Scarlett Jennings thought of the magic array they encountered when Banshan brought them over before.
No time to elaborate, the two of them had quickly run towards the village entrance.
The villagers of Artefact Village had clearly sensed something amiss too, but upon reaching the entrance, they saw a surge of black mist rapidly spreading.
The villagers initially didn’t know the origin of the black mist, but as it enveloped them, they found that the spiritual energy they had painstakingly replenished last night was being gradually sucked away.
The villagers instinctively wanted to flee from the black mist, only to discover that it seemed to ensnare them, preventing escape.
Realizing something was wrong, the villagers immediately yelled warnings to others,
"There’s something wrong with this mist, run quickly!"
With sharp voices, the villagers who had just approached saw what was happening and wanted to go in to rescue their companions, but were quickly pulled away by others.
"I told you that black mist is suspicious, don’t throw yourself into danger at times like this!"
"Right, go find the village chief!"
At this moment, the village chief also rushed to the entrance, and upon seeing the ever-spreading black mist, he immediately instructed the villagers to retreat to the ancient tree in the back hills.
He himself tried to rescue the villagers trapped in the black mist.
However, their spiritual objects inherently had little combat ability.
Otherwise, that person wouldn’t have specially set up a barrier to protect them in this village.
Seeing that not only did he fail to rescue the villagers, the village chief himself was also trapped in the black mist, the villagers were extremely anxious.
Just then, a tall figure suddenly flashed at the entrance, almost without hesitation, rushing into the black mist.
The villagers recognized it as their zombie, Greta!
They saw Greta’s figure engulfed by the black mist, yet the mist that was able to ensnare villagers and absorb their spiritual energy seemed to have no effect on Greta.
Or rather, it was originally useless against him.
After Greta entered the black mist, he quickly located the villagers, then with one hand each, he picked up the villagers and directly hurled them out.
One after another, villagers were continuously thrown out of the range of the black mist, and those receiving them quickly guided them away from the mist.
By the time Scarlett Jennings and her group arrived, they saw Greta already throwing people to safety.
"Ahhhh, be gentle, my body is porcelain!"
The arc of this thrown villager was noticeably smaller.
However, the black mist spread too quickly, and those who had just been flung out were again about to be enveloped by the mist.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t hesitate, raising her hand to cast three Gale Talismans.
"Rise, wind!"
With the gusts of wind sweeping through, the black mist was blown back by more than half, freeing several more villagers trapped in the mist.
Seeing the remaining black mist about to surge back again, before Scarlett Jennings could act, the turtle in her bag suddenly flew out.
This time, without even needing Scarlett Jennings’ command, the system directly charged forward with great momentum,
[Everyone step back! I’ll handle this!]
The system plunged into the remaining bit of black mist, and simultaneously, released black mist from its body.
First, it merged with the black mist, then it absorbed it all back into itself.
As the black mist completely dissipated, Scarlett Jennings vaguely heard a low curse, and Jasmine Hamilton, with her keen senses, almost immediately pinpointed the source of the voice.
"Over there!"
With a point of her finger, Scarlett Jennings sent a Thunder Talisman shooting towards that direction.
However, Greta was quicker than her talisman, appearing at Jasmine Hamilton’s designated spot with instantaneous teleportation.
Clenching his five fingers covered in filthy energy, he fiercely clawed towards behind a tree.
The next second, a dense glob of black mist flew out from behind the tree, barely dodging Greta and the Thunder shoot from Harvey Bolt’s attack, materializing into a human figure on the ground.
It was the one who had escaped earlier, Nian Si Gui.
His sinister face was now filled with anger, which was directed at Greta,
"Undying Bone! Have you forgotten who created you?!"
Back then, the organization failed to reclaim the Undying Bone, only to have a master contracted with it, which was maddening.
What’s worse is that now this Undying Bone is even turning against them!
Facing Nian Si Gui’s anger-filled gaze, Greta was expressionless,
