The monster that Bloody was fighting was a human-form monster. It had four limbs and walked upright on both feet. It looked like a seven to an eight-year-old child of 1.2 meters height with a face that was similar to a human childâs. However, its skin was blue, and there was a ten-centimeter-long black horn on its head and a blue tail behind it. Lin Huang immediately recognized that it was the Undead Devil Child that Bloody was looking for.
Lin Huang was puzzled as he watched the chaotic fight. Bloody had the ability to parasitize through shadows whereby it could just leech directly onto the monster instead of fighting it at a close distance. However, he noticed that the Undead Evil Child had no shadow under the sunlight. Meanwhile, the Undead Evil Child had cast an illusion on Bloody but it did not expect Bloody to have a more powerful spiritual level than it did, so its illusion did not work. Bloody could control tens of thousands of parasitic hosts at once; its spiritual level was many times more powerful than any creature of the same level. It was immune to many spiritual attacks.
As the attacks did not work on both of them, the battle became a chaotic fight show. There were flaws everywhere as Lin Huang watched, and the fight was getting nowhere. However, Lin Xin could not capture the flurry of movement of the two complete gold-level monsters with her eyes. All she could see was a red and a blue shadow moving in the desert which seemed quite interesting.
Bloodyâs current form was a giant python, which was its original form. The Undead Evil Child always managed to avoid its attacks. Fortunately, the Undead Evil Child was no good in physical attack, so the attacks that were cast on Bloody were ineffective.
"Why do you keep chasing after it? With your estimation abilities, you should be able to tell where itâs going to run. All youâll have to do is to block its way as it escapes and attack again, isnât it?" Lin Huang could see that Bloody was lacking battle experience. He was considering summoning other monsters that did not have the opportunity to battle to train with his other monsters to strengthen their battle ability.
Bloody was inspired by Lin Huangâs reminder. Three minutes later, the Undead Evil Childâs thigh was caught as it was running away and the parasite was released. Bloody then strangled the entire Undead Evil Childâs body like a giant python. It was Lin Huang who had instructed Bloody to do that as he did not want Lin Xin to know about Bloodyâs parasitic ability and therefore had created an illusion of strangling the Undead Evil Child. Meanwhile, Bloody could extract its memories as it did that.
"Brother, whatâs that little blue man that Bloody is strangling?" Lin Xin had only learned about the beginner version of the monster encyclopedia, so she could not recognize many of the monsters.
"This is an Undead Evil Child. Itâs a gold-level undead monster," Lin Huang then told Lin Xin about the story of the Undead Evil Child hypnotizing people and eating their flesh.
"Why do so many monsters love eating human flesh?" Lin Xin asked in all seriousness after listening to the story. Her focus point was very different from the others.
"Perhaps human flesh is tastier than monstersâ." Lin Huang could only think of that explanation.
Fortunately, Bloody was done with its business, so the awkward conversation did not last too long. Bloody shrunk its body back to its earlier size and went into Lin Huangâs sleeve after it had killed the Undead Evil Child.
"Itâs done?" Lin Huang contacted Bloody in his mind.
"I have extracted its memory. Iâll need some time to study. I hope you donât recall me back into card form just yet, Master," Bloody requested.
"Alright then, stay in my sleeve for now. Iâll let you out when weâre back in the White Capital," Lin Huang agreed.
"Itâs done, letâs go!" Lin Huang summoned his dimensional relic.
"Where are we going?" Lin Xin asked.
"Fattyâs home!"
As they stepped into the dimensional relic, they arrived at Fattyâs hometown in Nanmu Town. Fattyâs home was less than two kilometers from the old town. It was past 1 p.m. Lin Huang brought Lin Xin to a random noodle store for lunch before heading to Fattyâs home. It was around 1.40 p.m. when they arrived at Fattyâs home.
The man guarding the door noticed that they had just been here earlier, so he informed the housekeeper, and they were soon allowed into the house. The housekeeper greeted them at the door and brought them straight to the second floor, not asking anything this time. The old lady had just woken up from her nap and did not expect Lin Huang to visit. She allowed them in as soon as the housekeeper informed her of their presence.
This time, the two aunts were not there, so it was just the old lady alone. The old lady did not look as well as she did the first time they saw her.
"Xiao Linzi, you must be free today since youâre visiting this old lady," the old lady chuckled, hiding her emotions.
Lin Huangâs eyes twitched when he heard how the old lady addressed him. The nickname was named after a eunuch in a martial art novel on Earth.
"Iâm running errands around the area, so I thought I would drop by to see you," Lin Huang said with a smile.
"What is that? Is it done? Do you need our help?" The old lady was eager.
"Itâs okay, I came here after I settled my stuff." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head.
"How have you been?" Lin Huang asked.
"Nothing much, just some pain here and there. Itâs normal because Iâm old as long as they donât bother me too much," the old lady said.
"The aunties arenât home?" Lin Huang addressed them like how Fatty would have, and the old lady did not mind him calling the aunts like that.
The old lady was gloomy when she heard the question.
"Donât talk about the two of them."
"What happened?" Lin Huang asked, guessing that it had something to do with the Ke Lai Hotel, which was his purpose of visiting.
"Since youâre Hangyiâs friend, you must have heard him mention the family hotel?" The old lady hesitated before she started to speak again.
"Yes, I know, Hangyi brought me to Ke Lai Hotel in Baqi City last year. Uncle was at the hotel as well, and he made us some of his signature dishes."
The old lady had tears in her eyes when she heard Lin Huang talking about her son and grandson, but she managed to hold her tears in.
"So, you have been there before. How was it?" The old lady closed her eyes for a while before asking.
"It was great. Uncleâs cooking skill is the best of the best among normal people. Some of the Food Hunters arenât even as good as him," Lin Huang positively commented on Fattyâs fatherâs cooking skill.
"If he trained himself, he would definitely make a renowned Food Hunter," he added.
The old lady was solemn for a while after hearing the comment.
"Xiao Linzi, are you interested in taking over Ke Lai Hotel?" The old lady asked after she seemed to have already decided on it.
