Urban Demon Refining System

Following the location on his phone map, Zhao Baichuan tracked the route and eventually arrived at a remote location.

Because part of the city hospital's buildings still retain the style of the late 90s, some floors were abandoned, and some areas were even used as warehouses. Behind these floors, there is also an abandoned concrete basketball court.

"A hospital actually has a place like this!" Zhao Baichuan swallowed hard, muttering to himself in fear. He hadn't expected this monster to appear here. He calmed himself down and tiptoed towards the abandoned basketball court. The map showed that the monster was right there!

Having been abandoned for so long, the cement ground here is riddled with cracks, and even a few weeds have grown inside. Two rusty basketball hoops stand drooping on either side of the court, one of which has lost its rim, leaving only a bare backboard, giving it a desolate feel.

"Scan!" After confirming that the monster was lurking in this area, Zhao Baichuan began scanning around with his phone, and soon he discovered something.

"There it is!" Under the scan of the phone camera, wisps of black mist can be seen shrouding the basketball hoop without a basket.

"Ding! Monster detected! Scan?"

"Confirmed!" Zhao Baichuan stared intently at the phone screen. Through the system's scan, the owner of the black mist slowly revealed his true form.

"Ding! Vampire detected. Player, please be aware!"

"Beep beep!" The moment the eerie female voice sounded, a blood-red bat suddenly darted out of the black mist and pounced towards Zhao Baichuan.

"Oh no!" He clearly hadn't expected this situation. His body instinctively leaned back, and a bat whistled past his cheek, leaving a small wound on his face. Blood flowed down his temple.

"Hehe! You've got some nerve! It's been a long time since any human has ventured here," the blood-red bat chuckled, its mouth uttering a human voice.

"You...you can talk!?" Zhao Baichuan was startled, never expecting that this strange bat could actually speak human language.

"Hehe! I thought some great expert had come here, but it turns out to be a newbie. Perfect, I'm hungry too. You'll be my dinner tonight." With that, the vampire flapped its wings and swooped down towards Zhao Baichuan's head, its claws aimed at his skull.

"Flower Fairy! Three-Colored Lizard! Come out, both of you!" Zhao Baichuan was startled and summoned both of the demons at once.

"Oh ho, you even have helpers. Tell me, are you from Mount Shu or Kunlun?" The vampire was also surprised to see the flower fairy and the three-colored lizard. He actually stopped his charge and showed a hesitant expression.

"Looks like this guy is quite wary of Mount Shu and Kunlun!" Zhao Baichuan's eyes darted around as he said, "Haha! Scared now! Let me tell you, I am a third-generation disciple of Mount Shu. Quickly hand over your treasures, or when all the disciples of Mount Shu come together, we'll slaughter you without leaving a trace!"

"What? You really came for the Blood Jade!"

"Blood Jade? What is that?" Zhao Baichuan was taken aback. He had no idea what the vampire meant by Blood Jade, but adhering to his principle of deceiving people to the end, he continued, "That's right! We've come here for that Blood Jade. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly, or when my senior brothers and sisters arrive, they'll suppress you on Mount Shu, where you'll never be able to rise again!"

"You mean you're all alone now?" The vampire squinted in a human-like manner. "Hmph! If you want my Blood Jade, then I'll have to silence you first!" With that, it flapped its wings and swooped down again.

"Oh no! We've gone too far!" Zhao Baichuan could easily tell what the vampire meant. "Huahua, tricolor lizard, block it!"

"Hua Hua!" The flower fairy quickly floated in front of Zhao Baichuan and made a defensive move, while the three-colored lizard was much less powerful. Under the pressure of the vampire's aura, it was so frightened that it lay on the ground without moving, obviously unable to exert any strength.

"That damn thing!" Zhao Baichuan stomped his feet in anger, but this was not the time to be angry. "Flower! Use Flower Scattering! Stop it!"

"Swish!" A dense rain of petals fell from the sky, instantly forming a thick curtain of flowers within two meters of Zhao Baichuan's body. "Bang!" The vampire crashed into it, but the enormous impact was actually bounced back.

"Interesting!" The vampire calmly tried twice more, but the result was the same: the flower curtain was incredibly tough and he couldn't break through it at all.

"Haha! It's working! Hua Hua, you're amazing!" Zhao Baichuan listened nervously to the noises outside. After confirming that the vampire couldn't break in, he couldn't help but relax. However, he immediately became worried again. "I was too reckless this time. Xiao Mo is still waiting for me at the hospital. How am I going to get out of here!"

"This kid from Mount Shu isn't very strong, but his shell is pretty hard!" After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, the vampire gave up on the useless attacks and decided to change his strategy. He climbed into the air, his belly bulging as if he was preparing something.

"Huh? Why is it so quiet?" Zhao Baichuan, who was thinking of a way to escape, was suddenly stunned. The vampire had stopped attacking?

"Boy! Watch me shatter your shell!" The vampire opened his mouth, and a sharp sonic wave shot towards the flower curtain.

"Hua Hua, let's go out..." Zhao Baichuan was just about to check the situation outside when suddenly, a strong sound wave entered his ears, making his head go numb. The flower fairy was also caught off guard, her body swayed, and she immediately lost control of the flower curtain.

"Swish!" The petals fell to the ground instantly, tearing apart the once solid floral curtain!

"Hehehe! Where do you think you're going!" The vampire opened its mouth, and the surrounding black mist was instantly sucked away. Its body, originally the size of a basketball, swelled to the size of an adult in an instant, and sharp fangs grew from its already ferocious mouth.

"It's been so long since I've tasted the deliciousness of fresh human blood, and this is even the blood of a disciple of Mount Shu!" At this moment, the vampire looked at Zhao Baichuan as if he were looking at prey. "So what if they're from Mount Shu? I'll eat them without hesitation!"

Zhao Baichuan was still dizzy from the sudden sound waves and was unable to put up any effective resistance. He could only watch helplessly as the vampire bit off his neck. "Gulp!" A mouthful of blood was swallowed by the vampire, and his eyes immediately showed a look of intoxication. "Hehe, a rare delicacy..." However, the next moment, this intoxicated expression froze.
