After Xiao Hei finished eating the greedy demon in front of him, he was still licking the residue on his claws with satisfaction. Ji Chuan felt that the energy emitted by Xiao Hei was even more powerful.
"What changes have you made?"
"Reporting to the master, I feel that my abilities have become stronger. In addition to being able to completely ignore the methods of low-level demons, I have also gained a lot of high-level resistances, including high-level magic resistances of time, contract, and spirit. These resistances will also work on the master."
Is this the reason why he ignored time reversal and mental control? Ji Chuan's pupils dilated slightly. He remembered that Chu Tiankuo used the confidentiality contract on him and was resisted by Xiao Hei. Was it because of this swallowing?
His thoughts were turning rapidly, and Ji Chuan was a little confused. Would what happened in this world affect his original world? If Xiao Hei had not devoured this greedy demon, would he still have those high-level resistances?
If it really can have an impact, should we let Xiao Hei devour more demons?
The only way to improve my strength so far is to collect the power of faith. If I want to become stronger, the only thing I can do is to attack Xiao Hei.
"Feel it more. If you encounter a higher-level demon, I will catch it and feed it to you."
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Hei was extremely excited. He didn't expect his master to be so good to him. It seemed that contracting Ji Chuan was a very wise choice. He was not sure that his own methods could defeat other higher-level demons, but his master was different.
His master's power was like a bottomless pit. He had never seen so many powers in any other god. He was afraid that his master was a dominant god and was different from ordinary gods.
Ordinary gods are all fools who claim to be righteous. When his master gets ruthless, he is more like a devil than a devil. Xiao Hei does not think that his surrender is a shameful thing. On the contrary, he thinks it is an honor to be Ji Chuan's only contracted devil.
He will try his best to search for the breath of his own kind for Ji Chuan to capture. Traitor of the devil? Not possible. His own kind becomes his nourishment. He is the strongest among the devils. The strong is the only truth in the tribe. Strength can solve all the unpleasant voices.
…
Emma still felt uneasy recalling what happened a few years ago.
"Give him up, Emma."
The husband looked at his wife with a sad face and whispered to her, but his wife's face was full of tears and she seemed to be making a great decision.
The couple had always wanted to have a child but had tried for many years to no avail. Infertility was basically unsolvable in the kingdom and no doctor could cure it.
The husband was selected by the royal city during the conscription. Although he was extremely reluctant, the man had no choice at the moment. The human royal city was already in danger, and the frequent invasions of alien races were about to capture the kingdom.
The men were terrified in the battle with the bear people. Those scary bear people stood up like a mountain and could tear a man's skin apart with just one slap.
Even though humans were wielding weapons, hitting their thick fur seemed to have no effect, not to mention that the weapons the army gave them were like garbage.
The nobles in the kingdom lived a very comfortable life with fine clothes and delicious food, but they were forced to die on the front line with only scrap metal in their hands.
The man was unwilling to accept this. Was it worth dying for such a country? He smeared the blood of the dead warriors on his body and stabbed the broken sword into his loose armor.
He took advantage of the chaotic battlefield and quickly lay down among the corpses. Luckily, his act of pretending to be dead did not attract the attention of the bear man.
They continued to advance towards the royal city, and the humans were beaten back step by step. He listened carefully to the sounds of the battlefield, and it seemed that the battle was getting farther and farther away from him.
He tried to turn over and observe the situation in the distance. After carefully looking around and making sure there was no danger, he knew he should take this opportunity to run away, run to a place far away from the battlefield, and take a detour back home where his wife was still waiting for him.
He didn't know the way. Humans basically lived in the royal city. The world outside was extremely dangerous, and they would not leave the city unless they had to.
"Why is there a child here?"
While escaping, the man saw a naked baby. It looked like an extremely strong baby boy, much bigger than an ordinary child.
The man was a little excited, maybe this was his chance to become a father.
He took off his ill-fitting armor, carefully held the baby boy in his arms, and wrapped one of his own clothes around the baby.
He became more determined to survive. If he could go back this time, maybe he could live a peaceful life.
According to military records, he should have died, and no one would come to his house to recruit soldiers. As long as he hid his identity well, he could live a normal life as a family of three.
The man carried the baby boy and ran quickly towards another city gate. He tried his best to hide his figure in the woods. Finally, near dusk, he arrived at the city gate.
"I was working at a nearby crystal yttrium mine. My wife and child brought me dinner, but on the way back, they were chased by a wounded bear man. I ran away with my child in my arms, and I don't know if she can survive."
The man gave a reason he had prepared in advance. The guard looked at the child in the man's arms and did not doubt him. He let the man in directly. There was still a shortage of men in the city. Many men had died in the wars.
The man breathed a sigh of relief. He got what he wanted and was forgotten by the army and lived his ideal life.
At first the couple felt very lucky and did not notice anything unusual, but as the child grew older, they began to panic.
The child grew too fast. At the age of three, his height was almost as high as the man's chest. Moreover, his appetite was astonishing. Almost all of the man's family's income was used to buy food.
"I'm so hungry, mom, I'm so hungry!"
Their child seemed to be repeating this sentence all the time. If they continued to eat like this, not only would they not be able to feed the child, but the couple would also not be able to hold on. They had basically been living in hunger for a long time.
Meeting her husband's gaze, Emma nodded.
She put a cloak over the child's head, so that he looked like a sturdy man.
"Mom will take you out to find food, but you have to follow mom and don't say a word, otherwise there will be no food."
"Okay, okay, go find something to eat. I won't say anything."
Emma went all the way to the south of the city, which was the city gate closest to the crystal quartz mine. During the day, relatives would go out of the city to deliver meals to the miners.
She walked out with the child behind her. They walked a long way. She was a little afraid of the danger she was about to encounter, so she pointed into the distance and spoke to the child.
"Baby and mommy play a game. If the baby wins, he will have endless bread, okay?"
"Okay, okay, how do you play, Mom?"
"As long as you keep running forward and don't let mom catch you, you win."
"Okay, okay, mommy, chase me!"
The child ran away quickly, but the way he moved was more like a gorilla. Emma looked at the direction he left with tears on her face, feeling deeply guilty.
"I'm sorry, Mom has no choice, don't blame Mom..."
Emma ran towards the royal city without looking back, not daring to imagine what kind of danger their children would face.
