Chapter 33: The Monster and the Little Boy
The imperial palace of the state of Chen, in the center of the capital, has a history of hundreds of years.
The palace covers an area of twenty hectares, wide and wide, long and large.
In the palace, magnificent, carved beams and paintings, the dragon is self-generated, I don't know how much effort it took to be a skilled craftsman.
According to the historical records of the Chen State, the Chen State did not have a capital but built a palace, but after the palace was built, there was today's capital.
The huge and prosperous capital of Chen Guo, hundreds of years ago, was just a deserted village and wild town, and it was with the palace of the Chen Guohuang clan that there was the luck at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there was the prosperity of today's business and travel envoys.
At this moment, in the palatial palace, in a hidden residence.
The little emperor had a gloomy face, and in the basement of Hessesen, he looked coldly at the monster in the dark.
"Roar—"
It roared and roared, and lay on the ground like a beast, and between the flicking of its tail, there were gusts of wind that whipped the walls of the dark chamber, and deep cracks like knives and axes appeared.
The monster was locked in a cage, but now, this cage was completely useless for it.
With a flick of its claws, it could easily tear apart this cage made of fine iron, which even innate masters could not escape, and crumpled it into an iron ball.
This cage can't trap it at all.
It's only here now because it's where it's lived since it was a child, and it's made it home.
The fine iron fence, in its eyes, is just an ornament, and it can walk as soon as it wants.
"Your Majesty, be careful. ”
A loyal old eunuch held the little emperor and persuaded him uneasily.
That beast is too ferocious, if it starts to go crazy again and hurts the emperor, what kind of mistake does the emperor have, and they, a group of eunuchs who rely on imperial power to be high, don't know what to do!
The old eunuch served the little emperor with all his heart, and finally waited for him to sit firmly in the country, if he was gone, once the son of heaven and a courtier, they were eunuchs who offended many people in and outside the palace, and they would have to end up with a desolate and tragic death.
"I don't need your help. ”
The little emperor did not listen to the persuasion at all, pushed away the old eunuch's hand, waved, ignored the old eunuch's words, and stepped forward again, and the monster was only a dozen steps away.
In front of him, there was a huge monster, a man nearly seven feet tall from the little emperor, standing in front of him, but only as tall as it was lying on the ground.
If it had stood up, it would have been as tall as a small two- or three-story building.
And such a behemoth, more than half a year ago, was just a small beast the size of a palm.
At that time, it was held in its own hands, sucking its paws, looking cute and pitiful.
As long as the little emperor's palm is gently pinched, it will be crushed to pieces, as simple and easy as pinching a little milk cat to death.
But the little emperor didn't do that, he raised it.
Half a year has passed, and this monster who grew up eating children's flesh is getting bigger and bigger day by day, more fierce day by day, and his strength is getting stronger day by day.
It was completely out of his control, and now if it wanted to make a move, I was afraid that even Chen Guo's supreme grandmaster would not be able to stop it.
However, even though this monster has such great power, even if this monster can slap it into meat sauce with a single claw, it is still not afraid.
As an emperor, he understands people's hearts too well, even if they are beasts, they are just that.
As long as there is desire, you can control it.
This monster just wants food, but the children who can be seen everywhere in his Chen country.
Chen Guo has a population of 100 million, and if you eat a few children, what is it, 365 days a year, but 365 children, and the number of children born in Chen Guo in one day is more than that.
"Roar—roar—"
The monster let out a terrifying roar, which frightened the old eunuch behind the little emperor and his legs trembled.
If the old eunuch hadn't known that this monster only liked to eat the fine skin and tender flesh of children of four, five, six, seven, or eight years old, and didn't like to eat his old bones, he would have been so frightened that he would sit down on the spot.
The little emperor was not afraid at all.
Although he was crumbling from the monster's snort, he gripped the fence and managed to get himself on his feet.
"Dead guard, grab me the food. ”
The little emperor hooked his hand, and the dead guard on the side tied up a little child.
This monster is hungry.
It needs food.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Dressed in black and wearing a black mask, the Death Guard immediately dragged a seven or eight-year-old child into the basement, tied him up, threw him into the cage where the monster was, and threw him in front of it.
The moment the dead guard closed the cage door, he specially untied the little boy and woke him up.
Beasts always like the feeling that their prey is struggling in front of them, but after all, they can't escape their palms, and can only be eaten alive by themselves in the end.
By doing so, the Dead Guard would not have escaped the palace to hunt children like it had done last time.
That incident made the people in the capital panic, and it took a lot of effort for the old eunuch to reluctantly suppress it.
"Hmmm......"
This unfortunate child woke up in a dark place, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark room.
He thought he was just having a nightmare.
He dreamed that he had been taken by a group of men in black and locked up in a room with other children.
The house was beautiful, and there were new and different children coming in every day, but there were also familiar children being taken out. Some say they were sold, others say they died.
He was very scared, scared to the extreme, and prayed to God every day and night, begging him to behave well, let him let him go, let him return to his mother's side, and he would not be naughty anymore.
But prayer was useless, and the day when it was his turn finally came.
He had just dreamed that the men in black had tied him up, knocked him unconscious, and carried him out of that beautiful room.
"A-Niang, where are you, Rong'er is afraid!"
The little boy's hands waved weakly in the darkness, and he wanted to grab his mother's hand, to hear his mother's words of comfort.
But what was waiting for him was not Ah Niang's warm hands, nor Ah Niang's soft voice.
It's the roar of the beast and its great claws.
"Roar—"
The monster in the shadows, seeing the food coming to the door, stood up from the ground and stared at him without blinking at the eyes that were as big as lanterns.
"Wow, youkai!
When the little boy saw the monster, he was so frightened that he hurried back.
"Let it go...... Let me out. ”
He came to the fence, held out his hand, and shouted at the people outside the cage.
But the old eunuch was indifferent, those black-clothed dead guards with masks couldn't see their expressions clearly, and the little emperor in the dragon robe had his eyes full of madness and joy.
No matter how much he sees the struggle of those who are about to die, he can't see enough.
The monster stretched out its claws, and the sharp claws caught the little boy's clothes, and the claws gently grabbed him back.
"Go away, you go away, I'm going home. ”
The little boy was pressed to the ground by the monster's claws.
He kept resisting, he kept struggling, his hands kept hammering the monster's claws, but for the monster, it was just an itch, and he didn't feel the slightest pain.
Its head leaned over and sniffed the little boy's scent.
Tastes good.
Maybe it's hungry, maybe it's not in the mood today, and it doesn't want to be a mouse, so it doesn't do anything superfluous.
"Roar—"
It opened its bloody jaw, revealing its large, sharp fangs, and in a single bite, it bit down on the little boy's head.
I only heard the sound of "poof-", and the head, which was still attached to the little boy's neck, was bitten off by this monster.
The corpse separated, and the monster chewed the little boy's head like a sugar gourd.
The little boy's body, headless, collapsed weakly, and blood was constantly spurting out of his neck.
The entire dark room, for a while, was filled with a strong smell of blood.
