"Ahhh!"

Deep red blood continued to flow from Ying's eyes. The severe pain made her scream, causing her body to curl up involuntarily.

But the surrounding puppets did not stop attacking, on the contrary, they launched even more fierce attacks one after another.

I saw the puppets opening their mouths one by one, trying hard to open them. Even though their mouths were opened to the limit, to the point where the corners of their mouths began to tear and bleed, and to the point where their bones began to make "cracking" sounds, they still did not stop.

Until the end, their only human-related faces had been deformed, revealing their horrible nature.

"What are they going to do?"

Seeing that Ying seemed to have suffered a serious blow, Guiyan became nervous all of a sudden. She hurriedly asked Xiaonan beside her, but after she finished speaking, she heard no response from anyone.

"Xiaonan?"

Guiyan looked around but did not see Xiaonan. Only the lantern in her hand emitted a dim light. The candle flame flickered without wind, making the shadows around her seem to come alive.

pat!

The clothes that had just been hung on the pole were finally blown off. Only then did Guiyan realize a problem - what was blowing the clothes? They clearly didn't feel any wind.

But before she could figure it out, those swaying shadows really came alive. Countless eyes with tiny pupils grew among them, flickering and blinking alternately, as if countless hidden things in the darkness were watching her.

The shadows penetrated into the clothes that fell on the ground and gradually condensed into a human figure. It stood up and adjusted its appearance, but its face, neck and even wrists were filled with eyes that kept blinking alternately.

Then, Guiyan saw that those eyes suddenly stopped blinking and all looked at him.

"Hahaha, it seems like I really shouldn't have come to the town." Guiyan smiled resignedly. She looked back in the direction of Ying and found that the puppets had completely surrounded her, and Ying showed no signs of escaping.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't help you."

Guiyan turned her head and saw that the shadow monster had stretched out its hand towards her. Before she could blink, the monster's hand was already in front of her.

hum-

However, Guiyan was not hurt at all. The hand just stopped in front of her, and everything around her stopped as well.

Ying's screams disappeared, the "cracking" sounds from the puppets could no longer be heard, and the sound of the wind that had existed around them, which might have caused the clothes to be blown but they had never felt, also disappeared.

It felt like time had stopped and it was eerily quiet all around.

Click!

At this time, a voice finally appeared again. It did not come from anywhere else, but from the body of the shadow monster in front of Gui Yan.

Click! Click! Click!

The sound became louder and more frequent. In just a moment, such sounds were heard everywhere on the shadow monster's body. Its body began to be torn like fragile paper. A white, delicate little hand pierced the monster's body and stretched out from its hand.

"fluorescent!"

For some reason, Guiyan felt that this was Ying's hand. She couldn't help but shout out and consciously reached out her hand.

Sure enough, a force came from that hand, pulling her towards the shadow monster. Gui Yan only heard a "swish" sound, and the monster's body and the surrounding scenery were torn apart at the same time. After a slight dizziness, her body staggered and she fell into a soft embrace.

"Are you okay?" A gentle voice sounded in her ears. She looked up and saw Ying looking at her with concern.

"Ying!" Gui Yan felt warm in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "Hehe, I didn't die."

"Uh." Ying's expression froze, and she shook her head. She didn't continue talking, but said to the other two people around her:

"I'm sorry, but that magic weapon is really great. If it were normal times, it would probably take me a long time to wake up." There was a hint of apology in Ying's voice.

After hearing this, Gui Yan stood up from Ying's arms and saw Sangge and Xiaonan standing not far away. However, Sangge had some burn marks on his body, and Xiaonan had no wounds, but his hands were shaking slightly.

Moreover, the four of them were still in the house, and Sanger also entered the house smoothly.

"What's going on? Were we possessed by evil spirits just now?" Gui Yan asked in confusion.

"It's more than just being possessed. I almost lost my life." Sang pointed to the wounds on his body.

"Weren't you captured by a monster? How are you still alive?"

"Hiss - girl, you don't have to curse me like that. I'm an honest man and I've never cheated you." Sangge curled his lips, looking a little aggrieved. He took out a pill from his backpack, crushed it with his fingers and smeared it on the wound.

He said as he treated the wound:

"You just fell into an illusion." Sang pointed to the outside of the door. Guiyan looked in the direction he pointed and saw the clothes on the wooden pole falling to the ground. It was exactly the same scene as she had just seen, except that this time there were no shadows with eyes, and the clothes had become tattered.

"I just entered the room, and the clothes suddenly came alive, covered with eyes, and then cast an illusion on us."

"However, my junior sister and I both had magic weapons to protect our bodies, so we were not directly hit. We just felt a lot more tired all of a sudden. But you don't have a magic weapon, and you have never practiced, so you fell into the illusion all of a sudden."

"But what I didn't expect was that Ying, we clearly gave her a magic weapon to resist mental attacks, but she still fell for it."

Sanger's expression suddenly became more aggrieved.

"She fell into an illusion and mistook us for enemies. She attacked us without saying a word."

"She raised her sword and chopped at me, and then a thunderbolt struck me. That monster would not just sit there and watch. My brother and I risked our lives to wait for her to recover."

“Hiss—it hurts, it hurts!”

When Sang was talking about something exciting, he didn't pay attention for a moment and actually scratched his wound again, which made him grimace in pain.

After Sangge finished speaking, Guiyan also understood. She probably saw the scene of Ying fighting with the puppet, which was actually Ying beating Sangge. As for Ying's screams in pain later, it was probably a sign that she had escaped from the illusion.

"Alright, Senior Brother!" Xiao Nan's trembling voice interrupted Sangge's words, "It's good that everything is fine. Anyway, the monster is dead. This house should be safe now."

"It's hard to say." Sanger shook his head, "Why do I feel that the clothes are just a gatekeeper."

Bang!

Perhaps in response to Sanger's words, a noise suddenly came from upstairs where everyone was.

"..."

Xiao Nan said to Sanger bitterly:

"Crow's Mouth!"
