114: How are the protagonists supposed to survive with a villain like you? (Rating released, thank you everyone)

A few days later.

"Finally, it's almost over."

Lin Chuan looked at the black mark on the back of his hand, silently weeping in his heart.

At this moment, the originally black full moon mark, after half a month and then a crescent, was finally reduced to just a trace.

God knows how Lin Chuan had spent these past few days.

It was unbelievable; everything went wrong, to the point where even drinking cold water made him choke.

Forget Commander Rank, he barely even encountered a few Elite Rank Yao Beasts.

All the Yao Beasts automatically fled when he was still several kilometers away.

Even when walking normally, there would occasionally be a large pit waiting for him.

It even amused the people watching his live stream, who exclaimed that Lin Chuan had done too many bad things and was finally getting his comeuppance.

Lin Chuan immediately turned off the live stream.

Why stream when he was so unlucky?

The Calamity Demon Spirit was terrifying!

Fortunately, it was finally coming to an end, with at most half a day left.

Lin Chuan decided to just stay put, not go anywhere, and get through this half-day first.

The surroundings were flat, with no cover and no mountains.

No poisonous snakes would suddenly dart out to bite him, and no rocks would suddenly roll down to hit his head... The damage wasn't great, but the insult was immense.

Unless a Commander-level Demon Beast crashed into him, that would be better, haha... Lin Chuan was daydreaming.

Suddenly, a flash of light and shadow appeared in front, and Lin Chuan's Departed Soul almost jumped out, exclaiming, "Holy crap!"

The newcomer was precisely that Calamity Demon Spirit.

"You're like a lingering ghost!" Lin Chuan complained.

It could pinpoint Lin Chuan's location and possessed spatial abilities, making it impossible for Lin Chuan to shake it off.

As if hearing Lin Chuan's thoughts, a hint of anger flashed in the Calamity Demon Spirit's eyes again, about to add another debuff to him.

"Wait! Wait!"

Lin Chuan cried out, quickly stopping it.

"Can't I just compensate you?"

Lin Chuan was truly scared.

"Give it to me."

"I don't have any on hand right now, but I'll definitely give it to you after I get out."

"You're lying, meow!"

"I'm absolutely not lying to you, it's just gems, I have plenty," Lin Chuan quickly said.

These gems weren't actually worth much, and they were just raw Ore, far less refined than processed ones.

Lin Chuan figured he could just buy a bunch for it after he got out; that would be much better than constantly being cursed by this bringer of misfortune.

"Then, take this fruit to eat, consider it an advance compensation for your Spirit Fruit."

Seeing it still hesitating, Lin Chuan directly pulled out a large handful of green [energy fruit].

The Calamity Demon Spirit carefully picked up one and put it in its mouth.

Then, its eyes instantly narrowed into slits, and the corners of its mouth kept rising.

"Delicious!"

Afterward, it directly took all the fruits.

Don't you have spatial storage abilities? Why are you still keeping the gems at home?

Are you perhaps deliberately trying to extort me?

Lin Chuan dared not show obvious doubt in his eyes; as long as he could get rid of this jinx, anything was fine.

"Meow~~ Delicious!"

The Calamity Demon Spirit ate one after another, thoroughly enjoying itself.

A gentle breeze blew past, scattering a pile of weeds next to Lin Chuan, revealing a large Spirit Stone hidden underground.

Lin Chuan: ...Fortune-Misfortune Body, depending on its mood, randomly brings good or bad luck to its surroundings... Terrifying as such!

Lin Chuan had been sitting here for so long, yet he hadn't discovered any treasures around him.

He quietly picked up the large Spirit Stone and absorbed it directly, gaining over a dozen [energy fruit]; this wave was not a loss.

Having temporarily appeased this cat, Lin Chuan finally felt relieved.

Next, he just needed to quietly wait for the mark to disappear. With a little less than half the College Entrance Examination time remaining, Lin Chuan aimed to hunt a few more Commander Rank Yao Beasts and would be content... Lin Chuan was lost in thought.

Suddenly, a ripple flickered in front, and a Man in Black figure directly teleported in front of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan: ... Man in Black: ... "Seal..."

Before Lin Chuan could understand the situation, the Man in Black directly pressed a device switch.

A black light flashed, and Lin Chuan's wristband seemed to be restricted in some way.

"Damn!"

In this situation, Lin Chuan knew full well that the other party had malicious intentions.

It was just that Lin Chuan still didn't know whether the other party was Gold Rank or... Diamond Rank.

"Exit."

Lin Chuan didn't dare to be careless and planned to exit directly.

However, a few seconds later, there was no reaction.

"Damn it, why does it have to be so unfair!"

"Don't waste your effort, your wristband is useless, you can't escape."

The voice was old, and it was directly the leader of the Man in Black.

Lin Chuan remained silent.

"I didn't expect this old man to be so lucky; among the three key targets this time, I actually encountered the biggest fish right after entering, haha..."

"..."

Lin Chuan was helpless. Was it really your good luck? My luck was absolutely terrible, okay???

"Who are you, how did you get in, and what do you want to do?"

Lin Chuan fired off a triple question, directly asking.

"This old man is too lazy to waste words with you, prepare to die!"

After speaking, he directly summoned all his combat power.

One, two, three, four.

A full four Yao Beasts, and all of them were Monarch Rank!

Clearly, this old man was a veteran Diamond Rank expert.

And his beasts were all giant insect-type beasts: mantis, Poisonous Bee, Moth, and an oversized grub, with half its body alone measuring twenty to thirty meters.

However, these beasts were extremely uncoordinated; their limbs, wings, and mouthparts seemed to come from different Yao Beasts, awkwardly pieced together, making them very strange and terrifying.

"Damn it, why does it have to be like this! How can a protagonist survive with a villain like you!"

Lin Chuan complained weakly, feeling that he was probably going to die here today.

However, he wouldn't just surrender.

Two black fruits, one in each hand, were already secretly clutched in his grasp.

The opponent wasn't playing fair, so Lin Chuan didn't need to be polite; who was afraid of whom!

"Die."

The Poisonous Bee shot out its stinger, the Moth sprayed venomous powder, and the mantis wielded its huge scythe, reaching Lin Chuan almost instantly... The ground continuously heaved, and the grub was already preparing to feast.

There was no need to dodge; it was impossible to avoid, and the Void Sword was too slow.

"Then let's die together!"

One [death fruit] was thrown at the mantis, and the other was tossed to the eagerly awaiting grub; who told it to open its mouth so wide?

Lin Chuan wasn't worried about missing; this kind of fruit held a direct, Soul-stirring allure for all Yao Beasts.

Indeed, as the mantis's scythe was about to strike Lin Chuan, it hesitated for half a second, swallowed the fruit, and then brought the scythe down.

As for the grub, there was no need to mention it; it had already swallowed the fruit.

The old man saw his beast eat some unknown thing but didn't care; a Monarch Rank beast's Physique could withstand even a crystal core cannonball.

Lin Chuan was already prepared for death; Old Hei couldn't withstand a Monarch Rank attack at all. The moment the blade touched Lin Chuan, Old Hei was already severely wounded.

Subsequently, the active effect of [Extreme Healing] automatically triggered, instantly restoring all injuries.

But it was useless.

Even if the injuries healed, he would be severely wounded again, only delaying it by a few tenths of a second.

[Loyal Protection of Master], until the beast dies, the master will not be injured.

"Damn!"

At this moment, Lin Chuan wished Old Hei didn't have this skill.

But it didn't matter anymore; they would die together anyway.

"Is this how it ends?"

Within a few tenths of a second, Lin Chuan reviewed all his experiences of the past few months, which were exciting enough to rival decades in his previous life...
