"I won't abandon these people, but it's not your place to argue with me."
Jiang Ming took a step forward and stepped on the half of the monster's body, crushing it.
The monster stared as the back half of its body disappeared into thin air.
Before it disappeared, the lower half of the monster's body was still jumping around, but in the end, it was gone.
"Ah!"
The monster roared angrily, but it was useless.
Just like that, it was left with only half of his body. It could not help but shed some tears.
"Human, what do you want?" It asked Jiang Ming while trembling.
"You've already seen that I've lost half of my body. I'm afraid I can lose the other half."
Jiang Ming sized up the monster's body with a hint of interest in his eyes.
The monster seemed to have predicted what Jiang Ming wanted to do. It immediately trembled even more and shouted at Jiang Ming, "If you kill me now, the consequences will be extremely serious. There is poison in my main body. Don't you want to save these people? Or do you want to throw your life in and die with them?"
The monster weighed the pros and cons in its heart.
If Jiang Ming was fooled by it this time, it could escape smoothly and report the situation to the lord in the deep sea.
If that was not possible, it would send a signal to the deep sea and ask the lord to save it first.
Jiang Ming's tone was calm and a little hoarse.
"I have to cut your body open to know if there's any poison. Who knows if what you said is true?"
Jiang Ming shrugged slightly. He seemed nonchalant. It was as if he were talking about the weather.
The monster was shocked and secretly threw a round object into the deep sea.
Jiang Ming noticed it and said, "It seems like you sent a signal to some people in the deep sea. But it doesn't matter. You're indeed going to die. It's good to inform them that they'll need to collect your corpse."
He clenched his fists and smashed the monster's main body into pieces.
The monster did not even have time to howl before it collapsed to the ground and disappeared from its spot.
Seeing that the monster had been dealt with, he went to Xia Chenjing's side.
He first checked Xia Chenjing, Liang Sisi, and Ling Yunxiao's bodies.
He felt that two of them had fainted from the shock, and the other had been confused by the force. He started to treat them.
Jiang Ming let the three of them lie flat on the ground and then bandaged Xia Chenjing's ear.
Ling Yunxiao's ear still had some debris. He carefully took out the debris and bandaged his ear as well.
As for Liang Sisi, Jiang Ming opened up her internal organs and made sure to heal them.
Liang Sisi was in better condition than Xia Chenjing and Ling Yunxiao, and she had already woken up.
After seeing the scene in front of her, Liang Sisi widened her eyes and stammered, "What's going on?"
She took a step back and looked at Xia Chenjing and Ling Yunxiao in disbelief, her eyes wide.
"They're unconscious, but it's not a big problem."
Jiang Ming carefully examined Xia Chenjing and Ling Yunxiao's bodies again, checking their minor internal injuries.
Xia Chenjing slowly woke up at this time. When he saw Liang Sisi and Jiang Ming looking at him carefully, he patted his face and felt that his head was rather scrambled.
"I feel like I've lost a part of my memory."
Jiang Ming paused and looked at Xia Chenjing's head. He said thoughtfully, "There is indeed a lump inside."
Xia Chenjing was shocked. Then he patted his head and said, "Ning Caichen, are you serious? Is there really a lump inside?"
As he spoke, he was still a little confused.
Sikong Wuyuan rubbed his head and looked at his body. "I saw that you were all lying on the ground, but I was safe and sound. How strange. I thought that I would be affected by that sound. However, I couldn't move or speak."
Jiang Ming smiled.
"If you were affected by the sound, then your stay in the temple would have been in vain. As for you being unable to move, that monster probably didn't want you to get close."
"Why do you say that? What does this have to do with the temple?"
Sikong Wuyuan did not understand.
Jiang Ming took out the prayer beads that he had taken from the monster, but the prayer beads had been surrounded by a barrier.
However, the barrier was transparent, so it was still obvious that these were prayer beads.
"The prayer beads are in some sort of barrier. This means that the monster is most likely afraid of something similar to the prayer beads. Things that are similar to prayer beads should also scare the monster."
Sikong Wuyuan immediately understood. Then, he said, "That's good."
At this moment, the waves suddenly rushed up. They also hit Ling Yunxiao.
Ling Yunxiao woke up immediately after being hit by the waves, but his eyes were still unclear.
Like Xia Chenjing, his mind was a little scrambled, and he kept mumbling.
"I just had a dream about eating cake. I was eating cake, and now it's gone."
Jiang Ming immediately hit Ling Yunxiao on the head, and he sobered up. Then, he said helplessly, "That monster was really strange, and its voice was also strange. Fortunately, it's no longer here."
However, just as he said this, a bird appeared.
The bird was about the size of a monster, and it let out a low cry.
The bird also rushed straight at Jiang Ming. It was clearly trying to take him away.
Jiang Ming saw it and immediately rushed over. His entire body turned into a ray of light.
When the bird saw this, it immediately opened its mouth and rushed toward Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was directly swallowed by it. Seeing such a thing, everyone was stunned.
After a while, Sikong Wuyuan pointed at the bird and said with a trembling voice, "Was Ning Caichen swallowed by this bird just now?"
"Yes." Liang Sisi reacted and immediately exhaled. She went forward to save Jiang Ming, but her jade pendant was useless.
She wanted to take to the air, but she was taken away by the bird.
The bird was holding Liang Sisi's collar in its mouth and screaming in glee.
"Oh no, we have to stop this bird."
Sikong Wuyuan rushed to the ground and gathered some water. Then, he controlled the water to rush straight at the bird.
The bird easily dodged.
Seeing this, Sikong Wuyuan simply soared into the sky and struck at the bird. However, the bird still dodged it.
Not only that, Sikong Wuyuan was directly pecked by the bird.
