The journey begin

Abe led the party, rushing each step with a particular movement. Yaya followed behind him performing exactly the same footstep while carrying petrified Momo. She was still confused of the previous event but manage to keep her curiosities in check while occasionally examine Momo of his condition.

They quickly arrive at Abe's humble hut.

"You can rest inside here while i get prepared. The savage beast wouldn't come here, but something much more sinister is coming".

Abe grabbed a nearby shovel and dig a few locations around his hut. There were stashes of treasure that he kept from befriending the dead. Most were the dead's prized possession, which include numerous spatial storage ring, weapons and treasures.

Little Xiao and Fat Cat went to their respective gravestone as their last visit, and also to bid goodbye to their dead neighbour. The three of them, including Abe, had planned their journey for years and they had to depart prematurely because of recent events. While vengeful spirits are neutral to entities like Little Xiao and Fat Cat, Abe is still a living person! and vengeful spirits are instinctively attracted to him as a precious conduit to the living realm.

"Neeighhhhh"

A sudden sound of a horse broke the silence.

"Kid, your wagon is ready. This dumb undead horsey will carry you deeper into the graveyard. Remember to follow my arrangements. The scale of savage beast tide is unusually abnormal and i doubt if there are any survivors. The two sacred dolls that you requested me are also inside the wagon. Keep those two cultivators that you met inside the wagon and do not let them wander. And also send my regard once you meet Him!"

Meanwhile Yaya was still inside the thatched hut as she witnessed the wagon moved by itself and Abe seemed to be conversing with someone else. She felt surreal but it was nothing compared to what she experienced before. Momo was showing signs that he had regained his consciousness and his eyes went blank again before he felt asleep.

"He's too tired and you can just carry him into the wagon. I will explain everything along our journey" Abe suddenly said.

The wagon can hold up to ten normal-sized adults. Abe sat at the front trying to manning the horse, and Little Xiao was behind him with Fat Cat. Yaya took the middle spot with sleeping Momo and all Abe's precious stash was arranged at the back.

"Uncle, i am ready!" Abe eagerly said with his face clearly show anticipation of their future journey. Yaya was terrified again but she kept her silence as usual.

"Ok" the uncle replied with some hesitation in his face. He was gazing at a distant place to where the graveyard entrance is. "Wait, you will need to carry one extra person, so there will be seven of you now!"

Uncle intentionally materialised his voice so even Yaya can listen to him.

"Seven!!!!!????" She shouted loudly while swiftly moving her head around trying to sense if there is someone next to her. Little Xiao giggled by herself and they all eager to know who their last member is.

"Wait for me to pick her up" Uncle further said before he quickly disappeared and came back with another girl who was crying as if she was grabbed by an invisible demon. The little crying girl took notice of Abe before she sobbingly shouted.

"It's you. The stalker!"

Uncle immediately place the crying girl next to Abe and before she could muster her energy to say something, the uncle gave a tight slap towards the horsie's back and so... their journey began!
