"Everyone close your eyes!"
Upon seeing the abnormal phenomenon appearing on the river's surface, Li Yan quickly warned.
The members of the Salt Gang immediately bowed their heads and closed their eyes upon hearing this.
Though they were not Magicians, their years of smuggling salt had either seen them navigating such remote waterways or traversing desolate mountain paths.
Strange occurrences were things they had both heard of and witnessed.
Evil Spirits often confuse the five senses to harm people.
Therefore, in such a situation, bowing and closing one's eyes is the best choice to avoid falling into a trap and interfering with Li Yan's spell-casting.
Just as Li Yan gave his warning, the commotion on the river's surface grew stronger.
The mist thickened, quickly becoming so dense that one couldn't see their hand in front of their face, even concealing the bright moon in the night sky.
"Hehehe hahahaha..."
Strange laughter echoed from within the dense fog.
