Slaying Demons and Taking Bones

Lin Lan watched the One-Eyed Demon Wolf approach. Once it got a little closer, he planned to strike directly. His gaze was solemn as Lightning Element Star Seeds lit up one by one in his hand.

As the One-Eyed Demon Wolf walked along, it began extending its nose to sniff the air, as though it had caught the scent of humans.

When the One-Eyed Demon Wolf came within nearly fifty meters, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot toward it.

"Sky Flash~Lightning Seal~Python Mark."

With a flick of Lin Lan's hand, lightning crashed down. The bolt shot from his palm, filling the One-Eyed Demon Wolf's blood-red eyes before it had any chance to dodge.

"Awooo!"

The One-Eyed Demon Wolf convulsed all over from the shock and let out a pained howl, but it was useless. It toppled headfirst to the ground, black smoke rising from its body.

Those who had been struck by lightning knew what it felt like. No, wait—there probably weren't any friends left after being struck by lightning.

Those who had been electrocuted knew that electricity passing through the human body could paralyze the entire body and cause additional damage. Put simply, electricity dealt true damage. It could fry straight through the internal organs and take a life on the spot.

The One-Eyed Demon Wolf was in roughly that state now—charred on the outside and tender within. Its entire body was blackened, and not a patch of fur remained intact, though it was not quite dead and still clung to its last breath.

Lin Lan emerged from the woods, silver-white Star Seeds under his control in his hand.

"Awooo!"

Another, much larger One-Eyed Demon Wolf let out a furious roar. Its scarlet gaze was fixed entirely on Lin Lan.

In the demon beast hierarchy, the larger ones were generally females. They ate more and did less, only needing to bear young while the male demon beasts supported them.

"Mind Control~Phantom Claw."

With a single use of Mind Control from Lin Lan, the badly wounded One-Eyed Demon Wolf immediately breathed its last.

"Boom, boom!"

The female One-Eyed Demon Wolf pounced at him with incredible speed, like a car racing toward him at 120 kilometers per hour.

Lin Lan's pupils shifted slightly, silver light shining in his eyes.

"Phasing."

The One-Eyed Demon Wolf pounced into empty air. Its claws swung wildly, yet they could not strike Lin Lan's body.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The air was filled with the sound of the One-Eyed Demon Wolf's claws slicing through it. Seeing that its claws were useless, it opened its bloody jaws and bit down at Lin Lan's head.

"Sky Flash~Lightning Seal~Python Mark."

Seeing this, Lin Lan stopped indulging it. Lightning poured straight into the One-Eyed Demon Wolf's mouth.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle!"

"Awooo!"

The One-Eyed Demon Wolf's mouth exploded, and it let out a heart-wrenching cry. A huge hole had been blasted through its mouth as the lightning flowed into its body, frying even its heart.

Seeing the One-Eyed Demon Wolf in that state, Lin Lan figured it was more than likely doomed. He let it wait there for death so he could collect the corpse later.

There were no problems with my first demon hunt. I killed a pair of demon beasts.

My mental fortitude is pretty strong. Then again, with Phasing, killing these two beasts was easy.

As he spoke, Lin Lan took out the knife he had prepared and walked toward one of the One-Eyed Demon Wolves.

After two and a half hours, he finally removed all the valuable bones.

"Phew... Time to head back. There are plenty of demon beasts out there. I can kill them slowly."

Lin Lan packed up the fangs and claws, storing them in Spatial Storage. Then he got up and prepared to return. He had no plans to kill any more today; steady progress was the way to go.

After entering Bocheng, Lin Lan called his client.

"Hello, Wang Dafu? This is Lin Lan. I've obtained the One-Eyed Demon Wolf fangs and claws you wanted."

"I'm heading to the Bocheng Demon Hunting Hall now. Come over yourself!"

"Alright, alright! I'll be right there!"

Lin Lan looked relaxed, his tone calm. The money was already on its way, so there was no need to hurry.

He then went downtown and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, the Demon Hunting Hall."

After saying that to the taxi driver, Lin Lan closed his eyes and entered his spiritual world. He could sense that his Lightning Element Star Seeds were somewhat restless.

"Hello, hello, you must be Mr. Lin Lan! I'm Wang Dafu, a demon beast merchant."

"Young and accomplished indeed! Your efficiency is incredible. You only accepted the bounty a few hours ago, and you've already finished it, hahaha!"

Lin Lan was still waiting in the Demon Hunting Hall, wearing only a mask this time. A chubby man walked toward him from a distance, smiling broadly. He had a small scar by his right eye and spoke as he approached Lin Lan.

When Wang Dafu saw Lin Lan, his tone was excited, and his eyes were full of admiration and appreciation. He smiled happily. He had seen the pile of demon beast bones beside Lin Lan and only then confirmed that this was the right person.

"It was nothing much. Everything you wanted is on the ground. Take a look. If there's no problem, transfer the money to this card."

Lin Lan spoke calmly, one brow slightly raised and a faint smile on his lips.

"No need to look, no need to look. Mr. Lin, if we trade again next time, I'll give you an extra ten percent."

Wang Dafu naturally understood that someone like this had to be befriended, so his tone was extremely ingratiating.

After all, a normal demon-hunting team would need at least four days to complete a task like this. Yet this had only taken a few hours—clearly, Lin Lan's team was powerful and highly efficient.

It was also impossible that he had killed them earlier and only come to sell them now. Wang Dafu was shrewd. Just now, he had glimpsed fresh blood on the fangs.

"Fine. If I have more of these in the future, I'll come to you to sell them."

"Great, great! That's wonderful."

Hearing Lin Lan agree, Wang Dafu immediately put on a fawning expression before going to transfer the money.

Bank card deposit: 300000

Lin Lan had not gone far when he checked his phone and found that the money had already arrived. Wang Dafu had even given him an extra twenty thousand.

Wang Dafu is pretty clever. No wonder he's in business.

Lin Lan smiled and went home. As soon as he returned, he began controlling his Star Seeds and meditating.

The Lightning Element Star Seeds within his Lightning Element Stardust began to stir. He believed that before long, he would successfully enter the second level.
