Chapter 201: The Man Inside the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast's Belly

On this day, the people of Bajin City finally recalled the fear of being dominated by magical beasts.

The magical beasts let out terrifying roars in the dark night, while the cries for help, wails, and screams of humans rang out alongside them, composing a shocking symphony in this city stained red with blood.

After Ye Lin was captured six days ago, countless magical beasts appeared in his wake, and the people of Bajin City ushered in their true darkest hour.

Facing the slaughter by the magical beasts, the young and able-bodied of Bajin City gathered together, united as one, prepared to risk their lives to fight the magical beasts.

But they soon discovered that their actions were entirely in vain; facing the powerful and terrifying magical beasts, they were merely ordinary people, and even if they cast aside their lives and gave their all, they could not harm the beasts in the slightest.

Even at the cost of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, they could not leave a single wound on a magical beast.

The people of Bajin City did everything they could and thought of every method they could imagine, but the disparity in strength left them unable to see even a glimmer of hope.

Under the powerful bodies and various skills of the magical beasts, the resistance of the humans in Bajin City was entirely futile.

An emotion called despair completely enveloped the entire Bajin City.

"Daddy, get up quickly, I won't make you angry anymore, just get up, don't ignore me!"

A little girl cried and shoved a man's upper body, while his lower body had already been bitten into the mouth of a magical beast, emitting a series of teeth-grinding chewing sounds.

"Yueyue, run... run... run..."

The man used his last bit of strength to push his daughter, wanting to push her away, but in the next second, the magical beast opened its bloody maw and bit off his remaining upper body in one gulp.

Only a bloody arm remained in the little girl's hand, and she was so frightened that she stood there stunned on the spot.

The next second, the magical beast opened its mouth, preparing to swallow the little girl into its belly as well.

At the critical moment, another small figure lunged out, tackling the little girl to the ground and dodging the magical beast's sharp teeth.

Then, that small figure pulled the little girl up and quickly ducked into a nearby alley.

The magical beast wanted to chase the two, but the narrow alley entrance jammed the beast's massive body, knocking down a pile of rubble.

"Daddy!"

After the little girl was saved, she still wanted to rush back out, but that small figure reached out and grabbed her pigtails.

"Your father is already dead; if you go out, the result will be the same as him—being eaten by that monster."

"You're lying! You're lying to me! My daddy isn't dead..."

Slap!

Before she could finish speaking, a crisp slap landed on the little girl's face.

"If that's the case, then go ahead if you want to throw your life away."

The small figure let go and turned to leave.

It is hard to persuade a ghost that is determined to die; in this Bajin City, which was like a living hell, she could not save everyone.

The little girl was stunned by the slap; she looked at the hideous magical beast jammed in the alley entrance, then looked at that small back, and finally turned to follow.

"Where... where are you going?" the little girl asked, plucking up her courage.

The small figure glanced at her, said nothing more, and just continued on her way.

Soon, the little girl was brought to the ruins in a dark corner. The small figure swept away the rubble, found a handle, gritted her teeth, and pulled hard, revealing an underground space.

And beneath the ground were all children as small as the little girl, their originally pure and flawless eyes now filled with terror.

"Hide inside."

The small figure pushed the little girl into this relatively safe shelter and then prepared to close the door again.

"What... what is your name?" the little girl couldn't help but ask.

"Bai Siyou."

After saving the little girl, Bai Siyou disappeared into the alleys after a few turns; even though she was just a child herself, Bai Siyou was incredibly calm at this moment.

She shuttled through Bajin City, constantly finding the right timing to save people from the sharp teeth of the magical beasts.

She only saved children who were about her size or smaller; after saving them, she would send them into the hidden shelter mentioned before, then set off again.

Bai Siyou was using her own way to save Bajin City, attempting to leave behind a final spark for the city.

But if you walk the night path too often, you will eventually encounter a ghost.

Just as Bai Siyou took action to save a little boy from the mouth of a magical beast, a Soul-Devouring Magical Beast set its sights on them.

Bai Siyou and the boy immediately fell into an illusion; everything before their eyes began to become bizarre and grotesque, and there were even tiny people appearing before them to dance.

Bai Siyou was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, she bit the tip of her tongue hard; the intense pain and the metallic taste in her mouth instantly allowed her to break free from the shackles of the illusion.

At this time, the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast had already approached the two. Bai Siyou turned pale with fright; she could barely save herself, let alone the little boy, so she gritted her teeth and turned to flee.

Behind her came the gruesome sound of the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast feeding. Bai Siyou dared not look back and just ran for her life.

But the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast clearly did not intend to let this prey in its mouth go. After eating the little boy, the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast flapped the fleshy wings on its back hard and charged toward Bai Siyou.

The Soul-Devouring Magical Beast had a slender body and could fly; even if Bai Siyou hid in the small alleys, she could not shake off this beast at all.

And when she turned the next corner, Bai Siyou fell into instant despair.

Because another Soul-Devouring Magical Beast appeared directly in front of her! At this moment, that beast slowly turned its head, clearly having also set its sights on Bai Siyou.

Bai Siyou's face was deathly pale; she was now caught between a wolf in front and a tiger behind. She couldn't even deal with one Soul-Devouring Magical Beast, and with two of them attacking from front and back, this was a hopeless situation with no chance of survival!

However, Bai Siyou did not give up. She untied a sharp dagger from her leg, preparing for a desperate struggle.

When the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast in front charged, Bai Siyou raised the dagger and stabbed toward it.

However, the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast's body was covered in mucus; Bai Siyou's stab not only failed to injure the creature, but the dagger in her hand slipped out of her grasp.

Bai Siyou was completely desperate; she gave a miserable smile and quietly waited for death to arrive.

The Soul-Devouring Magical Beast approached bit by bit, and Bai Siyou could even smell the fishy stench on its body.

Just when Bai Siyou thought she was surely going to die, the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast that had approached her first suddenly acted as if it had a cramp, twisting wildly and even banging its head against the ground with loud thuds.

Bai Siyou widened her eyes, not knowing what had happened, and the other Soul-Devouring Magical Beast was also full of confusion.

She saw that the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast was twitching and twisting as if it had gone mad, and immediately after, a scene that left Bai Siyou dumbfounded appeared!

A human silhouette suddenly appeared on the belly of the Soul-Devouring Magical Beast, and then, a completely naked man tore open the beast's belly and crawled straight out.

That man stood before Bai Siyou like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, standing in a wide-legged stance.
