I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 296: Chapter 260 Let Me Do It!

The running speed of the two strange infants was truly remarkable. In less than two minutes, Infant One and Infant Two had already reached the area in front of where the ancient well had collapsed.

At this moment, the leading middle-aged man, Liang, and De, three exorcists, were nearing the middle of the collapsed ground.

De, who had just gone to relieve himself, had just caught up with the leading middle-aged man and Liang and was still fastening his belt as he walked.

The two strange infants glanced at each other, slowed down their pace, and crawled behind the three men.

Although they were no longer running, their crawling speed was still astonishing in the eyes of ordinary people.

Making rustling noises, all three men abruptly stopped and turned around to look.

Upon suddenly seeing the two strange infants, the men were stunned. Liang and De showed a solemn expression, immediately stepping aside, while the leading middle-aged man leaped forward with his magnetic knife, slashing at Infant One.

The magnetic glow surged about half a meter. Even though the leading middle-aged man had not fully approached the two strange infants, his strike could still harm Infant One.

However, the blow missed its target.

As soon as the exorcists spotted them, the two strange infants had already turned and ran, using their hands and feet to move at a rapid pace.

By the time the leading middle-aged man’s magnetic knife came down, Infant One had already shot two meters away.

Infant Two made a ‘gugu’ sound, running ahead of Infant One and occasionally looking back.

The three exorcists were taken aback. The leading middle-aged man, holding the magnetic knife, looked left and right at Liang and De, who also appeared surprised.

Liang glanced down at his Spirit Detector and noticed that in the vicinity, only two strange red dots, those of the infants, were visible; no others were detected.

And the behavior of these two strangenesses was very odd as if they were only intending to approach them and then immediately ran away without any intention of attacking.

Furthermore, the two strangenesses kept their heads bowed and did not look directly at them, giving an impression of fear yet a seeming compulsion to approach the three men.

Realizing the exorcists weren’t chasing after them, the two strange infants stopped immediately, turned around, but still kept their heads down and stood there, baring their teeth and grimacing as if to warn the men, or perhaps to intimidate the leading middle-aged man and the others.

“Big brother, with your experience and greater knowledge, what do these two strangenesses mean by this?” De couldn’t help but ask.

The leading middle-aged man, also frowning, shook his head, “It doesn’t seem like they consider us as attack targets, yet it also seems like they are warning us about something.”

“Could it be that this place is their territory, and seeing us about to enter, these two creatures came out to perform an intimidation to stop us?” Liang let his imagination run.

“Doesn’t seem like it,” the leading middle-aged man still shook his head, carrying the magnetic knife, he moved a couple of steps forward.

Seeing this, the two strange infants immediately turned around and crawled quickly for more than a dozen steps before stopping and turning their heads to look back.

“Are these guys playing with us?” De suddenly took out a High-Energy Collapsing Hidden Buckle and made a few steps forward.

This startled the two strange infants, who quickly scrambled forward in a panic. Only after they crawled a considerable distance did they stop and look back again, realizing that the three men were still standing in the same spot, motionless.

“Something’s not right,” De murmured, “It feels like they want us to follow them.”

The leading middle-aged man was also puzzled. He had already noticed that the power of the two strange infants was not strong; he alone could deal with them, not to mention that he had one-star exorcist Liang and De by his side.

If all three of them took action at the same time to pursue and kill, with the High-Energy Collapsing Hidden Buckle deployed for speed suppression, they believed it would take less than ten minutes to eliminate the strangenesses.

Therefore, the sudden suicidal behavior of the two strange appearances seemed quite abnormal.

Perhaps they really didn’t want the trio to go to the area of ground collapse.

Considering this, the leading middle-aged man whispered to Liang and De, “Stay where you are, don’t move. I’ll pretend to turn and walk towards the Old Pagoda Tree, and you two observe the reaction of the two strangenesses.”

Having said that, he turned and walked in the direction of the collapsing ground near the Old Pagoda Tree.

At that moment, the two strange infants became anxious, opening their mouths and letting out a few ‘ah ah’ cries, with one of them instinctively taking a step forward. However, it quickly sensed the danger and retreated immediately.

Although they retreated, the two strange infants visibly became more agitated.

The leading middle-aged man stopped, turned around, and Liang immediately nodded, “Boss, it’s confirmed, they indeed don’t want us to go there.”

“Let’s catch one first and see what’s going on.”

Soon after, the leading middle-aged man turned back around and started walking back, but took a circuitous route.

Meanwhile, De took out two Hidden Buckles, and Liang pulled out a Strangeness Interferer, each following their respective paths to approach the two strange infants.

Seeing the leading middle-aged man return, the strange infants stopped their shouting and used their hands and feet to move backwards, but they never turned around, as if they feared that if they did, someone from the trio might turn back again.

This method of moving inevitably affected their speed; they couldn’t move fast, and the distance between the three exorcists and the strange infants was gradually closing.

Once they were close enough to the strange infants, the three of them had already moved far from the collapsed area of the ground.

Suddenly, De threw a Chilling Hidden Buckle.

It was chilling to the bone, and as soon as it hit the ground beside the strange baby’s feet, a whiff of frost arose, freezing everything within two or three meters, even the air seemed to shake as if it were congealing.

The two strange babies stiffened unexpectedly, their movements becoming sluggish, while at the same moment, Liang rushed over with the Strangeness Interferer clutched in his hand.

Next second, the strange babies were enveloped in the disruptive range of the interferer, and the magnetic field became chaotic.

At this moment, the strange babies clearly panicked; they made gurgling noises, trying to turn around and flee, but their bodies were as though stuck in mud, making even turning difficult.

The leading middle-aged man no longer hid, and he charged forth in a few strides, his magnetic knife aimed at the strange baby closest to him, and he slashed towards its feet.

The strange baby was quick, something the man had already noticed, so as long as it was immobilized, it would be easy to capture.

Infant One, about to have its feet severed, was suddenly startled, completely unable to dodge, and it opened its mouth wide, its pupils drooping as it let out a hopeless shriek.

Clang!

A clear collision rang out, and the middle-aged man stepped back, lifting his knife for a look to find that Zhang Xiaomo had somehow positioned herself in front of Infant One, also holding a magnetic knife, completely separating him from the two strange babies.

“Xiaomo?!” The middle-aged man recognized her at a glance.

“Brother Tong, so it’s you who have come.” Zhang Xiaomo revealed a smile, but it was evident she was somewhat out of breath.

“What are you doing? Why are you saving this strangeness?” The middle-aged man called Brother Tong asked, looking puzzled.

“Heh… heh…” Heavy breathing came from behind, as if at any moment the person might run out of breath and pass out, “I… I… I let her… her… her save them, heh… heh…”

Looking up, it was Yan Junze holding his waist, walking with difficulty. The guy obviously couldn’t run anymore, even walking as if dragging his feet.

“Semi-spirit? You’re back.”

The middle-aged man, along with Liang and De, were taken aback, not understanding the situation with Yan Junze and Zhang Xiaomo.

“These two strangenesses were summoned by Yan Junze to save you guys,” Zhang Xiaomo said, taking over the explanation as Yan Junze was panting heavily.

“Right, over there…” Yan Junze nodded, pointing in the direction of the Old Pagoda Tree.

“There’s an ancient corpse over there, at least eight hundred years old. If you had approached earlier, you would have died,” said Zhang Xiaomo, continuing the explanation.

“Ah!”

The middle-aged man, together with Liang and De, exchanged glances, all surprised.

They then looked towards the Old Pagoda Tree with frightened eyes, but the distance was a bit far, so whether there was a corpse lying on the ground, they couldn’t see at all.

“Tong… Tong… Tong…”

Before Yan Junze could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaomo said to him, “His name is Tong De, you came together, Brother Tong De didn’t even know your name!”

The middle-aged man Tong De came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze, and somewhat embarrassingly explained, “I got used to calling him Semi-spirit; I still remembered his name just a moment ago, but now I’ve forgotten it after turning around.”

Yan Junze simply panted, saying nothing more, and casually put away the two strange babies.

Tong De and the other two Exorcists, seeing this, tightened their gazes with surprise but didn’t ask anything.

After a while, Yan Junze managed to catch his breath, patted his chest, and said, “I have some methods. Through the Semi-Spirit Body and spirits I’m raising, I can detect dangerous places. So, I ordered them to rush over and warn the Exorcists nearby not to get close to that area.”

“What do we do now?” De asked.

“With the ancient corpse ahead, finding Old Guo’s complete body seems unlikely.” Of course, Yan Junze wouldn’t tell them that Guo Youliang’s body had been destroyed; he merely speculated aloud, “The magnetic field around that ancient well is also very strange. It seems that you can only proceed with me present. Of course, you’d better wait for me under the eaves here.”

“Do you need me to go with you?” Zhang Xiaomo asked.

Yan Junze didn’t respond but suddenly remembered something and asked Tong De, “The surviving Exorcists from the west side of the village should all have come back by now, haven’t they run into you?”

Tong De nodded, “We saw Jiang Yaofei and others; we’ve already sent someone to escort them out of Mo Family Village. We have people outside the village to meet them; the ambulances should have arrived by now.”

“It’s good that they were rescued.” Zhang Xiaomo nodded, then looked at Yan Junze again, asking, “Should I go with you?”

Having been through so much with Yan Junze, she was well aware of his unique exorcism methods. So if Yan Junze decided to go alone, she wouldn’t volunteer to follow.

Every time, no matter how dangerous the situation, Yan Junze seemed to have a perfect grip on things, and Zhang Xiaomo completely trusted him in this regard.

Yan Junze looked at Zhang Xiaomo, then at Tong De, and then brought out the “Corpse Qi Spread” mission from his mind to check it carefully once again.

Once more looking at Zhang Xiaomo and Tong De, he said, “I need to adjust the plan. Both of you need to come with me.”

At the same time, Yan Long, who lay on the ground and was beginning to feel a slight numbness in his body, raised his neck a little and twisted it from side to side, thinking to himself, “What’s going on with those people? I saw them just now; why haven’t they come over already?!”
