Chapter 42 The Fight Begins
Since kind advice doesn't work, then just take action!

Even though Xiao Xiao had some concerns about this human-shemale pair, he was not afraid.

Xiao Xiao did not cover up the sound of his footsteps.

"Tower~Tower~"

Xiao Xiao walked faster and faster, and finally even ran.

After turning a corner, Xiao Xiao suddenly stopped.

In the dim environment, Yang Yi put his hands in his pockets, leaning lazily against the wall. The branches extending diagonally above him cast mottled shadows, making it even harder to see his expression.

However, it was obvious that the aura he exuded was relaxed and carefree, without any sense of tension at all, and it seemed that he did not take the blood on the side seriously at all.

Xiao Xiao just glanced at Yang Yi and then fixed his gaze on the Gu Diao.

The Gu Diao was eating with its back to him.

Xiao Xiao couldn't see the specific situation, but he could clearly hear the sound of the Gu Diao chewing and swallowing.

It's just creepy.

Xiao Xiao felt as if his scalp was exploding, the smell of blood in his nose was so strong that it was sickening, and the sound in his ears was like a huge hammer hitting his eardrums again and again, making his brain buzz.

His good eyesight even allowed him to see the two legs sticking out from in front of the Gu Diao.

He wore gray jeans that were too big for him, and no socks on his feet. His exposed ankles were shriveled as if they had lost all the blood. On his feet were a pair of worn-out sneakers that hung loosely. The laces on his right shoe had come loose, and as the Gu Diao ate, it bounced back and forth, as if it would fall off in the next second.

This should be a homeless person. He might have thought that he would eventually die of freezing, starvation, illness, or even a car accident, but he would never have thought of the situation at this moment.

A monster was feasting on his body, it was gnawing on his bones, it was drinking his blood.

Even if he was eaten up by the monster, no one would notice his disappearance in the end.

I just thought he had wandered off to some place again.

……

Xiao Xiao tightly grasped the demon mirror in his hand.

Yes, for some reason, Xiao Xiao took the Demon Mirror as well. It was obvious that even if he wanted to summon a monster, he didn't need the physical body of the Demon Mirror.

Thick blood, strong smell of blood, Xiao Xiao could even hear the gurgling sound of blood flowing through his throat. He swallowed human blood in big gulps, greedily and unsatisfiedly.

The slight sound of bones breaking seemed to be infinitely amplified in this silent and narrow space. The sharp teeth crushed the hard bones effortlessly, and the crisp sound revealed a bit of the eater's light-hearted mood.

The Gu Diao looked lazy and relaxed while eating, and did not seem to pose any threat.

However, from the moment Xiao Xiao stepped into this space, the alarm in his heart never stopped, making him dare not act rashly.

He clearly felt that the Gu Diao had become stronger.

It seems that by eating humans, his strength is gradually increasing.

No, maybe I'm recovering gradually.

A cold light flashed across Xiao Xiao's eyes. He could not delay any longer. The Gu Diao was becoming more and more powerful. Even its body was two or three points larger than when he had seen it before. The feathers all over its body seemed to be cast in steel, flashing a cold light.

In front of Xiao Xiao's eyes, the shadow of the Demon Mirror became clearer and clearer, and the pages of the book moved without wind, making a "swish~swish~swish" sound.

In the dark and gloomy space, a duck with a body as red as fire suddenly appeared, as if lighting up this world.

"Li~" The clear and bright cry covered up the sound of the Gu Diao eating, and it seemed that even the flow of air became smoother.

...Yang Yi suddenly stood up, and his face, which appeared from the shadows, was full of shock.

The moment the duck appeared, the Gu Diao seemed unaware and continued eating. It had already eaten to the homeless man's waist, "crunch~crunch~".

It ate fairly quickly, but it also didn't swallow the food whole. The deliciousness of human flesh has always been a favorite of monsters.

But later, the clear cry of the duck obviously disturbed the Gu Diao.

The Gu Diao paused for a moment, then swallowed the last two remaining legs into its mouth without even chewing them, even swallowing the shoes together.

Afterwards, the Gu Diao finally turned around, and a hint of violence flashed across its scarlet eyes, obviously unhappy about being disturbed while eating.

"What kind of monster is this?" Yang Yi finally came back to his senses and looked at the duck flying beside Xiao Xiao with a hint of covetousness in his eyes.

Covet? Xiao Xiao was somewhat surprised and somewhat amused. He thought he would see other emotions, such as surprise, but he never expected it to be covetousness.

Xiao Xiao blinked his eyes, almost wondering if he had seen it wrong.

But Yang Yi did not hide his covetousness at all, he just stared at Eel openly.

Xiao Xiao's silence made Yang Yi's expression darken, and a hint of displeasure appeared between his brows. But he soon raised his eyes and smiled a little.

"The sickle, I want it."

……

Is it really okay to be so blatant? Xiao Xiao was simply stunned, and then he laughed a little.

Besides, why does he think that the Gu Diao can definitely defeat the Wuya?

Well, he admitted that judging from its appearance alone, the eerie and gloomy Gu Diao did seem more dangerous, while the duck with gorgeous feathers looked harmless and fragile.

Moreover, in terms of body shape, the Gu Diao is a whole circle larger than the Eurasian Duck.

However, our predecessors have used countless lessons learned with blood and tears to tell future generations that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Similarly, one should not judge a monster by its appearance, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The Gu Diao is very powerful, the kind of power that is obvious to anyone with eyesight.

However, Xiao Xiao had a vague feeling that perhaps the Gu Diao in its heyday would give Wan Ya some headaches, but the current Gu Diao was no match for Wan Ya.

……

"Tsk~" Hearing the human's fantastic and ridiculous words, Egret snorted with extreme disdain, not even glancing at Yang Yi.

It is not afraid of the Gu Diao in its prime, let alone a Gu Diao that is seriously injured and has not recovered?

Perhaps it was the arrogance and contempt in the eel's eyes that stimulated the Gu Diao. Even though it knew the danger of the other party, the Gu Diao, who had always been arrogant and became even more irritable because of the injury, immediately got angry.

"Jie~" The Gu Eagle let out a sharp roar, flapped its wings and swooped down towards the crane. A sharp cold light flashed across the edge of its dark wings. Its huge body had an overwhelming power, and it seemed that the entire space was under its control, and it could decide the life and death of the crane.

Facing the fierce attack of the Gu Diao, the eagle did not move, as if it was frightened silly. Yang Yi showed a smug smile on his face, but Xiao Xiao was not panicked at all.

Just as the huge and sharp claws of the Gu Diao were about to scratch the soft belly of the duck, a sharp light flashed in the duck's eyes, and its long and gorgeous tail feathers lashed towards the Gu Diao with lightning speed.

The sound of breaking through the air just sounded, and the next moment, the Gu Diao was blown away.

The sudden turn of events caused the smile on Yang Yi's face to freeze before it could fully bloom.

Xiao Xiao smiled.
