When a strange red light appeared in the eyes of the statue and when Jiang Lai was locked by the strange red light, the surrounding environment changed again!

Suddenly, gusts of wind blew up inside the ancestral hall!

Jiang Lai frowned, blocked the gust of wind with his hands, protected his head, and mobilized all his senses to defend against everything around him.

When Jiang Lai came to her senses, she discovered that she... had been teleported outside the ancestral hall by that mysterious force!

At this moment, she was standing on a street in the village. On both sides of the street were small houses built of stones.

What was strange was that when she entered the ancestral hall before, it was clearly daytime outside, and there were strong winds, lightning and thunder, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to come.

However, as she stood on the street, she found herself in a clear dark night, and she could even see the stars if she looked up.

She lowered her head and thought about it, and felt that perhaps the statue had some special ability that could cause the time and space in the village to become disordered.

As she was thinking this, she looked around vigilantly, when she suddenly heard a series of tapping sounds coming from not far ahead.

The sound was exactly the same as the one she heard coming from outside the yard when she was on guard last night.

"Da da da……"

Accompanied by the strange sound of footsteps on the bluestone slabs, Jiang Lai turned around and stared at the street behind him.

Soon, she saw a large cloud of strange red mist floating over from that direction!

The fog obscured her already less-than-ideal eyesight, making it difficult for her to see clearly.

She could only barely see that there was something in the strange blood-red mist, approaching her step by step.

The creature's feet landed on the bluestone slabs, making a tapping sound.

As the thing got closer, Jiang Lai, with the help of Xiao Ai, was able to barely identify it. The thing... was exactly the same as the statue enshrined on the altar in the ancestral hall, with a body that was half a cow and the other half a human!

The body was full of a strange sense of incongruity. The monster was made up of creatures of two different species. It had red eyes and walked out of the bloody ghost fog step by step, heading towards Jiang Lai!

As he got closer, Jiang Lai was able to make out more information.

The thing was so thin that it could almost be described as skin and bones.

The leather bag on its body looks like a cow on the left and a human woman on the right.

The thing stared at Jiang Lai with its pair of fiery red eyes, and there was a hint of hostility in its gaze.

Jiang Lai sensed the danger and took out her long sword with dual attributes of ice and thunder without hesitation.

"Da da da!"

The monster spread its legs and rushed towards Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai's eyes focused and he began to dance with the sword in his hand. The icy sword energy and lightning intertwined in the air, forming a brilliant flash of lightning.

The long sword was swung out and slashed straight at the bull's body. The cold air and electric light made a "hissing" sound in the air.

The monster immediately turned slightly and used the left side of its body, which was the side of the cow, to block the attack.

The skin on the side of the monster's bull body was immediately cut into tiny cracks by Jiang Lai's sword energy.

Jiang Lai gritted his teeth and used the Three Thousand Phantom Butterflies Kill Technique.

Her sword moves are light and graceful, yet very sharp.

The coldness of the sword became even stronger, and the lightning became brighter, as if even the air was condensed.

The monster seemed to be calm and unhurried. Its bull body seemed to have life and it avoided the ice and lightning sword energy. At the same time, its female body also began to attack Jiang Lai.

Her dry and thin face emitted a strange glow against the backdrop of the thick blood mist. She suddenly exerted force with her left leg and stepped towards Jiang Lai!

The cow hoof on her left leg seemed to contain infinite power, as if it could crush any creature that tried to approach her.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Lai's eyes. She didn't expect that this monster could launch such an attack.

She took a deep breath, turned the sword, pointed the tip of the sword towards the sky, and instantly formed an icy protective shield that blocked all the monsters' attacks.

The battle intensified. Jiang Lai's ice thunder sword seemed illusory and real, and could even make the surrounding air condense into frost-like ice crystals.

This was enough to show that her control over the Three Thousand Illusion Butterflies had reached a new level.

The monster used its strange body to turn around and constantly change its attack methods, trying to attack Jiang Lai.

But in the end, she was defeated by the long sword in Jiang Lai's hand.

The edge of the long sword made a clanging sound in the air.

The power of ice and thunder collided with the monster's body, causing a violent explosion.

Dust suddenly rose up around, and everything seemed to be swallowed up by that power.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Jiang Lai's clenched hands were still covered with the solidified coldness after the battle, and the strange monster, and even the large group of strange blood mist, had disappeared without a trace in the battle.

In a trance, Jiang Lai had returned to the ancestral hall he had been to before.

Lu Zhou and others also appeared beside her.

They all maintained their original positions, standing there with stiff expressions.

This means that they are currently very likely facing the same situation as Jiang Lai.

The body stood here, but the soul was on that small street, fighting the monsters.

Jiang Lai believed in her teammates, not to mention that Lu Zhou and the others were already quite strong.

They should be able to get out of this predicament soon and return to the ancestral hall.

Only the NPC Niu Lingling disappeared. No one knew whether she ran away while they entered the trial, or for some other reason.

Jiang Lai thought about it and decided to let Yan Yurong and the other seven young ladies split into two groups to search for Niu Lingling's whereabouts in the village. He asked Jixiang and Donggua to look after Lu Zhou and the others, while he himself walked around the ancestral hall and observed carefully.

It was also at this time that the older children in the village had sent the younger children back home one by one before the heavy rain came.

Jinfeng, the youngest, was naturally the first to return home.

However, there are exceptions.

For some reason, Ailian was not very popular among the other children in the village.

Because she answered the question correctly today that no one else could answer, she also received praise from the good-looking teacher Qian, and successfully surpassed the other children, and ate delicious food that she couldn't usually eat, which made the other children quite unhappy.

Along the way, she also received more contempt and ridicule than usual.

Ailian is always the isolated one, and now she can only leave her friends and go home alone.
