I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2112 Amo
"Brother, do you think we can kill all the remaining ancient demons in this city?" Xu Baoer suddenly asked, with a determined light in his eyes.

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes, a cold murderous intent in his gaze. "Yes."

It's not that he was showing off, but there weren't many ancient demons left in the city. After devouring the flesh and souls of the city's residents, the ancient demons moved deeper into the Platinum Divine Realm, leaving behind only a few remnants that had left the main force. For Liu Jun and Xu Baoer, these ancient demons were dangerous, but not invincible.

The two looked at each other and started to act in tacit understanding. Liu Jun's hands once again turned into sharp dragon claws, while Xu Baoer took out a jade flute from her sleeve. The sound of the flute was melodious, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

They walked through the ruins carefully, taking every step with extreme caution. Although there were not many ancient demons, each one was extremely cunning and could easily fall into their traps if they were not careful.

Suddenly, a low roar came from the front. Liu Jun and Xu Baoer immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a huge ancient demon slowly walking out of the ruins. Its body was covered with black scales, its eyes were bloodshot, and a fishy liquid dripped from its mouth.

"Here it comes." Liu Jun said in a low voice.

Xu Baoer nodded, put the jade flute to her lips, and played it softly. The flute sounded melodious, as if carrying a mysterious power, and the air around them began to tremble slightly.

The ancient demon seemed to be attracted by the sound of the flute, and its movements became slow. Liu Jun seized this opportunity and rushed forward, his claws heading straight for the ancient demon's heart. A cold light flashed, and the ancient demon let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Brother, well done!" Xu Baoer put down the jade flute and a smile appeared on her face.

Liu Jun nodded, but did not let down his guard. "There are more," he whispered, looking around.

Sure enough, as the first ancient demon fell, more ancient demons emerged from the ruins, their eyes filled with greed and murderous intent.

"Are you ready?" Liu Jun asked with a hint of smile in his tone.

"Anytime." Xu Baoer replied, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

The two launched attacks at the same time. Liu Jun's claws drew cold rays of light in the air, and each claw accurately targeted the vital points of the ancient demon. Xu Baoer's flute sound echoed in the air, as if forming an invisible barrier, limiting the ancient demon's movements within a certain range.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the number of ancient demons gradually decreased. Finally, the last ancient demon fell under Liu Jun's claws, and the whole city returned to silence again.

Liu Jun and Xu Baoer stood in the ruins, covered in blood and dust, but their eyes were full of victory.

"We did it." Xu Baoer said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone.

Liu Jun nodded, with a complex emotion in his eyes. "But this is just the beginning." He whispered, looking into the distance.

At this moment, Liu Jun's expression suddenly changed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it, and a cold light shot out like lightning, pointing directly at a shadow in the house next to him. The cold light cut through the air, making a slight "whoosh" sound, and instantly disappeared into the darkness.

"Ah——" A scream came from the shadows, the voice full of fear and pain. Then, a thin figure walked out tremblingly from the darkness.

The figure looked like a human, but he was wearing the skin of an ancient demon from outside the domain, which made him look particularly clumsy. The skin of the ancient demon was thick and rough, as if it had just been peeled off, and it also exuded a faint fishy smell.

Liu Jun frowned, staring at the thin figure with a knife-like gaze. His body was covered with dragon scales, he had a pair of sharp horns on his head, and a thick tail behind him. He looked like a humanoid beast. His appearance was even more ferocious than the ancient demon, no wonder the thin figure was so frightened.

"Who are you?" Liu Jun asked coldly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

Because the thin figure was covered with the ancient demon skin, only a pair of eyes were exposed. At this moment, the eyes were staring at Liu Jun in horror, full of fear and uneasiness. Obviously, Liu Jun's image made her feel extremely scared, and she didn't even dare to look directly at him.

"Brother, let me ask." Xu Baoer walked forward and patted Liu Jun's shoulder gently, signaling him to be patient.

Liu Jun nodded and took a step back, but his eyes were still fixed on the thin figure, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

Xu Baoer smiled slightly, looked at the figure with gentle eyes, and asked softly: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. Why are you here? Why are you wearing the skin of an ancient demon?"

The thin figure seemed to be moved by Xu Baoer's gentleness, and the fear in her eyes was slightly relieved. She hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke in a hoarse and low voice: "I... I was forced. The ancient demon's skin is my only protection. Without it, those ancient demons will rush up and tear me apart, and I won't be able to survive..."

Xu Baoer frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Are you alone here? You will be corroded by the black energy if you wear the ancient demon skin like this."

The skin of the ancient demon will also carry some black air. Although the erosion speed of this black air is not fast, if the person keeps wearing the skin like this, the black air will slowly penetrate into the body, and the person will die in half a month at most.

The figure lowered her head, as if she was lost in some painful memories. She slowly said, "It's just me. I know this skin is not good, but there is no other way. If I don't wear their skin, I will be killed immediately. I don't want to die. I don't want to be eaten alive by them like my father, mother, grandparents." When Liu Jun heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the thin figure in front of him would be so miserable. The ancient demon skin on her body is not only a disguise, but also her only hope of survival.

Xu Baoer sighed softly and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid anymore. Now that you have met us, we will protect you. What is your name?"

The figure raised her head, a glimmer of gratitude flashed in her eyes. She whispered, "My name is Ah Mo."

"Amo, what a nice name." Xu Baoer smiled and continued, "Let's find a place to stay for a while. I'll help you get rid of the evil spirit on your body."

Ah Mo nodded, and a glimmer of hope finally appeared in her eyes. She followed Xu Baoer carefully, as if she was afraid that she would fall into darkness again.

The three of them came to a building one after another. Although this building had gone through wind and rain, it was still well preserved and not damaged. It stood in the ruins, as if telling of its former glory. This should be the residence of a nobleman. When the ancient demons from outside the domain attacked this city, they had already started to flee. So it was very messy here, but there was no smell of blood, and it was obvious that no one died here.

Xu Baoer looked around and her eyes fell on a larger house. She gently pushed open the door, and the smell of dust and decay hit her face. She frowned, but decided to choose this place.

"Let's do it here." Xu Baoer turned to Amo and said, motioning her to throw the ancient demon skin out of the house. Amo nodded and quickly threw the ancient demon skin out, as if it would bring bad luck.

"Brother, be more self-aware." Xu Baoer glanced at Liu Jun with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Liu Jun blinked, not understanding what she meant at first, but when he saw Xu Baoer preparing to treat the area on Ah Mo's arm that was corroded by the black energy, he suddenly understood. He hurriedly left the room, not forgetting to close the door.

The process of treating the erosion of black air obviously requires taking off clothes. Although Amo is not very old, she is also a girl, so it is naturally inconvenient for Liu Jun to be present.

He stood outside the door, leaning against the wall, feeling somewhat uneasy. He looked up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds, as if a rainstorm would come at any time.

Inside the house, Xu Baoer took out some ointments and tools from the package she carried with her and began to treat Amo. Her technique was skillful and gentle, as if she was treating a precious work of art. Amo closed her eyes tightly, with a painful expression on her face, but she clenched her teeth and did not make a sound.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Liu Jun, who was waiting outside, became a little anxious. Finally, the door was gently pushed open, and Xu Baoer came out with a trace of fatigue on her face.

"How is it?" Liu Jun asked hurriedly.

Xu Baoer nodded and smiled. "It's been taken care of. Ah Mo needs to rest."

Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart finally fell. He walked into the house and saw that Amo had already put on his clothes. Although his face was pale, he seemed to be in better spirits.

"Thank you, Sister Baoer." Amo said softly, his eyes full of gratitude.

Xu Baoer waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, we are friends now that we know each other, let's help each other."

Amo lowered his head a little embarrassedly, obviously suffering from social anxiety.

"Well, how about I get something to eat?" Liu Jun asked tentatively, his eyes moving back and forth between Xu Baoer and Amo, as if looking for a suitable moment to break the brief silence.

Xu Baoer was about to respond when suddenly a gurgling sound came from Amo's stomach, breaking the silence around them. Amo's face instantly turned red, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, unconsciously covering his stomach with both hands, as if trying to cover up this sudden "protest".

"No, sorry..." Amo's voice was as thin as a mosquito, almost inaudible. The tips of her ears were red, and she was obviously extremely embarrassed about her loss of composure in such a situation.

Seeing this, Xu Baoer couldn't help but chuckle, with a sly light in her eyes. She waved her hand and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, I'm hungry too. Brother, let's get started!"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of mischief, as if trying to ease Amo's embarrassment.

Liu Jun nodded, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and then went to the yard, skillfully took out some dry firewood from the storage space and piled it on the open ground, his movements were neat and orderly. Then, he took out a large grill and placed it steadily above the firewood. Obviously, he was going to make his best barbecue.

The fire gradually grew, the wood crackled in the flames, and a faint pine scent emanated. Liu Jun took out a piece of fresh meat from the storage space. The meat was tender and the texture was distinct. He skillfully cut the meat into even pieces, his movements were skillful, as if all of this had already become a part of his body.

Xu Baoer sat aside, holding her chin with both hands, watching Liu Jun's busy figure intently, with a gleam of anticipation in her eyes. She swung her legs gently, and seemed to be in a particularly happy mood.

Amo was sitting a little further away. Although the blush on her face had not completely faded, her eyes were involuntarily attracted to Liu Jun's actions.
