BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31 Desperate Situation
Su Mo and Xue Qiaoqiao looked at each other, and without a word, they immediately rushed in the direction of the cry.
After passing through the stone houses and the forest, they soon arrived at a hillside. From afar, seven or eight people were standing at the bottom of the slope. Except for the couple and the child in the middle who were indeed human, the other five people surrounding them all looked like villagers, but Su Mo could see bright HP bars above their heads.
In addition, those five "people" were eating. The couple in the middle was covered in blood and was already half-dead. Only the little girl who was standing behind them had tears all over her face. She was trembling and so frightened that she could not move. It was obvious that she was the one who had screamed.
At this moment, the five fox demons at the bottom of the slope sensed Su Mo and Xue Qiaoqiao's arrival. They raised their heads, revealing blood-stained lips and vicious smiles. When they saw Su Mo and Xue Qiaoqiao, the smiles on their faces became even wider, as if they had seen delicious prey.
Except for one who stayed behind to keep an eye on the little girl, the remaining four took the initiative to rush over, ready to capture them.
"This bunch of bastards!" Xue Qiaoqiao's body trembled as she couldn't help but curse.
At the side, Su Mo had already charged down like a ferocious tiger. Borrowing the momentum of his downward charge, Su Mo's speed increased, and he released the retractable sword. Just as he was about to make contact with the fox demon leader, a wave of sword energy suddenly burst out from the sword.
"Sword energy slash!" The extremely sharp sword energy swept across, and wherever it reached, all the small trees and plants that were taller than his waist broke.
Amidst the fluttering grass and the creaking sound of trees collapsing, the smile on the face of the fox demon who was leading the group turned into shock, then fear.
With the sound of something being pierced, blood burst out from the demon's waist. Even the fox demon behind the leader was instantly cut in half. Perhaps their life force was too strong, but they didn't die on the spot. Instead, they struggled on the ground and let out shrill cries.
Seeing this cruel scene, the faces of the other two fox demons behind them turned pale, and they looked at Su Mo in fear before turning and running without a word.
"How can I allow you to leave as you please? Instant slash!" Su Mo instantly appeared behind the two fox demons and slashed down with his sword.
The sword light cut through the upper bodies of the two fox demons.
Amid the blood, he looked at the last fox demon at the bottom of the slope. The fox demon turned around and tried to hold the little girl behind it hostage.
"Finger sword!" Su Mo pointed, and sharp sword energy shot out from his fingertips that instantly pierced through the back of the fox demon.
The fox demon staggered two steps forward due to the force and fell to the ground. Its body twitched and stopped moving.
In the blink of an eye, he had taken care of the 5 level 1 fox demons, but Su Mo did not feel too happy.
The couple at the bottom of the slope was dead. The little girl had thus lost her parents completely. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Five fox demons were not even as valuable as a human's finger.
"Well done!" Xue Qiaoqiao patted him on the shoulder and walked toward the little girl at the foot of the mountain.
She first checked on the couple's injuries. After confirming that they could not be saved, she began to treat the little girl. Even though the little girl had managed to escape alive, she had suffered a huge mental blow.
Xue Qiaoqiao cast mental comfort and other skills on her to ensure that her emotions were slightly stabilized.
After that, she began to ask her about the situation.
At that moment, Su Mo, who had finished absorbing the lifespan from the four fox demons, also came over.
He heard the little girl continue, "A month ago, a strange crack appeared near the village. Grandpa village chief, Uncle Wang, and the others went to check it out out of curiosity, but they encountered some terrifying demons and were possessed by those demons. Then, those demons hunted around the village. Everyone was panicking and ran in all directions. My parents also brought me away and we hid in a hidden cave nearby. We would occasionally hear screams from the surroundings, all of which were the sounds of the uncles and aunties in the village being hunted. We relied on the mushrooms in the cave, underground water, rats, and so on to barely survive. However, we also finished all the food in the past few days. As such, we were forced to come out, and at the same time, we planned to use this opportunity to escape down the mountain. In the end, they caught us not long after we came out. To protect me, my parents were..."
The little girl's tears fell again as she spoke.
Xue Qiaoqiao used a sleep spell on her to make her fall asleep, preventing her from being triggered again.
At the same time, her and Su Mo's expressions became serious.
"It seems like the Door is really nearby," Su Mo said in a low voice, "We have to quickly send out the information and then leave with this little girl. We can't stay here. There must be stronger fox demons near the Door. We'll have to wait for the main force to come and deal with it."
Xue Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement and immediately used her phone to inform the others about the situation here.
However, as soon as she sent the message, more than a dozen fox demons suddenly appeared on the mountain.
There were even a few that were at level 2.
Seeing Su Mo's group of three, they roared as they rushed over.
"Let's go!" Xue Qiaoqiao's expression changed.
She picked up the little girl and rushed out with Su Mo.
"Stop them!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
...
The fox demons chasing behind them cried out at the same time, and the sound waves they released had a strange hallucinating effect.
In an instant, Su Mo felt as if the scenery around him was overlapping. It was as if he couldn't step on solid ground and could fall down at any moment.
He covered his ears, gritted his teeth, and continued to run.
With super endurance, he followed behind Xue Qiaoqiao and barely managed not to be left behind.
On the way, they kept meeting fox demons who came from other places to capture them.
Most of them were at level 2, and there was even one at level 3.
If not for Xue Qiaoqiao noticing that something was wrong in advance, they would have run straight into it.
Running and dodging all the way, there was simply no time to distinguish the direction in the dense forest. In the end, they finally left the dense and lush forest.
What appeared in front of them was an extremely wide landscape. It was so wide that they were on a high cliff where the bottom could not be seen.
They had run to the edge of the cliff. The road ahead was a dead end.
Behind him, more than a dozen fox demons walked out of the forest one after another, most of whom were level 2.
Even further away, more fox demons were rushing over.
Seeing this, Su Mo's heart sank.
