Chapter 19 Who Says He Can't Fly_1

Red Moon World.

Near a village on the outskirts of Jin Town.

Yibai stealthily arrived here, his lengthy body merging with the surrounding trees, rendering him invisible to the naked eye.

He approached the vicinity of the village.

His vertical pupils peered through the trees, observing the scene inside the village.

In the village before him, many 'people' were bustling about.

These 'people' either wielded hoes, mechanically tilling the ground, or sat in groups of three or five under banyan trees, their eyes lifelessly staring at each other.

In Yibai's eyes, these people all emitted a faint gray aura.

'Indeed, the monsters inside the city are different from those outside. The monsters in the city all move toward the city center, while those in the villages outside are unaffected.'

'However, those few sitting under the banyan tree, could it be the monsters have their own village gossip bureau?'

Yibai was rendered speechless.

He didn't have much apprehension towards these villages; these first-order beings were no match for him.

He was just worried that the situation in Jin Town might affect this place.

Now that he was sure it hadn't, he felt relieved.

Yibai brazenly made his move.

He charged into the village.

In an instant, the monsters that had been 'minding their own business' all turned their heads to look.

Upon seeing Yibai, their vacant eyes glowed with a bloody red, a bloodthirsty madness flickering within.

The next moment, these monsters sprung to life as various bizarre animal bodies sprouted from them.

Seeing this, Yibai opened his gaping maw, and demonic power spewed forth from his belly.

A few dark streaks, like black water arrows, shot out, striking those monsters sitting under the banyan tree.

Instantly, those monsters were blown to pieces, with black blood splattering everywhere.

'First-order demons can't withstand a single blow from my demonic power!'

Yibai knew what he was capable of, twisting his serpentine body and charging at the monsters drawing near him.

...

An hour later.

Yibai ended the battle.

This village had fewer monsters than the previous one he was in; he only killed thirty or forty of them.

All of them were first-order demons.

First-order demons couldn't even break his scales, let alone harm him; they could only be killed one by one.

"Time to eat some monsters, then head back to the Immortal Cultivation Realm to digest."

Yibai surveyed the corpses of these fallen monsters.

He was about to feast on a few of them.

But suddenly, an unusual vibrational frequency from the ground entered his senses.

Thump, thump, thump...

This vibration felt like the sound of rapid footsteps.

"What's going on?"

Yibai became cautiously alert.

He moved quickly, reaching the entrance of the village and hiding his lengthy body within a pile of debris.

His gaze was fixed on the area outside the village entrance, wanting to see the source of the running noise.

Under Yibai's watch.

Three figures quickly ran towards the middle of the village.

These three figures...

were human.

And Yibai recognized them.

Weren't these the three grave robbers?

When he encountered them last time, he had given them quite a scare.

What were these three people doing here?

Yibai found it strange because he could tell that these three seemed to be chased by something.

He lifted his serpentine head to look into the distance.

Indeed, as he looked, he saw something different.

Behind these three people,

a beast with a human head was chasing after them.

Yes, a beast with a human head.

Yibai could only describe it as such.

This creature, besides having a human head, looked nothing like a person at all; its arms were like a tiger's, its body covered with mane-like fur, and it even had a pair of wing membranes on its back.

Its strange appearance didn't surprise Yibai, after all, no monster was ever normal.

What truly captured Yibai's attention

was the gray aura emanating from this beast.

Monster aura is gray.

The gray aura of this beast was thicker than the total aura of all the monsters he had just hunted.

'This is a second-order monster!'

Yibai realized this deeply; there was no trace of fear in his pupils, only intense excitement.

He wanted to hunt down a second-order monster.

For this, he had dared to venture into Jin Town.

But he hadn't expected that Jin Town concealed such terror; he had given up on hunting a second-order monster.

Yet, to his surprise, a second-order monster had come to him.

Without any hesitation, Yibai revealed his figure and rushed towards the second-order monster.

...

Near the entrance of the village,

three human survivors ran swiftly.

To say that three people were running didn't quite capture it; it was more like two of them were dragging the last one, Fatty, along with them.

Fatty was still vomiting blood, his injuries were serious.

"Chen Chu, Wang Yue, I really can't do it this time..."

"If you take me with you, you won't get away. You go first, I'll cover your escape. My life hasn't been in vain, I witnessed the descent of the Red Moon, and I've seen the legendary Demons. I'm a witness to this era..."

Fatty murmured weakly, his face pale as parchment; he was almost instinctively running with his legs.

"Stop talking nonsense! We live together, we die together! We'll circle around this village and run to the previous one. There's a Demon there, we can use its power to kill this monster!"

The human called 'Chen Chu' gritted his teeth and pulled Fatty along with all his might as they ran.

The other named 'Wang Yue' said nothing but silently ran with clenched teeth.

Seeing this, Fatty felt helpless and knew he was dragging his two friends down.

His vision of what lay ahead started to blur.

Last time, they had been saved by a Demon.

This time, was he lucky enough to be saved again...

But who could save them from a second-order monster?

In his dazed state, Fatty thought of the big Serpent Demon from before. If it was that terrifying Demon, perhaps it could save them.

But relying on a Demon for salvation, wasn't that just a pipe dream?

How come... there seemed to be a big snake rushing towards them from ahead...

Wait a minute.

A big snake?

Fatty's eyes widened as he looked, instantly sobering. He saw something blue and as fast as lightning charging at them.

But his eyes were special, he saw it clearly.

It was the big Serpent Demon!

This big Serpent Demon was hurtling towards them, and if they didn't get out of the way, they would be directly hit!

"Chen Chu! Wang Yue! Quick, get out of the way! Stop running!"

Fatty yelled hysterically.

Chen Chu and Wang Yue were shocked and without a second thought, leapt to the side, driven by trust in their comrade.

The moment they leaped aside, the blue giant snake charged past, heading straight for the second-order monster.

If they had jumped just a moment later, they would have been directly hit by Yibai.

Yibai wasn't concerned with anything else; his mind was set on hunting the second-order monster.

The monster had wings, and he couldn't let it fly away.

So his actions had to be fast, accurate, and ruthless!

After all, he couldn't fly...
