Chapter 6: Survivor Squad_1

```

Red Moon World.

At the edge of Jin Town, on a muddy path.

The giant serpent 'Yibai' appeared out of thin air here.

He was gasping for breath, his mouth wide open.

Who would understand?

The feeling of being constantly pressed by a gigantic mountain.

He could hold on for a moment or two,

But as time dragged on, who could bear it?

When Yibai realized he couldn't destroy Shi Gandang, he decisively chose to flee to the Red Moon World.

After he arrived in the Red Moon World, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Shi Gandang..."

"Just one Shi Gandang pressed me down to this extent; the Immortal Cultivation Realm is too dangerous."

Yibai couldn't fathom just how deep the waters of the Immortal Cultivation Realm were.

Humans want to kill demons, and demons also want to kill demons.

As for how to be a good demon...

"It's still better to take a look around the Red Moon World first. Going back to that deep pool is too suffocating."

Yibai felt a deep sense of helplessness.

He lifted his snake head, looking all around.

The place he was currently in was that little path from before.

He was still near a small village on the outskirts of Jin Town in the Red Moon World.

"Let's go check out this village first. Now that I have achieved sentience, my strength should be enough to not fear first or even second-order monsters."

"This little village shouldn't have any monsters that can harm me!"

Yibai swaggered towards the same village as yesterday.

He didn't want to be cautious any longer.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it was suffocating enough to be suppressed by a piece of Shi Gandang.

Would he have to be so timid and compliant in a small village in the Red Moon World?

Impossible!

He, today, would strike hard!

Well, limited to this small village.

Once out of this village, he would deny ever saying these words.

...

On the small path to the village, Yibai moved swiftly and silently, like an assassin in the dark night, his vertical pupils shining coldly, as if declaring that he was a predator at the top of the food chain.

It wasn't long before he arrived near the village.

But once he got close to the village,

he witnessed a somewhat eerie scene.

Near the entrance of the village, three bodies were lying haphazardly scattered.

These bodies were all children, and their bellies had been slit open; they died in a horrific manner.

A rather coincidental matter.

Yibai recognized these three bodies.

'Aren't these the three kids I let go last night?' he thought.

Yibai felt somewhat frustrated.

He even carefully named these escaped little demons, A'Niu, A'Gou, A'Ma.

His original intention was to come back and eat these little demon children after some time.

He never expected them to die so soon.

Thump thump thump...

An unusual frequency travelled into Yibai's ears from the ground.

'Hmm? Fighting sounds ahead?'

A flicker of light, hardly noticeable, shimmered in Yibai's pupils.

He remembered that these monsters would imitate the humans' behavior from when they were alive during the day, and at night they would hunt the surviving humans.

It was daytime now.

Why would there be fighting sounds in the village?

Unless, someone had attacked these monsters.

Yibai twisted his serpent body and shot towards the village ahead like an arrow from a bow, the scenery on both sides rapidly receding.

```

...

At the edge of the village.

Several humans were fighting fiercely against dozens of monsters.

These monsters spat out octopus tentacles, had bat wings growing from their backs, or were covered in the limbs of wild beasts, emitting bloodthirsty cries as they charged at the humans.

All of these humans used methods that were very unscientific.

Spitting fire, wielding water, possessing immense strength.

All these supernatural methods were employed in their defense.

Yet even with their special abilities, being surrounded by dozens of monsters, they had no chance to escape.

The only question was how long it would take before they were completely slaughtered.

"No, we can't keep going like this!"

Among the humans, one burly man cast a sinister look at a companion next to him.

The next moment, the burly man swung the great blade in his hand, chopping at his companion beside him.

Instantly, the companion let out a cry of pain as blood spurted wildly and his body fell straight down.

The smell of blood permeated the air.

In an instant, the gazes of dozens of monsters were fixated on the fallen man.

In just a fraction of time, dozens of monsters rushed at the man, dismembering his body and devouring his organs with various means.

The man, having been struck by the blade, did not suffer a fatal wound, but with dozens of monsters attacking, he had no strength to resist and could only watch helplessly as they tore him apart.

His head eventually fell to the ground, the eyes wide open with disbelief.

A scene of extreme terror unfolded on the small path at the village's edge.

The few survivors looked incredulously at the burly man who had just swung his blade at his own teammate.

This man was the captain of their squad.

The captain had struck his own teammate with a blade...

"Hurry up, we need to live, someone has to be sacrificed, don't waste our time for nothing!"

The captain spoke with an exceptionally cold and sinister tone.

After speaking, he turned and ran without a moment's hesitation.

The remaining people exchanged glances, but eventually, they followed their captain.

But one person wasn't enough for dozens of monsters to feast on.

In just a blink of an eye, dozens of monsters had caught up with the squad of human survivors once again.

The captain looked back at his few teammates, his great blade swinging once more.

But he wasn't targeting the monsters; he was aiming at his own teammates.

The blade in the captain's hand streaked across, its chill light flashing.

One of the chubby teammates received a gash on his knee, and with that, he fell to the ground.

"Fatty!"

Two members of the squad shouted in alarm upon seeing Fatty fall.

Then they clenched their teeth, came to a halt, and stood protectively in front of Fatty.

Seeing this, the captain didn't care at all and just scoffed coldly, continuing his escape at full speed.

Soon, only Fatty and the two teammates by his side remained on the field.

"Chen Chu, Wang Yue, go on without me, I can't escape, that bastard has cut off my leg..."

Fatty yelled in pain.

Despite his words, the desperate desire to live was clearly visible in his eyes.

"No, if we go, we go together..."

"We are not that bastard of a captain, we won't betray our comrades; we will drag you with us!"

The two companions shook their heads decisively, their bodies trembling, but still they gathered their weapons, ready to face the attack of the dozens of monsters.

Just as the monsters were about to strike.

A massive green snake suddenly rushed into the fray.

The moment the giant snake appeared.

Everything went quiet.

Both the monsters and the three humans were simultaneously struck dumb.

The monsters froze entirely because they felt an immense threat emanating from the green snake 'Yibai', and those that had developed some intelligence were wary of Yibai.

As for the three people, their stupor stemmed from the sheer intimidation of Yibai's massive, six to seven zhang-long serpentine body.

The first thought that crossed their minds upon seeing Yibai.

Was an involuntary pairing of words.

Demon!!!
