Chapter 369: The Demon Clan (2)

Pinned to the ground by the monster, that person was still alive, but barely. His arms and legs were all twisted at strange angles, broken bones protruding out from open flesh.

The person’s body twitched and bloody foam oozed out of the corners of his mouth as the monster used its razor-like claws to dig out his innards from his gaping abdomen.

The monster’s sharp teeth were like blades—the sound of it chewing on guts was hair-raising.

The face of the onlooking youth was ghastly white and he was trembling non-stop. However, his exceedingly slender legs were completely immobile, being dragged along behind his body like dead-weights.

Ji Fengyan witnessed all that with her own eyes, this gory scene straight from hell.

Suddenly, Junze appeared behind Ji Fengyan. “It’s a demon.”

It stunned Ji Fengyan. Since her rebirth, she had heard others speak of the demon clan countless times. Terminators also exist solely because of them.

However, Ji Fengyan only realized at this very moment what those greatly feared demons actually looked like.

“This thing is called a scarlet monkey, one of the demon clan species. Not only are they viciously aggressive, they are also one of the few demon species that can take the shape of humans. Scarlet monkeys love to eat human meat and are strong as oxes… to have met with one… these two were really…” Junze’s eyes narrowed, his pupils reflecting the scarlet monkey’s back profile.

The scarlet monkey’s muscular arms were obscured by its long fur. Throwing aside some chewed off bones with scraps of flesh still dangling, it continued to use its sharp claws to tear off chunks of meat from the still-breathing man, before shoving the flesh into its mouth.

Already one of the more challenging demons to handle, this scarlet monkey was also a fully grown one. Able to feast on human flesh right under the nose of the capital institute, it was likely even more powerful than your usual scarlet monkey.

Having had his guts cleaned out by the scarlet monkey, the man finally took his last breath. With no interest in eating the flesh of corpses, the demon raised its blood-soaked head and turned beady, black eyes toward the other youth collapsed nearby.

Quaking with fear, the youth struggled to stand but his legs refused to budge.

“This is bad. This scarlet monkey only eats innards. It will attack that youth,” Junze said in a low voice. Before there was any time to react, a black shadow whizzed from his side!

The scarlet monkey’s face was full of gluttony as it reached out to the youth with its claws. However, just as it was preparing to continue its feast, a flash of light streaked by!

A loud clanging sound rang out!

Impaled straight into the ground was a heavy sword.

Sensing danger, the scarlet monkey had already fled to a nearby tree branch the moment the sword landed.

A figure suddenly appeared at the slaughter scene. With one small, white hand grasping the hilt of the sword, the figure stood protectively in front of that trapped youth.

The fallen youth looked in amazement at the abrupt appearance of this person, desperate hope rose in his despairing heart.

“Save me! Save me…” The youth pleaded with all the energy he had left.

Ji Fengyan glanced at him, the smile on her face imparting a sense of security to that terrified youth…
