Chapter 6: Night Demon

This creature is covered in shiny black oil, with a layer of soft fur on its body. It has a round little head with two large ears, resembling a bat, but its size exceeds half a meter. Especially on its face, it has no eyes or mouth, only a strange nose and a needle-like mouthpart.

Night Stalker Bat.

This species does not belong to this world. Like the sulfuric acid worm seen before, this creature comes from a dimensional crack. Apart from being called the Night Stalker Bat, it also has another name.

Night Demon.

Although it looks like a bat, its way of hunting is similar to that of a mosquito. They like to pierce their prey's bodies with sharp mouthparts and suck blood for energy.

A Night Demon can consume the blood of five adults in a day. Greed and ugliness are its synonyms. Moreover, it is a social creature, ranging from a few to dozens of them acting together.

Their hunting method is quite peculiar. Since they have no eyes, they cannot hunt visually. When flying in the air, they like to spread urine over a large area. This urine has a distinct odor. With their degraded sense of smell, in the dark underground, they rely on the special odor in the liquid to track their prey.

A bizarre way of hunting.

They sow during the day and feed at night.

Hence, the name Night Demon.

"What's going on?"

Chen Feng looked at the flickering figure at the door, his tone somewhat low. This kind of creature has no eyes or ears, so it's impossible for it to have followed him all the way here.

When Chen Feng came out of the arena, he could confirm that he had not encountered the Night Demon. But now, these Night Demons are attacking the convenience store!

"Wait..."

Chen Feng's body stiffened, and he slowly turned to the girl beside him. By now, the girl was already in a panic, with a look of horror in her eyes.

Chen Feng could be sure that he had not encountered the Night Demon, but... there were two people in this convenience store.

At first, Chen Feng thought the girl had been scratched on the neck, but upon closer inspection, he found that the color on the girl's body looked more like a dye. Chen Feng lowered his head and gently sniffed, and his pupils instantly narrowed into slits.

"The smell of urine!"

All the puzzles were solved. The girl had mentioned encountering a flying monster, and obviously, the monster she mentioned was the Night Demon in front of them. She had also been contaminated with urine, and the Night Demon had found its way here through her.

"Don't..."

The girl let out a piercing scream, and Chen Feng's actions at the moment were truly misleading. Not only did he tear the girl's clothes, but he also sniffed her skin like a pervert. Overwhelmed by the invasion of her body, the girl was too frightened to care about the threat outside and called out loudly.

"Let me go... I'll call for help... You'll be caught..."

"Click!"

Chen Feng made a neck-twisting motion.

The girl's voice abruptly stopped, her nerves were damaged, and she immediately fainted.

She slumped to the ground, her little face seeming to still be frozen in the moment of panic. This all happened so suddenly that she had not anticipated that Chen Feng would suddenly knock her out.

Chen Feng took a few steps, picked up a pair of scissors from the shelf, and without any hesitation, made a deep cut on the girl's shoulder. Blood immediately flowed from the wound.

The degraded sense of smell even made the Night Demon unable to discern the smell of food.

Blood!

This would mask the original smell on the girl's body!

This was a basic knowledge in dealing with Night Demons.

In the situation just now, Chen Feng only had two choices: one, to release the Night Demon and fight it to protect the girl. Although this would save the girl, it would bring about a crisis and expose his whereabouts. He would not only have to face the Night Demon but also the other predators on the street.

Two, to cut the girl's body to let the blood cover her smell for his own safety!

As soon as the thought appeared, Chen Feng did not even hesitate. He subconsciously knocked out the girl, then used her blood to mask her smell.

Is he ruthless?

This place is not secure. Even without Chen Feng, the girl would have been drained of blood by the Night Demon and died a miserable death. From the mark left on her body, this was already predetermined.

But now...

She was only injured on the shoulder, and her life was not in danger.

As for pity, that was out of the question.

You go and pretend to be pitiful to those monsters outside the door, shed tears, and see if they will spare you?

This world is cruel, filled with danger at every moment. Death from hunger, death from being eaten by zombies, death from fighting, or from illness.

The survival of the fittest.

It's a simple truth.

"Bang..."

The convenience store's door was hit again. The Night Demons hesitated. They had clearly sensed the scent of prey inside just now.

The pungent smell of blood had worked.

Chen Feng made a mark in his hand. Being cautious did not mean being weak. If the Night Demons really forced their way in, he would have to fight.

However, the Night Demons only hit the door a few times before stopping. These creatures had extremely low intelligence, and their sense of smell had been masked, so they quickly shifted their target.

After making sure the Night Demons had left.

Chen Feng sat back on the ground. He didn't have much time to rest. Before it got dark, he had to replenish some energy.

The girl was placed on the side, her face somewhat pale due to the loss of blood.

Chen Feng couldn't take her with him. In this dangerous apocalypse, although she had escaped one crisis, there were dangers lurking in every corner outside.

She might die.

But this was the apocalypse.

Such things were as normal as can be.
