Time passed slowly. Zhou Chen saw more people return. He gained an understanding of most of them through the fat youth’s introduction and even pulled some of them into his demon slayer team.

The next day, their demon slayer team left Phoenix Ridge City. They entered the nearby mountains through the mountain path and began to search for demons to hunt.

There were a total of six people in their team. Apart from Zhou Chen, the young man, and the fat youth with the fan, there was the tall muscular man who looked like an iron tower, a short and burly youngster, and a woman who used a blade.

The short youngster and the blade-wielding woman had also just arrived in the city. The short youngster claimed to be the number one expert of Wangjiagou. He had come to kill demons to earn some money to go back and marry a wife. The blade-wielding woman claimed to want to earn money to treat her child.

Among the six of them, only the tall muscular man was familiar with the surrounding mountain terrain. It was the fat youth who had spent a lot of effort to pull him over because the fat youth had arrived at Phoenix Ridge City just a few days ago. He had only been wandering around and making friends, and had never gone deep into the mountains to fight demons.

“The place where I was ambushed yesterday is right ahead. Be careful.”

At this moment, everyone had been walking in the mountains for several hours. The tall muscular man, who was walking in the front, said in a low voice.

Yesterday, Zhou Chen had seen that the tall muscular man had many injuries on his body, but now, he seemed to have mostly recovered. In addition, his blood gave off a feeling of a strong vitality, so Zhou Chen suspected that the man had cultivated a body-tempering cultivation technique.

“It’s okay! All of you, don’t worry! With me, Wangjiagou’s number one expert, here, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”

The short and burly youngster was a young man who stuttered a little, but he was very confident. He always emphasized his identity as the number one expert of Wangjiagou.

“Hehe, don’t worry. My vision has always been good. Everyone’s strength should not be far from a Martial Dao Expert. Even if we encounter a few demons, we can take them down.”

As the one who brought this team together, the fat youth was quite happy with himself. He believed that the teammates he had chosen were not weak. With so many people, they could win even if they encountered some ambushes.

Zhou Chen, the young man, and the woman did not speak. They quietly observed their surroundings, guarding against any possible attacks.

Zhou Chen’s expression was the calmest because he had already confirmed with the Bloodthirst passive skill that there were no monsters in the surroundings. What he needed to guard against were only traps.

The tall muscular man pointed at the forest ahead with poor lighting and said, “It’s here… Yesterday, we encountered the ambush of nine monkey demons here. I had to separate from Old Li and the others due to the ambush.”

“Let’s go in and take a look.” The fat youth thought for a moment and continued, “Maybe we can find traces of demons inside.”

“Okay.”

The young man nodded slightly when he heard this. His eyes scanned the forest vigilantly.

Zhou Chen and the others followed them carefully into the forest and began to investigate.

Before long, they found some blood stains and a mutilated middle-aged man’s corpse in the depths of the forest.

“It’s Old Zhang. I didn’t expect him to die.”

The muscular man immediately recognized the corpse.

However, the fat youth frowned and was not too sure.

“Is this really Old Zhang? His intestines are all over the ground, and his face is scratched like this. His eyes, nose, and chin are all gone. I can’t connect the two.”

Realizing the death of another demon slayer, the atmosphere of the team immediately worsened. The woman with the blade and the short youngster who claimed to be the best in the Wangjiagou even vomited.

Zhou Chen did not have much of a reaction. He had killed many monsters and humans, and was already numb to such a scene.

“According to the blood on the ground and trees, and other traces, those monkey demons should have gone in this direction.” The fat youth judged while the woman and the youngster were still vomiting.

The group continued walking in the forest.

An hour later, the six of them walked out of the forest and arrived at a precipice.

The fat youth frowned. “Those monkey demons have climbed down this precipice. Could their nest be in the precipice?”

“I’ll go down and take a look.”

With that said, his white and fat body jumped off the precipice like a fat pigeon. Then, he stepped on the precipice wall and ran quickly, appearing very light and agile. It was completely inconsistent with his physique.

The young man and the youngster quickly followed after him and showed off their lightness skills.

However, Zhou Chen stood firmly and did not go down to check, because he had already determined that there were no monsters hiding on this not-tall precipice with the Bloodthirst passive skill.

‘It’s time to consider going solo.’

Zhou Chen now knew that these people did not have a good way to find demons. They were basically trying their luck. In terms of efficiency, they were inferior to him, who had the Bloodthirst and the Beast King passive skills.

However, just as he was thinking of leaving, the blade-wielding woman suddenly pointed at a spot below the precipice.

“I think I saw a winged person flash by in the forest below.”

She sounded uncertain, as if she thought she was seeing things.

“I saw it too. That looks like an eagle-type demon.” The tall muscular man said in a low voice.

Zhou Chen looked carefully at that area, but it was a dense forest. It was quite far away, and it was not realistic to see what was hidden inside.

“Let’s go over.”

It was okay if he could not see clearly. He just had to go there and check.

Zhou Chen directly activated his Windrun skill and jumped off the precipice, diving down at an astonishing speed along the precipice wall.

It took him a while to approach the forest. Then, he charged in like lightning.

Before long, he smelled blood. He also saw many bones on the ground, some of animals and some of humans.

A few seconds later, he got new information from the Bloodthirst passive skill.

A creature with a blood flow that had both human and animal characteristics appeared about 300 meters away from him.

Without a doubt, this was a demon.

“Inspiration Pill, I’m coming!”

After discovering his target, Zhou Chen was immediately filled with fighting spirit. He activated his Windrun skill and charged over.

In less than two seconds, he saw the demon.

It had a humanoid figure, but its entire body was covered in feathers. There was a pair of large black feather wings on its back, and its head was similar to an eagle’s. It had a beak with a curved hook, looking like a combination of an eagle and a human.

“Die!”

As soon as he found the target, Zhou Chen directly activated the floating movement ability of the Windrun skill and shot at the other party like a bullet. Then, his fist, which was harder than a hammer, smashed into its chest.

Zhou Chen’s attack was very decisive. Therefore, when his fist smashed into the demon, it did not manage to react.

Immediately, feathers, bones, organs, and blood scattered in the forest like fireworks. The eagle demon was instantly killed by Zhou Chen.

After the instakill, Zhou Chen waited for the rewards to arrive.

However, even after three seconds, the system did not respond.

Zhou Chen frowned.. “What’s going on? Why is there no reward?”
