Chapter 367: Ice and Swirl (6)
By the time we returned to the forest near the docked boat after gathering information from the village, we couldn’t see a thing in front of us.
Ji-ryong’s warning had come true.
The fog that had started trailing us from the village had finally caught up and swallowed us whole.
Between the clouds spilling from the mountain’s waist and the mist rising from Lake Poyang, the area now looked like we had walked into a sea # Nоvеlight # of puffy clouds.
“Is it this way? Uwaaah!”
While fumbling our way toward the boat, the ground beneath me suddenly gave way, and my body was sucked downward in an instant.
– Splash!
“So-ryong!”
I heard the sound of rocks and dirt falling into water below.
– Splash, splash!
Just when I thought I’d fall straight in with the rocks, I felt a sudden tug on my sleeve.
It was Hwa-eun—she had grabbed me just in time, still holding onto my sleeve like we had earlier to avoid getting separated in the fog.
