Death descended like a shadow, and the strange figure could not resist.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lanxing, the Northern Yuan Continent, the forest of striped leaves.

As a widely distributed and almost inexhaustible small animal on Lanxing, the forest rat is undoubtedly at the bottom of the food, but in a sense, this also allows them to look at the daily life of some large creatures with a very indifferent attitude of looking at the landscape and scenery, but at this time this forest mouse is in trouble...... A big creature openly stepped on the exit of its lair, although the other party did not feed on it and had no interest in its existence, but even an unintentional step was enough to make the little creature tremble and not dare to take a step out of the nest.

In particular, the other party's constant wheezing sound made the woodrat even more frightened, and after retracting into the nest for a long time, he cautiously poked his head out, and found that the behemoth didn't seem to notice it, so he dared to test it, and saw that the other party had no reaction, and hurriedly jumped out of the nest exit at full speed. The little guy was running at a speed of running for his life, and without looking back, he jumped into the depths of the grass next to him, and disappeared without a trace.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

The behemoth that frightened the little timber was not very large, and the height of about one meter seven was nothing for a larger creature, and when you saw his silhouette, it was obvious that it was a moon prayer, an adult male moon prayer person leaning against the trunk of a tree, with long silver hair scattered behind him.

He was so weak that he was almost sitting on the ground with his back against the trunk of the striped leaf tree, and he could clearly hear his own constant wheezing...... He did his best to suppress the voice, but the panic and powerlessness in his heart made him almost unable to control his body.

Li Yuan didn't know how long he had been on the run, and the movements of the little forest mouse didn't even attract any of his attention, he just looked up in a daze, and below the green leaves at the top, the colorful canopy of the striated leaf tree seemed to be dreamy and beautiful.

Darkness follows you everywhere, not on the outside, but on the inside.

The woods were originally a paradise for the moon prayers, whether it was strong limbs or hands and feet that could be firmly attached to the surface of the tree trunk, they were given the ability to move freely through the forest, and the skin that could change color freely was a natural protective color in the dense forest. However, at this moment, this sunny forest during the day brought a darkness to Liyuan as if night had fallen...... No, it's more terrifying than that, even the real night can't stop the unique visual system of the Moon Prayers, they can make out the scenery through the faintest starlight, but the forest in front of them makes Liyuan feel completely unable to see what terrible danger is hidden behind it, this is a deep fear of the unknown.

"It shouldn't be like this...... Shouldn't this be like this......" With an unconcealable tremor in his tone, Liyuan whispered to himself, his complexion, which had blended in with his surroundings, did not give him any inner security in the slightest, "Shouldn't this hunting operation be easy?" Why did it get to this point......

After all, the woodland is full of dangers, so except for some moon prayers who are responsible for patrols or special tasks, most moon prayers will not go out alone, and Liyuan is naturally no exception, he and the other four moon prayers formed a team of five people before setting off from the settlement together, but at this time, there is no trace of any companions around him, they are not separated...... Li Yuan was very aware of this, and even if he didn't see the final outcome with his own eyes, he was afraid that they would never appear in front of him again.

It was just a joking encounter, it was just a stumble in the middle of a hunt, it was just a companion who suddenly offered to solve the problem in passing...... The consequences were beyond anyone's imagination.

"It's just that it's just a demon, how can it be so terrifying......" Liyuan still can't believe what he has encountered before, the fruits have been greatly reduced due to climate change, and they originally just came out to hunt some animals to alleviate the food crisis, but they happened to encounter a different humanoid creature on the way...... According to the standard of the Moon Prayer People, that is, the cursed monster is a filth thing that should be removed, so I plan to solve it easily.

The so-called demon on Arashi is not a terrible monster in mythology, because of the reason for its formation...... Most of them are relatively weak and powerless, and it is difficult to even support themselves, and a little infrasonic ability like Lonely Cloud is not bad.

It can be said that one-on-one, more than 90% of the demons will be easily killed by the Moon Prayers, even if they don't use any weapons, they can be called the existence of defective species, and even in a sense, they are indeed creatures that should not exist from the beginning, even if they are not killed, most of the demons will not live long before they will die of various organ failure or fatal diseases.

However, the kind of unknown creature that they encountered this time that looked like a demon was completely beyond their imagination, even if they were attacked by them and injured, the other party still easily killed four of them one after another, and Li Yuan had no idea how long he would live at this time...... He knew that he had not escaped the control of the other party by now, and he was completely unable to locate the other party, and he had no idea where the attack would come from.

The hunter and the prey have already invisibly swapped places.

A breeze blew from above, making a large number of colored leaves rustle, but this very normal movement made Li Yuan look up at the canopy in horror, if it was a normal crisis, he would definitely choose to hide in the dense canopy to hide himself, but this time the enemy was more terrifying than expected, it seemed that nothing could escape tracking, he saw with his own eyes that even if a companion hid in a hole in the ground, there was still no news, only the faint smell of blood wafting from it told them what was going on.

"Perhaps, you shouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke him from the beginning......" Li Yuan suddenly had this idea in his heart at this time, but there has never been a regret medicine in this world, everything was already doomed the moment they did it, "This is really asking for trouble......"

Suddenly, a violent feeling of dizziness exploded in his mind without warning, and he didn't even think about it, and quickly threw himself down to the grass on the side, a series of crisp popping sounds behind him, letting him know what would happen if he didn't dodge in time......

Although the existence of the demon is almost well known among the people praying for the moon, it is an insight that has been passed down from generation to generation, in fact, this special existence is extremely rare, and Li Yuan has only seen three in his life, but this demon is definitely the most terrifying demon he has ever seen in his life, and even the most terrifying demon in the records of the tribe, and finally appeared at this moment!

He didn't care about anything else, and his previous experience had taught him that it would be impossible to get out of the other party's tracking range if he just ran away, and no matter how fast you ran and how hidden, it was useless. Perhaps because he was facing a desperate situation, Li Yuan felt that all the hidden muscle power in his body was completely stimulated in all this, he rushed forward like crazy, and directly pounced on the alien race who was only about one meter tall and looked like a child, and then grabbed the other party's arm!

Even if you die, you can't make the other party feel better! This was the thought in Liyuan's heart at this time, he knew that if it was a simple competition for arm muscle strength, this demon would not be his opponent anyway, so hand-to-hand combat might be his only chance to survive!

After being pulled by Liyuan's arm, the other party seemed to be very surprised, and he just struggled with a small force and fell to the ground, and then was firmly held down by Liyuan, but Liyuan seemed to be surprised by his sudden success, so that he was stunned for a moment...... Perhaps it was at this moment that he missed the best opportunity he could have to kill the other party.

An even stronger feeling of dizziness exploded in his mind, even if he held on to this blow with firm willpower, his arm couldn't help but relax a little, and then with a burst of air, a strong feeling of paralysis instantly jumped over the arm muscles, and then he felt that his hands were suddenly bounced away by an irresistible powerful repulsion, and even his entire body was bounced backwards, and he crashed into the trunk behind him in embarrassment.

A faint smell of burning permeated the air, and after the back of his head slammed into the trunk of the tree, Li Yuan felt even more dizzy, and his vision in front of him had blurred, and what made him even more frightened was that he could no longer feel the existence of his hands at all, although his arms were still lying on the ground, but they hung softly as if they were just a pendant on his body, and he couldn't feel its existence at all.

The figure in front of him, who looked like a child, slowly got up from the ground, pulling the other hand with one arm, it seemed that the hand was also a little injured in the frantic pulling of Li Yuan just now, but it was definitely not like him who couldn't feel the existence of the arm at all, at most it was a slight strain.

"Damn...... Difference...... It's almost ......" Liyuan gasped for breath, but it seemed that he couldn't penetrate his lungs at all, and the suffocation feeling of death became stronger and stronger, even if the current Northern Yuan Continent was not very suitable for survival, but most of the Moon Prayer people still died of hunger, and there were still very few Moon Prayer people who were really killed in the wild...... Not to mention the praying moon man who died under the hands of the demon, he tried to see the figure in front of him clearly, but it became more and more blurred, "What...... How can it be ......"

A faint paralyzing sensation spread from front to back on the surface of the skin, this was not the feeling of infrasonic shock of Lonely Yun, but something completely different, Li Yuan knew that the source of all this was the seemingly small figure in front of him, he almost tried his best, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite the enemy in front of him...... Without feeling his arm, this was the only way he could attack.

Naturally, he was not able to bite the other party, but was roughly stuffed into his mouth by some kind of cylindrical stick, almost all the way into his throat, and then suddenly lost his strength......

As if it was a return to the light, at the last moment of his life, the vision in front of Li Yuan finally became clear again for a moment, and he saw the eyes of the demon, which were not the crescent-shaped silver eyes of the moon prayer man, but a pair of eyes as bright as sapphires, and the other party was also looking at him at this time, and the expression in his eyes was ...... Fun and amazing?

Li Yuan grinned as he looked at the creature in front of him, revealing two small slender fangs in his mouth, and his traumatized body finally fell to the ground weakly, and only one last thought flashed through his mind, and his consciousness fell into boundless darkness.

That's not a demon...... Definitely not......
