Chapter 1011: Chapter 983 Infiltration

Upon hearing the voice, Li Chen instinctively turned his head to look behind him.

Li Chen was somewhat surprised to find that the person walking towards him was actually a brown-haired human male.

"Friend, can your medicine quickly stop bleeding?" The brown-haired man looked at Li Chen, his gaze appearing somewhat urgent.

"Lotus, he said he would sell this medicine to me. Are you here to steal my business?" Seeing the brown-haired man approach, the Earth Demon Clan boss immediately showed some displeasure.

"Bonk, we can discuss this later. If the medicine is real, I indeed need it very much. Rest assured, I will compensate you!" The man known as Lotus turned and spoke quickly to the Earth Demon Clan boss.

Upon hearing the word ’compensation,’ the Earth Demon Clan boss stopped speaking.

At this moment, Lotus looked at Li Chen with a hint of nervousness.

"That’s right, my medicine can indeed stop bleeding quickly." Seeing the man’s gaze, Li Chen immediately understood and responded calmly.

Lotus’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Friend, one of my friends was accidentally slashed across half his abdomen by a Silver-eyed Mountain Cat during a battle with a demon beast. Although he has barely stabilized his injury, the bleeding just won’t stop. Once the True Qi treatment stops, he immediately hemorrhages again. Can your medicine work in this situation?"

As Lotus spoke, he fixed his gaze on Li Chen.

Li Chen’s face faintly revealed arrogance as he responded, "As long as there’s bleeding, my medicine can be effective!"

"Really?!" Lotus’s face lit up with joy, "Can you sell your medicine to me?"

Li Chen’s lips curled into a smile, "What price can you offer?"

Li Chen had been talking about selling the medicine before but hadn’t discussed the price, because, honestly, he didn’t know how much it could be sold for.

He had learned that in this world, currency circulation existed, with a kind of thing called ’Energy Stones.’

"Ten Lower-grade Energy Stones!" Lotus hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth, "That’s the highest price I can offer. My brother’s condition is urgent, so I don’t want to haggle anymore!"

"Deal." Li Chen smiled, then handed the bottle originally placed on the table to Lotus.

Holding the bottle, for some unknown reason, Lotus hesitated.

Seeing Lotus’s expression, Li Chen immediately understood what he was thinking. He shook his head and then pulled out a dagger, slicing his own palm.

A slender wound appeared on Li Chen’s palm, with blood constantly seeping from it, yet Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

Li Chen opened the bottle and poured some medicinal powder out.

As the medicinal powder scattered onto Li Chen’s palm, the bleeding wound immediately stopped bleeding and even quickly formed a scab.

Anyone who hadn’t seen it with their own eyes might think it was an old wound of over ten days.

"Thank you!" Lotus looked deeply at Li Chen, then took out a small bag from his body, handed it to Li Chen, and turned to leave.

"Interesting." Watching Lotus leave, Li Chen’s lips curled slightly into a faint smile.

Lotus’s strength wasn’t particularly strong but the Mysterious Level Intermediate Stage of strength wasn’t considered weak either.

Of course, that’s not the point.

The point is, previously Lotus seemed to want to probe Li Chen’s strength, but is he able to detect Li Chen’s current strength?

Naturally, after exploring for a long time, he found nothing.

In Lotus’s investigation, Li Chen was just an ordinary person.

But judging by the suspicion in Lotus’s eyes, he clearly didn’t believe Li Chen was just an ordinary human.

Of course, none of this mattered to Li Chen, because he planned to leave the Earth Demon Clan’s territory right after finishing his business.

"Is it there?" Li Chen looked toward the castle and then walked into an ordinary shop, tossed down a Lower-grade Energy Stone, and checked into a room.

Li Chen’s actions appeared very practiced, as if he were a regular customer who had been in Earth Demon City for a long time.

To be a good assassin, the most important thing is not just the skills in killing.

Before killing, disguising yourself is more important.

Only after the sky gradually darkened did Li Chen quietly disappear from the room.

In the pitch-black night, Li Chen’s body moved like a boneless cat, continuously jumping along the side of the rooftops.

Those who run around on rooftops are the real fools; such conspicuous places, even at night, can be easily spotted by higher positioned sentinels. The side with cover is the best route for action.

Silently, Li Chen infiltrated the castle which appeared like a manor.

"This should be the stronghold of the Earth Demon Clan, right?" Li Chen slightly raised his head, seeing not far away a glow completely different from other places.

This world lacked artificial light, so most places were naturally pitch black at night.

But only the central area of this castle was exceptionally dazzling.

"Oil lamps refined from the fat of demon beasts? It seems there are still clever ones among these guys." Li Chen’s nose twitched slightly, and he stealthily crept over.

From that brightly lit area came bursts of laughter, the atmosphere seeming quite lively.

Footsteps suddenly echoed, Li Chen quickly maneuvered to the side of a house at the fastest speed.

Turning his head slightly, he saw a somewhat drunken Earth Demon Clan member staggering towards him.

Unlike ordinary Earth Demon Clan members, the clothes on this one were evidently much more luxurious, with very fine workmanship; one glance revealed his distinction from other Earth Demon Clan members.

"It seems these guys were right after all." Li Chen nodded slightly and moved his feet, reaching behind this Earth Demon Clan member, and struck lightly.

"Bang!"

The robust body of the Earth Demon Clan member immediately stiffened and fell to the ground.

"He actually had Mysterious Level strength?" Somewhat surprised, Li Chen glanced at the Earth Demon Clan member he had knocked unconscious and looked towards the brightly lit area, his gaze changing.

"Indeed, only those with strong powers can enjoy entirely different privileges." Rubbing his hands, Li Chen felt he should change his strategy.
