"The smell of blood, sir, is the smell of blood. There is a lot of blood smell in this dyeing workshop, so much so that even the pungent dye smell cannot completely cover up the smell of blood."
"Yes, the smell of this dye has covered up most of the smell of blood. It's pretty good that you can smell it." Fang Chen also nodded approvingly.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Fang?" At this moment, a strong man in fancy clothes walked up to the two of them.
Fang Chen nodded and then asked.
"In the morning below, I wonder who you are?"
"Young Master Fang, I am the deputy captain of Xia'an County, Cheng Ming. Mr. Qin ordered me to come and meet the young master!"
"Oh, you have worked hard to become an adult." Fang Chen quickly handed over his hands and said gratefully.
Fang Chen introduced Lin Yu to Cheng Ming: "This is my slave A Lin."
"Young man A Lin, I've seen you become an adult!" Lin Yu quickly saluted him.
Cheng Ming looked at Lin Yu and then said: "I heard Master Qin say that there is a talented young man beside Mr. Fang Chen. I guess he is this one, right? He has already reached the peak of Zhenwu at the age of fifteen. Such an astonishing talent really puts our generation to shame! Haha!"
Cheng Ming's compliments made Lin Yu feel a little embarrassed.
"Haha, it's just Alin's luck. It's not worth mentioning." Fang Chen smiled and passed the topic.
"By the way, Mr. Qin, I wonder why Uncle Tang arranged for us to come here?"
Fang Chen didn't know the reason for coming here.
Hearing Fang Chen's question, a gloomy look appeared on Cheng Ming's face.
"A few days ago, one of my cronies was killed. He was investigating the Blood Demon case before his death. Through the messages he left before his death, we investigated one by one and finally found this place."
It was obvious that he hated the Blood Demon deeply.
"So, could this be the lair of the Blood Demon?" Lin Yu expressed his guess.
"That's most likely the case now."
Cheng Ming nodded and agreed with Lin Yu's statement.
"In the past few days, I have disguised myself and entered this dyeing shop, but found nothing. The shopkeepers and clerks inside are very normal ordinary people. The blood demon is afraid of light and heat, but there is nothing strange about them working under the scorching sun. "Cheng Ming said in a deep voice, "However, when I sneaked in, I could feel that there seemed to be an extremely hidden basement in this dyeing workshop, but I searched again and again and still couldn't find the entrance."
"Although I didn't go in, I could feel the extremely strong smell of blood in the basement, and I could even vaguely hear a woman's scream."
Hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lin Yu's face was full of surprise.
"Master Cheng, how do you plan to act?" Fang Chen asked with the same serious expression.
"Originally, I was still worried about how to act. These blood magic powers are extremely powerful. With just the few people under my command, even if this dyeing shop is really the blood demon's lair, I am not sure that I can take them down."
Having said this, he looked at Lin Yu and Fang Chen excitedly.
"Now with the help of the two of us, our urgent need has been solved. Even if there are blood demons in this dyeing workshop, I believe we will be able to catch them all."
Later, Cheng Ming told him his arrangement.
"Now, I have ordered my subordinates to secretly distribute themselves around the dye house, preparing to secretly surround it. I have also prepared a team of people to rush in at any time."
"And it's daytime now, with the scorching sun in the sky. These blood demons are very afraid of light and don't dare to rush out of this dyeing workshop. As long as you two take action, it will be absolutely easy to eliminate them."
At this moment, an officer and soldier ran over and whispered a few words in Cheng Ming's ear.
After hearing the officer's report, Cheng Ming looked happy and immediately said to Fang Chen and Lin Yu.
"You two, this dyeing workshop has been completely surrounded by my people now, you can take action!"
Fang Chen also nodded.
"Sooner rather than later, adults, let's get started!"
"Go down with the order and prepare for action!" Cheng Ming immediately ordered the officers and soldiers.
The officer and soldier received the order and quickly informed other officers and soldiers.
Then, a group of officers and soldiers rushed over, followed by Cheng Ming, Fang Chen and Lin Yu, and walked straight towards the gate of the dyeing workshop.
"Don't move, everyone, raise your hands!"
After rushing into the dye house, the officers and soldiers immediately drew their swords and controlled the workers in the dye house.
"Keep an eye on all these people and don't let anyone go!" Cheng Ming ordered the officers and soldiers, "Everyone else is going to search. If you find anything suspicious, report it immediately!"
"My lord, what are you doing?" A fat man was held at knifepoint by an officer and soldier and walked up to Cheng Ming.
"Are you the shopkeeper here? I am the deputy commander of this county, Cheng Ming. I now suspect that there is a blood demon hiding in your dyeing workshop!"
"How could it be possible? Our Ping'an Dyeing Shop is a time-honored brand that has been operating for more than ten years. How could it be related to something like the Blood Demon?" The obese man looked surprised.
"Sir, the basement has been found!" an officer and soldier suddenly reported.
Hearing the words of the officer and soldier, the short and fat man was suddenly frightened.
"Let's go to the basement!"
Cheng Ming glared at the shopkeeper, and then led everyone towards the basement.
…
Everyone walked through the stairs and came to the basement.
As soon as I walked into the basement, I discovered that there were actually six solid dungeons in the basement.
The dungeon is sealed with a heavy steel door and is almost completely isolated from the outside world.
"Someone, help!"
"Is there anyone? Someone come and save me!"
In the dungeon, the girl's cries for help kept coming.
Cheng Ming walked to the cell door and asked the girls inside.
"What's going on? Where are you from? How could you be imprisoned here?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Upon hearing Cheng Ming's question, the girls in the dungeon did not answer directly, but started crying one by one.
They were clearly frightened by the experience of being locked up here.
Okay, don't cry. I am Cheng Ming, the deputy captain of Xia'an County. Girls, I am here to save you. "
After learning that Cheng Ming was the deputy captain of Xia'an County, many girls came to their senses and stopped crying.
"Sir, my family lives on North Street of Yong'an City. I was captured by the Blood Demon."
"Sir, I live in the western suburbs of Yong'an City. I was also captured by the Blood Demon."
"I'm also from the western suburbs, and I was captured by the Blood Demon."
"Me too, me too!"
"Master, please save us too, please save us!"
When the girls in other cells heard that Cheng Ming said he was here to rescue them, they immediately felt like they had found a life-saving straw, and they all opened their mouths to announce their homes.
Through the oral accounts of these girls, Cheng Ming found out that they were all local people in Yong'an City, but they were captured and imprisoned here by the blood demon.
"Open this cell door!"
Seeing this situation, Cheng Ming immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to open the cell door in front of him.
With Cheng Ming's instruction, an officer and soldier immediately struck the door lock with a knife and opened the cell door.
Everyone on the field looked nervous and stared at the steel door that slowly opened.
I'm afraid that some extremely terrifying monster will pop out here.
After the cell door opened, everyone saw clearly that there were indeed five young girls locked up in the dungeon.
"Master, help me!"
As soon as the cell door opened, the girl inside rushed out immediately.
"Open all the other cell doors!"
After understanding the situation, Cheng Ming immediately ordered to open the cell door and release the other girls in the dungeon.
After all these girls came out, everyone finally understood the situation in the dungeon.
There are five girls in each of the six dungeons, and there are a total of thirty girls in the entire dungeon.
After rescuing the girls, Cheng Ming ordered the officers and soldiers to send the girls to Renxin Hall for treatment and examination by Divine Doctor Wu.
"These girls were all captured by the Blood Demon. It seems that this place is really the Blood Demon's lair. But where is the Blood Demon?"
From what the girls said, Cheng Ming was certain that this place was the Blood Demon's lair, but he couldn't find any trace of the Blood Demon in the basement.
"Sir, there is a sarcophagus in the front room!" An officer and soldier rushed to report.
"What! Where is it? Take me there quickly!"
Later, under the guidance of the officer and soldier, everyone came to a huge independent room underground, with eight sarcophagi neatly placed in the room.
The officers and soldiers leading the way said to Cheng Ming: "These eight sarcophagi are extremely heavy. We brothers just tried, but even with our combined efforts, we couldn't move them away."
Cheng Ming stepped forward and touched the sarcophagus, feeling its texture.
I don’t know what kind of material this sarcophagus is made of. It is hard and heavy, and it feels cool to the touch.
"Sir, what should we do with these sarcophagi?" the officer and soldier asked.
"Mr. Fang, what do you think?" Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows and asked Fang Chen beside him.
"this……"
When Fang Chen was hesitating whether to open the sarcophagus, the lid of one of the sarcophagi suddenly rose into the sky, hit the ceiling, and then crashed to the ground.
A ferocious-looking monster jumped out of the sarcophagus. It was the Blood Demon that everyone had been looking for.
"What!"
The officers and soldiers were first frightened by the sudden opening of the sarcophagus. After seeing the appearance of the blood demon, they all drew their swords and slashed at the blood demon.
However, when everyone's blades struck the Blood Demon, it was as if they were striking a hard stone, and he jumped away on the spot.
Not even the blood demon's skin was damaged.
Suddenly struck by so many blades, the blood demon seemed to be enraged, and he immediately bared his fangs and charged at the officers and soldiers holding the knives.
"not good!"
The officers and soldiers were still in shock when the Blood Demon quickly swung his claws and pierced the bodies of the two officers and soldiers on the spot.
"ah!"
Seeing that two of their companions were stabbed on the spot, the other officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel fear, and looked at the blood demon in front of them in horror.
Just when the blood demon was about to turn around and attack other officers and soldiers, a blood-red light flashed through, and a ball of fire exploded from its body. The huge impact of the explosion instantly blew it away and hit the wall heavily. superior.
At this time, Lin Yu at the door frowned, and there was a trace of white smoke coming out of his palm.
"pretty!"
The officers and soldiers didn't know who the two people following Cheng Ming were at first, but when they saw Lin Yu severely injuring the blood demon with just one move, they immediately understood that these two people must be the masters invited by Cheng Ming.
The blood demon leaned against the wall and was just about to get up when Lin Yu exploded another palm cannon on it, stopping its movement.
"Ouch!"
The blood demon roared and wanted to get away from the wall, but Lin Yu fired the palm cannon one after another, completely nailing it to the wall, making it unable to move.
Lin Yu suppressed the blood demon with his palm cannon, and felt very happy in his heart. The shame he suffered last time would be repaid to these blood demons twice as much today!
