The Soul Is In Everything Chapter 4

The evil demon looked strange, and in this dim alley lit only by moonlight, it looked even more terrifying. Max spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and looked at Lucas, who was standing in front of him with thin arms and legs. He felt a sense of despair in his heart. He didn't expect that he, an outstanding disciple of the Qingxiao Sect, would die in this broken alley, and even after death, he would be ripped out of his heart and lungs by the evil demon.

No, didn’t he stop Lucas behind him? How come she ran in front of him in the blink of an eye?

It's already this time, and you're still thinking about being a hero?

"Don't try so hard. You've vomited a bowl of blood. Aren't you tired of standing?" Lucas looked back at Max and pointed at the stone steps next to him. "Is it not good to sit down?"

Sit on your sister? You are almost dead, why are you still sitting?

Max was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood. Does this little monster know what danger is? Just as he was thinking this, the evil monster on the opposite side suddenly changed its hands into claws, and the sharp claws attacked Lucas's chest at such a speed that he didn't even have the chance to scream.

The next second, he felt his weight lighten and his belt was hooked by something. When he came to his senses, the person was already standing on the wall.

"The rules here are to be civilized and set new trends. Fighting over a disagreement is not in line with the rules." Lucas held Max like a little chicken. Max looked down at the loose wall under his feet and didn't dare to move. If the wall collapsed, he would be criticized when he returned.

Forget it, being able to go back and be criticized at this time is already a blessing in life. Thinking of this, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, took out a bunch of talismans from his arms, and said to Lucas, "You go and call for help, I'll stop him here."

Lucas glanced at the talisman in Max's hand. Not only have humans simplified their characters now, but they have also simplified their talismans? How can they not draw them in full? How much power can they have left?

No wonder the current slogan of mankind is to develop the country through science and technology. As for the lazy behavior of the cultivation world who only draws talismans, if anything big really happens, we can't rely on them.

"I don't have any helpers," Lucas threw Max outside the wall and said to him condescendingly, "You go call for help, I'll hold the fort here."

"Don't leave." Seeing that the two humans actually treated him as nothing, Griffin flew forward and went straight for Lucas's vital point. Lucas saw him coming, and he jumped down the wall like a swallow, and picked up Max with one hand, "Forget it, let's run away together."

As soon as Max heard the word "escape" and opened his mouth, he was filled with a mouthful of wind. He felt like he was a pendant on Lucas's body, being carried around and jumped at such a fast speed that he almost vomited.

This Lucas, whose real form is a rabbit, can jump so fast?

Every time when the evil spirit was about to catch up with them, Lucas would just avoid its attack. Max went from screaming in the beginning to being silent later. There was the sound of the wind whistling in his ears and the bright crescent moon above his head. Max had never been so fearless of life and death as at this moment.

Just when Max thought Lucas would continue running down, he stopped and threw Max to the ground.

Max lay on the cold ground, raised his head and looked around. Behind him was a not very clean river, and around him was a wasteland. Very good, if the two of them died here, there was at least one benefit, at least it would not cause panic among ordinary people.

"Run, why don't you run?"

The evil monster's voice was not very pleasant and had a local accent. At this time, Max was thinking that this must not be a local monster.

"Griffin, why don't you stay in your Xiaoci Mountain? Why did you run out?" Lucas waved his hand, and the hat on Griffin's head fell to the ground, revealing his white head. A human-like face grew on the white hairy head, which was indescribably terrifying.

When Max heard the word "Griffin", he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. Isn't this a monster that exists in the legend? How could it really exist in the world?

Griffin didn't expect that someone would recognize him now. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Lucas for a long time, confirming that he had never seen this monster before. He laughed strangely and said, "You know it's me, and you still dare to run?"

In mythology, Griffin is a famous evil god, and demons flee when they see him. As a cultivator, Max has naturally heard of the legend about Griffin. Now he is not moving, and is ready to change to a comfortable position to wait for death.

"Aren't you the one who's good at running?" Lucas showed a puzzled look on his face, as if he was discussing something with Griffin very seriously, "Have you forgotten your true nature after all these years?"

Lucas's words reminded Griffin of the days when he was bullied by the ancient monster and had to hide from others. He shouted, "Who are you?"

"I'm just an unknown little demon who happened to have heard the story of King Griffin." Lucas looked down at Max who was lying motionless on the ground, touched the reward for his bravery in his pocket, and decided that he should be a good demon who knows how to repay kindness.

"The spiritual energy in the human world is turbid. Why did the king abandon Xiaoci Mountain and come here to eat people?"

"Xiaoci Mountain, what Xiaoci Mountain is there?" Griffin was furious. "I just went to the sea to travel for a few days, and when I came back, Xiaoci Mountain was hollowed out by the two-legged beasts. Even my red copper and white jade bed was not spared!"

Lucas looked down at Max, who covered his face and remained silent. This was none of his business.

"The two-legged beasts destroyed my territory, so I ate their hearts and livers. It's only natural."

"I don't think this matter has anything to do with this human, why don't you give me some face and let this matter go..."

"Giving you face? There are many little demons who have fawned on me over the years, but I have never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you. Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to give you face?" Griffin said sarcastically, "Anyway, the two-legged beast has caused me to lose my bottom line, so I am going to eat him up!"

"Originally, I think that humans are at fault in this matter. I will compensate you with some things on behalf of humans, and you can just hide in the mountains in peace." Lucas rolled up his shirt sleeves, "But you don't give me face, so I'm not very happy."

"Hahahahaha." Griffin just thought it was ridiculous. "You are just an insignificant little demon. Even if this king doesn't give you face, what can you do?"

Max saw Lucas suddenly jump up on the spot. Before he could see the other party's movements clearly, Griffin was knocked away and fell into the sewage river with a loud noise.

Big, big boss?

"Take this and tie him up." Lucas stuffed a whip into Max's hand.

Max took the half-worn whip and rushed into the sewage river without looking back. After a while, he tied up Griffin. Looking at Griffin who followed him obediently, Max couldn't help but wonder, is this really the legendary beast?

Smelling the stench on Max, Lucas took two steps back. It seemed that the decision to let this human tie up Griffin was a wise one.

"I didn't know that you were an ancient demon. I was blind and didn't recognize you. Please forgive me." The first thing Max said after getting ashore was to apologize to Lucas.

Lucas looked at him in confusion: "What ancient demon? I can only control him with this demon whip."

"Aren't you... an ancient demon?" Max observed Lucas with doubt. Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Then what's the matter with your demon whip?"

"Oh, this." Lucas said casually, "There were two demon kings fighting before, one was beaten to death and the other was struck to death by lightning, so I picked it up by the way."

Max: ...

That's quite convenient.

Griffin, who was tied up by the whip, let out a painful hoarse sound. Because of the whip, he revealed his true appearance. A snow-white head, a monkey-like body, four red legs, kneeling on the ground and grinning.

"As a demon, you are in league with the two-legged beasts." It stared at Lucas with red eyes, and opened its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth. "The king of my demon race will eventually wake up and take back the land that belongs to us."

The moon in the sky was half hidden behind the clouds. Max didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the moonlight seemed to emit a faint red color.

"Stop imagining things." Lucas knocked heavily on Griffin's hairy head, "The feudal imperial society has been overthrown long ago, so there is no emperor anymore. Monsters like you who came from the deep mountains and forests are just ignorant. Don't you know that the times are developing and society is progressing?" Although he is also a monster from the countryside, he has now begun to learn human knowledge, and has a strange sense of pride in this regard.

As soon as Lucas said this, the terrifying atmosphere created by Griffin disappeared without a trace. Max said to Griffin, "Griffin, the evil demon, because you violated the third rule of the first law of the demon world, brutally killed four humans, and violated the twelfth rule of the eighth law, eating humans; you will be arrested by the demon world management department, come with me."

Griffin sneered and disagreed. In the past, he ate thousands of people, and these two-legged beasts still obediently offered sacrifices.

"Hey, wait a minute." Lucas called out to Max.

"Don't worry, our department will return the Demon-Slaying Whip to you after Griffin is imprisoned." Although Max thought that the Demon-Slaying Whip was a rare thing, he had no intention of stealing the magic weapon.

"Who cares about this?" Lucas waved his hand. "What I mean is, I helped you tonight. Will there be... a bonus or something?"

Max was silent for two seconds: "Don't worry, I will apply for it for you."

"That's good." Lucas felt relieved.

After all, tonight wasn't a wasted night.

At this moment, a girl named Mia walked out of the police station with her friend. She took out the secretly taken photos on her mobile phone and opened a social software, hoping to use the Internet to find the kind person who helped her and her friend.

In the photo, the young man in a shirt cannot hide his handsome appearance even when he is sitting in a food stall.

Mia's Weibo post about looking for someone was reposted by the local police's public Weibo account, which praised his helpful behavior and called on male compatriots to respect women.

In less than two days, this Weibo post attracted the attention of many netizens, and many people were speculating who this young man who called himself Lei Feng was.

"Xiao Hu, push this truck of cement over here, hurry up!"

"Okay." Lucas pulled the cart and ran very fast all the way, and the dust on the construction site was everywhere.
