Chapter 10: Hunting the Tier 5 Demon Beast Senran

The setting sun dipped below the horizon.

The evening sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining on Zhang Yi's shimmering golden feathers.

Perhaps the great battle with the Juman earlier had left a shadow in his heart.

After leaving the nest, Zhang Yi did not venture too far, only carefully searching the nearby grass with his "Insight Eye" to see if there was anything to eat.

It was a pity that after searching for a long time, let alone food, he didn't even encounter a ghost.

He had clearly heard movement nearby while in the nest; why was there nothing left by the time he came out!

Just as he was filled with doubt.

The system, which had been silent, suddenly emitted a sharp alarm at this moment.

【Ding!】

【A Tier 5 Demon Beast, Conglin Senran, has been detected within twenty meters ahead. Host, please be careful!】

"Holy crap! What a coincidence?"

Flap, flap!

Flap, flap!

Hearing the system's broadcast, Zhang Yi flapped his wings excitedly.

The next second, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately sprinted rapidly in the direction indicated by the system.

He only slowed his speed when he was about to reach his destination.

It seemed he was afraid of startling his "big meal."

He was seen tiptoeing into the nearby thicket.

Through the gaps in the bushes, he began to observe carefully.

Swish, swish, swish!

Swish, swish, swish!

As the sound of rustling leaves came from not far away, a sharp glint shot out from Zhang Yi's darting bird eyes.

"Damn, judging by the noise, it seems there's more than one!"

"This time, I can finally have a good meal!"

Muttering to himself, Zhang Yi then began to summon the system.

"System, use all Refining Points immediately!"

As the saying goes, a lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit!

With the experience of the previous battle against the Juman, he chose to adjust his strength to its peak state out of caution.

Don't look down on them just because they are mere Tier 5 Demon Beasts; the opponents had the advantage in numbers.

As a top-tier foodie, Zhang Yi did not want to watch the fat meat right before his eyes slip away again!

After the system finished allocating all the Refining Points.

The next second, Zhang Yi tiptoed toward the constantly moving grass.

When he was about to get close, he finally saw clearly.

This Tier 5 Demon Beast, Senran, was actually a large snake about ten meters long, roughly the thickness of an adult's torso, with fine scales covering its entire body.

Although this guy was much smaller in size compared to the Tier 9 Demon Beast Juman that Zhang Yi and the others had dealt with earlier, it had the advantage of numbers.

Looking at the bulging bellies of these guys, they must have just finished eating not long ago.

At this moment, these three guys were completely unaware that they had been targeted and were still lying lazily on the spot.

They seemed to be savoring their previous delicious meal.

Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Yi understood instantly.

No wonder; before he came out just now, he had clearly heard movement outside.

In just a short while, everything was gone.

It turned out they had been beaten to it by these three guys!

Thinking of this, a nameless fire rose in Zhang Yi's heart.

It felt as if the food that originally belonged to him had been snatched away by someone else.

"Damn it!"

"Stealing food from me? Today, I must make you pay the price!"

Zhang Yi thought to himself and immediately prepared to rush up and teach these three big guys a lesson.

However, he had just made a move.

The next second, the three big guys who were resting with their eyes closed opened their eyes simultaneously.

"Holy crap! Was I discovered already?"

Originally, he wanted to launch a sneak attack, but he didn't expect to be discovered before he even made a move.

Just as he was calculating whether to continue.

As luck would have it, the system's notification came again in his mind.

【Ding! A random task has been issued, please check it!】

【Task Content: Forage Alone — Hunt the Tier 5 Demon Beast Senran!】

【Task Reward: Refining Points +30, Physique +60, Soul +20, Unlock Random Skill +1】

【System Prompt: The Tier 5 Demon Beast Senran has extremely strong combat power, far exceeding ordinary Tier 5 Demon Beasts. If the host is scared, you may choose to give up and run away to save your life!】

Hearing the system's mocking prompt.

Zhang Yi let out a cold snort of disdain.

"Hmph!"

"Cowardly! I, your Young Master, have never known what it means to be a coward in my entire life!"

"A feast delivered to my doorstep, how could I let it go to waste!"

As he spoke, the very next second, he took advantage of the moment before the Senran could launch an attack, flapping his wings and soaring straight into the sky.

"Screech!"

Accompanied by a sharp bird cry.

Zhang Yi did not hesitate in the slightest and directly unleashed his ultimate move, Three Thousand Blazing Flames!

Whoosh!

In an instant, a towering inferno surged up from below.

The three Senran hadn't even reacted to the situation before they were completely surrounded by the sudden, massive fire.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

The scorching heat waves made the three bewildered creatures frantically flick their snake tongues.

Immediately after, one of the big fellows began to roll on the spot, attempting to extinguish the flames rising on its body.

The other two companions on the side took advantage of the fire not yet spreading to them and launched an attack directly at Zhang Yi in mid-air.

Sizzle!

Seeing this, the two big fellows reared up and spat a mouthful of "old phlegm" directly at Zhang Yi in mid-air.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi had sensed their intent in advance and shifted his position before that "old phlegm" could reach him.

The viscous, foul-smelling liquid landed on a nearby tree, and immediately, a "sizzle, sizzle" sound followed.

It looked like this must be the Benming Duyi of the Senran.

Seeing that their attack had failed to take effect, the two big fellows immediately wanted to try another wave.

It was a pity that although their plan was good, Zhang Yi did not intend to continue entangling with these two fellows.

Taking advantage of the time it took for these two big fellows to twist their bodies and adjust their direction.

He had already taken the lead and charged toward the Senran that was still engulfed in rising flames.

However, before he could make a move, a sharp hiss came from behind him.

"Screech!"

Zhang Yi turned his head at the sound.

He saw a large bird flying low with its wings spread in the air not far behind him, approaching his side at full speed.

Seeing the bird, Zhang Yi instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Simply because he recognized this large bird that had arrived.

It was none other than his own Ju Niao Mu Qin, who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.

"My precious son, move aside!"

As the Ju Niao Mu Qin spoke, she immediately extended her sharp talons and grabbed straight toward the Senran that was engulfed in flames.

One must know that their bird species are naturally endowed with a restraining attribute against snakes.

Coupled with the Ju Niao Mu Qin's suppression in rank, hunting this kind of Earth-rank snake was as simple as eating or drinking for the Ju Niao Mu Qin.

Although the Ju Niao Mu Qin had come to help, Zhang Yi still could not set his heart at ease at this moment.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands, and a good tiger cannot withstand a pack of wolves.

The Ju Niao Mu Qin was naturally more than capable of dealing with one Senran, but if she had to deal with three at the same time, the outcome would be unknown.

After all, their family of three previously had a glorious record of working together to take down a Ninth-rank Demon Beast!

Just as he was still hesitating about whether to go up and help.

Another Senran had already seized the opportunity to slither toward the Ju Niao Mu Qin, looking like it intended to make it a two-on-one fight.
