Everything had happened too fast. I was flipped onto the floor by the burst of air accompanying the little things appearance. There was a wave of enormous pain ca from my broken rib and wrist!
However, I didnt have ti to worry about my broken bones. I felt a strong force pushing beneath my feet as though sothing was about to burst out. I imdiately recalled Uncle Baos instructions and desperately pressed my feet down on that circle.
Luckily my legs were long enough. Although I had toppled over, my feet were still within the red circle. The ground trembled for a while before growing calm again. I let out a long breath before gathering my strength to look around and see what had happened!
I saw that little monster screech wildly and rush towards the gentle slope as expected. Before it could reach the trees, it was blocked on either side by Uncle Bao and Ah Zhan.
It leapt and turned, seeming to sense Ah Zhan was relatively weaker, and pounced towards him. However, despite being forced to react hastily, Ah Zhan still calmly drew his seals in the air without taking a single step back. Uncle Bao sent a talisman flying at it from the side, forcing it to retreat back!
However, its body didnt touch the ground and it didnt seem to fear the sunlight. It seed to roll around in midair and then descend like a boulder, smashing towards Bao Da Tong who was next to the incense altar!
Watch out! I shouted. Although I disliked him from the bottom of my heart, we were currently united against a common enemy. Besides, I also didnt want him to die. Therefore, I was extrely anxious when I saw he hadnt reacted.
Bao Da Tong let out a smile. He was actually still able to smile at this mont. However, his arms remained still and he rely shrugged his shoulders. It seed he was waiting for the little monster to get closer before making his move. However, before he could do so, that little monster whirled in the air and started attacking Ah Zhan once again.
Its goal hadnt been Bao Da Tong. It just wanted to distract Ah Zhan before once again trying for the only exit!
However, as you know, Ah Zhan is never the slightest bit careless during battle. He also never gets flustered or hesitates. Hes like so rcenary from that tribe, always fighting to the bitter end. Therefore, the little monster didnt succeed at all. Instead, since Ah Zhan had been prepared, it fell into an even sorrier state.
Its trying to flee! Although its not afraid of the sunlight, it still cant stay for long. Dont be reckless. Its enough to keep it trapped! Uncle Bao seed to have realized sothing and shouted.
Understood! Bao Da Tong responded loudly. His voice was louder than the screeching of the little monster. When I looked towards him, he made a face at . Thanks for earlier. Its a sha he chose not to fight . I didnt get to use my sword of seven colors!
He was still so talkative at such a tense mont. I didnt have the ti to bother with him, and kept my eyes fixed on the little monster. It whirled about urgently before it swiftly started climbing up the cliff. It was planning to escape via the cliff!
Da Tong, the formation flags! Uncle Bao ordered quickly. However, his tone wasnt panicked. He had clearly made preparations.
Bao Da Tong once again responded loudly. He pulled out a pale yellow little flag from the bits and pieces arrayed on the altar. He chanted sothing before flinging it out!
The valley wasnt large, but Ba Da Tong was still around a hundred ters away from the left cliff. That flag was made of paper with strange spellscript inscribed in cinnabar. It was only half a foot long. This sort of material couldnt be thrown that far, especially with Bao Da Tongs average physique. He was even a little on the skinny side so he definitely didnt have extraordinary arm strength. Theoretically, there was no way he could have thrown it far enough. It would have been impressive if it made it more than five ters. However, I was astonished to see that despite barely using any strength and rely muttering a few words, the flag shot out like an arrow. It flew swift and true, swishing in the wind as it nailed itself to the top of the cliff.
Beneath the sun, that small flag released a reddish yellow halo. It imdiately descended upon the crown of the little monsters head. Although nothing material appeared, the monster fell down as if it was struck!
Yet the mont it landed, it turned to one of the other cliffs. However, Bao Da Tong repeated his move as well. Thus the sa situation repeated three tis. In the end, the three cliffs were each covered by a yellow flag and the little monster was completely surrounded.
The three flags glowed with yellow light under the sun. At a glance, it could have been mistaken as the suns reflection. However, since I was half-crouched and looking up at them, I could see the yellow aura rging, forming a lid on the small valley. The only way out was now blocked firmly by the two people.
The small monster walked around irritably for a mont before suddenly stopping by the pool.
It had been running around swiftly the entire ti and its back had been turned towards for the most part. Therefore, I never saw clearly what it looked like. Now that it had stopped, I finally saw it!
It was a small monkey less than two feet tall. A very long tail trailed behind it. Its fur was grey and its face was not that of a monkey. It was that of an infant!
It was the infant that had appeared in Zhao Jiangs backpack!
A human-faced monkey was already very weird, but this one had the eyes of a grown man, a toothless little red mouth and an ugly scar on its brows that was crudely stitched up with red thread. Perhaps it had been a rushed job since it was sewn very unevenly. It made its face appear crooked and even more malicious!
Wahhhh It made a sound, but not one of a monkey this ti. It was the crying of an infant. The clear sound spread throughout the entire valley. At the sa ti, its crafty eyes looked around, revealing an angry and desperate gaze.
My hairs rose. I was stunned by this eerie sight!
Look out! Its about to attack! Keep it trapped! Uncle Bao called out. His solemn voice made Ah Zhan and Bao Da Tong turn grim.
I also looked around for a weapon. Although I knew the weird infant didnt attack because of the red circle under my feet, I didnt know what it might do when forced into a corner.
Thus, the weird infant and the three hunters stood facing each other. I looked around for anything I could use. Around were the abandoned things from our camp which we had left in a hurry last night. Most of the things were clothing and food and there werent really any weapons. The only fruit knife was three ters away. My feet couldnt leave the circle so there was no way for to get it.
The only thing available was a small mirror. One of the girls probably brought it to help with putting on her makeup. Without anything else on hand, I instinctively felt like trying to get it. It wasnt far from , but it still took so effort for to reach it. During the tense standoff, I was sprawled on the ground, desperately trying to reach sothing that seed useless.
I stretched out all the muscles in my body, trying to keep my feet in the red circle. I used a branch next to to nudge the mirror towards . It slowly drew closer. When I finally got my hand on it, I suddenly felt the sky darken. Looking up, I saw a thick cloud had drifted over and covered the sun.
In that mont, the weird infant let out an innocent laugh and started moving. It no longer hid in the shade. It leapt into the air and remained there, looking down at its opponents from above. Although its voice was childish, its posture was extrely vicious.
It spat out a red clump. Before I could figure out what it was, it had ford into a red mist that covered the other three people.
Careful, corpse poison! Uncle Bao said. Yet before he had spoken, the other two had already moved. Ah Zhan drew sothing on his face, sealing his seven orifices. Bao Da Tong stuck a talisman to his nose and mouth.
The fiendish red mist continued to sink. There were black threads within the red, making it appear to have been forged from blood. It suddenly halted after sinking for a bit. It thickened like a gel, seeming rather viscous.
Uncle Bao seed to be fine, but Ah Zhans body was tensed as though struggling against an invisible force. Bao Da Tong was worse off, bent over as if being crushed by sothing. His face was redder than the blood mist as he braced himself on the large stone altar!
Uncle Bao sneered coldly. Petty tricks! With a bit of strength, he escaped the grasp of the blood mist and burnt a talisman. Divine Celestial Ling Bao, pacify the body. Souls of the disciple, profound mystery of the five Yin organs. Azure dragon and white tiger, locked in perpetual combat. Vermillion bird and black tortoise, serve and protect my true form. Pressing, like the rule of law.
After speaking, he pointed with his finger. The burning talisman flas flew outwards. It was about to reach the weird infant when it suddenly opened its mouth and blew out a breath. The flas actually extinguished!
Uncle Bao made a sound of surprise, clearly not having expected this degree of power from the weird infant. He shot out another two talismans in succession but they were also blown out by the weird infant. While he was casting his third spell, Ah Zhan suddenly struggled free of his restriction. He got one of his arms loose and struggled to draw seals in the air, pointing at that weird infant as well.
His movents were slow. He seals only arrived as the weird infant was about to blow out the talisman fire again. However, because of this, the weird infant was struck solidly on the face despite having blown out the fire. It was as if it suffered a resounding slap.
As its head was twisted from the blow, Uncle Bao swiftly seized the opportunity. He took several steps in place as if dancing and waved his arms, before crying loudly Break! The blood mist rapidly shrank into a clump before flying back towards the weird infant.
The weird infant spun in midair to avoid its own corpse poison. On the other side, Ah Zhan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell to a seated position. That guy truly has an extrely tenacious nature. Therefore, he would always strain himself when facing off against an enemy.
Get up, its second move is coming! Bao Da Tong snapped out of it and cried out.
This ti, a strong gust of wind ford. It spun into a black ball of spiraling air that bobbed up and down. It concealed the weird infant, making us lose track of it!
The ball of wind remained in the air for a mont before suddenly shooting towards Ah Zhan! It was extrely fast and arrived in the blink of an eye.
Ah Zhan didnt possess much power back then and was suffering from his external and internal injuries. He had relied on his steely courage to block off the exit and had just helped Uncle Bao break the weird infants blood mist. How could he have the strength to resist at this mont? He had yet to react as the ball of air reached him. It was Uncle Bao who struck at it from the side with the peachwood sword. With a crack, the sword snapped.
The ball of air bounced off, light as silk, and rushed towards Bao Da Tong instead!
Co forth, sword of seven colors, and destroy all demons! Bao Da Tong shouted, his tone containing the excitent of finally being able to use his magic weapon. He grabbed the cloth bag he was carrying and pointed it upwards.
No! Uncle Bao cried urgently, seeing that he was unable to go save his son in ti.
The black ball of air arrived before the sword of seven colors could appear!
