A meteor-like flash of daylight suddenly tore through the sky, briefly illuminating this forbidden land beneath our feet, and also revealing the cold glint of countless bloodthirsty eyes lurking deep within.

The light was as fleeting as a candle flame, and the thick darkness immediately returned, intertwining with the pungent smell of blood in the air.

Shen Shuchou lowered his eyes to look at the writhing pieces of flesh and the winding trails of blood on the ground, and slowly placed his palm flat on the cold ground.

The next second, a bizarre scene suddenly unfolded.

The still-twitching pieces of flesh seemed to be drawn together by an invisible force, rushing wildly towards his palm along with the blood still flowing from his heart.

In just a few breaths, countless flesh and blood surged and condensed under his palm, eventually forming a blood bead the size of a fist, which hovered in his palm and pulsated slightly, like a dancing demon core.

These blood beads are the essence of the mountain, containing within them the terrifying, forbidden power of the mountain lord.

Carefully tucking the pulsating drop of blood into his undergarments, Shen Shuchou got up and walked to the side.

Tantai Chigu, who had been knocked unconscious by him, was still in a coma, her eyelashes drooping quietly, but her delicate nose twitched slightly.

The corners of her mouth were still unconsciously smacking, as if she was savoring the lingering sweetness in her mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou smiled helplessly and then leaned down to gently pull her into his arms.

With a light touch of his toes, he leaped into the air, his figure instantly disappearing into the inky darkness.

He had only been gone a moment when a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the depths of darkness.

Immediately afterwards, countless blood-red eyes appeared from all directions, casting an eerie dark red glow over this desolate land.

These eyes were all locked on the direction where Shen Shuchou disappeared, each with a different emotion in their gaze.

There was deep-seated fear, undisguised greed, and an unfathomable astonishment.

After a while, all the blood-red eyes went out one by one, the dark red faded, and the forbidden land was once again completely swallowed by the thick darkness.

......

......

As the gaze slowly parted slightly, a room came into view, exuding an antique charm yet extremely simple.

As far as the eye could see, only a wooden table stood alone in the corner, its surface gleaming with a brand-new shine, clearly having been recently purchased.

Tantai Chigu sat up from the bed, looking at the completely unfamiliar surroundings, her pretty face calm and expressionless.

For her, unfamiliarity was the norm.

From the first time she opened her eyes to look at the world, all she saw were corpses piled up in mass graves.

The whole world had always felt distant and unfamiliar to her.

She was not human, so she naturally didn't have the complexities that belonged to humans, but at this moment there was one thing that made her no different from humans.

Her stomach was completely empty, and a sharp, agonizing hunger was screaming at her, making her acutely aware that she was starving.

Suddenly, Tantai Chigu's little nose twitched a few times, like a puppy that had caught the scent of its prey, its nose twitching slightly as it tried to catch that tempting aroma.

Intrigued by the scent, she immediately got off the bed, walked barefoot to the door following the fragrance, and gently pushed it open.

After walking through the short corridor, she pushed open another door, guided by the scent.

The layout of this room is very similar to the previous one, with a wooden table, but with an additional, slightly worn cabinet.

But Tantai Chigu ignored all the decorations, his gaze fixed on the figure lying on the bed a few steps away.

His eyes, which had been calm and still just moments before, suddenly flashed with a burning desire.

She practically leaped to the bedside, tiptoed closer, her nose almost touching the other person's cheek, greedily inhaling the scent that haunted her dreams.

Lying on the bed was Shen Shuchou, his eyes closed and only barely audible breathing coming from his nose.

He was completely unaware of the small figure in front of him.

The owner of this petite figure, Tantai Chigu, was currently preoccupied with figuring out how to devour him.

She tilted her head, her gaze sweeping over Shen Shuchou before finally settling on his arm.

Although she was not human, her past memories were as clear as yesterday. She clearly remembered that the last time she bit into this spot, it was so hard that she couldn't bite into it at all.

Tantai Chigu, who had never experienced human emotions before, was now tasting the bitterness of distress for the first time.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and for a moment she couldn't think of where to start.

After much deliberation, Tantai Chigu decided to give it one more try.

She reached out and grabbed Shen Shuchou's arm, leaned forward slightly, and quickly opened her mouth to bite down on his wrist.

The "smack, smack" sound of teeth grinding was particularly clear in the empty room, echoing outwards in circles.

But time slipped away, and although her face turned slightly red from biting, the skin on her wrist remained smooth.

A cold sweat broke out, and I froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

He never expected that Tantai Chigu would wake up before him, and he certainly didn't expect that this little girl would sneak into his room and do such a shocking thing.

Shen Shuchou naturally knew that to the starving Tantai Chigu, he was nothing more than a piece of food.

But now is definitely not the time to let her take advantage of him. Moreover, although his physical body is now forbidden, he is not sure that his body can really be as hard as iron.

If this little girl were to bite me hard... I'm afraid... it would really break.

Cold sweat trickled down his temples, Shen Shuchou's Adam's apple bobbed, and the hand holding her head unconsciously tightened a little.

Even with Shen Shuchou pressing down on his head, Tantai Chigu's face remained expressionless.

In her eyes, food is meant to be eaten, whether it's dead or alive, as long as it fills her stomach.
