My supernatural profession is too unique.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi drove out of the city and arrived at the port area on the outskirts.

The mighty West River, like a silver dragon, meanders eastward.

Xijiang Port was built on the inner bay where the Xijiang River is recessed.

The black iron breakwaters, stretching for miles, form an impregnable wall, keeping the rushing river water out.

Inside the harbor, the water was as smooth as a mirror, extremely calm.

Hundreds of spirit boats of varying sizes were moored there.

These spirit boats are made of different materials; some are made of black iron, some of spirit wood, and some are even made of the bones of demonic beasts.

However, their surfaces are engraved with various mysterious runes.

"Sir, thank you for your help. How much will it cost?"

After entering the port, the taxi drove along the port avenue and eventually stopped outside Warehouse No. 6.

This is a large warehouse, and it looks extremely spacious from the outside.

Compared to the bustling scene at the port, this place is relatively quiet.

"Fifteen yuan."

The driver said in a low voice.

After paying the fare, Li Ling got off the bus.

Just now, inside the car, he saw the corpse cultivator park the car and then enter the warehouse.

The driver hurriedly drove away.

A strong wind blew in.

A damp river breeze carrying the smell of fish wafted over, and Li Ling's eyes flashed as he saw a murderous aura surging within the warehouse.

He frowned. "There's definitely something wrong with this warehouse."

He took out his jade phone and sent a message to Yang Wenping.

"We just discovered a suspicious corpse cultivator. Follow the suspect to Xijiang Port. If I don't contact you within half an hour, immediately request support from the headquarters."

"Brother Ling, don't take the risk alone."

Yang Wenping quickly replied.

"I will proceed with caution."

Li Ling replied.

The Kitchen God's Eyes can detect danger in time, and if it is impossible to do, he will naturally not take the risk.

Of course, investigating this corpse cultivator is also related to He Xiu's mission, and it would be best if she could complete it independently and obtain first-hand information.

Although the corpse cultivator was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, under the observation of the [Eye of the Stove Official], he felt that he might not necessarily suffer a loss.

After all, the fire in the stove is extremely strong and yang, which is the nemesis of the corpse demon.

Moreover, he has the [Corpse Collector] class to assist him, so even if he is attacked by the Corpse Fiend, he can withstand it.

However, we must not let our guard down.

The warehouse reeks of death; there are probably quite a few zombies inside.

Moreover, this person also had a strange corpse worm on his body.

With their own stove fire, they might not be able to defeat this corpse worm.

Therefore, it is also necessary to rely on the spiritual power of the Kitchen God statue.

This is also his biggest asset at present.

However, with only three strands of spiritual energy, one can only unleash the divine statue's spiritual attack once, so it is essential to ensure a fatal blow.

With this in mind, Li Ling cautiously walked towards the warehouse.

Because of the police uniform he was wearing, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Upon exiting the warehouse, an indescribable stench of decay became increasingly pronounced.

If it weren't for a person with a keen sense of smell, they would likely not be able to detect it.

He immediately recognized the smell as the aura of a corpse, and his expression darkened.

The smell of death indicates that there are three zombies inside.

At this moment, he was having second thoughts.

Such strength is beyond his ability to overcome.

But this is a rare opportunity, and it would be a real shame to miss it.

Considering that the [Kitchen Official/Police Officer]'s favorability is only 20, we need to increase it as soon as possible.

After careful consideration, Li Ling steeled himself and went into the warehouse.

These zombies are powerful, but they have one obvious weakness: they are slow.

If you really can't hold on any longer, you can use your police uniform to activate a flight array and escape.

[Kitchen Official/Police Officer] Favorability +1 (Appreciation for your willingness to take risks)

A notification appeared on the panel, but Li Ling didn't pay attention to it at the moment.

Upon entering the warehouse, one is greeted by a spacious area of ​​four or five hundred square meters, with some shelves stacked on both sides.

The malevolent aura around them intensified.

Even with the buff of the [Strongman] class and his blood boiling, he still felt incredibly cold.

The air was thick with the stench of death, and the chilling cold was biting.

"Kid, you've got guts, following me all this way."

A sinister voice suddenly rang out.

A figure emerged from the container on the right.

It was the corpse cultivator that Li Ling had been tracking.

However, this person's face was gloomy and his eyes were deathly still, like a bloodthirsty zombie.

"The police officers from the local police station are handling a case. Please come with me to the station for questioning."

Li Ling said calmly.

"I'm curious, how did you see through me?"

The man stared at Li Ling with a gloomy gaze, his tone revealing a hint of curiosity.

He used a secret technique to conceal his aura, which even a Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to see through.

But this first-level police officer in front of him, whose cultivation level was not high, was able to see through his secret technique.

This surprised him somewhat.

"You wicked scoundrel, why don't you surrender obediently?"

Li Ling snorted coldly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he turned to leave. The corpse cultivator's fearlessness made him feel that the risk was too great.

It's safer to wait for reinforcements.

"It's too late to leave."

As the corpse cultivator's chilling voice faded, Li Ling suddenly heard a piercing buzzing sound, as if it originated from his sea of ​​consciousness.

It sent chills down his spine, making him feel as if his soul was being bitten by something strange.

In a daze, it seemed as if bloodworms were breeding in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, he saw a black worm fly out of the corpse cultivator's mouth.

His blood-red eyes held an eerie quality, as if a crimson light was spreading towards him.

It also emits a strange, insect-like cry that sends chills down one's spine.

The next second, from within the crimson light, countless blood worms flew out and pounced straight at him.

"Bloodthirsty corpse worms."

Li Ling's gaze darkened.

With the help of the Kitchen God's Eye, he was able to see through the fact that these flying "blood worms" were actually the blood energy emitted by corpse worms.

Once it gets on your skin, it will parasitize your body.

They absorb essence and blood, and grow into new corpse worms.

Those who are possessed become zombies.

That is, what happened to Xu Dehui.

As the bloodworms swarmed towards him, Li Ling knew that retreating was no longer an option, and he let out a furious shout.

The spiritual energy within his body surged.

With fingers forming a hand seal, the fire in the stove condenses accordingly.

A ball of flame engulfed the flying bloodworms.

At this moment, flames flickered around him, as if he had become a kitchen god.

The bloodworms were burned to ashes and scattered.

However, as blood spurted from the mouths of the corpse worms, another swarm of blood worms flew over.

Li Ling made a series of hand seals, and the flames swept across like a giant sword, instantly engulfing the bloodworms.

The bloodworms were instantly engulfed by the flames and burned to ashes.

"What?"

Upon seeing this, the corpse cultivator looked surprised.

The other party was actually a [Kitchen Official] cultivator; no wonder he dared to follow him alone.

He immediately recited the incantation, and the next second, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which shot directly into the mouth of the corpse worm.

Instantly, the corpse worm, originally the size of a fist, burst forth with bloody light, its body swelling to the size of two palms.

It appeared even more ferocious and terrifying.

Having witnessed the effect just now, Li Ling felt much more confident and had no fear whatsoever.

He chanted the incantation, "The fire of the divine stove flows, the stove official is ever present, please reside in my heart's lake..."

The image of the Kitchen God condensed in his sea of ​​consciousness, flashing with spiritual light, and the fire in his hand increased greatly.
