"Everyone, don't be afraid. Something has infiltrated us, but since it hasn't started killing yet, it means it can't do it for the time being. Our strategy has been effective. I suspect this ghost will tear off someone's face the moment they turn their head, so please, don't look back."
After a pause, Yang Xiao continued, "As long as everyone cooperates with me and listens to my commands, I guarantee your safety."
"From now on, follow my instructions in all actions. To prevent the ghost from confusing us, besides me, try not to speak or make any noise, unless you discover an important clue."
"Understood?"
The team fell silent. Yang Xiao nodded, relieved that, in this life-and-death situation, everyone knew the gravity of the situation.
"Good. Our priority now is to identify the direction of the cave exit. My plan is to use the scent of blood. The Mountain Guardian is dead; the direction the blood scent drifts from should indicate the exit. Let's begin the assessment."
