I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2113 Survivors?
"Brother, your barbecue looks delicious better than those made by famous chefs!" Xu Baoer couldn't help but admire, with a hint of pride in her tone.

Liu Jun smiled and said nothing more, just focusing on turning the barbecue. The meat sizzled on the grill, and the fat dripped into the fire, sparking small flames. The aroma gradually spread, arousing the appetite of everyone present.

Ah Mo's stomach growled again, but she didn't feel embarrassed this time. Instead, she swallowed her saliva in anticipation. She secretly glanced at Xu Baoer and found that she was looking at her with a smile. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon." Liu Jun's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of soothing.

Finally, the barbecue was ready. Liu Jun divided the meat into three portions and handed them to Xu Baoer and Amo respectively. Xu Baoer couldn't wait to take a bite, her eyes lit up immediately, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Amo also tasted it carefully. The tenderness of the meat and the perfect combination of seasonings made her nod her head, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Delicious!" Ah Mo exclaimed sincerely, the blush on his face had long been replaced by a satisfied smile.

Liu Jun watched the two people eating with gusto, and felt satisfied. He picked up his portion of barbecue and tasted it slowly, but his eyes drifted away from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard, as if something was moving quietly in the darkness.

Then, the ghost doll appeared in front of everyone, carrying the ancient demon baby. There was a trace of dissatisfaction on the ghost doll's face, and its eyes were staring at Liu Jun, with the corners of its mouth slightly raised, with a bit of teasing.

"Liu Jun, you are so uncivilized. You let me take care of the baby, and you guys eat delicious food here." The ghost doll said as he unceremoniously grabbed a piece of barbecue, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with relish. He also didn't forget to stuff a piece for the ancient demon baby.

Although the ancient demon baby looked weak, its mouth full of sharp teeth was chilling. It took the roasted meat and bit it effortlessly, making a "crunching" sound, as if it could easily chew even bones.

The moment Ah Mo saw the ancient demon baby, her body suddenly stiffened, and the light in her eyes instantly became cold and sharp, as if she was burning with endless hatred. Her fingers trembled slightly, and although there was still fear on her face, there was more of an uncontrollable anger. Obviously, the appearance of the ancient demon baby reminded her of those unbearable past events - the scene of her relatives being ruthlessly eaten by the ancient demons seemed to be reappearing before her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, this is my brother's pet. He has already put a ban on it. It won't hurt you." Xu Baoer noticed Ah Mo's mood swings and rushed forward to comfort him. Her tone was gentle but firm. She gently patted Ah Mo's shoulder, trying to make her relax.

Liu Junze continued to stare at the ghost doll with a curious look on his face, as if he was puzzled by its behavior.

"Isn't it a waste to eat barbecue like this?" Liu Jun asked with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Although the ghost doll has a physical body, it does not have normal human senses, especially the sense of taste, which is almost non-existent. It eats barbecue just to satisfy a certain form of "sense of participation" rather than real enjoyment.

When the ghost doll heard Liu Jun's words, the smile on its lips became even more intense. It tilted its head and looked at Liu Jun with an almost provocative look.

"Waste? Isn't the barbecue here whether I eat it or not? Besides, what does it have to do with you whether I eat it or not?" There was a hint of disdain in the ghost doll's tone, as if it was mocking Liu Jun's meddling.

Liu Jun shook his head helplessly and said nothing more. He knew that the ghost doll had always been like this, rebellious.

The ancient demon baby was still quietly chewing on the barbecue, as if everything around it had nothing to do with it. Its eyes were empty, without any emotional fluctuations, as if it was just a puppet being controlled. However, its mouth full of sharp teeth and powerful bite force made it impossible to ignore its existence.

With Xu Baoer's comfort, Ah Mo gradually calmed down, but she still didn't dare to look directly at the ancient demon baby. She glanced at the ancient demon baby from time to time, and her eyes still flashed with complex light, with hatred, fear, and even a trace of unspeakable sadness.

"Okay, don't think too much." Xu Baoer said softly, trying to divert Ah Mo's attention. "Let's continue eating and don't let these things affect our mood."

Liu Jun nodded, picked up a piece of barbecue and handed it to Amo. "Come on, eat something and stop thinking about those unhappy things."

Ah Mo took the barbecue, forced a smile, and nodded. She knew that she couldn't stay immersed in the shadow of the past, but the deep hatred could never be easily erased.

The ghost doll grabbed another piece of barbecue, and then sat down next to Liu Jun, still chewing the meat, and said incoherently: "I'm telling you, I found a survivor in this city."

"Survivors?" Liu Jun looked puzzled, frowning slightly. At the same time, he noticed that Amo stopped eating barbecue, with the skewers of meat in his hands hanging in the air. His body was a little stiff, as if he was restrained by something invisible.

"Yes, they are all humans, and there are about four hundred of them." The ghost doll continued, with a hint of excitement in its tone, as if this was a major discovery.

"Where are they?" Liu Jun asked, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"In the dungeon of this city." The ghost doll replied, his eyes sweeping over Liu Jun and Amo, as if observing their reactions.

"Let's go take a look?" Liu Jun suggested, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone. He turned his eyes to Xu Baoer, as if waiting for her response.

"No, don't go." Ah Mo said hurriedly, her voice a little hurried, even with a tremor. Her face turned pale in an instant, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes, as if there was some terrible secret hidden in the dungeon.

Liu Jun and Xu Baoer looked puzzled and looked at each other, wondering why Ah Mo had such a big reaction. Xu Baoer put down the barbecue in her hand and asked softly, "Ah Mo, what's wrong? Is there any problem with the survivors in the dungeon?"

Ah Mo took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down. Her fingers tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, her knuckles slightly white. She whispered, "There, there, we can no longer be considered complete people, so, so everyone, don't go there."

"Not a complete person?" Liu Jun frowned, feeling a little uneasy. His eyes fell on Ah Mo, trying to get more information from her expression.

Ah Mo nodded and lowered his voice even lower, as if he was afraid of being heard by some unknown existence: "In order to survive, some people may go out to find food, while others will, will..."

She stopped talking abruptly, but Xu Baoer and Liu Jun both heard the deep meaning behind it. It was a creepy suggestion, as if returning to the era of the Great Famine, when rice and flour were more precious than human flesh, so many people chose the most primitive and cruel way of survival.

Liu Jun's fists clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles made a slight "crackling" sound. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Let's go and take a look." Liu Jun stood up, his tone firm, but a hint of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

Xu Baoer nodded, and turned to look at Amo, trying to calm her down: "Amo, it's okay, go and take a look."

Her voice was gentle, but it carried a force that could not be refused. Although Ah Mo was very reluctant, Liu Jun and Xu Baoer insisted on going, so she did not dare to stay here alone. Although the city had been cleared of the ancient demons from outside the domain, who could guarantee that there were no other more terrifying beings lurking in the dark?
The three of them walked along the dilapidated street, the cobblestones under their feet made a "creaking" sound, as if telling the vicissitudes and secrets of the city. The surrounding buildings had long been dilapidated, the walls were covered with cracks and moss, and the air was filled with a smell of decay.

Liu Jun walked in front, looking around vigilantly.

Xu Baoer followed closely behind, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She looked back at Amo from time to time to make sure she was not left behind.

Amo seemed a little nervous, his hands were clenched tightly together, and his steps seemed a little hesitant.

Suddenly, a low whimpering sound came from the front, like some creature groaning in pain. Liu Jun immediately stopped and signaled the two people behind him to keep quiet. He moved forward cautiously, approaching the source of the sound.

Turning a corner, they saw a shocking scene - a skinny figure was huddled in the corner, holding a bloody human leg in his hand and gnawing on it frantically.

Liu Jun's pupils suddenly contracted. It was obvious that this was not an ancient demon, but a living person, but he had completely lost his human appearance. His eyes were bloodshot and blood was hanging from the corners of his mouth, like a hungry beast.

"He...he is no longer human." Ah Mo's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear. Xu Baoer held her hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort, but her palms were already soaked with cold sweat.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, and his hands turned into dragon claws again. He knew that the man in front of him could not be saved, and the only thing he could do was to end his suffering.

However, just as he was about to take action, the "person" suddenly raised his head, let out a sharp roar, and pounced towards them.

Liu Jun's pupils shrank slightly, and his body reacted instinctively. He raised his arm slightly, and the cold light of the dragon claw flashed in the dim air, as if cutting through the flow of time.

The "man's" body instantly stiffened, as if it was frozen in mid-air by an invisible force. When his body fell to the ground, it was already in pieces, blood splattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Brother, can you not be so bloody?" Xu Baoer couldn't help but say, her voice had a hint of helplessness, but more of calmness.

She was fine, after all, she was a doctor and had been on the battlefield, so she had seen all kinds of scenes. She glanced at the wreckage on the ground, her brows slightly furrowed, but soon relaxed again.

The key point is that Ah Mo behind her couldn't bear it, and her body was shaking like a sieve. Ah Mo's face was pale, and her hands tightly grasped the corner of Xu Baoer's clothes, as if this could give her a sense of security. She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at the miserable scene on the ground, and her breathing was rapid, as if she would faint at any time.

"I'll pay attention next time." Liu Jun said lightly, with a hint of apology in his tone.

He put away his dragon claws, and his hand returned to normal, but the cold aura still did not dissipate. He knew that his actions just now were indeed a bit too bloody, but he had no better choice. Facing this thing that was no longer human, he could not control himself.

Xu Baoer turned around and gently patted Amo's shoulder, trying to calm him down. "It's okay, Amo, it was just an accident."

Her voice was gentle and firm, and seemed to have a magical power that could make people feel at ease.

Ah Mo slowly opened her eyes, her gaze was still a little dull, but her breathing had become much more stable. She nodded and managed a smile, but the fear on her face still hadn't completely dissipated.
