"Brother Lu, they were lured here by us. They should have enough time to escape." A fifteen to sixteen year old youngster turned his head and said to the people beside him.

Standing beside him, the youth surnamed Lu looked at the countless figures that had gathered outside the wooden window. He softly sighed, "Pillar, this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

The pillar seemed to be keeping a close eye on life and death, smiling at the people beside him, "Brother Lu, we saved the villagers, it's worth it. In terms of merit, we should at least vote well for the reincarnation cycle."

"Cough, cough." At this moment, in a corner of the broken temple, under a pile of grass, a few coughing sounds could be heard. The sudden appearance of this sound startled the two youths.

As the two youths stared at the corner where the voice had come from, a figure sat up with some difficulty, revealing a pale and delicate face.

The person quietly looked at the two teenagers for a moment before shifting his gaze away. He did not speak nor did he do anything unnecessary. He only lowered his head slowly, as if he was looking at the grass beside him.

"Lil 'Bro, why are you here?" The youth surnamed Lu quickly recovered from his dazed state and said anxiously to the person in the corner, "What should we do? We were originally here to save him, but now we've harmed little brother."

The two of them had already prepared for the worst. But now, there was another person in the broken temple who would be attracted to this "demon" who would not be reasonable enough to let this additional person go.

However, the person not far from them didn't seem to have heard their conversation, as he continued to stare at the messy grass beside him without moving.

The youth surnamed Lu walked towards a figure not far away, hesitating. If he hadn't seen the youth's distinct black and white eyes earlier and determined that this person was different from the demons outside, he probably wouldn't be in such a situation, approaching a stranger.

"Hello, my name is Lu Bei." The youth surnamed Lu walked closer. As he looked more closely at the person in front of him, he told him his name.

This person was around the same age as him. He sat blankly in the grass as if he was thinking about something. His clothes didn't look like the clothes he wore in the surrounding ten Li eight village. Although the clothes were dirty and worn out, one could tell from the material of the clothes that the boy did not look like a local. He looked like he was from Qingan County, which was hundreds of miles away from this place.

Lubei and Zhu lived in an ordinary village. Lubei was a child who wandered into the village at the age of eight and was adopted by a kind family. The pillar was born in the village, but his parents died early.

According to his memories, when he was begging in his childhood, he wandered around Qingan County. This youth's clothes were definitely only made from the material of Qingan County, and he was one of those famous figures that only existed in Qingan County. And the locals couldn't afford to wear it.

"Could it be that Qing An County, a few hundred miles away from this place, was also invaded by the 'Devils'?" Lu Bei couldn't help but think, "If a bustling area like Qing An County were to be occupied by a 'demon', then the number of 'devils' would be …" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The numerous thoughts that appeared in his mind only lasted for an instant.

He was different from the pillar. The pillar was simple, but death was not unbearable for him. However, from his experiences of begging when he was young, he had seen a bustling county like Qingan County. He had always dreamed of becoming a big shot when he grew up. That way, living would have a lot of value. But now …

As he thought about it, he let out a sigh, as if talking to himself, "Young man, in recent times, many 'devils' have appeared in the eight villages. These devils eat the living alive, and they are extremely strong, only their movements are slow. A few days ago, the people who escaped from the southern village brought news, but the villagers did not believe it. As more and more people fled, the villagers finally became on guard, preparing to move the entire village in batches. However, just after moving a few batches of people, those 'devils' came.

Thinking about how we would repay the kindness the villagers had shown us over the years, we brought these devils here, giving the villagers more time to escape. Right now, the 'devils' are gathering more and more outside, so there is no hope for us to escape.

The person in front of him was listening to him quietly, but there was still no reaction.

"Brother Lu, when the devils come in, kill me first. I don't want to be bitten to death by them." The pillar said to Lubei at this moment.

The young man who said those words without any hesitation seemed to be thinking that after saving so many people and going through the cycle of reincarnation, he should be able to go to a good family.

"Alright, Brother Lu will send you on your way first. I'll accompany you later." He was born in the same village, had never seen the outside world, and was an orphan who grew up eating a hundred meals, the villagers were simple and undiscriminated, they did not have much hope, they only had feelings for life, they did not have much desire for life, so they did not have much feeling for life. Life could be said to be so carefree, but whether it was fortunate or pathetic was unknown.

"Sigh."

It was as if this sigh stirred the youth who had been silent the entire time. The youth was still motionless, but he opened his mouth and said the first sentence: "Do you really want to live?"

Little brother, what are you saying? Who doesn't want to live? "The one who replied to the young man wasn't Lubei, but rather the pillar," If it wasn't to save the villagers and live well, then I would've died.

In this short period of time, the devils outside had surrounded the broken temple so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

The freedom of the pillar, the unwillingness and melancholy of Lubei, and the indifference of the unfamiliar youth seemed to form a picture scroll incompatible with each other.

"What about you?" The youth finally looked up at Lu Bei and asked seriously, "Why do you want to live?"

"Because I'm unwilling." Although Lu Bei's reply was short, he did not hesitate.

"You don't want to accept this?" The youth muttered to himself.

"Brother Lu, just do it. I don't want to be bitten to death by them." Seeing the demons getting closer and closer, Pillar looked like he remembered that the villagers were still suffering from the pain after their flesh and blood were bitten. His body trembled as he said this to Lu Bei.

"Yes." He then took out a slightly rusty knife from his chest, "Brother Lu will accompany you right away."

With that, he turned to the youth and said, "If those devils eat human flesh and blood, it would be extremely painful for them to land in their hands. They would have to suffer a lot before they die. After I die, you can use this knife to save yourself from pain. "

The youth indifferently said, "If you really want to live, why don't you work hard and only think of how to die?"

"There is no chance. The devils are extremely powerful. The three of us youngsters simply have no way to survive." Lu Beiyu looked unresigned.

"I've often heard people say that opportunities are something that you've fought for yourself. If you truly want to live, then give it a try. You don't want to die comfortably." The teenager leaned against the wall. Perhaps he had been lying there for a long time, but he stood up with some difficulty and said to Lu Bei.

This sentence seemed to have struck a deep chord in his heart, causing him to have an inexplicable feeling.

"Even if you still die in the end, the process will make you feel happy. It's not like you will live in unwillingness and pain from the moment you die." The boy stood up with difficulty and looked out the window at the demon they were talking about.

"Bro, thank you. I've taught you a lesson."

The youth looked out of the window at the crowd and was about to enter the temple where the "demons" were gathered. He laughed at himself and said, "These aren't any big words. I just casually said a few words."

The youth pointed outside and said to Lubei and Pillar, "Is this the devil you speak of?"

Kubei and Pillar also looked out of the window and nodded in unison.

The youth looked out the window and understood what kind of demon they were talking about.

A group of unconscious humans.

"Other than his immense strength, what else?" The youth asked.

Kubei and Pillar said in unison, "Bite anyone who sees you. "He won't say a single word to anyone."

The teenager nodded. He picked up a rock beside him and threw it out the window at the place where the demons gathered. He heard the sound of rocks colliding with something hard. There were dozens of people gathered outside …

The devil stared blankly at the same time, and then immediately moved towards the direction of the voice.

Action was indeed extremely slow.

Seeing that the Devils were about to enter the temple and move towards the source of the sound, they couldn't help but feel excited at the same time.

"From now on, pick more stones and follow me. Do not make any sound, if you want to live." The youth said in a low voice.

Soon after, the youth fumbled for some rocks and with his hands in them, he walked out of the temple. After a moment, the young man fumbled for some rocks and held them in his hands as he walked out of the temple. The three of them moved softly, and with every few steps the youth would throw rocks into the distance, attracting the demons with the sound of stones hitting the ground or the walls.

Even though it seemed simple, it was extremely effective.

Those so-called devils really did not have any consciousness. They were completely gathered by sound. Just like that, they constantly threw rocks and walked out of the temple that was surrounded by dozens of devils.

Just as he left the last wave of Devils behind, Pillar runs away in excitement. However, the sound of running makes the Devils turn around in unison.

At this moment, Kubei immediately pulled on the pillar, and the youth also threw a few large rocks behind him. The few of them walked on until they could not see the devil.

"Hello, my name is Fang Li." The teenager said to the two in front of him. "I'm very happy that you guys appeared in my dreams. One was like me when I was young, innocent to the point of being a little silly, looking at the young, unwilling to prove myself to be a fool. But I don't want to play with you guys anymore."

The youth did not wait for the two to retort and took Lu Bei's knife, stabbing at his own chest without hesitation, "This dream is really strange, wake up!"
