Bab 385: Raging Mountain (9)

"And I'm sure they are observing the inn as we speak. Remember earlier?" Ryan watched the three with keen eyes.

"We are the first group to arrive. And I was confident in my keen senses. The moment we arrived at the front gate, I swore I sensed no presence. The village was desolate as if the people living here abandoned the place. But when I turned my attention away for a second, they suddenly appeared."

The group fell silent, and a bad feeling filled their hearts.

"Are they ghosts?"

"It's impossible to instantly appear if they aren't a ghost, right?" The young man beside Saphi named Andrew spoke nervously.
