The Players had been forced into the northwestern corner. The North Courtyard Bride, who had tried to fight Ghost Madam, had also been tossed aside. The East Courtyard Bride, who had once helped them, was still holding the Old Steward back in the Eastern Courtyard, and they had nowhere left to run.
A cat suddenly meowed nearby.
The next second, the Players watched in shock as the black "protective charm" Ghost Madam had slipped onto her wrist transformed into a little black cat in the blink of an eye. With a meow, it sprang straight at her face.
At the same time, many translucent cats suddenly appeared on Ghost Madam's body, restraining the Strange Creature's limbs and torso and leaving her unable to move for the moment.
Draped over Huang Qi's shoulder, Wen Wen glanced east and suddenly realized that the black braided cord was actually the "protective charm" the "Bride" in the East Courtyard had given them.
"Run!" Sha Linghai had no idea how long those cats that had suddenly appeared could hold Ghost Madam back. He could only seize this chance to dart past her and run toward the Eastern Courtyard.
Huang Qi followed Sha Linghai with Wen Wen over his shoulder. After running a few steps, Lin Wenhua noticed the Scissors Ghost Madam had thrown onto the ground earlier. Almost without hesitation, he crouched to pick them up before catching up with Sha Linghai and the others.
Su Bai naturally knew that novice Players were no match for Ghost Madam. Even though no particularly terrifying Strange Creatures would appear in a Beginner Game, these newcomers could scarcely imagine what powers the Ghost Creatures of this world possessed. That was why he had lent Wen Wen the Peace Knot that the black cat Kai Xin had transformed into.
