Chapter 432: All Things Are Straw Dogs (14)

呲——

The sound of a knife entering flesh.

The demon bird's shrill cry continued to shake.

It subconsciously loosened its claws because of the pain, but Si Cen had already rolled to the other side nimbly, raising the toy-like short dagger in his hand and stabbed at its other front paw.

This was a sharp blade specially made for He Xue, and it was infused with his own spiritual power. Even the thick-skinned demon bird could be easily penetrated by the dagger in the hands of a five-year-old child.

The front paw was almost broken.

Si Cen hugged Xiao Cao'er, rolled over twice in his arms, then stood up and ran away dragging her.

Xiao Cao'er still had tears on her face, but she was very excited about Si Cen's bravery and his escape from the claws of the demon bird, "Brother, you are so awesome!"

Si Cen had no mercy on women, and was anxious about carrying a child older than himself. Even if he cast a spell, he couldn't run very fast. He gave a very cold and straight command, "Shut up!"

Wouldn’t it be better to save your energy and escape?

Xiao Cao'er didn't care about being yelled at. Her eyes were bright and she ran wildly as hard as she could, pulled by Si Cen.

It is a pity.

Even though Si Cen had a magic weapon in his hand and had learned a few tricks, he was facing a group of demon birds, which were low-level but particularly difficult to deal with because they appeared in groups.

The harsh and unpleasant cries of the demon bird just now were not only an expression of pain and anger, but also a call to its companions.

But in an instant, a black flock of demonic birds flew over from afar with great momentum.

Their appearance stirred up the wind and snow, like a storm, gathering in the air in a dark mass, easily blocking every route for Si Cen to escape.

Si Cen frowned, held Xiao Cao'er's hand tightly, and stopped.

Xiao Cao'er had never seen such a scene before. There was no trace of excitement on her face. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She just held on firmly and tried not to cry.

Si Cen's face sank, and when the demon bird that he had injured swooped down towards him, he pushed Xiao Cao'er away.

*

The wind was howling and snowflakes were flying all over the sky.

All the young and strong men in the entire village came out and followed the direction mentioned by the village children, stepping deep and shallow, and then they saw a black flame rising from the ground.

Countless demon birds were torn to pieces in the black flames.

The piercing and shrill whistling sound makes people's eardrums hurt and their heads split.

Not far away, a thin figure wearing a blue cotton jacket with white flowers was lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Facing the flock of demonic birds for the first time, the villagers’ faces turned pale with horror, but the most terrifying thing was the flock of demonic birds and the small figure wrapped in black flames.

His clothes were already tattered, and his black hair had somehow turned the same pink as his eyes. His eyes had turned into vertical pupils like those of a cold-blooded animal, and a wound on his cheek was oozing blood, attracting the devil birds that were circling around him regardless of their lives to become restless, and they were willing to come over and bite him even at the risk of being burned and torn by devil flames, as if he were some kind of all-inclusive tonic.

The child's eyes were filled with extreme bloodthirstiness and insanity.

Xiaocao'er's father rushed over and picked up his daughter regardless of the danger. He found that she was still breathing and her hands and feet did not seem to be seriously injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and ran back with the child in his arms.

"Then what happened?"

"The village chief has already asked Xianshan for help. Besides...with such a strong demonic aura, Xianshan will definitely be alarmed."

"That kid..."

Everyone sighed as they looked at Si Cen, who seemed to be possessed by a demon.

Xiao Caoer woke up in his father's arms, crying without even opening his eyes, "Brother, brother is in danger..."

"It's possible that he attracted the demon bird. We have never seen demons here before. Demons cannot cross the snowfield."

This person's words made everyone silent, but everyone's suspicious hearts could not calm down.

Xiaocao'er's father snorted coldly, "Xiaochuan said that it was the kid who chased after Xiaocao and saved her. If it wasn't for him, would my Xiaocao still be alive now? Destroying the bridge before crossing the river is not what a real man does."

After hearing what he said, the villagers who were suspicious before shut up.

"The Immortal is coming!"

There was a clear crane cry, and in an instant several figures in green fell along with the crane.

He raised his fingers and made a gesture, and all the immortal swords came out. Amid the buzzing sound, all the demon birds that were still resisting Si Cen were wiped out.

The demonic flames that shot up into the sky were completely extinguished in an instant, and Si Cen's body softened and fell to the ground.

"Fairy!"

"The Immortal is coming!"

"Thank you, Immortal!"

The immortals that the villagers talked about looked to be no more than a teenager, and were actually just a group of ordinary disciples who had just started in Kunlun.

This time, we received news that a small village at the foot of the mountain was invaded by magic birds, so we were assigned a mission.

The demon bird is just a low-level demon. It is enough to send some young disciples down the mountain. It can also train their actual combat capabilities.

Of course, although they are low-level, the demon birds mostly appear in groups, which is actually difficult for young disciples.

But it's so easy...

The young disciple leading the team, Awu, looked at the unconscious child lying on the ground, seeming to be thinking about something.

"This person doesn't seem to be from your village?"

Awu looked at the village chief who was rushing over and asked.

The village chief then explained Si Cen's origins.

Ah Wu signaled his fellow disciples to check on Si Cen. At the same time, he searched the crane that brought them here. "The crane that the village chief mentioned just returned yesterday, so it should still be on the mountain being punished. I will check this matter, but this kid..."

"Brother Awu, this child is a demon!"

As soon as the junior disciple who went to check on Si Cen spoke, the villagers were in an uproar before the other disciples could say anything.

"Why would the demons appear here?"

"I saw that his eyes were different from those of ordinary people before, so I thought he was a strange person from Penglai Island, but I never thought he was a demon!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes on Si Cen changed.

Even Xiaocao'er's father's eyes changed and became complicated.

Si Cen woke up slowly and instantly became aware of the gazes falling on him.

He paused. Although he didn't understand what was happening, he didn't think it was a big deal because he had been looked at with prejudice too many times in the past. But he was worried. He propped up his little body and looked around quickly. When he saw Xiaocao'er staying in his father's arms, he felt relieved.

Xiao Caoer met his gaze and grinned at him, "Brother!"

She twisted her waist and stretched out her hands to get down, but her father held her arm tightly in his arms, not even allowing her to look at Si Cen and turned her body around.

Xiao Cao looked up at his father in confusion, "Dad, I want to go see my brother. He's bleeding."

Xiao Cao'er's father met his daughter's clear eyes and was stunned. He looked away as if to escape and scolded in a low voice, "Don't make trouble before the immortal speaks."

Si Cen understood Xiaocao'er's father's vigilance and rejection of him.

Just now, seeing that Xiaocao'er was safe and sound, the little bit of warmth that unconsciously appeared in my eyes when I received Xiaocao'er's gaze had completely disappeared at this moment.

He bit his back teeth inconspicuously and lowered his eyes.

There seemed to be a tingling pain in the palm of his hand. Si Cen lowered his eyes in a daze and loosened his left hand which had been tightly clenched.

The little straw grasshopper was pinched into tatters and became ugly.

Si Cen looked at it for three seconds, pursed his lips, and let go of his hand.

The ugly, tattered grasshopper fell into the cold snow.

Si Cen didn't even look at him again.
