Chapter 32 Feel the despair
Hu Baochang kept walking, and the rubble kept breaking.
"I have to seize the time and never miss the opportunity."
"It is difficult to make progress due to the limitation of qualifications. If there is an iron corpse to help, the resources obtained will definitely be several times more. "
It can be seen that his state of mind can no longer maintain calm. After all, Shen Lian's performance is refreshing his cognition again and again. He can't imagine how far the refined iron corpse can reach.
Hu Bao often walked on the road and noticed that the yellow paper was burned out by the ox starling.
When the two letters were exposed to the air, flesh and blood proliferated on the surface, faint resentment overflowed, and ghosts formed bit by bit.
The ghosts are a man and a woman, both in their thirties and forties, with confused expressions.
If the recipient of the letter is around, he will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance. The ghost is exactly the same as their relative who died in Gaojia Town.
"It is indeed a scapegoat. Have ghosts in Gaojia Town begun to overrun?"
When a [scapegoat] eats a person, not only will his appearance gradually become closer to that of the deceased, but his behavior will also become almost the same.
Cowstarlings sweep across the pawn shop.
Shen Lian has finished disposing of the body and returned to the wing with more than ten kilograms of yellow sand. After all, he has just broken through the realm of bone training and needs to be stabilized.
Without Hu Baochang’s guidance, the scapegoat instinctively targeted Shen Lian.
Shen Lian's injuries have not healed, and the smell of blood is not something ordinary demons can resist. After eating it, he will benefit from Taoism for at least twenty years.
Hu Baochang only needs to rush to the pawn shop and wait for the opportunity to harvest.
But...
In order to prevent the Yamen from noticing the clues, all the mortals around the pawn shop had to be silenced. Anyway, there are demons around, so it is normal for dozens of people to die.
If it doesn’t work, it will be a big deal.
“Hu Baochang!!!”
Zhu Yihong chased him out of the yamen, his eyes fixed on Hu Baochang's back.
The direction of the Yamen close to the prison is shrouded in white mist. It can be seen that the Jinwu Guards have set up the location to attract demons in the hinterland. There are three Jinwu Guards guarding different areas of the prison.
Only Hu Baochang chose to live in a densely populated urban area.
“Little girl, there is really a lot to do.”
Hu Baochang had a vicious expression on his face and spat out a large number of insect-like corpses from his mouth. While avoiding Zhu Yihong’s pursuit, he wiped out his own aura.
He looked back and saw that Zhu Yihong had been entangled by the corpse bird.
“What are you going to fight with me for?”
Hu Baochang couldn’t wait to come outside the pawn shop. The two scapegoats entered the side room from the front and back doors respectively, looking ready to make a move.
He did not intervene immediately.
The scapegoat likes to torture Xue Shi, and Shen Lianwu dies so easily.
Hu Baochang hoped that there would be a trace of resentment left in the corpse, so that refining the corpse would be much more convenient.
“Go.”
The Ox Starling followed.
Hu Baochang stared at the wing room, and the traces of the fight with the half-demon in the past few days came into view, but there was no trace of the demonic energy remaining.
“The evil spirit cannot be eradicated. Even if it is placed outdoors, it will be exposed to the sun for three days, making the house even darker. Could it be eradicated by using evil spirits?”
Hu Baochang immediately denied it.
Where did the alchemists in Yanliang Town come from? It is impossible that there is a big demon entrenched here.
“Ah~ call me Master Ba~”
Myna landed next to the Ox Starling, his eyes full of curiosity.
Hu Baochang ignored Bage at all and was already thinking about how to refine the corpse until he found the scapegoat parked in front of the door of the wing.
The scapegoat's resentment collapsed for no reason, and his moral conduct fell for four or five years.
"Ghosts hurt themselves with resentment?"
Hu Baochang suddenly noticed fear in the scapegoat.
That’s right.
The fear is like encountering a natural enemy.
Immediately afterwards, the lingering myna opened its beak, and endless black energy surged out, and all resentment disappeared.
“Call me Master Ba~” Hu Baochang froze in place, still maintaining a twisted smile.
A monster six to seven meters long was crawling out of the myna's body. In an instant, countless ferocious souls filled the pawn shop.
The Nine-Eared Demon glanced at the Ox Starling, and its tail directly penetrated the two scapegoats.
The scapegoat can't even ask for mercy, because the gap between Tao and Xing is so great that their remaining wisdom has already been washed away.
"Thousand...thousand-year demon?!"
Hu Baochang's legs went weak and he didn't react immediately.
Who would have thought that there would be a thousand-year-old demon dormant in a pawn shop. Could it be that the thousand-year-old demon also treats Shen Lian as blood food?
Soon, Hu Baochang completely gave up the unrealistic idea.
Because Shen Lian is not a human being at all.
He finally understood why there was no demonic aura left in the pawn shop. There was no room for anything strange in a lair where demons had been dormant for thousands of years.
"The second... second thousand-year-old demon, what is Shen Lian's true form?"
Black energy also emerged from the bone blade, gathering into the soles of Shen Lian's feet like a swallow returning to its nest. The shadow and a bloody mouth slowly emerged.
Crack, click, click.
The upper and lower jaws rub against each other.
"Another thousand-year-old demon, Shen... Shen Lian is not a human, who is he?!!"
He licked his lips greedily.
Hu Baochang’s hair suddenly stood up. The prying eyes from the thousand-year-old demon made him feel like a ray of light on his back, and he quickly escaped from the pawn shop on both hands and feet.
In order to protect himself, he kept crying for help.
Unfortunately, most of the people in the yamen were in jail. People who heard the commotion closed their doors and windows, guessing that there was a drunk and crazy idiot outside.
Hu Bao often rolled and crawled, and his throat became hoarse.
The strange thing is that the thousand-year-old demon does not seem to have any intention of killing it all. He fled to the junction of the east and west city in confusion.
“I have to leave Yanliang Town immediately!”
“What a soul-calling case, the existence behind it is beyond imagination, even thousand-year-old demons are involved!!”
Hu Baochang held his chest and gasped with lingering fear, his shadow reflected on the old wall.
Moonlight fills the streets.
The shadow's limbs began to lengthen.
The movements of the two were no longer consistent, and the shadow covered his mouth and snickered strangely.
Hu Baochang quickly took out the prosthetic eye, and the densely packed corpse birds tried to stop it, but the shadow's abdomen opened with a bloody mouth.
He wrapped his tongue around each corpse bird and threw it into his mouth.
"Ahhh..."
Hu Baochang collapsed and covered his head, his tongue already wrapped around himself.
No means will help. Once a demon has been practicing for a thousand years, it cannot be killed by accumulating human lives.
With a big gulp, he swallowed Hu Baochang into his stomach.
Click click click.
Chewing for a moment, he opened his mouth with a look of disgust. The stranger didn't provide any nutrients at all, but the demon still ate it vigorously.
Bah.
The blood basin spat out bone residue, mixed with Hu Baochang's artificial eyes.
Myna flashed past, grabbed the prosthetic eye and flew to the pawn shop.
………
Stay until early in the morning.
The corner where the bones were located was surrounded by government officials.
The three Jinwu guards were extremely dignified. Based on the information from the government officials’ investigation, 80% of the wreckage came from Hu Baochang, who suddenly disappeared.
After they finished the combing process, they felt a chill running down their spines.
Hu Baochang hurried through the city with nothing behind him, but he seemed to be avoiding an invisible unknown monster, and finally died on the street.
