One by one, the villagers died tragically on the spot. Their tragic cries echoed throughout the village. The villagers retreated, their faces filled with fear.
They realized a terrifying fact. They couldn't kill this monster at all. Instead, people kept dying tragically in its hands.
"Run!"
One of the villagers couldn't stand the fear anymore. He dropped the hoe in his hand and fled into the distance.
As if there was a chain effect, when the villager fled, the rest gave up resisting and fled in all directions. Obviously, they didn't want to die in the hands of this monster.
At the same time, Gu Xiaoxiao's face was pale. She was also fleeing with her brother. But how could the Blood Shadow give up on this bloody feast?
"All of you … are my food … No one … can escape." The Blood Shadow said cruelly. He turned into a bloody light and pounced on the fleeing villagers.
Old Man Li stumbled and fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with despair and fear. But when he saw the siblings running in front of him, his eyes turned and he shouted at them, "Xiaoxiao, take your brother and leave Little River Village. I'll block this monster for you."
Hearing Father Li's heroic voice behind her, how could Gu Xiaoxiao have the heart to abandon him?
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxiao turned and ran towards him. She wanted to help Old Man Li up and escape this terrifying place together.
"Sister!"
Gu Xiaoxiao's action made the young Gu Beichen's expression change. He didn't expect his sister to be so kind. She didn't care about her own safety to help others.
Kekeke!
"Blood food. What delicious blood food."
All of a sudden!
The Blood Shadow appeared in front of Old Man Li. Gu Xiaoxiao was helping him up. When they saw the Blood Shadow, Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with despair.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry."
Father Li said viciously. Abruptly, he pushed Gu Xiaoxiao's body toward the blood shadow. Then, he ran away awkwardly.
Old Man Li's push stunned Gu Xiaoxiao. She even forgot about the horror of the Blood Shadow. She couldn't understand why she would end up like this when she came to help Old Man Li.
"Sister!"
Seeing that his sister was about to be killed by the Blood Shadow, Gu Beichen wailed and ran towards Gu Xiaoxiao in a frenzy, disregarding his own safety.
"Little brother, don't worry about me. Hurry up and run."
Blood Shadow had already reached out his multicolored palm towards Gu Xiaoxiao, but at this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao was still thinking about her brother.
At this critical moment.
An explosive sound rang out in the air, as though the earth itself was trembling. The terrifying blood-red figure was flung backwards as a slender figure appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxiao.
After escaping death, it was like falling into a dream. When Gu Xiaoxiao saw the person in front of her, her eyes gradually turned red and a mist appeared in her eyes.
"Blockhead, it's you?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked with a complicated expression.
"Sister, are you alright?" The young man, Gu Beichen, stumbled over, his face covered in tears.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan looked at Gu Xiaoxiao indifferently. His voice was calm and leisurely as he said, "Do you see that? At the moment of life and death, humans will reveal their despicable nature. The so-called kindness is just a joke."
The despicable nature of humans once again entered Gu Xiaoxiao's ears. She slowly lowered her head as her body trembled slightly.
"Why … Why?"
"Why is it like this?"
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan. Her eyes were red and large amounts of tears flowed from her eyes.
"Because … human nature is evil … This is the real world that you see." Ye Xuan said calmly.
Kekeke!
With a cruel and sinister laugh, the blood-red light rumbled and the Blood Shadow returned. However, the blood-red eyes that looked at Ye Xuan were obviously filled with fear.
"You … are very strong … very strong …"
"Scram!"
His roar could shatter mountains and rivers and shake the heavens and the earth. Ye Xuan's simple word turned into a terrifying wave that sent the Blood Shadow flying again. The Blood Shadow screamed in horror and did not dare to approach Ye Xuan again.
"Blood … Blood food … I'm so hungry … so hungry …"
Although the Blood Shadow lacked intelligence, he could still feel the terror of Ye Xuan. Naturally, he did not dare to approach Ye Xuan. Instead, he carefully chased after the other villagers who were fleeing.
"Ah!"
Another villager died tragically at the hands of the Blood Shadow. There was a miserable howl.
"Xiaoxiao, save me."
A village girl was running away. When she saw that Gu Xiaoxiao was protected by Ye Xuan and the Blood Shadow did not dare to approach, she panicked and begged loudly.
"Mu … Mu Mu … I beg you … Please save them." Gu Xiaoxiao's face was full of tears. However, she kept shaking Ye Xuan's arm, hoping that Ye Xuan would save the villagers.
Looking at the tears on Gu Xiaoxiao's face, Ye Xuan was unmoved. He slowly shook his head and said, "In my opinion, your kindness is simply stupid. Besides, I won't save them."
"Why … Why … This monster is obviously afraid of you …" Gu Xiaoxiao's face was pale. She could not understand. Since Ye Xuan was so powerful, why couldn't he save these innocent people?
"I'm not a saint, nor am I a hero. What does their life and death have to do with me? Why should I save them?" Ye Xuan's eyes were deep and his voice was calm.
"Mu Mu, you're too heartless."
The young Gu Beichen reprimanded loudly, "If my sister didn't save you from the sea, how could you have survived until now?"
"Ha!"
A cruel sneer appeared on Ye Xuan's lips. He looked indifferently at the young man and said, "You're wrong. Even if it wasn't for your sister, I wouldn't have died in this world. Even if it was as you said, that your sister saved my life, I'll still save you and your brother today. That's considered repaying her kindness."
"You …" The young man's face was red, but he could not refute.
"Little brother, don't say anymore. Since he doesn't want to save them, we'll save them ourselves." Gu Xiaoxiao smiled sadly. She pulled her little brother and chased after the fleeing villagers.
Looking at the siblings running away, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Gu Xiaoxiao, your stupidity makes me very angry. Since you still haven't understood this world, let's see how laughable the kindness you believe in is."
Ye Xuan's aura was gloomy as he strolled forward.
…
At the end of Little River Village was a raging river. This river was so deep that one could not see the bottom. If someone fell into the river, they would be drowned in an instant. It would be a sure death. It was impossible for anyone to get out of the river.
At this moment, the villagers of Little River Village were gathered at the riverside in fear. Looking at the bottomless river, everyone's eyes were filled with despair.
They had reached the end of the road. Behind them, the bloody figure was approaching step by step. This was a dead end. These villagers had no way of breaking out.
