Chapter 193 Besieged on four sides
Li Xiaolin was woken up by the noise. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to find Cheng Ai and Ye Jingke looking surprised. "Xiao Ai? Jingke? Weren't you recording 'Dare to Be Here'? Why are you back?"
When Cheng Ai came to the Lü family to pick up fruit and snacks, she was either sleeping or out, so she had no idea that the teleportation talisman existed.
Lu Hanmo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, composed himself, and leaned out with a warm and gentle smile. "Xiao Ai'ai and Jing Ke suddenly missed you while recording the show, so they decided to use the talisman to rush back. They didn't want to disturb you, but my hands and feet just wouldn't obey me, and I accidentally bumped into the bed and made a noise."
Li Xiaolin gave him a perfunctory smile, then turned her gaze to Cheng Ai's face. Seeing that the other woman was in a disheveled state, a hint of heartache appeared in her eyes. "Why are you in such a mess? Go to the bathroom and take a hot shower, then get a good night's sleep."
After Ye Jingke finished putting up the four amulets, he walked to the bedside and pulled his girlfriend up, politely declining, "Xiaolin, thank you for your kindness, but Ai'ai and I have things to do and can't stay any longer."
After saying that, the two left hand in hand. Before stepping into the blue vortex, Cheng Ai said gratefully, "Brother Lü, I'm sorry to have troubled you this time. I will definitely repay you handsomely once this is over."
Lu Hanmo scratched his head and waved his hand dismissively, "Compared to how you helped my wife, taking care of a few people for one night is very easy."
Cheng Ai smiled and said, "Let's stick to the facts. You don't need to overthink it."
The villa returned to tranquility. Lü Hanmo called to have five sets of brand-new clothes delivered and quickly returned to his bedroom.
Seeing his wife staring curiously at the amulet in the corner, he took off his shoes, got into bed, wrapped his arms around her waist, and explained in a low voice, "Your pregnancy is unstable. Xiao Ai was worried that something might happen to our daughter, so she made some arrangements."
Li Xiaolin leaned gently against Lü Hanmo's chest and murmured softly, "She's thoughtful."
On the other hand, the situation is extremely dire.
A man and a woman were steadily held up between heaven and earth by a blue protective shield. Above them, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and a storm raged. Below them, an icy river surged with tremendous force, and countless sea creatures frequently leaped up and then fell heavily back down.
Close to the water's surface, pairs of deep green eyes stared intently upwards, their gazes filled with greed and excitement.
Millions of years ago, we acted too ruthlessly and missed the chance to taste the celestial being's spiritual power. We absolutely cannot miss it again this time.
"Brothers, say hello to the old acquaintances first." With the leader Black Moon's command, dozens of henchmen cupped their hands to their mouths and made a sound that was inaudible to ordinary people.
In an instant, a dark mass of fish and shrimp formed several giant ladders that reached the feet of the two people in mid-air. At the very top, a shark swung its tail and leaped, pouncing on the two with lightning speed.
Ye Jingke lowered his eyes, gathered spiritual power in his left hand to summon a crystal bow, and drew the string repeatedly with his right hand to shoot arrows. Cheng Ai, on the other hand, calmly waved fire talismans, her expression particularly composed.
The shark was hit, and the fish and shrimp were burned, falling into the water with a splash.
The ghosts intended to launch a second attack, but before they could act, they discovered a massive net of lightning descending from above.
"Back to the lair!" Black Moon said, and his body vanished into thin air. Seeing this, the others followed their leader and quickly fled the scene.
Before long, the strong winds and heavy rain subsided, and the sea became calm and still. Only the faint smell of burning in the air proved that a battle had just taken place here.
Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai exchanged a glance and tacitly headed towards the central area together.
As soon as the two arrived, they were enveloped by a strong, pungent black fog.
Hearing a soft, rustling sound, Ye Jingke's ears twitched, and he immediately grabbed his girlfriend's hand and ran quickly.
Cheng Ai turned her head in confusion and looked back, only to see dozens of people appearing and disappearing in the thick fog.
Their skin is pale, their bones are shriveled, and they look like corpses that have been drained of blood, yet they maintain the most perfect posture.
A fierce glint flashed in Cheng Ai's eyes. She raised her hand and threw the jade hairpin, which pierced through the head of one of the people.
The person instantly exploded, turning into a puddle of mud, but in the next second, it horrifyingly reformed into a human body.
Cheng Ai was taken aback and threw out a few more fire talismans. To her even greater surprise, apart from the person who had been hit by the jade hairpin, everyone else was shattered and quickly returned to normal.
She swallowed hard and said hastily, "The bigger and stronger these things are, the better. We can only outsmart them, not fight them head-on."
Ye Jingke brought two fingertips together, recalling the jade hairpin and returning it to its rightful owner. He then offered a suggestion: "How about leading them to the magic array?"
Cheng Ai was drenched in sweat and panting heavily. "We...we're getting further and further away from that place...Even though I'm stronger than most people...I can't hold on much longer..."
Her throat was parched and unbearable. She gritted her teeth and added, "Your method is unreliable... If those things are ghosts... activating the magic circle to suppress them is fine... but... but if the wrong target is targeted... the magic circle will fail... and we'll be in a passive position..."
As soon as the words left his lips, Ye Jingke's expression hardened. He immediately turned around, opened his arms, and Cheng Ai, unable to stop in time, was thrown into his embrace.
She rubbed her sore nose, looked up and frowned, asking, "Why did you suddenly stop? Do you want to fight those things to the death?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Ai noticed something was amiss.
Behind him stood a group of strange figures, motionless. To his left, a lizard with a shark's head and a snake's tail coiled, and to his right, a vicious and ugly dog lay sprawled. Directly in front of him stood a black-haired boy with a white face and green eyes.
Ah, surrounded by enemies on all sides, this is a bit difficult.
Hei Yue smiled and took two steps forward, "Oh my, what wind blew the two Immortal Venerables, Zi Xuan and Lan Ling, here? Greetings, Hei Yue."
Ye Jingke didn't respond, but instead reached his large hand into Cheng Ai's clothes and quickly drew a talisman on her waist.
Before coming to the glacier, he specially sewed a small pocket on his cuff, inside which were two small bags of blood with anticoagulant added, which came in handy now.
Cheng Ai shuddered, her face filled with disbelief. With her eyebrows in the air, this jerk still had the leisure to grope and search. Unbelievable!
She cleared her throat, her face flushed, and demanded loudly, "Is this how you greet the Immortal Venerable? Such disrespect, aren't you afraid we'll beat you up?"
Black Moon's smile remained unchanged, but instead became even brighter. "Blue Spirit Immortal Venerable fell into the volcano and was completely destroyed, while Purple Radiance Immortal Venerable was blasted away and only has one arm left. Do you really have the strength to defeat me?"
Cheng Ai narrowed her eyes slightly and asked uncertainly, "You two groups of ghosts have joined forces?"
"Not bad!" Black Moon smiled approvingly, then lightly tapped the ground with her toes. "Brother, come out. We can finally avenge ourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground trembled violently, and men with pus-filled faces emerged from the earth.
They were entirely crimson, covered in black ants, hairless, and their skin was so rotten that their bones were visible.
