A series of killings were constantly being staged in the Twisted Forest.

All the Black Ant Ferocious Beasts encountered were torn apart and devoured by the Giant Ape. With ample energy for Devouring Evolution, its size grew larger and larger, 5.5 meters, 5.6 meters...

While hunting the Ferocious Beasts, the Black Giant Ape was also observing the 'environment' of the Twisted Forest.

The ground was barren of weeds, the soil was dry, cracked, and black, with no traces of life such as snakes, insects, rats, or ants.

These Black Ant Ferocious Beasts lived in small groups, with four or five in a nest. The Black Ant Ferocious Beast swarm encountered yesterday was an exception, probably because they were far from the forest.

These Ferocious Beasts also lived in burrows, dug next to the base of large trees, dark and deep, with no idea how deep they went, or if there were any eggs or cubs.

Boom! A Ferocious Beast more than three meters long was smashed against a tree trunk by a black fist, instantly shattering the bark and crushing its head.

Under the big tree stood the Black Giant Ape, its size increased to six and a half meters, its whole body stained with dark red blood, exuding a strong bloody smell.

Crack, crack, crack!!

The Giant Ape broke off the claws and limbs of the Black Ant Ferocious Beast and threw them away. These parts were composed of bones and keratinous fascia, and it didn't eat the head.

After breaking off the hands and feet, the Giant Ape grabbed the Ferocious Beast's body at both ends, its arm muscles swelled, and with a burst of powerful force, it directly tore the Ferocious Beast in half.

Whoosh! The Ferocious Beast's internal organs mixed with blood splattered all over the ground, some splashing on the Giant Ape.

Shaking off the Ferocious Beast's corpse to get rid of some of the unpleasant liquid, the Black Giant Ape put it in its mouth and began to eat, blood foam and meat scraps flowing down the corners of its mouth as it chewed.

This kind of Ferocious Beast was said to be more than three meters long, but its body was narrow and there wasn't much meat. It was quickly eaten by the Black Giant Ape.

Hoo hoo!! The Black Giant Ape exhaled bloody hot air from its mouth, slowly looking towards the depths of the forest, its eyes narrow and dark red, appearing strange and fierce.

It had been half a day since it entered around nine o'clock.

During this time, the Black Giant Ape was 'cautious', hunting Black Ant Ferocious Beasts along the edge of the left side of the forest, killing more than fifty along the way.

The distance traveled was about twenty kilometers, but the depth was less than two kilometers.

But now it could no longer move forward. The earth was torn apart by a huge abyss-like crack, bottomless, unable to see the other side, and not knowing how long it was.

Now the Black Giant Ape could either leave and go back, or go deep into the forest to see if it could kill stronger monsters.

But after only a slight hesitation, the Black Giant Ape chose to turn around and leave.

Its strength was not very strong now, so there was no need to enter the depths of the forest too early, especially since it had sensed dangerous auras from the depths of the forest several times before.

On the ground, the Black Giant Ape ran along the outer edge of the forest, its speed was very fast, and sometimes it would use both hands and feet when encountering hills blocking its path.

Soon the Black Giant Ape reached the place where it had entered.

It was still cautious and looked around first. There was no one and no monsters. Only then did the Black Giant Ape take out the clothes from under the crack in the stone...

Back in the real world, Jiang Hou opened his phone and looked at the time, four o'clock in the morning.

Although there was no signal in the Ruins, it did not affect the time on the phone software.

At this time, Qin Siyu was sleeping soundly, the house was dark inside and out, the whole community was quiet, and the roar of a truck engine could be faintly heard in the distance.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere stands in stark contrast to the dangerous and oppressive feeling of the Ruins.

After calming himself, Jiang Hou gently opened the door and went to the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of the showerhead pattered as it washed away the dark red bloodstains on Jiang Hou's body, making him look like a homicidal maniac who had just returned from a killing spree.

In the bathroom, Jiang Hou washed his body while mentally summoning his stats page.

Name: Jiang Hou

Strength: 29→61
Agility: 18→35
Defense: 13→22
Inheritance Seal: [When the night falls, it can guide the power of inheritance in and out of the Ruins]

Ferocious Beast Form

Bloodline: Gibbon Ape [Ordinary Ferocious Beast, current size 6.5 meters]

Talent: Wrathful Roar [Fury ignites the blood, stimulating the power hidden in the bloodline, increasing current strength by four times and certain other attribute values]

Unique Talent: Devouring Evolution

Evolution Points: 19/100

Because they were one and the same, the growth of the Ferocious Beast form was also reflected in the human form, with all attributes greatly improved. Jiang Hou nodded in satisfaction, "With my current strength, if I were to work as a construction worker, I feel like my monthly salary would be at least twenty thousand."

Of course, he would never work as a construction worker.

Then, Jiang Hou's gaze swept over the Agility and Defense attributes below, and he frowned slightly.

As the Gibbon Ape grew, the gap between Strength and the other two attributes widened. It was similar to the Gibbon Ape's 'every level up, base Strength +4, Agility +2, Defense +1'.

Clearly, the Gibbon Ape was the type that emphasized Strength, with medium Agility and low Defense.

In addition to this, Jiang Hou noticed that the notes behind the Ferocious Beast Talent had also changed, with the increase in the Wrathful Roar state changing from five times Strength to four times.

Obviously, the increase from this bloodline talent was not a fixed value, but had a certain upper limit, and would weaken bit by bit as the base strength increased.

This made Jiang Hou feel a little regretful.

Fortunately, the growth of the Evolution Value at the bottom was good news, already accumulating one-fifth.

After taking a shower, Jiang Hou got dressed and returned to his room.

The familiar environment relaxed his body and mind, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. The mental stress from the high-intensity killing of the night was still a bit much.

"Jiang Hou, get up quickly, you're going to be late."

In the morning, Qin Siyu's knock woke Jiang Hou up.

In the living room, when Jiang Hou came out after washing up, Qin Siyu had already finished breakfast and was stuffing some things into her schoolbag, humming a song.

"Did you find money when you bought breakfast this morning? You're in such a good mood." Jiang Hou smiled and walked over.

The girl flicked her ponytail and said in a light tone, "No one carries cash these days, where would I find money? I'm in a good mood because my classmate and I are preparing to film a video."

"Film a video?" Jiang Hou was taken aback.

"Yes, we're preparing to film some videos of high school girls' campus life. I'm in charge of video editing and copywriting, and Rou Rou will be the main character in the videos."

Jiang Hou raised an eyebrow, "You want to run a video channel."

"Yes, we'll film videos to accumulate fans first, and once we have a lot of followers, we can make money by running small ads." Speaking of making money, Qin Siyu's eyes lit up slightly.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. I need to get to school early today. Jiang Hou, remember to clean up the kitchen after you're done eating."

After saying that, Qin Siyu waved to Jiang Hou, hummed a song, and opened the door to leave.

Technological advancements have brought about the subversion of various models, especially the rise of short video websites, which has amplified the scale of online live streaming and online sales.

And this industry has no barriers to entry.

Whether it's an uneducated elderly person from the countryside or a newborn baby, they can attract fans through short videos and then convert them into money.

Young people, needless to say, can live stream or sell goods regardless of whether they have a skill or not.

Jiang Hou had previously come across a sleep-streaming broadcast, where a beautiful woman with beauty filters on was sleeping in her clothes, doing nothing and saying nothing, yet thousands of people were watching.

And people would occasionally send gifts.

At the time, Jiang Hou thought these people had peculiar thought processes, getting excited watching others sleep and even sending gifts.

As for why Jiang Hou came across these videos, well, that's not important.
