The women in the car screamed in surprise when they saw Zhao Rong leap out.
"Zhao Rong, run!" Miss Lili cried out. "The Black Mountain Old Demon eats people, bones and all! You're no match for it!"
Xuelian said through her tears, "Brother Zhao Rong jumped out to save us! He's deliberately luring the Black Mountain Old Demon away!"
Yu Lan also wept as she watched him. "Zhao Rong... it looks like you're going to die in the Black Mountain Old Demon's jaws tonight."
The Black Mountain Old Demon, for its part, was supremely confident. It believed that the short, scrawny Zhao Rong, who looked as if he didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, would be an effortless meal. In fact, the demon had already decided Zhao Rong would be its midnight snack.
Just as the Black Mountain Old Demon pounced, in the blink of an eye, Zhao Rong whipped a can of pepper spray out of his pocket. He sprayed it directly into the Black Mountain Old Demon's eyes, nose, and mouth.
