With a snap of its gaping maw, blood spurted from between its teeth. The limbs, not yet inside its jaws, trembled twice before drooping limply. They had gained consciousness!
In just a few years, they will be able to take human form!
Maybe it was an adorable little girl, or maybe a serious-looking little boy, who would obediently call out "Hello, sister"—how could they bear to eat it alive?!
Damn it!
ground.
A high-ranking shaman chuckled, “These unformed demons aren’t even that tasty. I’ve heard of a famous dish: a large iron cage is made, and inside are newly formed demons, still in human form! Underneath the cage is a pot of blazing charcoal.”
"It's just roasting, what's so special about it?"
"It's not just that. There's a copper basin filled with seasoning sauce inside the iron cage. When the little demons get hot, they walk around the fire basin, and when they get thirsty, they drink the seasoning sauce from the copper basin."
"Hey, this is interesting."
"Right! There's charcoal grilling outside, and the seasoning sauce inside is scalding hot from the charcoal fire. Soon, the little demon will be cooked through, its skin and flesh piping hot and tender. It's the most delicious thing to eat when it's taken out!"
The Great Shaman exclaimed in delight, "Delicious! Absolutely delicious! Shall we try some? These few haven't taken human form yet, but they're still edible."
"There are ways to eat them even if they haven't taken human form. For example, put them in a bronze cauldron, cover it, add water, and simmer over a low flame. There are small holes in the lid, and when the little demons inside the cauldron can't bear the heat, they will stick their heads out of the small holes. At this time, feed them with seasoning sauce until the little demons are slowly cooked, and their meat tastes extremely delicious!"
When the shaman got excited, he danced around with joy, wishing he could catch a few and stew them to try right away.
The little demon on the ground, its wounds gruesome, let out a terrified scream and cowered away.
He grinned maliciously and reached out to grab it, but unexpectedly someone behind him said coldly, "I do know a good dish, even tastier and fresher."
The great shaman exclaimed joyfully, "Quickly tell me, how do we do it?"
"The method involves nailing wooden stakes and crossbeams into the ground, and then firmly binding the shaman's hands and feet to the stakes. At this point, boiling water is poured over the shaman's body. If you want to eat a particular piece of flesh, you cut it off with a sharp knife and cook it. By the time you've almost finished eating, the shaman is still breathing and can still make noises. Isn't that interesting?"
The great shaman was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "What the hell did you say—"
As he turned around, a blazing, sharp white arrow flew towards him. Before he could react, the arrow pierced through his brain!
In his final moments, as his consciousness faded, he was still thinking:
Where did this arrow come from?
This arrow was naturally shot by Tong Su.
As soon as she landed, she drew her bow and shot the leading shaman dead with a single arrow. With her left hand, she scooped up all the bloodied cubs and stuffed them into her sleeve, then sprinkled healing medicine into them with her fingers.
The cub let out a trembling sob, and her hatred for the great witches intensified!
Only after the leading shaman fell did the other shamans realize what had happened. Enraged, they roared and drew their swords, slashing at the enemy with tremendous force.
"Where did this little brat come from? She's asking for it!"
"I was just saying I wanted to eat a creature that could transform into a human, and here it is, delivered right to my door! Perfect timing to try it out!"
"Stop killing it! It tastes best when it's alive. Cutting off its limbs is just—ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was shot in the head with an arrow. The other high priests were startled and, upon closer inspection of the power emanating from Tong Su, turned pale with fright.
"A Taiyi Golden Immortal?!"
