The Infant Devoured Alive (Bonus Chapter)
Ai Jiangtu continued, "Since we're a clan, let's not do anything so risky. If a Commander Level being appears, someone here will die."
Nan Jue didn't disagree with Ai Jiangtu's statement.
Furthermore, she also felt that her earlier thought had been somewhat rash...
Upon arriving at the Rock Island, the group disembarked from the ship.
As its name suggests, the island has nothing but rocks.
The island is relatively spacious, but it would take a normal person at most one or two hours to walk around it.
There were also many miscellaneous items on the Rock Island: tattered tents, torn clothes, medicine boxes, and the like, which were probably left behind by the team that came to exterminate the demon last time.
Jiang Yu was extremely observant and quickly discovered a mark on the rock. He immediately said, "Look at this claw mark! The claws of this kind of Sea Monster must be at least this long!"
Ai Jiangtu asked, "Can you identify what kind of Sea Monster it is?"
Jiang Yu nodded and said with certainty, "Three-clawed, reddish-brown—this kind of Sea Monster is actually quite rare, at least not in our Demon Beast books. But I guess it should be the Crimson Ling Demon!"
Mu Tingying, with her brown hair, said, "We've never heard of the Crimson Ling Demon before. Before we fight them, we'd better figure out what abilities they have and what deadly tricks their higher forms possess."
Although this woman was utterly jealous, what she said wasn't wrong at all.
Jiang Yu explained, "To be honest, it's not easy to find information about these Sea Monster online. As for their specific abilities, we can only rely on the information Lin Junxian gave us. In short, we can confirm one thing: they are not highly venomous, but their claws are extremely sharp..."
After Jiang Yu's analysis, the group gained a general understanding.
Just after he finished explaining, he saw a crimson monster, three or four meters tall, leap out from the high rock.
This creature possesses a pair of enormous, powerful legs, and its waist is covered with strange, sharp-looking ringed fins. Its forelimbs are slender and long, with three claws that are as sharp and terrifying as three barbed daggers!
Jiang Yu was also stunned for a moment. He had just finished speaking when an adult appeared. He hurriedly said, "Then... the one standing up there is an adult!"
As Jiang Yu finished speaking, several more large Crimson Ling Demon appeared.
They were tall and strong, entirely red, with flapping fins and protruding eyes staring intently down at the intruders!
The Great Crimson Ling Demon's waist fins throbbed, and it opened its fish-shaped mouth, then began to attack the group.
"Their auras are very strong." Nan Jue frowned.
If any one of them encountered a dozen or so Servant Level creatures, they could easily take down most of them with a single spell, so there was nothing to fear.
However, they clearly misunderstood a very important thing... The Crimson Ling Demon are not Servant Level creatures; when they grow up, they are at the level of warriors!
Liu Meng, who came with them, was just an ordinary fisherman. He had never seen a real Sea Monster before. No matter how ferocious the villagers described it, it was not as terrifying as this row of monsters standing in front of you.
The Demon Beast aura of General Level being was already strong, and it was extremely lethal to ordinary people. Liu Meng was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, covered in cold sweat!
Tang Miao didn't react much to the sudden appearance of the dozen or so Crimson Ling Demon. After all, he could kill as many of them as he wanted with a single lightning strike.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Because Guan Yu, who wanted to show off, had already made his move.
Furthermore, he killed one very quickly!
The others also displayed their unique abilities and began to deal with these General Level Demon Beast.
Demons and Demon Beast might be fatal to ordinary Intermediate Mage. However, those selected for the National Team naturally possess considerable strength!
In just a few minutes, these Crimson Ling Demons were dealt with. One of them tried to escape, but Ai Jiangtu caught it.
Crimson Ling Demon landed on his back, Ai Jiangtu clenched his five fingers tightly and pulled back hard.
This Crimson Ling Demon had no chance to fight back. It was dragged fifty or sixty meters by Ai Jiangtu's power of void, and was already pulled in front of Ai Jiangtu.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Tang Miao showed no intention of making a move. Of course, in their view, Tang Miao probably specialized in Summoning Element and had no other skills available, which is why he didn't intervene until the very end.
Enraged, Crimson Ling Demon broke free from the invisible hand and immediately scrambled to his feet, lunging at Ai Jiangtu with ferocious ferocity.
The Crimson Ling Demon has an extremely strong jumping ability, and when it pounces, it is incredibly powerful. Once its claws form a scissor-like shape, it can easily sever a person's head.
Ai Jiangtu remained unfazed, casually pushing forward with just one hand!
Crimson Ling Demon's body suddenly froze during the pounce, and the next second he was sent flying backward.
Crimson Ling Demon was thrown backwards to the rock face, his strong body pressed down there by an invisible force, looking as if he were nailed to the stone wall.
Ai Jiangtu's hand gleamed with a deep silver light. If this light hadn't faded, the Crimson Ling Demon would have been pinned to the rock face in a "T" shape.
Ai Jiangtu's strength, excluding Tang Miao, is such that he can easily take on the entire group single-handedly. His mental strength is even comparable to Tang Miao's, though of course, he would be no match for him in a direct fight.
However, among the people in China who know him so far, his talent is already top-notch, and his strength is among the best of the younger generation.
Previously, the Crimson Ling Demon was cut by a wind blade, and this blow not only opened a large gash that bled continuously, but also revealed a small leg at the tear site, seemingly having accidentally slipped out of the Crimson Ling Demon's ripped stomach!
With keen observation, Ai Jiangtu walked up to the Crimson Ling Demon and tore open its belly with his bare hands.
"Captain, what are you doing? It's disgusting." Mu Tingying complained, then covered her mouth and nose with a look of disgust, trying to prevent the stench emanating from Crimson Ling Demon's stomach from entering her delicate lungs.
Everyone present was puzzled. Why was Ai Jiangtu cutting open the Crimson Ling Demon's abdomen like that? What important thing was inside?
He proceeded with extreme caution as he tore open the monster's stomach. Slowly, he reached into the monster's abdomen and pulled out the tiny creature with one foot sticking out.
Upon seeing the already lifeless little life, the people nearby were clearly filled with rage.
Ai Jiangtu held the object, which was wrapped in a mixture of gastric juices, blood, and rotten food residue, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Captain, what exactly are you... Ahh!" Mu Tingying was about to ask when she saw the disgusting-looking infant in Ai Jiangtu's arms. She turned pale with fright and screamed.
The others were startled by Mu Tingying's scream. When they saw that Ai Jiangtu was holding the corpse of an infant, the atmosphere changed completely. Everyone's expression was different, and most of the women turned their faces away, not daring to look anymore!
"It was swallowed alive, still alive in the stomach," Ai Jiangtu said in a slightly icy voice after washing the infant.
Zhao Manyan looked at the dead baby and felt a surge of anger. Ai Jiangtu had originally planned to bury them.
"Let me do it. It will be better to purify them with light," Zhao Manyan said, his voice low.
At the edge of the sea cliffs, a powerful beam of light fell from the sky and struck the two small corpses.
Soon, whether the body was well-preserved or highly decomposed, the intense light rapidly decomposed and purified them. Their small bodies turned to ashes in just a few seconds, swirling under the golden beam of light...
