Chapter Ten A Turn for the Better

  This thing not only used its own two legs to kick against the wall and borrow a huge momentum, but its wings also kept flapping, making its speed even greater, like a cannonball, it shot straight at Xiao Xuan.

  Xiao Xuan's reaction was already very fast, but this time he had no way to dodge, and before he could even make any evasive action, the opponent appeared in front of him, coming so swiftly and suddenly that Xiao Xuan could only subconsciously raise his arms to block the impact.

  However, the fact has long proven that this thing has extremely high intelligence, it even has the ability to manipulate and influence people's emotions, and capture the loopholes in human emotions. In combat, it has shown extremely high abilities.

  At the moment of collision, this thing first used its front two limbs to open up Xiao Xuan's arms, and then its hind limbs followed suit, heavily pounding Xiao Xuan's chest. Xiao Xuan let out a muffled hum from his throat, and then he flew backward, crashing into a rocky wall and bouncing back down. When he collided with the rock wall, a dull thud was heard, indicating that this collision was not light.

  But that thing didn't give up its attack after landing a hit, instead it flapped its wings and rotated in mid-air before diving straight down towards Xiao Xuan again. Xiao Xuan sat on the ground dejectedly, as if he had been severely injured by the previous blow. However, just when the sound of breaking air was extremely close to him, he suddenly raised his hand, a ball of fire condensed in his palm and shot out, colliding head-on with that thing.

  "Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!"

  The fireball hit the thing and it burst into flames all over its body, changing direction in mid-air, just like Xiao Xuan before, crashing into a wall and falling down. The flames on its body were finally extinguished due to its struggles, but the commotion of hitting the rock wall was no less than Xiao Xuan's earlier crash.

  At this time, Xiao Xuan slowly stood up with one hand supporting the wall behind him. His chest had seven or eight bloody wounds, all of which were scratched out by the ugly monster in front of him with its sharp claws. Moreover, his own ribs seemed to be fractured, and it was difficult for him to breathe now, indicating that he had suffered a serious internal injury.

  However, the current state of that thing isn't necessarily much better. The fur on its body should be extremely flammable, and it was just injured by Xiao Xuan's fireball earlier. Xiao Xuan is also a member of his own family who knows his own affairs, and the true power of his apprentice-level fireball technique is actually quite limited. It's just that this thing is afraid of fire, so it was caught off guard, and it's purely a case of treating a dead horse as if it were alive, but fortunately, the treatment worked.

  When his body was fully standing, Xiao Xuan reloaded the pistol while staring at the thing on the ground in front of him. With the pistol reloaded with bullets, Xiao Xuan felt a sense of security again. Although that thing flew very fast, as long as it dared to approach itself, it had the confidence to hit it at close range. Now thinking about it, he directly fired all the bullets in the magazine earlier and gave the opponent an opportunity to sneak up on himself, also because he was too careless or because of the emotional influence that thing had on him. Although he finally managed to restrain himself, he became more excited and impulsive, and during the battle, if one side has such emotions, it is easy to capsize in this hidden ditch.

  That thing wasn't dead, on the contrary, although its body was motionless there, Xiao Xuan could see that its facial expression was constantly changing, from venomous to fearful, from cold smile to anger. Heaven knows why this four-not-like creature had a face similar to humans, making people feel extremely eerie. Moreover, as it kept changing expressions, it seemed to be able to completely absorb your attention.

  "Could it be that this is the man-eating devil of variation?"

  Xiao Xuan remembered that one of the branch tasks issued by the main god was to kill a mutated man-eating demon, and it seemed that if nothing unexpected happened, it would be this thing in front of him. However, the degree of mutation was really too different from those man-eating demons, and it had even grown wings and possessed the ability to affect human emotions, which was infinitely close to a spiritual system skill.

  The scene suddenly fell into silence, Xiao Xuan didn't dare to fire another shot from his gun, and the mutated man-eating monster also seemed to be wary of Xiao Xuan's ability to conjure up a fireball, not daring to launch a reckless attack like before. Both sides were watching each other's moves, neither side dared to make a rash move at this time.

  "Xuan, are you here?"

  Sarah's voice suddenly came from the corner of the corridor, probably because she saw Xiao Xuan not coming back for so long and also heard the gunshot, so she came to check the situation. It can be said that Sarah was in a good heart, but she did a bad thing. At the moment when Xiao Xuan and the mutated food devil were facing each other, a woman with absolute significance to Xiao Xuan suddenly intervened, causing the situation to collapse instantly!

  That variant of the man-eating demon has the ability to "peek" at other people's emotions, and in that instant, it captured Xiao Xuan's emotional changes when he heard the woman's voice, which means that the woman is extremely important to Xiao Xuan, so it has an opportunity!

  The variant of the man-eating demon unfolded its wings again, and before that, it was on fire, but only burned off the fluff outside the keratin, without causing any serious injury to the skin. So at this moment, after opening its wings, it can fly quickly like before. This time, its target is directly pointing at Sarah who is walking towards here.

  As for Xiao Xuan, once something unexpected happened to him, he would also be instantly killed by the main god, so no matter what, he had to protect Sara well. Seeing that the mutated food devil had already flown over, he didn't dare to delay and chased after it without hesitation.

  However, how can a person's running speed possibly compare to flying? All Xiao Xuan could do was watch helplessly as the mutated Foodie disappeared into the tunnel ahead of him, and he could only grit his teeth and continue chasing after it.

  "Don't die, don't die, don't die, Sarah, you can't die!"

  Xiao Xuan's heart was almost roaring with anger, at this time, he began to extremely dislike the feeling that his life and death were still tied to another person, but there was no way around it, this was a task decreed by the Main God, this was a task world controlled by the Main God's consciousness, Xiao Xuan could only struggle and strive for the power to survive under the Main God's rules!

  "Hurray!"

  At the corner of Yongdao, Sarah almost collided with Xiao Xuan who was running at high speed. However, when Xiao Xuan saw Sarah standing in front of him unscathed, his heart was no longer filled with excitement but shock and astonishment. He had already prepared himself for the worst, thinking that Sarah must have been attacked by the mutant cannibal and would soon die. But Sarah's appearance clearly showed that she hadn't been attacked at all. There was only one possibility left.

  Xiao Xuan raised his head, and indeed, a black shadow fell from above at an astonishing speed, two thick arms directly grabbed Xiao Xuan's shoulders, the wings flapped, and actually lifted Xiao Xuan off the ground. Due to this sudden attack being long-planned, the impact force was exceptionally strong, Xiao Xuan's shoulder blades were almost pierced by the sharp claws, and the subsequent grab-and-fly action made Xiao Xuan involuntarily drop the gun from his hand. Now he could only be passively lifted and flown towards the other end of the tunnel by this mutated man-eating demon.

  The blood pool reappeared in front of Xiao Xuan, the first time he fell into the blood pool was passive, and this time, Xiao Xuan was also passive. The mutated man-eating demon quickly lowered its flight altitude until it completely submerged Xiao Xuan under the surface of the blood. It wanted to drown Xiao Xuan to death, and in the blood pool, Xiao Xuan would not be able to release the fireball that made it fearful like before.

  The thick, turbid blood poured into Xiao Xuan's mouth and nose, his stomach began to churn uncontrollably, and his desire for air became his greatest need. However, his shoulders and cheekbones were tightly locked by the mutated flesh-eating demon, which was pressing down on him with its wings flapping wildly, making it impossible for Xiao Xuan to float up. If this continued, Xiao Xuan would be drowned directly in this blood pool!

  Xiao Xuan struggled ceaselessly under the bloody face, but to no avail. Gradually, his struggling intensity began to weaken, while on the face of the mutated flesh-eating demon pressing down on Xiao Xuan above, a sinister smile spread across its long face;

  Bang!

  Just then, a gunshot rang out, and Xiao Xuan felt the pressure on his shoulder suddenly disappear. He used up his last bit of strength to kick his legs and float out of the bloody surface.

  Air! Air! Air! Air!

  Xiao Xuan took a deep breath, and at the same time, he turned his head to see the mutated flesh-eating demon floating on the surface of the blood. Its face had been pierced by a bullet hole, which should have killed it instantly. Now its corpse was floating there, while on the other side of the blood pool, Su Mo Ran stood still, holding his gun.
