I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

On the stone bridge where the river was gurgling, Kong Ning slowly opened his eyes.

His hand loosened from Ma Liu's temple.

On the arm of the right hand, there was a scar with deep visible bone, and the blood was flowing continuously. The right shoulder was completely split open, revealing the squirming internal organs and the thick bone stubble.

Fortunately, with the circulation of the demon power in the body, the terrifying wound squirmed and healed quickly. In the end, there was not even a scar left.

Only then was Kong Ning heaved a sigh of relief, and sat slumped on the stone bridge, panting slightly under the icy moonlight.

The fighting in the nightmare was more dangerous than he had imagined.

Even though he was at a disadvantage, Kong Ning was seriously injured by the monster's dying counterattack.

Fortunately, as long as the injury is not fatal, the demon power can repair it in time. Moreover, he who caught the monster's body finally hacked the evil spirit to death in Ma Liu's nightmare.

Now Ma Liu, who was covered in wounds, was lying on the side with a pale face, breathing gradually calmed down.

And the mysterious black jar in the dantian vibrated loudly, after refining, a steady stream of demonic power flowed to Kong Ning's limbs and bones.

Kong Ning clearly sensed that the monster power in his body started to skyrocket again.

In the end, the demon power in Kong Ning's body more than doubled, from forty years of demon practice during the day to seventy years of practice.

Um? Seventy years?

After realizing this, Kong Ning frowned slightly.

Only thirty years of practice have been added...

Refining a soul-eating demon during the day has increased its demon power for forty years, but now refining a nightmare ghost that is stronger than a soul-eating demon has only increased its Taoism by thirty years?

It seems that the later the practice of this monster, the more difficult it is.

Because Kong Ning, who has practiced Taoism for 70 years, can clearly feel that his combat effectiveness has definitely more than doubled compared to when he practiced Taoism for 40 years.

But there is still a long way to go before he can fight against the monster at home. After all, that witch can transform into form...

In addition, this time refining the Nightmare Ghost did not gain new supernatural powers, but simply obtained demonic power.

Obviously, the mysterious black pot refining monsters, in addition to the stable acquisition of demon power, the acquisition of special items such as supernatural powers has a probability, and supernatural powers cannot be obtained every time.

But having demon power is enough!

Lying on the cold stone bridge, Kong Ning let out a long breath and clenched his fists.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the most difficult thing is to start from nothing. Now that I have passed the most difficult period, I finally have 70 years of Taoism.

More or less, it can be regarded as a little resistance. Judging from the memory fragments of the soul-eater, although the monster who has practiced for seventy years is not very strong, he can barely be regarded as a little bit strong, and he is no longer a small character.

And for Kong Ning, this is just the beginning.

Next, you only need to hide carefully, fight steadily, rely on the mysterious black pot to devour other monsters in the city, and sooner or later, you will be able to trample the monsters at home under your feet.

Even becoming stronger, being able to fly into the sky and escape from the ground, burning mountains and boiling seas in an understatement... Such a state is not impossible.

It's just that the misty white mist used to find the target in the black tank takes time to accumulate. Kong Ning cannot immediately look for the next target.

But six months is still too early, Kong Ning can afford to wait.

Exhaling a long breath, Kong Ning stood up, picked up Ma Liu who was covered in blood, and walked towards the Yamen.

At this time, Ma Liu had already escaped from the nightmare ghost's illusion. The reason why he didn't wake up for a long time was because he was seriously injured and fell into a coma, so he had to be sent back to the Yamen as soon as possible to bandage the wound.

In Kong Ning's hand, he was also carrying a pale corpse of a baby ghost.

This is a monster transformed by the Nightmare Ghost in Ma Liu's dream, taking advantage of Ma Liu's fear, and it is not the true face of the Nightmare Ghost. But Kong Ning hacked him to death in this state, and the corpse that appeared from the Nightmare Ghost was like this.

Carrying the body of the baby ghost with fat limbs and an astonishingly large head, and Ma Liu covered in blood, Kong Ning quickly returned to the Shanlan County Government Office.

At this time, the yamen was in chaos. The detectives who woke up one after another were shocked when they found that Kongning and Maliu were missing, thinking that Kongning and Maliu had been taken away by monsters.

Zhang Rong, the team leader, was about to send someone to look for the bodies of Ma Liu and Kong Ning, when he saw Kong Ning, covered in blood, coming back carrying Ma Liu, who was also covered in blood.

All the arresters stared wide-eyed.

Wow! Kong Ning, what happened to you and Ma Liu? Why is it all blood?

Wait! That thing in your hand...is it a ghost?!

What the hell happened? Where did you go?

Shocked and confused, the arresters quickly took the injured Maliu from Kong Ning and carried him in to bandage the wound.

Kong Ning, who was not injured, waved his hand, threw the nightmare ghost's body to Zhang Rong, the team leader, and said, Don't mention it, this monster can use magic to stun people. None of the traps we set up in advance have worked. It took us all down by hiding outside.

Fortunately, when this guy came in to kill people, Ma Liu was by my side and woke me up. Seeing it dragging Ma Liu out, I immediately chased after it, and finally rescued Ma Liu.

However, this guy seems to have a special liking for Maliu. I chased it all the way to cut it, but it didn't resist much, and it just cared about eating Maliu.

Kong Ning said: I don't know if Ma Liu offended it.

In front of all the arresting officers, Kong Ning uttered nonsense, blushing and heartbeatingly telling a bunch of lies. Because he knew that after telling this lie, all the arresters would tell him a lie.

Sure enough, after the police officers walked around the corpse of the ghost baby, all of them showed strange smiles.

Zhang Rong patted Kong Ning on the shoulder, winked and said with a wink, You don't know the reason, but it's because you don't go to Chunfeng Building very often... who told you to only drink flower wine every time you go, and not enter the house? As long as you enter the house a few times, you will know what this ghost baby is.

The other detectives all laughed.

All the arresting officers present had heard of the ghost baby legend circulating in the brothel in Shanlan County, and no one was unfamiliar with it.

Kong Ning's hints, coupled with the appearance of the ghost baby, quickly reminded the policemen of the ghost baby in the legend of the brothel. And it's only normal for such a ghost, which was born out of resentment from destroying babies, to focus on Maliu, a frequent visitor to the brothel.

After all, it is known that there are nine species that Maliu has destroyed in these years...

Soon, Ma Liu, who had bandaged and cleaned the wound and applied medicine again, also woke up. The guy was supported and ran out stumbled. When he saw the ghost baby's body, he was so frightened that his feet went limp and he collapsed on the ground.

After a long while, Ma Liucai grabbed Zhang Rong's trousers and said, Boss, can I... can I bury this thing? I want to ask someone to save it, and give it a longevity card when I go home... ...

Although I can't remember what happened in the nightmare, Ma Liu probably guessed the origin of this ghost baby.

But the team leader shook his head and said: It's useless for you to tell me about it. Your lord has to nod... I've already sent someone to inform your lord. You can tell him yourself later.

Tonight's incident, for all the arresters, this is the end.

Only Ma Liu looked at the ghost's pale and ferocious corpse with a look of disappointment.
