Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Let Me Puke for a While
AWOOO—
A clear, resounding dragon’s roar
echoed through the sky above the container warehouse.
A majestic pressure burst forth, centered on Lin Yi.
The power of the dragon’s roar made the hairs on all the demon beasts stand on end instinctively.
They turned to look back at Lin Yi in terror.
Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
In that instant, their bodies seemed to turn to stone.
The pressure from the Candle Dragon pinned them in place.
"A Candle Dragon?"
Chu Zhengxiong turned back, his gaze fixed on Lin Yi.
He saw that the long saber in Lin Yi’s hand had shockingly transformed into a small, flaming dragon.
He recognized it at a glance. Was that really a Candle Dragon?
A glint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly snapped out of it and viciously slashed down at the surrounding Blood Drop members with the large saber in his hand.
Zhan Kai and Sun Lang also quickly regained their focus.
They continued to cut down the Blood Drop members and demon beasts as if they were chopping vegetables.
[Congratulations! You have slain a 3-star demon beast!]
[Would you like to plunder its traits?]
[Congratulations! You have slain a 2-star demon beast!]
[Would you like to plunder its traits?]
[Congratulations! You have slain...]
The notification chimes rang out continuously in his ears.
Lin Yi could no longer afford to pick and choose.
As long as he could plunder something, he wouldn’t let a single one get away.
He plundered them all.
’Whatever talent it is, I’ll just grab it first and worry later.’
’Anyway, there’s no harm in having more talents. If I accumulate three of the same kind, I can even upgrade them.’
’No matter what the talent is, it’ll be useful once it’s high-level...’
PFFT PFFT PFFT—
The long saber in his hand continuously reaped the lives of the demon beasts and Blood Drop members.
Lin Yi’s eyes had long since turned red with bloodlust.
Whenever he saw a person in a long robe or a beast,
he would charge over and slash first, ask questions later.
And the long saber, transformed into a Candle Dragon, radiated a pressure that froze the demon beasts, preventing them from moving an inch.
Just as Lin Yi was getting into the rhythm of the slaughter,
a sudden sense of danger flared in his mind.
At the same time, he felt a chill run down his back.
Without a second thought, Lin Yi quickly dodged to the side.
The next moment, right where he had just been standing,
a black shadow lunged with extreme speed.
In an instant, a pair of sharp claws tore a Blood Drop member to shreds...
"Hiss~ What was that?"
Lin Yi sucked in a sharp breath.
’If it weren’t for my [Vigilance] talent allowing me to sense danger in advance,’
’the one who was just torn to shreds would have been me.’
He saw a creature covered in black fur, with a pair of blood-red eyes, staring intently at him.
It was a Big Rat.
And it had already reached the 2-star level.
The next moment, the Big Rat let out a piercing shriek
and lunged at Lin Yi once more.
Its speed was faster than any demon beast he had ever seen before.
It crossed a distance of over ten meters in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yi quickly retreated a few steps.
Just as he was about to defend, a cold glint shot toward his neck.
’Not good,’ Lin Yi thought, quickly twisting his body.
He executed [Serpentine Steps], moving rapidly in an S-curve.
Only then did he barely manage to dodge the Big Rat’s attack.
"So fast..."
After putting some distance between them, Lin Yi stared intently at the Big Rat.
The Big Rat’s eyes were crimson, giving it an incredibly bloodthirsty and demonic appearance.
"SQUEAK..."
With another piercing shriek, the Big Rat attacked Lin Yi again.
The danger warning flared once more.
The Big Rat’s body seemed to merge with the darkness again.
Lin Yi gripped his long saber, paying close attention to his surroundings.
Suddenly, two Blood Drop members took advantage of his divided attention and lunged at him from the left and right.
PFFT— PFFT—
The moment they got close, Lin Yi turned and cut them both down, one after the other.
But just as Lin Yi’s focus wavered for a moment,
the danger warning blared again.
Lin Yi’s eyes flashed, and he swung his long saber upward from below.
CLANG...
Sparks flew as the Big Rat was knocked back.
"Let’s see you handle this..."
A corner of Lin Yi’s mouth lifted as he unleashed his [Spirit Thorn] talent, launching a wave of mental attacks at the Big Rat.
In an instant, the Big Rat, which had been radiating killing intent just a moment ago,
went dull-eyed, the red light in its gaze quickly fading.
[Spirit Thorn] had worked.
While the Big Rat was in a daze, Lin Yi used his [Earth Evasion] talent
and vanished from the spot.
The next moment, behind the Big Rat,
Lin Yi leaped into the air, bringing his long saber down on the creature.
CLANG—
PFFT...
When the effect of the mental attack wore off,
the Big Rat whipped its head around and threw its claws up to defend itself,
intending to block Lin Yi’s strike.
But it had underestimated Lin Yi, and it had underestimated the Candle Dragon Saber even more.
The blade transformed into a Candle Dragon over a meter long,
letting out a clear, piercing dragon’s roar.
As if cutting through tofu,
it effortlessly sliced off the Big Rat’s claws.
But the Candle Dragon had no intention of letting the Big Rat go just yet.
Radiating a terrifying pressure, it continued its descent toward the Big Rat.
In that instant, a look of terror flashed in the Big Rat’s eyes.
Its pupils reflected a flaming Candle Dragon, closing in on it.
PFFT—
The moment the long saber struck its body,
it was sliced open with ease...
The Big Rat stared at Lin Yi, its face filled with terror.
As the light in its pupils faded, its gaze became vacant.
The next moment.
A massive rat head fell from its neck.
[Congratulations! You have slain a 2-star Demon Beast.]
[Would you like to plunder its talent traits?]
Only when the notification chime sounded
did Lin Yi finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked down at the Big Rat’s corpse.
This was the most difficult demon beast he had encountered since he started Demon Hunting.
’If it weren’t for the fact that I have so many talent traits, plus the [Candle Dragon Ancient Saber Technique]...’
’If I had encountered this Big Rat alone anywhere else...’
’I probably wouldn’t have made it out alive...’
"Plunder everything!"
Lin Yi didn’t hesitate, holding to the belief that no talent should go to waste.
He wouldn’t let a single plunderable talent slip by.
Then, he put the Big Rat’s corpse into his Storage Magical Artifact.
’The corpses of low-rank Mouse Demons aren’t worth much.’
’So a 2-star Mouse Demon’s corpse should be worth something, right?’
After doing all this, Lin Yi turned to look at the rest of the battlefield.
The battle was almost over.
Corpses littered the ground.
The air was thick with the nauseating stench of blood.
It was only now that Lin Yi truly understood what "bodies piled up like mountains, and rivers of blood" meant.
It was no different from a living Hell.
The final demon beast was shot dead by Sun Lang’s arrow,
its body joining the mountain of corpses.
At last, the battle was completely over.
Chu Zhengxiong walked up to Lin Yi and patted him on the shoulder.
"How are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt? I really couldn’t tell... For a high school senior like you to go through a scene like this and still stay so calm—"
"Blargh..."
Before Chu Zhengxiong could finish,
Lin Yi turned his head and began to vomit uncontrollably.
"Brother Chu... don’t worry about me... just let me... throw up for a bit..."
Chu Zhengxiong: "..."
