After a few days, it was time to pay the human tax.

"Your Excellency. Here is this year's people tax. We have a total of ten people in Liujiazhuang, all of whom are here. The village chief counted the people one by one according to the roster, and said with a hunched back.

There was a large group of people lying on the ground, all with solemn expressions, and they didn't dare to say a word.

The one who came to collect taxes was a demon soldier, in the late stage of Qi training, with a huge tiger head and an ugly face. It is three feet tall, a lot taller than the average human race. The limbs are well-developed, the muscles are strong, and the lumps are bulging like hills. Wearing a pair of standard rattan armor, there is a big ancient character "rat" printed on his chest, and it is covered with black filth. From time to time, fleas, bed bugs, moles, etc. burrow through its vigorous yellow hair.

At this time, he squinted his eyes, took a closer look, and said angrily: "Nonsense! There are obviously only nine people here!"

The sound was like a flood of bells, and the clatter was like a rushing stream, and the village chief next to him was so frightened that he retreated several steps one after another!

He had a chill on his back, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with his eyes empty, he buried his head in the inventory again, and replied seriously: "Lord Hu, this is really ten people, don't you believe you count?"

The tiger demon was originally reaching out and stroking the mane on his chest, with a smiling expression. Hearing this, he waved his hand violently, took out the Changge behind him, and snorted coldly. Before everyone could come back to their senses, they raised it and swept it horizontally, making a golden sound, turning into a cold light and hitting the flagpole at the village gate.

The flag engraved with the word "willow" collapsed with a bang, smashing the door panel.

If it weren't for the village chief's cleverness, he hid to the side for a while, and fell to the ground in a panic, just afraid that he would be pulled out of a bloody hole by the spirit blade on the spot.

The tiger demon held the quaint Changge high, and with the kneeling people, he came one by one in a hurry.

"One, two, three......"

"Four, Five, Six......"

"Seven, eight, nine......"

When he arrived in the third group, he Changge was a little light, and he actually skipped one person and counted directly to the next one. After picking a circle like this, he turned around and said to the village chief, "Look, are there only nine people?"

The vicious and provocative gaze is undoubtedly revealed.

Everyone frowned, their hearts were shocked, they all bowed their heads, and they dared not speak out. At this time, no matter how big the emotions are, the monstrous grievances must be restrained, and it is better to distort the buried face and let the tears flow silently, than to make a little sound.

At this time, the village chief did not understand how to do it, so he immediately got up and stepped forward, clutched the roster in his hand, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Sure enough, there were only nine people." It's old and confused—I'll arrange for it to make up for the missing taxes. ”

"The child can be taught!heyhehehe!" The tiger demon laughed angrily, nodded slightly, and motioned the village chief to do the same. Then he shook his body, found a stone bench behind him, sat down, and waited for the head to be added with a swagger.

...........................

When he walked out of the village, the demon cloud that had been waiting outside for a long time was already densely packed with people. These people come from various nearby villages, and all of them are in tattered clothes, and they look very poor.

At this moment, it is even more miserable.

But the louder and stronger the voice, the more comfortable the Tiger Demon Xiu felt and the more he smiled.

A little tiger that had not yet been enlightened came out from behind the demon cloud, with a huge king character on its forehead, and its hair was golden and very cute. When it saw the tiger demon, it had an anthropomorphic smile on its face, and immediately jumped up and rushed up.

"Son, come to Daddy's place. With a full bosom in his arms, the tiger demon suddenly became overjoyed, touched the other party's little head, and laughed softly, "Wait a long time." It's really good, I didn't run around, and I kept these taxes well. Daddy is rewarding!"

He turned his head and glanced at the "ten" people tax he had just collected, and he was not in a hurry to throw it on the demon cloud, but stretched out his huge tiger claws, grabbed it fiercely, and sucked Liu Qing, who finally volunteered to replace the tenth person, into his hand.

The palm of his hand was held on the opponent's thin right arm.

"You...... What are you going to do!" Liu Qing felt the huge force on this arm, and was clamped by the other party, and his whole person was as thin as a hairless monkey, and he was restless, grinning and screaming on the spot.

In the face of Liu Qing's desperate struggle, the tiger demon laughed instead: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you say I'm going to do! You kid is my private goods, understand?"

Then another paw was placed on Liu Qing's waist.

Collapse and collapse!

Pull both hands together and pull them apart to the sides.

All the bones of the young Liu Qing's right hand and arm were torn in pain, and the shoulder joints made a creaking sound, which was suddenly broken by the huge force, and his vision suddenly turned into pitch black, making his soul throb and fall into a state of near death.

But from beginning to end, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Because he believed that the great hero Han Lin must be nearby, secretly observing, and when the time comes, he will appear and protect him!

This is also the reason why he dared to stand up and act as the tenth man.

"How daring. Can you bear it......"

The tiger demon laughed twice, the yellow light flashed on his hand, and his fingers twisted together.

Liu Qing's entire right arm was twisted off.

At the same time, the demon spirit power released by the tiger demon instantly filled the fracture, stopping the blood that was about to erupt.

"Ah——!" Seeing that his arm was completely taken off by the other party, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, let out a terrible howl, and cried to tears.

The bleeding was stopped, but the sharp pain at the fracture, the swelling was unbearable, and it penetrated deep into the bone marrow, making him struggle and convulse violently in the claws of the tiger demon.

This tragic scene frightened the willow cat who was looking at Liu Qing with a disillusioned face. His face was pale, his limbs were cold, he was sweating all over, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"Am I going to be dismembered like this? No, no, no! It's horrible...... I've got to find a way to get out!"

Suddenly, all fears were thrown out of his mind.

He quickly surveyed his surroundings.

The tiger demon stretched out his palm, threw the crippled Liu Qing onto the demon cloud, and injected a string of spiritual energy into his body: "Hmph." You're so hard, then I can't let you pass out. Otherwise, if you pass out for a while, the meat will not taste good. I'll let you know what cruelty is—baby, come, eat the meat! Fresh! look!"

When the little tiger heard this, he whined several times, jumped up on his legs, and bit the arm in the tiger demon's hand.

Liu Qing lost all his strength, paralyzed on the demon cloud, his mind was washed by the spiritual power injected by the other party, and his mind was extremely clear.

He watched in despair as his arm was being eaten by the monster.

A little bit......

Fingers, palms, arms.

The scar on the palm of his hand is clearly visible, which he accidentally scratched with an axe. It was so badly injured that it left such deep scars.

At the same time, a voice kept questioning him:

"What about the heroes?

"Why didn't he save me?"

"My hand! That's my hand!"

No matter what he expected, he was destined to be disappointed - until his arm was completely eaten by the little tiger, and the other party was still licking his tongue unsatisfied, and Han Lin did not appear.

He opened his mouth to say something. But in the end, the words reached his throat, and he swallowed it forcibly.

To say it means that there is no hope at all......

The sky suddenly turned as dark as a demon cloud. A full moon that appeared at an unknown time hung high above his head, casting the white moon frost and shining on Liu Qing's face.

Tick.

Tick.

Mixed with the tears on Liu Qing's face, it actually rained in the sky at this time.
