34: Section 34

Although Lin Yi found it a bit strange, he didn't think too much about it.

He turned back and counted the stops; he would get off in three more stops.

Once he got home, he planned to open the new mission he had received yesterday.

To see the target and content of the mission...

Whoosh—

Another wave of chill crept up the back of Lin Yi's neck and onto his scalp.

In an instant, he felt as if his scalp was about to explode.

Lin Yi hurriedly turned his head to look.

Sitting behind him was a young man whose appearance was unclear.

No, to be precise, it was a student.

He was wearing a blue and white school uniform; it was unknown which school it belonged to.

He was slightly bowing his head, wearing a baseball cap.

The brim was pulled very low, obscuring his entire face.

Just as Lin Yi relaxed his vigilance slightly and was about to turn back,

suddenly, several talent tags appeared above the student's head.

[Tier 4 Snake Demon: A Yao Beast that has transformed after a hundred years of Cultivation.]

[Bronze Muscles and Iron Bones (Blue): Tendons like bronze, bones like iron, possessing impressive defensive power]

[Iron Fist (Blue): Fists like iron, Strength +5%]

[Snake Step (Blue): Flexible footwork, difficult to accurately track its movements]

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and turned back to sit properly as if nothing had happened.

No wonder that person behind him could appear behind him silently.

And it also brought a feeling of icy coldness.

So it was a Snake Demon?

Ever since Lin Yi's ability was enhanced,

and he could distinguish their Martial Arts Realm and whether they were human or a Yao Beast when seeing their tags,

it had become much more convenient for Lin Yi.

In the future, when encountering humans or Yao Beasts, it would be easier to distinguish them.

But why would this Snake Demon appear on the bus?

And why was it sitting behind him?

"Could it be that I have become its target?"

Lin Yi thought to himself; having had a few experiences with Monster Hunting,

Lin Yi's mindset had already become increasingly mature.

He would not panic like before.

Instead, he could calmly think of countermeasures.

A few minutes later, the bus arrived at the stop.

Lin Yi picked up his schoolbag and stood up. When he walked towards the back door,

he glanced at the Snake Demon out of the corner of his eye.

However, the Snake Demon sat there without moving an inch.

Still bowing its head, the brim of its hat obscuring its entire face.

Lin Yi frowned. Was it not here for him?

Did it just want to ride the bus for a few stops?

Until the bus stopped completely and the back door opened,

Lin Yi walked off the bus...

When the bus slowly drove away, Lin Yi looked up at the bus window.

Suddenly, the Snake Demon, which had been bowing its head, abruptly looked up and also looked at Lin Yi outside the bus window.

A terrifying and eerie snake face, a pair of vertical pupils flashing with demonic light.

It even flicked its tongue out, sizing up Lin Yi as if in provocation.

In an instant, Lin Yi was shocked.

So the Snake Demon had already noticed him?

And that look it just gave him carried a hint of mockery and indifference.

It even had the feeling of a hunter sizing up its prey.

A chill shot straight up his spine to the top of his head.

Lin Yi furrowed his brows slightly, watching the bus gradually disappear into the night.

As a result, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He carried his schoolbag and walked back towards his residential complex.

...He arrived home.

Liu Hongmei and Lin Yu were not there; they had gone to the Martial Arts Hall for tutoring.

Only Lin Dazhi was at home. Just as Lin Yi opened the door and entered,

he actually walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

Seeing it was Lin Yi, he smiled uncharacteristically and said: "Son, you're back? Go wash your hands and rest for a bit. Dinner will be ready soon!"

Lin Dazhi's abnormality startled Lin Yi slightly.

Is this still Lin Dazhi?

The man who became a wicked stepfather after marrying a stepmother?

Today, not only did he cook himself, but his attitude had also undergone a 180-degree change?

Once upon a time, in Lin Yi's memory,

there had never been any memory related to the Lin Dazhi before him.

Since he had memories, Lin Dazhi had always had a gloomy face.

Later, after marrying Liu Hongmei, all his gentleness, smiles, and responsibility,

were all given to Liu Hongmei and Lin Yu.

For his own son, Lin Yi, he was stingy with even a single smile.

But today, he was like a different person... When things are unusual, there's always something fishy.

Lin Dazhi was a bit off tonight.

Lin Yi returned to his room and put away his schoolbag.

He changed into a set of sportswear.

Ever since the school stopped forcing students participating in the Martial Arts Exam to attend classes,

homework for cultural classes had also been directly waived.

It was just not to add extra burden to the students, so they could wholeheartedly prepare for the Martial Arts Exam.

Therefore, Lin Yi had no homework.

He didn't leave the room immediately.

Instead, he opened the mission file bag he had brought back yesterday.

[Mission Target: Cat Demon]

[Target Realm: 1-Star]

[Sin Index: 4-Star]

[Crimes Committed: Hunting children, 12 children have been devoured]

[Mission Requirements: Hunt or capture it within a 3-day deadline]

[Mission Reward: 25,000 yuan, 1 bottle of Low Grade Blood Qi Powder, 15 Monster Hunting points]

Chapter 31: Escorting goods, risking your life to make money? (Seeking collections and follows)

[Points Card: The more missions completed, the more points accumulated, which can be used to exchange for items]

Lin Yi finished reading the mission information.

And the topographical map of where the Cat Demon was more active.

He took out the points card.

The points card was entirely black, with a blood-stained knife on the front.

The back contained a brief introduction to the points card.

In other words, completing a mission would earn points.

The points obtained would be directly credited into this card.

After previously completing the mission to hunt the Dog Demon,

Lin Yi had received 10 points.
