Chapter 43 Gu Diao vs Duck
The Gu Diao was a little dazed. The severe pain in its body made its eyes suddenly turn red. Its already scarlet pupils became even darker, almost black, the result of layers of blood color overlapping each other.

The Gu Diao's aura suddenly became violent, and it was obviously furious.

The duck swung its long tail. Instead of hanging it behind its back like it did at the beginning, it stood it up in front of its body, with the tip of its tail pointing directly at the Gu Diao.

……

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a wound about ten centimeters long on the side of the Gu Diao. Judging from the amount of blood flowing out, the wound was probably quite deep.

The smell of blood and demonic energy in the air became stronger, giving off a greasy, sticky feeling and a bone-chilling coldness. The alley, which originally still had a ray of light coming in, became increasingly darker.

Xiao Xiao looked up and saw layer upon layer of gloomy clouds, so dense that it covered the whole world.

There is an illusion that this space is divided and isolated.

No sound from the outside world could be heard, and even the sight was blocked by the clouds, making it impossible to see the distant sky.

……

"Jie~jie~" the Gu Diao screamed towards the sky, and the sharp and piercing sound waves spread out in circles. The stone powder and stones on the surrounding stone walls fell down, and there were also traces as if they were cut by a sharp blade, crisscrossing and deep, hideous and deep.

The leaves and branches sticking out from the wall exploded and scattered in the air.

Yang Yi's eyes had turned blood red at some point, his eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged out from his forehead, and there were traces of blood on his cheeks. The bright red blood slowly flowed down his cheeks, gathered at his chin, and finally dripped onto the ground with a "plop".

Yang Yi clenched his fists, his face was grim, and his face was covered in blood. It was really hard to look at.

Xiao Xiao was also caught off guard by the Gu Diao's sudden attack at first, and he was in a state of panic. His headache had not fully healed, and after being hit by the Gu Diao, Xiao Xiao wanted to die.

The pain was so intense that Xiao Xiao bit his lower lip, and his mouth was filled with a taste of rust.

His face was frighteningly paler, with large beads of sweat appearing from his forehead and sliding down, like a stream winding down Xiao Xiao's cheeks.

Just when Xiao Xiao's vision went dark due to the pain, the palm of his right hand felt warm. The sudden temperature made Xiao Xiao's nerves jump subconsciously even though he was in so much pain that he was a little unconscious.

what happened?

Xiao Xiao blinked hard, making his vision, which was blurry due to sweat, clearer a little. His gaze moved downward and his hand rose unconsciously.

It's a demon mirror.

A thread of warm current seeps into the body, flowing along the blood meridians, straight up to the brain's sea of ​​consciousness.

The warmth entered his messy brain, emitting a hint of cool air, instantly relieving Xiao Xiao's headache. His heavy brain was cleared, and he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan softly.

The sharp contrast between the before and after made Xiao Xiao a little confused.

Xiao Xiao blinked slowly, breathing cautiously, and found that his headache was really much better. It wasn't completely gone, but he was no longer affected by the Gu Diao's sonic attack.

Compared with the severe pain before, the pain now is just a gentle breeze and drizzle.

Xiao Xiao said that this pain was not enough.

If he continued like this, Xiao Xiao felt that his nerves would one day be as hard as steel.

Xiao Xiao pinched the demon mirror in his hand and once again thanked himself for his foresight. Could it be that he also had the so-called intuition or premonition?
"Bang!" A huge impact sound broke Xiao Xiao's somewhat scattered thoughts. Xiao Xiao looked up and found that the Gu Diao was once again pulled out by the eel and hit the wall heavily. The mottled stone wall collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The duck was perched on a high branch, and the seemingly fragile branch did not shake at all. You should know that even if the duck was not as huge as the Gu Diao, it was still several times larger than an adult falcon.

With such a weight, he can lift things so easily, just like a martial arts master with outstanding lightness skills. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but his eyes sparkle.

The look in the duck's eyes was always one of arrogance and contempt, and its high position added to its awe-inspiring aura. After the fight, the Gu Eagle was in a state of disgrace, but the duck's feathers were just a little messy.

The strength of the two monsters is clearly distinguished.

……

This time it might have been really badly fallen. The Gu Diao was buried behind the rocks and did not move for a long time. It did not immediately flap its wings and fight back fiercely like before.

"Sickle?" Yang Yi walked to the collapsed stone wall and called out tentatively. His blood-stained face looked gloomy and his eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was not in a very happy mood.

But when he was in a bad mood, Xiao Xiao's mood became better.

Even if he had to spend more time to recover his severely exhausted mind afterwards, he felt it was worth it.

Whether it was the Gu Diao's cannibalism or Yang Yi's feeding humans to monsters, in his opinion, they were both unscrupulous acts.

Especially Yang Yi, who is even more unforgivable.

Gu Diao is a demon. Demons eat humans, perhaps just like humans eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, out of necessity for survival. The conflict between humans and demons has nothing to do with right or wrong, but is an inevitable choice for survival under the natural selection.

From the perspective of monsters, cannibalism can be said to be nothing wrong.

But Yang Yi is not a monster, he is a human, one of the humans that the monster wants to eat.

Not only did he not stop the monster from eating people, he even helped it.

Why? Xiao Xiao could probably guess.

It's nothing more than the word "interest".

In Xiao Xiao's opinion, the most likely thing that Gu Diao promised to give Yang Yi was a power that surpassed that of ordinary people. This could be seen from the previous basketball game.

Moreover, Yang Yi was not satisfied. Before he completely obtained the power of the Gu Diao, he even had his eyes on the eel!
Greed is indeed the greatest original sin of mankind.

……

Xiao Xiao felt a little regretful. It was a rare opportunity to meet someone who could also see monsters, but he actually had such a distorted outlook on life?

Before, Wu Ya could only see it occasionally, but Yang Yi obviously saw more.

Xiao Xiao was originally very happy to meet someone who shared the same suffering as him. Even if they didn't know each other or were not familiar with each other, it was undoubtedly a comforting thing to know that there was someone like him around.

Unfortunately, the other party obviously doesn't think so.

After knowing that Xiao Xiao could also see the Gu Diao, Xiao Xiao could clearly see the jealousy and resentment that flashed across Yang Yi's eyes.

At that time, Xiao Xiao understood that he was not welcome, and even vaguely felt the other party's disgust and even... murderous intent towards him.

He is just a student, how could he be so violent?
So even if it is discovered now that he helps the Gu Diao eat humans, it doesn't seem so unbelievable.

He had done some research on Yang Yi. At least from the information he found, Yang Yi was a perfect example of a winner in life. How could he be so dangerous? It didn't make sense.

Is it true that some perversions are born that way?
Xiao Xiao didn't know, maybe Yang Yi had an unknown past that led to his hidden dark personality.

But these are none of Xiao Xiao’s business. All he needs to do is stop the Gu Diao from eating.
