章 925: Chapter 927: In Distress

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Besides the sound of the wind blowing through the tree branches, the mountain forest was eerily silent.

Liu Qingmei, frightened, hid behind Qin Hai and asked anxiously, "Is there really someone there? Why can't I see anyone?"

In this remote wilderness, deep in the forest, if there truly was someone and they were intentionally hiding in the shadows, it surely meant they were up to no good.

Qin Hai listened carefully for a while, but apart from the sound of the wind, no other noises reached his ears. He couldn't help but frown slightly. He had clearly heard some activity ahead of them earlier. Had he heard wrong? Or was it merely a small animal such as a wild rabbit that had made the noise?

"Sister Qingmei, don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"

Qin Hai squeezed Liu Qingmei's hand, then continued to lead her forward, all the while staying alert to their surroundings.
