The woman used blood as a medium to draw runes in the air in front of her, though they were simple and crude.
But at the very moment of completion, it suddenly burst forth with a dazzling crimson light!
Blood swirls, and the faint sounds of wind and thunder can be heard.
"If you want to catch up, you'll have to get past me first!" The woman's voice was hoarse, but it carried a resolute determination to fight to the death.
She knew that she had contracted the plague and had lost too much blood, and that she was doomed to die.
But if only those two kind-hearted believers could fight for a glimmer of hope for the villagers who still held onto hope!
Her child will definitely survive!
The straw demon was so angry when it saw the cooked duck fly away that it was filled with rage.
"Damn it! You insignificant ants, how dare you ruin my good time!"
It let out a sharp cry, and its body, composed of withered grass and black mist, suddenly expanded.
Countless streaks of black energy shot out like arrows, viciously rushing towards the woman and the two believers!
Wang De and Li Juan felt a sudden tightness in their chests and instinctively wanted to turn around to defend themselves.
At this critical moment!
"Buzz!"
A pale golden light shield, like an inverted glass bowl, instantly unfolded in front of Wang De and Li Juan!
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless black wisps crashed into the golden light shield, producing a dull bang, but were all deflected and vanished without a trace.
This protective golden light is a talisman bestowed by the mountain god upon all devout believers to protect their lives.
Ordinary demons and monsters cannot break through this barrier, but each person can only activate it once, and they will not use it unless it is the last opportunity.
Wang De felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively clenched his fist.
Once this protective golden light is activated, it means they have lost an important protection and can no longer use it to protect other villagers.
The female believer next to her, Li Juan, also turned pale. She tightened her grip on the weak-breathing child in her arms, and a strong sense of regret welled up in her heart.
If she had known this would happen, she should have practiced her abilities more diligently. If she could be as powerful as Lady Cui and Lady An, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state now, only able to rely on blessings to save her life!
The demons on the other side were enraged when they saw their attacks easily neutralized.
"That damned mountain god again! I'll tear you all to pieces!"
It abandoned Wang De and Li Juan, and instead unleashed all its anger on the unarmed disaster victims!
The black mist condensed into several ferocious claws, which, with a sharp whistling sound, grabbed at the few elderly people and children closest to it!
"careful!"
At this critical moment, the woman who was blocking the way shouted sharply!
The blood-drawn runes in front of her seemed to come alive, bursting forth with even more intense blood light as they spun and met the black mist's claws!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The crimson runes clashed violently with the black mist claws, barely managing to stop them!
The woman trembled, her already pale face turning ashen, and more blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
She poured the last of her life force into these runes!
"Those who can walk, hurry up and leave!" The woman roared at the two believers with almost her last bit of strength.
Wang De and Li Juan's eyes were red and swollen. They knew that this woman was risking her life to buy them time!
"Everyone, hurry! Follow us and run into the mountains! The Mountain Goddess will protect us!" Without further hesitation, Wang De shouted, grabbed a terrified boy beside him, and led the way into the darkness.
Li Juan, holding her child, called to the other villagers who were still able to move to follow closely behind.
"They must all die! Not one of them will escape!"
The straw demon was completely enraged. It no longer cared about anything else and only wanted to torture and kill all the humans who dared to resist it!
The demon's body suddenly exploded, turning into a thick, all-encompassing black mist that swept towards the fleeing refugees and the swaying woman like a tidal wave!
Under such a violent attack, the crimson runes in front of the woman dimmed at a visible speed.
Cracks were everywhere, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.
Her body swayed, her eyes began to glaze over, but she remained fixed on the surging black tide.
My child, you must live!
She murmured to herself and slowly collapsed.
Just when all hope seemed lost!
"call!"
An invisible, transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of the woman, blocking the surging black mist completely.
The black mist crashed against the barrier, making a hissing, corrosive sound, but it couldn't advance an inch!
It's as if this air barrier directly separates two worlds.
On one side were terrified disaster victims, and on the other side were menacing demons.
"Who are you? Are you one of us?" The straw demon's voice, filled with shock and anger, came from the black mist.
Immediately afterwards, several clear bird calls echoed through the night sky, and gentle breezes blew by.
"Demon, prepare to die!"
A clear, cold voice rang out, accompanied by a scorching wave of air!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
One after another, fiery serpents burning with raging flames appeared out of thin air.
It nimbly darts through the air, opens its fiery maw, and bites fiercely at the churning black mist!
"Ah! What kind of fire is this?!"
A bloodcurdling scream erupted from the black mist.
When the black mist encountered the fire serpent, it was like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun; it quickly melted away, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
Under the cover of night, several figures sped towards them.
Leading the group was Luo Yong, wielding a long sword and golden armor, followed by Cui Ying, who looked anxious.
A short, chubby little girl was flying in the air; she was Lin Anniang's youngest daughter, Lin Chan.
