If he was the only one who fell asleep, it wouldn’t have been strange.
But the entire carriage, everyone fell asleep, that definitely meant trouble. Not to mention the fact that Song Zhi, the carriage driver, was also asleep. The carriage had stopped at some unknown point, and Su Nan, not having the time for more than a quick thought, immediately pushed Cheng Dao, who was closest to him.
“Wake up! Wake up quickly!”
However, Cheng Dao was sound asleep, and despite Su Nan’s vigorous shaking he did not wake up.
Su Nan quickly tried shaking Ji Changfeng as well.
Fortunately, under his vigorous shaking, Ji Changfeng groggily opened his eyes.
“What’s the matter?” Ji Changfeng muttered subconsciously.
“There’s been an accident! Everyone has fallen asleep,” Su Nan said urgently. “What!” Upon hearing this, Ji Changfeng was instantly alert.
He glanced around, and noticing that the other three, including Cheng Dao were still unconscious, he movedover and slapped each one on the face. JiChangfeng’s slaps were not light, but Cheng Dao showed no signs of waking
Once again, Ji Changfeng moved over to Miao Hong and slapped him, but the result was still the same.
Without wasting any more time, Ji Changfeng exited the carriage and approached Song Zhi, who was driving the carriage, and slapped him as well. Each of the three people had been slapped hard by Ji Changfeng.
Yet, the outcome made both Su Nan and Ji Changfeng feel disheartened; not a single one of them woke up.
If it were not for their steady breathing, Su Nan might have thought that all three of them were dead.
“Senior, what exactly is going on?” Su Nan asked, his expression tense. Unfortunately, he had no opportunity for foreknowledge at the moment. Otherwise, he could have known immediately what had happened if he had foreknowledge.
Ji Changfeng had a grim look on his face. It was clear that he had not expected such a thing to happen.
He did not answer Su Nan immediately but instead looked around.
Su Nan, too, began to carefully observe his surroundings. Previously, he had been too focused on trying to wake the others and had not had the time to observe.
It was only upon looking around that he realized they had ended up in a marketplace, with people hustling and bustling around on the streets and vendors selling various commodities on both sides.
“Where are we?” Su Nan asked, more incredulous. The current situation was utterly strange.
After a sweeping glance around, Ji Changfeng thought for a moment and said
in a grave voice, “We are in danger. This is Tiger Roar Town!”
“Tiger Roar Town?”
Su Nan shuddered. His heart seemed to have plummeted to the depths.
Tiger Roar Town, the third of the Three Dangerous Places!
He had just left Giant Peak not long ago, and now there was a problem in Tiger Roar Town.
He couldn’t help but bemoan the complexity of this escort mission in his heart. If he had foreknowledge, he wouldn’t panic in the face of such a situation. But now that he had no foreknowledge, he could either quit the game or just wait. Quitting the game was out of the question. If he were to quit, he would be safe, but what about Ji Changfeng and the others?
Ji Changfeng said, “According to our original route, Tiger Roar Town was supposed to be the safest of the three dangerous areas because we would only pass by five miles from it and not come anywhere near Tiger Roar Town, let alone enter it.”
“But we woke up to find ourselves in Tiger Roar Town, which indicates that we have been targeted by a demon long ago. The demon caused us all to plunge deep asleep and brought us here.”
Su Nan nodded; he had also thought of this.
“Senior, what exactly is the situation with Tiger Roar Town?”
At the moment, he was still unfamiliar with Tiger Roar Town. The most important thing now was apparently to first understand what Tiger Roar Town was.
As he looked around, his brow furrowed.
He noticed that while the people on the street seemed no different from normal people.
But somehow, they all felt strange to him. Something was off.
However, even after looking closely, he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Ji Changfeng quickly picked up the unconscious Song Zhi and returned to the carriage, then said in a low voice:
“Twenty years ago, Tiger Roar Town was just an ordinary town. But then something happened that turned it into a very dangerous place.”
“The town is called Tiger Roar Town because there is a Tiger Demon on a hill behind the town. Every time the Tiger Demon roars, the people of Tiger Roar Town can hear it clearly.”
Upon hearing this, Su Nan looked out of the carriage window towards the distance.
As it turned out, to the north of the small town was a small mountain range It wasn’t very high, but it stretched for thousands of miles.
“At first, the Tiger Demon did not harm people. But then something happened that made it extremely aggressive. In a single night, it devoured all the people in Tiger Roar Town – over three thousand of them.”
Upon hearing this, Su Nan shuddered, “Three thousand people were eaten? The people here now…”
“They’re not real people!” Ji Changfeng shook his head, his expression grim.
“Not human? Then what are they?”
Ji Changfeng’s voice dropped even lower, seemingly afraid that the people on the street might hear him:
“They are ghosts!”
“The Tiger Demon is not an ordinary demon. Its bloodline is unique and possesses a certain racial talent. It can condense the resentment of the prey it has consumed into ghosts to control.”
“The people we see now are the ghosts formed from the resentment of those who were eaten!”
“These ghosts are unique. They not only retain the memory of their past lives,
but they even retain their lifestyle and habits.”
Upon hearing these words, Su Nan felt a tumult in his heart, “Senior, are you implying that the entire town we’re seeing now is composed of ghosts?” Ji Changfeng nodded solemnly, “These ghosts may not be demons, but each one possesses the strength of a mortal level!”
As Su Nan took another look at the people on the outside street, a chill went down his spine.
Three thousand mortal warriors, and these were only the minions of one demon!
