All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 28 Year after year
The arrow was not fast, but it was straight and pierced the demon shadow without stopping.

Yuan Beishan, who was standing in front of the demonic figure, was stunned when he saw the arrow.

"Brother Ji!"

Chen Chu saw that although the arrow was not powerful, it was very accurate. He immediately raised his fists and hit the devil's hand to open the door in the middle of the demon shadow. Then he used his elbows to strike out continuously like thunder, and trapped the black shadow with powerful elbow strikes!

Ji Ran understood, and immediately leaped behind it. The sword light was like the moon, covering all the wings.

It happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, the arrow was already in front of him!

Just as the arrow was about to hit the monster, something unexpected suddenly shot out from under the monster's feet!

It was a tail with a human face!
Click!

The tail bit hard, but it bit a thick and huge palm! The owner of the palm squeezed it hard, and actually squeezed the human face on the tail into a ball of blood!
It’s Yuan Beishan!

Pfft!

Bang!
The arrow hit the target!

The shimmering silver light turned out to be a pearl as big as a baby's fist!

At this moment, as it shattered, a thick mirage erupted from it! All the gray and white shattered, and the thick fog once again transformed into an extremely realistic village, and... villagers.

"finished?"

Chen Chu watched the monster stiffen, then leaped back to avoid it. Ji Ran, standing behind it, shook his head, unsure.

When the arrows flew towards him, he actually felt that the monster's wings suddenly became limp, so he didn't try to intercept them. Otherwise, he would not know if he could stop six wings.

Click!

At this moment, the scale-like shell on the monster's body fell off and it fell to its knees with a bang!
Amidst the shattered black, a bloody, skinless figure emerged.

Ji Ran suddenly saw that Chen Chu's face changed drastically!

Yuan Beishan, who was standing next to him, was stunned and trembling all over.

Ji Ran's heartbeat suddenly stopped. What happened? !

He immediately walked around the blood corpse and went to the side. When he took a closer look, he felt his scalp explode and a numbness instantly spread throughout his body!
The skinless corpse had a hideous face covered in blood, but one could still make out the face—it was Yuan Beishan!
The thick mirage spread outward and melted away. But at this moment, it was extremely thick!

Suddenly, a bloodstain from his brow to his lower abdomen appeared on Yuan Beishan's body, and thick mist surged out of his body! There were no bones or internal organs in this body, just a piece of human skin!
The human skin was blown by the mist and slowly fell on the bloody body, fitting perfectly.

Ji Ran's throat rolled and he clenched Kunwu in his hand.

Yes, he didn’t know how he died, but there was a huge gap on his body!

But it was not cut open by external force, but by himself, crawling out of the human skin.

Yuan Beishan is the demon who slaughtered the village and ate people!
"no no……"

"Nannan, Uncle, Sanniang..."

"No way, how could that be!!"

"It's me, it's me, it's really me?!"

"Why!!"

"Ahhhh-"

At this moment Yuan Beishan looked up!
The mist dissipated from his side, revealing his true appearance. His eyebrows were sparse, his teeth were sparse, his muscles were black, his eyes were red, his graying hair was disheveled, tears of blood flowed from his eyes, and his whole body was trembling!

Yes, the commander of the Southern Han army, who had been marching and fighting for twenty years, could he really not eat human flesh?
Yuan Beishan held his head, his eyes bulged and bloodshot!
He remembered, he remembered.

He thought of the demon who broke into the village late at night and asked him to come out of seclusion and serve as the vanguard general of the Han army!

After refusing, he left behind a silver pearl and said that if he was determined not to go, he should take the pearl with him. When the Han army saw the pearl in the future, they would not come to disturb this small mountain village.

After wearing it...

I just thought that girl's calves looked so crisp, like white, sweet lotus roots. Uncle's head was wrinkled, and it must have tasted as sweet as the sweet potatoes in the fields. Sanniang's figure and skin were as smooth as a lamb's...

"Baji, baji—gululu—"

The only memory left was the hellish chewing sound and the hunger that dominated me.

"Do not!!"

“Fake, fake!!!”

Yuan Beishan trembled like a sieve, the pain piercing his intestines and bones made his heart tremble! Black energy once again emanated from his body! This time, nine bulges appeared on his back, nine wings!

"careful!"

Chen Chu's face trembled violently, and he said, "Damn it! I know what that six-winged creature is!"

"No wonder he was able to protect this village before. His demonic transformation has even allowed him to transform into a six-winged demon!" "Now, his emotions are out of control. I'm afraid he's about to grow nine wings!"

Chen Chu's face darkened and he said, "Take Wang Xian and run! This kind of demon is one of the three most powerful demon forms in the Han army. We are no match for them!"

Ji Ran glanced at Wang Xian behind him and shouted, "Run!"

He immediately raised his knife and stood beside Chen Chu.

"you……"

Ji Ran exhaled and said, "It just has a few more wings."

Chen Chu said nothing more, but raised his spear, tensing his muscles, ready to go!
“How do I face them, how do I face them!”

"How, how!"

"They will hate me, hate me..."

"Then my past ten years... are nothing!!!"

The regret and hatred that permeated my heart gradually turned into a darkness that obscured my humanity. The mirage gradually stopped dissipating and began to flow back.

"Can't wait any longer!"

Ji Ran frowned slightly. He had already realized that the evil spirit had completely gained the upper hand. Yuan Beishan's transformation into a demon was inevitable!
Chen Chu also nodded and was about to move with his gun.

At this moment, Wang Xian appeared running over.

"you!"

Ji Ran was stunned and immediately shouted, "Back off!"

"Brother Ji!"

At this moment, Wang Xian was holding a delicate little girl in his arms, but the girl's legs were hanging in Wang Xian's elbows, looking like two white bones.

"She asked me to carry her here! It was her talisman that killed the monster just now!"

Chen Chu was stunned. He was familiar with talismans. Was that a divine talisman? Wasn't it just an ordinary peach talisman?
Wang Xian said this as he put the little girl down. The girl in the red dress struggled to walk through the mist. The mist's influence sometimes restored her legs to normal, sometimes reduced them to white bones. This, in reality, repeatedly caused her to endure the pain of her flesh being melted away, akin to slow slicing.

Ji Ran and Chen Chu were stunned, but their movements slowed down a bit.

At this moment, Yuan Beishan was covered in black energy.

On his back, nine wings had pierced the flesh and were slowly growing. The top three wing tips were burning with gray-white flames.

suddenly!

A pair of soft little hands embraced Yuan Beishan's head, and a delicate face pressed against Yuan Beishan's bloody face.

"Grandpa, be good and don't cry."

Yuan Beishan's body stiffened. He raised his head, but was shocked to see that the little girl's red face was filled with only heartache and worry.

In the thick mirage, all the villagers looked at him quietly, with relief in their eyes.

No hatred, no resentment.

This is the village I returned to and protected for a full ten years, this is the village I have taken care of for a generation...

They didn't blame themselves.

In the mist, the little girl stood on tiptoe, hugged the old man's neck, and gently patted his back with her chubby little hands. She hummed the lullaby that the old man sang to her when she was a child.

The old man's lips were trembling, his hair was disheveled, and beneath his ugly and filthy face, only his eyes became clearer and clearer, with turbid tears sliding down his face.

Sanniang stood in the crowd, smiling at him. Uncle tapped his pipe and nodded at him. Everyone parted the fog and left together.

"Everyone, wait... wait for me!"

Everyone stopped and waited in the dispersing mist at the village entrance.

The dispersed mist created a wind that blew away a peach charm.

The peach charms were reflected in the depths of the old pupils, looking crooked. In the girl's childish song, it looked very much like the New Year's Eve when she just learned to write.

Year after year.

Yuan Beishan suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears, howling like a baby in grievance.

The evil spirit on his body suddenly disappeared.

The mirage dissipated.

Ji Ran sheathed his sword, and saw a ray of morning light covering the lush green hills. Mist, ghostly aura, and traces of magic, accompanied by the girl's soft nursery rhyme, gradually faded away.
