Chapter 524: Chapter 335: Little Crow’s Perilous Escape_3
Codes within a hundred generally either belonged to powerful monsters in history that had completely vanished in the Witch Sea or to ancient monsters from the Deep Sea.
09, in the Monster Book, seemed to correspond to an ancient Dark Beldam who had once nearly destroyed the entire Witch Sea… Little Crow touched her forehead.
If her guess was right, then the value of this potion was immeasurable.
Even a bit of blood or a strand of hair from this beldam could grant someone unimaginable Extraordinary Power.
I am a Drug Test Subject, can I consume this potion? Little Crow boldly speculated, yet, the complex Shadow Phase power inherent in the potion instantly dispelled her thoughts.
At this moment, even touching the potion would cause her body to explode!
...
Little Crow snapped back to reality and decisively reached out to touch the second item.
“Ah!”
The moment she touched the second item, Little Crow’s fingers bled instantly, and she couldn’t help but scream.
Afterwards, she put on surgical Extraordinary Gloves before she could barely pick up this blood-red card.
Visually speaking, this card seemed more like a blade covered in nearly a hundred knife marks…
No, more precisely, nearly a thousand, nearly ten thousand—impossible to identify.
Beneath these knife marks, it was as if time itself had been severed on the card.
This was a Legendary-Level, backpack card-unfit Blade Phase Skill Card! It might even be a Blade Release Skill Card! Little Crow couldn’t discern the specific function of this Skill Card.
But there was no doubt, only a Legendary of the Blade Phase could use this card!
Beside the Blade Card was a distinct gift box.
Are both this card and the potion meant to be gifts? Little Crow pondered.
Outside, a chilling breeze blew.
Pressed for time, Little Crow without overthinking, took both items and put them in the surgical bag she held.
So heavy… Little Crow struggled with the bag, then quickly left the treasure vault and headed toward the ground.
Unexpectedly, this theft went unobstructed on the way, with no one stopping or questioning her.
Moreover, due to the nightfall, it was hard for anyone to spot her movements.
“I, this useless creature, seem quite lucky…”
Little Crow rubbed her blackened eyes and said with a bitter smile.
Next, was to find a boat and escape from here.
On the island, the cold wind was biting. From afar in the sea, one could hear the faint booming of cannons, while from the surrounding houses came the sounds of people attacking each other due to the ‘Blood Disaster.’
If only I knew Water Walking… Little Crow followed the path toward the back of Devil Island.
At the back of the island, there was a special steamboat meant for escapes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, she hadn’t walked far when she heard voices and saw a crowd.
“Who’s there?”
Little Crow asked in alarm.
The crowd ahead slowly turned around and looked at Little Crow in alarm.
These people were disheveled with evident wounds on their bodies and were also clad in dusty white laboratory coats.
They were researchers from the facility.
A leading researcher with one broken arm held his trembling six-year-old daughter and said in alarm:
“Doctor Crow…”
Their eyes met, and Little Crow quickly understood that like her, they were trying to escape.
Many of Devil Island’s researchers were forced to come here due to family, debts, and other reasons.
There was no better chance to escape than now!
Without speaking, Little Crow silently followed them, continuing forward.
Step! Step!
Carefully treading, they soon reached the backside of Devil Island.
A hundred meters ahead, the emergency boat symbolizing ‘freedom and redemption’ quietly floated on the water.
“We can finally… leave…”
Little Crow, who had been suppressing her emotions, finally managed a smile of relief.
Perhaps with the treasures in hand, she could quit her job.
Sadly, only I can get out… Little Crow turned back for one last look at the research facility’s tall building.
However, the moment she turned around, a pair of fresh blood eyes met her gaze.
“Where are you going?”
Blood Demon Doctor Joseph holding a bottle of blood wine, smiled.
His white laboratory coat was completely soaked in blood.
…
Everyone turned back, their pupils sharply constricting!
In that moment, their expressions fell from the joy of a successful escape to utter despair.
Other than the child who was howling in tears, everyone else’s face turned ashen, gasping for breath, their hearts pounding furiously.
They had failed.
“Don’t cry…”
The leading doctor pressed his child’s mouth with his hand.
Blood Demon Doctor liked to deal with the most struggling individuals first.
“I just need a bit more blood…”
Blood Demon Doctor swirled his wine glass playfully, looking at the terrified expressions of the people before him, anticipating their loss of control, begging, breaking down, kneeling, self-harming, awaiting their reactions as they faced death.
Only the struggling prey was most delicious!
The sea breeze blew gently, a prolonged silence.
Hmm? Blood Demon Doctor stopped swirling his wine glass.
Unexpectedly, the people in front didn’t beg him for mercy.
Instead, their fearful eyes just lifted to look behind him.
Little Crow raised her head, her hand holding the medical bag trembling.
Blood Demon Doctor turned around, lifted his head.
Behind him, under the Red Moon, atop the tall building.
Click! Click!
A monster with black arms growing out its back, dressed in black Hunter’s clothes, crouched on top of the building, lighting a lantern in hand, gave them a faint smile.
