Chapter 261: Is This The Time To Praise The Enemy?
Sister Xueliu opened her mouth to speak, but another character came out of her mouth: “Moo!”
Along with this character came a loud fart she let out.
Nan Yichen: “…Croak!”
“Pfft—!”
The two performed like a duet, one croaking, one mooing, interspersed with the constant pffting sounds of farts.
Nan Yuanman saw the two of them stop their hands, then flipped onto the table, hands on hips, fiercely glaring at them with a babyish ferocity: “Are you sober now?”
“If you’re still not sober, I have other talismans!”
Nan Yuanman couldn’t truly harm Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen, so she couldn’t use thunder fire talisman or heavenly lightning talisman; she could only use all the weird talismans she had researched herself.
It seemed now that the effect was pretty good.
Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen also came to their senses; they had already escaped the illusionary realm.
After all, the illusionary realm they had just experienced was full of danger, and every transformed person who appeared struck with killing moves; it wouldn’t be like this Nan Yuanman, using harmless talismans that only embarrassed them.
Sister Xueliu covered her face and weakly spoke: “Moo…”
Nan Yichen nodded: “Croak.”
He was sober now, completely sober.
Nan Yuanman’s talismans weren’t very harmful, but they were extremely insulting; if the other 908 members found out he had become a frog croaking nonstop…
They would laugh him to death!
But Nan Yuanman didn’t trust them, standing on the table without getting close, vigilantly staring at them: “What did you experience after your souls left your bodies? Why did you attack me as soon as you returned?”
Sister Xueliu: “Moo moo moo!!”
Nan Yichen: “Croak croak croak!”
The two mooed and croaked for a long time, and Nan Yuanman listened until her eyes were spinning like mosquito coils, but she still couldn’t understand what they were trying to say.
Sister Xueliu anxiously scratched her head, pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket, typed a few words on the screen, and held it in front of Nan Yuanman for her to see: [Remove the talismans on us first!!]
Nan Yuanman looked innocent: “The moo moo talisman and croak croak talisman have no way to remove them; you can only wait for the effects to wear off.”
“The duration of these two talismans is three days.”
Three days?!
Sister Xueliu’s eyes went black, feeling like the sky had fallen.
Nan Yichen was even more in despair.
Nan Yuanman, though in the wrong, was full of righteous indignation: “Who told you to attack me first? This was self-defense!”
Sister Xueliu: “…”
Nan Yichen: “…”
At a loss for words.
Indeed, it was they who, not being sober, attacked Nan Yuanman first; if Nan Yuanman were a bit weaker… she really would have been hit just now.
Sister Xueliu tightly closed her mouth, deciding that for the next three days she would be a mute!! She absolutely wouldn’t say a single word!
“Don’t you have mobile phones? We can type to communicate!” Nan Yuanman cleared her throat twice, sat on the stool, and said.
Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen nodded with tense faces; they could only do that.
Just as Nan Yuanman was about to tell them about the spider silk, she sensed something and turned to look toward the window.
Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen sharply turned their heads to look, their faces showing some vigilance.
Bai Wenyin, who had gone to Old Master Nan’s house, floated in leisurely, stunned for a moment upon seeing the two extra people in the room, then asked very familiarly: “Yuanman, are these your friends?”
Nan Yuanman nodded: “Yeah, this is Sister Xueliu, and this is Brother Nan Yichen.”
“Hello, I’m Bai Wenyin.” She smiled at the two: “Yuanman’s mother.”
At these words, Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen showed some surprise on their faces and nodded slightly to her in greeting.
“Yuanman, I just saw a lot of wild vegetables outside; how about Mom picks some later and cooks them for you?” Bai Wenyin said excitedly: “The gnocchi soup I make with wild vegetables is super tasty! I guarantee you’ll want seconds after one bite!”
She hadn’t cooked for Yuanman yet!
Nan Yuanman had never eaten meal cooked by her parents, nor gone digging wild vegetables with her mother.
Before, she had always gone digging wild vegetables alone with the aunts in the village; they dug so fast! She dug one, and they could dig five or six!
Nan Yuanman felt tempted inside and wanted to go dig wild vegetables with Bai Wenyin, but she hadn’t forgotten the main matter, so she pursed her lips and said: “Then be careful.”
From Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen losing their souls, and those strange spider silks, it was clear Jiang Zhen had definitely come to Batang Village.
She just didn’t know where she was hiding now; the enemy was in the dark while she was in the light, so it was best to be cautious.
Bai Wenyin nodded with a smile: “Of course, I still have my hundred little things to do! I definitely won’t take risks!”
Nan Yuanman blinked her eyes, wanting to ask what the hundred little things were, but before she could speak, Bai Wenyin flew away again.
As soon as she left, Nan Yuanman took Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen to the field to observe, and also sent them the photo of the spider silk pattern.
“You’re from 908, so you should know more about formations than me; take a look, is this pattern a formation eye left by someone setting up a formation?”
Sister Xueliu looked at the pattern on the mobile phone, her pupils shrinking slightly; this was… an R country formation diagram!
She quickly typed words and converted them to voice: “Where did you see this pattern? Are there many?”
“In the field, there are many.”
Upon hearing this, Sister Xueliu and Nan Yichen quickened their pace; Nan Yichen disliked Nan Yuanman’s short legs being slow, so he picked her up in his hand and strode swiftly.
The ten-minute journey was shortened to three minutes, and upon reaching the field edge, they saw dense red spider silk everywhere.
Those spider silks seemed alive, slowly flowing under the slightly dim sunlight, the patterns on them seemingly flickering.
Nan Yichen put Nan Yuanman down and quickly approached to observe.
As soon as he got close, rustling sounds arose nearby, and countless rice grain-sized red spiders emerged from the ground, the ground they crawled over emitting a faint sizzling sound, leaving trails of corroded paths on the ground.
Nan Yichen’s eyes darkened, and he punched the ground with a fist; the spiders gathering toward him were instantly blasted away, shredded and dissipated by an invisible force.
The spider silk remained unmoved even after being impacted by the force.
Nan Yichen observed the spider silk pattern here, and after a moment, he typed quickly on his mobile phone with an extremely ugly expression: “I’ve seen this pattern before; it’s an R country formation for summoning shikigami, and now the formation is already half complete!”
“If the formation is fully completed, the shikigami they summon will devour the life force of all living beings here! Turning this place into barren dead land!”
He had once gone on a mission with his superior and personally saw a village on the Universe Country border buried with a shikigami summoning formation; as soon as the shikigami was summoned, all the people in the village were drained into dry corpses within a short minute!
Nan Yuanman was puzzled: “Shikigami, what is that?”
Sister Xueliu: “Shikigami is sorcery of onmyoji; they can raise evil ghosts and resentful spirits to help them fight.”
“And this formation is to awaken the spirits that have long slumbered in this land in their country to serve as their puppet helpers.”
Nan Yuanman’s eyes lit up slightly: “That’s kinda cool!”
Nan Yichen: “…”
Sister Xueliu: “…”
Is this the time to praise the enemy?!
