A hint of wariness flashed in their eyes, but they quickly realized that the people who had just left were searching again.
A look of shock flashed across Xia Yan's and his friend's eyes, because this was completely unexpected. Moreover, Xia Yan had previously guessed that those people would recuperate after returning, but he did not expect that they would come back to search again. Moreover, Xia Yan had just observed that this time there were a lot of people, and they searched very carefully.
They had conducted a thorough search. Xia Yan sighed quietly. However, after observing carefully, he realized that they had nowhere to hide. Upon realizing this, he glanced at his friend and a determined look flashed in his eyes. At the same time, Qian Hua and Ram, who were on the other side, were also awakened and hurriedly came to Xia Yan's side.
Xia Yan glanced at them, his determination deepening. However, he also sensed a group of people approaching them. A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, but he had no time to think about it. Realizing this, Xia Yan took advantage of the group's inattention and attacked them directly.
However, the commotion caused by Xia Yan attracted the attention of others, who surrounded him. Upon seeing this scene, Xia Yan frowned slightly, but these people glared at him fiercely, because in their eyes, Xia Yan was truly ungrateful.
What's more, they had even set traps to harm them in the past. However, they were quite shocked. At the beginning, they were only chasing one person, but now suddenly four or five people appeared. After realizing this, they looked at each other, feeling very confused. But Xia Yan seized the opportunity and attacked these people directly.
Xia Yan's actions thoroughly enraged the people in front of him, and their brows furrowed tightly. They glared fiercely at Xia Yan, then attacked him without hesitation. Xia Yan hadn't intended to be too ruthless, since he believed these people were only following orders to capture them.
However, when Xia Yan engaged these people in combat, he discovered that things weren't as simple as they had imagined. Looking at the people before him, Xia Yan's vigilance deepened. Among them, there was one person dressed better than the others. He glanced at Xia Yan and then said to him:
"I'm telling you, we don't want to make things difficult for you right now, but you have done something unforgivable, especially since I don't know three of the people involved. How about this, if you hand over that person to me, I'll let you go (Wang Nuo's)?"
After saying these words, the man looked at Xia Yan and Ram with anticipation. In his opinion, if he could make them fight amongst themselves, he would not hesitate to sacrifice a single soldier. However, Xia Yan had already seen through his scheme. She glared at him fiercely, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on her lips.
In Xia Yan's view, what he disliked most was people who sowed discord.
Chapter 497 Fighting
Realizing this, a shadow crossed Xia Yan's eyes. Xia Yan, now that you're here, you have no intention of messing around with the person in front of you.
Xia Yan realized that these people had been chasing his friends for quite some time, and if he didn't defeat them this time, they would definitely be in a very dangerous situation. As he realized this, the gloom in Xia Yan's eyes slowly deepened.
The leader, seeing this scene, flashed a hint of annoyance in his eyes. He glanced at Xia Yan and then said to him:
"Let me tell you, you'd better not be here offering toasts. You'll regret it later. I've already said it here, and you should know very well that you are no match for me. Look at the way you are now, you're completely surrounded by us. So I just gave you a chance, and you should cherish it. If you're like this now, we'll definitely make you regret it later."
Upon hearing these words, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with disdain. Since he dared to do this now, he was not afraid of the leader in front of him. Seeing this, the leader's anger slowly deepened, and he directly attacked Xia Yan.
When the people around saw this scene, a hint of worry flashed in their eyes, but Xia Yan remained calm. He glanced at the leader who appeared in front of him, a strange look in his eyes, but he also knew that the situation was very critical, so he prepared for battle.
The leader glanced at Xia Yan, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes, and then attacked Xia Yan. Seeing this, Xia Yan's wariness deepened, and he hurriedly dodged.
However, the leader was not so easy to deal with. After Xia Yan dodged, the leader launched another attack. The leader's attacks were extremely swift, and Xia Yan could only dodge as quickly as possible. But having already missed twice, the leader was slowly growing angry.
The leader then attacked Xia Yan once more. A glint of understanding flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but he quickly dodged. After all, Xia Yan knew the leader's identity and strength, so he hesitated to attack.
However, the leader did not give Xia Yan a chance to dodge. Just after Xia Yan dodged the leader's attack, the leader attacked Xia Yan again. Xia Yan quickly dodged again.
After dodging one of the leader's attacks, Xia Yan began carefully observing the leader's weaknesses. However, the leader did not give up his attacks because of Xia Yan's observations; on the contrary, his attacks on Xia Yan became faster and more ruthless.
A flicker of wariness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and he quickly dodged. However, the leader wasn't so easy to deal with; otherwise, Xia Yan wouldn't have fought him for so long without a clear victor. Moreover, Xia Yan had already clearly recognized this before.
Chapter 498 Escape
Therefore, Xia Yan became even more wary of the leader.
Although Xia Yan had been on guard against the leader for a long time, when the leader attacked him, Xia Yan immediately deflected the attack. Moreover, taking advantage of the leader's unpreparedness, Xia Yan launched his own attack.
The leader never expected Xia Yan to attack him when he was off guard. Xia Yan's attack forced the leader to take a few steps back and he was slightly injured. However, Xia Yan's actions only further enraged the leader. After glaring fiercely at Yang, the leader attacked Xia Yan again, this time with even more ruthlessness and no mercy.
Seeing this, Xia Yan became even more vigilant and dared not relax his guard in the slightest. However, Xia Yan did not expect the leader to react so quickly and launch such an attack on him. As a result, Xia Yan did not have time to react and was directly knocked to the ground by the leader.
Upon seeing this, the leader's eyes flashed with a sinister glint. Xia Yan, seeing this, also had a strange look in his eyes, and his attitude became serious. However, he no longer had much time to consider this, because the leader was about to launch another attack on him, seemingly intending to take the opportunity to eliminate him.
So just as the leader was about to launch another attack on Xia Yan (just when he was about to kill Xia Yan), Xia Yan suddenly jumped up from the ground, quickly moved behind the leader, and immediately launched an attack on the leader.
Xia Yan's attack this time was merciless, striking directly at the leader. Caught off guard, the leader was knocked to the other side, but his rage only intensified. Ignoring the consequences, he launched another attack on Xia Yan.
Upon realizing this, a sinister glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, for he could now sense the leader's murderous intent towards him. With a furrowed brow, Xia Yan feigned a flash and turned to attack the leader. The leader had no idea that Xia Yan would react so swiftly this time.
So the leader didn't have time to dodge and was directly attacked by Xia Yan. Seeing this, Xia Yan didn't intend to give the leader a chance to react and launched another attack on the leader. At the same time, the others who saw this scene also joined the battle.

Xia Yan knocked the leader to the other side, and then became even more ruthless, directly killing several people. These people were all knocked to the ground by Xia Yan, clutching their stomachs and groaning in pain.
...... ......... ...
Seeing this scene, the panic in the eyes of the others gradually deepened. In their view, their leader had already become like this, and they dared not confront Xia Yan and his group head-on. Realizing this, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and they immediately ran to the other side.
Seeing this scene, Chika and Ram flashed a hint of admiration in their eyes, but Xia Yan knew very well that this place was no longer safe. Realizing this, he glanced at his friend, who naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts.
Chapter 499 A Moment of Tension
So they didn't linger there. Instead, they hurriedly ran in the other direction, looking for another safe place.
They were quite lucky; after walking a while, they actually found an abandoned village. Upon realizing this, a hint of wariness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, because in Xia Yan's view, it was truly unbelievable that there was a village in this valley.
His friend, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed Xia Yan's thoughts. He sighed softly and then said to him:
“Actually, I’ve heard people say before that there were people in this valley, but they all died because of some things. We just looked around and found that there are no strange people here. It must have been abandoned a long time ago. Anyway, we can’t find any other place now, so let’s stay here for the time being.”
Upon hearing this, Chika and Ram's eyes flashed with agreement. After a long journey, they were exhausted and had no strength left. Xia Yan naturally understood their thoughts and nodded to his friend.
They then found a relatively clean house and moved in. At first, everything was normal, but at night, they noticed a lot of unusual noises in the village. After realizing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly, while Qian Hua and Ram, who were standing nearby, showed a hint of panic in their eyes.
In particular, they remembered that Xia Yan's friend had mentioned during the day that quite a few people had died in this village. Realizing this, they all looked helplessly at Xia Yan, and then said to him:
"Oh my god, what's going on? Could there be some vengeful spirit here? Besides, even though we didn't do anything heinous before, what if something else happens here?"
"Yes, yes, although I believe in science, there are some things that science cannot explain. What should we do now?"
After saying these words, Qianhua and Ram's faces turned even paler. Xia Yan, seeing this, frowned slightly. However, he knew very well that he had to investigate this matter thoroughly. Moreover, the abnormal things happening in the village were becoming increasingly apparent. Realizing this, his frown deepened, and he glanced at his friend, saying:
“I don’t think they’re the ones chasing us. If they were, they wouldn’t be here now, and they wouldn’t be doing these petty things in the shadows. But we didn’t find anyone else in this abandoned village during the day. You stay here and take care of Lamu and Qianhua and the others. I’ll go check on them….”
Upon hearing these words, a hint of worry flashed in the eyes of everyone present, especially Xia Yan's friend, who believed that Xia Yan should not act alone at this time.
Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, naturally understood. He turned to his companion, patted him on the shoulder, and then said:
Chapter 500 Things Aren't That Simple
"Don't worry, I'm not that reckless at all. As the person in charge said, after all this, don't you understand? I can handle this service now, so you don't need to worry too much. Just take good care of the people in front of you."
Although Xia Yan said it, his friend's worries continued to deepen. Seeing this, Ram breathed a sigh of relief but remained firm. It seemed that Xia Yan was also accompanied by Chika Ram. Seeing that they could not persuade Xia Yan, they agreed to his suggestion.
However, after Xia Yan 04 went out to investigate, he found nothing. Realizing this, they all frowned slightly and returned to the group. Those nearby, seeing this, had a curious glint in their eyes, looked at Xia Yan, and then asked him:
"How's it going? After you left, that strange noise seemed to get louder. Did you find any useful clues?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and his doubts deepened. However, he still shook his head at the crowd before him and then said:
"No, I just followed that doctor upstairs, but I didn't find anyone suspicious in there. So now I'm wondering if it's just like what Qianhua Ram said about ghosts and spirits?"
Upon hearing these words, a flicker of panic crossed the eyes of everyone present. Qianhua and Ram, standing to the side, grew even more frightened, wishing they could hide in a corner. At the same time, the guide Xia Yan had originally sought out turned pale, sighed softly, and then said to them:
“I’m telling you, what your friend told you wasn’t wrong. There are indeed some other legends here. It’s said that this grandson was once very prosperous, but he offended someone and his entire family was suddenly wiped out. There must be a lot of fate involved here. If we want to leave, it probably won’t be so easy.”
The brows of everyone present furrowed deeper and deeper, but Xia Yan, standing to the side, glanced at the guide and his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He had a feeling that one of the guides was looking for an opportunity to escape. Realizing this, he looked at the guide beside him and then said:
"I'm telling you, you'd better behave yourself now, 693. Besides, even though you're a local, you know there are many strange things in this valley. If you try to leave us on your own, you won't be able to get out. So you'd better stay here with us."
A flicker of panic crossed the guide's eyes. Just as Xia Yan had said, he really wanted to leave this place alone, but he hadn't expected Xia Yan to see his thoughts. Realizing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. However, after spending some time together, he knew that Xia Yan was not so easily fooled.
Chapter 501 Decided to Leave
Upon realizing this, a hint of panic flashed in the guide's eyes. Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more as he watched this scene unfold. Meanwhile, his friend, standing nearby, let out a soft sigh.
However, his friend was extremely wary. He pondered for a moment, then said to Xia Yan beside him:
"Alright, alright, now is not the time to argue about this. Besides, we're already here, and we don't know anyone here. Although I've been here twice before, this place is still completely unfamiliar to me. In that case, let's not be so picky. Besides, I believe that the person leading the way in front of us doesn't have that much courage."
After saying these words, the friend glanced at the guide on the other side. Upon seeing the friend's gaze, the guide's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression seemed to turn pale.
The people standing nearby frowned deeply, but at the same time, the strange sounds continued to ring out. Chika and Ram's fear was also slowly deepening. In their eyes, this abandoned village had many eerie aspects. Realizing this, they immediately hid next to Xia Yan.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, and his brows furrowed even more deeply. At the same time, Xia Yan's friend seemed to notice something amiss. Realizing this, he sighed softly and then said:
"Alright, alright, no matter what, there are indeed some strange things here. In that case, let's not linger here. Let's quickly think of a way to leave this valley as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in everyone's eyes. They couldn't worry about anything else now, so they hurriedly set off. The guide, standing to the side, was even more anxious, even though he had initially brought Xia Yan and the others here for money.
But for him now, life was more important. Realizing this, the fear in his eyes deepened. However, he didn't waste any more time. Instead, he quickened his pace. And so, perseverance paid off, and they finally left the valley.
When they emerged from the valley, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. It had been incredibly dangerous for them. Not only that, but they had also encountered their pursuers in the valley. Although they were now out of the valley, it made it easier for them to be discovered.
Realizing this, they sighed softly and exchanged a glance. However, in Xia Yan's view, their most important task now was to find a place to settle down. Realizing this, his expression turned serious, and he continued:
(Wang Nuohao) "Alright, alright, let's not think about that too much now. Let's find a place to settle down quickly. After all, we don't know anyone here. Besides, although we came out of that valley, didn't you notice? It seems very different from the entrance we went in this morning."
Upon hearing these words, everyone present suddenly realized what was happening. They carefully observed their surroundings and found them completely unfamiliar.
Chapter 502 Enthusiastic Villagers
Xia Yan turned his gaze to the guide beside him. The guide, naturally understanding their thoughts, sighed softly, observed them carefully for a moment, shook his head at them, and said:
“You don’t need to look at me like that. I don’t know either. Although I’m a local, you know this valley is very big. Not only that, the towns on the other side of the valley are different from those on this side. In that case, why don’t we go and take a look at this town?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in everyone's eyes. After all, they couldn't just sleep on the streets like this. So they went straight to town 693. But what shocked Xia Yan was that the towns he had visited before were all very wary of him, but the villagers in these towns were extremely welcoming to them.
Moreover, when Xia Yan arrived at an inn, the innkeeper, knowing he had come from that valley, had a glint in his eyes and immediately asked Xia Yan:
"I really didn't expect that you came out of that valley. Did you encounter anything strange? What's in that valley? Are there any monsters? You guys are really lucky to have come out of that valley. I really admire you."
Upon hearing this, the crowd around them showed curiosity and gathered around Xia Yan and Qian Hua, asking them:
"Yeah, yeah, you guys are amazing! You actually managed to get out of that valley safely. I really didn't expect you to be so lucky. But now I'm also very curious. What exactly did you encounter? Can you tell us about it?"
“Yes, yes, tell us that you are the first person to enter a valley we have never left before and to come out of it. In that case (aeej), you should stop hiding it.”
After saying these words, everyone present looked at Xia Yan and the others with anticipation. Xia Yan glanced at his friend, Qian Hua Ram, and the others, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Because for Xia Yan, they hadn't really encountered anything strange yet. Realizing this, they sighed softly. However, Xia Yan and his friend discussed it for a while before saying something insignificant, but it was important to the people.
Neither his friend nor Xia Yan said anything. After realizing this, the villagers looked at each other, sighed quietly, and then stopped asking questions.
Upon seeing this scene, Xia Yan actually let out a soft sigh of relief. In his opinion, this matter was truly extraordinary. Moreover, he had no idea why these villagers were so enthusiastic.
Moreover, they had worked so hard in the valley and were exhausted. Realizing this, Xia Yan didn't waste any more time and quickly booked several rooms to settle down here.
Everything was perfectly normal until that evening when Chika and Ram had an accident.
Chapter 503 Nightmare
Everything was perfectly normal until Xia Yan was surprised to hear screams that night. He was very close to Qian Hua and Ram's room.
So he rushed out in a hurry, and when he finally opened Chika and Ram's room, he found that all the screams were coming from Chika and Ram. However, both of them had their eyes closed and seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.
Upon seeing this scene, a hint of worry flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but he dared not easily wake up Qian Hua and Ram. After all, in his view, the two of them being trapped in a nightmare was a very dangerous thing. If things went wrong, they might go insane in the future.
Realizing this, he sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and then glanced at his friend.
His friend seemed to understand Xia Yan's thoughts, but he was helpless. Realizing this, his brows furrowed more and more, and then he gently patted Xia Yan's shoulder.
