Who hid My Corpse!

Bai Wei spoke as he walked towards the medicine cabinet and picked up a blood-stained medicine bottle.

"The fundamental reason is that the God of Senluo is dead, the former order has collapsed, hunters' skills have significantly declined, yet the dangers you face have not reduced," Bai Wei said leisurely, "So people here rely on hunters but don't trust them, fearing their investment in hunters will be wasted, resulting in a vicious cycle."

Vic said with a hint of helplessness: "There is no other way, it's very hard for the townspeople to buy medicine."

"Is that so?" Bai Wei pointed at the medicine cabinet in front of him, "If it's really that hard, then where did this big box of medicine come from? He can't be taking it for fun, right?"

Vic fell silent.

He naturally knew who these medicines were for.

Wildfire Believers.

"So," Bai Wei said with a smile, "As a priest of the Orthodox, what's wrong with snatching things from a cult?"

Vic had nothing to say.

"Speaking of which, the reason why it's so chaotic here is also because the Wildfire Believers have not yet become the true masters of this land," Bai Wei said, "The God of Senluo has been gone for a hundred years, if it were our Rhine, it wouldn't take ten years for everyone here to be singing praises of the Lord of Rhine's glorious brilliance, but the Wildfire Believers..."

Yes, Bai Wei pointed out the fundamental issue of this land — the lack of a new order.

Although the outside world already considers Wildfire as one of the Four Great Secret Religions, compared with the former Senluo Church, Wildfire Believers are more like a group of motley mercenaries.

And the main reason for this is... there is no new god on this land.

The Wildfire Sect does not have a Wildfire God.

So after the God of Senluo passed away, the people of this land did not give birth to a new faith, and the Wildfire Believers did not cultivate in this direction, so even now, they haven't completely replaced the functions of the former Senluo Hunters, which leads to the spectacle of the God of Senluo being dead for a hundred years, yet his hunters still working.

The work content is naturally... combating the night.

Bai Wei's words indeed made Vic feel that he understood Senluo better than himself, so he didn't dwell on this topic but instead asked: "Why do you want the 'Blood Coagulation Potion'? Even with that thing, entering the night is still very dangerous."

"What if your little dog is lost in the night?"

Vic's pupils slightly contracted, he was about to speak when he saw Bai Wei smile.

"I was just guessing randomly."

Vic: "..."

"But it's possible, right?" Bai Wei put the blood-stained medicine bottle back in the cabinet, "If you really want to find it, you can't ignore the night."

Before Vic could reply, the earlier male townsman had already returned, holding two dirty blood test tubes.

"There are only these two," the male townsman said with a dark face.

"Great." Bai Wei smiled as he took the test tubes, "This is already enough. As for the injury medicine, I've taken it, no need to trouble you."

The male townsman's face turned even darker, he gritted his teeth and said: "You haven't paid yet."

"Ah, you almost made me forget," Bai Wei tapped his head, and then belatedly smiled at the male townsman, "I am called Ulu, from Rhine."

The male townsman didn't care what Bai Wei's name was, he only cared about money, but after waiting a while, he found Bai Wei didn't make any further moves.

"What do you mean?"

"Paying, of course," Bai Wei said, "I said my name is Ulu, didn't I?"

"...What's the relation with money?" the male townsman said, "This isn't Rhine, what good is your name?"

"It's not useful now, but soon it will be."

"...Are you messing with me?!"

"I'm not messing with you, I'm telling the truth," Bai Wei said, "Soon someone will come here looking for me, you can tell them my information, and you'll be rewarded."

"...Are they your subordinates?"

"No." Bai Wei said lightly, "They are my enemies."

...

"This is about as far as we go, Bishop Fig," a priest from Rhine said, "Up ahead is Wildfire's territory."

Fig stopped his steps, looking at the dense jungle in front of him, like an open claw, the savage air rushing towards him.

"What an annoying smell," Fig wrinkled his nose, and then turned his head, "How's the preparation?"

Behind him was a knight order disguised as a caravan, and their thick muscles seemed about to burst from their plain clothing.

This was the most elite knight order in Fig's hands.

But they were not the focus of this mission.

The focus was the unique wooden box on the carriage.

Under Fig's gaze, one of the wooden boxes was opened.

A pungent stench, accompanied by a sound like bones being chewed, emanated from within, giving off a deep sense of unease.

"The Devourer's reaction is more intense than before," Fig said. "It seems to sense something."

"Yes," the knight beside him replied, "the Devourer has always been sensitive to the power of Visas. If we release it now, it will follow the scent directly to find the holder of the Corpse Blocks and won't stop until it reaches the goal. It's just that..."

"Hmm?"

"Our control over it only works within a certain range. Once it exceeds that range, it will become ineffective," the knight said. "At that time, it will go into a berserk state, attacking all living things around it. To regain control, we would need to bring it back within range and ring this bell."

The knight picked up the bell from his waist and gave it a gentle shake.

The sound of the bell was faint, and the Devourer inside the box shivered slightly.

Fig just smiled: "Isn't this great?"

Then he stepped forward and gazed at the ugly thing inside the box.

"Let's just let it wreak havoc."

Saying that, he unlocked the chains.

...

Thus, Bai Wei successfully bought the medicine and left the townsperson's home satisfied.

Though the townsperson wasn't very pleased.

After stepping out of the house, Vic immediately caught up with Bai Wei and, lowering his voice, said: "Ulu..."

"Call me Priest Ulu."

"...Priest Ulu," Vic asked, "That person seemed very concerned about the innermost room, and it seemed like you knew what was inside."

"Oh? So you noticed, huh?"

"It was hard not to."

"Your perception is indeed sharp." Bai Wei extended his hand, ruffling Vic's hair. "Then did you smell anything?"

"...A stench," Vic said.

"Like those things in the darkness?"

Vic nodded.

"Haha, very normal." Bai Wei looked at Vic, speaking somewhat meaningfully, "Hunters have fallen, yet people still live in the dark, there must be some methods, and most of these methods can't see the light of day."

Vic furrowed his brows tightly, pondering for a moment but still unable to find an answer, so he said: "Can't you be a bit clearer?"

"I'm just helping you find a dog, I didn't say I would solve your puzzles," Bai Wei responded as Vic was about to lose his temper.

"But given how patient you are, a little reward isn't out of the question." Bai Wei took out the blood coagulation potion he had previously "bought." "The answer lies within."

Vic, initially displeased with Bai Wei's explanation, had his attention immediately diverted upon hearing this.

"What do you mean?"

"The blood coagulation potion is a tool hunters use to hide in the darkness." Bai Wei handed the potion to Vic, "Take a look."

Vic accepted the potion.

He had never used it before, so upon receiving it, he immediately took a sniff.

Meanwhile, Bai Wei stood silently watching.

As he saw Vic unwittingly extend his tongue to lick the edge of the test tube while sniffing it, Bai Wei's smile broadened.
