Chapter 45 Loot

In the spacious bedroom, the burly, black coachman struggled to push a white car. The white tortoise car emitted a high-pitched whine, its rear end a chaotic mess, while its front end limply rested on the ground.

The other four cars were scattered haphazardly, stalled on the side of the road. The moment the starlight rose, the demon beast Haas immediately sensed it and turned his gaze over.

A Star Official.

He stood at one meter and ninety centimeters, with sleek, black skin. When he wasn't speaking, he was a study in dark elements, save for the whites of his eyes.

His physique was extraordinarily robust, comparable to a bodybuilder, every muscle brimming with power. One could imagine how exaggerated his speed and strength would be when he tensed his waist.

"You're from the Heavenly Punishment. When did the New Covenant State's Heavenly Punishment branch get a Star Official? Now that I think about it, you were in the Five Elements Alliance's support team." The demon beast Haas tossed aside the woman in front of him. With a "pop," the woman tumbled limply off the bed.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the demon beast Haas's crotch and tutted. "The demon beast is short, small, and weak. Shameful!"

Haas's heart pounded wildly a few times. He felt his blood pressure soar. He felt an unbearable humiliation, and rage, along with blood, rushed to his head, destroying his reason.

"You will pay the price for this." He grinned hideously and pulled a pitch-black wooden box from his inventory.

With a "click," he opened it. Deep darkness surged from within the box, dimming the bright incandescent lights and casting a dark veil over everything in the room.

The sounds and images in the bedroom were obscured by this layer of dark veil.

"'Eternal Night' class item." Zhang Yuanqing looked at the black wooden box, a pleasant smile on his face. Collecting loot was one of his main purposes.

While waiting for the team to arrive, Zhang Yuanqing had been subtly influencing the demon beast Haas's emotions. The other party was also a level six peak expert, and to dominate his emotions required a sufficient amount of time.

He first stimulated the demon beast Haas's lust, causing him to indulge in desire. Among all emotions, desire is the easiest to weaken willpower.

Then he began to ignite the demon beast Haas's arrogant and wild bestial nature, and as expected, it was much easier.

Before, in the room, with only women who had become playthings, his arrogant and wild nature had nowhere to vent. Now that an enemy had arrived, the demon beast Haas's long-brewing emotions burst forth. Without thinking, he implemented a "close the door and beat the dog" strategy.

"No matter who you are, no matter what organization you belong to, if you dare to offend me, you must die." A mini-volcano-like round hole opened in the demon beast Haas's dark, lithe body.

Heh heh heh…

The women on the bed and the floor writhed in agony, emitting unconscious roars from their throats.

After inhaling the poisonous smoke, their naked bodies underwent a terrifying transformation. Black scales grew on one of the fair-skinned women. A slit opened on her neck, and gills sprouted. Her eyes turned as small as mung beans, and her mouth filled with fangs. In an instant, she transformed into a fish-man.

The other four prostitutes underwent similar transformations. One turned into a canine creature, one into an insect-person with reversed knees, and one grew three pairs of pale, two-meter-long arms, becoming a disheveled spider.

Black-purple smoke enveloped the spider-woman.

Zhang Yuanqing inevitably caught some of the poison in the room. He felt his cells undergoing some kind of mutation, dividing and recombining differently.

He looked down in shock and saw webbing growing between his fingers. His trouser legs tore as two small, strange feet sprouted from his knees. "The demon beast Haas dared to fight me in a closed environment. So he intended to mutate my body," Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized.

This was the core skill of the "Aberrant" class: Aberration. It could both aberrate oneself to gain monstrous power and aberrate the target. Once the target's aberration was complete, they would lose their reason and completely submit to and obey their master.

Before Zhang Yuanqing could react, the demon beast Haas's eyes turned gray-white as he stared intently, firing a beam of gray-white light.

This beam of light was extraordinarily fast, almost giving no one a chance to react.

Crack crack crack…

Zhang Yuanqing's waist rapidly petrified, slowly spreading towards his chest and legs.

This was the powerful control skill of the Poison Master. The lower the level when hit by the petrifying beam, the faster the petrification. Extraordinary practitioners would instantly turn into stone statues when hit by the petrifying beam.

There was no antidote to the petrifying beam. It could not be resolved with purification. It could only be reversed by killing the caster.

"Kill him!" The demon beast Haas said in a deep voice.

The five eager-to-try demons instantly pounced on Zhang Yuanqing like wild dogs unleashed, baring their fangs and claws, their saliva raining down.

"Crack crack crack."

The five demons that pounced over had their heads twisted one hundred and eighty degrees in unison. They lost their balance and collapsed to the ground.

A ghostly figure in a red wedding dress stood in front of Zhang Yuanqing, cradling a round, adorable, sculpted baby in her arms.

Crack crack crack crack…

The demons' heads twisted off.

Falling out were Yin Yao County Princess, Greedy Dream Divine General, Hundred-Man Slayer, and a Yin corpse that he obtained in the ghost city.

In addition to the level four Yin corpse and the extraordinary practitioners used as cannon fodder, Zhang Yuanqing had given the three S-level Yin corpses to Zhao Chenghuang.

In an instant, a dense Yin energy filled every corner of the room. The demon beast Haas's arrogant expression deflated, and his gaze stared blankly at the four high-level Yin corpses.

Yin Yao County Princess looked around and saw the scene in the room. Without hesitation, she reached out and patted the money bag behind her. Amidst the crackling of electricity, the Cat King speaker played: "Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!" Amidst the cries of "fuck," the demon beast Haas's rage and arrogance rapidly cooled. Without thinking, he reached for the wooden box on the bedside table. He wanted to undo the seal and escape the room.

The members of the Bio-Alchemy Society were all outside. They were all his helpers.

His hand grabbed empty air. He didn't touch the bedside table. He turned his head in shock and saw the wooden box floating a foot above the ground, rapidly drifting towards the opposite official.

"Fuck!"

The demon beast Haas cursed. Seeing the four Yin corpses pouncing on him, he hurriedly opened his inventory and grabbed a crystal bottle, gulping it down.

Yin Yao County Princess delivered a high kick, striking the demon beast Haas's wrist. The crystal bottle flew out, rolling rapidly and tinkling, until it reached a corner.

The demon beast Haas was furious. He stared at Yin Yao County Princess, his eyes turning gray-white.

Behind Yin Yao County Princess, the Greedy God General leaped out, raising his blade to strike. The demon beast Haas quickly retreated, raising his head, and a gray-white beam of light shot towards the Greedy God General.

Crack, crack.

The Greedy God General's face was struck by the beam, and his entire face instantly turned gray. But he was a Yin corpse. The petrification of his face did not affect his actions, nor did he need a brain or sight.

The long blade directly chopped down.

At this moment, a pair of sharp goat horns, burning with pale blue flames, sprouted from the demon beast Haas's head. Black-purple membranous wings grew from his back, and his body expanded, covered in deep purple arcane patterns.

A strong smell of sulfuric acid emanated from his mouth and nose.

His aura instantly surged, suppressing the three level six Yin corpses. The demon beast Haas condensed a ghostly blue flame blade in his right hand and slashed it towards the sky!

Bang!

The ghostly blue flame blade exploded, and specks of light fell on the curtains, the bed, and the floor, igniting poisonous flames.

The Greedy God General was also blasted away by this strike.

On the other side, Zhang Yuanqing plucked off the head of the last demon and snapped his fingers, creating an illusion.

In the demon beast Haas's vision, the Greedy God General, who had just been blasted away, bounced back up and swung his blade at him. He quickly prepared to respond and also swung his blade. But the collision he imagined did not occur. This strike seemed to have cut through air. The enemy's figure also disappeared like a bubble.

Seizing the opportunity, the Ghost Bride crashed into the demon beast Haas, completing possession.

Yin Yao County Princess crouched and circled behind him, latching onto the demon beast Haas's neck and pulling his head up. Her legs, clad in light-colored jeans, tightly wrapped around the enemy's waist. The princess's figure arched into a powerful bow.

The demon beast Haas struggled violently, beams of gray-white light shooting from his eyes and striking the ceiling.

Hundred-Man Slayer and the Greedy God General each grabbed the demon beast Haas's arms. The last Yin corpse grabbed the demon beast Haas's legs.

Three Yin corpses and one spirit servant, combining the strength of four level sixes, firmly controlled the aberrated Aberrant.

Zhang Yuanqing pulled out the Purple-Gold Pumpkin Hammer from his inventory, walked to the demon beast Haas, and raised his palm, covering his face.

His palm instantly turned pitch black, growing hair-like threads that wriggled and burrowed into the demon beast Haas's brow.

The demon beast Haas roared in agony.

Soon, a deep purple card, painted with blue flame patterns, was pulled from his forehead and instantly devoured by the pitch-black palm.

After devouring the demon beast Haas's character card, Zhang Yuanqing swung the Purple-Gold Hammer and forcefully hammered down.

Pfft!

The head with sharp goat horns exploded like a watermelon, brain matter and bone fragments flying everywhere.

All struggles disappeared at this moment.

The Ghost Bride floated out of the corpse, picked up the little brat holding her old father's calf, and returned to Zhang Yuanqing's body.

Yin Yao County Princess went into the bathroom to wash the blood and brain matter from her face and body. The other three Yin corpses stood silently by, waiting for their master's next command.

The character card did not enter the Lingjing Xingzhe; instead, it was absorbed by the Black Heart. Zhang Yuanqing sensed it and immediately understood why he could only inherit the Lingjing Xingzhe ID and could not open his inventory or use skills.

Because the character card did not belong to him; it was absorbed by the Black Heart.

Then, he picked up the crystal bottle and the black wooden box from the ground. The crystal bottle was the size of a palm, its surface uneven, like the surface of a diamond, refracting brilliant light under the lamp.

The wooden box was 20 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and 10 centimeters high. The surface of the box was deep and dark, as if it could devour light. Even under the light, it had no reflection.

Holding the two items, information appeared after a few seconds:

Name: Demon Potion

Type: Potion

Function: Transformation

[Introduction: This crystal bottle once held the blood of a powerful demon. After many years, the blood merged into the bottle, transforming it into a demonic item. Every 24 hours, the bottle will automatically generate a potion. The potion allows the user to gain demonic power for fifteen minutes.]

[Note: I would call it Pandora's Bottle.]

Name: Box of Darkness

Type: Wooden Box

Function: Sealing

[Introduction: The box contains the power of sealing, isolating sound, appearance, and aura. As time passes, the seal will become stronger.]

[Note: When you find your strength beginning to wane, remember to leave, or you will sleep here forever.]

"Not bad. Both are items of excellent quality."

"I made a profit!"

The crystal bottle was a Poison Master class item. Its function was to increase strength, temporarily enhancing combat power. After being transformed into a demon, it would possess abilities such as poisonous smoke, petrification, and hellfire.

The price was that with increased use, the body would gradually transform into a demon. Zhang Yuanqing had many such items. Little Red Riding Hood had the ability to transform into a werewolf, but Little Red Riding Hood should not belong to the Poison Master class but rather to the items of the unactivated Third District.

For Zhang Yuanqing, the wooden box's function was even more pleasing. He possessed too many combat-type items, but he was in dire need of items with powerful sealing abilities.

Moreover, the Eternal Night class's sealing skills were very easy to use, far better than the Wooden Imp's and Earth Monster's binding items. Especially when capturing live targets.

Satisfied, he put the two items into his inventory. He issued a guard command to the three Yin corpses, then his eye sockets turned pitch black, summoning the residual spirit of the demon beast Haas's corpse and beginning to devour it.

This was the core purpose of his hunting of the demon beast Haas—to find the spy within the Heavenly Punishment.
