## Story

While Chen Pi Ah Si and his men wait at the hostel with Uncle Hai, Jason returns with some of his men. He agrees to not continue this night but is determined to try again the next morning. When his men ask Chen Pi Ah Si to go to sleep he refuses, apparently waiting for something.

Ning and Wu Xie join forces and hide out the storm and from the monsters in an abandoned house in the snow. Worried for her health, Wu Xie offers Ning some chocolate, reminding her of her first time when she met Hendry Cox. Ning confronts Wu Xie about his attitude, trusting his uncle even though he tried to kill him but Wu Xie refuses to give up his search and states he wants to understand what changed his uncle to who he is now. Before they can talk further, a sudden noise surprises them. It is revealed to be Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling tells them he was not able to see what attacked everyone but he thinks he might have hurt it. They make it back to the hostel together.

Wang Pangzi scolds Wu Xie for leaving. Wu Xie tells Chen Pi Ah Si he is fine and the man finally decides to go to bed. Suddenly Shun Zi starts praying to the goddess of the mountain, stating they all broke the rules and therefore the coming journey will be harsher than necessary. Ning reports back to an angry Hendry Cox.

The next morning, Wu Xie is woken from a nightmare about his uncle by Wang Pangzi to find out that Da Shan, their team leader and guide has died a horrible death. Joining the others in the main hall, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi encounter a shocked Jason and they decide to explore the "creepy" deaths of his men. Zhang Qiling lets them wait in front of the hostel while he explores what happened to them.

Having waited for a while, Chen Pi Ah Si ties Ye Cheng up in a rope to go into the fog and snow first, the rope to guarantee he will find his way back. Wu Xie volunteers on going first but Wang Pangzi, Ning and Chen Pi Ah Si won't let him. Ye Cheng suddenly screams and the rope comes back empty. Zhang Qiling returns with Ye Cheng slashed and dead, stating he found the man dead when he arrived. Wang Pangzi worries Chen Pi Ah Si might think Zhang Qiling did it.

An enraged Jason runs out into the snow to his men's campsite, to find everything in blood and full of dead men. Jason's subordinate starts screaming he did not do this, making him suspicious. They bury the dead together and Wu Xie tells Jason to watch out for Mark. The man only responds when called by his soldier number. He reveals he had seen Da Shan the night before in the kitchen but had been kicked out and when he later heard a sound he did not explore, making him think he might be responsible for the man's death. Shun Zi prays to Da Shan's grave. They all return inside and get suspicious of Uncle Hai who went missing.

Back at Huo manor, Huo Xiuxiu confronts her grandma the photo Xie Yuchen received before, stating Wu Sanxing might have something to do with Xie Lianhuan's death. Thinking Hendry Cox might have forced Wu Sanxing to do his bidding through the photo, Huo Xiuxiu asks to see Hendry Cox but Huo Xiangu refuses to let her. After getting a call from Xie Yuchen, Huo Xiangu asks him to not let Huo Xiuxiu enter Changbai mountains. Xie Yuchen makes a call to Jason telling him where to find the Heavenly Palace, and gets ready to leave as well.

Back at the hostel, Chen Pi Ah Si gets ready to go up the mountain after Jason left and Wu Xie and his friends are invited to come with them. They start their way up the mountain.

While walking, Wu Xie sees something blinking and Wang Pangzi pretends he needs to pee to check it out. It turns out to be an animal spring trap and they wonder who put it there. Some time later, Wu Xie sees movement and he and Wang Pangzi almost run off but are stopped by Shun Zi. They find a white fox. After it bites Shun Zi he takes it with him.

Chen Pi Ah Si becomes suspicious of Ning and she decides to part ways to follow them more discretely. While taking a rest, Shun Zi tells them to continue on their way, as they need to leave the woods before the night. When asked why, he reveals their name is Hanging Woods. More than a hundred people were found hung in the woods, and when some poor people came to get their shoes, they were found dead in the woods the next morning as well.
