Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 25

"Um?"

When Luo patrolled to the second-floor window in the early morning, he suddenly smelled a bloody odor in the air outside.

Meanwhile, the life-stealing ability of the second health bar within the body is stirring.

"Someone died?"

He felt a chill run down his spine and looked out into the darkness.

However, it was pitch black outside, and only the outlines of some trees and houses could be vaguely seen; nothing else could be seen.

Without hesitation, he immediately went downstairs.

Chen Ju was flirting with a woman named Huang Li at the corner of the first-floor corridor. He said something that made the woman giggle and laugh incessantly.

Seeing him come downstairs, Chen Ju called out, "Brother Luo, is something the matter?"

Luo Qingchen said, "There's nothing going on upstairs. I'm about to go outside and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ju laughed and said, "Brother Luo is truly responsible. You go and patrol the courtyard first, and I'll go later tonight."

Luo Qingchen agreed and left the house at a leisurely pace.

He didn't linger in the courtyard; he glanced around and went straight out the gate.

Perhaps due to his blood-sucking ability, he had an extremely sensitive sense of smell for blood. As soon as he stepped out the door, he smelled an even stronger stench of blood.

At the same time, his blood-sucking ability became increasingly restless.

He precisely locked his sights on the large tree a hundred meters ahead. He first cautiously looked around, and seeing nothing amiss, he quickly walked over.

Soon, he saw a corpse under the big tree.

The corpse's head was missing, a bloody hole appeared in its chest, and its heart was also gone.

The ground was covered in blood.

Judging from his clothes, shoes, and physique, he was Zhao Laosan, who had just come out of the building not long ago!

Luo Qingchen's pupils contracted, and following the bloodstains on the ground, she looked towards the dark grove of trees on the left side of the road, holding her breath.

The dark forest was deathly silent; nothing could be seen.

Without hesitation, he immediately approached the corpse, extended his palm, and activated his blood-sucking skill.

To survive here, he naturally wouldn't waste any blood.

That's why he just risked coming out alone.

In an instant, the blood in his second health bar increased from 30% to 50%!

At this point, the corpse began to change.

He immediately withdrew his hand and stopped.

The body had already bled too much blood from the severed neck and chest, and there wasn't much blood left in its body.

If he were to drink every last drop, it might arouse suspicion.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a faint sound of footsteps behind him.

"Someone has died!"

He immediately shouted, pretended to be panicked and took a few steps back, then turned and ran towards Baixianglou.

I had only run a few steps when I bumped into someone.

Chen Ju emerged from the darkness, his expression changing as he exclaimed, "What? Someone else has died?"

As he spoke, he strode forward and immediately spotted the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood on the ground ahead. He exclaimed in shock, "It's that heart-ripping monster again! This time, it even ate the head!"

Luo Qingchen said, "I'll go get someone!"

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Ju suddenly grabbed him, his eyes gleaming, and whispered, "Junior Brother Luo, don't you want to get some blood for cultivation?"

Luo Qingchen was taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly not understanding what was going on.

Chen Ju gestured towards the corpse on the ground, his tone enticing, "It would be a waste not to use the fresh blood. Right now, only the two of us discovered the body. We can each take a little blood and use it for medicinal baths and cultivation. Nobody will know."

Luo Qingchen pretended to think for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Chen Ju smiled with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother!"

As he spoke, he immediately took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, preparing to go forward and draw blood.

Luo Qingchen followed her over.

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps suddenly came from the street next door.

The people were in neat rows, carrying lanterns, and moving very quickly.

Chen Ju cursed and quickly put away the porcelain bottle in his hand.

As the group rushed forward, Chen Ju immediately went to meet them, his face filled with shock, and said, "Captain Zhou, someone else has been killed here! I was just about to inform you!"

The leader was tall and dressed in a black robe. He was about thirty years old and had sharp eyes. Upon hearing this, he immediately came to the body and stared at it intently.

This person is named Zhou Qingyang. He is the squad leader of the town's guard post in Yaoren Town and a formal disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect.

"When was it discovered?"

After observing for a moment, Zhou Qingyang turned to look at the two of them, his expression serious.

Chen Ju quickly replied, "We just discovered it. When we were on patrol, we smelled blood and came over to check, and that's when we saw this body."

Zhou Qingyang stared at the two men for a few more moments, then squatted down in front of the corpses, extending two fingers and placing them on the corpses' chests.

The place was still warm; it was indeed recently deceased.

but……

He suddenly stood up, his gaze sharp as he stared at the two men. "The blood in this corpse has been almost completely drained. Did you two just tamper with him?"

An extremely powerful aura instantly pressed down on the two of them.

Chen Ju's expression changed, and he hurriedly cried out that he was innocent: "We just arrived. Even if we had a hundred times more courage, we wouldn't dare to draw blood from this corpse without permission. Besides, we don't know what kind of monster killed this person. Who knows if there's poison in his blood? Please, Captain Zhou, be so kind as to investigate."

Zhou Qingyang stared at the two men with sharp eyes for a while, then ordered, "Search them."

"yes!"

Two team members immediately stepped forward and began searching Chen Ju and Luo Qingzhou's bodies.

The containers for blood can be easily touched.

Luo Qingchen had nothing on her, while two porcelain bottles were found on Chen Ju.

Zhou Qingyang took the porcelain bottle, opened the stopper to check it, and found that it was clean and empty, so he returned it to him.

Chen Ju said with a forced smile, "Captain Zhou, would you like to take off your clothes too?"

Zhou Qingyang ignored him, took out a red jade stone from his pocket, rubbed it on his chest a few times, and then placed it on his forehead.

Chen Ju's expression immediately turned serious: "Captain Zhou suspects this person was killed by a demon?"

This magic stone is only used when examining monsters.

Zhou Qingyang placed the red jade stone on Luo Qingchen's chest and between her eyebrows, paused for a few breaths, and then explained in a calm tone: "The Heart-Piercing Monster is elusive and has killed many people recently. It's either a demon or a monster. In the next few days, everyone in town will be checked."

Chen Ju looked fearful: "If it really is a demon, then that's terrifying."

Zhou Qingyang put away the red jade and warned the two, "What happened tonight must not be spread, lest it cause panic."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "You can go back now. I'll come find you again if I need anything."

The two respectfully agreed and headed towards Baixianglou.

Once inside the building, Chen Jufang muttered a curse under his breath: "A dog relying on its master's power, only just entered the Blood Exchange Realm, and already so arrogant!"

Luo Qingchen didn't reply and went straight upstairs.

Chen Ju watched his retreating figure, his expression gradually darkening.

He hadn't had a medicinal bath in a long time, and his cultivation had stagnated. He desperately needed fresh blood.

Unfortunately, it was just one step away.

"What an idiot! He didn't take the readily available blood. If this kid hadn't yelled just now, the town guards wouldn't have arrived so quickly..."

He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, then looked away and continued patrolling the various rooms on the first floor.

Luo Qingchen arrived at the corner of the second-floor corridor, looked at the first private room in front of her, and showed a complex emotion on her face.

From inside the room came the sound of a girl's suppressed sobs.

Her father treated her that way; I wonder how she will feel when she learns of his death tomorrow.

Do you feel relieved, or sad?

Outside the window, the night grew darker.

Luo Qingchen closed her eyes, looking at the blood in the second blood bar in her body, and thought to herself: In a few days, Tian Feng will come down to take blood. I hope he won't notice anything unusual.

He still has a lot of medicinal energy in his body, and he needs to refine it as soon as possible in the next two days.

After Tian Feng leaves, he will find another opportunity to take a medicinal bath.

Only by breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm as soon as possible can we leave this gloomy and dangerous place.

"Squeak..."

As he closed his eyes to think about things, the door to the innermost room in the corridor opened.

The woman named Qingmei peeked out, beckoned to him, and called softly, "Guard Luo, come here for a moment."

Luo Qingchen's expression shifted, and she walked over, stopping at the doorway. "What can I do for you, Miss Qingmei?"

Seeing that he seemed a little nervous, Qingmei covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "It's nothing. I don't have to entertain guests tonight, and I can't sleep right now, so I wanted to invite Guard Luo into the room to talk."

She was draped in a thin veil, her shoulders exposed, and her fair breasts were faintly visible.

At the same time, her long, bright red nails were slowly sliding down from her chin to her neck, and then continuing down, her eyes filled with a charming and alluring smile.

"About A-Yun..."

She blinked and whispered.
