"Not a humankind? Then what is it? How did he disappear?" Meng Yao posed a series of questions, like a curious baby.
Zhang Yan answered with a smile, "I can't tell you about this now! You only need to know that it is very powerful!"
"Well, let's not waste time here! Hurry up to leave here!" added Zhang Yan.
They two began to move forward, and unconsciously held their hands together. Only after a while, Meng Yao suddenly found that her hand was pulled by Zhang Yan, then she immediately drew her hand back with flushes on her cheeks.
Zhang Yan got embarrassed as well, scratching his head and smiling, "I'm sorry! I don't mean it!"
Meng Yao lowered her head, daring not to look at Zhang Yan, and whispered, "That's okay! Let's just keep moving!"
The two continued to step ahead in the dark night of the Huangquan Road.
After several minutes, Meng Yao thought of the crystal lamp, and asked, "We have crystal lamps. Why not use them to light up the road? It is dangerous to walk in darkness, isn't it?"
Zhang Yan answered smiling, "No, you think wrong! It is comparatively safe to walk without the lamps, because when we walk quietly in the night, we are integrated with the darkness, like a part of the Huangquan Road, more difficult to be discovered."
"But once we turn on the crystal lamps, we will be the most dazzling presence in the night, and will be easily found from a great distance!"
Meng Yao abruptly realized, "No wonder we haven't encountered any danger for such a long time, but when I was with my families, we often met attacks from small ghosts or the devil monsters. That was all due to the crystal lamps!"
Zhang Yan sighed, "Are all of you fools without such simple survival experience?"
Meng Yao refuted at once, "How can you say that!? After all, lighting in darkness is common sense! This is our normal reaction! Do you think everyone is sly like you?"
"I am not sly, but smart, okay?" Zhang Yan argued.
"Well, let's not talk about this any longer, and keep going, okay?" Zhang Yan interrupted Meng Yao who still wanted to refute.
Therefore, they stopped speaking, and went forward in the darkness.
The darkness in the Huangquan Road was filled with death messages, like the end of the world. From time to time, there would be horrible strange screams coming from afar, which forced Meng Yao to be closer and closer to Zhang Yan in fear.
Zhang Yan sounded to comfort Meng Yao, "No worries, I'm here! Besides, the voices are from far away! We won't be discovered!"
All of a sudden, they perceived a forest ahead of them. After a few hesitations, they decided to go in.
As soon as they entered the forest, they found that there was a faint gleam from the depths of the jungle. Meng Yao was shocked by the light, "That light is like the Ghost in the Night again! Let's go back soon! Or we will be killed if discovered."
"Take it easy! Don't be that flustered! Look, it's not the green fire of the Ghost in the Night, but like the crystal lamps of the human warriors! Let's go to have a closer look!"
Zhang Yan began to guide Meng Yao to the depth of the forest carefully. It turned out to be a group of flying bugs in the air, like fireflies, dazzling in the darkness. These bugs were of fist size, with a tentacle on their heads, which was actually their light source.
Zhang Yan didn't know what these bugs were, but Meng Yao recognized them. She stared at the glowing bugs surprisingly, "Starflies! They are the legendary starflies!"
