The only beast master in the world of immortality.

Chapter 275 Killing the God
"Sister, I'm scared!"

Outside the dark cage, there were sounds of flesh being chewed and bitten, and the child shrank back in fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll always protect you. Those people can't hurt you."

The skinny girl looked at the darkness outside, her eyes also filled with fear, but the younger brother in her arms made her realize that she had to be strong.

"Sister, have our parents been eaten?"

The child didn't dare to look anymore. He turned around and buried his face in his sister's belly. The slightest bit of warmth comforted his fearful and uneasy heart.

Led by their father, their family fled to the sparsely populated mountains and forests to avoid the war. The number of people traveling with them became smaller and smaller, until not long ago, their parents disappeared before their eyes.

They were people who looked exactly like them. When they first met them, they were extremely kind, smiling, and looked very friendly. They even took out food to treat them. However, after midnight, those people became more terrifying than the demons they encountered on the road.

"Mom and Dad are fine, they are still alive, don't be afraid, and we will be fine too."

The girl held her brother, who was also skin and bones, in her arms. The inexplicable chewing sounds and heavy breathing outside the wooden cage also frightened her, but there was no one behind her for her to hide.

"We will definitely get out of here alive."

"Will there be an immortal to save us?"

Hearing his sister's soothing voice, the child raised his head with anticipation in his eyes.

"Fairy?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then she recalled that when her family was on the run and before the world became as bad as it is now, her brother's favorite thing to do was to quietly ride on a tree and listen to the storyteller next door telling stories about immortals playing in the world, punishing evil, and saving the dying and the wounded.

"Yes, there will be immortals who can save us from suffering."

In extreme despair, the girl could only place her hope on the illusory immortal who existed only in legends and in the stories of storytellers.

But it is hard to say whether immortals really exist. After all, there are man-eating monsters in this world. She has seen with her own eyes that one of her companions was captured and eaten by a monster.

And those who captured them and put them in cages, the hideous and brutal attitudes they displayed last night made her shudder more than any demons she had ever encountered.

Even now, when she thought about it, she was filled with fear. How could a person be so cruel and tyrannical? Was that really her kind?

"really?"

On that little face covered with dust and unknown bloodstains, the dark eyes reflected an unknown light from afar, sparkling in the darkness, and blooming with a light called hope.

"Really, there will definitely be an immortal who will come to save us."

The girl's tone suddenly became firm.

Although she knew that this was an almost impossible dream, she still let her brother indulge in this dream before he encountered real despair. Such a world would never come again in the next life.

"Where is the immortal now?"

"On his way to rescue us."

"Storytellers always say that immortals live in the mountains. Did the immortal who saved us also come down from the mountains?"

"Yes, the immortal who saved us has come down from the mountain."

The girl murmured softly, following her brother's ignorant and innocent words, and fantasized about the immortal who didn't exist at all.

"What are you dreaming about, you two little devils? There are only gods on this mountain, not immortals."

Just as the brother and sister were giving each other spiritual comfort, the flickering light of the fire shone over, and a mocking voice rang out. The dim firelight outlined a bearded man, and he seemed to be dragging something behind him.

"Behave yourself, everyone."

The chains of the wooden cage were opened, and the ferocious-looking man threw in the thing he was dragging in his hand. The brother and sister looked over and saw a man with marks of whipping all over his body, hunched over, curled up into a ball, constantly groaning in pain. Who?

Looking at the open prison door, even though it was very close, the brother and sister had no impulse to escape, because they were so hungry that their whole bodies were weak and they had no strength at all. From time to time, there would be a burning feeling of hunger in their stomachs.

"You're lying. Many people have said that there are immortals living in the mountains!"

The girl lowered her head, not wanting to provoke the burly man with a hideous appearance, but the brother in her arms raised his head stubbornly at this moment, wanting to argue with him.

"Mr. Storyteller, the lies they tell can only fool kids like you. When I was young, I ate the food from the mountains. After I got married, I lived off the mountains.

I have been in and out of this forest countless times, but I have never seen an immortal. On the contrary, I have encountered those seductive vixens several times."

The man's mouth opened, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, just like some kind of wild beast that was ready to devour its prey, with fangs and a big mouth. There was some kind of invisible but real evil aura flowing from his body.

"I recently saw the real God, who gave me divine power. I could only avoid the vixen before, but now I can have a taste of her.

You just stay here and don't even think about running away. The gods love you little bastards the most. If you run away, I'll have to work hard to catch you and beat you up again. Trouble!"

Seeing that the brother and sister had no intention of escaping, the big man walked out of the wooden cage with satisfaction, closed the door with a "clang", and tied the iron chain.

Inside the cage, the child who had just wanted to argue was frightened like a quail, huddled in his sister's arms and trembling. Just by looking at the big man, the courage and stubbornness that had just risen up in him disappeared completely.

"Sister, what is a god?"

After a long period of silence in the gloom and depression, the child recovered from the fear brought by the burly man just now, and asked cautiously but curiously.

"God..."

But such a question immediately stumped the girl. How could she know what a god was? She guessed that it was something like the statues sitting in the temple. It only sat on the altar and accepted their kneeling and offerings, but was of no use at all.

"Well, there is no such thing as a god. The one living on the mountain is just an evil god who likes to eat people."

Suddenly, a light cough was heard, and the "person" thrown in by the burly man stretched his body and made a painful sound, but still gritted his teeth and made a disdainful mocking sound.

"That evil god eats a pair of young boys and girls every day, just like you." The "person" whose face was covered with bloodstains and whose skin and flesh were rolled up raised his head and revealed a chilling smile. His face was even more terrifying than the strong man just now, and the child was almost scared to tears.

"Have you seen that evil god?"

The girl was equally frightened as she looked at the other prisoners in the cage. However, in order to survive, she had to understand the situation as much as possible, perhaps there was a possibility of escape.

"No, if I had, you would have seen my wronged ghost instead of my appearance which is scarier than a ghost."

The guy who couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman, or even whether he was a human, laughed.

"You haven't seen it, how can you be sure that it is an evil god who eats people?"

"How can I be sure? Hahaha, guess how many people were in the cage I locked up earlier?"

The man with skin and flesh rolled up and a hideous face, even scarier than a ghost, started laughing.
"Every day, someone disappears in front of me. Those who disappear are offered to the god that guy just mentioned. That evil god will grant them everything they want."

"How could they do this?"

The girl was stunned. She had never imagined that she would be captured by her own people and used as a tribute. When she thought of this, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"If they don't catch us, the unfortunate passers-by, and offer us as sacrifices, it will be their own children that will be eaten."

“Does God have to eat people?”

The frightened child couldn't help but ask.

"Is it not possible to not eat people?"

"I don't know. If you have a chance to meet the evil god, you can ask him why he eats people."

"That's not necessary. Such a god will never appear again."

The girl was so frightened that she quickly hugged her brother in her arms.

"You can't just disappear if you want to. The cage I was originally in was empty, and it was almost my turn, so I took the risk and escaped from there. Unfortunately, I failed."

The "person" with blood still flowing from the corner of his eye looked at the brother and sister.
"I can't be sent into the mountains as a sacrifice in my current state. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, it will be your turn."

"My sister and I are very dirty and we don't taste good. We really don't taste good. Can you please ask the gods not to eat us?"

The child was so frightened by the man's terrifying appearance and words that he ran straight into his sister's arms.

"If I had this ability, I wouldn't be lying here. You guys should take care of yourselves. Who knows, maybe there really will be an immortal who will come to save you. Hahaha!"

In the silent night, the man, who was covered in scars and beaten to the point of being half breathless, laughed so harshly that it even attracted many unpredictable monsters. Their eyes were like pale green ghost lights floating in the air.

However, these monsters only dared to wander around the cage, and none of them dared to pounce on it. Even though they were drooling and could even hear the sound of swallowing, the fear of certain things made them dare not go beyond the line.

The sky was just getting light. In the second half of the night, the girl, exhausted both physically and mentally, could not help falling asleep while hugging her brother. She was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. When she came to her senses, she saw a group of people appearing around the cage.

"What do you want to do?"

The girl knew these people. It was them who led the refugees, including her family, into the village. They entertained them warmly during the day, causing them to relax their vigilance. Then, at night, they suddenly attacked and revealed their true faces.

"What else can they do? Of course they chose you as today's sacrifice to the god who lives on the mountain!"

The weirdo with scabs of blood on his body also woke up at this moment and couldn't help laughing.

"Shut up."

There was a seemingly honest and simple-minded villager who stabbed the weirdo hard with a long stick, tearing open a blood scab on his body that had just healed, causing blood to flow everywhere.

"come out."

The iron chains were unlocked, and several big men with their faces covered with rough cloth came out. Ignoring the girl's struggle and the child's crying, they dragged them out of the cage in a very brutal and rough manner.

Then a woman came and brought clean water and coarse cloth and began to wash the brother and sister. Such treatment, combined with their previous behavior which was no different from that of demons, proved that everything the strange man said would come true on them, and they would be offered as sacrifices to the mountain god.

"No, I don't want to, I..."

The girl's crying and desperate cries were met with only indifference. Her mouth was quickly blocked, and she was dressed in clean clothes before being tied up.

This group of villagers, dressed simply and with simple faces, looked like they were washing livestock before slaughtering them. Many of them even had smiles on their faces. They even sang and danced, looking extremely happy.

But this festive and lively joy did not belong to the brother and sister who had tears in their eyes and wanted to struggle. They were tied to sticks and sent to the mountain like animals.

The mountain people seemed extremely ordinary at first, but after they set foot in the mountains, even the panicked brother and sister noticed their unusualness.

The mountains were covered with lush vegetation and thorns, but this could not stop them. Instead, they walked faster and faster. When they arrived, everything in the mountains would move to both sides to make way for them.

At the end, the girl even felt that this group of people were about to fly, and in fact, that was exactly the case, because on the last section of the road, there really were clouds that came from all directions and took her and her brother away from the hands of that group of beasts.

But this did not make the girl feel at ease. Instead, she became even more terrified, because she finally saw the god she had heard of last night on a hilltop standing in the sea of ​​clouds.

He was not some majestic giant god that was difficult to look directly at, nor was he a ferocious monster that was so terrifying that people dared not even look at him again, but an elegant man who was reading a book.

If she were somewhere else, the girl would not be able to help but feel a little bit of spring in her heart when she saw such a handsome man. But at this moment, in this place where no one was seen, the girl only felt fear in her heart.

"You came uninvited, and it turns out you are an evil guest."

The brother and sister who were huddled together and shivering saw this elegant man suddenly look behind them with a warm smile on his face, as warm as the spring breeze in March.

"What advice do you have for me, my lord?"

The girl turned back in fear, only to see a young man in white clothes who looked like a fallen immortal. Facing the tall and handsome young man, the young man said nothing but drew out a sword and swung it gently...
