Chapter 10: Hunting time

Lu An walked alone on the road. His main purpose for coming out was to search for eagle demons; shopping was just an excuse.

"Xiao Fu, activate the radar."

He silently thought to himself, and suddenly a map centered around a white point appeared in his mind. The map was completely black, with no other colors.

【Radar activated, one Source Energy per hour】

【No Eagle Demons within 200 meters of the host. When Eagle Demons appear, they will be marked with a red dot.】

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Lu An's eyes deepened, and he began to enter a state.

He strode towards a dark alley he had passed on his way to school before. If he wasn't mistaken, the nauseating aura he had sensed earlier should be an Eagle Demon.

As expected, within 200 meters of the alley, a red dot appeared on the Assistant radar, quietly floating there without moving.

【Target has appeared, host please rush to the destination and slay the Eagle Demon!】

The notification sound rang in his ear. Lu An took out a mask, covered his face with it, and a low voice came from behind the mask.

"The hunt begins."

Inside the secluded alley, a woman was walking quickly along the path. The clicking sound of her high heels hitting the ground echoed in the silent surroundings.

"I used to walk this road often. Why is it so quiet today? It suddenly feels so eerie."

Zhang Dandan muttered to herself, her steps gradually quickening, wanting to pass through this alley quickly. She couldn't help but hum a song to bolster her courage.

She wasn't a Cultivator. After a busy day at work, she wanted to take this shortcut home as usual after getting off work. She didn't expect there to be no one else today. The night sky combined with the dimly lit alley made her feel a little flustered.

"What am I thinking? Scaring myself. There are no ghosts in this world."

After forcibly comforting herself, Zhang Dandan continued walking forward, but as time passed, her expression became increasingly ugly, and her face turned pale.

"Something's wrong. So much time has passed, why haven't I reached the exit yet?!"

She suddenly realized that it had been about 10 minutes since she entered the alley. In the past, it only took her 4 minutes to get through the alley. The current situation was completely unreasonable.

Zhang Dandan shouted loudly with a trembling voice: "Who's there? Can you please stop the prank? It's really scary, you know."

Her voice echoed, but no one responded, as if she was the only one left in the world.

"Woo woo, woo woo."

Just then, Zhang Dandan heard a crying sound coming from a distance. The sound went from far to near. Extreme fear scared Zhang Dandan so much that she turned and ran back, but no matter how far she ran, she couldn't get out.

And the sound got closer and closer. Slowly, a short white figure could be seen appearing around the corner. The wailing sound came from it.

"Don't come here!"

Zhang Dandan screamed loudly in collapse, watching the white figure approach with her legs seemingly rooted to the ground.

Just when it was 10 meters away from her, a furious shout came.

"Evil beast, stop your mischief!"

This powerful voice exploded like thunder in Zhang Dandan's ears. Her vision blurred, and the whole world slowly twisted and deformed. Focusing her eyes, she realized that she hadn't walked far at all; she had been treading in place the entire time, and a terrifying-looking White Monkey was staring at her with its pale eyes not far away.

She turned her head to look in the direction the furious shout came from. A masked Stout Man had appeared behind her at some point, his entire body glowing with a faint golden light, giving off a strong sense of security.

"Save, save me." Zhang Dandan pleaded helplessly towards the man.

Lu An glanced at her. As soon as he arrived, he saw that this woman had been enchanted by that monkey, spinning in place, so he shouted to wake her up.

"You go out first, hurry home, and remember not to walk in this kind of secluded alley alone again in the future." Lu An told her to leave this place, as staying here would only affect his performance.

"Thank you, thank you." Hearing Lu An tell her to leave, Zhang Dandan repeatedly thanked him and hurriedly ran out of the alley, bypassing him.

Seeing her leave, Lu An's gaze refocused on the White Monkey. He hadn't paid much attention before, but this monkey was rotten all over, just like the photos released by the Xuantian Division. Its fur was missing in patches, revealing bright red muscle tissue. Its limbs were long and slender, its sharp claws were stained with blood, its face was contorted, its eyes were pale, and he could clearly see blood vessels wriggling inside.

"Truly disgusting," Lu An thought to himself. He took off his upper garment, then fully circulated the Flame Golden Body. A layer of illusory flames instantly attached to his faint golden body, making him look like a God descending to the mortal world, incredibly majestic.

A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit. This was the first time he faced an Eagle Demon, and without knowing its details, it was better to go all out and be cautious.

"Peng"

Lu An's thick legs suddenly pushed off, and two cracks instantly appeared on the ground where he stood. Using this recoil force, he charged directly towards the White Monkey.

Seeing Lu An's attack was so swift, the corpse monkey let out a hoarse, low sound like "Ya" from its throat and raised its sharp claws, pouncing towards Lu An.

"Good move." Lu An smiled. He liked opponents who met force with force the most. Although those sharp claws looked no different from blades, trying to cut through his body in its full power state was a pipe dream!

"Boom"

Lu An's fist landed squarely on the corpse monkey's left face. It screamed in pain, foul blood splattered from its cheek, which caved in. The flames attached to the fist spread and stained its fur.

And when its sharp claws pierced Lu An's left shoulder, they made a "Dang" sound like metal colliding. The tips of its claws were partly burned away, and black-red blood oozed from between its fingers.

The corpse monkey fell to the ground with a "Pa" sound, rolling around in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

"Lots of fur, weak to fire, Brother Monkey." Lu An's eyes narrowed slightly. He would take its life while it was injured. His five fingers grabbed towards the corpse monkey like eagle claws.

Naturally, he couldn't wait for the corpse monkey to extinguish the flames before attacking. He understood the principle of hitting a dog while it's down.

He grabbed the corpse monkey's neck on the ground with his left hand, lifted it up, and like hitting Liu Zunming, he hammered its body with his right fist.

His fists, like cannonballs, hammered the corpse monkey like a fierce storm. Its limbs clung tightly to Lu An's left arm like a sloth, its sharp claws furiously scratching, attempting to make Lu An release the hand gripping its neck.

Seeing the corpse monkey was still resisting stubbornly, Lu An grabbed its head and fiercely smashed it against the wall on one side. "Peng Pa," black blood splattered, and the fierce and powerful force made the wall thump.

Two minutes passed. Under Lu An's frenzied attack, the corpse monkey's head became increasingly broken. Its movements slowly stiffened. Finally, as the crack in the wall expanded, its brain burst, and black, thick liquid splattered onto the wall.

【Ding, Source Energy point + 5】

Hearing the Little Assistant's notification sound, Lu An's left arm paused. He threw the corpse monkey's broken body aside, his whole body's flames surged, evaporating the black liquid splattered on him.

Exhaling a breath, Lu An slowly withdrew his power and said, "This thing is really durable. It took this long to kill it."

【Ding, the characteristics of evil creatures make their vitality extremely tenacious. If it were someone else, it would take quite a while to kill it.】
