Devouring the Stars: Blood Sea Demon Lord

Chapter 1 Bloody Light

2018, summer.

The fifth year of the Cataclysm.

In a dense jungle.

There were eight people in total, three men and two women, five adults, and three children aged eight or nine. They all looked tired and were resting in the jungle.

Especially the three adult men holding AS50 sniper rifles more than one meter long, who were drenched in sweat and sat on the ground gasping for breath.

"Brother Minghai, we are the ones who are holding you back!"

The adult man on the left, holding the AS50 sniper rifle tightly in his hand, panted and said to the man in the middle:
"If we weren't a burden, you'd still be in the shelter, well-fed and well-clothed. Your family could live there for a long time, and you'd definitely be able to get help!"

The man known as 'Minghai' was also panting. After hearing this, he shook his head while loading his AS50 sniper rifle.

"Brother Luo, don't say that. The beasts are getting more and more powerful every day, and the shelter is not safe!"

After a pause, Ming Hai showed a wry smile on his face and said:

"The most powerful mutant beasts can even destroy a mountain. My shelter will be destroyed by them sooner or later. Even without you, I will leave!"

"If Big Brother Minghai hadn't taken us in, our two families would have died if they had encountered any mutated beast on the way to escape!"

The man surnamed Luo sighed:

"At least we have guns now. Ordinary mutant beasts can't do anything to us!"

"The radio said that China has established six major bases. I wonder if these bases can stop the increasingly terrifying beasts!"

"Brother Minghai, I heard that we humans also have powerful mutants!"

Another man said:
"Three years ago, the ferocious beast 'Blood Demon Heavenly Wolf' slaughtered over a million humans, but was severely injured by a powerful being named 'Thunder God' and fled!"

"If they can openly establish human bases, there must be powerful humans in those bases. As long as we reach the bases, we will be safe!"

"exactly!"

Hearing the name 'Thor', an indescribable complex expression flashed across Minghai's eyes, and he nodded.

"Brother Tang, in this day and age, ordinary people simply can't survive in the wild. The only way to be safe is to go to the base!"

"Uncle Ming, drink some water!"

At this moment, a little boy came over with three bottles of mineral water. He handed one to Minghai first, and then handed the other two bottles to the man named Luo and the man named Tang.

Taking the mineral water, Ming Hai looked at the little boy, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Brother Luo, Brother Tang, during this great disaster, our three families have shared hardships. This friendship is very rare and should be continued!"

After a pause, Ming Hai looked at the man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Tang and said with a smile:

"Why don't we let Luo Hongguo, Tang Cheng, and Ming Zhao become sworn brothers? This way, they can take care of each other and continue our friendship. What do you think?"

"That's a good idea!"

The man surnamed Luo was the first to respond and said with a smile:
"I suggest that, in addition to becoming sworn brothers, you each acknowledge each of us as your foster fathers. From now on, the Ming, Luo, and Tang families will be one family!"

"agree!"

The man surnamed Tang followed suit and laughed:

"How about we three become sworn brothers, not just the three of us?"

"That's a good feeling!"

Seeing that both of them agreed, Ming Hai smiled and applauded:

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today. Let the three little guys become sworn brothers first, and then it's our turn!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

The man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Tang laughed and agreed.

Then start the action immediately.

The crowd made a small mound on the ground, stuck three cigarettes on it, lit them, and called three little boys over.

So, under the witness of the elders from three parties, the three little guys, Luo Hongguo, Tang Cheng and Ming Zhao, began to kneel down to worship heaven and earth, swore an oath, became sworn brothers from then on.

Mingzhao is ten years old and is the eldest.

Luo Hongguo was nine years old and became the second child.

Tang Cheng was eight years old and became the third child.

Then it’s time to pay homage to the godfather.

The eldest brother Mingzhao used mineral water as tea and presented it to the man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Tang one by one, becoming their adopted son.

Then there is the second son, Luo Hongguo.

"Godfather, please have some tea!"

Nine-year-old Luo Hongguo knelt down towards Minghai, holding a mineral water bottle in his hands. His little face was full of seriousness as he spoke solemnly.

"Hahahaha!"

Minghai took the mineral water, unscrewed the lid, put it in his mouth and took a big sip, then laughed happily.

Just as Minghai was laughing, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a blurry shadow appearing in the tall grass opposite him, and his face suddenly changed.

Before he could react, the blurry shadow rushed out. It turned out to be a pig-like monster with hair all over its body like spikes and two long and huge fangs sticking out of its mouth.

Boom boom boom~~~
This pig-like monster was two meters five or six meters long and one meter five or six meters tall. Like a tank, its huge body shook the earth. It galloped forward with all four hooves, rumbling towards them.

The ferocious beast that evolved from a pig, the Iron-Haired Wild Boar! The Iron-Haired Wild Boar suddenly appeared and attacked. Except for the Minghai who happened to be in sight and facing it, no one present noticed it.

The strength, speed and nerve reaction of all ferocious beasts are more than ten times that of humans. If they are suddenly attacked, ordinary people will have no time to react.

"Hongguo, get out of the way!"

Ming Hai roared and stretched out his hand to push Luo Hongguo away from him, but when he was about to dodge, he was one step too late.

‘Puff’

Two half-meter-long snow-white fangs pierced into Minghai's body easily like a knife piercing tofu, and passed through his chest.

Two chills came from his chest, but the pain was too short for it to reach his brain. However, Minghai already knew that he was going to die, and he suddenly felt despair.

There were two fangs piercing his chest, one of which went straight through his heart. He was just an ordinary person, how could he survive?
"Why am I so unlucky? Not only did I not become a warrior during the Great Nirvana period, but I also died so early? Let alone Luo Feng, even Luo Hongguo was still just a little kid!"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Minghai's mind.

‘Papa pa pa’

‘Papa pa pa’

……

The fierce gunshots awakened Minghai's confused mind.

However, the man surnamed Luo and the man surnamed Tang finally reacted. They both picked up their AS50 sniper rifles, pulled the triggers, and desperately fired bullets at the iron-haired wild boar.

"Ow ooh..."

The AS50 sniper rifle is a long-range sniper rifle specially used by the US special forces. Its bullets are extremely lethal. Even the iron-haired wild boar, which is famous for its defense, screamed in pain after being hit by so many bullets in a short period of time, so that it failed to throw away the Minghai hanging on its fangs in time.

"This is the 'Iron-haired Wild Boar'. Bullets can't penetrate its skin. Attack its head!"

"The Iron-Haired Wild Boar's head is blocked by Big Brother Minghai's body. Don't hurt Big Brother Minghai. Hit his stomach. His stomach isn't as defensive as other parts!"

Ming Hai came to his senses and heard the conversation between the two people in addition to the sound of dense bullets.

"Forget it, just die. No matter what, I still have a son, I have to let him survive!"

Thinking of his son Mingzhao, Minghai, who was on his deathbed, gritted his teeth and raised the AS50 sniper rifle that he never let go of on the road to escape. He put the muzzle of the gun into the big mouth of the iron-haired wild boar and then desperately pulled the trigger repeatedly.

‘Papa pa pa’

Bullet after bullet was shot into the iron-haired wild boar's mouth.

The AS50 sniper rifle, with a caliber of 12.7 mm, has a long range, fast bullet discharge, and small recoil. It can fire 5 bullets within 1.5 seconds. It is a cutting-edge infantry weapon before the disaster.

It might not be able to penetrate the skin of the ferocious beast, the Iron-haired Wild Boar, but it definitely cannot stop the relatively fragile interior of its body.

The bullet shot in from the mouth not only broke the iron-haired wild boar's mouth, but also smashed the inside of its head into pieces.

Soon, the ferocious iron-haired wild boar fell to the ground with its four hooves facing the sky and died with a "bang".

With a "snap", Minghai's body broke away from the fangs and fell to the ground.

"father!"

"Big brother!"

"Father!"

"Mr. Ming!"

……

The men, women and children around all gathered around, all with anxious faces, shouting in panic.

"Stop, stop shouting!"

Ming Hai, who was exhausted and feeling colder and colder, looked at his son Ming Zhao, who was crying, with difficulty. He then looked at Luo Hongguo, who had just recognized him as his adoptive father, with regret, and said to everyone with a smile:

"I'm going to die, but you guys have to live on. Ming Zhao is in your hands now!"

"Don't worry, big brother. Even if I die, I will bring Ming Zhao safely to the base!"

Looking at Minghai, who was dying after being attacked by an iron-haired wild boar while saving his son Luo Hongguo, the man surnamed Luo shed tears.

"Don't, don't say that!"

Ming Hai's face turned pale quickly as he smiled and said:

"Here, give me a Huazi. After I finish smoking it, I will be on my way. Let, let Hongguo light it for me!"

"it is good!"

In this situation, everyone couldn't help but shed tears, and out of respect, they agreed to Minghai's last wish.

Later, the man surnamed Luo handed a pack of cigarettes to Mingzhao. Mingzhao opened it crying, took out a cigarette and handed it to Luo Hongguo.

Luo Hongguo, with tears in his eyes, took the cigarette and put it into Minghai's mouth, then lit the cigarette with a lighter with trembling hands.

Ming Hai forced himself to open his eyes, and with infinite regret, he watched the nine-year-old Luo Hongguo light a cigarette for him.

The cigarette was lit.

Looking at his ten-year-old son Mingzhao, Minghai took a deep breath.

"Phew, the taste hasn't changed!"

Ming Hai muttered to himself, then his head tilted and he lost consciousness.

At the same time, a ray of blood light came from the sky, flashed by, and disappeared into the center of Minghai's eyebrows.
