Coming to a place like this alone really was a little nerve-racking. If someone was surrounded by demonic beasts, they would have a nine-in-ten chance of dying; even if they survived, they would lose a layer of skin. But none of that applied to a freak like Lin Fan.
He paid no heed to the outermost area and continued deeper inside.
An Azure Wolf pack.
Lin Fan let them off outright. There were only a pitiful few dozen Azure Wolves, and he had no interest in attacking them. He had wiped out a whole pack last time; he had to give them a chance to catch their breath and grow.
Roar!
Once he had ventured a certain distance inside, the roars of demonic beasts grew increasingly frequent, ringing out as loudly as thunder.
Just listening to those cries, he knew that anything capable of roaring with such force certainly was no ordinary demonic beast.
Lin Fan swaggered along. The trees around him grew thicker, and the dampness gradually increased.
Just then, his eyes lit up. He hid behind a huge boulder. A group of demonic beasts had appeared in the clearing ahead.
Spine-Horned Eagles!
They resembled ordinary eagles, with long white horns on their heads that looked like human spines. Their four hooves were sharp and slender, and their long, thin tails forked at the ends, with sharp teeth that could snap shut in an instant.
Among demonic beasts below the Earthly Dipper Realm, these were a particularly troublesome kind.
They were generally around the sixth or seventh level of Body Tempering, though some reached the eighth level of Body Tempering.
Sect disciples who encountered these demonic beasts really would not dare provoke them if their strength was evenly matched.
These demonic beasts were fast, and every part of their bodies could be used to attack. Their tail tips, in particular, were almost impossible to guard against. If they snapped shut on someone, they could bite their body to pieces.
"Impressive." Lin Fan grinned and counted them. There were nearly twenty. Killing them all would definitely net him a tidy profit.
Hiding behind the boulder, he took out his grenades without hesitation, pulled the pins, and threw them straight in.
One after another, without hesitation. He would blow up a bunch first and worry about the rest later.
The resting Spine-Horned Eagles reacted immediately to the noise and looked around. When they saw the round objects rolling toward them, the demonic beasts were puzzled, not knowing what these things were.
One Spine-Horned Eagle thought it was food, opened its mouth, and swallowed a grenade.
Expecting demonic beasts below the Earthly Dipper Realm to have any intelligence was simply dreaming.
"Ah, you really can't complain about dying." Seeing this, Lin Fan had nothing more to say. You even dared swallow my grenade. I have no idea where you found the courage.
He silently counted seven seconds.
Boom!
The grenades exploded instantly.
Points +60. Points +70. Points +60.
Lin Fan leaned against the boulder and closed his eyes slightly. Listening to the explosions, he did not even want to speak. His heart was filled with sorrow.
All things in this world are equal. You have the right to live, but there's nothing I can do. If you don't die, I will.
I hope you can become humans in your next lives. Don't be demonic beasts again.
Prayer over.
Lin Fan took the wolf-fang club from his storage ring. With an overbearing expression, he leaped out from behind the boulder. "Kill..."
At the center of the explosions, the Spine-Horned Eagle King stared at everything, dumbfounded.
Even now, it had not worked out what had happened to its underlings. Why had they suddenly exploded?
Boom!
An explosion rang out to its left.
The Spine-Horned Eagle King whipped its head around. An underling that had been perfectly fine a moment earlier vanished instantly.
What was going on? It had not even seen an enemy. How had they all disappeared?
"Kill!"
Suddenly, it heard a human voice. Ahead, a human was charging at it with a huge weapon raised. The Spine-Horned Eagle King was furious. With a roar, it lunged at him.
"Trash!" Lin Fan had not expected the Spine-Horned Eagle King to be so lucky. Not one of all those grenades had hit it, and he still had to finish it off himself.
Violent Wolf-Fang Club erupted with unparalleled power.
Though the Spine-Horned Eagle King was powerful, it was not made of iron. One blow slammed down, and it burst apart instantly.
Points +80.
Refreshing.
He checked his Points. They had already reached 1,690.
A flawless victory in his first battle, a blazing start.
At this moment, Lin Fan was brimming with confidence about what came next. There was no shortage of demonic beasts here. As long as he kept working hard, becoming a Points big shot was only a matter of time.
Some demonic beast pelts were worth a little money, but these beasts were simply too weak to catch his eye anymore.
Only higher-end demonic beasts might catch his eye.
Without further ado, he continued searching for demonic beasts and bombing them outright.
During this time, explosions rang out throughout Rosy Cloud Forest. Hearing those blasts, the low-level demonic beasts scattered in terror.
"Who else?"
Lin Fan walked through the forest with the wolf-fang club over his shoulder. He felt he had become a walking king of explosions. Wherever there were demonic beasts, he would be there.
The demonic beasts below the Earthly Dipper Realm had been bombed into a breakdown and fled in all directions.
Though these demonic beasts were numerous, they would never measure up against grenades. If one was not enough, he would use two. He refused to believe he could not deal with them.
He checked his Points. They had already reached 6,000.
He was very satisfied with this haul. It was not that he was slacking off, but demonic beasts all had territories. Within the vast Rosy Cloud Forest, their territories were tiny, yet crossing between areas still took Lin Fan some time.
As for the powerful demonic beasts deep inside, he had no designs on them for now.
Encountering an Earthly Dipper Realm demonic beast would be rather troublesome.
Besides, in terms of returns, they were not as cost-effective as these demonic beasts.
At that moment, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in a pitch-black cave near the depths of Rosy Cloud Forest.
Those blood-red eyes were like rubies, dazzling in the pitch-black cave.
Roar!
A furious roar burst from the cave, its powerful sound waves destroying everything around it.
It had been sleeping, but those piercing noises had woken it completely.
BOOM!
BOOM!
The noises enraged it. Just who was making these unbearable sounds near its territory?
It would crush the culprit mercilessly.
At the cave entrance, a huge figure crawled out, then straightened up, giving off a terrifying presence.
"Ah, demonic beasts, where are you?" Lin Fan was feeling very pleased with himself, his heart brimming with delight. Life felt truly wonderful.
Watching his Points shoot up gave him an indescribable thrill.
In any case, he still had plenty of grenades. He certainly had to use them all before heading back.
Roar!
Suddenly, an immense, furious roar resounded through heaven and earth, shaking leaves from the towering ancient trees in a rustling shower.
Lin Fan covered his ears.
"Holy shit! What kind of demonic beast made that sound? Just its voice alone had that much power. That's way too terrifying." Lin Fan marveled inwardly.
Can't mess with that! Definitely can't mess with that!
His plan was to pick on the little ones. As for the big ones, he would leave them for later.
"Huh, the sky seems to have gone dark." Just then, Lin Fan noticed that a shadow seemed to have enveloped him, and it was growing larger and larger.
When he looked up, he was utterly dumbfounded and roared.
"Holy shit! Where did such a huge monkey come from?"
The Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was a powerful demonic beast above the Earthly Dipper Realm, a descendant of the Ancient Ferocious Ape. With boundless strength and a bloodthirsty nature, it was among the most difficult demonic beasts to deal with.
Boom!
A gigantic beast palm blotted out the sky and sun, engulfing Lin Fan in an instant as it fell straight down and slammed heavily into the ground. The entire earth shook. The ground around Lin Fan cracked instantly, dense fractures spreading like a spiderweb.
Before Lin Fan could react at all, the enormous palm engulfed him.
Splat!
A mass of blood stained the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape's palm red.
Lin Fan, dead!
