In the depths of the forest, it was pitch black, and now and then eerie sounds echoed, sending chills down one’s spine.
Lin Fan, though usually fearless, couldn’t help but feel uneasy in this strange forest. If a ghost suddenly popped out, it could genuinely scare someone to death.
“I’ve been walking for hours. I should be far enough from the Holy Devil Sect by now. Time to rest well and continue heading north tomorrow.” Lin Fan found a spot, laid some leaves on the ground, and lay down, closing his eyes to prepare for a good rest.
As for whether this forest was dangerous, Lin Fan couldn’t say for sure. Back at the sect, he had heard some rumors.
The rumors said this forest was dangerous… but exactly how dangerous, no one really knew unless they had experienced it firsthand.
Ssshh…
The surroundings were quiet. Lin Fan lay beneath a giant tree, breathing softly. In the dark bushes nearby, a pair of blood-red eyes flickered briefly.
Those crimson eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust. Yet, for the sleeping Lin Fan, the approaching danger remained undetected.
The owner of those blood-red eyes was a fierce beast—a monstrous creature nearly half a man’s height, with a horse-like tail, powerful hooves, sharp and curved claws, and two tufts of red fur standing upright on its back. Its row of razor-sharp teeth looked capable of tearing apart anything in sight.
Its face somewhat resembled a dog.
In the forest, it was pitch black, with occasional terrifying sounds echoing through the darkness. Although Lin Fan was fearless by nature, he couldn’t help but feel a bit scared in this eerie forest. If a ghost suddenly appeared, it would truly be a frightful experience.
“After walking for several hours, I’m far enough from the Holy Demon Sect. I can rest well now and continue north tomorrow,” Lin Fan thought. He found a spot, spread some leaves on the ground, and lay down, closing his eyes to get some proper rest.
As for whether the forest was dangerous, Lin Fan wasn’t entirely sure. Back in the sect, he had heard some rumors. It was said that this forest was perilous, but without experiencing it firsthand, he couldn’t fully grasp the extent of the danger.
Rustle, rustle…
The surroundings were quiet. Lin Fan lay beneath a massive tree, breathing softly. In the dark bushes nearby, a pair of crimson eyes flashed by.
Those crimson eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust, but Lin Fan, deep in sleep, was unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
The owner of those crimson eyes was a fierce beast. The beast stood half the height of a man, with a tail resembling a horse’s, powerful hooves, sharp curved claws, and two tufts of red hair standing upright on its back. Its row of sharp teeth seemed capable of tearing apart anything in its path. Its face, however, looked somewhat like a dog’s.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was a common beast around the Holy Demon Sect. Any disciple below the innate realm would surely die if they encountered one.
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound stepped firmly on the ground, its crimson eyes greedily fixed on the human sleeping beneath the tree.
It had just had an intense encounter with a beautiful Devouring Moon Demon Hound under the moonlight, and its energy was drained. Suddenly, it caught the scent of a human and, without hesitation, followed it.
Though the beast was brutal and bloodthirsty, it wasn’t entirely brainless.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound observed in the darkness, its keen nose being its primary tool for detecting enemies. It could discern the strength of its prey by their scent.
After sniffing Lin Fan for a full minute, the beast concluded that this was a free meal delivered to its doorstep.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound slowly approached, and when it was just a few steps away from its prey, its hind legs bent, and it pounced fiercely.
“Clang…”
The beast’s sharp teeth aimed for the chest of its prey, but something unexpected happened.
A crisp sound rang out, causing the Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s teeth to chatter.
How could this be? In the past, its prey would feel soft and tender when bitten, but now, what was going on?
Enraged, the beast couldn’t believe that its teeth, which could tear through anything, couldn’t even rip apart a human. This was a disgrace.
I’ll bite.
I’ll bite.
I’ll bite…
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +1000.”
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience +1000.”
…
The system’s notifications kept coming, and Lin Fan, deep in sleep, felt like his brain was about to explode from the noise.
“Enough already!” Lin Fan sat up, annoyed. When he opened his eyes and saw the creature before him, he was momentarily stunned.
Where did this dog come from?
“Ding, discovered innate first-tier beast, Devouring Moon Demon Hound.”
Lin Fan was taken aback. He had heard of beasts before. When he became an outer disciple, the sect had provided a manual that introduced these creatures. They were ferocious and brutal beings from the Profound Yellow Realm. Even the weakest of them were at the innate level, and due to their innate advantages, humans of the same cultivation level were no match for them.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew increasingly aggressive, biting Lin Fan’s arm and refusing to let go, as if it was determined to fight to the death.
“Woof, woof…”
The beast growled fiercely as it noticed the human had woken up.
Lin Fan blinked at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, surprised that its bites were actually increasing his ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience. However, the beast’s saliva was foul and disgusting.
“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew even more furious. Its black tail suddenly burst into black flames, as if it intended to burn the human alive.
“Head-on brick strike.”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out the divine artifact “Nine-Five Red Brick” from his backpack and smacked it on the beast’s forehead.
The once-ferocious Devouring Moon Demon Hound instantly fell into a daze.
Lin Fan shook his body, realizing how dangerous the situation had been. His habit of sleeping too deeply hadn’t changed, and it had nearly cost him his life.
Dragging the beast by its leg, Lin Fan searched for vines. At the very least, he had secured breakfast for the next day.
As he searched for vines, whenever the Devouring Moon Demon Hound showed signs of waking up, Lin Fan would smack its forehead with the brick again.
…
When the beast finally woke up from its daze, it saw Lin Fan’s face and let out a furious roar, wanting to tear him apart. However, it soon realized that its limbs were bound and it couldn’t move.
“Stop barking. You’re tied to a tree; you can’t move,” Lin Fan said, admiring the strength of the vines he had found. Even with his innate strength, he couldn’t tear them apart.
As the sky gradually brightened, Lin Fan’s sleepiness vanished. He examined the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, which was now tied spread-eagle to the tree.
Its body was covered in black fur, but its belly was snow white. Huh, it’s a male.
“The morning is the best time for practice, and since you’ve come to me, I’ll use you to train,” Lin Fan said, twisting his neck to warm up.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s heart pounded as it watched the human. What was he planning? Why did his eyes seem even more malicious than its own?
“Woof, woof…” the beast growled, warning the human not to go too far.
Lin Fan approached the beast, his eyes fixed on the area between its hind legs. He took a deep breath.
“Let’s begin the training…”
Under the beast’s fierce gaze, Lin Fan moved. His movements were natural and fluid, though he only used one move, it gradually reached a state of simplicity that embodied the essence of the Dao.
“Monkey Steals the Peach…”
“Woof…”
A heart-wrenching howl echoed through the forest.
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ experience +500.”
At the system’s prompt, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction. As he had suspected, ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ was a divine skill. Any male creature would suffer a fatal blow from it.
“Monkey Steals the Peach.”
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ experience +500.”
“Woof…”
Lin Fan then began an unscrupulous path of grinding experience.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound trembled, its fierce eyes now filled with confusion and regret. The continuous, agonizing howls indicated the beast’s immense suffering.
The sky gradually brightened. A ray of morning sunlight pierced through the dense leaves, shining on Lin Fan’s face.
Lin Fan checked his personal panel. The experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ had reached over 40,000, and he was just over 10,000 away from leveling up.
Lin Fan clapped his hands, deciding to end it for the day. He glanced at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound and sighed. For the sake of experience, he had even stooped to tormenting a beast. It was truly inhumane…
“Woof…” The Devouring Moon Demon Hound now regretted everything. Why had this happened? It looked at the human before it and let out a mournful cry.
Lin Fan took out a mid-grade longsword from his backpack and looked at the beast with reluctance.
“Brother Dog, I will repay your kindness someday.”
“Ding, killed innate first-tier beast, Devouring Moon Demon Hound.”
“Ding, experience +5000.”
“Ding, dropped low-tier skill ‘Black Tiger Plucks the Heart’.”
…
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound stepped silently, its red eyes greedily fixed on the sleeping human beneath the tree.
Just moments ago, it had indulged in a passionate encounter with a beautiful female Moon-Devouring Demon Hound under the moonlight, leaving it exhausted. When it caught the scent of a human, it immediately came searching without hesitation.
Though savage and bloodthirsty, these beasts weren’t entirely mindless.
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound had observed from the shadows, using its keen nose to gauge the strength of its prey by scent.
Sniffing Lin Fan for a full minute, it finally concluded: this was a free meal, served on a silver platter.
The beast crept forward slowly. When it was just a few steps away, it bent its hind legs and lunged forward with terrifying speed.
“Clang!”
Its razor-sharp fangs sank toward the chest of its prey—only to meet an unexpected surprise.
A sharp, metallic sound rang out, making the beast’s teeth rattle.
Impossible! Normally, its bite would tear through flesh like soft silk, but now—what in the world was this?
The beast was furious. Its fangs, capable of tearing through anything, couldn’t even pierce this human. It was an outright humiliation.
I bite!
I bite again!
I bite bite bite…
“Ding… Congratulations! +1000 experience for ‘Indestructible Demon Body.'”
“Ding… Congratulations! +1000 experience for ‘Indestructible Demon Body.'”
…
System notifications kept coming, one after another, nearly driving Lin Fan crazy in his sleep.
“Can’t you shut up?” Lin Fan grumbled, sitting up in annoyance. When he opened his eyes and saw the creature before him, he was momentarily stunned.
Where did this dog come from?
In the forest, it was pitch black, and from time to time, eerie sounds could be heard, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Although Lin Fan was fearless by nature, he couldn’t help but feel a bit scared in this strange forest. If a ghost were to suddenly appear, it would truly be terrifying.
“I’ve been walking for several hours now, and I’m far enough from the Holy Demon Sect. It’s time to rest properly and continue north tomorrow,” Lin Fan thought to himself. He found a spot, spread some leaves on the ground, and lay down, closing his eyes to get some much-needed rest.
As for whether the forest was dangerous or not, Lin Fan couldn’t say for sure. Back in the sect, he had heard some rumors.
Rumors that this forest was very dangerous… but as for where the danger lay, without experiencing it firsthand, it was hard to understand.
Rustle, rustle…
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Lin Fan lay beneath a massive tree, breathing softly. In the dark bushes nearby, a pair of crimson eyes flashed by.
These crimson eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust, but Lin Fan, deep in sleep, was unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
The owner of those crimson eyes was a fierce beast. The beast stood half as tall as a man, with a tail resembling a horse’s, robust and powerful limbs, sharp and curved claws, and two tufts of red fur standing upright on its back. Its row of sharp teeth seemed capable of tearing apart anything in its path.
Its face, however, somewhat resembled that of a dog.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was a common fierce beast around the Holy Demon Sect. Any disciple below the Innate Realm who encountered it would surely meet their end.
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound stomped its powerful hooves on the ground, its crimson eyes greedily fixed on the human sleeping beneath the tree.
It had just finished an intense “exchange” with a beautiful Devouring Moon Demon Hound under the moonlight, and its energy was significantly drained. When it caught the scent of a human, it didn’t hesitate to follow it.
Though fierce beasts were brutal and bloodthirsty, they weren’t entirely brainless.

Lin Fan was taken aback. He had heard of fierce beasts before. When he became an outer sect disciple, the sect had provided a manual that included information on these creatures.
They were beings that lived in the Profound Yellow World, known for their ferocity and brutality. Even the weakest of them were at the Innate Realm, and due to their innate advantages, humans of the same cultivation level were no match for them.

“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound, noticing that the human had woken up, barked menacingly.
Lin Fan blinked at the beast, surprised that its biting actually increased his ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience. However, the beast’s drool was foul-smelling and utterly disgusting.
“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew even angrier. Its black tail suddenly burst into black flames, as if it intended to burn the human alive.
“Head-on Brick Strike.”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out the divine artifact “95 Red Brick” from his backpack and smacked it onto the Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s forehead.
The once-ferocious beast instantly fell into a dazed state.
Lin Fan shook his body, realizing how dangerous the situation had been. His habit of sleeping too deeply hadn’t changed, and he had been completely unaware of the threat.

…
When the Devouring Moon Demon Hound finally woke up, it saw Lin Fan’s face and let out a furious roar, wanting to tear him apart. However, it soon realized that its limbs were immobilized.
“Stop barking. You’re tied to a tree. You can’t move,” Lin Fan said, admiring the ingenuity of nature. The vines he had found were incredibly sturdy, and even with his Innate Realm strength, he couldn’t tear them apart.
As the sky gradually brightened, Lin Fan’s sleepiness vanished. He examined the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, which was spread-eagled and tied to the tree, taking in its appearance.
Its body was covered in black fur, but its belly was snow-white. Huh, it was a male.
“The early bird catches the worm. Since you’ve come to me, I’ll use you for some practice,” Lin Fan said, twisting his neck to warm up.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s heart raced as it watched the human. What was he planning? Why did his eyes seem even more sinister than its own?
“Woof, woof…” the beast barked, warning the human not to get too bold.
Lin Fan approached the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, his eyes fixed on the area between its hind legs. He took a deep breath.
“Time to practice…”
Under the beast’s fierce gaze, Lin Fan moved. His movements were fluid and natural, and though he only used one move, it gradually reached a level of simplicity that embodied the essence of the Dao.
“Monkey Steals the Peach…”
“Woof…”
A heart-wrenching howl echoed through the forest.

Lin Fan checked his personal panel. The experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ had reached over 40,000, with just over 10,000 left to level up.
Lin Fan clapped his hands, deciding to call it a day. He glanced at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound and sighed. For the sake of experience, he had even stooped to tormenting a beast. Truly, he had no conscience…
“Woof…” The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was filled with regret. How had things come to this? It looked at the human before it and let out a mournful howl.
Lin Fan took out a mid-grade longsword from his backpack and looked at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound with a hint of reluctance.

These crimson eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust, but Lin Fan, deep in sleep, was unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
The owner of those crimson eyes was a fierce beast. The beast was half the height of a man, with a tail like a horse’s, strong and powerful limbs, sharp and curved claws, and two tufts of red hair standing upright on its back. Its row of sharp teeth seemed capable of tearing apart anything it saw.
Its face, however, somewhat resembled a dog.
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound was a common fierce beast around the Holy Demon Sect. Any disciple below the Innate Realm would surely die if they encountered it.

Where did this dog come from?
“Ding, discovered Innate Level 1 Fierce Beast, Moon-Devouring Demon Hound.”
Lin Fan was taken aback. He had heard of fierce beasts before. When he became an outer sect disciple, the sect had provided a manual that introduced these creatures.
They were beings that lived in the Profound Yellow Realm, known for their ferocity and brutality. Even the weakest fierce beast was at the Innate Realm, and due to their innate advantages, humans of the same cultivation level were no match for them.

The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound, seeing that the human had woken up, barked menacingly.
Lin Fan looked at the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound and blinked. He hadn’t expected that being bitten by a fierce beast would also increase the experience of his ‘Indestructible Demon Body.’ However, the beast’s saliva was foul-smelling and disgusting.
“Woof woof…”
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound grew even angrier. Its black tail suddenly burst into black flames, as if it intended to burn the human alive.
“Headshot with a brick.”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan took out the divine artifact “95 Red Brick” from his backpack and smacked it on the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound’s forehead.
The once fierce Moon-Devouring Demon Hound instantly fell into a dazed state.
Lin Fan shook his body. This was truly dangerous. His habit of sleeping too deeply hadn’t changed. Once he fell asleep, he was out cold.
Lin Fan dragged the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound by its leg, searching for vines. At the very least, he had secured breakfast for the next day.
While searching for vines, whenever the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound was about to wake up from its dazed state, Lin Fan would smack it on the forehead again with the brick.
…
When the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound finally woke up from its daze and saw Lin Fan’s face, it roared, wanting to charge and tear him apart. However, it found that its limbs were immobilized.
“Stop barking. You’re tied to a tree. How do you expect to move?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire the wonders of nature. The vines he had found were incredibly sturdy. Even with his current Innate Realm strength, he couldn’t tear them apart.
The sky gradually brightened. Lin Fan, now fully awake, examined the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound, which was spread-eagled and tied to the tree.
Its body was covered in black fur, but its belly was snow white. Huh, it was a male.
“The early bird catches the worm. Since you’ve delivered yourself to me, I’ll use you for some practice,” Lin Fan said, twisting his neck to warm up.
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound looked at the human before it, its heart pounding. What was this human planning? Why did his gaze seem even more sinister than its own?
“Woof woof…” The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound barked, warning the human not to be too presumptuous.
Lin Fan approached the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound, his eyes fixed on the area between its hind legs. He took a deep breath.
“Let’s start training…”
Under the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound’s fierce gaze, Lin Fan moved. His movements were natural and fluid. Though it was just one move, it gradually reached a state of simplicity that embodied the essence of the Dao.
“Monkey Steals the Peach…”
“Woof…”
A heart-wrenching howl echoed through the forest.
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ experience +500.”
At the system’s prompt, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction. As he had expected, ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ was a divine skill. Any male creature in the world would suffer a fatal blow from it.
“Monkey Steals the Peach.”
“Ding, congratulations! ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ experience +500.”
“Woof…”
Lin Fan then began an unscrupulous path of grinding experience.
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound trembled all over. Its fierce eyes turned confused and regretful. The series of heart-wrenching howls indicated that it was in great pain.
The sky gradually brightened. A ray of morning sunlight pierced through the dense leaves, shining on Lin Fan’s face.
Lin Fan checked his personal panel. The experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ had reached over 40,000, and he needed just over 10,000 more to level up.
Lin Fan clapped his hands. That was enough for today. He glanced at the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound and sighed slightly. For the sake of experience, he had even stooped to tormenting a beast. He truly had no conscience…
“Woof…” The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound was filled with regret. How had things come to this? It looked at the human before it and let out a mournful howl.
Lin Fan took out a mid-grade longsword from his backpack and looked at the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound with reluctance.
“Brother Dog, I will repay your kindness today in the future.”
“Ding, killed Innate Level 1 Fierce Beast, Moon-Devouring Demon Hound.”
“Ding, experience +5000.”
“Ding, dropped low-tier skill ‘Black Tiger Steals the Heart.'”
…
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound grew more aggressive, clamping down on Lin Fan’s arm and refusing to let go, as if determined to fight to the bitter end.
“Woof! Woof!”
Realizing the human had awakened, the beast snarled threateningly.
Lin Fan looked at the beast and blinked again. He hadn’t expected that being bitten by a beast could actually increase his “Indestructible Demon Body” experience. Still, the beast’s breath was disgustingly foul.
“Woof!”
The beast growled louder, its black horse-like tail igniting with dark flames, as if attempting to burn the human alive.
“Right on the head!”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out his legendary treasure—the “95 Red Brick”—and smashed it straight onto the beast’s forehead.
The once-fearsome Moon-Devouring Demon Hound instantly entered a daze.
Lin Fan shivered. That was close. He really needed to break the habit of sleeping too deeply the moment he closed his eyes.
Grabbing the beast’s leg, Lin Fan began searching for vines. At the very least, breakfast was now secured for tomorrow.
As the beast began to recover from its daze, Lin Fan promptly hit it again with the brick.
…
When the Moon-Devouring Demon Hound finally regained consciousness, it roared furiously at Lin Fan, eager to tear him apart. However, it quickly realized its limbs were immobile.
In the forest, it was pitch black, and from time to time, terrifying sounds echoed through the air.
Although Lin Fan was fearless by nature, he couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy in this eerie forest. If a ghost were to suddenly appear, it would surely be enough to scare someone to death.
“I’ve been walking for several hours now, and I’m far enough from the Holy Demon Sect. It’s time to rest properly and continue north tomorrow,” Lin Fan thought to himself. He found a spot, spread some leaves on the ground, and lay down, closing his eyes to get some much-needed rest.
As for whether the forest was dangerous or not, Lin Fan couldn’t say for sure. Back in the sect, he had heard some rumors. It was said that this forest was perilous… but as for where the danger lay, without experiencing it firsthand, it was hard to understand.
Rustle, rustle…
The surroundings were quiet. Lin Fan lay beneath a massive tree, breathing softly. In the darkness of the bushes, a pair of crimson eyes flashed by.
Those crimson eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust, but Lin Fan, deep in sleep, was unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
The owner of those crimson eyes was a fierce beast. The beast stood half the height of a man, with a tail like a horse’s, powerful hooves, sharp curved claws, and two tufts of red hair standing upright on its back. Its row of sharp teeth seemed capable of tearing apart anything in its path.
Its face, however, somewhat resembled that of a dog.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was a common fierce beast around the Holy Demon Sect. Any disciple below the Innate Realm who encountered it would undoubtedly meet their end.
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s hooves pressed firmly against the ground, its crimson eyes greedily fixed on the human sleeping beneath the tree.
Having just engaged in a deep “exchange” with a beautiful Devouring Moon Demon Hound under the moonlight, its energy was somewhat depleted. Upon catching the scent of a human, it naturally followed without hesitation.
Though fierce beasts were brutal and bloodthirsty, they weren’t entirely without intelligence.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound observed in the darkness, its keen nose being its primary tool for detecting enemies. It could discern the strength of its prey by scent alone.
After sniffing Lin Fan for a full minute, the beast concluded that this was a free meal delivered right to its doorstep.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound slowly advanced, step by step. When it was just a few steps away from its prey, its hind legs bent swiftly, and it pounced with ferocity.
“Clang…”
The beast’s sharp teeth aimed for Lin Fan’s chest, but what happened next left it utterly stunned.
A crisp sound rang out, causing the Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s teeth to chatter.
How could this be? In the past, its prey would feel soft and tender when bitten, but now, what was this?
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound was enraged. Its teeth, capable of tearing through anything, couldn’t even pierce this human’s flesh. This was nothing short of a disgrace.
I bite.
I bite.
I bite, bite, bite…
“Ding, congratulations! +1000 experience for ‘Indestructible Demon Body.'”
“Ding, congratulations! +1000 experience for ‘Indestructible Demon Body.'”
…
The system’s notifications came one after another, and Lin Fan, still half-asleep, felt like his head was about to explode from the noise.
“Enough already!” Lin Fan sat up, annoyed. When he opened his eyes and saw the creature before him, he was momentarily stunned.
Where did this dog come from?
“Ding, discovered Innate Tier 1 Fierce Beast: Devouring Moon Demon Hound.”
Lin Fan was taken aback. He had heard of fierce beasts before. When he became an outer sect disciple, the sect had provided a manual that included information about them.
These creatures lived in the Profound Yellow Realm. They were savage and brutal, and even the weakest among them were at the Innate Realm. Due to their innate advantages, even humans of the same cultivation level were no match for them.
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew even more ferocious, biting down on Lin Fan’s arm and refusing to let go, as if it had decided to fight to the death.
“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound, noticing that the human had woken up, barked menacingly.
Lin Fan blinked at the beast, surprised that its bites were actually increasing his ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience. However, the beast’s saliva was foul-smelling and utterly disgusting.
“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew even angrier. Its black, horse-like tail suddenly burst into black flames, as if it intended to burn Lin Fan alive.
“Headshot with a brick.”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out the divine artifact “95 Red Brick” from his backpack and smacked it against the beast’s forehead.
The once-ferocious Devouring Moon Demon Hound instantly fell into a dazed state.
Lin Fan shook his body, realizing just how dangerous the situation had been. His habit of sleeping too deeply hadn’t changed, and it could have cost him dearly.
Dragging the Devouring Moon Demon Hound by its leg, Lin Fan searched for vines. At the very least, he had secured breakfast for the next day.
As he searched for vines, whenever the Devouring Moon Demon Hound showed signs of waking from its daze, Lin Fan would smack it on the head with the brick again.
…
When the Devouring Moon Demon Hound finally regained consciousness, it saw Lin Fan’s face and let out a furious roar, wanting to tear him apart. However, it soon realized that its limbs were bound and it couldn’t move.
“Stop barking. You’re tied to a tree. What are you going to do?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of nature. The vines he had found were incredibly sturdy; even with his Innate Realm strength, he couldn’t tear them apart.
As the sky gradually brightened, Lin Fan’s sleepiness vanished. He examined the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, which was now tied spread-eagle to the tree.
Its body was covered in black fur, but its belly was snow-white. Huh, it was a male.
“The morning is the best time for training. Since you’ve delivered yourself to me, I’ll use you to practice,” Lin Fan said, twisting his neck to warm up.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s heart pounded as it watched the human. What was he planning? Why did his eyes seem even more malicious than its own?
“Woof, woof…” The beast barked, warning the human not to go too far.
Lin Fan approached the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, his eyes fixed on the area between its hind legs. He took a deep breath.
“Time to train…”
Under the beast’s fierce gaze, Lin Fan moved. His movements were fluid and natural, and though he only used one technique, it gradually reached a state of simplicity that embodied the essence of the Dao.
“Monkey Steals the Peach…”
“Woof…”
A heart-wrenching howl echoed through the forest.
“Ding, congratulations! +500 experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach.'”
At the system’s notification, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction. As he had suspected, ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ was a divine skill. Any male creature in the world would suffer a fatal blow from it.
“Monkey Steals the Peach.”
“Ding, congratulations! +500 experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach.'”
“Woof…”
And so, Lin Fan began his shameless grind for experience.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound trembled uncontrollably, its fierce eyes now filled with confusion and regret. The agonizing screams it let out were a testament to its suffering.
The sky gradually brightened. A ray of morning sunlight pierced through the dense foliage, illuminating Lin Fan’s face.
Lin Fan checked his personal panel. The experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ had reached over 40,000, with just over 10,000 left to level up.
Lin Fan clapped his hands, signaling the end of today’s session. He glanced at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound and sighed. For the sake of experience, he had even stooped to tormenting a beast. Truly, he had no conscience left…
“Woof…” The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was filled with regret. How had things come to this? It looked at the human before it and let out a mournful howl.
Lin Fan took out a mid-grade longsword from his backpack and looked at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound with a hint of reluctance.
“Brother Dog, today’s favor will be repaid in the future.”
“Ding, killed Innate Tier 1 Fierce Beast: Devouring Moon Demon Hound.”
“Ding, +5000 experience.”
“Ding, dropped low-tier skill ‘Black Tiger Plucks the Heart.'”
…
As dawn approached, Lin Fan was wide awake. He stared at the bound beast tied spread-eagle to the tree.
Its fur was pitch black, except for a patch of snow-white fur on its belly. Hmm, it was a male.
“The morning sets the tone for the day. Since you came to me willingly, I might as well use you for some practice.” Lin Fan stretched his neck, warming up.
The beast stared at Lin Fan, its heart pounding. What was this human planning? Why did its gaze seem even more sinister than his own?
“Woof!” The beast barked fiercely, warning the human not to get too bold.
Lin Fan approached the beast, his eyes fixed on its lower body. Taking a deep breath, he prepared himself.
“Time to begin training…”
Under the beast’s murderous glare, Lin Fan moved. His movements were simple yet fluid. Though he only used one technique, it gradually embodied the essence of simplicity in martial arts.
“Monkey Steals the Peach!”
“Woof!!”
A piercing scream echoed through the forest.
“Ding! Congratulations! +500 experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach.'”
At that moment, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction. As he had suspected, the “Monkey Steals the Peach” technique was a divine skill—any male creature in existence would suffer critical damage.
“Monkey Steals the Peach!”
“Ding! Congratulations! +500 experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach.'”
“Woof!!”
Lin Fan then embarked on a shameless experience-grinding spree.
The Moon-Devouring Demon Hound trembled violently, its once-fierce gaze turning bewildered and regretful. Its agonized howls made it clear—it was enduring unbearable pain.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the dense canopy and fell upon Lin Fan’s face, he glanced at his status panel. The “Monkey Steals the Peach” technique had gained over forty thousand experience points—just over ten thousand more needed for the next level.
Lin Fan patted his hands together, calling it a day. He looked at the beast and sighed softly. To gain experience, he had even targeted animals—truly a despicable act.
“Woof…” The beast howled in despair, regretting everything that had happened. It stared at Lin Fan with a mournful cry.
Lin Fan retrieved a mid-grade longsword from his bag, giving the beast a reluctant glance.
“Brother Dog, today’s favor shall be repaid in the future.”
In the forest, it was pitch black, with occasional terrifying sounds echoing through the darkness. Although Lin Fan was fearless by nature, he couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy in this eerie forest. If a ghost suddenly appeared, it would surely be a heart-stopping moment.
“After walking for several hours, I’m far enough from the Holy Demon Sect. I can rest well now and continue north tomorrow,” Lin Fan thought. He found a spot, spread some leaves on the ground, and lay down, closing his eyes to get some proper rest.
As for whether the forest was dangerous, Lin Fan wasn’t sure. Back in the sect, he had heard some rumors. It was said that this forest was perilous… but without experiencing it firsthand, he couldn’t truly understand where the danger lay.
Rustle, rustle…
The surroundings were quiet. Lin Fan lay under a massive tree, breathing softly. In the dark bushes nearby, a pair of crimson eyes flashed by.
Those crimson eyes were filled with ferocity and bloodlust, but Lin Fan, deep in sleep, was unaware that danger was gradually approaching.
The owner of those crimson eyes was a fierce beast. The beast stood half the height of a man, with a tail like a horse’s, powerful hooves, sharp curved claws, and two tufts of red hair standing upright on its back. Its row of sharp teeth seemed capable of tearing apart anything in its path.
Its face, however, somewhat resembled a dog’s.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was a common fierce beast around the Holy Demon Sect. Any disciple below the Innate Realm who encountered it would surely meet their doom.
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound’s hooves pressed firmly against the ground, its crimson eyes greedily fixed on the human sleeping under the tree.
It had just had an intense “exchange” with a beautiful Devouring Moon Demon Hound under the moonlight, and its energy was drained. When it caught the scent of a human, it didn’t hesitate to follow it.
Though fierce beasts were brutal and bloodthirsty, they weren’t entirely mindless.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound observed in the darkness for a while, its keen nose being its primary tool for detecting enemies.
It could discern the strength of its prey from their scent.
After sniffing Lin Fan for a full minute, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound concluded that this was a free meal delivered right to its doorstep.
The beast slowly inched forward, and when it was just a few steps away from its prey, its hind legs bent, and it pounced fiercely.
“Clang…”
The sharp teeth of the Devouring Moon Demon Hound sank into the chest of its prey, but to its astonishment, something unexpected happened.
A crisp sound rang out, causing the beast’s teeth to chatter.
How could this be? In the past, its prey would feel soft and tender when bitten, but what was happening now?
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound was furious. Its teeth, which could tear through anything, couldn’t even rip apart a human. This was a disgrace.
I bite.
I bite.
I bite, bite, bite…
“Ding, congratulations! +1000 experience for ‘Indestructible Demon Body.'”
“Ding, congratulations! +1000 experience for ‘Indestructible Demon Body.'”
…
The system’s notifications kept coming, and Lin Fan, deep in sleep, felt like his brain was about to explode from the noise.
“Enough already!” Lin Fan sat up, annoyed. When he opened his eyes and saw the creature in front of him, he was stunned.
Where did this dog come from?
“Ding, discovered Innate Realm Tier 1 fierce beast: Devouring Moon Demon Hound.”
Lin Fan was taken aback. He had heard of fierce beasts before. When he became an outer sect disciple, the sect had provided a manual that introduced these creatures.
They were beings that lived in the Profound Yellow Realm, known for their ferocity and brutality. Even the weakest of them were at the Innate Realm, and due to their innate advantages, humans of the same cultivation level were no match for them.
At that moment, the Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew even more aggressive, biting Lin Fan’s arm and refusing to let go, as if it was determined to fight to the death.
“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound, noticing that the human had woken up, growled menacingly.
Lin Fan blinked at the beast, surprised that its bites were actually increasing his ‘Indestructible Demon Body’ experience. However, the beast’s saliva was disgustingly foul.
“Woof, woof…”
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound grew even angrier. Its black tail suddenly burst into black flames, as if it intended to burn the human alive.
“Head-on brick strike!”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled out the divine artifact “Nine-Five Red Brick” from his backpack and smacked it against the beast’s forehead.
The once-ferocious Devouring Moon Demon Hound instantly fell into a dazed state.
Lin Fan shook his body, realizing how dangerous the situation had been. His habit of sleeping too deeply hadn’t changed, and it could have cost him his life.
Dragging the Devouring Moon Demon Hound by its leg, Lin Fan searched for vines. At the very least, he had secured breakfast for the next day.
As he searched for vines, whenever the Devouring Moon Demon Hound showed signs of waking from its daze, Lin Fan would smack its forehead with the brick again.
…
When the Devouring Moon Demon Hound finally regained consciousness, it saw Lin Fan’s face and let out a furious roar, wanting to tear him apart. However, it soon realized that its limbs were immobilized.
“Stop barking. You’re tied to a tree. Do you think you can move?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but admire nature’s ingenuity. The vines he had found were incredibly sturdy; even with his Innate Realm strength, he couldn’t tear them apart.
As the sky gradually brightened, Lin Fan’s sleepiness vanished. He examined the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, which was now tied to the tree with its limbs spread wide.
Its body was covered in black fur, but its belly was snow-white. Huh, it was a male.
“The morning is the best time for practice. Since you’ve delivered yourself to me, I’ll use you for training,” Lin Fan said, twisting his neck to warm up.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound watched the human, its heart pounding. What was this human planning? Why did his gaze seem even more sinister than its own?
“Woof, woof…” The beast growled, warning the human not to push his luck.
Lin Fan approached the Devouring Moon Demon Hound, his eyes fixed on the area between its hind legs. He took a deep breath.
“Time to train…”
Under the beast’s fierce gaze, Lin Fan moved. His movements were natural and fluid, embodying the principle of simplicity in complexity.
“Monkey Steals the Peach…”
“Woof…”
A heart-wrenching howl echoed through the forest.
“Ding, congratulations! +500 experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach.'”
At the system’s prompt, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction. As he had suspected, ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ was a divine skill. Any male creature in the world would suffer a fatal blow from it.
“Monkey Steals the Peach.”
“Ding, congratulations! +500 experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach.'”
“Woof…”
Lin Fan then embarked on an unscrupulous path of grinding experience.
The Devouring Moon Demon Hound trembled all over, its fierce eyes now filled with confusion and regret. The continuous, agonizing howls indicated the beast’s immense suffering.
The sky gradually brightened. A ray of morning sunlight pierced through the dense leaves, shining on Lin Fan’s face.
Lin Fan checked his personal panel. The experience for ‘Monkey Steals the Peach’ had reached over 40,000, with just over 10,000 left to level up.
Lin Fan clapped his hands, signaling the end of today’s session. He glanced at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound and sighed. For the sake of experience, he had even stooped to tormenting a beast. Truly, he had no conscience left…
“Woof…” The Devouring Moon Demon Hound was filled with regret. How had things come to this? It let out a mournful howl as it looked at the human.
Lin Fan took out a mid-grade longsword from his backpack and gazed at the Devouring Moon Demon Hound with a hint of reluctance.
“Brother Dog, I will repay your kindness in the future.”
“Ding, killed Innate Realm Tier 1 fierce beast: Devouring Moon Demon Hound.”
“Ding, +5000 experience.”
“Ding, dropped low-tier skill ‘Black Tiger Plucks the Heart.'”
…
“Ding! Experience +5000.”
“Ding! Dropped a low-tier technique: ‘Black Tiger Strikes the Heart.’”
