Hu Min was pleasantly surprised and picked up the item on the ground. Yun Qin saw that it was a Pisces jade pendant.

No matter if it was the appearance or texture, it was very similar to the one she picked up from the stone coffin in the cave.

Why did Hu Luo have this?

Yun Qin frowned and subconsciously touched her back. Only then did she realize that to secretly bring Hu Min here, she left her backpack.

After she used the Pisces jade pendant to open the stone coffin last time, she casually put the jade pendant into the outside pocket of her backpack.

After confirming the item, Hu Min quickly put the jade pendant into her bosom. Seeing Yun Qin’s inquisitive gaze, she explained, “This belonged to my grandmother. It’s not valuable, but it’s very meaningful to me.”

Yun Qin nodded and did not say anything.

Seeing that she deceived Yun Qin, Hu Min relaxed a little and said, “Let’s go. Remember, only the two of us can know that I came here.”

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, saw that Hu Min was about to leave so she quickly said, “You’re leaving? Hu Luo’s bones are still here!”

Hu Min turned around and looked at the gray bones on the ground with a strange look. She asked curiously, “I saw it. So?”

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, stuttered, struggling to find the right words to express what she was trying to say. In the end, all she could was “Hu Luo wants to go home.”

“Oh, there’s no home.” Hu Min spared a glance and turned around to leave.

“Hu Luo wants to go home,” the tree spirit, Hu Luo, repeated.

Yun Qin looked at the tree spirit and sighed, “Hu Min never met her grandmother and her mother never raised her. Family ties are pretty weak with her.”

“But…”

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, stuttered, but couldn’t say anything.

“When I asked you back then, why didn’t you show me the jade pendant?” Yun Qin asked softly.

If she saw this identical Pisces jade pendant back then, perhaps she wouldn’t have taken so many detours and immediately realized that something was wrong with Black Bear Ridge.

“Hu Luo felt that it was very important, so I kept it. I wanted to give it to her family…” the tree spirit stammered.

“I’m leaving. Take care.”

Seeing Hu Min standing about ten meters away waiting for her, Yun Qin quietly said goodbye to the tree spirit.

The tree spirit, Hu Luo, also asked softly, “Can I see her again? Hu Luo wants to see her.”

Yun Qin glanced at Hu Min, who was standing quietly not far away, and replied, “Okay. When everything is done, I’ll bring her to see you.”

Once Yun Qin caught up to Hu Min said, “What’s there to talk about with a spiritual monster?”

Yun Qin said indifferently, “Sometimes, I feel that there’s no difference between a spiritual monster, a ghost, or a person.”

Hu Min did not say anything, but she curled her lips as if she did not care about Yun Qin’s words.

She turned her head to look at the tree spirit again. She used her roots to cover the cleaned and polished bones back into the ground as if it was some precious treasure.

However, just as the two of them were walking back quickly, they heard a deafening gunshot not far away. It sounded particularly clear in the silent mountain.

The huge commotion even alerted the birds in the forest. They all flapped their wings and flew away.

Yun Qin and Hu Min looked at each other and immediately realized that something was wrong. They quickly ran toward the camp.

However, after a few seconds, they heard a few more gunshots. Then, everything returned to silence.

When the two of them arrived back at camp with pounding hearts, they saw the dim bonfire light, and everyone who was sleeping was now awake. They stood together and stared at a certain spot.

At the spot they were staring at, they saw a huge black shadow darting by and then disappearing into the forest.

Yun Qin and Hu Min walked to them with solemn expressions. The remaining five people stood there with frightened expressions on their faces. Fortunately, they were not injured. Meanwhile, Ma Yue was holding a pistol and panting heavily.

The moment Fatty saw the two of them return, he said with a trembling voice, “Bear, the blind bear is here!”

“Was that a black bear just now?” Hu Min stepped forward and asked with a frown after checking if anyone was injured.

“Yes, he ran away after Ma Yue hit it in the buttocks,” Zhuang Sen replied. However, he started to dismantle the tents and added, “We have to leave now. This thing holds a grudge. It might even bring back some helpers.”

When the others saw Zhuang Sen’s actions, they also wanted to follow suit. Ma Yue, who was holding a gun the whole time, suddenly said coldly, “The two of you, where did you go?”

Yun Qin still did not speak, while Hu Min explained, “We went to use the bathroom, I don’t know…”

“Did you need to go so far to use the bathroom? What’s the point of having a guard?” Ma Yue’s expression was cold, and his tone became even fiercer.

“I said I didn’t know, and we didn’t do it on purpose..” Hu Min felt guilty while Ma Yue was questioning her, so her tone became unpleasant.
