This unique smell of blood was not caused by killing too many people and the blood could not be cleansed, but came from the other party's own scent — the scent of "tainted blood" that only hunters had!
In the vision of Vincent's Eye of the Moon, the other party was like a furnace of blood. The boiling, scalding, and highly invasive blood surged in the container, letting out a roar that sounded like a roar. It was filled with a terrifying threat. It was like a beast in human form, making one's hair stand on end.
"Danger! Danger! Danger! "
Vincent's instincts were frantically warning him. He felt like he was a prey that had been targeted in the forest, and the survival instinct that was engraved in his genes had been awakened.
The priest stood stiffly on the spot, his throat feeling like it was being choked. He had difficulty breathing and felt dizzy.
He instantly realized that the side effects of the Holy Moon Brain that he had suppressed due to the shock had appeared again, and it was even more serious. His arms were covered in goosebumps.
Vincent's heart was filled with despair, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
He seemed to have left in a hurry … and left his holy emblem in the bookstore!
As a non-combatant priest, he did not have a medium to strengthen communication. The other party's level was higher than his, and she was a hunter known for her madness. The battle had not even started, but it seemed to have ended.
Vincent panicked for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he still had an item that could be used as a medium.
It was the "Holy Scripture of the Sun" that he had just obtained from the bookstore! He remembered the website: m.9biquge.com.
Although this was not the medium of the orthodox church, the holy emblem resonated with it, proving that the two were of the same origin. Moreover, the holy emblem had shown submission to it, so it might work.
Vincent clenched his teeth and gripped the book in his hand, preparing to inject the Holy Power of the Moon.
"Don't be so nervous, priest."
At this moment, the man on the other side chuckled hoarsely and walked over, but not toward him, but toward the bookstore. "I don't have any hostility. I'm just a little curious about the new customer. As a customer of the bookstore, we should get along well. Otherwise, Mr. Lin will be unhappy."
A … customer of the bookstore?
Other customers?!
Vincent was stunned. The other party had already walked past him, and he could vaguely see that she was holding two books and a box in her hands. The sound of her cane hitting the ground was very crisp.
"The books are not bad. Seems like Mr. Lin thinks highly of you."
This was the only sentence that came from the wind.
Vincent came back to his senses. It turned out that he had unknowingly injected his divine power into the book.
The Holy Scripture of Sun was emitting a dazzling light that others could not see in the vision of the Eye of the Moon. The warm power passed from his hand to his body, calming the abnormal state on his body and spontaneously forming a white barrier of light.
Was it really possible?!
Vincent's expression was complicated as he retracted his divine power. The light on the book dimmed, and the barrier disappeared.
This time, he was truly using his own body to feel the connection between the two …
He was stunned for a moment and looked back at the blurry figure in the bookstore. He hesitated for a moment and felt that it would be too embarrassing if he went back and said that he had left the holy emblem behind.
He didn't think too much about it before, but there must be many other customers like him in this bookstore. Now that he was a hunter, then there might be wizards, knights, or even people from other forces.
It seemed to be very easy for the bookstore owner to manipulate some things.
"Forget it, I'll get it the next time I come. Anyway, there are no missions apart from this one. I've decided to take a break before this."
Vincent comforted himself as he put the Holy Scripture of Sun into his priest robe and went to the music store next door.

Ji Zhixu did not care much about this little episode. She pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in.
Although she was curious about what this priest of the Dome Church experienced in the bookstore, his strength was too weak, and his reaction when he saw her was like a scared mouse.
Other than the book in his hand, he seemed to be just an ordinary priest of the Dome Church.
She quickly lost interest in it.
Perhaps the owner of the bookstore had the intention of training this priest, just like she did in the past.
But now, Ji Zhi Xu was busy trying to gain a foothold for her forces as quickly as possible. The Dome Church was of no help to her, not to mention a priest who was only at the Abnormal level.
But during this process, she felt the same feeling Wang Erde had when he met her at the entrance of the bookstore. There was a strange sense of evil.
They were originally unrelated people, but because they became customers of the bookstore, there was a subtle connection.
As someone who had experienced it before, it was inevitable that she would feel like a senior to this new customer.
"Maybe … I can call him a 'book friend'?"
Ji Zhixu joked in her heart.
Lin Jie was picking up the holy emblem on the counter when he looked up and saw a familiar figure walking in. He showed a surprised smile and greeted, "Eh? Miss Ji, long time no see. Have you finished reading the books? "
"Mister Lin, long time no see."
Ji Zhixu nodded respectfully and handed over the two books in her hand — Blood and Beasts and Iron Will.
"Although there is still a long way to go before I can understand everything, with my current level, it is too difficult to understand everything. Plus, the one-month borrowing period is up, so I might as well return the books first."
Ji Zhixu carefully said, "Can I borrow these two books later?"
Who wouldn't be happy to have a returning customer?
Lin Jie smiled and nodded. "This is very good. Don't bite off more than you can chew. If you can master these two books and understand everything in them, it will be a great benefit for you. It will benefit you for the rest of your life. Many people read a lot of books in their lives, but in reality, they don't understand anything."
Ji Zhixu nodded and agreed.
She only had a preliminary understanding of the two books, and now she was almost at Annihilation class. If she could master them completely, it was hard to imagine what kind of level she could reach.
Ji Zhixu looked inside the bookstore. Since the incident with the magic mirror egg not long ago, this was the first time she had returned here after a few days.
The bookstore had not changed much. The only difference was that there was a young girl beside Lin Jie.
After Lin Jie took the books, he did not register them himself. Instead, he gave them to the girl and said to Ji Zhixu, "Mo En, my new assistant."
Assistant?
Ji Zhixu looked at the girl and narrowed her eyes. Her aura was very special … It was not like a human. Instead, it was like a cold steel plastic product.
She nodded and said to Mo En, "Hello."
Mo En also nodded. "Hello."
Ji Zhixu turned her head and put the box in her hand on the counter. She said in a low voice, "Mr. Lin, I have completed my revenge. Thank you very much for your guidance, but there are still some problems that need to be dealt with … I want to ask for your help to open this box."
Lin Jie's eyes fell on the square brass box with all kinds of strange patterns engraved on it.
She finally relied on her own determination to take revenge on the scumbag?
This box was a problem in the future?
Could it be that there was a love token inside? Or maybe it was a photo or something like that?
"Is this what he left behind?"
Lin Jie asked as he moved the box closer to observe.
