The Fire Snake Demon

Hong Xiao did not feel Feng Huang being frightened after seeing his mother. Everyone would run away if they saw that. Even he himself was initially very afraid and wanted to kill the woman. But in the end realize, his mother will not do evil to anyone. This was the first time, there was a person who was truly unafraid of that woman.

"Hey young man, aren't you afraid to see me?" ask the woman who is full of blackish blue. His face was almost the same as Huo Feng Huang when he had just absorbed the Ancient Dragon Mustika.

"Ah, no. Maybe I'm too tired to feel afraid," replied Feng Huang l3mah. He looked at the scary-faced woman with ordinary eyes. There is no surprise or fear.

"It's the first time ... there's a first time anyone isn't afraid of my mom." Hong Xiao brought in Feng Huang and laid him on the bed.

Feng Huang's body was indeed tired from the journey being so long. But it all paid off in the end. Being able to live and be saved by others, was already a fortune to him.

While the creepy-faced woman made food and medicinal decoction so that Huo Feng Huang's stamina recovered. And Hong Xiao brought a change of clothes for Feng Huang. Incidentally the size of their clothes is the same because the height is almost the same.

"You put on my clothes first. After this, you can rest first. I'll get you some food and medicine." Hong Xiao placed his clothes next to Feng Huang. Because he was sure the man could do it himself.

Huo Feng Huang got up from the bed and took off his clothes while sitting down. "Thank you for helping me. I don't know what I can do for you. Maybe by helping out with a few things."

"Ah, no problem for me. You just change your clothes and let your body rest. Some days the weather is very hot. Maybe today there will be a demon coming. You know, the fire snake demon really likes hot air. They are attacking the people cruelly. Then you should run away from this village immediately. Maybe tomorrow he'll come again. Because I brought someone in just now."

"The fire snake, huh?" Feng Huang's face was no longer surprised. He was wearing the clothes given by Hong Xiao. He thought the demon was a snake that could control fire.

"You're not surprised anymore? Are you used to seeing the unnatural? Lately something like that has happened. Don't know where they came from. We only fight with our weak forces. Oh, I talk too much. I should have taken some food for you. See you soon."

Hong Xiao left the room and thought about Feng Huang who was not even surprised by the strange happenings in that place. Though he himself felt strange and afraid because he imagined the shape of the fire snake demon. With a blackish-red face and fire could be spouted from his mouth.

"This guy is very strange. Not like the one who first saw a demon, is it? Is there something like this in his place?" Hong Xiao shook his head slowly. Then go to the kitchen to see the food.

"Hong 'er. The porridge is almost ripe. You just wait there. I think my new friend is pretty good. He did not look at me with fear. I remember, he was even like an ordinary person seeing these strange things. Maybe he can help us?"

Hong Xiao did not think that what the woman said was the same as what she thought. It could be, that young man ran away from the pursuing demon and wanted to eat it. But to help them, it felt impossible.

"We can't judge people too great, Mother. After all, he is an ordinary human like us. How can we all help? If he was a demon hunter, it would be easier. But we don't know anything about that guy."

The woman shook her head slowly and let out a small sigh. How could it be that his mind had become muddled from expecting too much? He didn't even think the man was also on the run from the demons.

"You pick up the porridge and deliver it to him. I'll cook again for us to eat. And the cure will be ready soon."

"Alright, Mom. Then I'll take this to him." Hong Xiao raised the cooked porridge in the furnace. After that, he put it in a bowl. Then take him to give Huo Feng Huang.

Feng Huang closed his eyes and meditated. Sit cross-legged and feel his energy recover. With a red aura entering into her through her dantian.

Hong Xiao who saw what Feng Huang was doing. He did not even expect that there would be a practitioner in front of his eyes. He heard, the martial practitioners could drain the qi energy within him and arrange it as healing or adding strength.

"It turns out I saved a martial artist. Maybe I can ask him for help? But how do you say it?" muttered Hong Xiao. But he did not know, his strength was able or not to defeat the dozens of demons.

"Hehh, I will help you and the residents here. I think I can defeat those demons. Although they do not know what they are like. So, can you tell me?"

If there was even a little hope, it would be enough for him. Because it was impossible to defeat the fire snake demon without hope.

"I don't think you need any more medicine. But I guess I should keep eating. Try this porridge," Hong Xiao said, putting the porridge on the table.

"Thank you for your help. I think you and your mom are good people. It's possible that I can try to cure your mother," Feng Huang said despite a slight hesitation. But he would ask later on the form of the Ancient Dragon Mustika.

"Thank you for your good intentions. Then, I'll tell you about the fire snake demon. Perhaps no one expected it, the fire snake demon came with his army of dozens. Each day will take one person chosen by their leader. Whether it's a man or a woman, they were taken and some were even killed in front of us ...."

The number of victims continues to fall every day. The arrival of the fire snake demon gave rise to a hot aura around the village. The village on the coast was already consumed by rumors that all happened due to the actions of Song Li Wei. A woman who had discovered a mustika from the sea while working as a fisherman.

Song Li Wei thought the Ancient Dragon Mustika could be sold or worn as jewelry. He even deliberately swallowed the mustika because someone wanted to be seized by someone. As a result, his face turned blackish blue and had a pair of horns. It was also what people thought the arrival of the demons was related to it.

Although the fire snake demon had nothing to do with the Ancient Dragon Mustika. For their coming is to attain immortality by eating the soul of man. They will eat humans twice a month. That is why they will only take one person every day. Because of their ample amount of eating only one for two weeks. Sometimes they also do not come or can bring two to four people to eat. Because it is uncertain their arrival, but every time they are in a coastal village, the air will feel hot.
