Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After more than twenty minutes, the young male lion had eaten about fifty kilograms of meat.

This may be the most satisfying meal in his life.

Chen Zhao has been sitting on the raised stone next to him, looking at the lion.

Anyone who keeps pets knows that watching their pets eat is actually a process of enjoyment.

This behavior is an interactive process between owners and pets.

Chen Zhao had no intention of taking it back.

The main thing is that it has grown up.

There are also two little lions at home, Simba and Nala.

If the lion is really brought back, Simba may be killed by it in the future.

This is determined by the social form of their group.

Not because they're evil or anything.

All Chen Zhao could do was feed it.

"It's time for me to get busy. I hope you can become the king of this prairie." Chen Zhao gently patted the lion.

The lion looked up at Chen Zhao's leaving figure.

Chen Zhao didn't want to have too much contact with it.

Volunteers on the African savannah often have no contact with animals.

Even when they need to study animals, most of the time they keep a distance.

One problem with contact with animals is that their way of thinking is very simple.

They think volunteers are good people and maintain the same attitude towards all humans.

But not every human being who comes here is a good person.

Where there are volunteers there will be poachers.

In the last century, volunteers rescued an African elephant.

And because of this, he had a lot of interactions with the African elephant.

Elephants are highly intelligent creatures and they are grateful animals.

So the rescued African elephant mistakenly believed humans were within its reach.

The end result is that it is killed by poachers.

This is a very cruel fact.

It was killed by the humans it loved.

This is not a single case, but many precedents.

Among the crimes considered the most evil by humans, poaching is the only one that is not directed at humans.

The other categories are drug trafficking, organ smuggling and human trafficking.

Although poaching is a crime against animals, it is more often massacre and murder.

Chen Zhao also didn't want to get into contact with this male lion.

Make it mistakenly believe that humans can be trusted.

That's why Chen Zhao avoided having more contact with it.

The lion chased Chen Zhao for two steps.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao's body exuded a strong dangerous aura.

The lion's fur instantly exploded, and he turned around and ran away.

If this can help it develop the habit of hiding from humans in the future.

Chen Zhao's hard work was not in vain.

…

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Chen Zhao.

This is a big man, wearing a vest, but exuding a majestic aura.

"Poacher?" The big man looked at Chen Zhao coldly.

This big guy is Malone.

But he soon discovered that Chen Zhao was not a poacher.

After all, Chen Zhao didn't carry any equipment.

Even Chen Zhao's casual attire was a bit too much.

This gave Malone an illusion.

This guy is not walking at night on the dangerous African savannah, but walking in his own back garden.

This guy is definitely not an ordinary person.

When Ma Long was sizing up Chen Zhao, Chen Zhao was also sizing up Malong.

They are all judging each other based on their own habits and experiences.

Unfortunately, they both regard each other as a cultist.

Chen Zhao saw red lines on Ma Long's arms and body.

These lines are very similar to the Satanism that Chen Zhao encountered in the past.

They borrow demonic power through similar lines.

Malone has similar lines on his body.

Although there are still subtle differences.

But Chen Zhao felt that they should be the same type of magic runes.

Because of this, Chen Zhao thought Ma Long was a cultist.

And Ma Long believed that Chen Zhao was a cultist, not only because of Chen Zhao's clothes.

Also because Chen Zhao's eyes flickered, and he was definitely not one of those psychics in the settlement.

Because among the psychics in the settlement, Asians with black hair and black eyes are easier to remember.

Chen Zhao turned around and ran away without thinking.

Malone, of course, fought hard to catch up.

After Chen Zhao turned around and ran away, he became more certain of Chen Zhao's identity.

Definitely a cultist.

He must have discovered his identity, so he acted in a panic and lost his sense of measure.

"Stop." Ma Long suddenly knocked Chen Zhao down.

At this moment, Chen Zhao looked very flustered.

He raised his hand and pointed it at Malone.

An arc of electricity burst out from the palm of his hand.

The arc of electricity hit Malone, but Malone only shivered slightly.

By this time, he had completely confirmed that Chen Zhao was a cultist.

Although there are a lot of psychics in this gathering area.

But there is absolutely no consumption of lightning magic.

Ma Long raised his fist and hit Chen Zhao in the face.

Chen Zhao needed to show pain at this time.

Then Ma Long picked up Chen Zhao who had lost his resistance.

And this is also the first time that Chen Zhao has been mentioned.

"If you dare to take action again, then I will twist off your limbs."

"Don't dare, I don't dare anymore, don't kill me, don't kill me..."

At this time, Chen Zhao was an actor, and his whole body was full of drama.

At this moment, Chen Zhao felt like a cowardly psychic.

Malone didn't notice anything at all.

He seemed to really feel that Chen Zhao had given in.

But at this moment, a chill came from the shadows without warning.

Malone sensed a sneak attack.

However, he did not dodge, but directly received the sneak attack.

"I should have known there would be an ambush for you cowards." Malone snorted coldly.

ambush? Chen Zhao was a little confused. Who was this sudden third party attacking?

That group of managers that West once said?

Sneak attack Malone's attack with a black arrow.

The black arrow hit Ma Long in the chest.

It penetrates a little bit, just piercing the skin a little.

"Before you just ambush me, didn't you find out clearly about my strength?" Ma Long snorted coldly.

Chen Zhao wanted to get up, but was stepped back to the ground by Ma Long.

This is the most embarrassing time Chen Zhao has ever seen in his career.

"Don't move, or I'll crush your head."

Chen Zhao, who was face down on the ground, looked at the black arrow that fell to the ground after a failed sneak attack.

Chen Zhao smelled a pungent smell on the black arrow.

This arrow is poisonous.

At this moment, a dozen people suddenly broke out from around.

Chen Zhao could see clearly that these dozen people were not good people.

They exuded an aura that Chen Zhao didn't like very much.

They are the cultists! ?

Chen Zhao was a little confused, but he wasn't completely sure.

It seemed that I had made a mistake.

It seemed that Ma Long was more like a good person, and these people who attacked and ambush exuded an aura that was familiar to Chen Zhao.
