Sacrifice is noble, but it is painful.

"We better not look back!" decreed Chan.

"I know, I can feel a lot of other creatures staring at us." Xiao let out a long breath. Chan nodded his head once. They just stood at the door without looking back. Sure enough, there were many toilet-waiting supernatural beings watching them.

"Chan, can that red-eyed creature be killed?" asked Xiao who was trying to calm down.

Chan shakes. "No! I've never seen creatures like them get annihilated, let alone in his own world!"

"Then what should we do now? It's all because you brought us here!" Xiao frowned while pointing at Chan with his index finger.

"Do you have any other choice to escape from the Taoists? did you look so confused? and here I am trying to save you!" Chan stared intently at Xiao.

"Whatever! most importantly promise me, you won't keep me stuck here forever!" xiao said with a tone of emphasis. Chan immediately threw away Xiao's face, he already did not know what to say. The two were listening to the movements of the red-eyed creature, which seemed to have passed through their hiding place.

"We're out of here now!" said Xiao who seemed to have started to dare, he snatched the Chan candle and led the way first. They're back down the hall.

"Xiao don't try to be brave against that creature! he can eat your soul!" Chan likened his steps to Xiao, then tightly grasped the fingers of the man.

"How about we try!" added Xiao while still stepping foot forward.

"Just don't mess around, we have to find the key to get out of this place" Chan replied.

"You keep talking about the key, what is it?"

"Lock or tiger to get out of here."

"What?"

"We will know when we see the most different things among others." Chan looked convincing.

Xiao and Chan were still walking quietly in the hallway. The two just looked around, and forgot that the red-eyed creature could also walk on the roof. They had no idea the creature was hiding above, and were waiting for the right time to attack the two humans before him.

"See Chan! there's a door, maybe it could be a way out." Xiao ran towards the door, and tried to pull the handle.

"Let's see, it seems like an ordinary door" Chan said.

"This is Chan's big door!" Xiao insisted.

Unexpectedly both Xiao and Chan sensed that there was mucus dripping down their heads. The atmosphere became increasingly tense when the two heard a giggling sound coming from the roof. "Damahihi!"

As a result Xiao rushed to open the door in front of him, he had no intention of looking up.

"Chan why don't you help me?!" furious Xiao who managed to catch Chan just peeked. Hearing Xiao's complaint, Chan immediately helped. Both of them tried to pull the doorknob as hard as they could.

"Wellam!rkkkhhh!" the screams of the red-eyed creature were deafening. Furthermore, he directly tried to attack Xiao and Chan. But it was too late, because the two humans who were about to be attacked had already made it out of the door.

Xiao and Chan's breaths were wheezing when they had made it out. "Now what will the creature pursue again?" xiao asked, holding both knees.

"No! all creatures here have territory. So they can't leave their place, except for the pursuers," Chan explained, still regulating his breathing.

"That's great! now we better find the tiger thing," Xiao suggested, he spread his gaze all over. But unable to see anything, due to the thick fog that was blocking.

"Your hat, don't-don't it's the tiger!" guess Chan.

"Okay, maybe because that red-eyed thing touched him? I think we should go inside again to look for him." Chan swallowed his saliva.

"No. . need. . ." Suddenly the ghost of the wide-mouthed grandfather spoke in his whispering voice. He pointed his hand in a certain direction. It seems the ghost is trying to tell you something.

"What is he doing?" Xiao wondered.

"He seems to know his tiger thing! and be out there!" Chan stared flat at the thick fog that covered the road.

"Did you just trust that old creature?" Xiao shook his head in disbelief.

"Xiao, you really are a beginner. You don't even know which ghost to believe. I'm telling you, old man ghosts always say the right thing!" obviously Chan with his flat expression.

"But, can we ask him what the tiger thing is?" ask Xiao seriously.

Chan nodded and immediately looked towards the ghost grandfather was in. "Does Grandpa know what the tiger is?" ask Chan slowly.

"Jem. . . ba. .tan. . ." The old man's ghost replied in a whispering and soft tone. Then smile with his wide mouth that almost touched both ears. Xiao who saw him instantly felt shudder in horror.

"Well, let's go where he showed me!" Xiao walked ahead first. But immediately stop his steps, realizing Chan did not follow him.

"Chan's? why are you just quiet?" insist Xiao looked at Chan questioningly. He saw that there was doubt on the face of the girl he was staring at.

"Come on!" Chan ran over to get closer. Without ba bi bu, Xiao immediately clasped Chan's hand.

"Honestly, fog is scarier than darkness. Because this candle can't work at all!" lament Xiao.

"Keep the road!" decreed Chan.

"What if we get lost?" Xiao hesitated.

"It's important we don't get off this trail. Believe me Xiao, this place is not much different from the real world!" Chan tried to calm Xiao down, but he was also being overwhelmed with intense fear.

"Chan, you're trying to calm me down. But your hands are trembling" said Xiao, now looking back to look at Chan.

"Easy! let's just walk!" Chan doesn't care.

After a long walk together, from a distance began to look a bridge. Sure enough, the color does look different from other objects that are there. If other objects tend to be dark and mossy, while the object that becomes the exit tiger looks luminous and prominent.

"Come on!" Xiao and Chan rushed over to the bridge. But it stopped when their hands were suddenly released.

"Let'soooooo!" Chan screamed hysterically.

"Chaaaaan!!!" yelled Xiao who was no less loud. He sees Chan being pulled by a sharp-hoofed black creature. The creature had a rotten face filled with maggots, and had black smoke enveloping its surroundings.

"Haha! finally we meet again Chan!" he said as he looked at Chan who was slumped to the ground. Xiao who saw that immediately threw the candle right at the black creature. The creature fell for a moment. But he took something out of his hand and pointed it at Xiao.

Chan who saw immediately got up and pushed Xiao towards the bridge. "Xiao! I kept my promise!" peekik Chan's. Until a barrier appears that seems to be issued by the black creature. That separated the existence of Xiao and Chan.

Bruk!

Xiao fell to the ground and immediately got back up. "Chan! what are you doing?!" xiao Protest. But he was immediately shocked when he realized he had returned to the real world. Around him were only ordinary shady trees lined up.

"Chaaan!" screeches with eyes that wander everywhere. Then ruffling the hair frustrates.
