"Master, they only told us to abduct this woman. They didn't say we couldn't maim her! Let's chop off her feet. Then we can take her away!"
Damn it! What a lousy idea! When Wan Ruo heard this, her face paled. They were planning to amputate her!
"Well, you're right!" The masked man in front of her agreed.
Wan Ruo was shocked. Just like that? Wasn't that a bit too hasty?
Just as the masked man in front of her raised his big knife and was about to chop at her thigh...
Wan Ruo quickly whispered a spell: "The stars above the Supreme Throne respond without cease. They drive away evil and bind demons, protecting life and body. May the three souls last forever and the seven spirits never be lost. Obey my command, quickly as the law of the gods."
As her fingers pointed at the masked man, a magic talisman instantly dissipated into his body out of thin air.
His big knife was only a fraction of an inch away from Wan Ruo's thigh when it stopped in mid - air. The man stood completely still.
Wan Ruo, seeing this dangerous scene, quickly pulled back her feet and patted her chest. Her heart was pounding! She was so scared. Fortunately, she had saved her legs!
The other two masked men noticed that their leader was standing there motionless and something seemed wrong.
They stepped forward and nudged the frozen masked man. One of them asked, "Boss, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Seeing this, Wan Ruo's lips curled into a slight smile. The show was about to start.
With a wave of her two fingers, the frozen masked man turned around and slapped the other masked man across the face.
The force was so great that in an instant, the masked man felt as if his brain was about to be slapped out. His teeth were knocked out.
"Thud!" He was slapped to the ground, his eyes spinning, and he fainted.
Seeing this, the other masked man was instantly flustered.
What was going on? He had just touched him. Why did the boss slap him so hard?
He staggered back a few steps and said nervously, "Boss, are you okay? What... what are you doing?"
At this moment, Wan Ruo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The masked man glared at Wan Ruo, pointed at her with his knife and threatened, "What are you laughing at? Shut up!"
Wan Ruo immediately covered her mouth, but still couldn't hold back another laugh. Between laughs, she said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it! Hahaha..."
"You! I'll kill you right now!" The masked man said angrily as he rushed towards her with his knife.
Wan Ruo felt something was wrong. Why was he so angry?
Before he could get close, Wan Ruo waved her hand casually. The masked leader swung his knife down. The big knife fell right in front of the masked man's eyes.
He stared in horror, feeling the knife almost touch his nose. If he had taken one more step, his head would probably have been chopped off.
He was so scared that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. He felt a warm current flowing out from between his legs.
Oh my god! Did he pee his pants out of fear? Wan Ruo was stunned.
Suddenly, the big knife stabbed into the ground between his legs, only a fraction of an inch away from his private parts.
He passed out instantly, his vision going black.
He was so easily scared! Then she waved her two fingers again. The masked leader pulled out the big knife from the ground and hacked at the iron chain.
Once, twice. "Snap!" Sure enough, with the power of magic, it was different!
Then Wan Ruo stood up, walked in front of the masked leader, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Then she gave a heavy blow to the back of his neck, and the masked leader also fell to the ground.
Wan Ruo stepped around the masked men lying on the ground and opened the door.
My goodness! Where was this?
As soon as she stepped out, there was an empty field in front of her, stretching as far as the eye could see.
It was really in the middle of nowhere! Which way should she go? Wan Ruo was a bit confused.
Forget it. If she didn't run now, it would be too late.
Wan Ruo started running in one direction.
She didn't know how long she had been running, but she still hadn't seen any village houses. Oh my god! Was she at the end of the world?
She was so tired that she gasped for breath. She lowered her head to rest for a while. When she looked up, there seemed to be a figure in front of her. The night was a bit dark and the moonlight was gentle. If she wasn't mistaken, it was really a person.
Finally, she let out a sigh of relief. Running around in this desolate wilderness in the middle of the night was really scary!
"Hey! Over here!" Wan Ruo shouted loudly at the figure.
Suddenly, she felt something was wrong! There were no houses in this desolate place. How could a person suddenly appear? Could it be a demon or a ghost?
Thinking of this, Wan Ruo felt a bit panicked. As the figure got closer, she became more and more scared!
Her heart started to race. She was a bit nervous. There was no place to hide!
She quickly turned around and ran back, occasionally looking back. When she did, she was shocked.
She didn't know when, but that thing was so fast! It was almost in front of her.
At this moment, she stepped into thin air and fell into a deep pit!
Damn it! How could there be such a deep pit in such an empty place? She was about to stand up when she felt a sharp pain in her foot. It seemed that she had sprained her ankle!
Just then, a shadow seemed to flash across the top of the pit.
Wan Ruo carefully pressed herself against the pit wall. She covered her mouth with one hand and her foot with the other, not daring to make a sound!
Under the moonlight, she clearly saw that it was a human shadow, but she always heard a "hissing" sound.
What was that sound?
She looked closely and found that she had fallen into a snake's nest. Why were there so many snakes in this pit?
"Ah..." She couldn't help but scream in terror.
Suddenly, something came down from the top of the pit and coiled around Wan Ruo's body, lifting her up.
Wan Ruo was a bit shocked. This feeling seemed like... a snake?
Sure enough, the moment she landed, in front of her appeared a figure with a human upper body wearing a black cloak and a snake's tail for the lower body!
She could tell that the upper body was human only because she saw his two arms. They were clearly human arms and hands!
What on earth was this monster? Wan Ruo was so scared that cold sweat broke out on her back!
Just as the monster was about to approach Wan Ruo, she shouted threateningly, "Don't come any closer, or I won't be polite!"
From under the dark brim of the hat, a strange smile appeared.
"Oh? I'd really like to see how you're going to be 'not polite'."
This voice? It was so familiar! Who... who was he? Wan Ruo frowned slightly and stared closely at his every move.
