Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!
Chapter 355 - 355: Opportunities Coexist With Danger.

In an instant, after hearing the other party's words, Leo immediately felt wary inside his heart, falling into extreme silence as he readied himself to manipulate his soul power to shake off the other party from his body if its explanation didn't satisfy him.

"So what is the catch? What are the drawbacks?" Fully knowing well that there's no free meal in this world, Leo inquired with a cold tone.

His gray irises, flickering with cold lights — activating both his soul scan ability and yin-yang eyes to their full capabilities to ensure that he would catch anything amiss — gazed at the specific part of his body with great intensity.

"Does danger count as a drawback? Although with my help, getting that opportunity still wouldn't be that easy, at least you would suffer agony beyond your imagination.

"Besides that, increasing your realm in a short period of time would weaken your control over your strength, making you weak compared to your peers..."

Oblivious to Leo's wary thoughts, the soul parasite began mumbling to Leo's mind endlessly, making Leo's eyelids twitch in annoyance as he didn't have a choice but to cut off the other party.

Although listening to the other party's unceasing words benefits him greatly, filling his database and making his horizon wide, the nascent soul beasts around wouldn't allow him to sit by and expand his knowledge patiently... In fact, they couldn't even wait to skin him alive and send him to the afterlife.

Moreover, the fleeing horror points around, especially those fat beasts who were waiting for him to absorb their fear and agony, wouldn't wait for him to enhance his basic knowledge first...

Right?

"In addition to that."

With the million horror points in sight, probably allowing him to unlock the next feature of the system, Leo couldn't afford to sit by and relax.

He needed to work/kill extra hard in order to increase his strength as soon as possible!

Although he had no idea why, a premonition of danger, coming from who knows, began to appear deep within his soul, giving him a palpable illusion that if he didn't do anything, death would be certain.

"I see, please lead the way, senior."

Despite his wariness, Leo still asked the soul parasite deep within him about the location of the opportunity it spoke of, clearly tempted by how the other party could increase his realm in a short period of time.

"Hmm, just don't regret your choice later. Go to the extreme North; you will see a mountain covered in dense rules there..."

***

At the same time, while Leo was heading toward the extreme north of the independent world...

Around the ancient building that was releasing a pressure that caused the beasts nearby to instinctively avoid the place — a beast with horns that were pointed toward the sky and hooves that shone with metallic glint could be seen floating within the atmosphere while staring at the pieces of flesh scattered around the ground in pure silence.

Its body, enveloped by a gentle glow of red, akin to crimson blood, silently descended toward the ground, scanning the blood splattered nearby before setting its sight toward the short distance.

There, a reddish-black blood that didn't belong to either human or beast was silently corroding the earth beneath, making his eyes shine lightly as he unhurriedly approached it, touching and inspecting its corrosive properties for a while before consuming it... Making its tongue burn as a cold smile soon appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Hehe, so that's why! No wonder I couldn't find him — he has the scent of a demon! I wonder what would happen if I let the devil know this; they surely would lose their mind..."

Laughing maniacally to himself, seemingly finding something spectacular, the bison beast then took out a jade bottle from his ring — hiding the blood sample of the suspected demon withis — before rushing toward the edges of this independent world, toward the cave where the acting commander was located, planning to use the blood he had just collected to force those devils to enter this place, hastening the speed of reaping the lives of those ignorant humans.

"Killing humans as much as possible, ensuring that there would be no trouble when we were destroying the formation protecting their world.'

"Here it is: reach the top of the mountain in 2 days without being affected by the complete rules lingering around, or else you will be trapped within.

"Moreover, the mountain was also filled with beasts who hadn't awakened their spirituality... Avoid them if possible since they would attack anyone in sight, even in exchange for their life.

"Oh right, you might be unaware of what unawakened beasts are. Basically, they were beasts who hadn't developed their intelligence yet could increase their cultivation realm by consuming things rich in spiritual qi... Although they lack intelligence, their instinct was surely above those who have one, so be careful."

Hearing the soul parasite's weary voice, Leo couldn't help but helplessly stare at the towering mountain, shrouded in dense fog in front of him, with the occasional sound of roaring coming from its depths in pure disbelief — unable to understand how he would reach its peak in just two days.

Heck, he even believed that if he was given another day, it would still be impossible to reach the peak.

"Are you sure I could reach its peak in two days? Although I had an ability similar to teleportation, using it greatly consumed my spiritual qi... Not to mention that its distance was quite limited."

"Hehe~ There's a reason why I bring you to this place; with the dense vegetation within the mountain, casually consuming one would surely increase your spiritual recovery. The only thing that posed a problem to you was the unawakened beasts roaming around and the complete rules."

Hmm?

Raising his brows upon hearing spiritual herbs, Leo's eyes immediately glinted with excitement, his lips instinctively curled up as greed rose in his heart.

It could be said that one of the reasons why he had entered this place was actually for the spiritual herbs; without spiritual herbs to create potions, his horror shop within the town wouldn't function to its full capabilities, causing his earning of horror points to decrease by at least 100%!
