The three of them looked up.

Three menacing-looking, burly men, each over 1.9 meters tall, had already cornered them against the wall.

Who would have thought that the fathers of those three little brats would turn out like this?

He doesn't look like a good person at all!

"It was you who bullied my son?"

The man standing in the middle, holding a stick as thick as his arm, stared menacingly at the wind chimes.

Seeing this, Fengling smiled awkwardly and said:

"Um... Uncle, I think this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

The man snorted coldly, glanced at the two people beside him, and said in a deep voice:

"Beat them!"

As he spoke, he raised the stick in his hand.

Each of them took one and threw it at Chu Sheng and Feng Ling.

Perhaps because Xi Ran is a girl, they didn't make a move on her.

"Wind chimes!"

Xi Ran shouted, and Chu Sheng instinctively covered his face with his hands and closed his eyes in fear.

There was simply no time to unleash a defensive spell, and he was also afraid that his spell might accidentally injure these people.

They are just ordinary people, how could they possibly withstand his spiritual magic?

A moment's hesitation cost him the best opportunity to defend himself.

Just as he closed his eyes, a surge of energy suddenly erupted from beside him.

Buzz—

Bang--

The sound of a heavy object hitting something rang out, but the expected pain did not come.

He opened his eyes in surprise and found that a barrier shimmering with a faint golden light had appeared in front of him.

this...

The other day, Yin Kongmen taught me a second-tier spiritual technique called [Power Coordination Shield]!

Shields of tier three and below, specifically designed to defend against physical attacks!

Was it Xi Ran who released this?

He turned his head and saw a person emitting a dazzling golden light.

It's a wind chime!

How could that be?

How did he release it in such a short time?

The three men in front of them were also surprised to see their sticks inexplicably blocked.

"Run the hell out of here!"

Feng Ling grabbed Chu Sheng, who was sitting dumbfounded on the ground, and started running. When she passed Xi Ran, she picked her up with her other hand.

With one in each hand, as if carrying two sacks of rice, golden light flashed beneath his feet as he ran incredibly fast!

"Quick, after them!"

Those people realized what was happening and were just about to take a step.

Suddenly, something tripped them up, and they all fell flat on their faces, caught off guard.

Chu Sheng looked back and discovered that, without them noticing, a second-tier basic spell, [Binding Demon Spell], had sprouted beneath their feet!

This move seems familiar.

Goodbye!

Wind Chime turned around and called out with a smile.

Chu Sheng looked at the wind chimes with some surprise. Wasn't this guy unable to control his spiritual arts before today?

How come my casting speed and skill in using spiritual arts have improved so much after just one night's sleep?

In fact, the speed at which it was released felt like it had surpassed his!

So, those spiritual spells that hit him, could it be...?

Was this guy doing it on purpose?

"Wind Chime! You son of a bitch, have you been deliberately hitting me these past few days?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the wind chime was thrown off his shoulder:

"Go run away by yourself!"

Chu Sheng was thrown down, and Xi Ran was no exception.

The three of them ran wildly for about ten minutes before hiding in a dark corner.

"Wind Chime, you released your spirit spell so quickly!"

Xi Ran spoke breathlessly, while Feng Ling simply smiled and did not reply.

Chu Sheng, acting like a little kid, kept pounding his arm.

She was hitting him while cursing at him:

"You bastard! You hit me so many times for nothing!"

He wanted to make up for all the suffering he had endured from the wind chimes these past few days.

The wind chimes bared their teeth:

"Move up a bit, hey, right here."

Chu Sheng:? ? ?

With a sudden burst of strength, bang!

He punched him hard.

"Blanching? Seriously?! I'm fucking..."

The two then started fighting, looking like they were about to kill each other.

Xi Ran was completely dumbfounded:

"You two, stop fighting!"

"Hahaha, you bastard, I'll strangle you! Wait, ah! Don't tickle me! Ouch~"

Xi Ran: ? ? ?

They look like they're laughing?

She quickly realized that the two of them were just playing around.

I was speechless.

How old are you two?

He didn't say anything more, just smiled at the two of them, and seemed quite happy.

I wish I could be like that.

She couldn't help but think to herself.

"ah--"

A piercing, mournful cry suddenly echoed throughout the entire town!

It reached everyone's ears, causing eardrum pain.

Xi Ran raised her head and looked outside, her face full of shock.

Chu Sheng and Feng Ling immediately stopped their playful fighting.

The two looked at each other in a strange position, with one riding on the other's back.

Their smiles vanished, and they said in unison:

What was that sound?

Ahh—

The sound was like a shrill female voice, or the moan of a female cat during intercourse; it was extremely piercing and eerie.

Then, another shrill sound was added.

Meow—

Similarly, the sound echoed throughout the entire town!

The sound came from all directions, and the eerie howl made the dark corner where Feng Ling and the others were located even more terrifying and sinister.

The half-moon overhead emitted an eerie, cold white light, faintly tinged with red.

The stars in the sky seemed to be spinning.

The entire town's atmosphere changed drastically at that moment.

By day it's a bustling town, but by night it transforms into a desolate, deserted village overrun by monsters.

At that moment, a layer of golden energy clearly flashed across the sky.

Then, the golden energy swept across the entire town and passed through the bodies of every newborn.

Yin Kongmen's voice appeared in everyone's minds:

[A new monster has appeared in the western part of the town. Category: Animal-transformed monster, eyeless cat. Danger level: Low. Strength: Tier 2. Number of humans eaten: 2.]

[At the same location, two newborn demons have appeared. Category: Human-transformed demons. Danger level: Low, Tier 1.]

[A new monster has appeared in the northern part of the town. Category: Animal-transformed monster, Thousand-Faced Sheep. Danger level: Low. Has consumed 3 humans. About to advance to the third tier.]

[At the same location, three newborn demons have appeared. Category: Human-transformed demons. Danger level: Low, Tier 1.]

"Your mission is to keep the death toll from this disaster below eight!"

"As for devouring demonic creatures, first come, first served! Let's get moving!"

Chu Sheng's spirits lifted upon hearing this:

"Wuhu! Quick, Fengling, let's go north!"

Chu Sheng immediately got up from the ground, and Xi Ran was also ready.

It feels strange to only have wind chimes.
