Demonic stone

Hearing the shocking sentence coming out of the mouth of the little boy, a sudden coldness hits the core of Liu Yaojing's body, while he started looking towards the small boy with his wide-open eyes without blinking his eyelids for few seconds. As he felt lightning crackle through his veins and time slowed down, his brain stutters for a moment with eyes taking in more light than expected, every part of his body had gone on a pause while his thoughts were trying to catch up.

" Wha .... What do you mean by our Xiner was killed...? tell us, tell us more, little Xiaoli, tell us clearly about the incident, we had only heard the news about the death of our little daughter from the mouth of the soldiers stationed at the outer camp near the coastline and all of them were saying that our daughter, Liu Xiner had drowned in the ocean mistakenly while playing, due to her carelessness", both the parents of the little girl drowned in tears started reeling the little body of the boy Xiaoli restlessly with a rapid change in their earlier expression filled with regret and sorrow to that of disbelief and uncertainty, after hearing the words of the startled little boy, Xiaoli.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt wang, I'm the one telling the truth. Today, while we were playing our little game near the western coastline, a few soldiers along with their young master, the nineteen-year-old young son of the silver tiger king who was riding a powerful monster beast and was on a hunting trip to kill the monsters roaming near outer camp along with the shrubs, while carrying a long silvery bone bow and pointy sharp arrows to get the kill when his eyes caught the sight of us four children's playing near the western coastline and thinking for a while he started laughing loudly and told one of the soldiers in his camp" go and tell those human craps to run as fast as they can for their life. Today this young lord would go on a killing spree and would use these shrimps to practice his targets, it would be best to see their panicked and horrified expression as they run for their lives", hearing the orders given by the young master, the soldier riding ahead shuddered a little and then went ahead to convey the message.

"Little children's of the human race today is a lucky day for you all, as our young master would be the one playing a game with you all, in which all you had to do is run for your life as the young master practices his archery skills on you and if you are able to outpace him while keeping your life, you will be heavily gifted from the lord himself. So, all of you better start running with all of your might as far as possible", conveying the orders given by the young master in a somewhat roundabout way in order to make them less frightened and scared while giving them an appropriate alarm about the situation ahead, the soldier decided to be little flexible while giving the warning. It took few seconds for the small children to understand the meaning behind the wordings of the soldier earlier, as they lost all the color in their bodies and started to run in agitation after understanding the final meaning.

Seeing the young children running ahead like some headless chickens waiting for their turn to be butchered, the young master started laughing even more loudly while praising himself for such an innovative idea. With a powerful kick to his mount, the young lord reared his mount towards the running children while aiming with his bow. There were around four to five children in the group who were playing earlier near the western coastline and were running chaotically all-around in a disorganized manner trying to save their punny lives. The girl, Liu Xiner was the youngest among the group and was last to understand the gravity of the situation they were in and tried to run her best after knowing that her life would be in danger if she didn't take any action only to fail miserably and fell down while running after taking a few steps when a sharp arrow from above entering through her left head came out from the other side with blood and mucus of the brain making the little girl die with her eyes still wide open towards the sky without even knowing enough about the event that had taken her life just a few seconds ago, narrating about the incident till here that transpired earlier the little boy Xiaoli started to cry out loud and burst into tears.

Hearing about the gruesome death of their little daughter and the way in which she was hunted and later killed, tears of blood started to drop from the eyes of both the parents of the little girl as their bodies started to shudder with anger, pain, sadness, and regret of their own foolishness in easily believing the words of the soldiers and wasting their time mourning here with not even trying to find the body of the little girl. As if strangling the small body of the boy with great force, the angry Liu Yaojing tried to get more information from the boy in front "Xiaoli, please tell us about the whereabouts of my little princess, where is her body?"

Trying to reply the question asked by uncle Liu, the little boy Xiaoli started to further narrate the incident while stuttering and crying rivers" Uncl., uncle Liu, that time I was only focused on my own life and was fleeing towards the nearby forest with all my efforts when I heard a shrill cry from behind only to find the lifeless body of little Xiner lying on the ground dead..." telling till here the little boy again started crying with regret," Sorry Xiner, this big brother had been a big coward to not even tell your parents and others after finding the wrong narrative circulated around by the army soldiers about your death. This brother was barely able to escape after running into the forest and had been frightened and horrified from the killing till now. It was only after seeing your lifeless parents sitting outside their hut and moaning without knowing about the real information and believing the baseless rumors about your death from drowning filling me with guilt and providing some courage to at least convey the right information to your parents". " Sorry, uncle Lio, aunt Wang, I was completely horrified after seeing the dead body of the little sister Xiner lying on the ground and ran away for my life without looking back".

Getting no answer about the whereabouts of the body of their little girl, The couple decided to themselves go to the military hall and ask for an answer from the Siver tiger king himself. It was getting darker outside and the silver tiger king was reading some military reports to his three generals feeling a little sleepy when a guard barged inside and conveyed him a message that a human slave couple urgently wants to have an audience with the lord, saying that they would give their life in front of the door hitting there head in the floor if not provided with a proper audience.

Having no further work to do after reading the reports, the silver tiger king finally decided to give the couple a hearing before his departure from the hall while ordering the guard stationed at the door, "Go and call the human couple from outside and tell them that this king will only entertain them for few minutes only". Entering the military hall for the first time which was generally restricted for the slaves, the couple Liu and wang looked towards the sitting silver tiger king in the middle of the hall with both pain, hatred, and nervousness, finally deciding to put some courage the old man Liu asked the king " My lord, this lowly slave had come to know that his only daughter Xiner had been killed by the arrow of the young master earlier this morning and wishes to get some proper answers from the young master along with the whereabouts of her dead body".

While the couple was asking the questions from the spirit king, in a corner where the three generals were seated a young boy with long silvery hair was playing with a bloody arrow and laughing inwardly after hearing the meticulous deeds about him and seeing the pained and helpless expression on the faces of the couple without being able to do anything even after knowing the murder of their child," Father, these lowly pests are just trying to scheme against this young master and only wants a handsome Ransome for the accidental death of their daughter. This morning when I was outside the camp for a hunt, few children were playing near the western coastline where my target a little dear was messing around a small tragedy happened when one little girl mistakenly got in between the arrow launched by me and the target I was aiming, only to get killed carelessly. As for the body of the little girl, it was already lying lifelessly on the ground while getting rotten so I decide to feed the body to my mount to ease its hunger", throwing a pouch filled with coins towards the crying couple the young master tried to show his compassion Infront of his father.

Hearing the twisting words coming out of the mouth of the murderer of their little girl and the merciless way in which he had treated even the dead body of their only daughter, the mother of the girl was not able to compose herself and ran toward the young master filled in anger" I will kill you bloody beast, how dare you touched my little....", even before she was able to complete her final sentence and reach near the chair of the young master, a neatly cut bloody head, flying in the air came near the foot of the old man Liu while still rolling due to the force applied. Seeing the head near his foot and a headless bloody body still standing near the chair of the young master, Liu Yaojing felt his mind has gone blank from the scene before him only to get jolted from the sound of the falling body. Seeing the lifeless head on the ground and the bloody sword which was still dripped in blood in the hands of one general standing near the young master of the silver tiger race, everything became crystal clear to the old man Liu as more tears started to flow from his blood-red eyes that were filled with pain, regret and deep-rooted hatred towards the bloodthirsty monster race hidden in some corner of his heart.

Getting the grip of the current situation, Old man Liu decided to be clear-headed and play with calmness to first escape from this dangerous place and only then think about his revenge after. Picking up the pouch filled with the coin from the ground thrown by the young master earlier while leaving the bloody head and body of his wife lying there, old man Liu went in front of the Silver tiger king to pay his respect and accept his crime of framing the young master wrongly. Hearing the shameless words coming out of the mouth of the weak old human slave, who was thinking about his own life even after the death of both his daughter and wife, the silver tiger king started to smirk towards the old man and decided to punish him with a beating of thousand whips.

Hurriedly coming out of the inner camp after taking thousands of hits with his weak and old body with barely being able to move himself, the old man Liu decided to leave this Island as soon as possible to some faraway land where he would spend his every second to come up with a scheme to kill the young master of silver tiger race. Pushing his small boat stationed at the western coastline towards the ocean water and sitting on the stern, he started pushing the wooden oars against the the water of the ocean while moving the boat out of the coastline near the island as soon as possible.

After coming a long way out of the island into the middle of the ocean, the old man Liu started to get a little relaxed as he believed himself to had escaped from the perilous situation from earlier only to find a large ship with the flag of the Silver tiger king army tracking him from a miles away. Seeing the heavily armored ship coming towards him at a rapid pace, old man Liu started to push the oars with more force against the water to increase the pace of his boat for his escape only to find the ship getting nearer with the passage of time. It only took a few more minutes for the ship to reach his small boat when the soldiers started to fire the arrow made out fire heads towards him.

Getting hit by the hordes of burning arrows flying towards his small boat, the small boat started to burn heavily and break down completely. Finally, finding no place to escape the old man Liu decides to jump into the ocean to prevent himself from burning with fire. As he jumped into the ocean and started going deeper and deeper into the depth of the ocean at a rapid pace when his head came into contact with a large black stone hardly hitting it while dismantling the stone from the middle and even giving him some dizziness to him because of the heavy hit, trying to barely open his eyes he caught the sight of a black dark orb that was making an eerie sound on contact with his blood flowing through his head during the hit earlier.
