a month later

The summer holidays have just begun, but before the students could even properly relax in the city, they were already feeling unbearably hot and bothered by the passionate and unrestrained summer, and had no choice but to hide at home.

But two shameless people, dressed in black robes and carrying backpacks taller than themselves, happened to meet in the city.

Zhang Chen asked in confusion, "Where's Little Monkey? Didn't you call him?"

Mo Fan: "I thought you called him! I'll give him a call!"

Mo Fan took out his communicator and tapped a few times. Almost instantly, Little Monkey's voice came through: "Brother Fan, what's up?"

"Little monkey, do you want to go camping? The brigade leader and I have already brought enough camping gear. You just need to come. If you're coming, then come..."

"They agreed almost without hesitation."

Zhang Chen silently gave him a thumbs up.

……

field

The little monkey already knew they were there to hunt demons, so it used Wind Track·Swiftness and its mind was connected to the Scythe Bone Shield as it scouted ahead.

After that experience, his cultivation level broke through to the second stage of the initial level, and he also learned to stay calm when encountering danger.

He hurried through the bushes, which were taller than a person, against the wind. His nose twitched slightly as he suddenly smelled a putrid odor. After walking several dozen meters further, the stench became stronger. He carefully parted the bushes in front of him.

The first thing you see is a one-eyed, skinless rat about three meters tall, supporting its body with its strong hind legs. Its forelimbs are holding half of a greenish human corpse and gnawing on it, as if it were eating an incredibly crispy matcha-filled biscuit. With each bite, some crumbs fall out, and the green filling in the biscuit seems to burst open, making the giant rat's mouth full.

The little monkey saw such a disgusting scene for the first time and couldn't help but gag. As soon as it made a sound, the giant-eyed rat turned its one eye and locked onto the little monkey. It casually threw away the rotting corpse and greedily ran towards the little monkey.

When the little monkey saw it turn around, it used Wind Track Flash Step to create distance and guide it towards Zhang Chen and Mo Fan.

……

"Finally open for business!" Zhang Chen said with a smile, standing in front of the giant-eyed gorilla that was already emitting a faint aroma of roasted meat.

He turned to Mo Fan and winked, asking, "Did it explode?"

Mo Fan shook his head

"Then come over and deal with the body. What are you doing standing so far away?" Zhang Chen said with a speechless expression.

He has now determined that the seed requires demons, and that it stirred the same tremor he felt when he encountered the giant-eyed ape-rat as the demon wolf.

After the three of them finished dealing with the situation, Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "You two, step back!"

Although Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou didn't understand, they still retreated behind the tree to see what he wanted to do.

Zhang Chen wasn't sure what would happen, so to be on the safe side, he told the two of them to stay away.

Zhang Chen took out the seed and placed it on the body of the giant-eyed gorilla. Almost instantly, its flesh was drawn out, forming thin blood-red lines that burrowed into the seed, staining the seed's surface with a layer of blood.

Nothing else changed, but Zhang Chen was overjoyed to finally discover its correct use, and unconsciously revealed a maniacal smile.

"Brother Fan, has Brother Chen gone mad? He looks so scary right now!" Little Monkey looked at the crazed Zhang Chen, who, with the blood flowing around him, looked almost exactly like the demonic cultivators in Mo Fan's technological world TV.

Mo Fan had a different perspective: "His seeds were really just ordinary seeds! It's nothing, he was just a little excited for a moment."

"It took me two years to figure out the uses of those little loaches. I'm even more..."

In a short while, the three-meter-tall giant-eyed ape-rat was completely absorbed by the seed, leaving not even bones behind.

He closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly, as if there was nothing different.

Just then, seeing Zhang Chen finish, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou approached and exclaimed, "Damn! How come there's no change at all!"

"Perhaps they're not being fed enough! There are even more demons!"

……

one year later

The three of them asked Tang Yue for leave and spent almost the entire year in the wild, only taking action at the Snow Mountain Inn when they were running out of demon materials.

The three of them sat around the campfire at night.

"In half a month, it will be the duel between Brother Fan and the Mu family. Brother Fan, let them see your Fire Spray!" Zhang Xiaohou waved his fist excitedly. He never thought that he could improve so much in a year. He had already reached the threshold of the intermediate level. He would probably become an intermediate mage soon. Moreover, he had made so much money. He never dared to dream of it before.

Since Mo Fan absorbed flesh and blood and Zhang Chen absorbed souls, they naturally had to compensate the little monkey. So, the little monkey took 40% while Mo Fan and Zhang Chen each took 30%.

Mo Fan grinned lewdly, seemingly lost in thought. If even the little monkey had improved so much, Mo Fan was even more advanced. He was at the third level of the initial stage of dual-elemental cultivation, and his fire element had even reached the mid-stage barrier, having exploded three essences in the process. His little mudskipper was already a spirit-level stardust magic weapon.

Zhang Chen interrupted Mo Fan's daydreaming with a mischievous grin: "Why do you look so lustful? Thinking about women? I bet it's the Mu family's little princess?"

Zhang Chen's improvement was also significant, with both of his elements reaching the mid-level barrier. After a year of nourishment from demons, the seed had turned completely blood red, and the cracks on it indicated that something was about to break out of its shell.

"Get lost! You little virgin, brigadier general..."

"Oh, getting impatient!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

……

next day

They packed up and prepared to return to Bocheng.

"Looking at the map, we're about forty li away from the Snow Mountain Inn. If we walk in a straight line, we'll pass right through Hundred Herbs Valley, where we had our first training expedition." Zhang Chen checked the map to confirm their location.

"Of course, we can only go in a straight line now, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with Mo Fan and the Mu family's duel!"

Mo Fan said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Baicao Valley

With Mo Fan's fire clearing the way, the demonic vines surrounding the Hundred Herbs Valley were just like ordinary flowers and grasses; once they touched them, they turned to ashes, and soon the demonic vines made way for themselves.

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou stood above Baicao Valley and couldn't help but sigh. Just a year ago, they were novices who could barely cast a spell, but now they had taken the lives of at least several hundred demons.

Zhang Chen had already descended the vines to the bottom of the valley and saw them still lamenting, "Stop lamenting, you were all scared away in the first wave..."

Their lips twitched, and they stopped sighing, following the vines down to the bottom of the valley.

The moment he turned around, his expression changed drastically. Zhang Chen, completely unaware, was still talking about the embarrassing things Mo Fan and Xiao Hou had done back then.

Gradually, Zhang Chen also sensed something was wrong, seeing the serious expressions on their faces.

Zhang Chen slowly turned around and saw a group of extremely ugly-looking things.

It is a black creature with a monkey-like face and a deformed human body.

Zhang Chen's expression also turned serious, staring intently at the ten-meter-tall, deformed demon in the middle of the group of creatures.
