The Black Book

"Arrogant descenders, since you don't know how to respect life, I have to teach you some life philosophy..."

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!"

[Black Book]: Dao Heart +10

The last bit of depression in his heart dissipated, and Zhu Haomiao raised a relieved smile and shook his head.

"Uncle, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Ah? Oh."

Not understanding why the boy suddenly cheered up from his low mood, Yin Tianze nodded blankly and watched his slowly receding back disappear at the corner of the street.

After a while, Zhu Haomiao came to a ruin that was burned to scorched earth and frowned in distress.

A few hours ago, this should have been an inn.

Behind the boy, Yan Yunsheng was holding a long knife and holding a sturdy blue-backed wolfhound in his hand, hesitating.

"Sir, forget it, it's all burnt..."

"Alas, do your best and leave it to fate."

Seeing that the boy was still unwilling to give up, Yan Yunsheng untied the cloth strips that wrapped the long knife and handed the handle to the nose of the spirit dog.

Sniffing the remaining smell on the handle carefully, the blue-backed wolfhound raised its head in confusion, turned around, and returned to Yan Yunsheng's feet.

"Woo~"

Seeing this, Yan Yunsheng sighed calmly.

"Sir, there is indeed no trace."

Zhu Haomiao was not too disappointed and nodded calmly because he was in the mood to give it a try.

"Got it, let's go back."

But just after taking two steps, a snow-white little head emerged from the skin, rushed to the boy's shoulder, and hummed and acted coquettishly in his ear.

"Woo~"

"Hungry again? Didn't you just eat..."

Laughing and tapping Diao Chan's nose, Zhu Haomiao suddenly felt something in his heart, thinking of the little guy's unusual sense of smell.

"Yunsheng, bring the knife!"

"Yes!"

Lifting the long knife to Diao Chan's nose, Zhu Haomiao scratched her chin.

"If you find something with this scent, I will make you a special meal!"

"Ji?!"

Hearing this, Diao Chan's eyes lit up, and she lay on the handle of the knife and sniffed fiercely, then jumped to Zhu Haomiao's head and stood up, looking around.

The little nostrils opened and closed slightly, and after sniffing around, Diao Chan suddenly stopped, grabbed the boy's hair with her little claws and pulled it lightly.

"Ji!"

Zhu Haomiao understood, with a look of surprise on his face, and ran all the way following Diao Chan's guidance.

After crossing two streets, a dilapidated and desolate courtyard came into view. Zhu Haomiao crossed the wall without hesitation and landed lightly in the weed-covered courtyard.

Diao Chan jumped down from the boy's head, ran to the well covered with stone slabs, and used his little claws to dig hard on the stone slabs.

"Ji!"

Lifting the stone slab, Zhu Haomiao looked down and saw the clear well water without any suspicious traces.

But Diao Chan drilled down along the well wall, stopped not far from the well water, and frantically scratched the brick wall.

Bang~

A brick was knocked out and fell to the bottom of the well. Diao Chan drilled into the gap and returned to Zhu Haomiao with a palm-sized brocade bag in his mouth.

"Ji~"

Giving the brocade bag to the boy like a treasure, Diao Chan raised his head and his fluffy tail swayed wildly.

Touch me!

Touch me!

"Awesome! I'll make you something delicious when I get back!"

Unable to help but hug Diao Chan and kiss him, Zhu Haomiao opened the brocade bag and took out a turbid and dark dark red crystal.

"Hehe, Xu Xu knocks on you~"

Puffing up his chest proudly, Diao Chan twisted his little butt happily, and suddenly saw a green light leaping by the side, and instantly turned into a white lightning and chased after him.

On the other side, looking at the dark red crystal in his hand, Zhu Haomiao looked left and right but didn't find anything magical. It felt like an ordinary rough stone.

Even if it is polished into a valuable gem, it is not worth so many masters' persistent pursuit, right?

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao frowned suspiciously, and suddenly heard a chewing sound in his ear.

Turning his head, Diao Chan had a strange insect with only half of it in his claws, eating it with juice flowing.

Meeting the boy's eyes, Diao Chan hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly put the half of the insect to his mouth.

"Tree tree, good, love, water!"

"…………"

Looking at the insect with four legs twitching and kicking, Zhu Haomiao could only show a polite but awkward smile.

"I can't eat it, I can't eat it..."

"Can't eat it?"

Diao Chan tilted his head cutely, blinked his big eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took out a thumb-thick green pig worm covered with saliva from his cheek.

"Baji~Baji~Good, love, watery!"

"…………"

I don't like to eat the bursting ones!

After a long silence, Zhu Haomiao laughed dryly and rubbed Diao Chan's head.

"This is really not necessary, you can eat it yourself."

After saying that, fearing that Diao Chan would continue to show filial piety, Zhu Haomiao stuffed it into his leather bag and turned away.

As soon as he went out, he saw Yan Yunsheng chasing him from behind.

"Check who the owner of this empty house is and whether he has any connection with Huo Hong."

"Yes."

"By the way, where are the two guys we caught today being held?"

"According to your instructions, a prison in the market was vacated to hold them, in [Xingguangfang]."

"Yes."

Nodding, Zhu Haomiao went straight to the prison in Xingguangfang, and saw Dai Jinhong, who was fully armed and ready to face a formidable enemy, in the underground cell.

"Sir!"

Seeing Li Lin coming, Dai Jinhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

He had heard about the destructive power of these two guys, and they were at least fourth-grade masters.

Even if they were seriously injured and fell into a coma, Dai Jinhong did not dare to be careless.

"Thank you for your hard work."

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao nodded gently, his eyes skipped over Dai Jinhong and looked at the two adventers who were still in a coma.

It must be said that the vitality of the gold-level extraordinary people is very tenacious. Even without any treatment measures, their injuries have stopped worsening and are gradually moving in a good direction.

Realizing that they seemed to be about to wake up, Zhu Haomiao pondered for a few seconds and ordered Dai Jinhong.

"Go find some silver needles."

"Yes!"

Soon, a pair of silver needles were sent to the dungeon. Zhu Haomiao took out the longest one and slowly poured in the true energy.

After today's experiment, he found that the basic strength combined with the original sin authority seemed to produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

However, there are also problems with the compatibility between the two. Some of them work wonders when paired together, but some are incompatible.

For example, [Sloth] and [Demon Sealing Power] seem to complement each other...

Twisting the silver needle lightly, gray-white threads invisible to others spread from the void and wriggle lightly around the needle tip.

Walking in front of Kitano Yoshihiko, Zhu Haomiao inserted the silver needle into the Baihui acupoint, piercing the skull, almost without the handle, and penetrating deep into the brain.

[Demon Sealing Power·Soul Devouring] + [Sloth]!
