One of the birds swooped down towards the ball at an extremely fast speed, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.
Ma Tuan was startled at first, then immediately stood in front of Bai Di and instinctively raised the human bones in his hand to resist.
The bird slammed hard against the human bones, making a dull sound. Ma Tuan took the opportunity to swing it hard, flinging it aside. However, more birds swarmed from all directions, forming a dark wall of birds, blocking Ma Tuan's way.
A wave of despair immediately surged in Ma Tuan's heart.
"Why can't people be left safe for a while? This damn world!"
He roared in his heart while thinking quickly about countermeasures.
Just now he saw Bai Di fail in his attempt to use his mental power, so he didn't intend to hold out any hope in this regard.
He stood in front of Bai Di. Ma Tuan knew that if he retreated, he would really be able to see Bai Di offer sacrifices to the sky today.
At this moment, Bai Di suddenly felt the altar was hot, and the shackles and chains that bound him quickly heated up.
He looked down and saw that the altar beneath his feet had begun to emit a faint red glow, like red-hot iron. The originally dim kerosene lamp suddenly became brighter, its soft yellow light gradually turning into a dazzling white.
Bai Di was startled and struggled to break free. But he was completely exhausted, even raising his hands was difficult. He watched helplessly as the surrounding environment changed, but his body was unable to react.
The halo grew bigger and bigger, and Ma Tuan had to step back to block his eyes.
The halo seemed to have enormous energy, making Bai Di feel suffocated and terrified. He knew that if this continued, he might be swallowed up by the halo.
A dazzling golden light shot out from the lamp, illuminating the entire space. The birds were frightened by the sudden light and retreated one after another, but they still stared at them intently.
Bai Di took a deep breath. If he couldn’t figure it out, he would be a fool!
As Bai Di felt more and more dizzy, the halo turned into countless golden rays, which fell on the group of birds like raindrops.
The birds sensed danger and immediately spread their wings and flew high, trying to avoid the fatal blow. However, some birds were still hit by the light and fell to the ground screaming.
Bai Di opened his eyes wide, trying to stay awake. He realized that these lights would not only harm the bird, but also the two of them.
He wanted to speak out to remind Ma Tuan to move away, but he had completely lost control of his body and could only watch as the light was about to shine on Ma Tuan who was standing motionless in front of him.
Bang!
The sound of a door slamming suddenly rang out, and the golden light, thinner than a needle and more abundant than rain, immediately disappeared. The kerosene lamp also returned to its original appearance, and the temperature of the altar also dropped. Bai Di realized that the feeling of suffocation gradually faded away, and he began to breathe heavily.
Those creatures that looked somewhat like nightbirds also quickly retreated into the darkness, and they did not even forget to take away the bodies of their companions.
"Huff, huff, huff"
"Finally I made it!"
A clear voice sounded.
After experiencing darkness, huge light, and darkness again, Ma Tuan and Bai Di saw the light again.
Two figures walked in against the light.
The girl had her cyan hair neatly tied into a ponytail with a badge-like clip at the base. She wore a white silk long round-necked shirt with a black windbreaker on the outside and a huge backpack on her back.
Behind her followed slowly a man in black, wrapped in a black robe and wearing a mask that looked extremely wealthy.
Ma Tuan narrowed his eyes and felt that the man in black had only three words written all over his body: I am expensive.
He was dressed in a black robe embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns, and the collar was decorated with golden piping, highlighting his luxury and nobility.
The mask is even more unique, made of pure gold and inlaid with dazzling gems and pearls, shining with a dazzling light.
Each gem has been carefully selected and polished to present perfect color and luster, making the entire mask exude an irresistible charm.
When he walked in, he seemed to carry a mysterious power that made people fall in love with him. His steps were steady and elegant, as if every step was in rhythm, giving people an unparalleled sense of confidence and majesty.
His presence filled the entire space with dignity and mystery, as if he was the master of this world.
Ma Tuan widened his eyes, looking at the man in black in front of him, and secretly sighed in his heart: This guy really looks so rich!
"Finally, I've made it. Grandpa, they're my friends. Can you help me untie the chain?"
Nan Song confirmed that they were still alive, so he turned to ask the man in black.
"Don't worry, the chains will automatically unlock when the time comes. When the time comes, remember to keep walking west until you see a pond. You can find the exit there by yourself. Don't worry about any attacks. Remember, be quick!"
"Uh-huh"
After Nan Song responded quickly a few times, the man in black disappeared under the somewhat vigilant gaze of Ma Tuan and Bai Di.
Nansong hurried to the two of them.
Ma Tuan couldn't hold back any longer and asked
"Do you still remember what happened before? I woke up here and my head still hurts!"
Nansong thought he would ask the old man first, but the answer he had just prepared was suddenly blocked.
The next thing I saw was Ma Tuan carrying a huge person on his back. When I looked closely, I was scared to death.
She glared at Ma Tuan fiercely, then turned to look at Bai Di, who was pale as paper, with no trace of blood on his lips, and looked very weak.
Seeing this, Ma Tuan also followed Nan Song's gaze and cried out in surprise, "Ah, what's wrong?"
Bai Di gave a wry smile and said softly, "It's okay, I just feel a little unwell."
He could only comfort these two worrying guys when he was extremely reluctant to talk, otherwise they would nag him to death.
Nan Song looked at Bai Di worriedly and asked, "Are you really okay? Do you want me to find you some medicine?"
Bai Di shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I just need some time to recover my strength. I'll be fine in a while."
Ma Tuan breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "That's good, I was scared to death! I thought something happened to you!"
Nansong sighed helplessly, thinking that this Ma Tuan was really a worrying guy.
However, seeing Bai Di so strong, she felt a little relieved. God knew how anxious she was, fearing that the altar would be activated in the next second, and by the time she arrived, the corpse would be completely cold.
Bai Di continued, "I only remember that we finally entered the forest, and I'm not very clear about what happened after that."
Nansong frowned, thinking about what they should do next.
According to what the old man said, as long as they wait for the time to come, they can evacuate immediately, as long as they don't encounter the person who tied Ma Tuan and the other man here for sacrifice.
A slight clicking sound suddenly occurred.
