Zhong Xueliu opened her mouth to speak, but only managed to utter one more word: "Moo!"
Along with that word, she let out a loud fart.
Nan Yichen: "...Quack!"
"puff--!"
The two of them were like a duet, one croaking and the other mooing, interspersed with loud farting sounds.
Seeing that the two women had stopped, Nan Yuanman flipped over and stood on the table, hands on her hips, glaring at them with a cute but fierce look: "Are you sober now?"
"If you're still not awake, I have other talismans here!"
Since Nan Yuanman couldn't truly harm Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen, and couldn't use the Thunderfire Talisman or the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, she could only use all the strange and unusual talismans she had researched.
It seems that the results are quite good.
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen also realized that they had escaped the illusion.
After all, the illusion they had just experienced was fraught with danger, and every person they conjured up was a deadly attacker, unlike this Nan Yuanman who used harmless talisman attacks that only made them look bad.
Zhong Xueliu covered her face and weakly murmured, "Moo..."
Nan Yichen nodded: "Quack."
He's awake now, completely awake.
The talisman from Nanmanyuan isn't very harmful, but it's extremely insulting. If the other members of 908 knew that he had become a frog that croaks incessantly...
They'd laugh at him to death!
But Nan Yuanman didn't believe them. He stood on the table without getting close, staring at them warily: "What did you experience after your souls left your bodies? Why did you hit me as soon as you came back to life?"
Zhong Xueliu: "Moo moo moo!!"
Nan Yichen: "Quack quack quack!"
The two chattered on for most of the day, and Nan Yuanman's eyes were practically spinning like mosquito coils, but she still couldn't understand what they were trying to say.
Zhong Xueliu scratched her head anxiously, took out her phone from her pocket, typed a few words on the screen, and showed them to Nan Yuanman: 【Remove the talismans from our bodies first!!】
Nan Yuanman looked completely innocent: "There's no way to undo the Ox Talisman and the Frog Talisman; we can only wait for their effects to wear off."
"The effects of these two talismans last for three days."
Three days?!
Zhong Xueliu felt her vision go black, as if the sky had collapsed.
Nan Yichen was even more desperate.
Nan Yuanman, though seemingly in the wrong, retorted confidently, "Who told you to attack me first? I was just defending myself!"
Zhong Xueliu: "..."
Nan Yichen: "..."
I have nothing to say.
It was indeed because they were not fully conscious that they attacked Nan Yuanman first. If Nan Yuanman had been weaker... he would have been hit by them just now.
Zhong Xueliu kept her mouth tightly shut; she decided to remain mute for the next three days! She absolutely wouldn't utter a single word!
“You guys have cell phones, right? Let’s communicate by typing!” Nan Yuanman coughed twice, sat down on the stool, and said.
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen nodded with tense faces; this was the only option.
Just as Nan Yuanman was about to tell them about the spider silk, she sensed something and turned to look towards the window.
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen turned around sharply, their faces showing a hint of vigilance.
Bai Wenying, who was visiting Grandpa Nan's house, floated in unsteadily. She was taken aback for a moment when she saw the two extra people in the room, and asked in a very familiar manner, "Yuanman, are these your friends?"
Nan Yuanman nodded: "Yes, this is Sister Zhong Xueliu, and this is Brother Nan Yichen."
"Hello, I'm Bai Wenying." She smiled at the two of them, "I'm Yuanman's mother."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen showed some surprise and nodded slightly to her as a greeting.
"Yuanman, I just saw a lot of wild vegetables outside. How about Mom picks some and cooks them for you?" Bai Wenying said enthusiastically, "Your mom's wild vegetable dumpling soup is so delicious! I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after you've tried it once!"
She hasn't cooked for Yuanman yet!
Nan Yuanman has never eaten the food cooked by her parents, nor has she ever gone to dig for wild vegetables with her mother.
She used to go to forage for wild vegetables by herself with the village aunties. They were incredibly fast at it! For every one she picked, they could pick five or six!
Nan Yuanman was eager to go dig for wild vegetables with Bai Wenying, but she hadn't forgotten her main purpose. She pursed her lips and said, "Then be careful."
Judging from the loss of Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen's souls, and those strange spider silks, Jiang Zhen must have come to Batang Village.
She just doesn't know where she's hiding. The enemy is in the dark while she's in the light, so it's better to be cautious.
Bai Wenying nodded with a smile: "Yes, I haven't even done my hundred little things yet! Of course I won't take any risks!"
Nan Yuanman blinked, wanting to ask which one hundred little things she meant, but before she could ask, Bai Wenying flew away again.
No sooner had she left than Nan Yuanman took Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen to the field to observe, and sent them the spider silk patterns she had photographed.
“You’re from 908, so you should know more about formations than I do. Look at this pattern, isn’t it a formation eye left by someone setting up a formation?”
Zhong Xueliu's pupils contracted slightly as she looked at the pattern on her phone. This was... a formation diagram from the R country!
She typed quickly, then switched to speech: "Where did you see this pattern? Are there many of them?"
“There are many in the fields.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen quickened their pace. Nan Yichen, disliking Nan Yuanman's short legs and slow running, carried her in his hands and walked briskly.
The ten-minute journey was shortened to three minutes. Upon arriving at the edge of the field, what greeted the eye was an almost dense mass of red spider webs.
The spider silk seemed to come alive, flowing slowly in the slightly dim sunlight, the patterns on it appearing to shimmer.
Nan Yichen put Nan Yuanman down and quickly approached to observe.
As he approached, a rustling sound arose nearby. Countless tiny red spiders, no bigger than grains of rice, emerged from the ground. The ground they scrambled across made a slight hissing sound, leaving behind trails of corrosion.
Nan Yichen's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground. The spiders that had been gathering in his direction were instantly blasted away and shattered and dissipated by an invisible gas.
The spider silk remained unmoved even when struck by the gas.
Nan Yichen observed the spider silk pattern here. After a moment, his face turned very ugly as he quickly typed on his phone: "I've seen this pattern before. It's a formation used by the R country to summon shikigami. The formation is now half complete!"
"If the formation is completed, the shikigami they summon will devour the life force of all living beings here! Turning this place into a barren wasteland!"
He once went on a business trip with his superiors and witnessed a village on the border of the universe being buried with a spell to summon shikigami. As soon as the shikigami was summoned, everyone in the village was sucked dry and turned into a dried corpse within a minute!
Nanman asked in confusion, "Shikigami, what are they?"
Zhong Xueliu: "Shikigami are the magic of Onmyoji. They can raise evil spirits and vengeful spirits to help them fight."
"And this formation is meant to awaken the spirits of the dead who once slumbered in this place to serve as their helpers and puppets."
Nan Yuanman's eyes lit up slightly: "That's kind of cool!"
Nan Yichen: "..."
Zhong Xueliu: "..."
Is now the time to praise the enemy?!
