Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 27

Inside, the doors and windows were tightly shut.

Luo Qingchen continued cultivating in the dimly lit space until it got dark outside.

Within his body, the cultivation process continued to grow rapidly.

【Strength: 105/1000】 has changed to 【Strength: 115/1000】.

Through the tempering of pain, his entire skeleton has become stronger and stronger, and the power contained in each muscle seems to have increased considerably.

"Whoosh!"

He clenched his fist and threw a punch.

The force of the punch was significantly greater than before, with a whistling wind!

"My cultivation progress is increasing, and so is my power..."

"Even among cultivators at the Bone Strengthening Realm, there are differences in speed and strength, and naturally, there are also differences in overall power."

"Among Chen Ju and Wang Long, who will be stronger?"

"I've just entered the Bone Strengthening Realm, and my strength was originally inferior to theirs. However, I have the blood medicinal bath, which has made me progress much faster, while their progress is slow, or even stagnant. Therefore, I should be able to surpass them soon..."

He lowered his fist and looked out the window.

The already dim light had now turned completely dark.

After dark, the entire town is shrouded in darkness and a sinister atmosphere.

This is especially true of Baixianglou, where several murders have occurred in succession.

Here, people are more terrifying than ghosts.

After resting for a while, he did not go out, but instead crawled under the bed.

Outside, several pairs of eyes were hidden in the darkness, staring motionlessly at the wooden door and windows of the second house.

"Brother, shall we do it?"

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer. We're not the only ones watching him. Let others go first. Judging from what's happened these past few days, that kid is no simpleton. Be careful not to capsize."

Wang Long and Wang Hu's voices echoed softly in the darkness.

Another half hour passed.

Wang Hu finally couldn't help but say, "That kid has had so much blood drawn, he's probably passed out by now. We need to hurry. If others get there first and we're late, and that kid dies, they might blame it on us."

Wang Long remained silent, his gaze still fixed on the wooden door and window.

About half an hour later...

Wang Long looked around carefully and finally made a decision: "Let's go, let's get the blood!"

The two of them pressed themselves against the wall and soon arrived at the window of the second house.

"There's no movement inside. That kid's probably asleep already. Who could stand losing such a large bowl of blood?"

Wang Hu couldn't wait any longer.

Wang Long listened outside the window for a while before taking out a thin blade, reaching through the window crack, and prying open the latch.

"Squeak..."

The window opened quietly.

The two stared at the dark room for a while longer, and Wang Long said in a low voice, "I'll go in first, you follow behind and keep watch by the window."

Wang Hu nodded and whispered, "Brother, take more. That kid is a cultivator; he won't die so easily. Also, remember to check his body to see if he has any silver."

Wang Long didn't say anything, glanced into the room again, and without further hesitation, immediately climbed through the window and entered.

But as soon as he stepped into the room, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his foot!

"what!"

He gasped in surprise and immediately jumped up from the spot!

But as soon as he landed after jumping, he felt even more stinging pain in the soles of his feet!

Upon hearing the noise, Wang Hu thought he was being attacked. He hurriedly grabbed a dagger and jumped in through the window. But as soon as he landed, he felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet!

The two brothers jumped up and landed together in pain, but each time they landed, even more intense pain shot through their feet!

Then the two couldn't help but jump up again, and then land...

"what!"

"what!"

"Aaaaaah!"

"Aaaaaah!"

"Don't jump! Don't jump!"

Wang Long finally came to his senses. Enduring the excruciating pain, he stood still and stopped jumping. He hurriedly took out a tinderbox, blew on it, and looked at the ground.

When the firelight illuminated the dark ground, the two brothers were both shocked and furious!

The entire floor of the room was covered with countless iron nails, their sharp tips all pointing upwards. Under the light, they gleamed coldly, sending chills down one's spine!

They were everywhere, even in the corners and on the tables!

The entire room was like a hell of iron spikes!

No wonder they both got hit every time they jumped and landed.

"What a treacherous little bastard!"

The two cursed under their breath, looked down at their feet, and found that the soles of both feet were covered with nails!

The shoes were stained red with blood!

"There's no one in bed, let's go! Let's go!"

Wang Long acted decisively, enduring the excruciating pain, squatting down, and using his hands to pry open the dense pile of nails on the ground. Then, kneeling on the ground, he crawled awkwardly towards the door with his buttocks sticking out and his feet sticking up, while using his hands to pry open the dense pile of nails in front of him that made his scalp tingle.

"Ding ding ding..."

The nail, when turned, made a crisp sound, which sounded particularly pleasant in the quiet night.

Looking at his posture, Wang Hu felt extremely humiliated. He wanted to endure the pain and try to walk, but after taking just one step, he convulsed in pain, grimaced, and almost fainted.

"hiss--"

He gasped in pain, no longer caring about dignity or image. He imitated his brother's humiliating manner, kneeling on both knees, his buttocks and feet sticking out, gritting his teeth, his lips trembling, as he crawled step by step toward the door with great difficulty.

"ah--"

Just as Wang Long crawled to the doorway, he suddenly let out a piercing scream!

He was in so much pain that he was dizzy and disoriented. While he was trying to pry open the dense array of nails in front of him, he was caught off guard and suddenly triggered a bear trap. With a "snap," the trap's sharp steel teeth snapped into his right hand. The razor-sharp teeth pierced through his palm from both sides and were locked tightly together!

Wang Long's scream startled Wang Hu behind him, making him tremble and wet himself in fear.

"Brother! What's wrong?"

He asked in a trembling voice.

Wang Hu, his voice trembling and choked with sobs, cried out, "Ah..."

The two brothers lay on the ground with their buttocks sticking up, trembling with pain and fear.

Wang Long quickly regained his senses, gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and prepared to pry open the animal trap that was gripping his hand.

Because he knew that if he didn't leave, it would be even more dangerous!

Both brothers have been ambushed and are seriously injured. If they don't leave quickly, they might face dire consequences later...

"What does it taste like?"

At that moment, the two of them suddenly smelled a faint, exotic fragrance.

Wang Hu looked up in surprise and suddenly noticed a thin tube inserted into the crack of the window in front of him, with green smoke coming out of the tube.

By this time, the smoke had filled the entire room.

The two of them were so startled, frightened, in pain, and anxious from being pricked by the nails scattered all over the ground that they didn't notice anything amiss.

"Someone is releasing poisonous smoke!"

Wang Hu exclaimed in surprise.

"Hold your breath! Hold your breath now!"

Wang Long shouted in a panic.

However, it was too late.

The two men already had nails piercing their feet, rendering them unable to walk. Even without the poisonous smoke, they were powerless to resist.

As the two were reeling from fear and pain, their vision blurred and they drifted off to sleep, the door suddenly creaked open.

A dark figure walked in from outside the door.

He held a gleaming dagger in one hand and a large bowl for holding blood in the other.

The moment Wang Long lost consciousness, he suddenly felt a profound irony.

Originally, the two brothers planned to use Luo Qingchen as prey to extract his blood tonight, but now, they have become someone else's prey.

"brute!"

The two brothers fell into a coma.

Blood flowed from the soles of his feet, staining the ground with a thick, pungent stench that intensified the greed in the shadowy figure's eyes.

He immediately used a dagger to slash their wrists and began to draw blood.

He took only one bowl and left immediately.

Not long after he left, another figure appeared carrying a dagger and a large bowl.

Then, two more figures appeared...
