Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Wu Chang asked Liu Shan uncertainly:
"Village Chief, is this also part of the Year-banishing Ritual?"
Liu Shan stared blankly ahead, his lips trembling, and shouted to the villagers:
"Quickly scatter! The Evil Qi is out of control!"
Wu Chang: "Uh..."
It seems the transformation of the Year-banishers wasn't part of the ritual's program.
The reaction of Huai Valley Village villagers was swift, as if they had undergone related training. Seeing the ghost emissary being killed, the onlooking villagers immediately scattered.
Blocking in front of the crowd, the villagers responsible for defending against demon attacks quickly gathered with special vine shields and raised wooden spears.
The villagers responsible for guarding duty were mostly hunters from the village, skilled and familiar with the characteristics of beasts.
Grouped in fives and sixes, using special calls and potions, they quickly separated the three clustered Year-banishers.
