Zuan felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the most terrifying ghosts in horror movies were those that looked like children or babies. Now, so many of them were crawling towards him all at once. If he were a little timid, he might have fainted on the spot.
Pei Mianman's voice trembled as she asked, "Grandpa, did the world in your dream mention how to deal with them?"
Zuan was on the verge of tears: "No..."
He just happened to know this legend; he hadn't heard anything else.
As the Kuman Thong drew closer, Pei Mianman could no longer restrain herself and unleashed black flames to burn them. In her view, these things must be evil, so the flames would be able to restrain them.
But what happened next almost made her eyes pop out. The Kuman Thong, surrounded by black flames, not only didn't show any signs of pain, but instead giggled and even touched the flames with their hands, as if they were seeing old friends.
Pei Mianman suddenly began to doubt life. You see, her black flames are much more powerful than ordinary flames. Not to mention the human body, they can melt steel and rocks, but they have no effect on these "infants".
Zuan said in a deep voice, "These Kuman Thong were originally made by a secret method in the flames, so it's normal that they are not afraid of fire."
At this moment, a Kumanthong had already arrived beside the two, and Zuan swung his Tai'a sword and slashed at them.
As a result, the bodies of the Kumanthong were as hard as metal and stone, and even when the sharp Tai'a sword struck them, it did not leave a single scratch.
The two defended themselves while dodging backwards. After a while, Zuan breathed a sigh of relief: "These Kumanthong are extremely strange, but fortunately their attack power is not great. If we are careful, we should be fine."
At the beginning, the two of them used fire and swords to attack, but it was difficult to cause them any damage. However, they were, after all, infants, and could not even stand or walk. They could only crawl on the ground, and their speed was not fast. At the same time, their attack methods were also limited.
No sooner had Zuan finished speaking than a cracking sound of bones grinding together came from a nearby pit.
The two men's hearts tightened immediately, because the voice sounded familiar; they had heard the same sound when the skeleton warrior at the gate walked.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw that many of the skeletons in the sacrificial pits they had just passed had risen up and were brandishing rusty spears that they didn't know where they had gotten them from.
"What's going on?!" Chang Ge's attack range was too large, and the dozen or so skeletons seemed to be of one mind, moving in perfect unison like a military formation, with coordination among themselves. The two men were in a sorry state as they dodged.
"These guys don't even have heads, so how can they see us?" Zuan was extremely frustrated. He knew that the skeleton warrior they had encountered before, although it didn't have eyes, still had its head, and the two red spots in its eye sockets could be interpreted as its eyes, so it was understandable that it could see.
But these skeleton warriors, whose necks and above had all disappeared, were not hindered in their movements at all!
"Look behind them!" Pei Mianman, with her sharp eyes, quickly figured it out.
Zuan looked closely and found that there was a Kumanthong (a type of spirit child) crawling behind each of them. Obviously, their bodies were now being controlled by the Kumanthong, so they no longer needed his eyes.
Although the Kumanthong themselves have only average attack power, when they attach themselves to these skeletons, their attack power increases many times over.
Although a single skeleton is not as strong as Zaun and Pei Mianman, when a dozen skeletons are combined and form a kind of military formation, their attack power is multiplied.
With a loud clang, Zaun clashed head-on with the long spears of these skeletons using his Tai'a sword. He felt his hand go numb and almost lost his grip on the sword.
So he immediately changed his strategy, using the unpredictable movements of the Sunflower Illusion to move around among the skeletons, occasionally launching a sneak attack with the Tai'a Sword.
These skeletons' bodies were not as tough as the Kumanthong, nor were they as tough as the skeleton warrior they had encountered outside. Gradually, various sword wounds began to appear on their bones.
Zuan also took a moment to glance at Pei Mianman. He saw that she was surrounded by black flames, which burned the white bones of the skeletons, making them tremble violently. It was clear that their bones could not withstand the attack of the black flames. If it weren't for the protection of the Kumanthong, they would probably have been burned to ashes long ago.
Seeing that she was unharmed, Zuan was completely relieved and focused on attacking the skeletons. He always chose to target their leg bones, and after hitting the same wound several times, the skeletons' leg bones finally gave way and broke, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.
Zuan seized the opportunity to chop them to pieces, making the Kumanthong uncontrollable.
However, the biggest headache is how to deal with these Kuman Thong, otherwise they will run off and control some skeleton warriors, and even if they are not killed, they will be exhausted to death.
On a whim, Zuan took some rope from the glass orb and tied up the falling Kumanthong. Because the glass orb had a huge space, he had bought a lot of daily necessities and put them in it when he was in Brightmoon City. Of course, he also had a lot of things for sneak attacks, such as lime, ropes, and hidden weapons.
If only we had the Soul-Hooking Rope of the Embroidered Robe Messenger, we could probably bind these Kumanthong. Although the ropes he has are of high quality, they are not magical artifacts and may not be able to bind these Kumanthong for long.
But now that things have come to this, he has no other choice but to keep him tied up for the time being.
In this way, he defeated several skeleton warriors and bound a total of seven Kumanthong.
He couldn't help but feel a little smug, and hurriedly reminded Pei Mianman, "Da Manman, you knock those Kumanthong down, and I'll catch them."
He called out several times but received no response. He was startled and quickly turned around to look. He found that Pei Mianman was unharmed, and the skeleton warriors around her were lying on the ground silently, obviously having been dealt with.
