Chapter 81: Holy crap! A human-demon hybrid!

"Terrifying! My coolness factor! You're amazing, my brother!"

Xu Que stood on the mountaintop, looking up at the white clouds drifting by, listening to the system notifications still echoing in his mind, feeling deeply moved.

A gentle breeze blew, his clothes fluttered slightly, and from a distance, it looked as if an expert was sighing at the loneliness of being invincible under heaven.

The next moment, several figures passed by from a nearby deep forest, talking about something as they walked.

Xu Que happened to glance over and was immediately stunned: "Holy crap, am I seeing things? What's up with those people? Why did it look like one guy had horns on his head and another had a tail?"

The figures had already disappeared from view, but Xu Que was still very surprised. He had seen clearly that those figures were definitely human in shape and were wearing clothes, yet they didn't seem to be complete humans.

"Did aliens invade the cultivation world?" Xu Que widened his eyes and began to think carefully.

Soon, his eyes lit up: "Right, I almost forgot that besides humans and demon beasts, there exists an alien race in this cultivation world. But this alien race... wasn't it said to be nearly extinct?"

He felt quite puzzled. According to the memories of the original owner of this body, the alien race was actually half-human, half-demon.

They were the descendants of humans and demons. They were once very powerful; they were born in human form but would carry some demon beast characteristics—some kept horns, some kept tails, and some kept wings.

But later, as the relationship between humans and demon beasts deteriorated completely, the alien race fell into an awkward position. Both sides treated them as enemies, shouting to kill them, and in the end, they could only hide away and rarely appeared again.

Some said this race was extinct, but others had occasionally seen their traces in some wild mountains and forests; there were all sorts of legends.

Xu Que didn't expect that he would encounter a few of these legendary alien beings in this wilderness when he just wanted to find a remote place to undergo his tribulation.

"Interesting, this is the authentic human-demon hybrid." Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth and followed them with great interest.

It wasn't that he was interested in human-demon hybrids, but he wanted to see what those sneaky alien beings were up to. Maybe he could earn some Acting Cool Points again!

Stepping on the Three Thousand Thunder Movement, Xu Que flashed away from the mountaintop.

Soon, he approached behind those alien beings and discovered that all three of them were at the Golden Core stage, and all were male.

One had two horns on his head, another had a furry tail, and the third one was even more impressive: the upper body was human, and the lower body was a snake!

"Hiss!"

Xu Que gasped, unable to help but sigh. Was this a human screwing a snake, or a snake screwing a human? If it was the former, he had to admire them—they were practically the second generation of Xu Xian.

At the same time, the conversation of the alien beings drifted over.

"This time we really have to catch a few tender children to take back, otherwise the Great King will definitely be angry."

"Yeah! Last time we caught an old man, the Great King chewed until his teeth were jammed. He was furious for three days and beat Little Six until he was crippled."

"This time is different. The Great King values this lightning tribulation sacrifice very much and is determined to win the position of the new Demon Emperor. If we don't catch a few human children to offer up, we'll definitely be beaten to a pulp too."

"Let's hurry. I discovered a few children a few days ago who often play by the lake. There's also a naughty one who keeps shouting that 'Tai Shang Bu Yi' is the King of Acting Cool. We just need to target them."

"Good!"

After they finished speaking, they accelerated their pace toward the foot of the mountain.

Xu Que raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Damn, I thought these alien beings were good people. I didn't expect them to be like demon beasts, eating people too!"

He calmly restrained all his aura and followed behind the alien beings all the way.

Soon, they arrived at a lake at the foot of the mountain.

The alien beings all stopped and hid in a large tree, and the snake-tailed man was also slippery, diving directly into the lake.

Xu Que walked slowly to the edge of the woods. He scanned the area and saw a few children playing at the end of the mountain path, running toward the lake.

Before long, they reached the lakeside. One child picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake, splashing up a series of water sprays.

Vaguely, Xu Que seemed to hear the snake-tailed man in the lake let out a cry of pain.

"Sigh, these bear children really know how to play. But their parents are really something, not even watching them, letting the little kids run around the lake like this. What if... what if they ruin the flowers and grass and destroy the environment?" Xu Que couldn't help but worry about the environmental awareness of the humans in this world.

"Splash!"

Just then, a loud noise erupted from the lake surface, and a large spray of water burst out.

"Hehe, little brother, is it fun to throw stones into the water? Let me take you to play something even more fun!"

The snake-tailed man lunged out of the lake, opened his arms wide, and pounced toward the children with a ferocious grin.

Almost simultaneously, the two alien beings hiding in the tree by the lake also jumped down, directly blocking the children's retreat.

"Ah..."

"Daddy... Mommy... Save me!"

The children were immediately terrified and began to wail, snot hanging all over their faces!

"Human children are so annoying. Hurry up and knock them out, don't alert the humans." The man with horns on his head frowned.

The three of them closed in on the children together.

"Bold demon! In broad daylight, under the bright sky, you dare to bully children by the lake? Stop right there!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, accompanied by flashes of lightning, Xu Que stepped on the Three Thousand Thunder Movement, shouted in a deep voice, and swooped down from the sky, landing directly in front of them.

The children and the three alien beings were all stunned, staring blankly at him.

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth, gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler, pointed the tip directly at the three alien beings, and sneered: "This road was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. Did you get the permission of me, the Divine Eagle Hero Yang Guo, to snatch children on my Zha Tian Bang's territory?"

Apparently, this guy was tired of acting as Hua Wuque and had now changed to acting as Yang Guo.

However, his entrance was quite domineering—first a thunderclap on flat ground, then his flashy appearance—which clearly intimidated the three alien beings.

And these three alien beings saw that Xu Que was a cultivator, so their expressions changed immediately, filled with panic.

"Oh no, we've been discovered by a human cultivator."

"We've been hiding from the world for so many years, could it be that today..."

The snake-tailed man narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "No, we must kill this person, otherwise our race's traces will be leaked, and we will definitely suffer!"

"Old Snake, you watch the human children. This person is only at the Golden Core stage perfection; we can handle him." The man with horns on his head nodded slightly, his eyes already filled with murderous intent.

Xu Que found it amusing and shook his head: "I haven't even said I wanted to kill you, yet you want to kill me? Come on then, I'll give you ten moves!"

The man with horns on his head gritted his teeth and laughed angrily: "Heh, what big talk. We don't need you to give us anything, I..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish, Xu Que smashed the Heavy Xuan Ruler directly onto the man's head. The two sharp horns shattered into pieces instantly, and a trickle of blood slid down the man's forehead.

The man looked dazed, staring blankly at Xu Que.

Xu Que said righteously: "Why are you looking at me? Didn't you say you didn't need me to give you anything?"

"Bang!"

The man rolled his eyes, didn't even have time to groan, and fell heavily to the ground, dying on the spot!

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for killing a Golden Core stage alien. Reward: 50,000 experience and one Golden Core!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

The system notifications followed immediately. Xu Que's gaze swept toward the other two: "Come on, it's your turn. Tell me, how many moves do you want me to give you?"

The two alien beings were filled with terror, so scared they couldn't even speak, and turned to run.

Xu Que watched as they didn't even know any movement techniques and were just running for their lives on foot. Especially the snake-tailed man—although he had no legs, he wasn't slow.

Xu Que couldn't help but shake his head, turned to look at the children, and said: "This hero is going to catch those two bad guys. You guys hurry home and don't run around everywhere in the future, understand?"

"Understood, thank you Divine Eagle Hero!" The children nodded repeatedly like chickens pecking at rice.

"Good! Go quickly." Xu Que smiled, then lifted the Heavy Xuan Ruler and went to chase the two alien beings.

After saying that, he carried the Heavy Xuan Ruler, stepped on lightning, and chased directly after the two alien beings. His back gradually became smaller...

The children were all stunned. One of them even muttered: "The Divine Eagle Hero is so amazing. When I grow up, I'll marry him!"

"Er Dan, you're a boy."

"Then... then I'll marry my mommy to him."

"Then your daddy will beat you to death." ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
