Chu Mu did it on purpose.
The panicked crowd rushed towards Fan Ji and the others without thinking, and Xiao Su was instantly drowned by the crowd around him.
Chu Mu was still riding on his horse, looking down at Fan Ji condescendingly: "Fellow villagers are not horses, do you dare to hit them?"
A complex light flashed across Fan Ji's dark black pupils and disappeared in an instant.
"ah!"
Xiao Su screamed in panic.
Fan Ji put his arm around him, an action that seemed to protect him, but he did not take any further action.
He just hugged the person woodenly.
He didn't even try to stop the noisy crowd.
The head of the City God statue moved with the movement of the townspeople, and his dead eyes revealed bloodthirsty madness.
"throat--"
The ghost statue let out a sharp cry and stomped towards the place where the townspeople were gathered.
"You stay here," Fan Ji pushed Xiao Su's hand away, "I'll go deal with him."
After saying that, he stepped on someone's shoulder, jumped up, and pounced on the strange statue.
The ghost seemed not to notice that there was an extra person on it, and still grinned as it tried to move towards the crowd.
Xiao Su imitated Chu Mu's previous behavior and pointed at the person on the horse:
"Fellow villagers, this is the master of the Fan family's young master. Everyone, hide behind him!"
The panic-stricken townspeople instinctively followed Xiao Su's instructions and tried to seek refuge from Chu Mu.
Xiao Su stood there without moving.
Chu Mu waved his hand and several golden chains shot out, forming a protective circle for the townspeople who were rushing over.
"Xiao Su, come here quickly!" Chu Mu waved to the young boy who was still standing there.
Xiao Su shook his head: "No, I want to accompany Aji."
"Okay then." Chu Mu shrugged and suddenly made a hand gesture.
"Breath-blocking spell."
The breath of all living people around was obscured by the power of the talisman. The statue of the City God lost its target in an instant and turned its head in confusion and irritability.
"deliver--"
Chu Mu chanted a few words softly, and a gust of wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Xiao Su's feet.
All the living auras that Chu Mu had hidden with the breath-isolating spell were suddenly transferred to Xiao Su.
The head of the City God statue, which was still turning, suddenly stopped, and its evil eyes stared at Xiao Su, and it opened its huge mouth and stretched its arms horizontally to grab something from that place.
"Damn it." A vicious look that was inconsistent with his age suddenly appeared on the boy's face.
This viciousness turned into panic and pity when he caught a glimpse of Fan Ji in the strange image: "Aji! Save me!"
Fan Ji jumped down and at the critical moment, picked up Xiao Su from the big hand of the strange statue. After a few jumps, he brought the person to Chu Mu's horse.
"Master," Fan Ji's voice was filled with pleading, "Disciple, please protect Xiao Su."
Chu Mu looked at him dimly, neither saying yes nor no.
"Master Fan, you can go ahead and deal with the City God without worry," a town resident who knew both of them looked at the violent ghost in fear, fearing that Fan Ji would lure him over. "Master Chu will definitely protect this young master."
Fan Ji stared at Chu Mu, as if he would not give up until he got a promise from him.
"...Okay." Chu Mu slowly uttered the word.
Fan Ji solemnly clasped his fists towards Chu Mu and said, "Please."
Not far behind, the ghostly statue of the City God seemed to have noticed the strangeness of this place and was rushing towards this side.
There was no time for Fan Ji to speak. Amid the screams of the crowd, he resolutely jumped out of the safe zone formed by the chains. When he jumped into the air again, he had a flaming sword in his hand.
The sword slashed the waist and abdomen of the strange statue. The strange thing howled twice in pain, and swung its fist even more violently, trying to smash Fan Ji to pieces with one punch.
But Fan Ji's movements were very agile. He jumped, dodged and dodged, and he was able to avoid the attacks of the strange image every time.
For a moment, this terrifying monster could not stand the silence.
A brave town resident approached Chu Mu and said, "Master Chu, shall we run away now?"
"You can't leave." Chu Mu pointed at the chains. "If you move, your soul aura will be exposed. Fan Ji is alone, and there are so many of you here. Which side do you think the monster will attack first?"
The man who suggested escaping shrank his neck: "Then I won't leave, I won't leave..."
"Master Chu," Xiao Su, with a wounded foot, begged him with a pale face, "Can I borrow your horse to ride back? I'll go back and get help."
Chu Mu looked at him slowly, waiting for him to continue.
"Aji, how can you deal with such a huge ghost by yourself? You stay here to suppress it, and I will run out alone. Even if I am targeted by the ghost, a horse can run fast... Besides, you will protect me."
Chu Mu tilted his head, as if considering Xiao Su's suggestion.
Xiao Su rolled his eyes and turned back to encourage the townspeople:
"Fellow villagers, even though the monster seems unable to do anything to Aji now, look at him, he has been running away and dodging, and has no ability to fight back. Once he has used up all his strength, the monster will definitely target us again!"
The common people were persuaded:
"That's right. It's no use just waiting like this. Go get some help."
"Mr. Chu, please lend the horse to Xiao Su."
All the longing eyes were cast towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu gently stroked the horse's mane, looking at Xiao Su with a half-smile in his eyes: "Do you hate my horse so much?"
At this time, the excuse of borrowing a horse was nothing more than an opportunity to kill it.
The young boy, whose thoughts were exposed, had a layer of gloom on his face again.
"Mr. Chu," Xiao Su said word by word, "I just want to save everyone."
"snort."
Chu Mu snorted lightly and then dismounted.
"Compared to going back to the Fan family to seek help, I have a better way, and it doesn't require so much trouble."
As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Su's wrist and said, "It was just a little thrilling."
Xiao Su's face froze and he instinctively struggled with his arms.
However, he was no match for Chu Mu at all.
The viciousness in Xiao Su's eyes could no longer be concealed, and he lowered his voice and said:
"If I get broken by you at this moment, guess what will happen to Master Fan Ji?"
Chu Mu chuckled and squeezed Xiao Su's fingers hard.
Click.
A crisp sound of bone cracking was heard from Xiao Su's wrist.
Before he could react, Chu Mu grabbed his right arm and threw him towards the monster like a shot put.
In order to prevent him from escaping, Chu Mu slapped two talismans on his back.
A gathering talisman and a fixing talisman.
The breath of a stranger instantly attracted the attention of the ghost, and it roared and ran towards Xiao Su.
However, the immobilization talisman made it impossible for the young man, whose face was completely hideous, to dodge.
Seeing the monster's big mouth approaching, Xiao Su had to summon a drop of water from his right hand and then explode it with the power of his mind.
As the water droplets shattered, the strange image of the City God also disappeared.
"Ahh! Ji, save me!"
The boy who fell from mid-air cried out to Fan Ji for help.
