Chapter 1376 The Terrifying Little Straw Girl (1/2)

Darren and the young man traveled together. They stopped for a rest every now and then. They eventually came across a human along the way, but he appeared to have just died.

”The straw men must have killed him,” said the young man, squatting down to look over the body.

”Yes, it would seem so,” Darren responded.

Darren raised his head and scanned the area for footprints left by the straw men. He soon located some, trailing off into the distance.

”Let's follow the footprints and see what this is all about.”

They tracked the marks on the ground for as long as they went.

A long walk later, they stopped, stunned by what they discovered.

There were many straw men of all kinds of different shapes and sizes, standing on the ground in front of them. They were all rough, tattered and damaged; some without arms and legs, some without heads and some with their buttocks turned the wrong way around.

Darren didn't want to provoke these many straw men either. Falling back did seem to be their best option at the moment.

However, just as he was about to leave, he noticed something else that caught his attention.

Several straw men had tied a group of humans together with straw ropes and had dragged them over nearby.

Darren sensed that the humans were all still alive.

”You'd better let go of me now, or I'll be forced to burn you all to ashes!

Are you pretending to be deaf? That's it, you've sentenced your whole family to die...”

Darren was shocked. There was no mistaking that voice; it was none other than Weber!

Weber had been captured.

In fact, it seemed that he was not the only one. Darren also detected the auras of Eallard, Finley and Sally.

Although he burned with rage, he felt grateful as well. At least they had only been captured and not killed.

He could not leave now. Finley, Weber and his other companions were being
