It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

In just a short while, Jiang Ting's back was covered with snakes, which were trying to remove the cross that was stuck to her back.

But for some reason, the cross seemed to be permanently attached to her back, and no matter how she wrapped it around or arched it, it wouldn't budge.

In the darkness, the red light inside the room was very conspicuous. Zhao Xu stood in the darkness and looked inside through the window.

"Vikram, was that cross welded to Jiang Ting's body?"

Vikram was covered in sweat and clearly struggling, but he still replied, "If I'm not mistaken, that cross is connected to the wood power."

Zhao Xu was shocked. Didn't this mean that removing the cross would also pull out Jiang Ting's abilities, or break her wood abilities?

So what remains is still the wood element?

"puff!"

Suddenly, Vikram coughed up blood without warning, and Zhao Xu quickly helped him up.

"What happened?"

Vikram shoved Zhao Xu aside and began chanting rapidly. The snakes in the room swarmed out of the broken window as if fleeing for their lives.

Zhao Xu walked closer and looked through the broken window. The sight made his blood freeze.

What exactly is that dark, misty, and smoky thing?

The snakes that couldn't escape were swallowed up by the black mass.

"Hurry up!"

A loud bang rang in Zhao Xu's ears. By the time he realized what was happening, his feet were already entangled in the mass.

He struggled desperately, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

Soon, the black mass enveloped him completely, and Zhao Xu felt his five senses disappearing, which terrified him.

After shouting that, Vikram ran off at top speed.

Pinned to the spot, Black Hawk saw Zhao Xu's condition by the faint moonlight. He struggled desperately, his eyes bloodshot, his lungs injured, and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

But it still didn't work.

In his despair, he saw a golden light rush towards Zhao Xu, who was shrouded in darkness.

The golden light touched the black mass and immediately scattered like fireworks.

Black Hawk clearly saw the black mass disappear and could also see Zhao Xu's figure slowly falling down.

But before it could completely fall, it was snatched away by some animal.

"Emma, ​​why are you meddling in other people's business!"

Pastor James’s voice, usually so gentle, suddenly became somber.

In the courtyard, a person holding an unopened umbrella slowly walked to the French windows.

"You evil spirit, do you think I wanted to meddle? It's only because of your appearance that I had no choice but to take action."

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

Emma was furious, but then her tone changed to serious and earnest, "Light and darkness have always been opposites."

After saying this, Emma raised the umbrella in her hand and pointed the tip at Pastor James in the darkness.

"You evil creature, it's time for you to disappear."

"Hahaha……"

Dark Priest James burst into maniacal laughter, "Emma, ​​you're too arrogant. He never intended to harm you, and I was also planning to let you go, but you insisted on running into me, so don't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark mass rushed out.

Emma's umbrella also released golden light and clashed with the opponent.

Although Vikram escaped, he didn't go far. He saw the three-tailed fox carry away Wenli, and he also saw Emma confront the evil creature head-on.

Feeling this was a good opportunity, he took out the small black snake, which had recently been detoxified, directly from the bamboo basket.

He stroked the drooping snake head. "Little Black, I know you're still very weak. I hope you can hold on a little longer, break down that door, and then drag the Wood Ability User out."

Unable to remove the cross, Vikram wondered if he could move the person away and see if the cross would escape Pastor James's control once they were far enough away. He decided to try and remove it.

Little Black was reluctant to hear about the Wood-Carrying Ability User; that person was so annoying, he almost killed it.

"Xiao Hei, if we complete the mission, we may be able to go to that ancient land of China."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei's pupils narrowed and enlarged instantly, then it hurtled towards the main entrance of the Min family's main hall.

In my memory, it was born in a mountain in China.

I miss it so much!

After Little Black left, Little Red Snake took its head out of the bamboo basket and crawled up Vikram's arm to his head, where it coiled around him.

Vikram reached out and stroked the little red snake. "You also yearn to go back to China?"

"Hiss!"

Vikram laughed, "I also long for that land where spirits and monsters can emerge."

That's right, both Little Black and Little Red were bought by Vikram from a merchant sixty years ago.

The vendor said that he had casually caught the two snakes from the ancient country of China.

Vikram believed the merchant's words because he had never seen either of these snakes in his own country.

When he said he had never seen them before, he wasn't referring to their appearance or colors, but rather that he could sense their distinct emotions.

Vikram, who has been learning snake control since childhood, was experiencing this feeling for the first time, feeling both surprised and curious.

He took the two snakes home and treated them kindly, not as snake slaves, but as friends.

Vikram was only eight years old at the time, a very innocent and lively age, and he won the approval of the two snakes with his sincerity.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Hei also regarded him as their best friend.

Since then, the one person and the two snakes have relied on each other for survival and have never been separated.

Vikram's money-grubbing approach to things was also to support these two principles.

Both Little Black and Little Red have a huge appetite.

Especially Little Black; one of its meals could bankrupt a moderately well-off family.

"Clang!"

The door was kicked open, and Xiao Hei bit Jiang Ting into his mouth and ran away.

When Pastor Zhan finally had a moment to look back, Xiao Hei had already disappeared.

Pastor James was furious and transformed into black smoke to give chase, but was stopped by several arrows of light from Emma.

Seeing Pastor James's urgency, Vikram instinctively felt that taking the person and the cross together would be helpful.

Little Black didn't go looking for Vikram; he only remembered running far away, and he just kept running and running.

"Xiao Hong, let's chase after them."

The little red snake stretched out its tail and coiled around his neck, and the man and the snake disappeared from the spot.

After Xiao Hei left with Jiang Ting, Black Hawk felt that he could move again, but he couldn't adjust for a moment and lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Before he could stand up, a figure ran past him. Looking up, he saw it was Master Zhidu.

Next, he saw Master Zhidu throw something at Pastor Zhan.

Then, Pastor James let out a piercing scream.

Black Hawk picked up his gun from the ground, got up, ran into the courtyard, found a corner to hide in, and waited for an opportunity to fire a shot.

The shot hit, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

"Benefactor Wu, go find Benefactor Wen and Benefactor Han, and go with them to the location at the foot of the mountain to wait for the formation to break."

Master Zhidu said.

"Take care, Master!" Black Hawk didn't hesitate for a second and turned to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help, nor that he was afraid of dying, but that there was nothing he could do if he stayed.
