[Potential +1]

Wang Chen ignored the information prompts flashing in the field of vision and called out the panel.

[Name: Wang Chen (Ling Zhiyuan)]

[Age: 16]

[Cultivation: Military General]

[Exercise method: Mysterious Heaven Seven Fiend Wheels (Swallowing Thief Wheel): 37/400]

[Potential: 971]

When he was condensing the fourth brake wheel, he consumed a large amount of Potential points, but now he not only fully replenished it, but also reached a record-breaking nearly a thousand points.

Wang Chen has a vague feeling that if his Potential points number reaches one thousand points, there will probably be some kind of change!

Wang Chen definitely doesn't know what kind of change it is now.

But he was very much looking forward to it.

To be honest, boiling medicine, decoction and drinking medicine every day is bitter and tiring, and it is not easy to persist every day.

Beep~

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly reached Wang Chen's ears.

He was startled and jumped out of the open window without thinking, landing in the small courtyard outside.

Bang!

Wang Chen looked up and saw a brilliant firework exploding high in the sky.

Blood-Clad Summons Order!

This is exactly the signal for Blood-Clad Guard to summon his colleagues. Once something important happens, all guards who see the fireworks signal must rush to the gathering place as soon as possible.

The direction in which the fireworks rose was the county health office.

Wang Chen immediately rode on Yellow Dappled Horse, which was tied to the door, and ran towards the guardhouse quickly.

Ordinary people are strictly prohibited from riding horses on the streets of the county town, because it is easy to hurt innocent passers-by.

But Blood-Clad Guard is not prohibited, so every time Wang Chen goes to the house he rents, he always rides his horse.

With only a cup of tea, he arrived at the guardhouse.

As a result, Wang Chen came to the door and just got off his horse, when he saw Old Qiu leading someone out in a hurry.

One of them, Blood-Clad Guard, frowned immediately when he saw Wang Chen: "Ling Zhiyuan, why don't you just stay in the guardhouse and run outside all day long?"

Wang Chen ignored the other party and only looked at Xiaoqi Old Qiu.

This guy's name is Dong Zhihui, and he belongs to Old Qiu's team just like Wang Chen. But from the day they met, he didn't like Wang Chen, and he made trouble for Wang Chen several times, overtly and covertly.

But Wang Chen is only busy with his own affairs and is too lazy to argue with the other party. In addition, Old Qiu has always had a good impression of him, so Dong Zhihui can't make any waves.

Unexpectedly, this guy would seize on a trivial matter and find trouble in public!

Old Qiu said in a deep voice, "Stop arguing, the mission is important, you all come with me!"

In fact, he didn't like Dong Zhihui very much. He was a man of great ambition and talent but was conceited and average in strength. He had been in the guard station for several years and was still just a seal guard.

In fact, Dong Zhihui doesn't like Wang Chen, and that's exactly why.

Old Qiu looks like a good old guy on the surface, and looks a bit weak, but how can a truly cowardly person be the flag of Blood-Clad Guard!

He blocked Dong Zhihui's mouth with a few words, and then rushed to the scene of the incident with three Blood-Clad Guard, including Wang Chen, and a yellow-haired dog.

Iron hooves struck the bluestone slabs, and the four horses galloped past on the long street, causing passers-by to retreat in shock.

The place where the accident occurred was a tailor shop in the west of the city. When the four riders arrived, many people gathered in front of the shop to watch the excitement.

Two detectives in Tsing Yi stood guard at the door to maintain order.

Xilulu~

Old Qiu pulled the rope to rein in the horse, picked up the thin dog and jumped off the horse.

Seeing the arrival of Blood-Clad Guard, the surrounding spectators immediately dispersed, and no one dared to come over again.

The two detectives saluted quickly. "Master Qiu!"

"No need to be polite!"

Old Qiu waved his hand and led the three of Wang Chen towards the store.

This tailor shop has a front shop and a backyard layout. The front is a shop for external business, and the back is a house where a family lives.

I saw the door to the main house open, and a strong smell of blood spread out from inside.

There are also two detectives in the house, one of whom is Captain Li who Wang Chen has dealt with before.

When Wang Chen stepped into the back room, the first thing that caught his eye was a body lying on the ground.

A corpse with human skin stripped off and muscles exposed!

The deceased obviously suffered great pain during his lifetime, and his hands and feet were twisted. Even if he lost his face, he could still tell how miserable he was at that time.

On the bed next to them, there were two similarly skinned corpses!

Such a tragic scene is enough to give people nightmares at night!

A worker is examining the body on the ground.

"Skin-Peeling Demon!"

Old Qiu's pupils shrank suddenly, his expression a bit ferocious. "How dare you show up again!"

It is said that there was only one kind of devil in the beginning, and that was Heavenly Demon.

But when the original demon came to this world and continued to infect and occupy human Divine Soul and bodies, different types were derived over thousands of years.

Skin-Peeling Demon is one of them.

This kind of demon likes to skin people alive, then repaint the skin and put it on themselves, pretending to be another person.

Skin-Peeling Demon often hoards several or even dozens of human skins and blends in with the crowd under different identities.

Find new goals!

This kind of evil is extremely ferocious and not easy to detect, so once it appears, it will be very harmful.

Linjiang County had appeared before Skin-Peeling Demon, but under the vigorous search of Blood-Clad Guard, it quickly disappeared and never appeared again.

Appear now!

"I just checked, these people should have been killed at Haishi last night!"

Captain Li said in a deep voice, "It was discovered when someone came to pick up clothes in the morning. Tailor Lin is a family of five. We found four skinned corpses. All four adults were present, but the five-year-old daughter was missing."

"I have sent people to search the surrounding area carefully. It is possible that Skin-Peeling Demon took him away..."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists involuntarily, showing the anger in his heart.

Although the head catcher was not a good person, seeing the Tailor Lin family in the village suffer such a misfortune, one could not help but feel sad.

Demon is the common enemy of mankind!

"Woof woof!"

At this moment, the thin dog, which had been sniffing around after being brought in by Old Qiu, suddenly barked toward the door, and then jumped out quickly.

"Follow up!"

Old Qiu waved his hand.

The thin dog he raised has an extremely sensitive sense of smell and can detect the scent of demons. It has helped him solve murder cases several times.

Therefore Old Qiu trusts it very much.

A group of people followed.

I saw the thin dog running out of the door and immediately jumped into an alley.

Everyone followed it all the way to the base of the city wall, and then the guy barked toward the top of the city wall.

Old Qiu lifted it up, held it in his arms and said, "Catch us after we leave the city."

The four Blood-Clad Guard returned to the tailor shop, mounted their mounts again, and came to the corresponding location after leaving the city.

Put down the thin dog again.

This time the thin dog ran towards the north, all the way into the dense mountain forest! ——

The second update is sent.
