108: Kill Commander-level

The purpose of the Clone was not to participate in combat, but to carry Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan couldn't operate Old Hei's illusion like he gave commands to Old Hei. If Old Hei had to be distracted controlling the illusion, it would be a pure negative effect.

So, Lin Chuan simply let the illusion take off, shrinking it to about ten meters, to serve as a mobile aerial fortress.

Only Lin Chuan could come up with such a bold maneuver.

Now, Old Hei could attack without reservation.

With its fangs broken and its poisonous mist immune, what was left of the poisonous snake? It was just a pure punching bag, wasn't it?

Under Old Hei's continuous Taunt and powerful blows, the giant snake finally wanted to escape.

How could a dignified Commander Rank Yao Beast ever suffer such humiliation?

There was nothing it could do; it was simply completely countered.

Its only advantage was that a Commander Rank Yao Beast had better physical quality, allowing it to withstand several of Old Hei's ultimate moves.

As for whether it was truly an advantage, it was hard to say now; the longer it lived, the more it suffered.

With Lin Chuan providing support from the air, where could the giant snake possibly run?

Finally, during its last Taunt, the giant snake ended up crashing into itself and dying.

In fact, Lin Chuan felt that the Taunt's effect wasn't that significant; the giant snake simply wanted to die and not be tormented any further.

If this continued, it would become another Soul-twisted Gray Snake.

Old Hei carried the giant snake's corpse, as if wearing a necklace, and returned to the snake pit.

Lin Chuan also slowly descended.

This tactical approach achieved Perfection.

However, there was a bit too much loss of flesh and blood.

Hundreds of snakes ultimately yielded less than 300 enhancement fruits, though there were 800 red skill fruits.

After all, the crystal cores were all intact.

The giant snake's corpse was tattered, its fangs broken; there was no use keeping it, so it was directly absorbed.

A dozen or so enhancement fruits were negligible; what was important was the rank fruit with a 4% effect.

Lin Chuan ate it directly, increasing his Commander Rank exemption to 56%.

For Commander Rank Yao Beasts, every small step of Lin Chuan's progress was a disaster for them.

Old Hei's advancement fruit surged to 20%, while Little Ling's was negligible.

The second death fruit had matured to 32%, just around the corner... Lin Chuan's lunch was an Elite Rank avian Yao Beast.

Inside its nest were several Yao Beast eggs, but their potential was very low, only Elite Rank.

This made Lin Chuan think of Little Yellow, his 'bird son' outside the city. He wondered how it was doing.

Unfortunately, none of these Yao Beast eggs were about to hatch, so Lin Chuan simply had his bracelet collect them.

Each egg was worth 20 points. It wasn't easy to get points from Lin Chuan, so it was considered Lin Chuan's contribution to Xuanwu City... In the afternoon, the livestream continued.

Someone had already started a betting pool, wagering on whether Lin Chuan had killed a Commander Rank Yao Beast.

However, it didn't involve money, only virtual points.

90% of the people leaned towards him not having done so, which was quite reasonable.

It was normal for Lin Chuan to withstand a Commander Rank Yao Beast's attack, but a counter-kill would be difficult.

Not to mention his terrifyingly low attack power, wouldn't a Commander Rank Yao Beast just run away?

Most people in the livestream believed that Lin Chuan felt he couldn't kill it, which was why he directly closed the livestream, to avoid trying in vain and becoming a laughingstock.

Lin Chuan's audience had come to understand that this guy was a killing machine; he was either killing Yao Beasts or on his way to find them.

He didn't mind if there was only one, nor if there were dozens, and he even dared to challenge a Commander Rank Yao Beast!

It wasn't until a rumor spread that Lin Chuan's parents had both died in a Yao Beast rampage that everyone seemed to truly understand why Lin Chuan 'hated' Yao Beasts so much, making killing them almost his sole activity.

Even precious medicinal herbs and Ores underfoot were ignored; his only focus was on killing Yao Beasts...

"Wuwuwu... Lin Chuan is too pitiful," a female fan couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I wonder how he's managed all these years..."

The atmosphere in the livestream inexplicably turned strange.

If Lin Chuan knew, he would surely spit out a mouthful of old blood several meters away.

Damn it, I'm just normally killing Yao Beasts, and I'm being subjected to such wild speculation. Is there no justice?

...Just like that, two and a half days passed in the outside world.

Meanwhile, more than ten days had passed inside the Secret Realm.

Lin Chuan had stopped hunting Yao Beasts two days ago.

There was nothing he could do; most of the surrounding Yao Beasts had been killed. Going any further would require moving to a new base.

This place was good, and Lin Chuan didn't want to move for now.

Moreover, Lin Chuan's second death fruit had long since matured, and over three thousand enhancement fruits were waiting for Lin Chuan to spend.

After a lifetime of fighting, it was time to enjoy himself.

Beside him were piles of inexhaustible spirit fruits, plundered from a monkey tribe. Unfortunately, there was no monkey wine.

Besides, the audience was also tired of it.

Some old hunters hadn't killed this many Yao Beasts in their entire lives.

This was truly a pure hatred for Yao Beasts; even those with little value couldn't escape their fate of being killed.

Now, it was quite good; even if Lin Chuan lay there doing nothing, his fans could watch with relish.

Lin Chuan was now a rising star making waves in Xuanwu City.

His points hadn't dropped from the top spot since the first day, firmly suppressing Long Chenhao.

Although Long Chenhao was also searching for and killing Yao Beasts, he didn't act as freely as Lin Chuan.

Commander Rank Yao Beasts still posed a certain threat to Long Chenhao.

Even if his two Beast Companions could defeat some low-star Commander Rank Yao Beasts together, he would expend a lot of energy and might even get injured, which was completely unnecessary.

He just needed to be careful, not provoke Commander Rank Yao Beasts, and steadily earn points. Long Chenhao didn't believe anyone could surpass him.

Initially, the outside world thought the same, but unfortunately...

Current point rankings:

First place: Lin Chuan 43674

Second place: Long Chenhao 15893

Third place: Xia Siye 10763

...This was still with Lin Chuan having barely turned in any spoils of war; otherwise, the gap would only be larger.

"Thankfully, Lin Chuan, that killing machine, is tired of killing, so Young Master Long still has a chance."

Long Chenhao's fans secretly prayed, not daring to openly express such sentiments, fearing ridicule... Lin Chuan's attention had long been focused on his sea of consciousness space.

With a flicker of thought, all the enhancement fruits transformed into limit fruits, totaling 34.

Nothing much to say; all commonly used skills were maxed out.

Except for Limit Will, the others were all sufficient.

Is it abnormal? Just a tiny bit.

It's a Divine Beast Xuanwu Bloodline after all, and its current maximum size is only 600 meters.

Compared to the Kunpeng, a Divine Beast thousands of miles long, it's just a drop in the ocean...
