 Chapter 872 The old-fashioned unfolding

　　“Wow——!”

In the ruins, a boy in rags collapsed among them. He stared at the servo skull in front of him in horror, picked up the stone at hand, and threw it at it desperately.

For this level of "attack", the Servo Skull didn't pay attention at all. It just shook a little to avoid this stone attack, which was completely inaccurate.

 But this made the boy even more angry. His anger even exceeded his fear, driving the boy to be full of strength again.

"You...you actually look down on me, I'm just a demon...!"

While roaring, the boy stood up, grabbed a branch, and stared at the servo skull fiercely.

“Come on, kill me. Even if you kill me, I won’t surrender to you monsters!”

Although his legs were shaking, the boy still stood up with a desperate glare and stared at the servo skull.

 At this moment, darkness suddenly fell.

 “Is this the kid?”

"Why?"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, the boy was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head, and then the boy saw that behind him, a terrifying existence as tall as a mountain, wearing dark steel armor, was standing there, as if A giant bear looked down at him. And within the eye sockets of the strange skull, a scarlet light flashed past...

 “Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

At this moment, the courage that the boy had finally mustered up disappeared in an instant. Just being stared at by that red gaze made him feel as if he was about to fall into an abyss of fear and crisis!

“Really, big brother, you’d better leave it to me at this time!”

Just when the boy's mind was about to go blank, suddenly a clear and sweet voice sounded. When he heard this voice, the boy felt like a drowning man grabbing the safety rope thrown down, and his mind regained consciousness. Then, the boy saw a beautiful and lovely girl who seemed to be shining with light appeared in front of him.

 Hello, can you understand me? Um... does this translator really work?

As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand and tapped her wrist, then looked at the boy again.

 “Ah, hey? This, what on earth is this...?”

 Perhaps he was so surprised that the boy didn't know how to react for a while.

“Ah, you don’t have to worry about him. Big brother only looks fierce on the surface, but in fact he is a good person..."

After saying this, Zhenji Ling paused for a moment.

 “So, can you tell us, what’s going on here?”

 Under Zhen Ji Ling's comfort, the originally panicked boy finally calmed down and told Duan Muhuai and the others what happened here.

Just as Duanmuhuai thought, there was an attack here.

 The attack of the demons.

 Simply put, it is an old trick used by demon kings and demons to try to destroy humans and rule the world. Because the demons were very powerful and could fly in the sky, humans were no match for them and were beaten back steadily. Of course, many brave men went to the north to try to defeat the Demon King, but unfortunately, almost none of those brave men came back.

 “Demons…”

After listening to the description, Duanmu Huai thought about it. According to the boy's description, the demons looked similar to humans, but they had horns - well, they sounded very similar to those dragon people of Gu Leiya.

 However, there are some differences in description.

 Duanmu Huai touched his chin and began to think.

 In fact, many similar RPG games and missions have similar backgrounds.

 For example, “Since the beginning of the separation of heaven and earth, the battle between gods and demons has never stopped…”

 Or "Gods, humans, and demons were created in this world, and the three races are constantly fighting against each other..."

 Generally this is the background.

 But the boy told a completely different story.

According to what he said, in the ancient times, one day, monsters called demons suddenly appeared, and then began a long struggle with humans.

what is this? A genetically mutated Godzilla who drank nuclear wastewater?

Furthermore, I still don’t know what the demons in this world look like...

 So Duanmuhuai made a decision.

“Anyway, let’s kill the Demon King first.”

 “Hey? Are you sure you want to do this? Big brother?”

I have to say that Zhenji Ling was also surprised when he heard Duanmuhuai's decision.

"Of course, since the demons are trying to destroy humans, they are naturally the enemies of the Tribunal. In addition, according to my experience, this kind of abnormal enchantment is generally related to the demon king. Maybe after killing the demon king, we will I can contact other people. All in all, it’s good to find a target first and then go for it.”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stood up and stretched.

“In short, it’s been decided that the Demon King’s City is in the north, so we’ll go north. I hope it’s not too far.”

 “Then... what to do with that child?”

As he spoke, Zhen Ling looked at the boy standing not far away, watching them uneasily.

"Just find a nearby village and leave him there." Duanmu Huai just glanced at the other party and then looked away.

 “Okay, let’s go.”

There is only one road. On Duanmuhuai's shoulders sat Zhen Jiling and Ojisi, while the boy gritted his teeth and followed them, neither far nor near.

Duanmu Huai's speed was not slow. It would be difficult for an average adult to keep up, let alone a child. But even so, he still gritted his teeth and followed Duanmu Huai, as if he had not given up. Duanmu Huai turned a blind eye to this. He just walked forward and then found a place to rest. Of course, the child was also hiding next to their camp during the rest, watching them carefully.

Although Zhen Jiling would give the child water and food, he would not take it immediately. Instead, he would wait for Zhen Jiling to return to Duanmu Huai before carefully picking up the food and eating it.

 “Just like a puppy.”

 “Puppy?”

"Yes, it's like a stray dog ​​on the street, cautiously wary of other people... But you also have to be careful. If you don't plan to adopt it, it's better not to get too close, so as not to give it the wrong impression and shake it when the time comes. It would be bad if I wrap my tail around you."

 For Duanmuhuai, this is just a small piece of advice.

“According to the child, there should be a village not far ahead, and we should be able to reach it before dark. Let’s just put him there.”

I have to say that Duanmuhuai's luck was pretty good this time.

Just as he said, they arrived at the small village next to the woods before dark.

Of course, if there is any problem, it is...

 “Good guy, it seems I came at the right time.”

Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer. In the light of the fire, people's cries, screams, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard.

Under the night, in the shining firelight, dark, wolf-like monsters with horns are hunting humans in groups. The latter could only scream and run away at this moment, trying to instinctively extend his life for some time.

 This is just the most instinctive survival of life.

Several men who looked like guards were holding long swords, protecting their families and confronting the monsters. They were covered in blood and gasping for breath. Behind them were women and children holding their children tightly.

 They are playing with their prey.

The guards knew very well that they were no match for these monsters. If the opponent swarmed them, they and others would have died long ago. But they didn't do that. They just surrounded themselves and others, launching attacks again and again, slowly tormenting them, waiting for their own destruction.

 And all this is...

The guard clenched his sword, gritted his teeth, and looked up. Not far behind those monsters, a man dressed luxuriously and dressed like a nobleman was standing there. He held a dog whistle in his right hand and looked at them with a smile, as if he was enjoying a drama. of the audience.

 “Damn demons……”

The guard wanted to rush over and cut his throat immediately, but he couldn't do that because just now, the last person who wanted to cut the demon's throat had been completely devoured by those monsters in front of them. .

 “Go on, why don’t you scream?”

The demon man looked at the guards in front of him and the people behind them with a smile, and spread his hands.

"Let me hear the screams of human beings again, let me hear your screams when you face death."

 “I won’t let you succeed, monster!”

"oh?"

Facing the guard's roar, the demon man chuckled, and then put the dog whistle into his mouth.

 “In that case, I’ll let you scream.”

  “——————!”

A sharp whistle sounded, and the next moment those monsters opened their mouths, jumped up, and rushed towards the guards again!

 “Go to hell——!”

At this moment, facing the mouth full of stench that was coming towards him, the guard no longer hesitated. He raised his sword high and rushed towards the enemy in front of him with a feeling of sharing the same fate!

 “Huh——!”

 At this moment, a whirlwind broke out.

The whistling and rotating war hammer turned into a strong wind and rushed into the battlefield. The next moment, I saw those monsters being smashed into pulp by the rotating war hammer. Their hard and invulnerable bodies became as fragile as porcelain in front of the shining war hammer. It was all wiped out in a matter of seconds.

 “Boom!”

 At the same time, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of the guards.

 “This is the demon clan.”

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed the war hammer again, looked at the man with a solemn expression in front of him, and opened his mouth with a ferocious smile.

“What a nostalgic warp stench...I think I know what you are.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer.

 “Prepare to die.”
