Chapter 33:

The young demon licked the dry and cracked lips and lay down in the grass cautiously, trying his best not to make a sound.
He wore a piece of tattered cloth similar to a rag and barely wrapped his body, the rough cloth rubbed the already inflamed and pus wounds on his body, and there was no intact skin on his whole body that was very painful, but he had already experienced more painful torture. The demon boy was numb to this pain, and his body even exuded a rotting stench like a corpse.
He is a meat animal demon species born and raised in a human feedlot. As the name suggests, he is a demon. In fact, he is a gourmet raw material on the table of a human nobleman. It was originally tonight that he should be sent to the slaughterhouse. one day. In the past, in order to survive, he always kept making hideous and ugly wounds on his body, trying to make himself sick into inedible inferior meat, but the breeder seemed to have discovered his abnormality and prepared to treat him as broken. The diseased flesh is directly destroyed and disposed of.
Although human breeding of foreign races as food has developed into an underground black trading market, if it is exposed in front of the public, the person in charge of the breeding farm will still be held accountable and punished.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to let him live, but the breeders did not expect that he was raised as a domestic animal but he had an IQ not lower than a high-level intelligent life. When they were negligent, they had already prepared for many years to escape from the farm. After taking advantage of the drunkenness that the guards were drinking outside, the demon boy broke his own wings and crawled out of that narrow and incredible tunnel with difficulty.
In order to hide the authentic existence, he even took the initiative to pull out his nails and bought out the guards who were in charge of guarding their area, so that he would search his room less carefully.
Devil’s nails and teeth are a kind of valuable alchemy materials, which can be sold at a high price on the black market. After the demon on the farm are slaughtered, the most symmetrical and delicious parts of their bodies will be sent to the noble table. The remaining parts that can be used to sell money will not be wasted, even the bones can be sold to the necromancer as a medium for low-level undead skeletons.
The demon boy knew that they would soon find that he had escaped. The hyena, which was specially fed with devil’s minced meat, would soon catch up with the smell of blood. Once caught back, what awaited him could only be more than death. Endless torture to be painful.
But he didn't want to die.
Finally escaped, how could he be willing to die so easily.
But his weak body and hungry and cramped stomach made him even lose the strength to continue to escape.
When he felt desperate, he suddenly found a caravan and a hired mercenary regiment approaching.
The demon boy held his breath in fear.
For the impression of human beings, in his memory, there are only the grinning face of the breeder and the ruthlessly dropped whip and fists, the fat butcher with his face full of flesh in the slaughterhouse and the guillotine that he does not know how many demonic heads have been cut in his hands.
If they were discovered by humans, they would definitely send him back to the place that made him worse off than death.
The demon boy only hoped that these humans could leave as soon as possible, but unfortunately things went contrary to their wishes, and they were stationed not far from his hiding place, seemingly preparing to spend the night here.
The demon boy gritted his teeth and stared at these humans fiercely with red eyes, almost hateful.
"Strange, have you asked about the rancid smell of a corpse?" A human girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly stood up in the mercenary group.
Hearing what she said, the others also became puzzled.
"It seems to be, is there any beast's corpse around?"
"Well, it's possible. If the corpse attracts carrion birds, it will be troublesome."
"Everyone went to look around for them separately, and if they find the corpse, they will set it on fire to avoid accidents."
Following the orders of the leader of the mercenary group, the rest of them also dispersed and searched.
Could it be that the meaning of his desperate escape from that was to be discovered by the corpses of these humans as wild animals and then burned him alive?
He knew that as long as they could find him, sooner or later they would find his traces. Now that he didn't even have the strength to stand up, how could he escape from these human mercenaries.
The devil boy is desperate.
"……babble?"
A voice that was as soft as a cloud, and with a childlike immature and surprised voice came from behind the demon boy.
The demon boy stiffened and closed his eyes numbly and disappointedly.
It's so painful to live anyway, maybe it will be easier if you die.
I only hope that they can kill him before setting fire, otherwise it would be too painful to be burned alive.
"That... are you injured?" The cautious and soft and concerned questioning sound that the Demon Boy is not familiar with came into his ears.
The demon boy paused, slowly opened his closed eyes, and found a little girl who seemed to be a human cub looking at him in surprise.
Kill her!
For the human beings who hate blood and blood, the appearance of the young girl did not arouse the demon boy's heart. He just wanted to bite her delicate neck and sip her warm and sweet blood until she died.
But he didn't even have the strength to kill a little human girl, maybe as long as she hit him with that stone a few times, he might die.
The demon boy closed his eyes and waited for his death to come.
Suddenly, a strange warm and slightly itchy sensation came from the wound on his body.
The demon boy opened his eyes in surprise, but saw the little human girl he wanted to kill before, squatting down beside him, and a faint ball of light emerged in his hand.
A warm and healing power emerged from the ball of light. Although the effect was not immediate, his injury was indeed getting better.
"Big brother, I just became an apprentice to a pastor not long ago. I am not very proficient in healing. If you feel pain, it doesn't matter if you call it out." The little girl looked at him seriously.
The demon boy met her eyes.
The little girl has a pair of clear and gentle jet-black eyes. Even when she looks at him, who is full of dirt and rancidity, there is no trace of disgust or contempt in her eyes, but pure and gentle concern, with a bit of distress and confusion.
I don't know if it's too weak, he felt a little dizzy in his mind.
This was the first time he felt kindness from human beings.
It turns out that humans are not like the vicious and cruel villains in the feedlot?
Do not. Maybe she just wanted to paralyze and confuse him, and then give him a fatal blow when he was defenseless.
The demon boy's eyes became cold again.
At such a close distance, this little human girl did not guard him, and under her treatment, he also recovered a bit of strength.
It is not difficult to kill her.
Just pinch her fragile white neck and apply a little force, she will die.
‘Gurulu...’
The little girl raised her head blankly and looked at him suspiciously with those clear black eyes, "Big Brother, are you hungry?"
The devil boy fell silent in embarrassment.
The little girl suddenly took out a small bag from her small bag and handed it to him. She seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She blushed and whispered: "This is a snack I made by myself, but I put too much sugar. , It may be a bit unpalatable, but you can eat a little cushion to cushion your stomach."
The devil boy took the food she handed without hesitation.
Even if the food she gave him may be poisonous, it is better than starving to death.
When he could not wait to take apart the food that the little girl handed him, he found that it was not the smelly food or dry brown bread he was familiar with, but small and cute round shapes. Strange things that cannot be named.
But his instinct told him that these things are edible, and the tip of his nose also smelled the strange fragrance that aroused his appetite.
The demon boy picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and then he was stunned.
... so sweet.
He used to only playfully throw the cakes on the table on the ground when the human nobles came to patrol their group of meat animals. He luckily snatched a small piece of demon boy who couldn’t wait to plug it into the mouth and chewed. I swallowed it without chewing.
Because if you hesitate, this piece of cake will be snatched away by other hungry compatriots. In the feedlot, every piece of food is extremely precious, even if it is the that others throw on the ground.
A faint sweet smell remained in his mouth, which made him aftertaste for several days, and then an older fellow demon told him that it was the smell of sugar.
When the demon boy was stunned by the food the little girl gave him, a rather eager calling voice followed.
"May, where are you?"
The demon boy suddenly recovered and stared at the little girl almost coldly.
If she opens her mouth to expose his existence, he will kill her immediately.
The little girl was stunned, her immature face showed caution and thoughts beyond her age. First, she gestured silently to the demon boy, then took off her robe and covered her unclothed body. Demon boy.
"Sister, I just found a little herb, I will return to the camp as soon as I finish picking it." The little girl replied.
After replying, the little girl lowered her head and looked at the dazed demon boy and apologized: "Sorry, big brother, I can't take you back with you. You look like you just escaped from somewhere. Well, there is a slave/little dealer/child in our caravan. If he finds out, you will be taken away by him."
She touched her body again, and took out a dozen pieces of copper coins and a bottle of medicine for him.
"I have simply helped you deal with the injury on your lower body. After you leave here, drink this bottle of recovery potion, which can temporarily help you restore some physical strength. You can take the money to buy some food in the next town. ."
The little girl confessed a lot to him like an adult, until her sister waited a little anxiously and began to urge her, the little girl stopped.
"Sorry, I can only help you."
The little girl pursed her lips apologetically, looking at him seriously with her soft and moist black eyes.
"I hope you can have a safe journey from now on."
Before she left, the little girl gave him her white robe as clothing, lest he still wore the tattered rag with a strange smell.
The demon boy hiding in the shade of the tree quietly watched the little girl rush to her sister, not knowing what she said, the girl showed helplessness and headache, and squeezed the little girl's face.
The little girl smiled and threw herself into the girl's arms, her white face was dyed with the luster of the puff, and her black eyes that were brighter than the starry sky shone with warm and soft light.
It is so beautiful and dazzling that it is difficult to look away.
The demon boy who should have left long ago stood motionless.
The tip of his nose moved, and he sniffed on the robe that the little girl left him with a touch of warmth.
The warm and soft scent with a hint of medicinal scent is just like the smell that she exudes.
The red eyes of the demon boy were reflected in the light of fire jumping in the distance, and he turned and left after the little girl disappeared in the tent.
...
"That one……"
The girl trembled slightly, and with a soft voice that was a little embarrassed and bewildered, she called back the demon youth's somewhat tranced distant consciousness.
His eyes fell on the dark-haired girl before him again.
After seeing the girl's appearance, the demon's red pupils trembled violently for a moment.
The tip of his nose also smelled a familiar and soft fragrance from a long memory.
The tip of his inverted triangle tail shook uncontrollably with excitement, and his lips opened and closed several times before Alukas recovered his dry voice.
The demon youth with black hair and red eyes raised the corners of his lips and showed a seductively provocative smile at the shy human girl in front of him.
"Lovely little human sister, do you want to come in and play?"
