Chapter 718: Chapter 718: The Hunt, Always Silent

After a day’s trek, they also encountered some minor monster beasts along the way.

Hyalen beasts that looked like hippos, and rabbits that resembled rhinoceroses.

The weirdness was indeed somewhat unacceptable, but compared to the power of the Seven Tails, they were merely trifles.

Just as they were nearing the central peak, a roar shattered the night.

Lin Fan and the two others looked curiously in the other direction.

The moon was like a silver plate, casting its light upon the dense forest.

The tall trees in the distance were shaking continuously.

Clearly, it was a huge monster beast.

Perhaps, it was also something they hadn’t seen since entering the island.

"This fellow, probably is going to be very formidable,"

Xu Zhi Rou swallowed hard.

Since entering Evil Island, the once brave her had become a burden.

Just any monster beast that sprung up was beyond her ability to challenge.

The roar just now had made her head dizzy, and her chest felt as if it was being oppressed by something.

Just the cry alone was already so terrifying.

One couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like inside.

"Do you want to go have a look?"

Lin Fan also showed a curious look at this moment.

Logically speaking, this area was bound to hold some big catch, and moreover, the roar just now was clearly a battle cry.

Perhaps, this monster beast was under attack.

"Yes, yes!"

Ning Mengyao looked excitedly at the distance.

Ever since she had acquired the power of the Glamorous Corpse, her desire for battle was incredibly strong.

The monster beasts from earlier weren’t enough to entertain her.

Instead, Xu Zhi Rou looked troubled.

"Forget it, I’d just be a drag if I went, so I’ll wait here for you guys."

"What are you talking about!"

Seeing the reluctance and sorrow on Xu Zhi Rou’s face, Ning Mengyao quickly came over to her.

Having experienced the days of being shielded by others, she could understand that helplessness.

She reached out and took her hand, saying, "You’ve already used ’husband’s’ help, so of course as sisters, we go together, in and out. If anything happens, I’ll block it for you."

"Forget it, I’m too weak now. In case something happens, I’ll only get in the way. Better wait until Lin Fan gets back the power of the Ice Corpse, then I’ll join you in battle."

Xu Zhi Rou was always the leader charging at the forefront.

This time, having become a burden, she really didn’t want to cause trouble for the two of them.

"Don’t wait for later, in life, we must seize every moment,"

Lin Fan said with a smile, walking up and taking her hand.

At the same time, a stream of True Qi infused into her body.

The stuffiness from earlier instantly dissipated.

"If there really are little ghosts causing trouble ahead, we ought to muddy the waters and do what needs to be done. Between humans and monsters, I’m definitely on the side of humans, but if it’s a fight between monster beasts and little ghosts, I’ll definitely side with the monster beasts. Don’t you want to kill a few of those ghosts yourself?"

"But can I?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan with concern.

This was a high-end game from the get-go, and as a junior Martial Cultivator, she wasn’t fit for the table.

"Don’t worry, you’ll definitely succeed, and I promise to let you kill to your heart’s content!"

Ning Mengyao had already made up her mind to let Xu Zhi Rou really enjoy herself.

She gave Lin Fan a look, and the two immediately pulled her and ran forward at a breakneck pace.

With such speed, Xu Zhi Rou only felt the wind whistle by her ears.

In just about fifteen minutes, they crossed a large expanse of dense forest and arrived at an open area.

There, a massive monster beast stood.

Like a gargantuan ape, it was as tall as a seven-story building.

Its body covered in white fur was now stained with much blood.

Around it, nearly a hundred curse-wielders holding monster blades were fighting fiercely.

The various weapons in their hands emitted waves of green monster light.

"So these are ordinary curse-wielders!"

Pushing aside the bushes, Ning Mengyao sized up the martial artists before her.

Although their bodies were covered in a terrifying green glow, it was the weapons in their hands that shone the brightest.

In other words, their abilities were entirely granted by the weapons they wielded.

"They’re clearly not the freak-level guys from before, just right for a little warm-up."

Lin Fan squinted his eyes, observing the battlefield before him.

All the spellcasters’ attention was focused on the giant ape.

Its massive body could send tremors through the ground with a simple stomp of its feet.

"This beast... how terrifying!"

Xu Zhi Rou watched the giant ape wildly swinging its fists.

In her mind, she seemed to see a real-life version of King Kong.

However, facing the locust-like swarm of spellcasters, it was only passively taking hits.

It couldn’t keep up with the speed of their movement at all.

Every strike it made hit nothing but air.

Meanwhile, the enemies’ blades kept carving new wounds into its body.

It was clear they intended to exhaust it to death.

"Then let’s give it a hand."

Lin Fan pulled out a dagger and handed it to Xu Zhi Rou.

This knife was the one related to her identity that Ning Mengyao had retrieved.

"This... what can I do?"

Xu Zhi Rou, holding the knife, was puzzled.

Her combat strength was nowhere near enough to clearly see the enemies’ movements.

It didn’t matter whether she was given a knife or a gun; it wouldn’t be useful.

"I’ll be responsible for immobilizing them, you take care of the killing; just consider it a little practice."

Lin Fan grinned at Ning Mengyao, "You don’t need to hide anymore, go straight and help that giant ape. Take out those three guys by its side; as long as those three fall, it should be fine."

"Alright, leave it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Mengyao transformed into a superhero.

She leaped into the air and charged towards the center of the battle formation.

At the same time, all seven of her fox tails unfurled, causing chaos wherever they passed.

"There’s... an anthropomorphic beast!"

The sudden appearance of Ning Mengyao threw the spellcasters into disarray.

They saw her as an anthropomorphic beast.

Moreover, her killing power was much greater than the data they had previously collected indicated.

Her seven fox tails were like a meat grinder.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen spellcasters lay in a pool of blood.

"You are the real beasts!"

Being mistaken for a beast was something Ning Mengyao found most irritating.

After cursing, she retracted her fox tails, turned into a ball, and smashed heavily into the ground.

This strike instantly crushed several slow runners to death.

The next second, her fox tails spread out again, swiftly claiming the lives of several others nearby.

"Quick, help out!"

The three team leaders, who were in command, also noticed Ning Mengyao.

The sudden emergence of this creature with tails put them under pressure.

They immediately dispatched a squad to pounce on Ning Mengyao.

The remaining two squads continued to attack the giant ape.

Little did they know that the real threat was stealthily approaching from behind.

Lin Fan crouched low, hands shaped like palms, and with his will, he conjured numerous flying needles out of thin air.

He shot them towards the spellcasters who were still nocking arrows.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

The nearly silent silver needles accurately penetrated their bodies.

The once-energetic spellcasters were suddenly rendered motionless.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled and beckoned to Xu Zhi Rou.

"Wifey, come on, let’s go kill some baddies!"
