I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 156 - Ah Ning

Chapter 156: Ah Ning

Ling Pingan walked along the road for about ten minutes.

He saw the shadow of the village houses at the end of the road.

However, there was no light, so he could only see the outline of the houses under the moonlight.

Ling Pingan walked over with his spring embroidery saber.

“Bleat! Bleat!”

A strange cry came from behind him.

Ling Pingan turned around and saw a strange giant bird pouncing at him with strange steps.

He quickly took out the spring embroidery saber in his hand and looked at the strange bird warily.

The strange bird tilted its head. Its huge and bright crown was strangely tall.

Its feathers were fiery red.

It was at least 1.7 meters tall, which was comparable to the restoration of the Nanzhou Moa’s fossil that Ling Pingan had seen in the museum.

Its beak was as sharp and curved as the beak of an eagle.

“Bleat! Bleat!” The cry that sounded like a young deer came out from its beak.

The strange bird was very fast. It pounced in front of Ling Pingan in a few steps.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of dark green stuff with a foul smell.

In a moment of desperation, Ling Pingan had no choice but to roll on the ground to avoid the mouthful of phlegm.

However, he couldn’t avoid the strange bird’s wings!

Its huge wings suddenly pounced and sent Ling Pingan flying several meters away!

What was worse was that it also knew how to seize the opportunity to pursue!

Its huge legs kicked hard, and its two huge wings soared into the air. Like an eagle hunting, it used its sharp claws to pin its prey firm on the ground!

Ling Pingan had just come back to his senses when he saw the huge body of the strange bird flying above his head.

It was too late to dodge!

At this moment, Ling Pingan recalled a popular saying in the author group: “When a tiger pounced on me, I’ll slide under it and use my saber to cut open its stomach…”

It didn’t seem very reliable, but now, Ling Pingan had no other choice.

He immediately exerted force with his feet and pushed back. At the same time, he raised his embroidery saber and stared at the strange bird that was pouncing on him.

He used all his strength to stab the tip of the spring embroidery saber towards the strange bird’s abdomen, the moment it pounced towards him.

Splas.h.!.+

Fresh blood spurted out.

The strange bird’s claws also grabbed onto Ling Pingan’s shoulders.

Its sharp claws pierced into the flesh on his shoulders.

If this was reality, Ling Pingan would already have no strength or leeway to resist.

However, in the game, he could still exert strength.

He used all his strength to hold the spring embroidery saber tightly in his hand, and then pulled it forward with all his might.

Cras.h.!.+

The strange bird’s belly was completely pierced.

The claw that grabbed Ling Pingan couldn’t help but let go in pain.

Screech! Screech!

Its beak let out a fawn-like cry.

Its huge body fell to the side of the road.

Seeing this, Ling Pingan hurriedly raised the spring embroidery saber in his hand and pounced on the strange bird, poking it fiercely.

He gasped for breath and squatted down, only when it stopped moving.

Only then did he have time to look through his battle records.

He then knew that the strange bird’s name was ‘Crazy Victory Encounter Baby Bird’.

“Baby bird!” Ling Pingan looked at the huge bird corpse in front of him and shook his head. “Is this a baby bird?! How big would an adult bird be?!”

What made him even more embarra.s.sed was that this thing was only level 6.

In other words, this was just a f*cking little monster!

“I almost died in the hands of a little monster…” Ling Pingan lowered his head in shame.

He knew that if it wasn’t for the fact that he had already added some HP before coming here.

That little monster would probably be able to kill him in one move.

Fortunately, he had added some HP before coming here, so his strength attribute was far higher than this little monster. Besides, the spring embroidery saber had its sharp special effect, so he could easily cut open this little monster’s belly and kill it off!

After resting for a while, Ling Pingan got up and walked to a box that appeared in front of the bird monster’s corpse and rummaged through it for a while.

His nature as the Misfortune Chief had not changed in the slightest.

He only looted a quest item called “Evil Water Fragment” and a bottle of medicine called “Water Purification Potion”.

When Ling Pingan touched the Evil Water Fragment, he discovered that he had automatically obtained a quest: Collect Evil Water Fragments.

The mission required him to collect 20 Evil Water Fragments to start the next phase of the mission.

As for the description of the Water Purification Potion, it was also a little strange: Purify a polluted well.

Ling Pingan held the two items and thought. So, the monsters in this dungeon are related to water.

He looked at the strange bird that fell on the road and thought: Victory Encounter Bird? A strange beast from the cla.s.sic of mountains and seas?

“So, is this a dungeon with an oriental fantasy or Xianxia background?!”

“Interesting!”

He rested on the ground for a while and waited for his HP to recover.

Then, he stood up and continued to walk forward.

Soon, he arrived in front of the village.

Under the moonlight, he looked at the buildings on the outskirts of the village.

That was a very typical ancient village.

Outside the village, there seemed to be a fence-like outer wall. Between these fences, there seemed to be a few talisman-like things stuck at a certain distance.

Unfortunately, the fence, which had once protected the village, seemed to have been damaged by something and had gaps on it.

There was one in front of Ling Pingan.

He simply followed the gap and walked in.

Just as he walked into the fence, a floating window appeared in front of him. Congratulations, dear player, you have arrived at Beian village before daybreak!

Perhaps you can look for the villagers in the village to find out the current situation of Beian Village.

“Villagers?” Ling Pingan scratched his head.

He looked around. The entire village was quiet. There was not even the sound of dogs barking.

Houses made of straw and loess were scattered on both sides of the bluestone road.

He tried to walk to one of the houses and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He asked loudly again, “Is anyone at home?”

There was still no response!

Just like that, he knocked on one house after another.

Ling Pingan did not find anyone either.

He did not even find any traces of the villagers.

The village became more and more gloomy under the desolate blood moon.

Finally, after knocking on at least twenty houses, a large house with red bricks and blue tiles appeared in front of Ling Pingan.

He walked up and knocked on the door. As usual, he asked, “Is anyone at home?”

He thought that there would still be no response.

But unexpectedly, the door creaked open.

A little girl with a small braid and a jacket, holding an oil lamp, popped her head out from the crack of the door.

“Big brother…” she looked at Ling Pingan and seemed very surprised. It was not until she saw Ling Pingan’s clothes that she calmed down. She opened her cute eyes and asked, “Are you from the Brocade-clan Guards?”

Ling Pingan looked at the little girl, squatted down, and even looked at her cute little red face. He smiled and said, “Big brother is a Brocade-clan Guard!”

“My dad is also a Brocade-clan Guard!” the little girl said, “But this afternoon, my dad said that he had to go out to do something, and he never came back…”

“Mom went to find Dad tonight…”

“She didn’t come back either…”

“Big Brother!” The little girl opened her cute big eyes and looked at Ling Pingan. “Can you help me find my father and mother?”

Looking at the cute little girl, Ling Pingan smiled and nodded. “Yes! Big Brother will go find your father and mother now…”

“What are your father and mother’s names?” Ling Pingan asked.

“My father is my father!” The little girl said seriously, “He is very tall and likes to play the flute alone!”

“My mother is very beautiful!”

Ling Pingan was confused, but this little girl seemed to be at most four years old, maybe just a little more than three years old. It was already good enough that she could talk about things to this extent.

Therefore, he didn’t ask any more questions. He just smiled and asked, “Little girl, What’s your name?”

“My name is Ah Ning!” the little girl said.

“Okay!” Ling Pingan said to her, “Ah Ning, Big Brother is going to find your parents!”

“You have to be good at home. Remember to stay at home. Don’t go anywhere! Wait for Big Brother to find your parents!”

“Okay!” Ah Ning nodded seriously.

“Right!” Ling Pingan asked again, “Ah Ning, do you remember which direction did your parents went?”

Ah Ning pointed to the left side of the gate, “Dad went there! Mom went there too!”

“Got it!” Ling Pingan stood up and looked in the direction Ah Ning pointed to.

There was a bluestone path that led to an exit of the village.

He followed the path and continued forward.

At that moment, a thin fog began to appear.

The night became even more desolate and gloomy.

After walking for a few minutes, Ling Pingan arrived at the fence by the side of the village.

The fence here seemed to have been destroyed by something violent.

He walked out and saw a mulberry forest in front of him.

It seemed to be the place where the villagers usually picked mulberry leaves.

There were messy footsteps at the edge of the mulberry forest.

Many bushes seemed to have been trampled on.

It seemed that many people had run into the mulberry forest from here.

Of course, it was also possible that they had run into the village from the mulberry forest.

Ling Pingan was not a detective, and he had never learned footprints, so he could not tell the difference.

But one thing was certain. Something must have happened in this village.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a red figure behind the earthen embankment in the mulberry forest.

He walked over to the earthen embankment and saw a corpse lying under it.

It was a female corpse with a basket in her hand.

Ling Pingan flipped her over and saw her fatal wound on her chest.

An extremely sharp weapon had pierced through her heart!

After the murderer killed her, he kicked her off the embankment!

Ling Pingan looked at the corpse and her wide-opened eyes.

“So!” He already knew who the murderer was!

He even guessed the ident.i.ty of the deceased!

In the distance, in the depths of the mulberry forest.

A tall man wearing a flying suit and holding a spring embroidery saber had already rushed over to him at high speed!
