818 Get Out
However, as night approached, Jiang Ming and the others did not see Suwen Jinghuai. Liang Sisi felt anxious.
However, Jiang Ming sensed the presence of someone else and immediately covered Liang Sisi’s mouth. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “Don’t talk yet. Something seems to be coming.”
Although his voice was low, Sikong Wuyuan and the others heard it.
Sikong Wuyuan could not help but become vigilant.
Xia Chenjing was ready. He conjured some spiritual energy in his hand and planned to attack the culprit when they broke in.
However, after a while, there was no sound.
Jiang Ming also said to the others, “That person has already left. We don’t know what he’s here for, but it might be the cultivation priest who came to check. No matter what, we have to be vigilant.”
“I think we can’t afford to waste any time. Now that Suwen Jinghuai is gone, we can only go and find him ourselves,” Sikong Wuyuan suggested.
Jiang Ming felt that Sikong Wuyuan’s words made sense. He nodded and said, “We’ll do as you say. We can wait until midnight to go out.”
Liang Sisi could not sit still, but she forced herself to sit down.
She knew that this was the only thing she could do in the current situation.
In the middle of the night, the moon in the Mud Kingdom was red. When Jiang Ming and the others came out, the red light shone on them.
Jiang Ming realized that the red light might harm people’s bodies, so he immediately dragged Sikong Wuyuan and the others back into the house.
Xia Chenjing saw it clearly and could not help but feel strange. “This moon shines on every kingdom, so this red moon should be normal, right?”
Jiang Ming could tell something was amiss. “This is an artificial moon. I don’t know who covered up the original moon with a spell. I’m afraid this red moon will be able to see us.”
Sikong Wuyuan shivered and said, “I agree with that. The red moon is fake. I think we should be careful.”
Jiang Ming continued, “If we use an invisibility spell, the red moon shouldn’t be able to find us.”
Jiang Ming immediately used an invisibility spell.
Sikong Wuyuan and the others followed suit. The three of them quickly left the house, and Liang Sisi waited for them in the courtyard.
After they used the invisibility spell, the red moonlight no longer shone on them.
Jiang Ming heaved a sigh of relief. He led Sikong Wuyuan and Xia Chenjing to the eaves of the house and headed toward the more prosperous area.
Sikong Wuyuan shouted at Jiang Ming in his heart, “Why isn’t there anyone here? Where did those golems go?”
“Those golems might have arrived at that cultivation priest’s courtyard. That cultivation priest is appearing and disappearing like a ghost.”
At this moment, Xia Chenjing heard the sound of gongs and drums. He immediately became nervous and warned Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan in his heart.
Then, they saw the person who was beating the gong.
It was not a human. It was a puppet.
Its cheeks were painted with a very bright blush, and its eyes were wandering like the golems they had seen during the day.
However, it did not lift its feet. It dragged its feet as it walked.
Its head moved around awkwardly.
Sikong Wuyuan felt disgusted and said to Jiang Ming in his heart, “What is this thing? It can actually move. This must be a trick of that cultivation priest. I want to see what this cultivation priest looks like. He uses such strange tricks.”
Xia Chen was also curious and thought to himself, “I seem to have seen this kind of puppet before, but I forgot where. What a pity.”
At this moment, the puppet seemed to have discovered them. Its mouth creaked as if it was being controlled by something. Jiang Ming felt his eardrums hurt.
Sikong Wuyuan looked in the direction of the wooden house, only to find that the puppet was gone.
When he turned his head again, his head was facing the puppet. It was smiling at him.
He was shocked, but he turned around and reacted. He immediately shot out a beam of mana, and his entire body glowed.
The light gathered into a fish and swept toward the puppet.
This fish looked extremely thin and weak, but it instantly turned into a shark-like big fish.
However, unlike sharks, this big fish had saw teeth on both sides.
The wooden puppet seemed to be pulled by someone, and its body was very hard. It directly slapped the big fish to death.
Sikong Wuyuan looked at the big fish in front of him and immediately went up with his bare hands. He intended to twist the puppet’s head off.
However, the puppet’s head and body seemed to be tightly stuck together. It could not be removed at all.
Sikong Wuyuan used all his strength and even added his own spiritual energy, but he still could not break the puppet’s head.
Instead, the puppet turned its head to face Sikong Wuyuan and looked him in the eye.
Sikong Wuyuan saw the puppet’s eyes and stopped moving.
Sensing that something was wrong with Sikong Wuyuan, Jiang Ming turned Sikong Wuyuan around and kicked the puppet, sending it flying.
Xia Chenjing suddenly thought of something and quickly followed Jiang Ming. “Don’t look into its eyes. Its eyes can control people. Sikong Wuyuan might already be under its control.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Sikong Wuyuan had already become like a corpse and was charging straight at Jiang Ming.
His hand went straight for Jiang Ming’s neck. Jiang Ming noticed what Sikong Wuyuan was doing and knocked Sikong Wuyuan away.
Sikong Wuyuan’s hand had just touched Jiang Ming when he fell to the ground.
The puppet did not give up and rushed straight behind Jiang Ming, wanting to strangle him when he was not paying attention.
However, Jiang Ming felt a chill run down his back. He immediately turned around and kicked the puppet away.
However, after the puppet flew away again, other puppets suddenly surged up and surrounded Jiang Ming and the other two.
Jiang Ming and the other two were forced to stick together, but now only Xia Chenjing and Jiang Ming were left standing.
Xia Chenjing looked at the unconscious Sikong Wuyuan and said helplessly, “It will be very troublesome for us to carry another person like this. I think it’s better for one of us to lure the puppets away first, and the other to send Sikong Wuyuan to the courtyard.”
