Captain Mao stood outside the study anxiously and shouted a few times but heard no movement coming from the study.

Considering the urgency of the situation, he gritted his teeth, turned the doorknob and opened the study door.

“Master Lu, please forgive me, it’s really…”

Captain Mao had just said half of his words when he swallowed the rest.

After all, the study is so small, not to mention the three yellow talismans that are shining brightly with golden light and are twisting and turning.

The terrifying scarecrow nearly four meters tall near the window alone was enough to fill the entire field of vision.

The anxious expression on Captain Mao’s face had not yet faded, and then uncontrollable fear emerged.

The complex emotions displayed on his face brought a powerful appeal that could never be expressed through acting.

“Captain Mao, you came at a bad time. As you can see, I still have things to deal with.”

Lu Bai glanced sideways at Captain Mao, then turned his attention back to the scary scarecrow, but his tone of voice was quite casual.

Perhaps comforted by Lu Bai’s calm attitude, Captain Mao managed to calm down.

He took off the pistol from his waist and held it in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, “Master Lu, what do you need me to do?”

“Just take care of yourself.”

Lu Bai waved his hand without even turning his head, and then took the initiative to step towards the scary scarecrow: “Just a little episode, okay, let’s continue.”

He raised his hand, pulled out a yellow talisman and held it between his fingertips. The other end of the talisman began to burn out of thin air.

“I refuse to join. What are you going to do? Kill me?”

The scary scarecrow, who had already raised his branch arms, heard Lu Bai’s words, and his deformed humanoid face made a sharp sound similar to the rubbing of viper’s scales.

Without any further delay, the two-meter-long branch arm swung straight down towards Lu Bai.

It is worth mentioning that the surface looks rotten and dry, but as the branches and arms wave, it causes a sound like metal breaking through the air.

And if you look carefully, you can find that in the area where the branch arm passed, there are spots of shadows left, as if oil was poured on a piece of transparent glass.

“careful!”

Captain Mao subconsciously exclaimed when he saw this.

However, there was no need for Captain Mao to issue a warning. Facing the unfamiliar and strange situation, Lu Bai was always on guard.

What’s more, it’s obvious that there is something wrong with these spots of shadows.

Without any hesitation, Lu Bai threw down the yellow talisman between his fingers and activated [Flash Time] and [Explosion] at the same time. When everything was still, relying on the temporary physical fitness bonus provided by [Explosion], he quickly escaped from the attack range of the scary scarecrow and retreated towards the door.

During this period, he even had enough energy to help Captain Mao at the door.

0 seconds of [Flash Time] passed, and as time resumed flowing, Lu Bai had already retreated to the center of the yard with Captain Mao.

Frankly speaking, even if it is weird in itself, I still think this scene looks quite weird.

Even though the scary scarecrow’s face was covered by a hood and its expression couldn’t be seen, it was obvious from its frozen movements that it was frightened.

After a moment of silence, Scarecrow’s unique and strange voice came from the room: “No wonder those guys wanted to recruit you.”

Before Lu Bai could reply, a slightly rough voice sounded from the eaves, expressing agreement.

“It’s obvious that he is not human at all.” Lu Bai looked in the direction of the voice and the person who spoke was obviously also a weird creature.

The other party had a crow-like pointed beak and a pair of jet-black wings, but other than that he had a very ordinary humanoid appearance, wearing tattered Yamabushi clothes and a katana on his waist.

It didn’t flap its wings, but just hovered steadily above the house, looking at Lu Bai with a very interested look.

Sequence 59——Karasu Tengu.

“Master Lu…”

Captain Mao’s voice was full of trance, almost like a delirium.

Faced with these strange things that happened one after another, his panicked heart finally died completely.

The extraordinary actions of the weird things make it seem that there is no future for humans in this world.

Lu Bai released the hand that was holding Captain Mao’s arm, looked at the black tengu and asked, “I’m a little curious, how many of you have come?”

After leaving the room and coming to the yard, he could more or less feel how chaotic the shelter was now.

All kinds of screams and exclamations came from all directions. In just a few words, two violent explosions occurred and flames shot into the sky.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know.”

In mid-air, Karasu Tengu spread his hands, as if he was somewhat helpless: “In the original distribution plan, these people should have become the fodder of hatred, but I didn’t expect you to be a variable.”

The original distribution plan?
Lu Bai was not dissatisfied with the strange attitude of treating the people in the entire city as consumables.

He just nodded belatedly: “So the plague doctor who appeared later is actually your remedy?”

During the strange conversation between the two, Twisting and the Scary Scarecrow had already crawled out of the room.

The Scarecrow interjected sinisterly, “If you hadn’t killed that crow mouth, we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy such a feast.”

Karasu Tengu glanced at the scary scarecrow, then slowly drew out the katana from his waist.

“You can think of this as our second act of redress.”

Before he finished speaking, the wings behind him flapped, and his whole body seemed to turn into a black lightning, shooting towards Lu Bai.

Although Lu Bai wanted to say that Karasu Tengu had no martial ethics, the exaggerated attack speed forced him to use [Dodge] to ensure that he could avoid the attack.

But after taking a breath, 0.5 seconds passed in a flash, and another knife light came across.

Obviously, Karasu Tengu noticed Lu Bai’s unusual way of dodging, and it had no intention of giving Lu Bai any chance to breathe.

Lu Bai had to admit that he couldn’t use [Flash Time] continuously, and its only weakness was opponents with such a fast attack speed.

Fortunately, he now has more than just the ability of [Flash Time].

Before the blade arrived, his figure suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, clanging sounds rang around Karasu Tengu.

[Alpha Assault (Gold): Consumes a certain amount of physical strength, and the user will shuttle through the battlefield at a speed that is difficult for the naked eye to detect, launching a total of four attacks. During the duration, the user cannot be selected, and the cooldown time is 30 seconds.]

To be on the safe side, Karasu Tengu flapped his wings and retreated a distance.

Lu Bai reappeared at the same place. He did not pause, nor did he look at Wu Tiangou again. Instead, he quickly took out a yellow talisman and chanted a spell. (End of this chapter)
