After the nun screamed in pain, her brows furrowed and she immediately began to chant. A golden light began to shine around her. The gray and white Taoist robe she was wearing swelled up without wind, and began to prop up the vines wrapped around her body.
However, the moment those black vines sensed her resistance, their surfaces suddenly flashed with light as if an electric current had passed through them, and more black vines rushed towards her from all around, wrapping her up completely.
At the same time, the two black puppets also rushed over from the vines.
Those vines seemed to attack by sensing the breath of living things and did not stop the two puppets at all.
After rushing to the side of the nun, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a weapon, they pushed along the gaps in the vines, and suddenly exerted force with both hands to stab towards the nun inside.
The golden light outside the nun's body had not yet broken through the vines' restraints before it was attacked by the puppet. With a light "bang", it shattered into countless golden spots and dissipated.
When the weapons of the two puppets were about to pierce through the nun's body, two rays of light, one golden and one red, shot out at the same time, revealing the true forms of the Dragon Horn Cone and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.
The two puppets realized something was wrong and tried to draw back their weapons, but it was too late.
Two muffled sounds of "bang" were heard, and two big holes appeared on the chests of the two puppets at the same time. After the Dragon Horn Cone and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo passed through their chests, they did not stop at all and immediately fell towards the vines on the ground.
Rays of light bloomed on the ground one after another, and large vines were cut off by the light. They had no choice but to tremble and retreat in one direction. Even the vines wrapped around the nun were no exception.
When all the vines had dispersed, the figure of the nun reappeared. On her Taoist robe, there were densely packed black symbols, and a strange fluctuation came from them.
When Shen Luo saw this, he knew that his actions were unnecessary. Even if he had just abandoned her, the female nun would have been able to break free on her own.
When the nun saw Shen Luo, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. The two looked at each other awkwardly for a moment, and it was Shen Luo who raised his hand and clasped his fists first, then turned and left.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, wait a minute." At this time, the voice of the nun suddenly came from behind.
Shen Luo turned his head and looked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I am Huang Ting from Taiying Temple. Thank you, Brother Shen, for your help." The nun bowed and said.
"There's no need to do that. Even if I don't help, you can still escape." After Shen Luo said this, he waved his hand and continued on his way.
Huang Ting heard this and without saying anything else, he also rushed in the direction he was heading.
The two of them tacitly formed a partnership and headed deep into the forest.
…
Time flies and three days have passed.
At night, Shen Luo found an open area in the forest and lit a bonfire. Huang Ting sat across from him by the fire.
Although the two traveled together for several days, they spent most of their time on the road and rarely talked.
Only when they were blocked by monsters would they occasionally support each other. Although they couldn't say they had much tacit understanding with each other, their joint speed of advancement was greatly improved.
At this moment, Shen Luo was sitting cross-legged in meditation, silently nurturing the Pure Yang Sword Embryo in his body.
