Dark Blood Age

Chapter 57

When a red-eyed monster spread out its body, it could reach two meters long. Its body looked like a grey canvas, and there were dark red tendons, and thin bones spreading all over its body. It had an eyeball on its top, and the size of it was as big as a computer mouse. When it died, the eyeball would turn into beige color. Below the eyeball, at the center of its body, there were many small sharp teeth. They were in a circular shape like a flower core, taking up half of its entire body.

Chu Yunsheng turned the monster upside down, he had even stepped on it very hard a few times, but he still couldn’t get the gas he wanted.

‘Is it because the monster was dead, does it mean that the gas will disappear after it died?’ he thought for a second, and then took out an absorption talisman, trying to absorb Yuan Qi from the monster.

As the talisman slowly sucked the energy out of the monster, a blurry ice pattern appeared on top of the talisman. It seemed like it only had one-fifth of a complete pattern.

Based on one red-shelled insect could supply one flame pattern of Yuan Qi, it obviously meant that a red-eyed monster’s Yuan Qi was less than a red-shelled insect.

Chu Yunsheng guessed that this might also be one of the reasons why red-eyed monsters’ defense ability was much weaker than that of red-shelled insects. Although generally, ice elemental energy was stronger than fire elemental energy in defence, if the gap between two types of energy was huge, the result would still be different. Besides, red-eyed monsters didn’t have hard shells to protect them.

But he still did not find that strange gas he was looking for. The absorption talisman only absorbed pure ice elemental Yuan Qi from the monster, it did not seem to respond to any other things.

But after taking back the absorption talisman, he suddenly had an idea. He deactivated the combat armor talisman and unsealed the combat armor talisman from his body. He wanted to check if he could use the red-eyed monster’s body to upgrade the armor.

However, the armor did not have any reaction to it. It did not seem to have any interests in this monster, which now looked like a piece of old and ripped clothes. Instead, Qian Bi sword started to spin in mid-air. Slowly, a trace of blue gas appeared from the monster’s body. It was the gas that Chu Yunsheng was looking for.

However, that dead red-eyed monster did not have much blue gas left. So he immediately took out all the bodies he had, and let Qian Bi sword absorb the gas from all the monsters. However, he was quite disappointed that in the end, he still did not get much gas out of those bodies.

Inside the crimson-colored Qian Bi sword, Chu Yunsheng could vaguely feel that there were blue ripples slowly appearing. However, there were not many. If he didn’t pay attention to the change of the sword, he would’ve easily missed it.

There were some red-shelled insects’ shells inside the storage talisman as well, so Chu Yunsheng took them out and tried to test the sword on them.

However, the blue gas did not make the sword sharper. It made him wonder if it had something to do with the energy shield rather than the physical object.

However, there weren’t any live red-shelled insects that he could use to do the test.

Then he looked at Yao Xiang, who was still sleeping on the side. But eventually, he gave up the idea to test the energy shield that he had cast onto Yao Xiang before. He was afraid that if he was not careful enough, he would injure Yao Xiang.

Moreover, Qian Bi sword also did not absorb much blue gas, so the test result wouldn’t be very obvious, even if he did test it. In the end, he decided to wait until he had enough red-eyed monsters’ bodies.

But when he thought about hundreds of red-eyed monsters, he couldn’t help but flinch.

Suddenly, he heard a group of hurried footsteps coming from the doorway. He was startled and immediately stored everything back to the storage talisman.

Before he even had time to activate his combat armor, a group of men and women flocked inside. But when they saw Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang, they all stopped!

Yao Xiang was woken from his sleep by the noise. He quickly got up and made a combat posture in a panic.

There were nine people in total, five males, three females, and one kid, who looked around ten years old. Four people were holding long iron bars, the other four were holding two chunks of red-shelled insects’ shells together as their shields, one chunk for every two people, and the kid was carrying the half of a dog’s body.

This group of people looked like local people. One person in particular was wearing a uniform, and on his uniform, it was written ‘Urban Management Officer’.

Noticing this, Chu Yunsheng gave them a friendly smile. They needed some information about this city from local people, and this group had just arrived at the right time.

However, those people were extremely wary of him and Yao Xiang, and it seemed like they did not want to talk to them at all. They even raised the shells when they saw them, but they also did not seem to want to leave as well.

Pointing to himself and then Yao Xiang, Chu Yunsheng gave them a hollow laugh, “we are just passing by, we were having a rest here earlier, this is my friend.”

Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang did not have any weapons with them at the moment, at least, this group of people could not see it. Moreover, they both did not look like bad guys, and Chu Yunsheng also explained why they were here, so they all sighed with relief, but they still did not put down their weapons.

One of the women popped out her head and said coldly, “since you are just passing by, you stay on the left side, we stay on the right side, everyone minds their own business.”

There was a round stage in the middle of the cafe, with a piano on it. It just happened to divide the cafe into the left side and the right side.

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head, but when he wanted to carry on talking, the group had already moved to the right side.

Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang couldn’t help but look at each other and give each other a wry smile.

People’s feelings were extremely fragile and sensitive now, it was very normal that people would keep their distance from strangers.

Moreover, they clearly had a dog’s body. That was also one of the reasons they wanted to keep themselves away from Chu Yunsheng.

But Chu Yunsheng did not want to give up, they urgently needed some information. Later on, they still had to carry on following Commander Du.

Turning around, Chu Yunsheng suddenly noticed the half bag of cookies and the two pieces of Sachima that he and Yao Xiang hadn’t finished. Then he had an idea. He wanted to use food to exchange for some information. This probably was probably the best way to do it.

However, when he just stepped on the round stage, the cafe’s entrance door was suddenly kicked open.

What broke into the café was a man with long disheveled hair, surrounded by fierce ice elemental energy. He was brandishing a red-shelled insect’s leg while rushing into the cafe. There were two women closely following him behind.

“Crack.. Crack...” the windows of the café were suddenly shattered, then several grey shadows broke into the café, each one of them had a bloody red eye.

Chu Yunsheng was startled. He immediately stepped back, and stood next to Yao Xiang. At the same time, he quickly activated the armor and drew the sword as fast as he could!

The nine people, who had come in the café earlier, immediately held up the shells, and raised the metal bars. They also backed off several steps. From their simultaneous movements, it seemed like they had experiences dealing with those monsters.

Red-eyed monsters did not fly towards the man with long disheveled hair immediately. Instead, they were dashing around madly inside the café. One of the women was an older woman. She was scared running towards the door in panic.

One of those red-eyed monsters immediately noticed the opportunity. It dashed toward the older women, wrapped her around and lifted her to the left side.

The man was terrified. He immediately dragged the younger woman and ran towards the older woman. At the same time, he shouted loudly, “MOM!”

At that moment, a few other monsters also began to dive. They were all heading towards the younger woman.

The younger woman only had a chance to shout, “Ah Yu! Lao Gong(husband)!” then she was lifted up and dragged away from her husband by one of the monsters.

The man was completely stunned!

In Buddhism, there was a very interesting saying. It stated that each choice a person made would lead the person to a different world. This was also a very popular topic in the age of light.

Chu Yunsheng had seen a lot of bloody fights between monsters and humans, but even with that kind of experience, he was still shocked to see such a cruel scene!

The red-eyed monster’s gas would kill a person less than a minute. That man had to make a painful decision quickly:

To save his mother or to save his wife!
