Time passed slowly. Zhou Chen watched the bloody monster crawl past the closet and cabinet.

There were no other sounds apart from the sound of the bloody figure moving; the five people hiding in the room held their breaths and did not make a sound.

Then, at a certain moment, the strange moving sounds suddenly stopped and turned into an indescribably soft concentrated sound.

The sound only lasted for a very short moment before disappearing. The room became silent for a few minutes, until the short fatty said softly,

“That thing seems to have left…”

The others did not answer him. They remained silent. He waited for more than ten seconds, and after seemingly determining that there was no danger, he turned on the flashlight and crawled out from under the bed.

“Come out! It’s safe!” He said in a raised voice. He even shone the flashlight everywhere in the room.

However, the other four people did not answer him and remained silent.

Zhou Chen was observing the short fatty through the gap in the closet.

The short fatty was facing away from him. He looked similar to before and showed no abnormalities.

‘That bloody humanoid monster suddenly disappeared… Did it disguise as him?’

The reason why Zhou Chen and the others did not reply to the short fatty was that they were a little suspicious of the whereabouts of the thing that came in and were suspicious of the short fatty.

Soon, Zhou Chen realized that his suspicion was correct. He saw the short fatty suddenly turn around mechanically and look in the direction of the closet.

The short fatty’s appearance was very terrifying. His eyeballs were protruding out. There were also two long blood trails flowing down the corners of his eyes! He did not look like a living person at all!

“As expected, he has been killed by the monster.”

Zhou Chen immediately understood. The bloody monster had probably instantly killed the short fatty hiding under the bed, preventing him from screaming at all. Then, it controlled his body or changed into his appearance.

“Where are you guys? Why aren’t you out yet?”

The short fatty shone the flashlight at the surrounding walls. He did not see any other figures, nor did he receive any reply. His voice became deeper, as if he no longer wanted to pretend.

He then slowly walked towards the closet to search it.

“It comes to this after all, it’s time to attack.”

Zhou Chen was preparing to attack this guy with full force if he came any closer.

However, after the short fatty took a few steps closer to the closet, he suddenly stopped and left the room.

It left very decisively. As soon as it went out, it turned left and disappeared from Zhou Chen’s sight.

The room immediately regained its silence. After nearly a minute, a faint voice sounded.

“Let’s escape quickly…” Yi Fu looked at He Jin in the dark cabinet and said with a trembling voice.

However, He Jin did not answer her. Instead, he covered her mouth to prevent her from speaking.

“There’s no point in hiding.” Zhou Chen’s hearing was very good. He heard Yi Fu’s words and also noticed He Jin’s actions through his Bloodthirst perception.

He knew what He Jin was worried about, but he did not want to continue wasting time like this. He was going to take the initiative to attack.

With an ear-piercing creak, he pushed open the closet door and walked out. He quickly walked out of the dark room.

Once he came out of the room and arrived at the corridor outside, Zhou Chen saw a figure standing in the darkness a few meters away. It was the short fatty. He was staring at the door with his protruding eyes!

“Heh, I knew you were posturing.”

Zhou Chen was not surprised. He had already guessed the monster might be trying to lure them out. He directly used the Eight Desolates True Energy and punched this evil entity that was pretending to be the short fatty.

He used a lot of power in this punch. The Eight Desolates True Energy instantly shattered the short fatty, turning him into sticky blood that splattered everywhere!

“This monster seems to take physical damage?”

Zhou Chen was immediately happy to see that he had shattered the other party with a punch. His biggest headache was dealing with those evil spirits that were immune to physical damage. Now, he had shattered the other party with a punch. Although he did not kill it, it also meant that his attack was effective.

“Physical damage is not the best solution to deal with such a blood monster. I should burn it with fire.”

When he saw the evil entity that had been crushed into pools of sticky blood wriggle to merge again, Zhou Chen spat a ball of fire at it.

Generally speaking, blood-type monsters should be afraid of fire.

In the blink of an eye, the flames covered the ground and the body of the blood monster that had already mostly gathered began to burn. A rather large flame rose quickly!

“It’s effective!”

Zhou Chen knew that his guess was correct, so he increased the intensity of the flames to completely drown the burning blood lump.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly stopped breathing fire and punched the flames in front of him, shattering the burning humanoid figure!

“No, the flames don’t seem to have any substantial effect on it. Instead, it looks like it is being enchanted with a layer of fire.”

Zhou Chen stopped using fire because he sensed that his judgment was wrong. The evil entity was not injured from the fire. Instead, it turned into a humanoid fire and charged at him.

“These evil entities are really troublesome.”

Zhou Chen’s heart sank as he watched the sparks that scattered in the corridor quickly gather again, about to turn into a fire person. He felt that the monsters in this world seemed to have the characteristic of being very hard to kill.

“Everyone, run!”

While Zhou Chen was standing in the corridor facing the evil entity, He Jin’s voice came from inside the room behind him. The three of them had already left the cabinet and were rushing out the door with flashlights. They turned right and ran into the staircase.

They ignored Zhou Chen, who was fighting the evil entity, and instead ran away from him.

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but turn around and glance at their figures that quickly disappeared from his sight, wondering if they had misunderstood him.

“Forget it, I have to think of a way to kill this guy.”

Zhou Chen did not care much about their thoughts. He re-focused on the evil entity that had already taken form.

The flames on its body had basically been extinguished, revealing a charred and sticky bloody shape. It looked even more disgusting and terrifying than before.

“Holy Light!”

Before this monster attacked, Zhou Chen used his low bronze Holy Light technique.

Pure white light immediately filled the originally dark corridor. The evil entity let out a strange cry as it crawled backward.

“The Holy Light spell is effective, but not much.”

Zhou Chen could make out that his Holy Light spell had only frightened the monster away, and had dealt no damage to it.

“Should I try to combine all three attacks?”

Zhou Chen still did not have any good ideas, so he wanted to try this.

He immediately charged towards the evil entity that was fleeing into the depths of the corridor, preparing to put his thought into practice.

However, while he was chasing the monster, he passed the room that they had found earlier and saw the chair that was covered in blood from the corner of his eye.

This immediately gave him an idea. He could try to fight the evil entity with the bizarre item!

“That’s right! The overcoat man could hit the red-dressed female ghost that I could not even touch. This means that to deal with these evil entities, I have to rely on these bizarre items!”

Zhou Chen felt that he was onto something. He quickly turned around and charged into the room with the chair.

He quickly approached the chair that was covered in blood, but he did not immediately grab it. Instead, he circled behind it to observe.

Then, he realized that he seemed to have been deceived. How was this chair a bizarre item? It was clearly an evil entity!

A long-haired head slowly rose from behind the chair. The four legs of the chair propped up on the ground and turned into monstrous limbs, quickly changing its chair form to a humanoid monster!

This bloody chair was an evil entity in disguise!

Seeing this, Zhou Chen knew that he had gained another enemy. He punched the chair ghost out of the room with his true energy.

After the chair monster was smashed into the corridor wall, it immediately jumped out of the wall, indicating its powerful body.

“It can take a beating. One punch did not break it.”

Zhou Chen did not hesitate. He immediately charged out of the room and sent a flying kick to it. Under the explosive power of the Eight Desolates True Energy, this evil entity was kicked far away.

The entity flew past the corridor and slammed into the blood figure in the distance.

The blood humanoid monster’s entire body immediately shattered into several pieces.

Zhou Chen saw this scene and immediately had a bold thought, ‘Can I use evil entities as weapons to attack other evil entities?’

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, it kept on intensifying. He immediately charged forward and grabbed one of the legs of the chair monster that had yet to stand up, smashing it towards the blood monster like a sledgehammer.

To make sure that the attack was powerful enough, he used all his strength to grab the chair monster’s leg tightly and attacked again and again.

In just a short second, Zhou Chen unbelievably swung the chair monster and attacked the blood humanoid monster hundreds of times, quickly turning it into a lump of sticky liquid. Then, he continued to beat it until it splattered and turned into liquid.

[You have killed the Blood Specter. Reward: Blood of a Specter.]

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the Blood Specter’s passive skill, “Touch of Evil IV”. Do you want to absorb it?]

Zhou Chen, who had yet to stop swinging the chair, suddenly heard the system’s announcement which informed him that he had killed the bloody humanoid monster.

Zhou Chen had no time to check the details and immediately confirmed the absorption.

“Absorb!”

The chair in his hand was struggling fiercely. He needed new combat strength to quickly finish it off.

Therefore, as a wave of mysterious energy fused into his body, Zhou Chen grabbed the chair with one hand and punched it with the other.

After this blow, although the chair still barely maintained its intact body, it quickly stopped struggling.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen threw it to the ground and punched and kicked it. He increased the strength of his attacks and finally shattered it into pieces after spending some effort.

However, after this chair was beaten to death by him, he did not hear the system’s announcement, making him wonder if this thing was really dead or not.

He took a few steps back and opened the system interface to check what he had obtained.

[Blood of a Specter

Type: Low Silver item

This drop of a specter’s blood contains terrifying evil energy. It has two functions:

1: Consume it. The user has a 50% chance of obtaining the body of a specter and possessing a long lifespan. However, their thoughts will become crazy and chaotic, while their body will gain some weaknesses. There is also a 50% chance of becoming a true specter, which is equivalent to death.

2: Crafting bizarre items. Specter’s blood can be used to make bizarre items. The effects and downsides of the bizarre items are random.]

[Touch of Evil IV

Type: Low Silver passive skill

The target you come into contact with will continue to suffer low silver-ranked spiritual damage.]

“This specter’s blood is quite good. It can actually allow a person to obtain a long life. However, it depends on chance. Even if it succeeds, it comes with significant weaknesses. This Touch of Evil passive skill is even stronger. It can add high spiritual damage to ordinary attacks. I feel like with it, I can deal with that female ghost.”

Zhou Chen was rather satisfied with these two gains, especially this new passive skill, which increased his strength greatly.

At this moment, Zhou Chen realized that the chair’s body not far away from him had begun to rapidly recover from its broken state. Then, it bounced up and pounced at him.

“As expected, I didn’t kill it just now. Looks like I have to rely on evil entities to kill them. I can’t kill them myself.”

Zhou Chen already experienced one of the characteristics of this world’s evil entities, that was that he could only kill on these entities if he wanted to kill them.. Even if he was stronger, he could only give them some injuries at most.
