Chapter 303 - Night Attack by Evil Demons (2/2)
His voice fell, and there was a loud bang from the distance, as if something was broken. A white light seemed to flash across the sky. In the next instant, a series of roars was heard. It was a mixture of many types of sounds, and it sounded like tigers and foxes. The village which was originally quiet suddenly erupted into chaos, with incessant shouts, cries, and many exclamations of “Monster!”. Apparently, something had appeared.
“Big sister…” The child standing at the side was frightened. He moved towards Shen Ying in fear.
“You can actually be scared too?” There was a glimpse of amazement in the eyes of Lonemoon. “That’s a rare sight. What you are now is much cuter than the fake child in the Divine World last time.”
The child was stunned. Although he did not understand his words, he looked like he was angered by his mocking tone. He took a deep breath, walked outside, and sat back onto the chair in all seriousness. His small hands clenched tightly, and he sat very straight.
“…” Such an unlovable child.
“Not going to help?” Shen Ying looked outside and gestured.
“There is a protective formation in this village. What was broken just now was just the outer layer.” Lonemoon did not show a hint of moving. “Although the formation inside was not very strong, it shouldn’t have a problem protecting several dozen villagers for a night, so long as they don’t come out to seek their own death! Besides, there is an immortal sect right nearby. They will naturally realize that so many demons have broken through, and they should be sending someone latest by dawn.”
Shen Ying took a look at him and said nothing.
“And the Godfiend had said that,” Lonemoon continued, a serious expression on his face, “The fate of mortals are determined by their own destiny. It is better that we don’t intervene easily.”
“Oh,” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, and she suddenly said, “You are listening to him?”
“…”
Lonemoon’s whole body stiffened, and as if he remembered something, he secretly swore, “F*ck!” He almost got into the trap of Godfiend again.
He stood up right away and said to the child opposite him, “Keep an eye on her!”
In the next instant, his body shape flashed and he rushed out straight away.
The child stunned, not understanding his meaning. Nevertheless, he turned to watch the person next to him closely.
In a short while, the horrible shouts outside died down much, and there were even a few cheers in between. Shen Ying continued to lean on the table like a dead person, and the expression of the child grew much more relieved.
Until a bang sounded in the right rear, as if something had collapsed. It was accompanied by a tiger’s roar.
His face turned white, as he stood up suddenly, and exclaimed, “Mother Wang!” After that, he immediately turned and rushed out.
“Che-” Before Shen Ying could finish, the child had already disappeared. She could only sigh and say, “So troublesome!” Why don’t all of them sleep in the middle of the night!
Only then did she stand up lazily, supported by the table.
The child did not run far, only to another house a few tens of meters away. Shen Ying finally found him after circling two laps. Yet he was already caught by a tiger demon.
That was a fifth-level tiger demon who hadn’t even evolved into human shape completely. On top of the human body was a huge tiger’s head. Its mouth was open, sporting a mouthful of sharp teeth. It had stepped a man underfoot – an old man by the look of it – and its two hands clasped one child each. One was Yi Qing, who was kicking and hitting hard, and the other was a little girl of five or six years old.
“Let go, let me go!” He struggled with all his strength, but his small thin arms posed no threat to the tiger demon at all.
“Hahahaha… Such fresh human meat is my favorite.” The tiger demon’s eyes shone, and he looked as if his saliva was almost dripping. “At first, I thought this old woman’s meat would be too tough to taste good, and the small one was barely enough for a meal. I didn’t expect another small one to come running to me. Now I can finally have a filling meal.”
“Let go of Mother Wang and Niu Niu!” The child was using all the strength in his body, yet it had no results, and instead his face turned purple from the tiger demon’s grasp.
“Since you are so eager, I will start with eating you.” The tiger demon raised the kid straightaway, opened his huge, bloody mouth and looked as if he was going to bite.
“Hey!” Shen Ying, who had finally reached, suddenly sounded. “Isn’t it not so good to bully kids?”
