Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 301: Solving the Zhang Family Issue

Zhang Family members supported each other as they rushed down the road, but after only a few steps, Zhang Hai suddenly heard a rustling noise.

This sound, like that of a startled bird, immediately put Zhang Hai on high alert.

"What’s wrong?" Zhang Feng asked.

He knew Zhang Hai had keen hearing, although just a Fourth Grade, he had better hearing than an average Fifth Grade.

"I heard some movement, it’s a bit familiar, like the Brown-Backed Yaks from before," Zhang Hai said.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was shocked, "Brown-Backed Yak? Are you sure you heard right? It had run far, it shouldn’t return the same way."

Zhang Hai didn’t rush to answer and pricked his ears to listen again, but despite several seconds of listening, he couldn’t hear the noise again.

He glanced back, all was serene and quiet.

He shook his head, guessing he must have heard wrong.

"Sorry, I guess I’m just too sensitive."

"No problem, being a bit sensitive isn’t a bad thing." Zhang Feng patted his shoulder, then turned to signal everyone to continue moving.

The group set off again.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong hid in the shadows, slightly relieved.

"Zhang Hai really does have exceptional hearing, luckily I had already sensed it before and now used the Death Aura to add extra layers of Perception blockage, so he can’t detect the Brown-Backed Yak."

Xiao Zhan had noticed something off about Zhang Hai when the Brown-Backed Yak first charged and had immediately used Death Aura to block the group’s senses.

Then, nobody noticed, only Zhang Hai reacted first and quickly responded, reducing the impact damage caused by the Brown-Backed Yak. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Thus, Xiao Zhan this time specifically enhanced the Perception blockage for Zhang Hai, preventing him from detecting it in advance.

This way, the Brown-Backed Yak would surely deliver a devastating blow to them.

Thinking this, Xiao Zhan further increased the release of Death Aura, enhancing their sensory blockage.

Now, as the sun gradually set, shadows began to creep over the forest. The Zhang Family members walking in the already dim woods found it hard to notice the Death Aura being invisibly released by Xiao Zhan.

His Death Aura was not purely black now, but could change as he controlled it; the murky Death Aura in the forest was like dusk dust, completely undetectable by them.

Thus, even with the Demon Beast, the Brown-Backed Yak, looming close behind them, they remained unaware.

Thunderous sounds –

As it drew closer, the sound grew louder.

Zhang Hai, walking at the front, suddenly turned around, his eyebrows instantly knitting together.

"Something’s not right."

"What’s not right?" Zhang Feng asked.

"I don’t know, just something feels off, I always feel like there’s something coming towards us from behind," Zhang Hai said.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng did not doubt him and swiftly jumped onto the treetops, looking towards their rear.

It was hazy, a bit foggy, but nothing stirred.

He jumped down again, "I checked, there’s just fog and nothing else. Don’t be paranoid; if we keep going through the night without rest and meet up with the Li Corporation, there’ll be no problem."

Zhang Hai was still worried though, not convinced by what Zhang Feng saw, he jumped up on the treetops himself for a look.

What he saw was the same as Zhang Feng.

His brows slightly furrowed, seeing nothing, then why did he keep feeling unease?

He jumped down from the treetop, noting no abnormalities; he could not discern the cause, thus he could only suppress these ominous feelings.

"Probably just me being overly sensitive," Zhang Hai shook his head.

Then they prepared to move again, but just as he took a step, his body trembled violently as if struck by lightning!

"Something’s not right!"

Zhang Feng looked at him with a frown, a hint of irritation in his gaze.

Forever suspicious, huh?

But before he could speak, Zhang Hai hastily said, "My talent isn’t merely sharp ears; my eyes can see further than normal people. The sun hasn’t completely set, and though the forest is foggy, I should be able to see up to two kilometers away, but just now I could only see less than a kilometer!"

"Not good, it’s an ambush!"

Zhang Hai tensed up, frantically looking around.

But Zhang Feng grabbed him firmly, "Calm down, this is Fushan Plain, such strange occurrences are very common! The only nearby group capable of an ambush is the Xiao Family, but their main forces can’t get here that quickly!"

With these words, Zhang Hai calmed down considerably.

He had only trusted his own abilities and overlooked these objective factors.

However, as he turned his gaze around, his expression became frantic again.

"Alert the entire clan, watch for ambushes!"

He shouted loudly!

But after his shout, there was no reaction as he expected, only a deadly silence around, quiet as if it were haunted.

The clan members had disappeared.

He panicked, turning to Zhang Feng in horror, "Big Brother, where are they? Why can’t I see anyone?"

But Zhang Feng didn’t respond either.

His pupils dilated sharply.

Zhang Feng, just moments ago within reach, had vanished right before his eyes!

What in the world was happening.

He looked around, scared, and noticed there was nothing all around – no trees, no people, not even any light.

A pitch-black void, absolutely nothing!

What had happened?

Where is everyone?

"Big Brother!"

Zhang Hai yelled, but there was no reply.

His pupils instantly filled with a terror, but the next second, something even more terrifying happened.

That was, he discovered not only had the people around him disappeared, but he himself had vanished too – he couldn’t see his hands, his feet, or anything of himself.

"Who are you, come out if you dare, creeping around isn’t the act of a hero!"

Zhang Hai screamed towards his surroundings in breakdown.

He thought, as before, that no one would respond.

But to his surprise, just as he finished speaking, a faint voice echoed in his ear,

"Idiot."

Swoosh!

Accompanied by the sound of a weapon slicing through flesh, Zhang Hai only felt a chilling sensation at his neck, followed by something warm gushing out from his body.

That was his own blood!

He turned his head trying to see who it was, but he found his head could rotate 360 degrees without stopping. As if falling swiftly, his head landed on the ground with a thud.

— and then his consciousness completely faded away.
