Text Chapter 509 Silent Ridge
In the middle of the night, in the pine forest, which was usually quiet, a heavy rain suddenly fell, swaying the pine needles from side to side, and the ground became muddy. Not far away, there was the sound of rumbling water, and the babbling stream that used to be a normal day has long since turned into a waterfall.
Deep in the woods, there was a clearing on which stood an old wooden house, the walls of which were covered with green vines, and some even climbed all the way to the roof.
The room was lit by firelight, and a long shadow swayed gently on the walls. I saw that next to the fire, there was an old figure of Long Zhong, with slender cheeks, a somewhat prominent mouth, wearing a thick black coat, holding his hands on his chest, wrapping his whole body, as if he felt a little cold, but he did not wear shoes on his feet.
His eyes glazed over, staring blankly at the fire in front of him.
His name is Inu-Demon, and he is the owner of this house.
When he was young, the dog demon also used to wander outside, but unfortunately the world was difficult and he did not make a name for himself, so he decided to live in seclusion in the deep mountains. It is said that he is in seclusion, but he has not completely cut off contact with the outside world, and occasionally on a whim, he will go to towns hundreds of miles away to buy some human flesh and come back to taste it.
He doesn't have much savings, he can only buy a little at a time, and it's not the best human flesh, but at least he can satisfy his cravings. Many of the nearby youkai have seen him, but they are only nodding friends, and no one will come to visit him in such a place.
Inumo hates rain, and when this happens, he feels depressed, unable to lift his energy, and can't even sleep.
Suddenly, the numb old face of the dog demon showed a hint of discoloration. He pricked up his ears, and faintly, heard a footstep, coming this way.
Although he was old, his hearing was still excellent, even if it was raining heavily outside, he could not hide the slight footsteps, and even the sound of splashing muddy water hitting the weeds, he could hear it clearly.
"Who is it?" the dog demon became vigilant, "who will come over at this time?"
On weekdays, the sky is clear, and there is not even a ghost shadow outside, but at this time, the heavy rain is majestic, and it is late at night, and it is really unusual for someone to appear.
"Hope is just passing through. "The dog demon is not afraid, just too lazy to bother.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the footsteps still stopped in front of the wooden house.
"Tuk Tuk!"
There was a knock on the door.
The dog demon didn't make a sound, hoping that the man would be interested and get out of here.
"Tuk Tuk!"
The person knocking on the door seemed to be quite stubborn.
The dog demon frowned and said coldly, "Who?"
"Dude, it's raining heavily outside, so I'll take shelter from the rain, please open the door. A rough, deep voice came from outside, like a wild beast gasping.
"The humble house is simple, it is not convenient to pick up customers, you go elsewhere. The dog demon relaxed slightly. It's just a shelter from the rain, but it's a false alarm.
