Chapter 504: Chapter 185: The Bloodthirsty and Furious Shadow Demon (8026 words) _4
The woman sneered and said, “How can I trust that you won’t kill me immediately after I tell you?”
Chen Fan said indifferently, “Don’t be too confident, don’t think you have much value… After killing you, I can still get the same information from others in the Nightmare Court.”
The woman shook her head and said, “Unless you can capture a strongman in the Fifth-grade Realm…”
“It’s impossible to extract this information from anyone else.”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows, “Why?”
The woman explained, “People below the Fifth-grade Realm have to be led into those three strongholds by strongmen in the Fifth-grade Realm.”
“Ordinary people might know that the stronghold is in a certain mountain range, but they wouldn’t know the exact location.”
“The reason I know is that…”
At this point, the woman’s eyes dimmed slightly, and after a pause, she continued, “It’s because I’m the concubine of a Grade 7 Grandmaster Realm powerhouse.”
Chen Fan and others exchanged glances but didn’t ask further.
Was what this woman said true or false?
But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false.
When they get to Demon City, they will hand her over to the people there. The strongmen in Demon City have thousands of ways to extract the information they want.
Back at the Soul-breaking Mountain Range, if they encounter members of the Nightmare Court again, they can capture a couple of them, interrogate them, and find out if what she said is true or false.
Chen Fan sat back down on the Cyan Stone and said, “Haozi, Taotao, go and dig out the Crystal Cores of those jungle giant lizards.”
Ye Hao and Shen Daodao nodded and went to work.
Chu Xuan suddenly asked, “Why can your Saber-toothed Orange Cat also use Mental Spike?”
Chen Fan stroked his chin, “Who told you that my Saber-toothed Orange Cat could use Mental Spike?”
Chu Xuan blinked.
He hesitated for a moment.
“Mental Spike” is a skill that has no substance or form; it is a pure psychic attack.
Unless one has a strong psychic power, ordinary people can’t sense it at all.
But during the previous chase when the four of them were chased by the black-robed man with his Fifth-grade Realm and Skeleton Bird, the black-robed man was clearly interrupted twice by “Mental Spike”.
Blackie used “Mental Spike” on him for the first time, but it didn’t work, so he could only fly high into the sky.
Later on, when Blackie was still high in the sky, the black-robed man screamed in pain, clutching his head several times.
The first time he clutched his head and screamed, Chen Fan chopped off his right hand.
Under that kind of situation, besides the Orange Cat, who else among them or their Guardian Beasts could use this psychic attack?
But…
The Orange Cat is only Level 6.
It’s so weak that every time it comes out, it panics and tries to hide behind others.
The Level 9 Soul Devouring Bird’s “Mental Spike” couldn’t penetrate the Fifth-grade Realm defense with a Psychic Barrier.
How could a Level 6 Saber-toothed Orange Cat possibly break through the defense of a Fifth-grade Realm?
Chu Xuan frowned.
He didn’t really want to pry into Chen Fan’s secrets.
But if he couldn’t figure this out, he would indeed feel quite frustrated.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Fan stood up and said, “What are you still thinking about all these messy things?”
Just then…
Chen Fan’s expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, “Haozi, get down!”
Ye Hao, on the other side, was startled.
However, he had absolute faith in Chen Fan’s words and didn’t question what had happened, immediately dropping to the ground and lying on top of a jungle giant lizard!
“Crack!”
With a Thunder Flash, Chen Fan teleported above Ye Hao and slashed wildly with his knife!
“Clang!”
The sound of clashing metals rang out.
A semi-transparent monster appeared, flying out from the void where nothing was before!
The creature wasn’t very big, just a little bigger than Gangzi, and its body was pitch black, like a black fox.
As soon as the creature became visible, it leaped onto a large tree with a whoosh, and then disappeared again with a flicker of its body!
“What is that?”
Chu Xuan and Shen Daodao rushed over.
Ye Hao, frightened, stood up and positioned himself back to back with Chu Xuan, holding up a shield.
Snowy and the Dark-blood Stone Golem immediately formed a circle around them!
“A Level 15 Shadow Demon.”
Chen Fan sneered coldly.
“A leader-level monster?”
Chu Xuan and the others were shocked.
Level 15 monster that can also hide in the shadows…
Chen Fan’s hand gripping the Long Knife tightened.
Chu Xuan and the others couldn’t see the Shadow Demon.
He couldn’t see it either…
But he could see the Attribute Panel!
[Monster Name]: Shadow Demon
[Combat Power Level]: Level 15 (Leader-level)
[Species Level]: Extraordinary/ High
[Monster Attribute]: Shadow
[Species Skills]: Stealth, Accelerated Running, Rending, Stunning Claws, Armor-Piercing Blade
[Monster Status]: Frenzied, Bloodthirsty
The Shadow Demon’s Attribute Panel in Chen Fan’s vision was moving rapidly all around!
Chu Xuan furrowed his brows and asked solemnly, “What do we do now?”
Chen Fan said indifferently, “Just let all the Guardian Beasts return to the Beastmaster’s Space, and you guys keep holding up the shields.”
Snowy, the Dark-blood Stone Golem, and the others immediately went back to the Beastmaster’s Space.
Only Blackie flew back and forth in the sky.
Among all these guardian beasts, perhaps only Level 12 Little Qing could face a Level 15 monster head-on.
But this kind of monster can infiltrate into the shadows and launch sneak attacks, and Little Qing would probably find it difficult to withstand.
Shen Daodao suddenly said, “Brother Fan, can we capture it alive?”
“Even for a shadow-type monster, being able to use stealth is extremely rare.”
“If we can capture it and have it become our Guardian Beast, our strength would significantly increase!”
