Chapter 2128: Sewer Monster and Vengeful Spirit Black Cat

Xia De summoned the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 and followed Mr. Bernhardt forward. Since the temperature here was still frighteningly cold, the vengeful spirit shouldn't have gone far. So Xia De originally thought they would find the other party soon, but didn't expect to circle around the sewer for a long time, and finally returned to the secret passage connecting the riverside and the bathhouse.

The suspicious two, although suspecting this was a trap, still continued to follow the smell of the vengeful spirit and turned into another branch they hadn't had time to investigate. After moving forward for more than ten minutes, Mr. Bernhardt stood in front of a wall in the middle of the pipe:

"If I didn't smell it wrong..."

He spoke with an uncertain tone himself, after all, the vengeful spirit seemed to be leading them in circles:

"The other party entered behind this wall."

He ignored the dirty appearance of the wall and put his hand on it, then turned to Xia De and said:

"It's empty behind."

"Enhanced Spatial Perception" also indicated that it was empty behind. In fact, Xia De noticed it in the morning, but the map and reality were quite different, so before seeing it here, he couldn't be sure if this was an unmarked branch or something else.

"There should be a secret door."

Mr. Bernhardt said again, stepped back to let Xia De come forward, and then watched Xia De turn sideways and slam forward fiercely. With a deafening sound, he smashed the wall directly. As the bricks and stones fell, Mr. Bernhardt also saw the long strips of stones, broken wooden sticks, and bent metal rods that sealed the road behind the wall.

And Xia De just shook his arm:

"A secret door sealed from the inside by humans, it seems we finally found it."

Not far inside the secret door lay a suicide corpse. After trying to communicate with the spirit to no avail, one could also judge from the traces on the corpse's hands that it was he who sealed this passage from the inside. Walking inward along the passage, the residual bloodstains became clearer and clearer. At the same time, Xia De also recognized that the passage scene here began to overlap with the passage scene in Hermann Wood's memory:

"Be careful, this time we really found the right place. But what's going on with that vengeful spirit? Did it deliberately lead us here?"

"Even if it's luring us into a trap, it should wait until we find this place before appearing, right? Actively letting us discover the passage that was painstakingly hidden, is this something a normal person can do?"

Mr. Bernhardt was equally puzzled, and he was also prepared for battle at this time. He didn't take out the black and white pistols he usually used, but while his face lost water and shriveled and a large number of wrinkles appeared, his hands gradually grew larger and became the appearance of claws.

This was the true form of the blood-sucking species. The originally handsome middle-aged noble appearance was just a disguise formed by controlling blood. Although Xia De had known Mr. Bernhardt for a long time, this was also the first time he had seen him like this. And seeing Xia De looking at him curiously, the blood-sucking species viscount explained:

"The church will eventually investigate here. I am now using the power of the blood-sucking species to fight the potential danger in front, so the church will know that blood-sucking species are also investigating the murderer. Don't look at me rarely using this posture to fight, in fact, I am stronger this way. I didn't use it before, either the opponent wasn't strong enough, or it was too strong."

The vengeful spirit was still attracting the two forward in front, and the place connected to the passage that looked like a prison cell soon came into view. The summoned light orbs flew in all directions to illuminate. At this time, all the metal fence doors were wide open, as if there were no living creatures here.

"Search separately."

Mr. Bernhardt said, turned around, bent over and entered the prison cell on the left hand side, while Xia De continued to walk forward, cautiously looking left and right.

The silver light orb followed him, only in the darkness not illuminated by the light orb, something was squirming abnormally.

When Xia De was attracted by the stones under his feet and lowered his head to check, the thing crawling on the wall instantly pounced on him.

But this strike missed completely. Before the thing could adjust its posture after landing, Xia De, who used "Lagley's Jump" to dodge, slashed a moonlight from behind it fiercely.

The moonlight passed through the monster's body in the darkness. It let out a strange cry and its body split into four or five pieces. Countless small bats flew in all directions, and then gathered again into the appearance of the monster itself.

Xia De was very familiar with such means of using transformation to dodge attacks, so at the same time the bat swarm appeared, his left-hand lightning spear had already been thrown out.

The gathered bat swarm just recovered into a monster, and it took a lightning spear from Xia De head-on. It emitted blood mist all over its body, turned into a blood shadow and rushed toward Xia De, and collided with Xia De head-on. The collision of pure power and physical strength finally let Xia De see clearly that the monster was a giant bat with dragon horns but no wings.

The blood mist corroded the clothes on his body, but this collision was still Xia De's power that had the upper hand:

"Ha!"

After the monster was bounced away by the reaction force, it immediately turned into a mass of blood mist and fled toward the distance, but Mr. Bernhardt, whose two giant claws were naturally hanging down, was already waiting there.

The blood-sucking species viscount also emitted blood mist all over his body, rushing toward the monster entangled in blood mist head-on. The collision of the two people's claws made a metallic clanging sound, then the two masses of blood mist exploded on the spot, and gathered again at the same time five meters away. The two people who appeared from the blood mist waved their sharp claws and collided again.

The flashing blood mist chased and collided at a very high speed. Xia De stood on the spot without moving, frowning and watching Mr. Bernhardt's battle with his opponent. Finally, in the two masses of gathered blood mist, the monster and Mr. Bernhardt fought again, ending with the blood-sucking species viscount's right claw pressing the monster's two claws to the ground, and then his left hand cleanly cut off the monster's head as the ending.

But the fallen corpse trembled immediately, and then the monster's every pore began to ooze blood mist outward. The corpse expanded, and the blood mist flashed with extremely dangerous red light, but before the corpse exploded, it was pierced through the chest by Mr. Bernhardt's right claw, and the heart attached with scales was dug out.

The corpse explosion stopped, but the head that had rolled into the shadows suddenly flew up, with a hateful expression on its face, wanting to bite Mr. Bernhardt's neck again, but was slashed into two halves by Xia De's sword.

"Bastard!"

The usually civilized blood-sucking species viscount cursed:

"This is a monster cultivated using humans as the mother body, mixed with the blood of the blood-sucking species and dragon blood. If a blood-sucking species ring warlock like me wasn't present, this thing's self-detonation couldn't be dealt with at all. This is the 'gift' that group of people left for the church."

He looked very angry, but Xia De could also understand. Blood-sucking species are very proud of their pure bloodline, and therefore despise any blood-sucking species other than themselves. The "God of Blood-Sucking Species" who has a lot of connection with Xia De shelters all blood-sucking species including humanoid blood-sucking species, while people like Mr. Bernhardt and Mr. Ptolemy Albert usually think that they are the holders of the most noble bloodline among the entire blood-sucking species group.

Of course, judging from the overall strength and intelligence level of the blood-sucking species, such a view is also no problem. Therefore, using the blood of the blood-sucking species to do experiments and also creating such hybrid monsters would of course make Mr. Bernhardt so angry.

"Although this corpse is not enough to prove that the female corpse has nothing to do with you, at least it tells the church that this matter is related to the 【Dragon Feast Cult】."

Xia De comforted from the side, Mr. Bernhardt nodded, and looked at the corpse with contempt again:

"Leave this thing here. Although the church was distracted by the investigation of the dock matter, it should be able to find it within a day or two."

Xia De went to look at the surrounding environment again:

"I don't think ordinary means can find clues. Let's use our respective special means to see here. Of course, there is one more thing to solve before that."

He and Mr. Bernhardt turned around at the same time, and the red and silver light orbs illuminated the thing that was standing behind them just now.

It was not a monster, but a small black cat, crouching on the ground and looking up at them. The seemingly normal cat was actually semi-transparent, and a cold feeling kept seeping out from its body and affecting the surroundings. It was precisely the soul of this cat that led the two here just now.

"A vengeful spirit that has almost become a physical entity..."

Mr. Bernhardt sighed softly, raised his double claws to prepare for battle again, but was stopped by Xia De.

He suspiciously examined the cat soul in front of him. Although the other party was a powerful vengeful spirit, almost comparable to those he first encountered in Mid-Fort, he didn't feel any resentment from the other party.

The cat continued to look up at them at this time, without any intention of running away at all, and its transparent tail behind it was still wagging. Facing Xia De's inquisitive gaze, the cat even "Meow~"ed gently. This time, even Mr. Bernhardt, who was vigilant, relaxed. The flesh and blood on his face filled up, turning back into the appearance of a handsome middle-aged man, and the double claws also turned back into hands:

"What is it saying?"

He asked Xia De, and Xia De asked back in surprise:

"How could you think I understand cat language?"

"Because you look like the kind of person who understands cats very well."

"Is that so?"

But Xia De really didn't understand cat language. Confirming that the cat had no intention of attacking them, he tried to crouch down and clap his hands at the cat, so the cat walked over obediently. The ice-cold soul rubbed against Xia De's hand, and was picked up by him.

Mr. Bernhardt on the side had an expression of "I knew it was like this." Xia De took out the "Fish Training Ring" from his pocket again, and then realized that the cat's soul was also a cat, and couldn't use the ring in his hand to speak human language.

"Hello everyone."

So the black cat licking its fur in Xia De's arms... the fur on its soul spoke, and then regardless of the surprise of Xia De and Mr. Bernhardt at its taking the initiative to speak:

"Aren't you looking for this place? I helped you find it, and you have to help me next. Aren't humans all like this?" ===== CHAPTER 2129 =====
