Chapter 144: The Hidden Enemy
Chapter 144: Hidden Enemy
The bright red blood dripped down my fingers and suddenly turned the mummy's lips into a bright red color.
At the same time, the bearded man and the prince also made two completely opposite expressions. The bearded man squinted his eyes and nodded and smiled, as if he had guessed my true intention. The prince still looked around dullly, looking at me and mummy at the moment. He really couldn't figure out what the purpose of me enduring the pain and bleeding a dead body was to drink.
I waited for a while, and when I saw that the mummy did not react at all, I couldn't help but feel confused and sat on the ground and wondered without saying a word.
At this time, the prince could not hold it in his arms. He reached out and pulled it on my shoulder for a while, and said angrily: "Where are you? You are having a twist? You don't say anything. If you have nothing to do, you have to pour blood into the mouth of the dead body. What are you doing?"
I sighed, patted his bare head a few times, and said helplessly: "Everyone says that smart heads don't have hair. You have few hairs in your head, but why are you not smart at all? I ask you, is the blood demon we just seen very similar to this kind of mummy?"
The prince nodded: "Yes."
I continued to ask, "Then think about it carefully. I told you before that when I first saw the blood demon, I was a very hungry blood demon, and my body was extremely weak. I ate the cat I raised as soon as I came up. Do you still have any impression of this?"
The prince nodded again and said, "I have an impression. Later, Yebi was buried there."
I nodded and continued, "That proves that if the blood demons don't eat or drink for a long time, they will not be able to withstand it. Although I'm not sure they will die, at least they won't jump around like normal blood demons. But think about it, this Devil City is already completely closed, and the tunnel leading to the outside world has been blocked a long time ago. Where did the blood demons just now come from? Did they live for thousands of years without eating or drinking?"
This sentence seemed to awaken the prince. He stopped asking questions, but kept silent thinking, his eyes fixed on one side and stared at him. It was obvious that he had a preliminary answer in his heart.
So I continued to remind him while the iron was hot, "Fan Tianyin died inexplicably after entering the city. When he appeared, his arms disappeared and most of his internal organs were taken away. Although his whole body was covered with wounds, he did not shed a drop of blood. Where did the blood on his body go? Where did the internal organs go? Arms..."
I was still waiting to continue to talk, and the prince suddenly let out a low voice, pointed to the mummy on the ground and said first: "It was the blood of the Fragrance Seal to save the blood demons. In fact, those blood demons were originally like this dry corpses!"
During my conversation with the prince, the bearded man also figured out the whole story and he interjected: "So, what you found in the blood demon's stomach just now was the clothes on the body of the Fengtian Yin?"
I nodded and said, "It's indeed the clothes of the Fentian Seal. That means the flesh in the blood demon's belly is also the Fentian Seal. This is enough to prove that the blood demons were resurrected after eating the Fentian Seal." As I said that, I frowned and stared at the mummy in front of me and pondered: "But why did this mummy not resurrect after seeing blood? Are those blood demons and these mummy corpses completely different things? No, I shouldn't guess wrong."
After hearing what I said, the prince laughed and said proudly, "I'm stupid? I think you're not very smart either. Why do you have such a lot of effort? Just open your mouth and take a look?" After that, he didn't wait for my answer, he reached out to snatch the mummy's chin, and tried hard to break the mummy's mouth.
My bearded man and I were both shocked and instinctively shouted at him: "Dangerous! Let go!" But it was too late. As soon as the mummy's mouth opened, the blood dripped on its lips was sucked in with a "hiss" sound, and disappeared without a trace. Then the mummy suddenly opened his eyes, made an extremely terrifying scream, his head slightly raised, opened his mouth and bit the prince's finger. In his dry and charred mouth, four sharp fangs also appeared at this moment.
This shocked the prince. He never expected that the mummy would wake up as soon as he woke up, and there was no sign of precaution. But the incident happened too suddenly. Even if the prince reacted quickly, he would not have time to dodge. Fortunately, the mummy was tied up very strongly by the beard. Its head was just slightly raised up. At this time, the prince subconsciously shrank his fingers. In the flash, the prince avoided the pain of the broken hand. The sharp teeth pressed against the prince's skin and then brushed across the slash. With a crisp sound, the blood demon's two rows of teeth collided together and bite into the air.
The bearded man then shouted angrily, snatched up and pinched the blood demon's upper and lower jaws, and he slid his hands, and heard a slight "click". The blood demon's chin was pulled down by the bearded man. He opened his mouth wide and could no longer bite it everywhere. A tongue was tilted to the side, which looked as terrifying as it would.
The prince was so scared by the scene just now that he came to his senses after a long time. He raised his hand and put it in front of him to look at it. He found that his fingers were still there, so he patted his chest and sighed. Then he stood up with his eyebrows, pounced on him and blew the four big mouths of the blood demon, and cursed in a low voice: "Mr. ***! I'll let you bite, I'll let you bite."
I looked at him with Coke and made fun of him and said, "It's great, don't show off. If you really call it to you, aren't you still dumbfounded? Don't bother, it doesn't hurt at all."
The prince was right to think about it, so he stopped hitting and spitted at the blood demon, then sat back angrily. Suddenly he slapped his thigh again, and his expression became extremely solemn: "***, I just realized that in such a big city, there are so many houses in the city. If there are several mummies in each house, how many blood demons will be resurrected?"
I said that I was worried about this. We have only been wandering around the corner of the city for a few times. It is not clear how big the entire city is. However, according to the proportion, it is estimated that this city is absolutely small. In a city of such a big one, there are houses in it. Even if not every house contains mummies, it will definitely not be missing. If this is the case, it would be too dangerous for us to stay here. There is no need to have too many. Just because the seven blood demons just came three or four times in a row, it is probably impossible for none of us to leave the city alive, let alone the original intention of destroying the Stone.
But you might as well think about it carefully. The two mummies in front of you were just lifted down from the upstairs. The male mummy recovered because she sucked blood, but the female mummy was always in a state of death, and no abnormality occurred. That is to say, as long as this mummy-like blood demon is not intervened or provided by the fresh blood demon, they cannot wake up independently. But there should be no other outsiders entering this ghost city before we enter. How did the Fentian Seal die? Who made the Fentian Seal look like that? Who secretly saved the Fentian Seal with blood?
Under my guidance, the bearded man slowly figured out the mystery. He replied: "What do you mean...before we enter this city, are there other living people here?"
I shook my head and sighed, "That would be great if it were humans. What I worry most is that the enemies I have been hiding are actually one or several high IQ blood monsters. They do not intend to have a head-on conflict with us, but instead activate a large number of mummy blood monsters one by one, preparing to fight a protracted battle with us. If this continues, we will be exhausted and die of exhaustion here."
Speaking of this, the prince and the bearded man were both in deep thought. All signs indicate that there are indeed other creatures in this ghost town, and the probability of being humans is very low, and it is very likely that they are blood monsters with extremely high IQ.
Looking back on the several mutations we had since entered the city, it can be completely inferred that this hidden enemy has been making trouble behind the scenes. From the death of the Fentian Seal, to the strange disappearance of the roads in the city, to the bizarre resurrection of several blood demons, if someone hadn't been hiding in the dark, then all this would be ridiculous and inexplicable.
The rumbling sounds under my feet were still not stopped. It was not difficult to imagine that the unwarranted changes in the roads in the city and the inexplicable disappearance of the city gate should be closely related to this strange sound. This sound was suddenly released after we entered the city. If I infer that, there should be two possibilities. One is that the hidden enemy activated some kind of illusion, causing us to have visual errors. The other is that the city has a super-large mechanism. Under the operation of this mechanism, the roads in the city will change. During the change, the gate will gradually shift and deviate from the position we first entered the ghost city.
The prince and the bearded man both seemed quite amazed. They thought my analysis was very reasonable. It seems that our top priority is not how to get rid of the blood demon in front of us, but to find a way to find the hidden enemy. Otherwise, the blood demons in this city will emerge one after another. No matter how big our ability or how well-equipped our equipment, we have to deal with hundreds of blood demons, even if we are really gods who come down to earth, we are powerless.
At this time, the blood demon who had just resurrected seemed a little restless again. It twisted its body desperately to break free from the constraints. A pair of blood-red eyes looked at us almost spitting out fire. I thought it was no wonder that I hadn't eaten for thousands of years. When I opened my eyes, I saw three plates of big dishes in front of me. Anyone would have a desire. So I pointed to the blood demon at the bearded man and said, "Kill it, don't let others look at us and be greedy. The other two are useless, let's go together."
The bearded man nodded and leaned over to cook the three blood demons one by one.
Then the prince asked me, "What's going on next? Where can I find the hiding grandson?"
I thought for a while, and then replied, "Let's rest first, I guess there will be no danger tonight." Then I told them my guess again.
It has been a while since those few ghost screams just now. According to common sense, if a blood demon is coming, it should have come long ago. But there is no abnormality yet, which proves that the ghost screams just now are not ordinary blood demons. I guess those enemies who have been hiding in the dark. Eighty percent of them have no blood and flesh in their hands, so they can't save other blood demons, so they can only continue to hide and wait for the best time to launch a sneak attack. This is just right. As long as we ensure that our people are not caught by the other party in the future, there will be no other blood demons resurrected. When they urgently need to obtain human flesh, they will naturally be unable to help but show up and meet each other's true seals.
After setting the general policy, I couldn't bear to let Hulutou be alone outside for a night of freezing and starving, so I went out with the bearded man to change Hulutou in, and agreed that the prince and Hulutou would come out to replace him after three hours.
While watching outside, I asked why the bearded Ding Er suddenly recovered his physical fitness. Didn’t he become weaker and weaker without eating? How could he be able to attack and defend with the blood demon later?
The bearded man said that your brain is so smart that you can't even think of this? Didn't I say before that eating Yin can only eat dead human flesh. Since he has recovered his strength, he naturally ate. You just checked the body of the Fentian Seal for a long time, but you didn't find that his intestines were missing?
I suddenly felt my stomach turbulent and almost sprayed out the sour water. I quickly shook my hand and told the bearded man not to talk further. Besides, I would be disgusted. Ding Er's behavior was not much different from the blood demon, which means that he was not bad, and he saved his life just now, otherwise I would have to kill him.
After three hours of talk, no abnormality happened. Then the prince and the gourd head came out to take over us. I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyes. I randomly hit the floor in the corner of the wall, and fell to the ground and fell asleep immediately.

It's almost the end of the month, and the recent *** has not been able to go up. Although I have stopped updating for a few days before, it has returned to normal recently. I thought I could get a few ***s, but I didn't move for a week, so... I couldn't help it...
If you have the ability, it is also a kind of comfort for me to vote for ***. Thank you everyone. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations from ***(***.***). ***. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
