Amidst the darkness, the city never ceased to echo with screams of agony.
People were being pulled out of building after building by the demon apes and quickly devoured into bones and debris.
That night, this city became hell for humanity.
Dawn arrived.
The demon apes retreated like a tidal wave.
The foul smell of the city had significantly diminished with the disappearance of the corpses.
However, the smell of blood became even stronger!
Because more people have died.
That night, Lu Yu did not sleep at all.
Because the screams in the city are like hellish music, never ceasing at night.
Some six-story buildings had already been visited by the demon apes, leaving no living souls behind.
It seems that the magic ape is only interested in human flesh and blood, showing no interest in cats, dogs, or similar animals.
Therefore, more people die in cities.
Not until the sun rose did the city begin to calm down somewhat.
However, Lu Yu didn’t think this was a good start at all. Because today, the demon ape could devour all the residents below the sixth floor, and tomorrow it would move to higher floors.
Especially today, the demon ape retreated later in the morning than before, and its active time during the day has been increasing.
Before long, the world will belong to the魔猿 both day and night.
After a large number of demon apes retreated into the darkness, Lu Yu soon noticed several monsters walking around the central area of the city.
Leading the way were six or seven magic apes. Each of these apes was holding several black stones of varying sizes close to their chests.
Behind the magic ape was another monster.
This monster was also three meters tall, wielding a stone club, with a wolf’s head and a human body.
It walked at the very back, carrying a stone club on its shoulder like a cruel overseer. The club was nearly two meters long, with the thickest part at the front as wide as a human thigh, gradually tapering toward the rear, which was still as thick as a calf. Dried blood and bits of flesh were stuck to the surface of the stone club.
The werewolf strutted with an air of arrogance, occasionally letting out a wolf howl to urge the ape demon to move faster.
It seems as if the city belongs to them, not to humans.
Lu Yu had a clear view from the rooftop.
This was the second time he had seen the wolf-headed creature since that night.
It’s the second time seeing the Spirit Star Stone since yesterday.
These should be uncracked Star Spirit ores.
A total of seven magic apes, each holding at least six pieces of ore in their hands.
If we can defeat these monsters!
Lu Yu’s heart stirred with excitement. Those ores could probably yield at least three or four Star Sprites each.
Moreover, the demon ape should not be able to harm him.
However, since the Wolflord can control the魔猿, it must be somewhat stronger.
Adventure to take down the wolf monster, and the rest will be simple.
Lu Yu calculated his attack power.
The base attack power increased to 150, the shield added 50 attack power, and the Silver Blade contributed an additional 100 attack power. His total attack power had now reached a high of 300.
His physical strength and stamina had already reached 210 points, which was not weak at all.
As for the werewolf, he had absolutely no idea what to expect.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, gripped the silver blade, and rushed downstairs.
Without taking risks, one will never know the power of the Wolf-headed Monster.
There were still dozens of Star Spirit Ore chunks lying right in front of him. Such a small fortune was simply too good to pass up!
Lu Yu rushed downstairs, just in time to see the wolf-headed creature and the magic ape pass by the front of the building, having walked no more than one hundred meters beyond it.
Lu Yu, familiar with the city’s layout, quickly took a detour through a nearby alley to pursue the target.
Five minutes later, he appeared at a fork in the road on the street where the Wolf-headed Beast and the Demon Ape had passed.
Within two minutes, the wolf monster and the magic ape had already strutted past Lu Yu.
“Howl.” The wolf-headed creature suddenly let out a cry and stopped.
Then, the wolf-headed creature sniffed hard, as if it had caught the scent of fresh blood and flesh. It gripped its stone club and started walking toward Lu Yu.
It walked along, licking its lips and teeth with its crimson tongue.
Its sense of smell is even keener than that of the魔猿.
Lu Yu hid in the corner, gripping the silver blade in his hand even tighter, while reaching a conclusion about the werewolf.
The more you learn about these monsters, the easier it will be to deal with them in the future.
Every battle is also an accumulation of experience for Lu Yu.
…
The werewolf drew closer to Lu Yu, its wolf eyes narrowing as if in a smile.
Lu Yu felt something was wrong and couldn’t shake a sense of unease.
The werewolf was already within five meters of where Lu Yu was hiding.
Come closer!
Lu Yu was in the darkness, his eyes seemingly gleaming with a glowing light.
The werewolf drew even closer.
When the distance between them had closed to about four meters, Lu Yu was just about to move when he saw a flash of ferocious light in the wolf-headed creature’s eyes.
“Roar!”
The wolf-headed creature moved first. With a single step, it had already raised its stone club high into the air.
A stone club as thick as a human leg smashed toward Lu Yu’s head, creating a “wooshing” sound as it swung through the air.
“F*** your old man,” Lu Yu said. When he saw the cunning gleam in the wolf monster’s eyes and its grin that looked almost like a smile, he immediately understood.
This wolf creature possesses a certain level of intelligence, and it seems quite high.
It approached him quietly, pretending to be a wild beast, clearly intending to catch Lu Yu off guard.
This is not something an ordinary beast could accomplish.
The stone club had already smashed down onto Lu Yu’s head.
All Lu Yu could do was retreat.
The stone club came too fast. When Lu Yu had just risen and stepped back half a meter, the club whistled past his nose and smashed into the ground.
The thick stone pavement was shattered into cracks, and Lu Yu’s nose was grazed by the whistling wind of a stone rod.
“Taking damage, losing ten points of health.”
As the data appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes, the werewolf had already started chasing him with huge steps.
“Buzz!”
The stone staff swung around, generating a chilling gust of wind as it swept horizontally toward Lu Yu’s waist.
Lu Yu raised his hand, gripping the silver blade, and placed it against the stone pillar.
Bang!
The silver blade and the stone club clashed together, emitting a grating “squeak, squeak” as they rubbed against each other.
The werewolf didn’t expect that this human’s strength could be so great, able to withstand his stone club attack. The silver blade was pressed down by the stone club, bending continuously as if it were about to break at any moment.
Immediately afterwards, the werewolf let out a fierce howl, and the power behind the club surged dramatically.
Boom!
Lu Yu’s body was swept into the air by the stone rod, slammed heavily against the wall behind him, and then bounced onto the ground.
The body of the wolf demon also took a big step backward, and the stone club dragged on the ground, leaving a several-meter-long mark.
“So soon?” The wolf creature seemed to want to say something, its tone filled with disbelief and surprise. But in the end, it merely looked at Lu Yu in astonishment without speaking further…
“It can talk.” Lu Yu got up from the ground, looking at the wolf monster in astonishment. At the same time, countless blue symbols were constructing the wolf monster’s data within his mind.
“The data reconstruction is complete.”
“Devil Wolf, Level: One. Vitality: 500 points. Maximum Life: 500. Attack Power: 135 points. Strength: 500 points.”
“Note: Although the Wolf Demon is a Level 1 life form, it already possesses a certain level of human intelligence, and its body also has room for growth. Once fully grown, the Wolf Demon becomes extremely terrifying. They are born with the ability to dominate Magic Apes. Their powerful attacks and vitality give them an absolute, overwhelming advantage among the Magic Apes. If you don’t possess absolute strength, do not provoke the Magic Apes—they will devour you until not even a single bone fragment remains.”
A string of data flashed through Lu Yu’s mind, like a knife cutting into his flesh.
The Demon Ape has no level; he is not easy to deal with.
This wolf demon is actually a Level 1 monster—so even it has a level!
Moreover—
“This damn thing takes five hundred health and five hundred stamina. How am I supposed to fight?” Lu Yu sucked in a breath sharply.
I wanted to take a risk, but it seems like I’ve hit a brick wall.
Especially when the wolf demon spoke a sentence that nearly choked Lu Yu.
A creature with a wolf’s head and a human body is strange enough to begin with. Now it’s actually speaking—this is truly astonishing.
After a few seconds of stunned hesitation, the Demon Ape suddenly grabbed a stone club and lunged toward Lu Yu.
Lu Yu exerted force with both feet, pushing hard against the ground. At the same time, the silver blade traced a crescent-shaped arc overhead, once again colliding with the stone club.
Bang!
The silver blade was deflected slightly by the stone staff, which then continued straight toward Lu Yu’s head without any hindrance.
“Damn it!” Lu Yu watched the stone club coming down, dodged sideways, and saw it smash into the ground right in front of him again.
If the confrontation of attack power was simply a matter of who had the higher value, then the Wolf Demon’s attack power exceeded his. However, this was only slightly the case. Among the three basic attributes, his attack power was the weakest, only 135 points. In terms of base attack power, he could easily defeat his opponent. Yet, the Wolf Demon’s attack power surpassed his. Where did such powerful attack strength come from?
Boom!
As Lu Yu’s thoughts flickered, the wolf demon raised a leg and kicked him, sending him flying through the air.
“Warning, under attack, health points reduced by twenty.”
Although the kick from Lang Mo wasn’t too heavy, it landed precisely on Lu Yu’s ribs, making him feel as if he had been winded.
“Human, just乖乖be food. Do you think your resistance has any meaning?” The wolf demon strode closer, swinging the stone club in his hand once again.
“Who said humans are nothing but food?” Lu Yu laughed, and suddenly sprang up with both hands pushing against the ground.
At the moment Lu Yu jumped up, the silver blade in his hand swept toward the wolf demon’s neck once again.
“Have you gone mad?” the wolf demon laughed loudly. “You’re no match for me at all.”
The stone club in the wolf demon’s hand swung up, whistling through the air as it swept toward Lu Yu’s body once again.
However, this time Lu Yu suddenly lowered his body, allowing the stone club to graze his back, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.
“Warning, under attack, health points reduced by thirty.”
Crimson blood trickled down Lu Yu’s back, staining his clothes, while the metallic scent of blood surged into the wolf demon’s nose.
Lu Yu’s footsteps were somewhat unsteady, as if he had sustained serious injuries. His figure staggered and fell toward the ground.
“Fresh blood and flesh, this is truly the most delicious.” The wolf demon’s eyes also began to glow with a reddish hue.
The wolf demon lifted its leg and brought it down toward Lu Yu’s head.
“The difference between people and you is that you’re just too stupid.” Lu Yu, who was about to fall flat on the ground, suddenly pressed both hands onto the floor. In an instant, he sprang back up again.
Just as the wolf demon’s leg came down, Lu Yu’s silver blade swept across its Achilles tendon. As the blade gleamed, two layers of light suddenly passed through the demon’s ankle.
“Au!” The wolf demon let out a fierce howl as, in an instant, its heel was severed, leaving only bone and skin connected. The tendons and muscles were all completely cut through.
“Silver Blade attacks, dealing 10 points of life damage.”
“Triggered the special effect of the Silver Blade, dealing double damage and reducing Wolf Demon’s health by 20 points.”
The wolf demon’s strength and toughness reached five hundred, far surpassing Lu Yu’s attack power of three hundred.
This strike was nothing more than the kind of damage a wolf demon could inflict with a casual swing of its club.
“What a despicable human!” the wolf demon roared, and in an instant, the foot lost all its supporting strength.
Lu Yu did not answer. The tip of the silver blade in his hand suddenly lifted upward at the heel of the wolf demon, the sharp edge slicing through the skin, following the muscles of the calf upward, then the thigh, and continuing all the way up the back.
Where the silver ruler passed, large chunks of muscle split open, revealing the pale white bones beneath.
In an instant, the silver blade slashed upward from the ankle, cutting out from the back of the wolf demon’s neck.
The wound left by this slash was three meters long, with skin and flesh turned outward, and a large amount of blood gushed out.
Sting, even more pain!
The wolf demon felt as if the flesh and blood on his back no longer belonged to him. Besides the pain, he could even sense the cold wind brushing against his bones.
The sustained damage from this slash instantly reduced the wolf demon’s life by one hundred points.
“Roar!” The wolf demon turned around, and at that moment, the wound on his ankle was the first to heal. It discarded the stone club, seemingly reverting into a wild beast, and clamped both hands onto Lu Yu’s shoulders, its fangs sinking deeply into Lu Yu’s neck.
“You’re the fool.” Lu Yu, seeing a large chunk of flesh torn from his neck by the wolf demon, was unafraid and instead burst into laughter.
“You shouldn’t have approached me,” Lu Yu said with a smile. Blood spurted from the wound on his carotid artery, instantly reducing his health by nearly one hundred points, but such an injury was not yet fatal.
The wolf demon tore large chunks of flesh from Lu Yu’s body and swallowed them whole.
If the werewolf just now still had a trace of humanity, then the current one has absolutely no humanity left and has become a true beast.
Blood trickled from the corner of the wolf demon’s mouth. Just as he lowered his head again, a blade pressed against his throat and pierced straight into his brain, bursting through the top of his skull.
“So, the fool will always be you,” Lu Yu sneered, twisting the silver blade in his hand and slicing off half of the wolf demon’s head.
The wolf demon, now headless, released its grip on Lu Yu’s shoulders. Its three-meter-tall body, having lost its support, collapsed to the ground in an instant.
Monsters will always be monsters; even with human intelligence, it’s still not enough.
If the wolf demon doesn’t come after me, I’ll surely end up being toyed with until death.
But if you get close enough yourself, you’ll have a one hundred percent chance of killing it.
Rank sometimes doesn’t change anything.
As the wolf demon fell to the ground, a faint blue light flickered at the center of its forehead, on the half of the face that had been severed.
Then, a light blue Star Spirit Pearl fell down.
“Mutated Zergling Pearl?”
Lu Yu inhaled sharply, staring at the wolf demon.
This is a wolf demon with skills. Just now, I quickly ended the battle and saved my life.
If the Wolf Demon gets a chance to use his skills, I’m definitely done for.
Just as Lu Yu picked up the Spirit Pearl, he noticed the two-meter-long stone club beside the wolf demon.
This is a stone rod that is thick at the front and tapers toward the back. It appears to be made from a single piece of bluish rock, smoothed and shaped, with many sharp edges and corners still visible on its surface.
Thinking about how the stone rod had barely left a mark on the silver blade earlier, he guessed that this was no ordinary rock either.
Lu Yu reached out with one hand to grab the stone rod and found it somewhat heavy. If measured in jin, it must weigh at least two hundred jin. In the past, it was difficult for him to even lift it. But now, he was actually able to pick it up.
He couldn’t help but use both hands to grab the stone rod. Only then could he swing it more easily. At this moment, Lu Yu became even more convinced that attack power might be related to strength, which allowed him to lift something weighing around two hundred jin with such ease.
At the moment the stone rod landed in his hand, he suddenly noticed words flickering on the top of the stone rod.
…
Demon Wolf Club:
Level: Grade 1. (Can be upgraded three times.)
Restriction: Can only be used when the base attack power reaches 130 points.
Attribute: Increases attack power by 150 points, and increases stamina by 100 points.
Special Effect: If the enemy is hit on the front, it will cause an additional one second of dizziness to the enemy and deal an extra 30 points of damage.
…
“No way,” Lu Yu stared at the stone rod, unable to see how this stick could possibly be a star weapon.
But attributes don’t lie.
Increases 150 attack power, adds 100 to vitality, and allows one more upgrade compared to the Silver Blade.
Take a look at the special effects again. Lu Yu was relieved that the Wolf Demon hadn’t hit him directly.
If I get hit one more time, I’ll definitely be instantly killed by the wolf demon’s club again.
However, now the Wolf Demon Rod belongs to him.
Lu Yu, carrying a two-meter-long Wolf Demon staff on his shoulder, seemed somewhat out of place.
However, Lu Yu didn’t care about any of that.
Forget about whether it’s good-looking or not, or if it’s cool or not. All that crap doesn’t matter.
During this period, it was enough to just stay alive.
When Lu Yu turned his head, he discovered that the seven demon apes had not moved. Instead, they were kneeling there, touching the ground with their heads, trembling violently.
“What’s going on here?” Lu Yu said, puzzled, staring at the monstrous ape.
When did the ferocious魔猿 develop such an attitude toward humans?
The demon apes seemed to notice Lu Yu watching them, each one holding a star spirit stone ore high above their heads.
“You, your.” The demons spoke in human tongues, shocking Lu Yu as if struck by thunder.
Even the demon ape can speak.
He thought the demon ape couldn’t speak, but it seemed he had underestimated it, or perhaps the world was changing too quickly.
Not only can he speak, but he does so clearly. However, the voice of the Demon Ape is hoarse and somewhat unpleasant to hear.
“You can talk?” Lu Yu stared at the magic ape, his stone club planted firmly on the ground.
With a deafening boom, the ground trembled and shook.
The seven magical apes became even more frightened, lowering their heads and their hands trembling.
“Yes, yes!” the demon apes answered together.
“Why are you afraid of me?” Lu Yu is human, and should clearly be the prey for monsters.
As a result, things have now turned around, and these monsters are actually afraid of him, which seems a bit unreasonable.
“You… you killed the leader,” the terrified reply came from the demon ape.
Lu Yu gradually inquired and finally learned the information about the Demon Ape.
They emerge from the darkness, yet they are merely the lowest level of monsters. They know only to awaken from the darkness, and their sole purposes are to feed and to obey.
Wolves are more powerful than apes, and they have absolute dominance over the apes.
However, among the monsters, there is a belief that the strong are superior and deserve respect.
Therefore, whoever can kill the leader must be even more powerful than the leader.
Whoever they are, they make others feel wary.
Therefore, they are afraid of Lu Yu.
Of course, what surprised Lu Yu was that the Star Spirit Stone mine was very special; weapons or violence could not damage the Star Spirit Stone at all. Among the monsters, only a few were capable of mining this type of ore.
And the Demon Ape is one of them. Even monsters like the Wolf Demon cannot chip off even a tiny fragment of the Star Spirit Stone mine, no matter how lowly the demon creature is; they are like miners and the lowest-ranking soldiers.
As for other matters, these demon apes no longer knew anything about them.
Their wisdom is limited, and they do not know much.
After learning all this, a thought immediately flashed through Lu Yu’s mind.
“So what you’re saying is, as long as we defeat the leader wolf demon, the魔猿 controlled by the wolf demon will recognize the person who killed it as their new leader?”
