“Gah! Gah!”
“Gah!”
“Gah! Gaah!”
The continuous calls seemed to be responding to each other, echoing back and forth.
The design of the gymnasium had a bit of an echoing effect. With the overlapping sounds, it became difficult to determine the direction and the number of the sources.
Wei Fuyuan felt his hair stand on end and took a step back, standing back to back with Bei Quan.
Soon, more dark figures emerged from the various crevices in the ruins: all of them resembled strange lizards with wings.
“Gah! Gah!”
The rough and harsh voices continued.
Bei Quan counted, including the first one he injured, there were currently four of these winged lizard creatures in their line of sight.
“Very well...” Bei Quan smiled and whispered, “Excluding the one who fainted, we have four people, just enough for each of us to take one.”
Wei Fuyuan stood very close to Bei Quan, back to back, and naturally heard it.
“It’s not the time for jokes!”
Wei Fuyuan had to admit that he was nervous and unsure.
He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to protect Bei Quan properly.
“Do you have any ideas?”
Bei Quan shook his head.
“If we were outside, I could still think of a way.”
He replied softly.
“Unfortunately, here, we can only fight hard.”
Just as Bei Quan finished speaking, those four winged lizards, resembling the Feathered Serpent God, seemed to reach some kind of consensus.
They flapped their wings together and flew into the sky, rushing towards the four of them. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
“Get out of the way!”
Bei Quan shouted to Luo Yin, “Protect your sister!”
The first winged lizard had already pounced in front of Bei Quan and Wei Fuyuan.
Wei Fuyuan reacted quickly.
He took a step and stood in front of Bei Quan, pulling out the unremarkable rolling pin from his waist and gripping it in his hand.
Golden light overflowed from his palm as the power of merit quickly enveloped the entire rolling pin.
At the same time, the large lizard opened its blood-filled mouth and lunged towards him.
“Haa!”
Wei Fuyuan swung the rolling pin and forcefully hit the monster’s nose.
Thud!
“Gah!”
The dull sound of a heavy object making contact with flesh and the miserable scream of the winged lizard sounded together.
The monster was in pain, thrashing and twisting its head. It suddenly extended its robust front claws, which were covered in hooked-shaped nails, reaching towards Wei Fuyuan.
Wei Fuyuan twisted his body, grabbed Bei Quan’s waist with one hand, drew a circle with one foot, and swiftly and agilely avoided this second attack with his beloved partner, creating some distance between them and the monster.
At that moment, the second and third lizard monsters arrived.
“Not bad, pretty smart.”
Bei Quan praised softly.
After all, these defensive talismans were just half-finished ones hastily written on gauze, their effectiveness was limited and couldn’t be relied upon for too long.
He sped up his drawing speed for the talismans.
At this moment, Wei Fuyuan had already arrived by the girl’s side.
He saw that Luo Lan had been bitten on the shoulder by the fourth giant lizard, seemingly in so much pain that she couldn’t even make a sound.
However, her one remaining hand was still pressed against the lizard’s body, occasionally emitting a small spark, similar to a low-quality lighter with insufficient fuel.
This little flame certainly couldn’t do anything to the thick-skinned giant lizard.
The monster didn’t even bother to pay attention, it just tightly bit onto Luo Lan’s shoulder, sucking the fresh blood flowing from the wound.
——If it doesn’t let go soon, this girl would definitely be in danger!
Just as Wei Fuyuan was about to rush forward, he keenly noticed a military knife on the ground.
He recognized that knife. It was the one he found in the supply pack earlier, which Luo Yun had taken. It seemed that Luo Yun had rushed forward with the knife to save his sister, but had been swatted away by the monster, causing the knife to fall to the ground.
Without hesitation, Wei Fuyuan picked up the military knife, and a surge of righteous power enveloped the blade.
“Charge!!”
With a loud shout, he leaped high into the air, using his weight and the momentum of his descent as a boost, and swung his arm down with the knife.
“Poof!”
The blade pierced through the thick scales of the giant lizard, entering its body.
Unfortunately, the military knife wasn’t long enough to hit its vital points.
But this strike was enough to make the lizard feel pain. It released its grip on Luo Lan’s shoulder and retaliated with a tail swipe.
Wei Fuyuan didn’t have time to draw his knife, so he quickly dodged, but he was still struck on the calf by a powerful tail. He stumbled forward a few steps, barely managing to steady himself. Meanwhile, the lizard was lunging towards him.
“Holy crap!”
Wei Fuyuan turned his head and saw a wide-open bloodthirsty mouth.
This time, he didn’t have a rolling pin to block it.
He could only cover his arms with the power of merit, bite the bullet, and use his arms to block the sharp fangs.
At the other end, where Bei Quan was, the two giant lizards have scratched and damaged three out of the four talismans, and the protective formation had been breached.
As the red light faded, the lizards let out victorious roars, flapping their wings and pouncing directly toward their prey within the formation.
Bei Quan’s spell also connected to the last stroke at this time.
The red light flourished.
With a loud “bang”, four shimmering spheres of crimson fire burst out from the formation, resembling four spherical bolts of lightning, shooting toward the sky.
“Traverse the Nine Heavens, The Heavenly Thunder shall descend– Urgently, hear my command!”
The four light spheres flew toward the four lizards at the talisman’s command, piercing through their wide-open throats and reaching deep into their bellies.
“Boom!”
Four muffled low roars resonated, with no more than a one-second gap between each thunderous sound.
Apart from Bei Quan, no one knew what those four crimson spheres had done inside the stomach’s of the giant lizards.
Anyway, after the noise, all four monsters turned on their stomachs and fell to the ground twitching. Although they were not dead, they could no longer move.
Wei Fuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
“Go check on Luo Lan’s injuries!”
Bei Quan was far away, so he called out loudly.
Wei Fuyuan hurriedly ran to the girl’s side and turned over her bloody body.
“Ah Lan! Ah Lan!”
At this moment, Luo Yun also crawled up from the ground, limping towards his sister, his face covered in bloodstains and tears.
