All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 23: Seeking Soldiers to Massacre the Village
"This is?"

Ji Ran frowned slightly and saw a ravine.

This place was at the west end of the village, connected to a small hill behind the village. In front of him was a muddy bottom covered with rotten leaves, and an inexplicable stench filled the air.

"While I was fleeing from the Han soldiers, I saw a Red Army soldier also fleeing. After being targeted by the Han soldiers, I saw him jump into a ditch of rotten leaves. Thinking that I would definitely not be able to escape, I gave up this route and led the Han soldiers away."

Ji Ran nodded and walked towards the rotten leaf ditch.

"In the past, when life was peaceful, there were always two big black dogs tied up at the entrance of the village."

Wang Xian followed closely behind and said, "At least this ditch is taller than children. When I was a child, the village forbade children from coming here. They said there were monsters in this rotten ditch that specialized in eating children."

"Not always."

Suddenly, Ji Ran stopped and said, "Sir, I guess it finds it appetizing as well."

Under the moonlight, a piece of mud in the Rotten Leaf Ditch was turned over, and a large pool of dark red blood was scattered, dyeing the nearby mud and the rocks red.

Wang Xian next to him was stunned and then his face turned pale.

"Is it a monster?"

Ji Ran remained silent, following the bloodstains as he walked towards the woods. The bloodstains were extremely clear, which meant that the Red Army soldier was seriously injured!

When Ji Ran walked around a small mound, he saw a burly man leaning against a big rock and catching his breath.

The man was at least two meters tall, with a sturdy body. He sat there half-asleep, like a dormant black pig. A patch of his armor was torn, revealing his fat. The scars covering his flesh were incredibly hideous.

Not far from him, an old mandrill covered in mud and with indigo skin, had three or four holes as thick as arms poked in it, and collapsed limply on the ground.

A gun as thick as a baby's arm was broken, and he was now using the gun head to cut the broken handle.

"Ok?"

Hearing the noise, he looked up suddenly, and saw Ji Ran's face lit up with joy. He asked, "Captain Ji?"

"You're not dead?"

"No."

This person was none other than his immediate superior, the renowned "Vicious Tiger" Chen Chu in the army!
This time, as a captain of the Zhechou army, he led only two captains of the Demon-Slaying Army and selected 200 skilled soldiers. However, he had bad luck and ran into the Southern Han army as soon as he entered.

At this moment, Chen Chu put down the work in his hands, but his expression was a little evasive.

"I will take you back... alive."

"What are you doing back?"

Ji Ran said calmly, "Go to the military court for punishment?"

"That……"

Bang!

A wooden box rolled to Chen Chu's side.

"This is?"

"South Sea pearls."

Chen Chu opened it immediately and looked at the pearls in the box, his eyes widened instantly.

"Excellent!"

One of those big, shiny pearls was enough to pay nearly a thousand soldiers a month's salary!
Although the Southern Han uprising was in full swing, it was naturally difficult to sell domestic treasures. However, the nearby Later Tang was undergoing a regime change. Although there was no war, there was serious internal strife, which was a good opportunity to dump these treasures.

"Captain Chen."

"Ok?"

Ji Ran said sincerely, "The general treats you like his own son. Are you willing to return empty-handed?"

Chen Chu shook his head. If he went back like this, how would he have the face to see General Zhao Wu?

"Then pack up and help me get enough military pay!"

Chen Chu was stunned, looked around, and said, "The two of us?"

"Three people!"

In the back, Wang Xian had been listening to the noise and now came forward.

The moonlight is like fog, and the silver light is like the tide.

Chen Chu supported the broken spear and slowly stood up, saying, "Captain Ji, you are so brave!"

"My life is worth dying for if I can bring back a hundred or eighty pearls like these."

"But...where should we go to search for treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran pointed to his feet and said, "No treasure hunt." "Huh?"

"Find someone first!"

……

"Looking for someone! Looking for someone!"

In the dim dawn, a team of yellow horses galloped along a mountain path.

On horseback was a Southern Han fire chief holding a spear, followed by eight or nine Han soldiers, who were flying towards a village with a grim smile!

This small mountain village has only about a hundred households, and smoke is rising from several of them.

But when this small team rushed in, it was as if they pressed the play button for this quiet village. Sharp wails and roaring laughter, accompanied by the dawn in the sky, ignited the entire village.

……

Pfft!

Bang!
A soldier rushed into Ichigo's house and saw only an elderly woman holding a winnowing basket.

On the winnowing basket, there was grain covered with green hair mixed with tree bark and weeds, and it was about to be poured into the boiling water in the pot.

"what!"

Old Ji, whose face wrinkled into a ball, was so frightened by the sudden intrusion that he dropped the dustpan to the ground.

When she saw who was coming, she trembled even more and kowtowed repeatedly!
"Master Jun, there's no one home!"

"My son served in the army before and came back with both legs broken."

The soldier looked at the man on the bed, his eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed, "Don't worry, we're not here to take you for forced labor."

The old woman's face lit up when she heard this. She immediately raised her head, revealing her bruised forehead, and said, "Then..."

Bang!
Before she could say anything, a big hand like a palm-leaf fan clasped her shriveled face!

"This time, we're here to capture the rebels! Hehehe——"

Then he picked up the old woman and threw her headfirst into the boiling water!
"Ahhhhh!!!!"

On the bed, the man with the broken leg stared with his eyes wide open! He suddenly turned over and fell off the bed, his voice hoarse!

"Oh my god!"

"brute!!!"

Pfft!

The next moment, the soldier chopped off the man's head with his knife and said with a fierce grin, "Another rebel!"

Immediately, he grabbed the bloody head and walked out.

"Ok?"

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the soldier noticed the quietness of the surrounding environment.

What about the sound?
Da da da--

A yellow horse ran by in shock, and on its back lay a plump woman with her throat cut, lying naked. What made the soldier tense was that the woman had a severed hand!
The severed hand, which was covered with armor, was neatly severed by some sharp weapon and was still steaming in the early morning.

whoosh-

At this moment, a surging sound of breaking through the air was heard!

Bang!
The soldier just wanted to turn around and raise his hand to defend himself, but he was suddenly sent flying and slammed hard into the earthen wall behind him!

boom--

The person was silent in an instant.

Tick ​​tock!

The sky finally turned pale and a white line appeared, which sprinkled on the hanging blood dripping stone, like jade and pearls.

The Han army's chief of fire didn't even have time to use his ghost transformation before a broken spear as thick as a baby's arm pierced through his arm, then tore his visor apart and pierced his face!
The entire face was blown into a bloody hole by the terrifying force!
A man as strong as a city wall walked out holding a blood-stained gun, his face dark and ugly.

A figure in purple armor came from another direction, blood dripping from the knife he was holding.

The two people were Ji Ran and Chen Chu.

It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!

The two of them, along with Wang Xian, had originally intended to gather up any Red Army soldiers they could find. However, they didn't manage to find a single defeated soldier, and instead encountered two massacres of the entire village!
Kill the good and take credit!
Ji Ran took a deep breath and said, "Did you hear that just now?"

Chen Chu nodded fiercely, but his face was ferocious and his flesh was trembling.

"Straight thief!"

"These bastards killed two hundred of us. How dare they claim they wiped out a whole Zhechoufu of the Red Army, two thousand men!"

"This is... using our family's name to take civilians as heads in exchange for military merit!"
