The old man from the village was there, too. He stood near the edge of the clearing, chanting loudly,他的声音 resonating with an ancient power, different from the Lin Xiao’s screeches. He raised他的 arms, and the plant and trees around the clearing seemed to stir, their branches reaching out like defensive limbs.
