fog. They couldn't see what was going on outside at all, let alone get out.
Suddenly, the two nervous girls couldn't help but ask again.
"We've been walking for so long, but why haven't we gotten out yet?"
"Yeah, the cemetery is not that big!"
"It can't be. Is it really a paranormal event? I don't think a trick can be executed on such a large scale!"
When Liam, who was leading the way, heard this, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think too much. There are no ghosts or paranormal activities in this world. This is just some trick that kid is playing. As long as we continue to walk straight, we will surely get out."
As he spoke, Liam continued to move forward. But after a short while, he stopped and froze on the spot.
Seeing this, his companions behind him couldn't help but get curious and ask, "Liam, what's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"
Liam did not speak. The people behind him could only see his wide back suddenly begin to tremble slightly.
Curious, someone walked to Liam's side and looked in front of him.
When he saw what Liam saw, he was also shocked and he exclaimed, "H-how could this be possible?"
Then, he felt the soil under his feet move.
He looked down and saw a decayed hand suddenly stretch out from the soil next to the broken tombstone. The flesh and blood was rotten, full of maggots, and even through there was flesh and blood, he could see the white bones within.
The big rotten hand reached out of the ground as if there was a force pulling it out.
More parts of the arm stretched out, including the forearm, elbow, and shoulder. Then, a rotten head with a black skull came out of the earth.
The corpse, emitting a rotten breath, blew black fog out and pounced at Liam with a deep and low groan, "You disturbed my sleep. I'm going to kill you!"
At the same moment, from the surrounding tombstones came sounds of corpses breaking out of their graves, one after another.
"Ignorant human, you have tarnished our honour. I want you to pay the price!"
"Who destroyed my grave? I want revenge!"
Liam turned his head and looked around, only to find that he and his companions had been surrounded by decayed corpses.
Suddenly, he couldn't stand it anymore. He ran away in horror and kept shouting, "Ghost, don't kill me, don't..."
Liam was terrified. His companions had long been scared out of their wits. Like headless flies, they fled like crazy.
However, no matter how they fled, they found it impossible to escape the thick black fog.
The decaying bodies who were chasing after them knocked them down and tore their flesh off piece by piece with sharp claws of bones. They ate their flesh bit by bit with their mouths.
Unable to withstand the shocking fear, the group of people all fainted.
