The tribespeople are caught in a life-or-death struggle, and the guest group is no exception.
Chu Xiu has no special abilities, but she has an extremely keen sense of danger. She holds onto the talisman Jiang Nuo gave her and protects the tourists who can no longer run, hiding them in a corner.
She didn't think she could be of much help; in such a critical moment, it would be good enough if she didn't become a burden.
Chu Xiu climbed into the haystack, hiding the tourists inside as well. She breathed softly through her nostrils, " Jiang Nuo and the others are very capable; everything will be alright soon."
I don't know if I was comforting the tourists or comforting myself.
The girl listened intently, her tiny black pupils darting around uncontrollably, rolling from side to side. She made a hoarse sound, her teeth chattering, as if something was stuck in her throat.
Fearing she might bite her tongue, Chu Xiu anxiously looked around and could only crumple the talisman she had just used into a ball and stuff it into the girl's mouth.
"Ah--"
The girl suddenly let out a scream, and a thick Corpse Qi emanated from her mouth.
Chu Xiu was startled and quickly took a few steps back, only to bump her shoulder into something.
"Hmm..."
A drop of foul-smelling blood landed on Chu Xiu's neck.
Her body was stiff, but her will to survive outweighed her fear, and she clenched her fists, waiting for her chance.
"Ha!"
The moment the zombie stretched out its neck to bite, Chu Xiu quickly turned around and punched it. Then, she burst out with incredible speed, grabbed the girl's clothes, and hid in the haystack.
The zombie was hammered several meters away and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Good heavens... Xiuxiu's strength! Kung Fu movie directors should take a look at her!
The cutest twin tails, the most amazing explosive power! So cool!
Look at Jiang Nuo! Why is he playing around like this?!
Jiang Nuo held the two-meter-long red rope and swung it from the altar, hitting the target every time.
The skeletal beast can be hit by a wooden stick as thick as half a person without any damage, but if it is hit by the red rope, it will fall apart in an instant, and its constantly beating black heart will roll out.
He seemed to be having a blast, wiping out all the skeletal beasts within two meters, and piling up mountains of rotting zombie corpses.
But that's far from enough.
They emerge from the forest in an endless stream, having learned to avoid danger zones and specifically target members of their tribe who have little chance of fighting back.
Si Yan observed, unable to help but feel puzzled.
Isn't it said that the gods have a unique ability to give back to their people? I don't see anything special about this.
"Ha!"
A rotten, festering ghostly hand reached out to grab him, and even before it got close, it was already filled with an overwhelming stench of decay.
Si Yan frowned in disgust, stepped aside, raised her left hand with the wristband on, and crushed its corpse in mid-air, her eyes extremely cold.
Dirty things.
He scoffed inwardly, wishing he could shut down his sense of smell.
Or they might overreact, even forgetting that it's a live broadcast.
When she realized what was happening, Si Yan glanced at the buzzing bionic bee.
He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then turned away arrogantly without offering any explanation.
[...?]
[WTF! Si Jiaojiao, aren't you supposed to be weak and helpless? Aren't you afraid of ghosts and monsters? Shouldn't you be whining and running to Jiang Nuo right now!?]
I even naively thought he would explain (sadly)
So it was all a facade!! Si Yan's skill in crushing ghosts with his bare hands was far beyond that of a beginner!
But they got excited! Two strong, two crazy!
Jiang Nuo was busy swinging the ghost with the red rope and didn't notice this side at all. She only caught a glimpse of Si Yan with his head down, hiding in a corner.
" Si Yan! Come here!"
Jiang Nuo shouted, then swung the rope to the other side with one hand, creating a safe passage for Si Yan to run over.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Jiang Nuo asked him.
Even though Jiang Nuo knew that Si Yan could use his Spiritual Power, he still believed that Si Yan needed his protection because of his preconceived notions.
"It's dirty, I'm scared."
Si Yan admitted it without hesitation, then hid next to Jiang Nuo. She wanted to say something more, but when she glanced at the altar, she saw the witch doctor's cane fall to the ground.
She lost her sense of direction, groping her way forward slowly, on the verge of being caught by the zombies.
Jiang Nuo saw it too, and swung the red rope again, but it was just a few inches too short, grazing past the zombie's body.
The witch doctor is still useful to him; he can't die here.
Jiang Nuo only had half a second to think before grabbing Si Yan and jumping off the altar. He flicked a talisman from his fingertips, and it spontaneously combusted without fire.
"Thunder burns and demons vanquish! Pardon!"
Hearing the sound, the old witch doctor was supported by Zhou Ling, who had also rushed over. A look of emotion flashed across her old, scarred face.
"Let me help you to a corner," Zhou Ling said quickly.
Si Yan crouched behind Jiang Nuo, occasionally using his Spiritual Power to create thorns from a distance, effortlessly crushing the walking corpses and wild beasts.
If Jiang Nuo happened to turn around to protect him, he would immediately stop, rubbing his arm with a smirk, as if he had had enough of this scene.
Both of them seemed to be having a great time.
Bullet comments [...]
'Alright, alright, we're not family, we won't enter the same door.'
However, Si Yan's body could not withstand such a high-intensity use of Spiritual Power.
In just a short while, his handsome face turned visibly pale, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, and cold sweat poured out.
He shook his dizzy head and took a piece of candy out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.
He frowned, gazing at the seemingly endless horde of zombies, feeling quite worried.
They can't be eradicated; it's terrifying.
Si Yan flipped his palm, and a faint spiritual flame rose, ready to be thrown at any moment.
Or just set it on fire... Where's the fire coming from?
He turned around in slight surprise, and Jiang Nuo pulled out a large pile of talismans from his backpack and scattered them as if they were free.
"I'll burn you all down!"
Jiang Nuo sounded excited, clearly having had enough fun.
The yellow talisman floated in the air, igniting upon touching the walking corpse. The flames, imbued with Spiritual Power, were inextinguishable and specifically targeted ghosts and monsters.
Jiang Nuo scattered handfuls of the mixture, and even gave a handful to Si Yan to scatter as a game.
Si Yan: "..."
He chuckled and silently withdrew his spiritual fire.
Nuonuo is really amazing.
Zhou Ling was also stunned, and then speechlessly grabbed a talisman and compared it with the one she had bought from Jiang Nuo at a high price that morning.
They're not exactly the same, they're practically indistinguishable.
So what was she doing spending tens of thousands of yuan on!
" Nuonuo, I'm tired..."
Si Yan leaned against Jiang Nuo's back, her voice soft and trembling, reaching his ears through her chest, making him feel sorry for her.
"Goodness, it'll be ready soon."
Jiang Nuo hugged the person tightly, and threw out the last stack of talismans, but they did not immediately ignite. Instead, they floated in the air according to a specific melody.
Jiang Nuo muttered a few incantations in a low voice, his left eye flashing slightly, like a deep abyss, as he scanned the ghosts in the square.
Then skeletons littered the ground, and flames burned.
Under the shocked and fearful gazes of the Bone Witch Tribe members, all the zombies were burned in the fire, and the stench of burning flesh filled the entire square.
The fire burned for several minutes, leaving the square littered with corpses—a scene of utter carnage.
No more zombies emerged from the woods.
Perhaps the supply has been exhausted, or perhaps those who control them have stopped.
