The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Grievously Wounded and Unable to Hold On Anymore

”Captain Chu, we’ve found them...”

After all the Blood Drop Believers had been killed,

the other members of the Demon Hunting Team searched everywhere for the captured people.

Finally, they discovered them inside a dark room.

By the time Chu Zhengxiong, Han Bin, and Mo Ya arrived,

the room was filled with the thick, nauseating stench of blood.

CLICK...

A dim, yellow light flickered on.

Only then could Chu Zhengxiong and the others see that the room was not very large.

Ten beds were arranged side-by-side.

A person lay on each bed, their clothes stripped off.

Men and women lay there, but all signs of life were gone.

Tubes of various kinds were inserted into their bodies.

These tubes connected to a container.

The container was already half-full of fresh blood...

Upon seeing this scene,

Chu Zhengxiong’s face contorted with rage. He ground his teeth and said coldly, ”Those animals!”

Han Bin and Mo Ya’s eyes also turned icy.

It was obvious that the ten men and women on the beds were all people who practiced Martial Arts.

They had been bled to death while still alive.

This blood would be specially refined to extract its essence.

The rest would be casually discarded.

And that essence was their vital blood.

It would be used to supply that great demon, helping it to be born sooner.

This was why the Blood Drop Believers came to the Old District and started capturing Martial Artists...

It was just like how Demon Beast Meat could help Martial Artists improve their constitution and raise their cultivation level.

And in the same way, the vital blood of Martial Artists who practiced Martial Arts was of great help to demon beasts.

”Contact the Martial Arts Police Station. Let them handle the cleanup!”

A long moment later, after Chu Zhengxiong, Han Bin, and the others left the small room,

they shut the door behind them.

Their faces were grim, unwilling to look at the scene for a second longer.

A member of the Demon Hunting Team immediately nodded, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

The next moment, Chu Zhengxiong walked straight over to Lin Yi.

”Kid, we owe you big time for this.

If it wasn’t for you, we never would have found this dump. You’ve earned another...”

As Chu Zhengxiong spoke, he reached out and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

Even though the pat wasn’t hard, Lin Yi’s expression changed.

Nearby, Snow Angel quickly stepped forward. ”Captain Chu, he’s injured!”

”What? Injured? Where are you hurt?”

Chu Zhengxiong instantly grew tense.

”Wu Liang got me with a sneak attack just now. It’s nothing serious!” Lin Yi said with a smile and a shake of his head.

”Cut the crap. You’re like this and you say it’s nothing serious?”

”Here, give me your hand so I can check your pulse!”

After Chu Zhengxiong spoke, Lin Yi gave him a surprised look.

”Brother Chu, you know how to check pulses?”

”Duh, this is basic stuff. Now shut up...”

Chu Zhengxiong extended three fingers and held Lin Yi’s wrist.

His face grew serious as he fell into deep thought.

After a long moment, he said, ”Give me your other hand!”

Lin Yi didn’t say a word, simply raising his other arm.

After Chu Zhengxiong had checked the pulse in both his wrists,

he said with a grave expression, ”Xiaoxue, get him to the clinic right now. The faster the better, there’s no time to waste. This kid’s Inner Qi is in chaos. Looks like he’s badly hurt...”

”Yes, Captain Chu!”

Snow Angel quickly nodded, lifting one of Lin Yi’s arms and draping it over her shoulder.

Lin Yi smiled. ”Brother Chu, is it really that serious?”

”Stop talking nonsense! Just go! Time is life, we can’t delay any longer!”

After that was said, Snow Angel supported Lin Yi and started walking out.

Just then, Shen Yuzhe ran over to Snow Angel.

”Can I go with you?”

”Hey, you, the intern... we don’t need you to come along. Zhan Kai, Sun Lang, Xiaoyu, you three go with her. Drive carefully, and make sure you get him to the clinic. Got it?”

”Yes, sir!”

The three of them quickly responded and followed Snow Angel out.

Shen Yuzhe’s gaze followed the slowly departing Lin Yi, his eyes cold.

He clenched his jaw, his expression growing more and more furious.

Chu Zhengxiong shot him a glance and said, ”Hey, intern, what are you standing there in a daze for? Go search the area for any other clues. Don’t just stand there like a telephone pole, grinding your teeth and trying to scare people.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuzhe felt indignant,

but he didn’t dare to disobey Chu Zhengxiong. He could only suppress his anger.

He nodded and went to search for clues like the other team members.

CLICK...

Chu Zhengxiong lit a cigarette and walked over to Han Bin.

”These interns nowadays, how come none of them know how to use their heads? Each one is more dense than the last!”

Han Bin turned and looked at Chu Zhengxiong.

”What’s the deal with that guy? I get the feeling you’re more concerned about him than you are about your own team members.”

”Which guy? Who?”

Chu Zhengxiong asked, feigning confusion.

”The one wearing the clown mask!”

”Oh, him?”

Chu Zhengxiong took a deep drag from his cigarette and blew the smoke out.

After a long moment, he smiled and said, ”Do you believe in the phrase ’friends at first sight’?”

”Friends at first sight? You and him?”

Chu Zhengxiong nodded. ”The first time I saw him, I had this feeling of déjà vu!”

”It’s strange. I never used to believe in this kind of flowery stuff—thought it was pretentious. But after I met him, I started to believe in what people call ’fate’!”

”I saw him a few more times after that, but it wasn’t until Xiaoxue brought him over that one time that you could say we truly got to know each other...”

Chu Zhengxiong wasn’t being coy.

He recounted everything, from how he first met Lin Yi to how they got acquainted.

After listening, Han Bin couldn’t help but let out a ’pfft’ and burst out laughing.

”It’s really something to hear such flowery words coming out of your mouth!”

”But still, that’s not enough to convince me. There must be another reason, right?”

Chu Zhengxiong threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

”This is why I hate talking with people like you. You’re like a goddamn mind-reading worm!”

”You always manage to see right through me!”

”Just wait. I’m still trying to verify something about this. Once I’ve confirmed it, I’ll tell you the answer!”

”So what now? Do we go our separate ways and get some sleep, or do we go see the old man directly?”

Chu Zhengxiong changed the subject, no longer wanting to talk about Lin Yi.

Han Bin thought for a moment. ”It’s the middle of the night. Shouldn’t the old man be asleep? Why don’t we call Old Yang first and ask?”

”Go ahead and call. If the old man isn’t asleep, we’ll go report to him directly!”

”Alright!”

Han Bin nodded, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

Soon, the call connected, and he quickly asked, ”Old Yang, is the old man resting?”

”No, he’s been waiting for news from you all!”

”Alright then. I, Old Chu, and Mo Ya will head over right away. Tell the old man to get ready!”

Yang Yong: ”...”

After he hung up the phone,

Chu Zhengxiong and Han Bin exchanged a look.

Then, Chu Zhengxiong announced, ”Pack it up!”

...

Lin Yi sat in the car.

He could feel the Qi and Blood in his body surging and boiling.

It was becoming utterly chaotic, refusing to settle for even a moment.

His body temperature, in particular, was fluctuating wildly.

One moment he was freezing cold, the next he was sweating from the heat.

The cycle repeated over and over.

Lin Yi’s consciousness began to grow hazy.

Snow Angel, who had been by Lin Yi’s side the whole time, felt the changes in his body.

She grew more and more anxious. ”Senior Brother Sun, can you drive any faster? I don’t think Lin Yi... he’s not going to make it!”

”Okay, I’m flooring it! Uh... hurry up and call the clinic! Tell them to get ready to treat him!”

”Okay...”

Snow Angel nodded.

At that moment, she began to panic.

She took out her phone and glanced down at Lin Yi.

He had already closed his eyes and fallen into a coma.

The situation was growing more and more dangerous.

’If he doesn’t get treatment in time, I’m afraid Lin Yi might really...’

She opened her phone and scrolled through her contacts.

She quickly found a number and dialed it.

After several rings,

the call was finally answered from the other end. ”Hello? Xiaoxue, why are you calling in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”

Hearing the woman’s voice on the phone,

Snow Angel said frantically, ”Sister Qingru, are—are you at the clinic? It’s Lin Yi... I don’t think he’s going to make it!”
