76: Do you want to commit suicide?

When Lin Chuan walked out of the rock cave, the cave was still empty; the group of monkeys hadn't returned.

Lin Chuan felt quite regretful.

The goal of this trip had been overachieved, with only the ripeness of the death fruit remaining.

If he could take care of the remaining few hundred monkeys, it would probably be enough.

Wiping out a Yao Beast species group in one outing was nothing to Lin Chuan.

Such Yao Beast groups, seemingly self-sufficient and harmless, would instantly become the main force attacking the encircling city once commanded by a King-level Great Demon.

Therefore, the Beast Tamer Association constantly monitors the number of Yao Beast lairs outside the city to ensure they remain at a relatively safe level.

With half a month left, Lin Chuan felt a bit lost about where to go.

Without Qin Yan leading the way, he could only wander aimlessly in this area.

"Old Qin, ah, Old Qin... how could he be so unreliable?"

Lin Chuan grumbled.

Stepping out of the cave, the dazzling sunlight made Lin Chuan feel a moment of disorientation.

Unconsciously, he had actually stayed inside for five days.

"Didn't he say he arranged a bodyguard for me? I haven't seen a shadow of anyone these past few days. Is it real or fake?"

In the wild, his phone had no signal, so Lin Chuan wanted to contact Qin Yan through his Yao Beast.

Either move him to another place or take him back to Xuanwu City.

"Logically speaking, Old Qin shouldn't lie to me.

Therefore, there must be a Monarch Rank Beast Tamer secretly watching me!"

With this thought, Lin Chuan instantly felt a chill of dread.

Then, he recalled his actions these past few days; he shouldn't have done anything too outrageous.

Even if he killed the Ape Leader, it was when the opponent was injured, so at least on the surface, it had little to do with Lin Chuan.

Moreover, Lin Chuan didn't have the feeling of being constantly watched by a pair of eyes, which was the most important thing.

Perhaps that Monarch Rank Beast Tamer was only sensing danger around him and was confident in instantly intervening to save him?

If that's the case... Lin Chuan, without changing his expression, looked around and quietly glanced at the ground beneath his feet.

Since his safety was guaranteed, Lin Chuan stopped pretending and directly summoned Old Hei in his largest form.

"Boom!"

With a diameter of over twenty meters, an area of more than three hundred square meters, and a height of four to five meters... it was a complete mobile fortress!

Qin Yan's Ice Crystal Demon Python, though thirty meters long, was slender overall, and its volume was considerably smaller than Old Hei's.

If Old Hei reached the Monarch Rank, would his normal size be 20 meters, and after enlarging, wouldn't his diameter be over a hundred meters?

Completely unreasonable, just thinking about it felt terrifying.

No wonder the Shape-Shifting skill only appeared on the lowest-level Yao Beasts like Water Slimes.

Lin Chuan remembered the Water Slime that was used as a humidifier; it was a good thing he impulsively pinched it back then... Before leaving the cave, Lin Chuan had already enhanced all the skills he could:

Various elemental resistances and affinities went without saying, and movement speed buffs like Wilderness Pathfinding and Accelerated March were also very useful at this time; even Play in Water, which increased swimming speed, Lin Chuan maxed out.

No other reason, just being willful.

It only cost less than a hundred enhancement fruits in total.

"Depart!"

Lin Chuan sat on Old Hei's back and randomly pointed in a direction.

Subsequently, this mobile castle started moving, its speed faster than Lin Chuan running at full sprint.

Along the way, plants were flattened, and animals scattered.

Like a road roller, it bulldozed through any terrain.

Countless Yao Beasts below Elite Rank were driven to flee frantically forward, subtly forming a beast tide.

"Haha... exhilarating!"

Lin Chuan rampaged fearlessly, feeling that this was truly satisfying!

What Yao Beasts, what Xuanwu City... born as humans, one should roam freely between heaven and earth... He traveled like this for half a day.

Just as Lin Chuan was feeling immensely heroic, a sharp, piercing shriek came from the forest ahead.

"Whoosh..."

The beast horde ahead didn't dare to enter directly but split and fled from both sides.

A few were swept along by the beasts behind them and rushed in; moments later, a mist of blood rose from the forest, and those few Yao Beasts were directly crushed.

"Caw..."

Lin Chuan's heroic feeling came to an abrupt halt.

Opposite him was clearly a Commander Rank Demon Beast.

"Uh, I'm just passing by, it's none of my business."

He had Old Hei shrink to four or five meters in size, and Lin Chuan turned around and left.

"Faster, faster..."

However, the Yao Beast on the other side clearly wouldn't let him off easily.

"Whoosh..." a fierce cry.

Then, a yellow figure shot into the sky, heading straight for Lin Chuan.

"Damn it, it's really coming!"

A distance of several thousand meters was covered almost in an instant.

Lin Chuan simply stopped running, watching the opponent gradually approach.

Only when it got close did he clearly see the opponent's form.

This was a monstrous bird-type Yao Beast; after retracting its wings, its size was about ten meters, its entire body covered in red and yellow scales, and a spiraling giant horn on its head, glinting sharply.

At this moment, the opponent landed less than a hundred meters opposite Lin Chuan, looking at him with a cruel, mocking expression.

As if extremely curious that such a weak human would appear here!

Then, it was confused; it was clearly so large just now, how did it disappear now? It had thought a Commander Rank Demon Beast had come to provoke it.

But, it didn't matter; anyone who dared to intrude on its territory had to die!

"Whoosh..."

The monstrous bird flapped its wings, about to rush over and tear Lin Chuan to shreds.

"Old Qin, ah Old Qin, please don't screw me over..."

Seeing the monstrous bird's gaze change, Lin Chuan silently prayed in his heart.

In the face of a Commander Rank Demon Beast in its prime, Lin Chuan wasn't foolish enough to let Old Hei challenge it; it was better to lie down and surrender.

Just as the monstrous bird was about to attack, a 'buzzing' sound echoed from all directions.

Then, countless fly-like insects rose into the air, converging into a dark cloud in mid-air; a portion surrounded Lin Chuan, while another portion swarmed towards the monstrous bird.

"What is this..."

Lin Chuan's scalp tingled, sensing something unpleasant.

The monstrous bird saw that something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was already too late.

The flying insects, like maggots on a corpse, continuously gnawed at its body.

The seemingly harmless flying insects were actually capable of gnawing through the body of a Commander Rank Demon Beast!

Soon, the monstrous bird's body disappeared at a visible rate. It was a true disappearance, not even a drop of blood was left.

Its proud giant horn was also completely gnawed away.

Lin Chuan had originally wanted to touch it to see if he could detect its attributes. Seeing the monstrous bird's fate, Lin Chuan unconsciously pulled back his hand.

After dealing with the monstrous bird, the swarm of insects did not disperse.

Lin Chuan swallowed, and asked the swarm, "Uh, are you Old Qin's Beast Tamer?"

Although it looked silly, Lin Chuan knew the other party could hear him.

"Yes," several hundred flying insects formed a single word in the air.

Sure enough, Lin Chuan had guessed correctly.

He hadn't expected the bodyguard Qin Yan left him to be a swarm of insects, but the main body definitely wasn't among them.

"Thank you for saving me." Lin Chuan cupped his fist in gratitude.

"You"

"Want"

"To"

"Kill"

"?"

Lin Chuan saw the words spelled out one by one by the other party and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, especially the final question mark, which was full of Taunt.

He had no other choice, didn't he? If he hadn't done that, the other party definitely wouldn't have shown up.

"Can you contact Old Qin and take me back?"

"One month."

Lin Chuan understood; Qin Yan's instruction to it was probably to protect him for one month, and it wouldn't even let Lin Chuan go back, insisting on thorough special training.

"Alright then."

Lin Chuan could only reluctantly accept, preparing to be a 'wild man' for another half a month.
