The horsehair formed a web shape, tightly wrapping the Transparent Cat Demon, with blood occasionally flowing out from the gaps.
The Blood Asura seized the opportunity, leaping high into the air, and the Scythe of Death swiped across.
Ye Chen shouted loudly, "The binding time of the horsehair is very short, everyone attack together."
The crowd realized and quickly took action.
The Piggy Dragon snorted twice.
Charged at the Transparent Cat Demon.
The Vajra Ape’s actions were unexpected to everyone.
The Vajra Ape stepped forward, grasping the net tightly and holding the Transparent Cat Demon firmly in its hand.
The Blood Asura was overjoyed, chuckling twice, and charged again.
The Scythe of Death swung, instantly producing two piercing wind sounds.
The Blood Asura did not stop, relentlessly launching attacks on the Transparent Cat Demon.
Fortunately, the Vajra Ape had activated Frenzy, increasing its strength several times, otherwise, its level 3 strength would not be able to control the level 9 cat demon.
Although it was only thirty seconds, it was enough. With the continuous swinging of the Blood Asura’s Scythe of Death.
The Transparent Cat Demon was completely slain.
Stage: Juvenile Stage
Skill: Critical Strike
Tier: Sacred Artifact (Tier Seven)
Talent: Bloodthirst (Awakened)
Divine Artifact: None
Experience: 2100/3000
Adding the previous 1500 experience points gained from Tian Xuhao, now the Blood Asura is still 900 experience points away from reaching level 5.
The Transparent Cat Demon was a level 9 monster, but its strength was still inferior to the Blood Jade Spider and posed no real damage.
Once restrained, it was just a sitting duck.
Thankfully, there were things like the horsehair, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
[Transparent Pill Pearl: Consumable, provides invisibility for one minute, suitable for pets and warriors]
[Heaven-Sundering Spear Fragment*1: Collect 100 fragments to synthesize a Heaven-Sundering Spear Embryo]
[Hell Secret Realm Key Fragment*1: Collect 18 fragments to synthesize a key and open a small Hell Trial Secret Realm]
[Small Qi Blood Pill*1: Restores Qi and blood, usable by pets and warriors]
[Strength Pill: Increases strength by three times after consumption]
Looking at the ground full of loot, everyone couldn’t help but be overjoyed, fitting for a level 9 monster, the loot was indeed different.
As per the usual rules, fragments like these go to Ye Chen, the Strength Pill to Iron Bull, the Transparent Pill Pearl to Lin Nuoyi, and the Prokaryote to Zhu Qiang.
The distribution of loot mainly depends on who it’s suitable for, like the Strength Pill, which is obviously suitable for Iron Bull’s Vajra Ape.
Without lingering too long, the group continued to move up the mountain.
"Brother Chen, over there!"
Zhu Qiang suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted, the group followed his voice and looked, noticing a cave on the left above them, with bursts of singing coming from inside from time to time.
Everyone was suddenly stunned, Lin Nuoyi frowned slightly and wondered, "Could there be someone inside the cave?"
Ye Chen thought it sounded like a human voice too, but the thought of singing in a cave in the middle of the night seemed rather bizarre.
He was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Let’s go have a look, be careful."
Several nodded and cautiously followed behind Ye Chen.
The road to the cave was not easy to walk, some places to climb were rugged and uneven.
The Vajra Ape extended the Eight-Bone Soul-Locking Spear, clearing the path ahead with a steel blade.
The four stood in front of the cave and looked inside. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Ye Chen had no choice but to push the flashlight inside, the floating flashlight slowly moved forward, illuminating the path.
The cave was not straight, and the light of the flashlight was instantly blocked by a wall ahead, making it still impossible to see what was inside.
Lin Nuoyi whispered, "Ye Chen, should we go in and take a look?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and finally nodded, taking the lead and walking slowly inside.
The Blood Asura floated in the air, even further ahead of Ye Chen, occasionally spinning the Scythe of Death in her hand, showing no fear; in fact, she seemed somewhat excited.
As long as she could kill monsters, she was very proactive.
Inside the cave, it was dark and damp, water occasionally dripping to the ground, making a dripping sound.
When they reached the corner of the wall, the light probed inward.
A group of bats was startled, slowly flying over the heads of the four.
The Blood Asura, floating in the air.
Wielded the Scythe of Death at the flying bats, and soon dozens of bats were cut down and fell to the ground.
The bodies of these bats did not disappear, and Ye Chen said, "These are not monsters, just regular bats."
Lin Nuoyi echoed, "Could the singing be coming from these bats?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "No, bats don’t make that kind of sound, but it shouldn’t be a monster either. If it was a monster, these bats wouldn’t stand a chance."
The others nodded in understanding.
Ye Chen looked ahead without any hesitation and continued to walk forward.
This cave twisted and turned, and after two turns, a light suddenly appeared ahead—it was a bonfire.
Sitting by the bonfire were more than a dozen people, including ten elderly folks and three young ones.
The pets of the three young people weren’t more than level 2 and only tier 3 rare-grade pets.
There was some grilled meat from animals on the bonfire, and the dozen people sat there talking.
Suddenly, something quickly ran out from a pile of chaos beside them, standing in front of them.
Tier: Elite (Tier Two)
Ye Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Looks like we’ve been discovered."
Lin Nuoyi nodded in agreement, "This pet is very alert, suitable for scouting."
Since they were discovered, Ye Chen simply stopped hiding and boldly walked forward.
The people inside received the information from the Horse Hunting Dog and stood up one after the other.
A few old men grabbed hunting rifles and slung them over their shoulders, while the three young people controlled their pets, ready for battle.
As Ye Chen’s figure emerged, Zhu Qiang, Lin Nuoyi, and the others also appeared in front of them.
"Four people! Three level 3 and one level 4, all at least tier 4 Legendary."
The owner of the Horse Hunting Dog, Yu Guang, was shocked, while the other two people’s expressions turned to despair.
"When is Sister Nian coming back? If she doesn’t return, we’re finished?"
Yu Zhen was anxious, looking at the hostile eyes of the few people, his heart racing with fear.
Ye Chen smiled, "Everyone, don’t be afraid, you don’t need to be , we mean no harm."
One of the elders suddenly stepped forward and said, "We’re original residents at the foot of this mountain. My name is Yu Changhua, I’m the village chief of Yu Family Village. How should we address you all?"
Ye Chen gave a slight bow and introduced himself.
Ye Chen then smiled slightly.
"We came here to hunt monsters. We mean you no harm. We just heard there was singing from this cave, so we came in to see what’s going on."
