Chapter 1092

It was just so faint that it sounded like whistling.

Could it be that a soldier was sleeping there?

But that didn't seem right either.

He remembered there was no one here, which was why he chose to relieve himself here.

And the place where the sound was coming from was not in the campfire area.

This was already beyond their perimeter.

His own people wouldn't run out of the campfire area to sleep, would they?

If the night hadn't been so quiet, he wouldn't have noticed this faint snoring.

"Could it be... a ghost?"

Hu Hai's face turned pale instantly.

He muttered to himself, buckled his belt, and hurried back.

It was too scary here; he didn't want to stay for another moment.

Walking quickly back to the area illuminated by the campfires, Hu Hai finally felt a bit more at ease.

Returning to his original spot and sitting down, he prepared to go back to sleep.

"What was the Young Master doing in the middle of the night?"

An abrupt voice sounded.

Scaring Hu Hai into standing up immediately.

"Old Man Fan, are you trying to scare me to death?"

"Can't you make a sound before you speak?"

Hu Hai had just had a false alarm while peeing.

And now he had been scared by Old Man Fan.

His sleepiness vanished instantly.

Fan Zeng turned over and looked at Hu Hai standing not far away.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Since when had Hu Hai become so timid?

"What are you afraid of?"

Hu Hai almost cursed out loud.

"I went to relieve myself just now and got a fright."

"Now I come back and get another fright from you."

"In the middle of the night, in this mountain forest, it would be strange if I weren't afraid."

Hu Hai sat down; his sleepiness was gone anyway.

If he didn't complain, he wouldn't be doing justice to his own fragile heart.

Hearing this, Fan Zeng sat up directly.

Got a fright while relieving himself?

This couldn't help but make Fan Zeng curious.

He hurriedly asked what had happened.

And Hu Hai had no more sleepiness left.

So he told him about what he had just encountered.

After hearing this, Fan Zeng's brows furrowed even tighter.

He sensed something unusual.

Snoring outside the campfire area.

Could it be a night-watch soldier?

Their night-watch personnel were divided into two groups.

One group was on alert outside, strictly guarding against pursuing troops.

And preventing attacks from wild beasts.

The other group was on alert within the campfire area.

But the location Hu Hai mentioned seemed to have no one.

So where did this snoring come from?

Perhaps a soldier was slacking off and hiding somewhere to sleep; that was possible.

But the always-vigilant Fan Zeng decided to check it out.

If they wanted to be safe and rest comfortably.

Then they had to find the uncertain factors.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to rest easy.

He had also been kept awake by this matter.

"Take me to that location to see."

"If it's a person, a scolding will suffice."

Hu Hai was speechless; in the middle of the night.

What was there to see?

Isn't sleeping better?

"Old Man Fan, is that necessary?"

"It's not a big deal."

"Maybe a soldier is just slacking off and fell asleep."

Fan Zeng was unmoved and decided to go see.

"You can't sleep now anyway, what's the harm in looking?"

"Just consider it accompanying me to relieve myself."

"If it's a person, that's fine, but what if it's a wild beast?"

"Then it might hurt our people later."

"Don't dawdle, hurry up."

Fan Zeng urged him.

Hu Hai had no choice; thinking that if it were a wild beast, it would indeed hurt people.

They had encountered many wild beasts on the way here.

Fortunately, they had all been shot and killed by the soldiers' weapons and crossbows.

Everyone had even had a meal of meat because of it.

Thinking of this, Hu Hai pointed in a direction.

The two walked over.

On the way, for the sake of safety, Fan Zeng.

Also woke up a few soldiers who were about to fall asleep to follow them.

If it was a soldier slacking off and sleeping, that would be fine; at most, it would be a false alarm.

But if a wild beast was sleeping there.

And they startled it awake, then they would be in danger.

Several soldiers stood up muddled, looking at Fan Zeng with confusion.

Just as they wanted to ask something, they were stopped by a silencing gesture from Fan Zeng.

Fan Zeng signaled for everyone to tread lightly.

And try not to make any sound.

The unsuspecting soldiers became nervous instantly.

Thinking something major had happened.

Very soon—

Seven or eight people arrived at the location Hu Hai had mentioned.
