Chapter 1507: Chapter 670: First Signs Emerge

It could be said that such a large and cumbersome group, moving with fanfare, would almost certainly attract demons; otherwise, it would be strange.

Therefore, Fang Yu was already mentally prepared for this.

However, although the demon appeared, it’s hard to say how strong it is.

So Fang Yu acted quickly.

With a flash of a shadow, he was already gone!

So fast?!

Song Zhenrong was startled on the spot, his expression bewildered.

Compared to back then, Mr. Diao’s power seems to have qualitatively changed?

Could it be... back at the inn, Mr. Diao was holding back?

As for Fang Yu’s instructions, Song Zhenrong naturally followed them well.

With Fang Yu handling it, he certainly didn’t need to follow along.

...

Liu Bixin was fleeing.

The demon’s appearance was so sudden.

His family had just been forced from their position within the group to the outer circle due to a strategic adjustment by the group.

The outer circle, that place was the most dangerous part of the group.

But Liu Bixin had no choice; when they fled Thunder City, they were already in a panic.

The whole family was out of money and food; within a few days, the emergency food they brought was consumed, and they didn’t even know how they’d get through today.

Fortunately, Captain Song was magnanimous; although he changed their position, he promised to solve their food problem.

As long as they were alive, there was hope.

Having food is better than guarding a spot and starving to death.

Liu Bixin could understand Captain Song and the group’s decision-makers’ thoughts, but his slightly younger child was full of indignation.

"Why do we have to give up our position! Staying a little bit inside the group means more safety! That Captain Song, I don’t think he’s any good! Even though I’ve often heard his good reputation in the city before!"

"It’s all because you’re weak, dad! Why did you compromise? If we insist on staying, what can they do to us?"

"I know we are out of food, can’t we just endure hunger for a few days! Maybe after a few days, the group will pass by a town, and by then, who needs to care about the group’s decisions?"

"Now that we’re on the outskirts of the group, if we encounter demons, we’ll be scapegoats, scapegoats for those rich Mr. Qians!"

The child was sixteen, at an impetuous age.

Some things, he didn’t understand.

Some hardships, he hadn’t experienced.

Endure hunger for a few days?

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Bixin never let his child go hungry!

Though Liu Bixin considered himself to have little skill, he still ensured the family’s food, drink, and expenses.

And these were accumulated through his own hard work and perseverance.

The child hadn’t suffered, but he had!

Endure hunger for a few days?

Those who’ve truly been hungry can’t say such things.

Such torment can drive a person insane.

Looking at such a large-scale group, how difficult is it to ensure food and drink for everyone?

Liu Bixin didn’t expect Captain Song to help much; after all, they shamelessly sought Captain Song’s protection, merely following along.

But Captain Song still stepped up to resolve it, even promised to provide basic food relief.

Such magnanimity, such kindness, completely supports Captain Song’s reputation these years in Thunder City.

The child is young, ignorant, and Liu Bixin didn’t say much else, letting him complain was enough.

But he didn’t expect...

A pair of black eyes suddenly emerged from the roadside bushes!

What a soul-stealing, terrifying pair of eyes! Filled with the beast’s desire to kill and greedy gaze.

On the spot, Liu Bixin shouted.

"Demon, Demon!!!"

He shouted loudly, instantly causing panic.

The son, who was just sulking, immediately ran crazily this way.

"Don’t come over!" Liu Bixin yelled.

But the child was disobedient; rebellious yet filial, the child unaware of the demon’s terror ran roaring towards him.

At the same time, the presence of those giant eyes slowly emerged from the bushes.

A chest-rattling growl, tusks as long as arms, a huge body as tall as three to five people, fur standing stiff.

A huge Pig Demon resembling a wild boar, slobbering from its mouth, maintained a distance, eyes fixed on this side.

Hearing his shout, the fleeing crowd behaved like moving ants or flowing sustenance, making the giant Pig Demon’s gaze rotate.

But the Pig Demon seemed to be wary of something, like a beast assessing strength before hunting prey, measuring the price first.

Liu Bixin could feel that the demon before him was pondering, hesitating.

But visibly, the temptation before its eyes was gradually overcoming everything.

Liu Bixin turned to run, facing the direction his son was headed, wanting to meet him.

But his start was slow, already at the group’s outermost edge, so even if he fled, he was at the tail end.

Beasts have basic attack logic, targeting the closest one.

That’s why it’s often said, when with many people, you don’t need to run fast, just faster than others.

Once a beast captures a target, it starts to feast.

Demons are somewhat different from beasts, but in most people’s eyes, there’s little difference.

Liu Bixin could feel his heart pounding.

If the demon behind stops observing and starts hunting, then he... is very likely to be the first prey!

"Dad!!"

The distance to his son was getting closer, but Liu Bixin was still desperately waving his arms, yelling to flee.
