Chapter 2355: Difficult to guard against
She watched with amazement at the sight of a little baby with its hands and feet outstretched on the gra.s.s.
Why was there a baby in this place? She felt that it was strange. As she stepped closer, sure enough, it was a baby. The baby’s eyes were closed, but its hands and feet were dancing and its mouth was yelling, “Ah, ah.”
Looking at the naked baby waving his hands and feet, she released her divine sense to search the surroundings, only to find that there was no one around but herself.
However, just as she was recovering her divine sense, a gust of wind blew over carrying a faint smell of blood.
“Blood?”
She raised her eyebrows and looked somewhere in the forest, then at the baby at her feet. She bent down and picked the baby up from the gra.s.s. When she picked the baby up, her hands were wet and she looked down to see blood streaming from a wound on its back.
“Are you hurt?”
Feng Jiu was stunned. She only smelled the blood from a distance just now but did not smell the blood on the baby. She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. With a free hand, she was trying to take a robe out of the s.p.a.ce to wrap the baby. But, suddenly, the baby in her arms suddenly opened his eyes. Its eyes were not like a baby’s at all but like the eyes of an animal.
“Hiss!”
All of a sudden, the baby in her arms suddenly sprang up from her like a monstrous beast. Its mouth opened wide and made a hissing sound, revealing sharp fangs. Its claw-like hands grabbed her shoulder with one hand and her skirt with the other hand. The big mouth with bloodthirsty breath suddenly came forward and bit off her neck.
Since it happened so suddenly, Feng Jiu had no time to dodge. She could only stretch out her free hand and slap it on the head of the beast. A fierce breath pa.s.sed between her palms, and with a bang, the beast’s whole head flew out in an instant but its body was still clinging to her and still moving.
She shook her hands and tried to throw the monster out. However, when her spirit energy surged, a powerful breath bounced it away at the same time. The shoulder where the monstrous beast held into was torn, showing several deep bleeding wounds where bones were visible.
With a slight frown, she snorted and looked coldly at the separated corpse whose head and body were still moving. She turned her palms and two flames flew out with a whoos.h.i.+ng sound. The flames instantly burned the monster’s head and body clean.
“Feng girl!”
After collecting the tree branches, the old man didn’t wait for Feng Jiu to return because he was a little worried. He went in Feng Jiu’s direction and kept looking for her. After walking a distance, he suddenly heard the movement in front of him. Immediately, he released his divine sense that swept away in that direction.
Feng Jiu’s hands drooped to her side powerlessly. Her azure robe was dyed with blood. She trembled with fear. Her arm was shaking due to the deep wounds. She glanced down and heard ahead of her the sound of a baby crying as if it had just woken up. Her eyes gleamed and she kept walking forward.
“Feng girl!”
Sage Hun Yuan’s figure swept in. After a few breaths, he already arrived at Feng Jiu’s side. When he saw her terrifying wound, he could not help but gasp.
“Hiss! How did you get hurt like this! The wound is still bleeding. Bandage it quickly to stop the bleeding!” The old man was startled to see her like this..
