Chapter 263 An Accidental Change
Monoclonius was scorned. It was furious and couldn’t bear the contempt.
It screamed with open eyes and yelled, “Bolide, don’t talk wildly. Your little skill is not worthy of my attention. You are just arrogant. I advise you to understand that here is my territory, and it is Sage’s arrangement. It’s you who should go. If you don’t listen to me, I will take some action. Once I start, it will be too late for you to regret it.”
Bolide’s heart was filled with anger, its eyes flashed red, and it stared at Monoclonius fiercely, cursing, “Damn thing, how dare you be so rampant! How could you think that I will be afraid of you? Well, I’m going to let you know what the outcome of opposing me is. Go to hell!”
Bolide yelled, fluttered its wings and held down the opponent’s momentum with its dominance.
Monoclonius refused to admit being inferior and leaped up to meet it. The striking thud sounded continuously again.
Their eyes turned red because of the fighting, and they shouted and couldn’t beat each other.
After fighting hard, they stepped aside again, preparing for the next attack.
Zhang Yunyan woke up from the shock. She couldn’t wait to die here, and she must run away while the two fierce gods killed each other.
She didn’t have the ability to fight with the two monsters. She should flee if she could. Although she had no hope for survival, she would never give up, and she still had to fight for it.
Seeing the two monsters killing each other and having no time to care about them, Zhang Yunyan hurried to Shen Xiaoyan, held her hand and ran. They entered the courtyard through the gap in the high wall.
It seemed that her wish of revenge had not disappeared, and she still wanted to get rid of Living Yama’s descendants.
Shen Xiaoyan was terrified and unable to control herself. She was pulled into the courtyard by Zhang Yunyan.
Monoclonius and Bolide were fighting fiercely, and crackling sounds were heard from time to time. They roared and thumped with flaming eyes and uncontrollable anger.
It seemed that the two monsters would never give up until they kill their enemy.
The two monsters had no time to care about Zhang Yunyan and Shen Xiaoyan. They must first kill the strong enemy in front of them, and then go to deal with the two preys.
Outside the courtyard wall, a large area of bamboo forest had been destroyed, and the evil beast and the raptor were killing desperately, which was terrifying and thrilling.
In the courtyard, all the rooms were dark with no lights and deadly quiet, probably because they were afraid of attracting fierce monsters.
There was no shadow of activity outside, and there was no sound. The insects were shocked by the roaring and slaughtering sounds and didn’t dare to move. Everything was terrified.
Zhang Yunyan didn’t hesitate and quickly entered the last courtyard.
Shen Xiaoyan was frightened and followed her closely.
There was no one in the yard, which was very quiet.
Zhang Yunyan came to the front of the main room and listened, but there was still no sound. She could not help but frown. Could those children have left here?
She didn’t give up, and asked Shen Xiaoyan to wait in the yard. She went in alone to check. She pushed the door, which had been plugged in, and realized something. It seemed that there was someone in the house.
Yunyan snorted angrily and cursing secretly, “Living Yama, I will exterminate your family!”
She pulled out the steel knife and went under the window, cut off the window lattice and went into the house.
There were noises and shouts in the room, and the children cried again.
In the dark, Zhang Yunyan saw the shaking figure but could not distinguish it clearly.
She asked, “Who are you? Turn on the lights!”
Then, there was a trembling voice of a woman, “I… I’m a servant of Yan Mansion, here… They are all children…”
A woman lit the oil lamp and looked at Zhang Yunyan in horror. She saw a blood-stained person holding a steel knife, who was as terrifying as the fierce god, and she was scared, backed aside, and was too terrified to speak.
With the lights in the room, everything was revealed.
There were two women in the house, who looked about forty years old. The rest were children, and there were boys and girls. The older ones were five or six years old, and the younger ones were two or three years old. There were totally eight of them.
Zhang Yunyan asked, “Are these children descendants of Yan Xiaopeng?”
“No, they… They are children of the outer village.”
The woman looked at the terrible fierce god. Her body trembled and she was thrilled.
Zhang Yunyan hesitated and yelled, “Don’t lie to me. How can the children in the outer village live in Yan Mansion? Let’s be honest.”
“I… I didn’t lie to you. These children are indeed not from the Yan family. It was Master Yan who sent people to catch… No, to find them from other places… Please, please don’t hurt the poor children.”
She was really afraid that the “fierce god” in front of her would take action. Not only would she die, the children would not survive.
Zhang Yunyan saw that the children were wearing ordinary clothes, and some of which were patched. They really did not look like the children of rich people.
Being confused, she immediately asked, “What is Living Yama doing to catch these kids?”
“I heard that Master Yan prepared this for Jiuyou Sage. I don’t know what they would do with these children. It wouldn’t be something good.”
Zhang Yunyan realized that they did not lie. These children were boys and girls prepared for the old devil to concoct pills of immortality.
She got angry again. She scolded fiercely and asked, “How many children did Living Yama catch, and where are they?”
“There are more than forty of them, and they all live here. Miss, you… Who are you? Did you come here… Are you looking for lost children?”
“I’m here to take revenge. To tell you the truth, Yan Xiaopeng has been killed by me.”
The two women heard the words and screamed. They knew that something terrible had happened from the bloodstains all over Yunyan’s clothes, and they screamed in fear, asking for survival.
Zhang Yunyan hurriedly soothed them and called Shen Xiaoyan into the room.
They felt relieved when they saw Xiaoyan.
Zhang Yunyan went to look at each room. The children were here, and they were taken care of by several servant.
Seeing these children being caught, she could not help but think of her helpless and lonely childhood, and sighed secretly. By contrast, these children were even more miserable, and if they were not rescued, they would die in the hands of Jiuyou Sage.
She couldn’t watch the children being killed tragically, and she must rescue them.
Zhang Yunyan knew that it was extremely difficult to save the children. Monoclonius and Bolide were grappling with each other. Once these children showed up, the weird bird and monster would be attracted, and the children would die miserably.
Besides, she was mediocre and unable to run away with these naive children.
The reality was too cruel and couldn’t be avoided, but these children must be saved.
However, she had no ability to fight against the two monsters, and there was no way to save the children. What could she do?
Zhang Yunyan frowned and felt anxious. She kept rushing around like the ants in a hot pot.
Shen Xiaoyan was still in terror. She already had no ability to protect herself. In the face of these children, she felt pathetic and heartbroken. She didn’t know what to do.
Yan Xiaopeng was dead. Those women had no scruples and wept for the misfortune of these children. They hoped that Zhang Yunyan could rescue them and let these unfortunate children go back to their families.
They were scared to death by the sound of killing and were unable to take care of these children.
Outside, the fierce assault continued, and the sound of roaring and beating flew up high into the night sky and shocked the earth.
Inside the room, it became quiet. The oil lamp had gone out, and it was dark, but the darkness couldn’t cover the fear and anxiety.
Zhang Yunyan was eagerly thinking. She was incapable of reversing in the perilous situation that she was in, and she could not escape from death. How could she rescue these poor children?
Just now, she was chased by Monoclonius into a dead end and nearly died. Now there was Bolide, she had no hope to live at all.
Yunyan wanted to rescue the children while the two monsters were fighting, but she was immediately discouraged when she thought of Monoclonius, who had a strong perceptivity.
She knew how powerful the monster was. Although it was in a fight with Bolide at this time and couldn’t deal them, it kept an eye on them all the time.
Zhang Yunyan knew that Monoclonius could perceive her every move and it just couldn’t deal with her for a while. Once changes occurred, it would react quickly. If she fled with the children, Monoclonius would abandon Bolide and hunt them down.
This is the task appointed by Jiuyou Sage. It must complete it without making any errors.
If Monoclonius hunted them down, Bolide would follow them, and the evil bird would not let go of the poor children. Not to mention that Yunyan and Xiaoyan would die, these young lives would die in the hands of the two monsters.
Zhang Yunyan was alone and very helpless. She had no ability to rescue the children. In the face of these lovely little lives, she couldn’t ignore them. It was a dilemma.
She didn’t give up. As long as she was alive, she must think of an idea. Even if it was a solution that was not practical, she also had to try it and work hard for it.
Zhang Yunyan heard the servants said that Monoclonius had been in this house, and Jiuyou Sage had sent it to guard these children. Her judgment was confirmed.
She remembered that after being caught by Red Hair King Ghost tonight, the devil asked Yan Xiaopeng if Monoclonius was doing his due diligence, which showed how much the devil valued these children.
Monoclonius obeyed Jiuyou Sage and guarded in the front yard and backyard. No one was allowed to enter. Naturally, she and Shen Xiaoyan could not escape, nor could the children escape.
Once the monster finished the fighting, she and Xiaoyan would surely die.
Zhang Yunyan was meditating on how to save the children. Suddenly, it was quiet outside, and the silence after the fierce battle was even more thrilling.
What happened? Did Monoclonius die? Or was Bolide dead?
Yunyan listened in horror, and she was also skeptical. She hoped that the two fierce gods would have killed each other, so that she could safely escape from the horrible “hell” with the children.
She was very nervous and afraid, and her fast-beating heart had already come up to her throat.
Yunyan had no doubt that if Monoclonius was still alive, it would rush in. Then she and Xiaoyan would die in the belly of the monster.
In the dark night, Shen Xiaoyan opened her eyes widely in fear, looking the darkness of the house. She was asking quietly, naturally she couldn’t get any answer.
Zhang Yunyan didn’t know what was going on outside, so she had to check it out and make a decision.
If Bolide died or escaped, Monoclonius would come to deal with the two of them; if Monoclonius was dead and Bolide was still alive, whether the evil bird would come to kill these young lives was still unknown.
Zhang Yunyan hoped that both monsters were dead, or Monoclonius was dead and Bolide had left here, so the children could have hope to survive, and she and Xiaoyan could also escape.
Time was tight and she couldn’t delay. She must act now, and then act depending on the situation.
Zhang Yunyan asked Xiaoyan to wait here. She left the room alone with the steel knife to find out the situation as soon as possible in order to act.
