Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 170 Night Watch

"Never mind, never mind..." Han Yi shook his head, then changed the subject: "Didn't you just say you needed to pee and couldn't hold it anymore, so why aren't you going?"

Han Yi was afraid that if he spent too much time with Wang Quanzhi, he would catch his kidney deficiency ailment.

"Tch... That's boring. I'll go now..."

Seeing that Han Yi's expression was serious and not feigned, Wang Quanzhi's excitement vanished instantly.

"It's so dark, do you want to go inside and ask someone to go with you?"

Han Yi spoke again.

"Do we have to go to the toilet together?" Wang Quanzhi waved his hand and walked away dejectedly. "Forget it, I can't pee if someone's standing next to me."

Upon hearing this, Han Yi fell silent and began to close his eyes to rest.

Of course, he wasn't really resting; he was still focusing most of his attention on listening to the sounds around him.

---------------------

In the depths of winter, in the open courtyard, the moon was high in the sky when suddenly a layer of dark clouds appeared, and the moonlight pierced through, making the sky appear and disappear.

"Wang Quanzhi, why hasn't he come back from the toilet yet? Didn't he say he'd be quick? Did he fall into the latrine?"

Han Yi frowned. More than half a day had passed. Let alone going to the toilet, he could have drunk several pots of tea in that time.

This kid can't actually go knocking on a widow's door, can he?

A ridiculous thought popped into his head, but upon closer examination, given Wang Quanzhi's lecherous nature, it was indeed a possibility.

The moonlight shines bright, but my heart is filled with unease.

For no apparent reason, abruptly, or out of the ordinary, Han Yi suddenly felt a sense of tension.

Sonorous!

He suddenly stood up, slowly drew his Xuan Tie sword, and his combat power instantly surged from '92~99' to '95~134'. He looked around.

"There's nothing unusual..."

Han Yi looked around. The main gate was tightly closed, the door to Huang An's group's room was locked, the small traps set by Bai Ye and Qian Xue in front of the door were still there, and even the smell coming from the stables was unbearable.

The moonlight flickered, illuminating his furrowed brows and making him appear even more puzzled.

"Could it really be my imagination?" Han Yi did not lower his guard, still holding the Xuan Tie sword, deep in thought.

"Something's wrong! Something's happened!"

He suddenly remembered something and rushed into the house furthest from him, where Bai Sanren and Qianxue were.

His anxiety was understandable, because, at some point, the snoring that used to fill the courtyard had all disappeared, leaving it completely silent; even the sharp sound of the wind had stopped.

"Master Bai?"

Bai Sanren, who had agreed to stand guard inside the house despite Han Yi's objections, inexplicably collapsed on the ground inside the door.

He lay peacefully on his back, dressed in white.

This scene made Han Yi think of some ominous possibility.

"No way, Master Bai, didn't you say you were going to teach me the true essence of the 'Bai Family Sword Technique'? How could you fall down in such a small place..." Han Yi suppressed his grief and tremblingly put his finger to Bai Sanren's nostrils.

"Hmm... what's wrong, Han Yi...?"

Before Han Yi could even detect Bai Sanren's breathing, Bai Sanren slowly opened his eyes and asked in a daze.

"Damn it! I told you you couldn't stay up all night, but you just had to show off!"

Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, scolded Bai Sanren a few times, and hurried to the inner room to check on Qianxue.

"No, how could I fall asleep... I wasn't that sleepy..."

Behind him, only Bai Sanren remained, filled with doubt and muttering to himself.

"Qianxue, wake up!"

On the bed, Qianxue was sleeping soundly. Of course, when traveling, she would rest fully dressed. "Qianxue?"

Han Yi gently patted her cheek to wake her up.

"What's wrong, Brother Yi..."

Qianxue's eyes were glazed over, still half-asleep.

"Something's happened! You'd better get ready and get back to sleep!"

Han Yi reminded him, then turned around.

"what?"

Qianxue jolted awake, all sleepiness gone.

"go!"

A moment later, Han Yi, along with Bai Sanren and Qianxue who were still confused about the situation, rushed out of the house like the wind.

Standing in front of the room where Huang An and the others were staying, looking at the dark and lifeless room, Han Yi took a deep breath. After a moment's thought, he pushed open the door to go in.

"Wait here for me, I'll go in and check on things!" Han Yi said calmly, hurriedly returning to his room, only to find that Bai Sanren and Qianxue were perfectly normal. Surely this couldn't be just his imagination, he had to go and check on them no matter what!

"Let's go in together! That way we can look out for each other!"

Bai Sanren also recovered from his daze and stopped Han Yi.

Although he hadn't encountered any danger yet, the fact that he had inexplicably become drowsy and fallen asleep on the ground was enough to indicate that something was amiss here, and he couldn't let Han Yi go on the adventure alone.

"good…..."

Han Yi remained silent for a few moments, then nodded in agreement. He knew Bai Sanren's intentions, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Besides, in such a dangerous and unknown environment, it's really hard to say where we might encounter danger. If we all stay together, he can help with the rescue if we do encounter danger.

puff.

Bai Sanren rubbed a flint, and some tiny sparks flew out, igniting the tinderbox in his hand.

A faint yellow-red flame ignited, and after it stabilized somewhat, he carefully lit the other two tinderboxes and handed them to Han Yi and Qian Xue.

Crunch!

The sound of the door hinges turning was particularly jarring in the dead of night. The three of them stood like arrowheads, with Han Yi leading the way, like an arrowhead.

Upon entering the room, the shifting light and shadow made it impossible to see any of the furnishings. Gradually, as the eyes adjusted to the darkness, the three small flames flickered and sparked, and the room began to take shape.

The doors and windows were locked, the curtains were drawn, and the room was deathly still. Fortunately, Huang An had lived in the room before, so there was no unpleasant smell.

On the edge of the pit against the wall, a black humanoid silhouette lay sprawled out. Han Yi cautiously approached and saw that the black figure was none other than Huang An, the leader of the Huang family caravan.

His eyes widened as if he were arguing with someone, glaring angrily, which startled Han Yi and the other two. Qianxue's right hand was already on the scabbard.

Furthermore, Huang An's mouth was wide open, and his face was completely bloodless. If Han Yi hadn't noticed the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have thought he was dead!

"Huang An? Wake up!"

Han Yi shook Huang An forcefully, but found that his body was stiff and cold, like a dead pig, completely devoid of any feeling.

A faint black aura lingered between his brows, almost blending into the thick darkness. Had Han Yi not possessed exceptional eyesight, he would not have noticed it.
