One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 40: Ghost Back
Su Heng borrowed the demon-hunting disk from his sister and went out to search again.

Unfortunately, after all the hard work, he returned empty-handed. He took the opportunity to go to the courtyard and brought back all the remaining meat from the basement.

"The fog monster can affect the judgment of the monster-hunting disk by changing the concentration of fog. I feel like I'm being led by the nose by it." Su Heng said expressionlessly.

"Ah...this."

Su Li reached out and squeezed her brother's arm, "Be patient and don't be angry."

"Since the demon is unwilling to fight you head-on, it means that its current strength is not as good as yours." Su Li comforted, "What we lack is an opportunity."

"Now we can only wait." Su Heng sighed and looked up at the sky.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for a rain." Su Heng replied.

Changqing County is located in the south, with a rainy climate, and it is spring now.

The talent gained from the fusion of the water ghost's poison sac gave him a premonition that this rain would not take too long.

but……

Before this matter is over, Su Heng still has another thing to accomplish.

"Does the Demon Suppression Division have any elixirs that can increase qi and blood to aid in cultivation?" Su Heng withdrew his gaze from the sky and landed on Su Li, and suddenly asked.

"Yes." Su Li took out a white porcelain bottle from her arms. "This is a Qi and Blood Pill, which can promote the transformation of the body and increase cultivation. It is made from the flesh and blood of demons and more than ten kinds of precious medicinal materials. Don't eat too much at one time, it's easy to lose control..."

"how much do you have?"

Su Heng reached out to take it and opened the stopper.

The aroma emanating from it made his mouth water and his stomach and intestines moved with a thunderous sound.

"I have three bottles, each containing ten Qi and Blood Pills."

"I want it all."

"Okay." Su Li handed the remaining two bottles of pills to Su Heng.

"I may need to stay in seclusion for two or three days." Su Heng did not thank him. Given the relationship between them, saying such polite words would only make things seem awkward.

"If there is any unexpected situation, you can always notify me."

"I know." Su Li said gently.

Su Heng began to practice in seclusion and make the final sprint.

Su Li was responsible for handling chores, maintaining order, and taking care of her younger brother Su Shang who was infected with the bacteria.

The first day passed peacefully.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day and the atmosphere gradually became depressing.

Thick clouds covered the sky. Looking up into the distance, everything was gray and no sound could be heard. It was so quiet that it drove people crazy.

Then came the third day...

There was a strange noise coming from outside the courtyard wall, as if something was hitting the gate.

But it was obscured by the fog and nothing could be seen clearly.

Everyone was trembling.

Fourth day.

The impacts were getting bigger and bigger.

A cold wind blew past, slightly dispersing the mist. Everyone was horrified to find that outside the courtyard wall was a large group of mummies infected by the fungus.

Zhao Hu led the guards to shoot with crossbows. The arrows pierced through the chest, but no blood oozed out of the wound. The internal organs of these infected people were completely dried up, and their bodies were full of white mycelium without any blood. In the end, it was Su Li who took action to repel these infected people.

And so, time came to the fifth day.

Some people finally couldn't bear it anymore and started asking about Su Heng's whereabouts.

Su Heng is undoubtedly the backbone of the Su family, but he has not shown up for some time, and everyone is talking about it and feeling panic.

"almost……"

Su Li said, "He is in seclusion now. When he is done with this seclusion, he should be able to resolve this crisis."

"Really?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but still a little skeptical.

"We have to get through this together." Su Li said seriously, and everyone nodded and slowly dispersed.

After everyone left, Su Li reached out and tucked the hair that was scattered around her ears.

She raised her head and looked towards the sky with emotion. In the gray sky, a cold raindrop left a scratch like a knife.

"It's raining..." A smile broke out on Su Li's face and heaved a sigh of relief.

……

……

……

The courtyard where Su Heng practiced.

A loud, dull sound came from the room, like the panting of a beast or the roar of a river.

The further forward Su Li moved, the more clearly he felt the temperature of his surrounding body rising, to the point that a light layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knock on the door echoed in the courtyard, and Su Li waited outside for a while.

There was no response from inside. Thinking of what Su Heng had said, Su Li became more and more worried.

She frowned, finally gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to push forward.

laugh!
The door was not locked.

Just by pushing open a gap, a large amount of hot steam will expand and escape from the room wildly, making a terrifying and sharp whistle!

"This……"

There was a vast expanse of white in front of him. Su Li opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

The scorching hot steam enveloped her, her long black hair spread out behind her like a dark cloud, and her clothes fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.

The wooden door in front of her began to crack and then collapsed with a loud bang.

Only a wooden door handle was left, which was still tightly held in Su Li's hand.

After a while.

The thick fog gradually dissipated, and Su Li could see the scene in the house clearly.

In the two corners stood huge wooden barrels filled with hot gray-white stones.

It should have been filled with water, but the water evaporated, so a large amount of steam accumulated in the room.

Look up and look forward.

But in the white fog, a huge, hideous, distorted ghost face vaguely appeared in the darkness.

"Ah——" Su Li's heart skipped a beat, her chest ached, and she almost screamed.

As she took a step back, her emotions gradually calmed down.

Only then did they realize that what appeared in the mist was not a real evil ghost, but an extremely strong and muscular mass of twisted and separated muscles!
The well-developed latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus and erector spinae muscles make up the face of the evil spirit.

The teres minor muscle protruding outward under the shoulder blade forms the ghost's hideous and terrifying eyes.

"call!"

As Su Heng took a long breath, his muscles stretched.

The sound of muscles tensing up came from his body, and a large number of red veins appeared all over his body. It was like countless giant earthworms and centipedes crawling on his body, densely packed, with tendons and bones protruding. Just one look at it, the sense of power so strong that it could explode made people's scalps numb.

"open!"

There was a low huh, and then a sudden explosion.

Countless huge tendons squirmed wildly, twisted and entangled, forming two red and burning tumors on the teres minor muscle.

Ghost back, open your eyes!
Boom!

The powerful force that had been suppressed to the extreme burst out with a loud bang.

Invisible energy swept in all directions, reverberating repeatedly in the semi-enclosed room. The wooden table shattered, the wardrobe collapsed. The tightly closed window exploded, and dozens or even hundreds of irregular fragments flew out more than ten meters away.

Su Li's eyes suddenly turned dark, and she was caught off guard and fell backwards with her head raised.
