In front of Tang Qi, two black shadows rushed fiercely towards him, and they were both beautiful on the outside, but what Tang Qi noticed was the bad stink, with the smell of rotting corpse rotten mixed with the smell of blood. It was so unpleasant and nauseating that it made one feel an instinctive disgust.

Two pairs of sharp claws went towards Tang Qi’s head and chest. Benefiting from his strong eyesight, Tang Qi could still see the red and black nail polish at this time.

Their fingernails were uneven and cheap-looking, and most of them had worn off.

“Very bad taste, just as described in the book.”

Bang!

Hiss…

As they shouted, Tang Qi didn’t make any big movements but just slightly backed away half a step, dodging the attack from the two Scavenger Nightingales.

His fair palm slowly clenched into a fist. While the Nightingales were screaming, Tang Qi’s fist fell on the face of one of them, and the other suffered the full power of Tang Qi’s whip-like leg sweep.

Crack!

Boom!

They came fast and flew back fast as well.

If they had enough wisdom, with this one move, they should have been able to identify that Tang Qi was no ordinary youth. At least in close-up fights, the two of them could take no advantage of him.

Yet they didn’t escape, but screamed towards Tang Qi even more angrily, and then rushed towards him once more with the instinct of beasts.

Tang Qi shook his head and stepped into the depth of the alley. A few steps forward, and he’d be able to step on the corpse of the unfortunate middle-aged office worker. His slender palms reached out, and grabbed the head of the first Scavenger Nightingale to arrive, and slammed her head into the wall beside him.

Then his one foot kicked out. After the sound of wind burst out, a violent force directly struck the chin of the second Scavenger Nightingale.

With a crisp cracking sound, half of the nightingale’s head, along with her chin, was caved in by Tang Qi’s kick.

Three seconds?

No, not even three seconds.

A battle that was supposed to be arduous was declared over. The power of both sides was not at all equal.

Tang Qi properly set his eyes on the two dying Scavenger Nightingales. The special interface came out again.

[Supernatural Creature: Scavenger Nightingale]

[Status: Near Death.]

[Information Fragment 1: Scavenger ghosts had once flourished. After they were annihilated, they left behind viruses with highly infectious abilities around the world. They may not have been able to bring their species back to life, but they were able to create some disgusting creatures with little effort.]

[Information Fragment 2: The Scavenger Nightingale was one of them.]

As always, Tang Qi saw the information fragments.

But this time, the information provided by his special ability wasn’t actually more than those he read from the books.

Tang Qi recalled one of the chapters from the book Hundred Years of Monstrousness: The Bizarre and the Real, which had quite a long passage describing the so-called Scavenger Nightingale.

Of course, he ignored those stories with unknown credibility.

To sum it up simply, this was the supernatural creature that emerged after a prostitute was infected with the body-eater virus.

Before she was infected, she was probably just another prostitute.

But once she entered the scavenger ghost-like state, she would become a human-eating monster, and her physical abilities would also be greatly enhanced. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to eat her patrons, right?

But unfortunately, despite the enhancement, they still were no match for Tang Qi.

After he was introduced to the Chaga Fighting Technique, his bodily attributes improved every single day. Tang Qi carried the lethality of a top-level fighter every time he fought.

And these were just human-eating beasts driven by instincts.

After Tang Qi sobered up, he looked at the corpse of the office worker on the floor and the two Scavenger Nightingales who were still struggling but slowly recovering. His hands clenched into fists, and a warm force slowly moved into his palms. And then, with two bangs, all his energy was released.

On the wall and on the ground, two cracking sounds came at the same time.

If the skull was broken into pieces, even a scavenger ghost couldn’t live.

Once they died, two grievous souls floated out, but before they could make a move to fly away, a pair of palms shining with golden flames caught them.

Phew~

A clear wind blew past, and calm was restored in the alley.

In the gray misty space in Tang Qi’s mind, two more strands of golden light spots emerged.

He looked at himself again, and the interface jumped out.

The “skills” column did indeed change. The progress of the meditation method and Furnace’s Eyes were each increased by 0.02%, and the Chaga Fighting Technique increased by 0.01%.

“It seems that after devouring the grievous souls of supernatural creatures, the biggest increase is for the Meditation Method and its derived skills. This time, the killing was all done through close-up fights, but the increase was the smallest. But in comparison, this is a path much faster than ascetic cultivation.”

“Maybe I can explore it a bit more. It doesn’t seem that hard.

“Use bait? No, let’s call it an incentive.

“But I can’t be completely sure yet. I will verify it tomorrow, perhaps.”

Tang Qi muttered while turning around to take the cloth bag full of books and walked toward his home.

Behind him, three corpses gradually stiffened.

Although this should have been shocking, the Bronx area was indeed this chaotic.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a thing as a “corpse collection cart”, or even a job like a corpse collector.

And following the intensification of that great change, Tang Qi could almost predict that an area like the Bronx might really become a terrible place that people outside wouldn’t dare to come to.

Before that, Tang Qi intended to do his best to enhance his strength.

Especially after discovering the “shortcut”, Tang Qi planned to change his strategy.

Turning back to the little brick house, Tang Qi found that the area on the first floor had been repaired perfectly, and there was no trace of destruction at all.

Needless to say, such efficiency by the police must have been due to the personal intervention of Sergeant Stana.

After sighing that knowing someone among the officials did make a difference, Tang Qi prepared a proper dinner for himself.

Powerful ingredients, coupled with the culinary skills Tang Qi brought from Earth, the resulting delicacy would always impress Tang Qi greatly.

After being satiated, he made a pot of volcanic rock coffee and put the big books borrowed from Moses Library onto his desk one by one. Finally, Tang Qi came to the workplace.

Before his nightly cultivation, Tang Qi had one more job to finish.

He should have tried it last night, but it was put off because of his breakthrough in the Meditation Method.

Now, he finally started trying again.

To make bullets!

After obtaining the furnace bullets, Tang Qi understood that to produce supernatural bullets that met the requirements, at least one principle needed to be maintained.

The material had to be at a supernatural level.

Moreover, its supernatural quality must be certified by his special ability “Omniscience”.

The holy water, rouge flower seeds, and the like he bought the other day were all completely useless.

If there was no battle with the Dugong sea monster to provide materials for Tang Qi to prepare bullets for the most powerful weapon he had right now, Blood Python No.1, he could only use his own supernatural blood.

To prevent anemia, Tang Qi planned to make another kind of supernatural bullet.

The only possible material was taken out by Tang Qi and placed on the working table.

The little cloth bag was opened. Inside, diamond-like objects were shining with azure blue light.

Having had the previous experience of making furnace bullets, Tang Qi moved quickly and smoothly.

First, he lit an alcohol burner. When the flame burst out, he put a crucible up. When the bottom of the crucible was slightly red, Tang Qi quickly picked up the tweezers with his other hand and dived into the cloth bag; he then came out holding a shiny piece of blue sea salt.

With a tink, the sea salt fell into the crucible.

Once this dazzling crystal touched the red area of the crucible, a slight salty blue smoke drifted out.

In the smoke, Tang Qi seemed to have vaguely heard the sound of ocean waves raging, seen a magnificent scene at the bottom of the ocean, and heard the singing of a holy song.

Unfortunately, the strange sight quickly disappeared as the smoke spread.

When Tang Qi looked again, there was only the blue liquid bubbling and boiling up. Liquid that looked like seawater at first occupied half of the crucible in an instant, but as the temperature rose, this amount was rapidly reducing.

But Tang Qi couldn’t move the alcohol burner away yet. The information fragments Tang Qi read in the special interface in his eyes told him that once he moved the flames away, the liquid inside would solidify instantly and turn back into solid-state sea salt.

At this moment, Tang Qi once again moved at an incredible speed.

His one hand took the glass rod to quickly stir the blue liquid. His other hand held a tweezer and quickly clamped a brass bullet and placed it into the crucible.

The vortex created by Tang Qi seemed to contain some kind of strange magic. When the bullet was put in, a blue light was mixed into the vortex following the bullet.

Clang!

He rapidly put it in then instantly took it out. Tang Qi didn’t even have the time to look at the bullet which had already undergone strange changes. He went straight to the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth… Tang Qi’s one hand stirred at an even speed, while the other hand was already in a blur.

In order not to waste any bit of the magic of the sea monster, Tang Qi even used his Chaga Fighting Technique.

Inside the crucible, clear blue liquid disappeared quickly. Meanwhile, more and more bullets appeared in the wooden box on his working desk.

Each one was not quite the same as an ordinary bullet.
