I can't be a demon.

Chapter 32 Feel the Despair

Hu Baochang kept walking, and rubble continued to fall.

"I have to hurry up and not miss the opportunity."

"My internal strength is limited by my aptitude and it is difficult to improve. If I had an iron corpse to help me, I would definitely be able to get several times more resources."

It can be seen that his state of mind can no longer remain calm. After all, Shen Lian's performance has refreshed his cognition time and time again. He dare not imagine what level the iron corpse he has refined can reach.

While walking on the road, Hu Baochang saw a oxpecker and saw that the yellow paper had been burned out.

When the two letters were exposed to the air, flesh and blood grew on their surface, a faint resentment overflowed, and ghosts gradually formed.

The ghosts were a man and a woman, both in their thirties or forties, with confused expressions.

If the recipient was present, they would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the ghost looked exactly like their relatives who died in Gaojia Town.

"It turns out to be a scapegoat. Have the ghosts in Gaojia Town begun to overrun?"

When a scapegoat eats a person, not only will its appearance gradually become similar to that of the deceased, but its behavior will also become almost the same.

Oxpeckers swept past the pawn shop.

Shen Lian had already dealt with the corpse and returned to the room with more than ten kilograms of yellow sand. After all, he had just broken through the bone training realm and still needed to consolidate it.

Without any need for Hu Baochang's guidance, the scapegoat instinctively targeted Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's injuries had not yet healed, and the smell of blood was something that ordinary demons could not resist. After eating it, he would benefit from at least twenty years of Taoism.

Hu Baochang just needs to rush to the pawnshop and wait for the opportunity to reap the rewards.

but……

In order to prevent the government from noticing anything, all the mortals around the pawnshop had to be killed. Since there were demons around, it was normal for dozens of people to die.

If it really doesn't work, just burn it.

"Hu Baochang!!!"

Zhu Yihong chased out of the yamen, his eyes fixed on Hu Baochang's back.

The direction of the yamen near the prison was shrouded in white fog, which showed that the Jinwu Guards had set up a location in the hinterland to attract demons. There were a total of three Jinwu Guards guarding different areas of the prison.

Only Hu Baochang chose to live in a densely populated urban area.

"You little bitch, you're such a troublemaker."

Hu Baochang had a resentful expression on his face, and spat out a large number of dead birds that looked like insects and birds from his mouth. He dodged Zhu Yihong's pursuit while erasing his own breath.

He looked back and saw Zhu Yihong had been entangled by the dead bird.

"Why are you fighting with me?"

Hu Baochang couldn't wait to come to the pawnshop. The two scapegoats entered the 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, but Shen Lian won’t die so easily.

Hu Baochang hoped that there would be a trace of resentment left in the corpse, which would make it much easier to refine the corpse.

"go."

The oxpeckers followed closely behind.

Hu Baochang stared at the wing room, and traces of the fight with the half-demon a few days ago came into view, but there was no trace of demonic aura left.

"The demonic aura cannot be eradicated. Even if it is placed outside, it will be exposed to the sun for three days, and the house will become even darker. Could it be that it is being exorcised with an evil-repellent?"

Hu Baochang immediately denied it.

Where did the alchemist come from in Yanliang Town? It can’t be that there is a big demon lurking in the town.

"Ah~Call me Master Ba~"

The starling landed next to the oxpecker, its eyes full of curiosity.

Hu Baochang ignored the mynah bird and was already thinking about how to refine the corpse until he found the scapegoat stopped in front of the door of the wing.

The scapegoat's resentment collapsed for no reason, and his cultivation level declined for four to five years.

"A ghost is hurting itself?"

Hu Baochang suddenly felt fear in the scapegoat.

That's right.

It was as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

Then, the lingering starling opened its beak, and endless black air surged out, and all the resentment disappeared.

"Call me Eighth Master~" Hu Baochang froze in place, still maintaining a twisted smile.

A demon that was six or seven meters long was crawling out of the starling's body. In an instant, countless hideous ghosts filled the pawnshop.

The nine-eared demon glanced at the oxpeckers and pierced through the two scapegoats with its tail.

The scapegoats couldn't even open their mouths to beg for mercy, because the gap in their cultivation was so huge that their remaining intelligence had already been destroyed.

"Thousand... Thousand-year-old demon?!!"

Hu Baochang's legs went limp and he didn't react immediately.

Who could have thought that there was a thousand-year-old demon lurking in a pawn shop? Could it be that the thousand-year-old demon also regarded Shen Lian as its blood food?
Soon, Hu Baochang completely dispelled the unrealistic idea.

Because Shen Lian is not a human being at all.

He finally understood why there was no trace of demonic aura in the pawn shop. A lair where demons had been lurking for thousands of years would not tolerate any abnormality.

"The... the second thousand-year-old demon, what is Shen Lian's true identity?"

Black gas also came out of the bone blade, gathering into the shadow of Shen Lian's feet like a swallow returning to its nest, and a bloody mouth slowly emerged.

Click 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 he?!!"

The bloody mouth licked its lips greedily.

Hu Baochang's hair stood on end. He felt uneasy about the spying from the thousand-year-old demon, and he quickly used his hands and feet to escape from the pawnshop.

In order to protect himself, he kept howling for help.

Unfortunately, most of the government staff were in the prison. The people who heard the noise closed their doors and windows, guessing that there was a drunk and crazy idiot outside.

Hu Baochang rolled and crawled until his throat was hoarse.

The strange thing was that the thousand-year-old demon didn't seem to have any intention of killing him completely. He fled to the junction of the east and west city areas in fear and confusion.

"I have to leave Yanliang Town immediately!"

"What kind of soul-calling case is this? The existence behind it is beyond imagination. Even a thousand-year-old demon is involved!!"

Hu Baochang covered his chest and gasped with lingering fear, his shadow reflected on the old wall.

The moonlight filled the streets.

Shadow's limbs began to lengthen.

The two's movements were no longer consistent, and Shadow covered his mouth and laughed in a strange and inexplicable manner.

Hu Baochang quickly took out his fake eye. The densely packed dead birds tried to block him, but Shadow's abdomen opened into a bloody mouth.

He wrapped his tongue around the dead birds and swallowed them whole into his mouth.

"Ah ah ah..."

Hu Baochang collapsed and covered his head with his hands, his tongue already entangled with himself.

No means are of any avail. Once a demon has been practicing for a thousand years, it cannot be killed by piling up human lives.

With a huge mouthful, he swallowed Hu Baochang into his stomach.

Click click click.

After chewing for a while, a look of disgust appeared in his bloody mouth. Living beings did not provide any nutrients at all, but the monsters enjoyed eating it more.

Pooh.

The bloody mouth spat out bone fragments, among which was Hu Baochang's artificial eye.

Myna flashed by, grabbed the fake eye and flew to the pawn shop.

.........

Wait till early morning.

The corner where the bone residue was was surrounded by yamen runners.

The three Jinwu Guards were extremely solemn. Combining the information obtained by the yamen runners, they believed that 80% of the wreckage came from the suddenly missing Hu Baochang.

As they finished the combing process, they felt a chill running down their spines.

Hu Baochang hurriedly ran through the city, with nothing behind him, as if he was avoiding an invisible and unknown demon, and finally died on the street.
