Little Baby, I Found You (Please Recommend)

Creak!

The bedroom door slowly opened a crack, as though blown open by the wind.

A few seconds later.

Apparently hearing no movement inside, two figures entered one after the other.

They walked straight into the room.

They were as casual as if they were in their own home, seemingly not worried in the slightest about being discovered by whoever was inside.

By the light from the hallway outside, the two immediately spotted the slightly raised quilt on the bed.

Just as they were about to approach.

Quack! Quack!

The Camphor Tea Duck, which had been squatting in its cage asleep, seemed startled by the sudden disturbance and immediately began flapping about in a panic.

"Hm?"

The sudden noise drew both of their attention.

But when they saw what had made the sound, they were both momentarily stunned.

This was... a duck?

Whoosh!

At that instant, a fierce gust suddenly surged from behind the wardrobe at their backs!

The man whipped around and saw an axe flash cleaving straight at his face.

Yet rather than panicking, he gave a disdainful chuckle.

He reached out to grab it.

After transforming into a Black Blood Species, his physique, strength, and defense had all greatly improved.

At his current level, he had not yet reached the point of being as unbreakable as refined steel.

But an axe should not have been able to hurt him either.

Splurt!

However, in the next moment.

His defense, enough to ignore some blades, was like thin paper before this axe, pierced through in an instant as the bones in his hand were torn apart.

After splitting his palm, the axe blade did not pause in the slightest and chopped directly into the man's forehead.

The tremendous force split his head in two.

In an instant, thick black blood erupted like a fountain compressed to its limit.

It shot up to the ceiling in a flash, splattering everywhere.

With a bang, the man's headless corpse crashed to the floor.

Perhaps because it had all happened too quickly, he was not quite dead yet, his limbs twitching faintly.

"A Yi! You're courting death!"

Seeing her boyfriend collapse, the woman's expression changed drastically, and in her fury she let out a low roar.

The next moment, her skin turned deathly pale, as if every trace of blood had drained from it.

Her body swelled as though inflated, reaching a height of two meters, and her slip dress was torn completely apart.

In an instant, she transformed into a monster.

Thick saliva dripped from her jagged maw as it opened and closed. Her figure flashed, and she lunged viciously at Hu Qi.

Hu Qi's face remained cold and expressionless. He said nothing.

Both hands gripped the axe tightly, the muscles in his arms and wrists bulging high.

He drew in a breath, swung the giant axe, and charged forward.

As the axe blade swung, its edge reflected a streak of white light.

It cleaved upward from below.

Splurt!

The axe, weighing more than thirty pounds, became an afterimage under Hu Qi's thousand-pound force.

The instant its blade touched the monster the woman had become, flesh, bone, and fascia were ripped apart on the spot.

A shriveled, claw-covered arm reaching for Hu Qi flew high into the air.

Not only that, a massive wound, deep enough to expose bone, had opened from her lower abdomen to her shoulder.

Her flesh curled and tore apart, dark-red blood gushing out and dripping onto the ground, giving off a pungent stench.

—Aah!

The female monster let out a brief, miserable scream.

The intense pain and looming threat of death briefly cleared her mind, which had been driven mad with rage at seeing her boyfriend die.

Reason reclaimed her body.

Looking at Hu Qi, drenched in blood and holding a giant axe, her heart trembled.

At once.

Without the slightest hesitation, she turned and charged straight for the open door behind her.

Strangely, though her body was huge, she was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, she had rushed into the hallway.

"Hm? You think you can run after provoking me? Where's the sweet deal in that!"

A savage smile spread across Hu Qi's face.

Looking at the monster whose head he had split open with one blow, Hu Qi suddenly realized that these monsters were not as powerful or invincible as he had imagined.

They would die just the same if struck in a vital spot.

Since they could die, what the hell was there to fear?

With the giant axe in hand, he used the Crane Leg technique.

Taking one step, his figure was like a white crane spreading its wings, easily crossing several meters as he gave chase.

The silent stairwell was as quiet as a graveyard.

A trail of mottled bloodstains, large and small, stretched across the floor into the distance.

The air was thick with the rich, pungent smell of blood.

"Little darling, you're so naughty. Stop hiding, big brother can see you! Come on out. I'll fix your pipes for free—I won't charge you a cent."

Hu Qi wore a smile as he called softly.

His voice echoed through the silent, dim stairwell.

Anyone who heard it would think he was a gentle, kindly big brother.

Of course, that was only if they could overlook the fact that he was covered in blood and carrying a giant axe taller than half a man.

Hu Qi swept his gaze around.

In the hallway before him, door after door stood ajar. Some rooms had their lights on, while others were pitch-black.

Seeing this, and recalling that no one had come out to investigate despite such a huge commotion.

As he inhaled the choking stench of blood in the air.

A bold guess faintly arose in Hu Qi's mind.

There might not be a single living thing left on these floors—perhaps even in this entire building.

That guess was confirmed when he pushed open one of the rooms.

Inside were severed limbs torn to pieces everywhere. He even saw an infant lying in swaddling clothes, its neck bitten through.

The baby's innocent eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling.

As if it still did not understand what had happened.

Seeing this, Hu Qi's eyes darkened.

Yet the smile on his face only grew broader.

Tap, tap...

The wandering footsteps gradually faded away.

At the corner at the end of a side corridor.

Behind a half-closed security door.

In a shadowed crack above the door, pressed against it.

A white figure clung to the wall.

Her gaze remained fixed on the door before her.

Her entire body was like a gigantic spider poised to pounce upon its prey.

Only after hearing the footsteps gradually recede did she finally let out a long breath.

"What the hell was that guy?"

Thinking of the scene where her boyfriend's head had been blown apart in a single strike, as well as that tremendous strength.

A flicker of fear crossed the woman's savage, pallid face.

"No, that man was clearly an ordinary person.

A month ago, he was beaten badly enough to end up in the hospital. How could he possibly be this strong?"

She could not understand why someone could undergo such an enormous change in such a short time.

Unfortunately, no one could explain it to her.

Fortunately, he had not discovered her for the moment.

Once she escaped, she would definitely report this matter to her master.

She would make that lowly blood-meal pay a painful price.

Just as she was thinking this.

"Little baby, I found you!"

Suddenly, a devilish whisper sounded right against the crack of the door.

The woman looked up and saw a blood-soaked figure standing at the door crack, one bloodshot eye quietly watching her through the gap.
