Ten days have passed, and the number of cockroach demons active underground in Blue Sea City has reached an incredibly terrifying level.

If not for the primary activity area of the cockroach demons being the western suburbs warehouse, the concentration of demonic presence in Blue Sea City's air might have caused a widespread demonic transformation of small creatures.

Even though the demonic presence is primarily concentrated in the western suburbs warehouse, officially sealed with special methods to prevent it from spreading outside, there have still been reports of demon attacks on humans, livestock, and animals in Blue Sea City recently.

Some reports involve animals that became demonic after accidentally ingesting demonic cockroaches.

In the dim streets, several fully armed men and women wield roughly crafted weapons—iron pipes, steel bars picked up from construction sites, steel blade knives... Normally, if they dared to carry these on the streets, they would have been taken away for disciplinary action.

But now, nobody cares.

Liu Yujie walked at the forefront, holding a half-meter long fruit knife from his parents' fruit shop, which had long been banned from sale. His parents didn't throw it away; it was hidden at home where he found it.

He wore thick clothing and a sealed motorcycle helmet, his chest and back soaked with sweat. Glancing at his impatient companions behind him, Liu Yujie said, "Don't rush. Yesterday someone saw a demon here."

"As long as we kill a demon and eat its heart, we can gain immortality and power," Liu Yujie said excitedly.

"Hmm, so who gets the first heart?" Zhang Yang questioned.

They were all students from Blue Sea City's Blue Sea No. 3 High School, having seen videos of demon hunters online and witnessed their power and strong immortality, they were tempted and went out together to find traces of demons.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yujie's tone faltered, stammering, "Let's find the demon first, and maybe there isn't only one heart."

"Do you really want to eat such a thing? A heart that can still beat outside the body, it seems terrifying," the only girl in the team, Liu Yu, said uncertainly.

Bang! Bang bang bang~

Sounds of battle came from the street, and Liu Yujie quickly pulled the two to lean against the wall, cautiously leading the way to observe the situation outside.

On the street, two men wielding hollow steel pipes as thick as an arm were fighting a few bizarre-shaped beasts, whose features barely suggested they might be skinned dogs and cats.

Three dogs and one cat, the four demonic creatures leaped around the street, continually attacking the two men using hollow steel pipes as weapons. The two men appeared very relaxed facing the onslaught.

The leaping demon dog was effortlessly knocked down by a steel pipe wielded by one man, only to restore its severely deformed body shortly after, with no visible injuries apart from the bloodstains on the ground.

"Four demons, just two each."

"Better give them all to me, I feel like I'm about to break through level 2."

"Hmm? So quickly? After tallying, you've almost eaten ten demon hearts already, alright then, all for you, next time you'll have to help me hunt more."

"No problem."

After the discussion, one man suddenly accelerated, breaking away from the back-to-back defensive stance, swinging the steel pipe with all his strength at a demon dog, which leapt to dodge.

A gleam flashed in his black eyes, "You've fallen for it!"

The downward-swinging steel pipe instantly changed direction, sweeping horizontally to hit the leaping demon dog, crushing its body into a C-shape on the ground, temporarily losing the ability to move.

"Hurry up!" The other man swung a sensory tool weighing twenty to thirty pounds, blocking the other three demons, urging urgently.

"No need for you to push!" He replied casually, quickly running to the injured demon dog.

The demon dog saw the person running over, opened its bloody maw, intending to bite, but met an arm-thick hollow steel pipe, its head smashed into pulp.

"Hiss~" Liu Yujie caught the scene, taking a sharp breath, so bloody.

Then he witnessed a bloodier scene; the man directly reached into the demon dog's crushed chest, stirring it briefly, grabbed the demon dog's heart firmly, stepped on the demon's body hard, and pulled the heart out forcefully.

As the heart was gripped, the demon dog's struggles slowed, and as the heart was forcefully pulled out, the demon dog's body lost strength, leaving only a heart that would still beat.

Pa~ The heart was pulled from the demon dog's chest, and looking at the blood-stained heart, the man remained unfazed, opening his mouth to an extraordinary extent, exceeding 150 degrees, far beyond the normal human range.

The heart was directly stuffed into his mouth, without even chewing, his neck suddenly enlarged by a circle, sending the heart to his abdomen.

Several demon hearts crowded inside his body, occupying more than half the space, with excess organs already devoured by the demon hearts and transformed into nutrients; now, his body contained solely hearts.

Collect ten hearts of the same level demons to level up, gaining stronger power. This was the information circulated among the demon hunters.

He had consumed seven, and is three hearts away from obtaining stronger power and immortality.

"Finish eating and come over quickly!" The other man's arm and thigh were already bitten into a bloody mess, with a chunk of flesh missing from his buttocks, yet he showed no signs of panic or even pain.
