Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 140

three days later.

When Luo Qingchen woke up, she tried to clench her fist again and activated the power within her body.

This time, he finally felt the return of his power!

The internal energy surged continuously through his arm and into his fist.

He immediately perked up.

Looking up, the tomb was dimly lit and silent, with no sign of the junior sister.

At that moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night outside.

He turned his head again and looked at the vampire bats hidden in the darkness of the passage ahead.

They remain there.

That's the exit.

The only way to escape this underground tomb is to kill those vampire bats.

But the other side had far too many of them.

Furthermore, since that junior sister can command and control these vampire bats, there must be some kind of mysterious connection between them. Perhaps she knew this when he killed the first vampire bat.

"call"

He clenched his fist, feeling the strong wind wrapping around it.

After a moment's consideration, I decided to go and test the waters.

As he slowly rose from the ground, the group of figures lurking in the darkness suddenly opened their scarlet eyes.

Those pairs of scarlet, bloodthirsty eyes hung densely all around the passage, above, below, left, and right, like a group of ferocious demons, staring at him eerily and silently.

Luo Qingchen silently took out her knife and slowly walked over.

But suddenly, he stopped.

Using the dim light from the coffin in the corner, he looked down at the ground.

The ground was covered with countless iron nails.

The tips of those nails all faintly glowed with a blue light, as if they were coated with a deadly poison.

Upon closer inspection, the entire floor of the tomb was covered in iron nails.

..………”

He tried to keep his feet on the ground and move his feet.

The nail immediately made a soft click.

Then, the group of vampire bats hidden in the darkness ahead suddenly bared their fangs and began to squeak and scream, as if warning him.

At the same time, the coffins in the corner in front suddenly began to shake violently.

"Clang..."

The heavy coffin lid slowly opened.

Several disheveled figures strangely and slowly sat up from the coffins.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be skeletons covered in human skin!

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, two scarlet flames ignited in their empty eyes, staring at him with a cold and eerie gaze.

"Human Skin Ghost Technique..."

He felt a chill and stopped in his tracks.

I never expected that junior sister, hiding here, would have already cultivated that technique to such a high level!

Seeing the human-skinned skeletons and the swarm of vampire bats in the passage, all looking like they were about to scream and pounce at any moment, he didn't take any more risks and slowly took a step back.

With just this one step, the screaming vampire bats suddenly fell silent.

The human-skinned skeletons that had risen from their coffins extinguished the flames in their eye sockets and slowly lay back down.

Silence returned to the tomb.

"Junior Sister Ye!"

He suddenly shouted.

But in the empty and secluded tomb, there was no response.

He hesitated for a moment, then tried to lift his feet and walk towards the stove in the opposite corner.

This time, neither the vampire bats nor the skeletons in the coffin reacted.

"What a loyal group of guards..."

He secretly envied him.

Looking at those skeletons, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

He had originally planned to cultivate this technique, and all the necessary items were ready.

pity……

"We've already wasted too many days. We must take a medicinal bath and start cultivating immediately."

"If we wait for the other party to break through to the Tongqiao Realm first, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out at all."

He didn't believe that the other party would actually let him leave after five months.

Since he couldn't leave for the time being, and the other party wouldn't kill him anytime soon, he might as well make the most of the time and cultivate here with medicinal bath. Fortunately, this place was relatively secluded, and no one else would disturb him.

He quickly started a fire and began to brew the medicine.

He took out some dried meat from his storage bag and chewed on it while brewing the medicine.

For the past few days, the other party has been forcing him to eat rat meat, and he's almost vomiting from it.

He found it hard to imagine what the other person had gone through to develop these bizarre and absurd behaviors.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

The water in the iron pot has already boiled.

at the same time.

It was already evening outside.

At this time of year, in Medicineman Town, it was just as the miners were finishing their work.

There are various snacks on both sides of the street.

At Zhao Shi's stall, several people were also selecting sweet potatoes.

"It's all rotten..."

After browsing for a while and muttering a few words, the group got up and left without buying anything.

Zhao Shi quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes!"

He quickly took out fresh sweet potatoes from the sack behind him.

Those people ignored him and quickly left.

Zhao Shi called out a few more times, but seeing that the others had already gone far away, he could only mutter a few curses under his breath and sit back down on the ground.

"what?"

Just then, his gaze suddenly fell upon a petite figure draped in a black cloak and wearing a black hat on the opposite side of the street. Looking at that slender figure from behind, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

"The little mute?"

He suddenly remembered.

I'd seen her several times before when she was mining here, but back then she was always wearing tattered clothes, with disheveled hair and a dirty face.

Now... looking at the figure, it looks somewhat like him, but I also feel that it shouldn't be that little mute.

The clothes the other person is wearing now and their demeanor seem quite different.

"It shouldn't be her. She probably died in the mining accident a long time ago... Such a little kid, choosing to work in the mines, she deserves it." "Killing her parents, killing her brother, that kind of beast, worse than a pig or a dog, dying in a mining accident is too good for her."

He shook his head and looked away.

"Steamed buns! Steamed buns!"

"Freshly steamed buns!"

The owner of a roadside steamed bun shop was loudly hawking his wares to pedestrians on the street.

Ayao bought a basket of steaming hot buns, carried them in her hand, and walked towards Ziwei Pharmacy.

In her other hand, she held a letter.

Wang Jing, the person in charge of the office, refused to deliver the letter to her and secretly told her not to contact him anymore, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

"Is your brother afraid that bad people will come and hurt us?"

She murmured to herself.

"My senior sister said she's about to break through to the Blood Exchange Realm. Once she does, she can go up and find my brother. Then she can help me deliver the message."

She quickly cheered up again.

As she walked along the roadside, thinking about what she should write to her brother, she suddenly noticed a flower that seemed to have just bloomed in the dark woods beside her.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over.

"Oh, three flowers! Master will definitely like them!"

She quickly put down the bun in her hand, squatted down in front of the flowers, and started digging in the soil with both hands.

Digging and digging, digging and digging, until finally the roots were found.

By then, night had fallen.

The entire town was immediately plunged into a dark and gloomy atmosphere.

As she carefully continued to dig at the soil on the roots, a strange figure wearing a black cloak, black hat, and black veil silently approached her from the dark forest behind her.

The eyes behind the veil were dark and cold.

Finally, they dug them all out.

She carefully lifted the black flower from the mud puddle, and a bright yet somewhat ferocious innocent smile appeared on her scarred, tender face.

At that moment, the eerie figure had already arrived behind her.

"Medicine! Medicine!"

Chen Ya's voice suddenly came from the roadside.

Ah Yao quickly turned around and said, "Senior Sister, I'm here!"

Chen Ya, carrying a lantern, ran into the dark woods, glaring at her and yelling, "What are you doing here? It's so late, why aren't you home yet! What did Master say? You have to be home before dark!"

Ah Yao quickly stood up, holding the flowers, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Senior Sister, I picked another flower for Master! Look, there are three flowers on this flower, one big and two small, don't they look like the three of us?"

Chen Ya rolled her eyes at him, picked up the now-cold buns from the ground, and glared at him, saying, "Get out of here! If you do this again, I'll beat you to death!"

"Hehe, Senior Sister wouldn't bear to hit me! If I get hurt, Senior Sister will have to do even more things by herself."

Ah Yao chuckled, carrying the flowers, and walked ahead.

Chen Ya followed behind, carrying a lantern and steamed buns.

After taking a few steps, she turned back to look at the dark and gloomy forest behind her. A gust of cold wind blew, and she shivered. She quickly quickened her pace.

The two of them, one after the other, quickly disappeared into the darkness of the streets.

Behind a large black tree in the dark forest, the eerie figure stood silently for a while longer before disappearing. "Hua..."

Inside the tomb, after Luo Qingchen finished her medicinal bath and cleaned herself of the dirty water, she walked to a corner, sat down, and began to cultivate.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes.

The petite figure draped in a black cloak stood silently before him, her dark, deep eyes fixed on him without moving.

"I used your ingredients to make a medicinal bath. You don't mind, do you?"

Luo Qingchen took the initiative to speak.

She stared at him for a while longer, then shook her head: "We're friends. What's mine is yours."

Is it really?

Luo Qingchen thought to herself.

She then asked, "Are you hungry?"

Luo Qingchen said, "I'm not hungry."

"I bought you steamed buns."

She handed him a bag of things.

Then, she took out a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to him.

"And, candied hawthorns."

Luo Qingchen paused for a moment, glanced at the steamed buns and candied hawthorns in front of her, then looked into her dark eyes hidden between a black hat and a veil. "We are friends."

She said softly.

That's what he said when he and that girl gave her and her sister food.
