Chapter 354: The Tragedy of Humanity, the Evil Blood Baby
"This…"
In the livestream, when the village engulfed in flames came into view, the human tragedy unfolding there made everyone in the livestream room immediately change their expressions to one of horror.
The once peaceful village had been destroyed.
Houses were toppled everywhere, with blood-soaked corpses either sprawled inside the collapsed buildings or lying in front of them.
Many houses had also been set on fire, burning with thick, rising smoke.
Earlier, when the camera was high up, the "rising smoke" seen coming from the ground was actually the thick smoke from these burning houses.
However, the destruction of the village was secondary.
What was truly enraging was that amidst the cries of pain and frantic shouts, several evil soul masters dressed in blood-red robes were laughing wildly and chasing down the remaining villagers.
Whenever one of these evil soul masters saw a villager, they would maliciously smile and strike the person down.
Then, they would either grab the villager by the neck, lift them up, and bite into their neck, draining the villager's blood while turning the body into a dried corpse amidst their screams of agony.
Or they would reach their hands into the villager's chest, pulling out the ribs with a grotesque smile, chewing on them as if eating crunchy bones in front of the villager, while they screamed in pain.
…
"These beasts!!"
In the livestream, seeing the evil soul masters recklessly kill, burn, and loot in the village, harming innocent civilians and using their blood, bones, and flesh to increase their own soul power, anyone with a bit of conscience felt an intense rage rise within them.
These evil soul masters were nothing but beasts!
They ruthlessly harmed unarmed civilians—if only they were in front of these evil soul masters, they wouldn't hesitate to rip their heads off!
But the tragedy in the livestream was far from over.
The camera revealed that, in addition to slaughtering the villagers, some of these evil soul masters were also capturing babies.
Seeing the evil soul masters recklessly slaughter the parents of these babies and then steal the infants amidst the babies' loud cries, everyone in the livestream felt a deep mix of anger and heartache.
Damn! What are these evil soul masters doing with the babies they steal?
Although it seemed everyone had an inkling of what might be happening based on the actions of these evil soul masters, no one dared to think in that direction.
Because that would be far too cruel!
But what happened next confirmed everyone's worst fears.
While the evil soul masters continued their massacre in the village, they gathered five babies. A group of them immediately took to the sky, heading toward the edge of the village.
Outside the village, under a large tree, a small figure in a blood-red robe, clearly much shorter than the others, stood with arms crossed, seemingly waiting for the arrival of these blood-robed evil soul masters.
"Did you find the babies I wanted?"
Although facing away from the village, the small blood-robed evil soul master seemed to sense the approach of the other blood-robed evil soul masters and let out a shrill, unpleasant voice.
The voice matched the gnome-like figure quite well.
"Reporting to Lord Blood Baby, we found a total of five babies!"
As the group of blood-robed evil soul masters approached the figure known as Blood Baby, they immediately knelt down in unison.
Then, the five soul masters who had found the babies raised them up with great servility and flattery.
"Five babies?"
Upon hearing the response, the figure known as Blood Baby moved slightly and turned around, greed filling its eyes as it looked at the five evil soul masters holding up the babies.
At that moment, the livestream audience finally got a clear look at the figure of the evil soul master called Blood Baby, who seemed to be the leader of the group.
This Blood Baby was short and squat, barely standing at one meter tall. Its face, although pale and soft-looking, resembled that of an infant, much like its name.
However, this "Blood Baby" had small, beady eyes, a wide forehead, a short chin, and an expression that looked nothing like the innocent and adorable face of a baby. In fact, it was rather hideous.
Lin Yu couldn't help but think it looked a lot like the corrupted King from the old show Happy Seven Fairies, who was in a sealed state.
It was downright ugly!
But when Lin Yu heard the name "Blood Baby," his heart skipped a beat, and he fell into thought.
He remembered that, in the original novel Peerless Tangmen, there was a mention of an evil soul master named Blood Baby.
It was said that this Blood Baby needed to consume the brain matter and heart of babies in order to cultivate, and that it eventually reached the level of Title Douluo.
This was definitely bad news.
For an evil soul master who uses the brains and hearts of babies as cultivation resources, and ends up reaching the level of Title Douluo, one could only imagine how many babies were harmed!
It made Lin Yu feel disgusted by Shrek Academy. How incompetent could they be to let this Blood Baby reach the level of Title Douluo without eliminating it?
If the Spirit Hall were around, they would never allow Blood Baby to slaughter countless babies and grow to such a level!
At this point, Lin Yu's disdain for Shrek Academy only deepened.
And in the livestream, everything unfolded just as Lin Yu had feared.
After the five blood-robed evil soul masters raised the babies, Blood Baby's eyes filled with greed. It immediately released an immense amount of soul power, pulling all five babies toward it.
Then, a blinding blood-red light erupted from Blood Baby's body.
A blood-red, hideous baby with red skin, demonic feet, and sharp fangs emerged from behind Blood Baby, letting out a horrifying cry.
At the same time, eight soul rings, colored white, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, and black, rose from beneath Blood Baby and circled around it.
After summoning its martial soul, Blood Baby immediately activated the martial soul possession.
The blood-red light of the martial soul rushed into Blood Baby's body.
Although there was no change in Blood Baby's height, its skin turned blood-red, its face became as grotesque as its martial soul's, with two horns sprouting from its forehead, sharp fangs filling its mouth, and claws growing on its hands.
With a sinister and terrifying smile, Blood Baby grabbed one of the babies from the five and, amid its cries, sank its teeth into the baby's skull to begin consuming its brain.
