Chapter 719: Chapter 709: Hair, One Eye, Vocal Cords

After numerous attempts, Wen Wen finally gave up on trying to destroy the stomach on the spot.

Because in a sense, this thing was immortal.

Even if Wen Wen smashed it into particles the size of flour, even if it was burned to charcoal by fierce fire, it still wriggled, and given enough time, it would eventually coalesce into a stomach again.

There was an execution room inside the Sanctuary that could completely eradicate such undead creatures, but the problem was that this thing could not be brought into the Sanctuary.

After thinking for two seconds, Wen Wen took out a metal box, collected the mud nearby, and brought these things to the Hunters Association in Xihong City.

At the moment, it seemed he could only leave the matter to the Hunters Association.

...

Tao Qingqing stood in front of the car wash, watching the car washer blast the sports car with a water gun.

Three Cubs perched nervously on her shoulder, watching the water gun, desperately hoping that the traces left by the locust impacts wouldn’t wash off because then it wouldn’t have to serve as a driver.

Even though driving felt alright, driving was ultimately not a job for a snake.

Driving a tank was!

Tao Qingqing ignored Three Cubs and instead, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, vigilantly scanning her surroundings; the city made her feel uneasy to her core.

She couldn’t pinpoint where this feeling originated, nor had she sensed any powerful qi, but the repulsive feeling lingered like a shadow.

This feeling stemmed from the instincts of a vampire, as if she was in the territory of a monster far stronger and more restraining against her.

Suddenly, she glanced into the alley next to the repair shop and saw a man with a withered expression, staring at her with bloodshot eyes...

Realizing Tao Qingqing had spotted him, the man retracted his head.

"Staring at me sneakily, looking all proper, that man definitely has a problem."

"He seems like an ordinary person in terms of qi, but..."

Tao Qingqing’s hand trembled, and a tiny red bat flew out from her sleeve, quietly following the man.

She was curious about the man but chose not to pursue him personally, or even planned to actively keep her distance.

Having helped Wen Wen with various tasks for so long, she knew how dangerous this world could be. If careless at all times, vampires might not live longer than ordinary humans.

Judging by the man’s appearance, he must have encountered supernatural powers; after all, what are the chances that a normal person fully recovers from a supernatural event?

Perhaps the man had already fallen prey and had come out just to lure her in.

In this unsettling city, being overly cautious couldn’t hurt.

Her little bat easily caught up with the man and seeing him walk increasingly into remote areas, she grew more certain he was trouble.

The tiny bat lightly tapped the man’s shoulder with its claw. The man, puzzled, turned his head and saw the eyes of the little bat, his expression instantly becoming confused.

The bat, a split-off from Tao Qingqing, possessed some of her abilities, at least enough to hypnotize a few ordinary people and extract some information.

In human speech, the bat asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

The man dully responded, "My name is Wei Jixian, and I am a supporter of the Hunters Association. I’m here seeking assistance."

Upon hearing he was a supporter, Tao Qingqing, controlling the bat, relaxed slightly and then asked, "If you are a supporter, why aren’t you seeking help from someone in the Hunters Association?"

"It all started a few nights ago, when I was returning to my hometown on a bus..."

Wei Jixian then recounted what had happened that night and afterward told Tao Qingqing, "All the Demon Hunters in Xihong City have died, and a terrifying monster has set its sights on me. I can’t be in crowded places..."

Wei Jixian’s words were logical, which made Tao Qingqing somewhat believe him and consider introducing him to Wen Wen to handle the matter.

But suddenly, the little bat saw that Wei Jixian’s hair seemed to have grown longer than before, which, combined with the monster he mentioned that controlled hair, immediately made it clear what was really happening.

Wei Jixian had been parasitized by that monster that night, and now what appeared before Tao Qingqing was nothing but a puppet used for hunting by the monster.

Realizing this, Tao Qingqing immediately controlled the bat to soar into the air.

At the same time, Wei Jixian’s hair started to grow wildly, resembling the hair-control ability of the Corrupt Blood.

Fortunately, the little bat’s flight was highly agile, and with its prior vigilance, it narrowly escaped from that place.

Then the little bat’s wings flickered rapidly as it sped back to Tao Qingqing’s side.

Losing such a bat, which possessed certain abilities and intelligence, would be a loss for Tao Qingqing, so she didn’t want to risk it unless absolutely necessary.

Just as the little bat was about to fly back into her body, Tao Qingqing suddenly sensed something amiss and urgently made the little bat stop.

"If the thing controlling Wei Jixian is targeting me, it probably won’t harm the little bat before it sees my actual body."

"Moreover, the unusual hair growth seems to be something it deliberately wanted me to notice."

Tao Qingqing bit her lip and made the bat, which was about to reach her side, stop.

The little bat tilted its head, looking at Tao Qingqing with puzzled, wide eyes, not understanding why its owner had ordered it to halt.

"Disappear!"

As Tao Qingqing watched the little bat, a glint of red flickered in her eyes.

The red bat immediately dissipated into a mist of blood, and a black hair fell from it.

"As expected, there’s a problem!" Tao Qingqing exclaimed in hindsight.

Although she belonged to the Blood Clan of the Disaster Lower Order, certainly having stronger resistance than an ordinary person like Wei Jixian, who knew what terrifying abilities that hair could harbor?

In the alley, the dark long hair on Wei Jixian’s body wildly grew, weaving into a black robe, and then he began to run swiftly towards Tao Qingqing.

Since luring her failed, he decided to attack directly!

But he had only just reached the mouth of the alley when he stopped, because just then, a flash of blue light swept past, and Wen Wen appeared next to Tao Qingqing, carrying a metal box.

Wen Wen was back!

Wen Wen emitted a very strong aura, and he was not an opponent he could take lightly yet, so he couldn’t just venture out.

Wei Jixian began to retreat but then suddenly fixed his stare on Wen Wen, his left eye starting to ooze thick blood, his eyeballs rolling incessantly.

"My... stomach... is on him... seize him... take back my stomach..."

Wen Wen immediately sensed the intense malice and, without hesitation, fired a black energy cannon in that direction, shattering Wei Jixian’s body outright.

But when Wen Wen teleported in front of Wei Jixian, he saw a clump of black hair dragging an eye and a vocal cord, swiftly burrowing into the sewer.

Then the aura completely disappeared...
