Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Purple Cloud Mink
“You’re going to retrieve the Demon Bone on your own?” Dugu Nian asked incredulously.
Fang Lin nodded: “Although it sounds absurd, I am indeed confident that I can get the Demon Bone.”
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Even though Fang Lin was earnest, their incredulity was still apparent. How could Fang Lin alone retrieve the Demon Bone? It seemed like a daydream.
“What the hell are you thinking about doing?” Dugu Ruoxu asked with a frown.
Fang Lin remained calm, “When I bring back the Demon Bone, you all will know that I wasn’t joking.”
“No way! It’s too dangerous!” Dugu Nian shook her head. She didn’t want Fang Lin to take the risk.
“I also think you’re being impulsive by going to get the Demon Bone alone. Even if you’re confident, there’s a Demon King there. We can’t handle it alone.” Steward Shen also tried to dissuade him, hoping Fang Lin would give up on retrieving the Demon Bone.
Fang Lin smiled: “Just a mere Fifth Transformations Demon King, I naturally have my ways to deal with him.”
Everyone was shocked. Fang Lin really dared to brag. For one of his abilities to claim he can deal with a Demon King, it made everyone laugh.
“Fang Lin, what on earth are you thinking?!” Dugu Nian said plaintively.
Fang Lin rubbed her head, causing Dugu Ruoxu to look on with twitching eyes, he snorted.
“You all stay here, wait until I return with the Demon Bone.” Fang Lin said as he headed towards the Ancient Forest.
Dugu Nian wanted to dissuade him, but Fang Lin shook his head at her, indicating to her not to follow him.
“Don’t worry everybody, I will surely bring back the Demon Bone within a few days.” After Fang Lin finished speaking, his figure gradually disappeared into the mist of the Ancient Forest.
“This guy, he better not die in there.” Wang Erdan expressed his worries.
“Tut tut tut, Fang Lin certainly won’t die.” Dugu Nian said indignantly.
Wang Erdan nodded embarrassingly.
Mei Yingxue and two others looked in the direction of the Ancient Forest. They wanted to see what Fang Lin was going to do, but after thinking about it, they decided to stand still and wait.
“I hope he can successfully bring back the Demon Bone.” Mei Yingxue whispered.
…
Within the Ancient Forest, Fang Lin opened his Spirit Eye. He could see everything clearly in front of him.
“Elder, I am going to rely on you this time.” As Fang Lin walked, he whispered to the Old Dried Corpse.
The Old Dried Corpse responded grumpily, “I knew it, you were planning to use me to retrieve the Demon Bone.”
Fang Lin chuckled, “With elder here, even a Demon King must step aside. Isn’t getting the Demon Bone a piece of cake?
“”Humph!” The Old Dried Corpse didn’t say much, only huffed.
After walking for four hours, the Demon Qi in front of him gradually thickened, and Fang Lin’s expression grew serious. Most of their previous explorations had ended here.
Because if they continued further, they would be discovered by the Demon Beasts inside.
Fang Lin stopped, took a deep breath, and continued to walk deeper into the Ancient Forest.
Not long after, he felt a surge of Demon Qi. The ground began to tremble, and a Demon Beast appeared.
It was an Ape Monkey that had undergone Four Transformations. It was enormous, standing as tall as a tree, its limbs burly and full of power.
The Ape Monkey stared at Fang Lin intensely and roared in fury, ready to rush over and smash Fang Lin with its fist.
Just then, the Old Dried Corpse released his aura, the aura of a Demon Saint.
The Ape Monkey froze in its tracks, looking at Fang Lin in disbelief. After carefully sensing his aura, it immediately showed fear.
“Lead the way.” Fang Lin waved his hand, his face expressionless.
The Ape Monkey growled and obediently moved ahead, not daring to disobey.
Fang Lin chuckled to himself. The awe of the Old Dried Corpse was indeed no small matter.
Under the guidance of the Ape Monkey, Fang Lin continued on. Before long, three more Four Transformations Demon Beasts appeared before Fang Lin.
All three Demon Beasts were quite powerful, each of them not something Fang Lin could handle. At this moment, all three beasts were staring at Fang Lin with wide eyes.
The Ape Monkey roared a few times at them, as if conversing in the beast language. Fang Lin didn’t understand it, but he wasn’t worried. He just stood there, waiting silently.
After the Ape Monkey finished speaking with the three beasts, they still glared at Fang Lin menacingly, seemingly ready to attack him.
The Old Dried Corpse once again released his aura, immediately frightening the three restless Demon Beasts into submission.
Like the Ape Monkey, these three Demon Beasts immediately succumbed to the aura. The aura of the Demon Saint caused a deep-seated fear in them, which they couldn’t resist, despite the Martial Artist in front them appearing very weak.
Now, four Demon Beasts were leading the way, which made Fang Lin feel quite smug. It felt good to fake strength with the backing of someone powerful.
Finally, under the guidance of the four Demon Beasts, Fang Lin encountered the Demon King.
It was a Purple Cloud Mink, a small creature comparable in size to a domestic cat, lazily lounging on an ancient tree.
When the four Demon Beasts brought Fang Lin close to the Purple Cloud Mink, it promptly stood up, looking at Fang Lin suspiciously.
Fang Lin stared at the Purple Cloud Mink, secretly amazed. Although they knew there was a Fifth Transformations Demon King in the Ancient Forest, they had only determined this by its aura and had never seen what the Demon King actually looked like.
Seeing it now, he was surprised to find that it was actually a Purple Cloud Mink.
Purple Cloud Minks are considered weaker among Demon Beasts and often fall prey to other Demon Beasts.
It was rare for a Purple Cloud Mink to reach the Three Transformations realm, but the one in front of them was unquestionably a Demon King. It had reached the extremely rare Fifth Transformation realm, which was almost unbelievable.
The Purple Cloud Mink fixed its electric-like eyes on Fang Lin, a hint of coldness in its gaze. It conversed with the Ape Monkey and others using beast language.
After the conversation, the doubt in the Purple Cloud Mink’s eyes deepened. It let out a long howl, which almost made Fang Lin spit out blood.
The Old Dried Corpse immediately released the Demon Saint’s aura and snorted heavily, carrying the pressure of a Demon Saint.
The Purple Cloud Mink immediately wilted. It looked at Fang Lin with absolute reverence.
Even a Demon King is defenseless in the face of a Demon Saint’s aura.
Fang Lin had a pale complexion. His Qi and blood were in turmoil. Luckily his body was strong enough. Otherwise, the Purple Cloud Mink’s howl would have seriously wounded him.
Even so, Fang Lin felt sick. He was relieved that the Purple Cloud Mink didn’t attack him straight away. Otherwise, he would have been in real danger.
“Lead me to the altar,” said Fang Lin, after his condition improved slightly, to the Purple Cloud Mink.
