On the silent cruise where only the sound of seagulls screeching could be heard, a woman was dragging her feet on the smooth floor of the cruise. Her face was pale, extraordinarily pale as she clattered her teeth once in a while, like she was nibbling on air making an eerie noise. With her feet dragging on the floor, the woman continued to push her way towards the storeroom where meat was stored as she sniffed the air which was laden with blood.
" Ah, Madam Xue! Thank goodness I saw you," a young man who was around the age of twenty exclaimed when he saw Madam Xue who was moving towards the refrigerator at the bottom floor. With her back facing the young man, the woman paused all of a sudden as she turned to look at the young man with a jerky motion of her neck, her eyes popped wide as she once again took a whiff of the blood.
" Blood." She muttered under her breath but her voice was too soft for the young man to hear as he looked at the woman who was moving like a zombie from a movie.
" Woah, Madam Xue… did you join in the prank with the crew as well? Why are you moving like that?" The young man chortled as he looked at a woman who was standing in front of him. " I mean this would have worked ages ago but——gah!!" The young man was still chortling but as soon as he opened his mouth, the woman who was moving like she was not used to her two feet suddenly pounced on him, her mouth elongated into that of a snout and her teeth turned sharper than that of a piranha as she bit a huge chunk of flesh from the body of the young man causing blood to spill on the ground.
" AHHHHH! Wen…Wendigo!" The man screamed with all his strength but with blood sprouting out of his neck like a fountain he could only muster enough strength. Behind him the body of the woman called Madam Xue had long deformed, her back arched in an inverted C while her spine elongated, her feet which belonged to that of a human turned into the claws of a beast while her fingers which were tiny and slightly chubby, turned into that of a skeleton as they elongated while sharpening at the tip.
" Clatter," the thing behind the young man moved its jaw as if it was feeling cold but the young man knew that the thing was actually preparing itself to take another bite which was why with his hand clasped on his neck, he tried to scramble away from the storage room but the corridor was too narrow for him to sprint and with his body losing blood, he ended up tripping on the ground, causing the skeleton beast to jump on him before dragging his body inside the storage room.
The sounds of someone thumping and screaming echoed in the corridor but soon those sounds turned into muffled grunts and soon they stopped.
The young man thought that he died without anyone knowing that he died but what he did not know was that someone indeed saw him getting attacked and eaten.
Huo Lan who was just exploring the cruise hid against the staircase with her hand covering her mouth, her eyes were popping wide as she continued to stand against the wall with her back pressed. She did not dare to make a sound as she peeked inside the corridor where the young man vanished, in fact just like the young man, she too came to look for Madam Xue, she wanted to see whether or not there was anything dangerous on that island.
| After all, an old couple went to the island and returned without getting attacked by anything doesn't that mean she failed in her plans? Huo Lan was upset but she still wanted to question Madam Xue before thinking of another plan.
Fortunately, she was lucky enough to escape the brush of death or else!
Huo Lan took another look at the silent corridor which was filled with the scent of blood and then silently crept over the stairs and then ran back to her room, now that she knew there was indeed danger waiting for them, she only need to push Su Qingzhao into the pit and leave!
As she thought of Su Qingzhao's horrible death a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.
"Let's see how will you like this, Old Master Su!"
....
"What's wrong?" Yang Yiling questioned Su Qian who was rubbing her chest again and again. " Are you not feeling good?"
Su Qian shook her head and then replied, "It's nothing like that I am just anxious, this place is not giving me any good energy."
What was more out of ten families only five motorboats returned which was just enough for the remaining people on the cruise to take, everything about this place screamed trap to her. But no matter what and how she tried to explain to her nephew, she was sure that he will not listen to a thing.
Yang Yiling also was no longer in the mood to go to the island anymore, after all, she had tried to meet the people of those five families who returned but she did not see any of them! What surprised her even more was that she clearly heard the sound of something moving inside the rooms of those people but they did not answer her.
Everything about this place was spooking her but when she thought of all those reviewers who told her that as long as they reach the top, they will be able to get any of their wishes fulfilled, she remembered her son who was waiting for her. If she did not make a move now then she was afraid that her son would die before she could save him.
In the end, even if she knew that ahead was nothing but danger, Yang Yiling still chose to ignore it. For the sake of her son, she was willing to do anything!
