One pound of meat equals one attribute point

Su Li, Xiaoqing and the others flashed forward and soon arrived at the small courtyard where Su Heng lived.

"It doesn't look like a big deal."

Xiao Qing raised her head and looked around, then sniffed with her straight white nose and commented.

"It doesn't seem like much at first glance, but the reaction of the demon-seeking disk cannot be faked." Su Li took out the demon-seeking disk hanging from her waist. The crystal in the center was emitting a faint red light.

By this time the sun had set and the sky was dim.

The light emitted from the demon-hunting plate is particularly bright in such an environment.

"Su Hengdu has already left, but when approaching this house, the monster hunting plate still gives a danger warning." Xiao Qing frowned slightly, "It is really not easy. It's better to be careful."

"Um."

Su Li nodded, "Let's go inside and take a look."

Su Li took Xiao Qing forward. As soon as they took a step, they stepped on something and there was a crisp sound under their feet.

"ah!"

Su Li looked nervous and subconsciously held the hilt of the sword.

"Don't be surprised. It's just a piece of wood. It's no big deal." Xiao Qing pushed Su Li away.

Su Li lowered his head.

Sure enough, I saw a broken piece of wood at my feet.

only……

Su Li's brows that had just relaxed were frowned again.

Under Xiao Qing's puzzled gaze, Su Li bent down and picked up the wood he had stepped on again.

"These wood are carbonized." Xiao Qing was a little surprised and found something unusual.

"Is he barbecuing here? Life is really good." Xiao Qing said with emotion. Ever since she was reborn in this way, the food in the world no longer tastes good to her.

"Probably not..."

Su Li said, "I didn't see any stoves around, and the charcoal would definitely not be enough for barbecue."

Click!

She reached out and squeezed hard.

The lumps of charcoal turned into black dust and fell down one after another from Su Li's slender fingers.

"There is still residual warmth in these charcoal, which makes me feel like..."

"Like what?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.

"It's like using force to carbonize living wood from the inside out, so that after such a long time, a certain amount of force is still locked in the charcoal."

"hiss……"

Xiao Qing's eyes widened, "Such a level of cultivation is incredible. Can Elder Xu from the Demon Suppression Division do such a thing?"

"This should be possible." Su Li nodded slightly.

"However, Elder Xu practices the Demon-Suppressing Division's top-notch secret skill, Chidi Sun-seeking Kung Fu, and has been cultivating this technique for decades..." Su Li swallowed dryly, "Su Heng practices What is it? It’s a third-rate skill that was randomly picked up from a street martial arts school, and it’s still incomplete.”

"Although what you said is good, I always feel that you are praising your brother." Xiao Qing said crisply.

"No, absolutely not." Su Li denied repeatedly.

"Don't talk about this." She clapped her hands and looked up at the sky. The last ray of sunlight disappeared. But the weather today is pretty good, with stars dotting the sky and shining brightly, high in the dark and cold sky.

"Although we have plenty of time, we still try to act as quickly as possible." Su Li whispered, coming to the bedroom door.

Crunch!

The door was unlocked, and Su Li pushed it open easily.

With the help of the starlight outside the window, Su Li was able to see clearly the furnishings in the house.

There is a widened and thickened bed, a wooden table, as well as clothes hangers and wardrobes placed in the corner. The wooden table is next to the window, with a thick stack of books, various notes, etc. placed on it. When you get closer, you can smell a faint scent of ink.

Su Li came to the desk, took out a book from it and opened it.

"Transcription of Changqing County Chronicle·Part 1"

Su Li read a few pages and found that the records on them were all trivial things. She quickly lost interest and rearranged them according to her memory.

"How could he be interested in these things?" Su Li said to herself.

"Perhaps, it has something to do with the things that happened in Changqing County." Xiaoqing suddenly said, "I suddenly saw strange things that cannot be explained by common sense, and I want to find the answer through this method."

"What you mean is that I wrongly blamed him..." Su Li said with a frown.

"I didn't say that." Xiao Qing said.

"No matter what, since we are here, we have to investigate clearly before talking." Su Li gritted his teeth, feeling that his preconceived ideas were a bit unfair to his brother. But no matter what, if things have developed to this point, there is no reason to give up halfway.

"Where is the entrance to the basement?" Su Li asked again.

"Under the bed." Xiao Qing first closed her eyes, her body gradually turned translucent, then opened her eyes and replied firmly.

"Under the bed..."

Although the wooden bed was thickened, it was nothing to Su Li.

The wooden bed was easily moved away.

Below is a blocky bluestone floor. At first glance, it looks no different from the surrounding floors, but there is no dust on it. It is obviously cleaned frequently. This thing itself is not normal.

"Dong dong dong!"

Su Li tapped the floor lightly, judging that there was a hole underneath.

She took a deep breath and slowly moved the floor away. A wide black tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.

The simple stairs stretched into the darkness where one could not see anything.

There are oil lamps mounted on the walls on both sides of the stairs.

To be on the safe side, Su Li did not light the oil lamp, but took out a bamboo tube as thick as a finger from her arms.

The bamboo tube exudes a faint scent of oil, and there is a white wick at the end.

The wick is lit.

The bright white flame dispels the darkness.

This is a bamboo lamp made of whale oil. It is not only bright, but also odorless. It is most suitable for special situations when performing tasks outside.

Holding his breath subconsciously, Su Li slowly entered the basement.

The basement is very deep, about five meters.

Su Li walked for a while before slowly coming to the bottom. In front of him was a simple arch reinforced with wood, and the door was also not locked.

Click!

Su Li stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door.

A strong smell of blood came immediately. Su Li coughed twice and retched a little.

Even Xiaoqing, who is a Yin object, seemed a little uncomfortable in such an environment. His feet slowly left the ground and the whole person was suspended in the air.

"This..."

Su Li placed the whale oil lamp on a bulge on the wall.

The sight in front of her made her pupils shrink suddenly. She looked up and saw a fierce cheetah with pure white hair.

She took a step back and took a defensive posture.

Then she found that the cheetah was just a skin bag, which was stretched and hung in the air, and made into some kind of decoration.

Su Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning her head, she saw a shriveled green head on the wall behind her looking at her.

Under the dark eye sockets, there were two lines of black blood and tears.

"Hiss..."

Su Li recognized the origin of the head, "Isn't this the water ghost, the original origin of our trip."

"Yeah."

Xiao Qing nodded aside, confirming Su Li's thoughts.

"It died miserably." At the end, Xiao Qing stuck out her tongue and added.

"It was indeed miserable." With the help of the light of the whale oil lamp, Su Li saw the broken bones placed on the wooden table and some shriveled internal organs hanging on the iron hook. It is not difficult to imagine that the water ghost was killed first. Then the body was brought here and dismembered and chopped up bit by bit.

Su Li shuddered. She saw several large wooden barrels in the corner, which were emitting a strong smell of blood.

She took a step back and planned to go and see what it was.

Bang!

It seemed to hit something.

"Xiao Qing, stop making trouble..." Su Li reached out and scratched his head, thinking that Xiao Qing was standing behind him just now.

This guy...

He was silent when floating in the air, and always appeared suddenly, scaring himself.

But thinking about it, Su Li realized that something was wrong.

Because in the corner of her eyes, she had seen Xiao Qing's slender body.

At this time, she was sticking to the wall, trembling uncontrollably. She was pale and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to remind something, but she couldn't make a sound. It was a crushing at the level of life, and the extreme fear made her unable to say anything.

"Xiao Qing, you are here... Then the one behind me is..."

Gulp! ~

Su Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva dryly.

Slowly and stiffly, he turned around and saw a broad chest. When he raised his head and then looked up, he saw Su Heng's expressionless face shrouded in shadow.
