Master Jingyuan heard the familiar voice and furiously punched Yunyan's back, "Monster! It's that!"
"Let's go, wipe it out!!"
Lin Xi was the first to rush to the front.
Yunyan, carrying his master on his back, fell far behind.
Master Jingyuan craned his neck, but he still couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly.
He urged anxiously, "Disciple, don't fall behind."
Yun Yan watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance and quickened his pace. "My junior master is too fast, but I won't lose him."
Ling Xiao fell behind by one step.
The four disappeared into the blood mist.
...
At this moment, Xu Yuan hugged the child tightly, "Nantian, don't be afraid, everything will be alright in a moment."
Nantian covered his eyes and said in a childish voice, "Master, I'm not afraid. Abbot Uncle will come to save us."
Xu Yuan sighed.
Jingyuan used himself as bait to lure the monster away. He suppressed his grief and led the others to hide in the backyard, but they couldn't get out no matter how they tried.
An eerie white mist enveloped the entire Taoist temple, so Xu Yuan had no choice but to find a place to hide.
Time passed by, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Xu Yuan swallowed hard. "You guys stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
Boom—!!
The artificial hill where he was hiding collapsed, and a tentacle with a metallic sheen shot straight toward the southern face of destiny.
Xu Yuan bent down to protect the child in his arms, but his arm was cut by the tentacles, and blood gushed out immediately.
"Don't worry about me, hurry! Let's go!!"
Xu Yuan carried Nan Tian and fled in all directions, only to bump into two strange people.
A man and a woman; the man has a human body and a wolf's face, while the woman's entire body is made of wood.
The two of them inexplicably started fighting with the tentacle monster, cursing and swearing at each other as they fought.
"Aaaaah! That damned monk, I'll definitely kill him!!"
"I can't fall! I haven't avenged my brother yet! What the hell is this? Die!!"
Xu Yuan was able to catch his breath. Regardless of who these two were, dealing with the tentacle monster together was the important thing.
However, he didn't last long; his body grew weaker and weaker, and he couldn't use his spiritual power at all.
The white fog is strange; it's poisonous!
Before they could even see the tentacle monster's face, they were hung up and left to die.
Xu Yuan sighed and glanced at Yuanqing Temple one last time. Dying here was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
My senior brother has been out of contact for so long; I'm afraid he's in grave danger.
Xu Yuan secretly wiped away his tears, "Senior brother, please walk slowly on the road to the Yellow Springs, we've come to accompany you..."
"Zzzzz!!"
A sharp cry rang in my ears, the tentacles in front of me shook violently, and pain spread throughout my body.
Xu Yuan closed his eyes and held onto Nan Tian tightly. "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
Although Nantian was young, he understood. He patted his master's big hand and said, "I'm not afraid, and neither is Master."
The abbot said never to be afraid, because they have people behind them, including the junior master.
Oh right, the junior master will definitely come to save him and his master.
Nantian peeked out through the gaps between his fingers and silently called out to his junior master in his heart.
Suddenly a golden light flashed, and he was extremely excited. "Master, the God of Light has arrived!"
Xu Yuan looked completely bewildered. "Huh???"
Have you been watching too many animated films, causing you to hallucinate?
However, the next second, the power binding him disappeared, proving that this was not an illusion.
Xu Yuan and Nan Tian plummeted rapidly.
The two were about ten stories above the ground; if they fell, they would definitely be smashed to pieces.
"Aaaaaah—!"
The sharp wind lashed against his cheeks, and Xu Yuan couldn't help but scream, using all his strength to protect Nan Tian.
It's upside down, face up, about to hit the ground.
At the crucial moment, a gentle force supported their waists and lifted them up gently.
Who has such superhuman strength to catch two people?
Who has the ability to sever the monster's tentacles with a single sword strike?
Who risked their life to save people?
All of this is self-evident.
Xu Yuan opened his eyes, and a familiar figure stood in front of him. He could no longer control his emotions, and tears gushed out like a spring.
"Waaah, little grandmaster, waaah..."
Nan Tian looked around and decided to follow his master's example. He forced out a tear, "Waaah, little grandmaster, the bad guys are bullying us, waaaah..."
An elderly person and a child pouted, their tone and expressions identical, as if the child were tattling to their parents.
Lin Xi slapped her forehead and said, "Alright, stop crying."
Xu Yuan realized his embarrassment and wiped Nan Tian's face. "My little master said, no crying."
Nan Tian's eyes were full of doubt. "Master, I didn't cry. You were scared and cried."
Xu Yuan turned his back and blinked frantically, "Nonsense, Master broke out in a sweat protecting you."
Nantian was even more puzzled, "Eyes can sweat?"
“We’ll discuss this later.” Xu Yuan grabbed Lin Xi’s trouser leg. “Little Grandmaster, thank you for coming all this way to save us…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xi slapped his hand away and rushed towards the monster, saying, "Find a place to hide."
"ah?"
Xu Yuan, lacking experience, sat there blankly.
Suddenly, a jet of water poured down from above, soaking him completely.
Xu Yuan was stunned. "What is this?"
Within the white mist, tiny, colorful paper figures could be vaguely seen darting about.
The golden paper figure is in command.
The green paper figure sprouted countless hands to harass the monster.
The blue paper figure releases water.
The black paper figure sets fire.
A white paper figure is crouching on the ground to catch people.
Screams rose and fell, and the disciples of Yuanqing Temple fell one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Xiao Jin shouted, "This way, catch it!"
"Brother Jin, I'm here."
Little Tu ran around the whole field, its body gradually swelling and growing larger, becoming both soft and elastic.
