Xia Mian's expression was more serious than ever before. If she were here alone, she wouldn't be afraid of anything, but now, there's Lu Zechuan beside her.
To these supernatural forces, Lu Zechuan was like Tang Seng's flesh, possessing a deadly allure for them.
For such a temptation, these creatures, who haven't even gained intelligence, might not even care for their lives!
"Always stay behind me, don't stray away." Xia Mian grabbed Lu Zechuan's hand and stepped up the stairs, one step at a time.
Lu Zechuan obediently followed behind Xia Mian, not saying a word.
As the two of them set foot on the stone steps, just about to enter the courtyard, something seemed to scuttle through the soil underneath the phoenix tree.
Xia Mian suddenly turned around and flung a talisman!
Something in the soil let out a series of sharp screams at once.
Xia Mian didn't give it a chance to escape, throwing out several more talismans in succession.
