Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 359 - 359: Ch 359 - Time to Gather! II

“Erli, if you really had a brain for making money, you wouldn’t have only saved up a hundred silver coins after all these years…”

“What are you guys standing around for? Grab this raccoon and drag her back to keep mining!”

The bull demon clapped his hands without mercy, then gestured for his subordinates to capture Erli.

In an instant, Erli scrambled up from the ground and ran in terror.

But she was already surrounded by mine supervisors. After running in a circle, she could only hide behind Yino in fear.

“Save me… I don’t want to go back to mining…”

In this desperate moment, the little girl finally cried out for help with tears streaming down her face.

Yino saw that the timing was about right.

He smiled with amusement: “But you just lost my hundred silver coins.”

“I’m… I’m sorry… it’s, it’s all my fault…”

More and more supervisors drew their weapons and surrounded them. At this point, Erli was completely terrified and didn’t know what to say.

She could only instinctively hug the young man’s waist, refusing to leave his side.

After all…

In this northern district, he was the only one she could rely on.

“You just said a hundred silver coins would be enough to buy your freedom.”

“And now, you’ve already accepted my hundred silver coins, which means I’ve bought the ownership rights to your body from that bull-head. That’s the logic, right?”

Yino was still calmly analyzing the relationship between him and the little raccoongirl.

Erli nodded repeatedly. To save her life, she couldn’t care about whether this deal was worth it or not.

At some point, a supervisor behind them swung his club in attack.

Erli screamed in terror and quickly circled around Yino, then leaped directly into his arms.

Yino was momentarily stunned to suddenly find himself princess-carrying a little raccoon.

“Call me ‘Hero Big Brother’ one more time.”

“Hero Big Brother, save me—!!!”

The girl practically screamed through her tears.

And as the words fell, Yino finally drew his sword.

The weapons that attacked with split-second timing were dodged as he sidestepped, while terrifying sword intent suddenly surged within the young man’s body.

Dealing with these small fries was naturally no problem for Yino, who had already reached the late Core Formation stage.

However, when Yino swung his sword to behead the first supervisor, he suddenly felt the demonic evil sword in his hand surge with exhilarating killing intent—

BOOM—!!!

“I thought you said you wouldn’t strike down nobodies?” Yino asked curiously in his sea of consciousness.

[These bastards are too much of bullies! We have to kill all this trash!]

Wangziu snarled viciously.

With the sword spirit’s resentment exploding, Yino again felt a pulling force from his weapon.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly, but the following battle felt like the sword spirit had its own consciousness, with Wangyue actively pulling Yino to slice off the big bull’s horns with one strike.

In just moments of one-sided slaughter, all the supervisors including the bull demon lay on the ground.

“So you also need to eat your fill before you can work, huh…”

Yino raised his eyebrow, standing in the blood and gore, reexamining this temperamental evil sword in his hand.

Over this long period, he’d gradually figured out this sword spirit’s personality.

It seemed that ever since being contracted by him and evolving from a holy sword to its current evil sword appearance, the sword spirit’s temperament had gradually undergone subtle changes from the game’s spoiled arrogant personality.

At least… he could feel that she was much more violent than in the game, with a kind of hatred for evil that made her want to immediately carry out justice and kill opponents the moment she saw bullying.

Whatever, it’s still better than that spoiled personality from before anyway.

Thinking this, Yino casually flicked the blood off his blade.

He jumped down from the bull demon’s head, then with an elegant motion spun the sword hilt to sheath his weapon. Turning around with a smile, he beckoned to the little raccoongirl who was standing there stunned:

“Erli, follow your hero big brother. I can take you away from here now.”

As he said this, Yino put his hands on his hips and proudly lifted his chin slightly.

This was Erli’s first time witnessing such bloody, violent scenes in her life.

The bull demon supervisor she’d feared for so many years—she never imagined his thick-skinned, tough body couldn’t withstand even one slash from this young man’s sword!

“Thank, thank you for saving me! I, I’m coming right now…!”

Erli nodded obediently and quickly ran over to take Yino’s hand.

The little girl was being extremely well-behaved now. Even when Yino had played the game in his previous life, he’d never experienced being the protagonist with a girl holding his hand and acting like such an obedient little follower.

After all… The game’s plot was pretty dumbed-down.

In the original, Chen Jianxin was tied up by Erli and that cultist and dragged to the mine to be handed over to the bull demon as forced labor.

Then, while Chen Jianxin was detained, he witnessed the greedy bull demon snatch away the jade pendant that Erli had stolen from Chen Jianxin. When Erli protested, the bull demon punched her hard in the stomach, leaving her curled up on the ground trembling and spitting blood.

At that time, even though Chen Jianxin was already tied up, he still shouted to defend Erli and angrily cursed the bull demon for being shameless.

Later, the bull demon got pissed off too. He started swinging his fists to beat up Chen Jianxin, but accidentally broke the magic crystal chains wrapped around Chen Jianxin that were suppressing his cultivation.

When the chains fell off, Chen Jianxin immediately exploded with power.

However, because Chen Jianxin had been stabbed by Jinyue before falling into the Demon Abyss, his injured state wasn’t enough to completely defeat the bull demon.

At the crucial moment, Chen Jianxin threw a smoke bomb and fled with Erli in the chaos, finally jumping desperately off a cliff in an abandoned mine tunnel.

Afterward, although Erli was grateful to Chen Jianxin, her naturally proud personality still made her complain in their mine tunnel conversations that Chen Jianxin shouldn’t have saved her. She said she’d already gotten used to being beaten over the years, and if Chen Jianxin hadn’t taken her away, she would have just endured another beating and let the matter rest…

But now that Chen Jianxin had run away with her, when the mine supervisors caught up, they’d all die in this abandoned mine tunnel.

While the little girl complained verbally, she still insincerely saved Chen Jianxin at the crucial moment.

At that time, Chen Jianxin was seriously injured, and the two of them rested in the abandoned mine tunnel for a long time.

During this period, the bull demon had already led everyone in pursuit.

Not only that, but Jinyue and Liuli had also come after hearing the news.

Liuli’s cultivation was already high, and after experiencing the pain of losing her sister in the Azure Forest in the second volume, she’d completely blackened and her cultivation had skyrocketed. She easily used vines to grab Chen Jianxin and hang him up.

At the same time, Jinyue also saw the little girl trembling beside Chen Jianxin.

She seemed to sense the relationship between the young man and the little demon, and Jinyue had a flash of inspiration. Suddenly smiling wickedly, she gave an interesting choice:

[You’re called Erli, right?]

[That bull demon just stole your jade pendant, but now i got it back for you~]

[However, as long as you can stab that boy right now, I can guarantee in the name of the Pleasure Witch that not only will this jade pendant be yours afterward, but I’ll also grant you your freedom!]
