Chapter 126: The Second One
“This thing is undoubtedly a demon. Could it be that the Inspiration Pill I obtained before was just a coincidence?”
Zhou Chen felt that this was a big issue. The reason why he had come all the way here to fight demons was for the Inspiration Pill. If the Inspiration Pill did not drop, then he would have come for nothing.
“Maybe killing a demon only has a chance of dropping the Inspiration Pill. Or maybe this demon is not strong enough and has not met the requirements of dropping the Inspiration Pill.”
After some thought, Zhou Chen felt that he could not come to a conclusion too early. He still needed to kill more demons to confirm it.
“I will look for more demons. This might not be the only one in this forest.”
Zhou Chen took out the ax and chopped off the bird head from the demon’s broken corpse. He carried it and continued to search for other demons.
It was much easier for him to find demons than others. He only needed to pay attention to the feedback of the Bloodthirst passive skill.
His Bloodthirst passive skill could sense blood within a range of 300 meters from him. Its function was similar to that of a radar. It was very convenient.
Relying on his high-speed movements and this large-scale sensing ability, he found a second eagle demon after ten minutes. It looked similar to the one he had killed earlier, but its body was smaller. It might be the other party’s spouse.
When Zhou Chen found it, it was sitting on a tree branch and pecking a human head with its beak, eating it with relish.
“These demons like to kill and eat humans. No wonder it’s difficult for them to live with humans.”
As an outsider, Zhou Chen now understood why this unique species was treated as an enemy by the humans of this world.
Zhou Chen quietly approached the demon. When he approached within 50 meters of the demon, he suddenly exploded with speed. Together with the floating movement ability given by the Windrun skill, he punched the monster from behind.
After this punch, the monster’s outcome was similar to the previous one. Its body also scattered and fell within a few dozen meters. In order to not let his body be stained, he even activated the Shield for two seconds.
“Still nothing. What a headache.”
Zhou Chen still did not hear the system reward announcement that he was waiting for. Neither the Inspiration Pill nor the passive skill were obtained.
“I will kill some more demons. It’s best if I can encounter a few more powerful demons.”
Zhou Chen pondered while taking out the ax to cut the demon’s head off.
He could clearly sense that the two demons he had killed were relatively weak and were far inferior to the tiger demon he had killed in the beginning. This made him increasingly believe that only by killing those stronger demons could the Inspiration Pill drop.
Zhou Chen continued to search the forest, but he did not find any more demons. He only found a few broken human corpses. From their attire, he determined that they might be the demon slayers that had entered the mountain.
“These demon slayers should be newbies who lack strength and experience. Otherwise, they would not have lost their lives to such demons.”
Zhou Chen felt that he could fight ten demons, who had weak bodies and slow reactions, like the two eagle demons at once. It was indeed hard for any experienced warrior to die to these demons.
After Zhou Chen confirmed that there was nothing to gain in this forest, he was about to leave to search other areas when he encountered the young man, the fat youth, and the others.
When they saw Zhou Chen holding two demon heads, they couldn’t help but show surprised expressions.
“Brother Li, your speed at killing demons is really fast. We haven’t even seen the appearance of the demons, but you’ve already killed two.”
The fat youth patted his hand with the fan and smiled at Zhou Chen. It seemed like he was not unhappy that Zhou Chen left the team to kill the demons.
However, the short and burly youngster who claimed to be the number one expert was not happy. He directly said to Zhou Chen, “I don’t appreciate this! Why are you taking the benefits alone?”
The young man in the athletic clothes’ focus was different. He looked at Zhou Chen with a trace of admiration in his eyes.
“Young Master Li, I didn’t expect your lightness skill to be so good. The few of us could not catch up at all.”
“Brother, you flatter me.”
Zhou Chen first spoke humbly to the young man who he had known for the longest time. Then, he handed a demon head to him and swept his gaze across the other four.
“Everyone, I was too focused on killing the demons just now. As an apology, you can split the reward of this demon head equally.”
Zhou Chen felt that it was better not to leave a bad impression on these natives. Otherwise, if they found anything in the future, they might not share it with him.
Of course, the silver in this world was not too important to him. No matter what he bought in this world, he would not be able to take them away. It was enough as long as there was enough silver. There was no point in having more.
“That’s more like it! In our Wangjiagou, those who monopolize profits cannot make friends.”
Seeing that Zhou Chen had given up some benefits, the short youngster was immediately happy. He was excited about the additional two silver ingots.
“I want to familiarize myself with the environment here, so I am going to move alone. I’ll see you in the city tonight.”
Then, Zhou Chen officially bid farewell to them. He did not want to continue wandering around aimlessly and try his luck with these people. He planned to rely on his own methods to search for demons.
“Then Young Master Li, you have to be careful. We’ll wait for you at the inn tonight.”
The fat youth saw that Zhou Chen wanted to leave the team. His expression was still that of joy as he cupped his hands towards Zhou Chen.
“Goodbye!”
Zhou Chen also smiled and bid farewell to them before quickly disappearing into the forest.
“This Young Master Li’s lightness skill is so outstanding and his skills are also extraordinary. He can actually kill two eagle demons so quickly… Do you know what sect he comes from?”
As soon as Zhou Chen left, the fat youth asked the other four.
“I asked him before.” The young man quickly replied. “He said it’s a System or something Sect. I feel that it might be a hidden sect.”
While the five of them were still discussing Zhou Chen’s origins, Zhou Chen had already left the forest and entered the vast mountain range.
After walking for a while, he found a wild rabbit-like animal not far away. He walked over and asked about the demons.
Ever since he obtained the Beast King passive skill, such actions were already routine for him. When the beasts saw him, not only would they not attack or flee in panic, they would also provide him with information or do simple things.
“There are two flying demons nearby? They live in the forest over there? Little rabbit, didn’t you notice that the one I’m holding is one of them…”
After asking, Zhou Chen realized that he had gained nothing because the range of this rabbit’s activity was relatively small. The demons it knew were the two eagle demons that he had killed..
