On the red veil, the glowing Weird Crystal flickered a few times.
Then,
it went out.
Luo Fan froze.
He stared at the scarlet silk in his hand, watching the Weird Crystal dim, disbelief welling up inside him.
It failed?
The summoning failed?
How?
He channeled his power again, trying to reach the familiar connection deep within the red veil.
But something seemed to have cut off that connection. It was faint and elusive, impossible to establish.
Luo Fan's pupils contracted slightly.
He remembered.
When the Weird Bride had gone to the Weird Domain where Mother-in-law lived, the red veil had stopped working too.
A Weird Domain was an alternate-dimension space independent of reality, sealed off from the outside, making summoning impossible.
And now...
Fallen Sea Island was likewise shrouded in a rule barrier.
The inside was cut off from the outside.
So the red veil had stopped working.
Luo Fan's heart sank to rock bottom.
He looked up at the seven Weirds around them.
They were staring at him, wariness and confusion flickering in their eyes.
Clearly, they had noticed something too. The dangerous aura emanating from the red veil was fading.
The Giant Ape growled and took half a step forward.
The Scorpion Weird raised its hooked tail slightly, the gleam in its compound eyes growing colder.
The three humanoid rule-types also slowly moved forward.
The Giant Eagle overhead descended again, its sharp eyes fixed on the Qipao Weird.
Only the Mantis Weird remained where it was, the hatred in its compound eyes undiminished.
It was waiting.
Waiting for the others to strike first so it could find an opening to finish her off.
Luo Fan gritted his teeth.
Damn it.
Even my last trump card is useless.
"Luo Fan!"
The Qipao Weird's weak voice came from behind
