Chapter 127 - Fish Demon, Conflict

Chapter 127: Fish Demon, Conflict

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Relying on the Bloodthirst passive skill that was similar to the small-range radar and the Beast King passive skill that could obtain information from animals, Zhou Chen’s mission to find demons was steadily progressing.

An hour later, although he had yet to discover any demons, he had obtained more definite information.

“There’s a fish demon in the lake in that direction. An underwater demon… it probably won’t be an easy fight.”

Although Zhou Chen had Underwater Breathing passive skill and was not afraid of entering the water, fighting in the water was far less convenient than fighting on the ground.

After about fifteen minutes, Zhou Chen arrived at the small lake in the mountain area. He felt like the lake should be called a deep pool instead. The water in the pool was clear, but he could not see the bottom. There was nothing else in the pool other than bluish green water.

“There doesn’t seem to be any strange creatures in this pool, let alone demons.”

Using the Bloodthirst passive skill to sense, Zhou Chen realized that there seemed to be no demons in the pool, only some ordinary small fish and shrimps.

“Did that demon go out? Or was it killed by another demon-slayer?”

Zhou Chen believed that under the effect of the Beast King passive skill, the beast that told him this information was not lying. This demon was not here for another reason.

“I will look around…”

Sensing that the lake demon might be nearby, Zhou Chen began to search the surrounding area.

He searched a large area of the surrounding mountain area for half an hour, but he still did not find anything.

But just as he was about to give up, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

He looked at the direction of the sound and saw an ugly monster more than three meters tall with the upper body of a fish and the lower body of a human. It was running over with its two large webbed feet. Behind the monster, a young man’s voice kept ringing.

“Ugly monster! Stop right there!”

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment. He realized that the young man was the third young master of the Luo Clan, who had left home. Not far from him, the old man who seemed to possess extraordinary martial arts was closely following.

“Old man! Go away! Don’t interfere with my fight!”

The young man realized that the old man was a little close to him and shouted angrily.

The old man was not angry when he heard this. He pulled away slightly and said to the youth, “Young Master, why don’t you let me capture this demon for you?”

“No! Don’t even think about it!” However, the young man directly refused. “I want to kill the demon with my own ability! I don’t need you to get involved!”

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but feel a little speechless as he looked at the old and young chasing the demon in the distance.

“That fish demon seems to be stronger than the eagle demon, at least it’s much larger. It’s worth killing.”

After discovering the demon, Zhou Chen immediately entered a combat state. He quietly leaned over and approached it. Then, he suddenly exerted strength and approached the demon at lightning speed before punching it.

Although the demon’s body did not explode like the eagle demons, a hole larger than a basketball pierced through its body. Its limbs twitched weakly a few times before it collapsed.

“Why is there still no reward? Is this demon not strong enough?”

After killing this fish demon, Zhou Chen still did not obtain the Inspiration Pill, making him have doubts.

“Who are you! How dare you steal my demon!”

At this moment, the young man in embroidered clothes who had been chasing after the demon walked angrily towards Zhou Chen, but he was stopped by the old man.

“Young man, I remember you’re a demon-slayer who just arrived yesterday, right? Don’t you know the rules of demon slayers?”

The old man blocked the young man and looked at Zhou Chen with narrowed eyes.

“Sorry, I was too impatient to kill the demon and attacked. This demon’s head is yours. Just treat it as me giving a hand.”

Zhou Chen, who was feeling a little depressed, could not be bothered to waste time on these two.

“Hehe, that’s for the best.” The old man was relieved when he heard Zhou Chen’s reply.

“Old man, he snatched my thing! I order you to kill him!”

However, the young man behind the old man seemed to still be in a fit of anger. He pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted angrily.

“Hmm?”

Zhou Chen immediately raised his eyes and focused them on the young man; dangerous intent was rising in the depths of his pupils.

“Young Master, it’s not wise to cause trouble outside. Forgive me for not being able to obey this order.”

However, to Zhou Chen’s surprise, the old man did not listen to the orders of the young man like a loyal old servant. Instead, he kept his gaze focused on Zhou Chen as he refused the young man’s orders.

“You useless old thing! If you don’t do it, I’ll do it!”

However, the young man was even more angry when he heard the old man’s words and was about to charge at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen stood firmly on the spot while looking at them calmly. He was already prepared to attack. He had his own principles. Whoever dared to attack him had to bear the consequences.

Just as sparks seemed to rise in the air, the old man suddenly pulled the young man back, even reaching out to cover his mouth.

“Little brother, my young master is young and rash. Sorry for making a fool of ourselves. That demon head on the ground will be a small gift from the Luo Clan of Qingcheng.”

The old man restrained the young man who was struggling with all his might and said to Zhou Chen in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.

‘Hehe, this old servant is really loyal. In order to not have a conflict with me and risk that stupid kid’s life, he even gave a gift.’

Zhou Chen was speechless. A loyal old servant was paired with a stupid young master. It really made him feel pity for this old servant.

“There’s no need to do that. This demon head is still yours. Goodbye.”

Zhou Chen cupped his hands at the old man and turned to leave, not preparing to waste time.

‘What is the standard for the Inspiration Pill? I really can’t figure it out.’

The problem that Zhou Chen was most concerned about was the drop of the Inspiration Pill. He had come here to kill the demons for this thing. From the looks of it, he had thought too simply. Killing the demons did not necessarily mean that the Inspiration Pill would drop. It might have been a mistake for him to come here.

“Let’s see for a few more days and kill some powerful demons. If I don’t gain anything, I’ll return to Caelian City to obtain the bounty and go to the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect.”

Zhou Chen’s goal was very clear. If he could not obtain the Inspiration Pill here, then it was impossible for him to stay here to earn some money. He would go to the nearest large sect to find a way to obtain a high-grade cultivation technique.

After making up his mind, Zhou Chen continued to search for demons. He gave it his all and was determined to find more demons to kill, especially those who were stronger.. He wanted to try his best to confirm the conditions for the Inspiration Pill.
