Instead of Checking In Regularly: I Hide And Cultivate In The Monster-quelling Tower And Become Invi

Chapter 37: Counterattack

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Among the five of them, one of them was the employer who issued the mission. She was a woman around 25 years old. Her name was Li Xin, and she had a Gold Eight-Star cultivation.

The other three had Gold Four-Star, Gold Five-Star, and Gold Seven-Star cultivation respectively.

On the way, they encountered a demon beast that was looking for food. It was a Thunder Ape with a Gold Five-Star cultivation.

The lightning apes were agile and were good at climbing and jumping. Their attacks were as sharp as lightning. They had the habit of eating their own kind and preferred to prey on other creatures.

Li Xin and the Gold Seven-Star Demon Hunter looked down on the Gold Five-Star Thunder Ape. They felt that its level was low and its meat was not nourishing enough.

Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body and the other two Demon Hunters showed enough interest in that lightning ape. For Demon Hunters of their level, the lightning ape meat was suitable for them to eat.

Hence, the three of them joined forces to kill the Gold Five-Star Thunder Ape.

In the end, Zhou Xuan used Demon Ox Boxing Style and exploded the lightning ape’s head, indicating that the battle was over.

The few of them took some lightning ape meat and ate it as lunch.

The area they were in was already within the range of the Gold-rank demon beasts.

If they went deeper, they would reach the range of Platinum-level demon beasts. If they encountered Platinum-level demon beasts, they would not be able to defeat them and could only escape.

Yesterday, they found traces of a battle nearby. Today, they specially came here to continue searching.

Employer Li Xin expressed concern that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be, and said she had to find the target today.

Suddenly, a green light appeared on Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body’s head.

Zhou Xuan’s Astral Soul was a Nine Leaf Sword Grass, a plant-type Astral Soul. Although his Previous Life Dao Body was a Dao Body cultivated, it was no different from his true body. He also had an Astral Soul, and it was also a Nine Leaf Sword Grass.

When his Astral Soul evolved into the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, he obtained a special ability that allowed him to communicate with the surrounding plants and sense everything within a ten-kilometer radius.

In this deep mountain, there were plants everywhere. His value was displayed.

He stood on the ground and sensed carefully, indicating that there was someone in the canyon to the northeast.

Others also expressed doubts, but there were no new clues. In the end, they could only choose to believe it.

Li Xin was the fastest. She was in front while the others followed closely behind. The five of them headed straight for the canyon in the northeast.

As expected, when they arrived at the canyon nine kilometers away, they saw four people fighting the three black bear demons.

At that moment, Li Xin and the others were amazed by the ability displayed by Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body.

Among the four people opposite him was a young man. He was the target that everyone was looking for this time. He was also Li Xin’s younger brother, Li Fei.

Upon closer inspection, the young man was the handsome young man who had been captured by the murderer, Qi Hai, to the straw hut in the suburbs that night.

Li Fei’s clothes were tattered and his body was covered in blood. He had experienced many battles in the past few days.

The other three were teammates Li Fei had recruited from the Demon Hunter Association.

Everyone was naturally overjoyed that they had found their target. This meant that they had obtained a sum of money.

As Li Xin and the others joined the battle, they quickly killed the three black bear demons.

When Li Fei saw Li Xin arrive, he wiped his sweat and was very happy.

Li Xin looked at her brother in ragged clothes and her eyes turned red. She was both worried and heartbroken.

Suddenly, she slapped Li Fei’s face and said, “Do you know how worried we were about you when you went out to hunt demon beasts without permission?”

It turned out that Li Fei had only left a letter for his family before sneaking out to hunt demonic beasts.

“Sister, why did you hit me?” The 14-year-old Li Fei felt a little wronged and said, “I just want to work hard to cultivate and increase my cultivation level. Then, I’ll go to Yang City to hunt demon beasts and take revenge.”

It turned out that Li Xin and Li Fei’s mother had also died in the beast tide in Yang City more than three months ago.

From then on, Li Fei swore to cultivate diligently and kill all the demon beasts near Yang City to avenge his mother.

Li Xin’s eyes were red as she scolded, “You came to such a place on your own accord. Not to mention taking revenge, even you will be implicated.”

Li Fei was clearly unconvinced and said, “Only by experiencing life and death can I truly grow. I don’t want to be a flower in a greenhouse. Besides, I have teammates.”

He was not stupid. Even if he went into the mountains to hunt demon beasts, he had recruited three Gold-rank teammates.

“Furthermore, after these two days of life-and-death battles, I broke through and am now a Silver Eight-Star,” he continued.

“Alright, stop talking. Come back with me now and recover first.” Li Xin’s heart ached for her younger brother.

Since Li Xin had found this place, he naturally had to follow her back. In any case, he had more or less trained in the past few days.

Li Fei also recognized Chu Xunhuan, and still called him “Hero”.

That night, when Zhou Xuan killed Qi Hai to save him, he had transformed into Chu Xunhuan.

At that time, Li Fei was still crying. Now, it seemed that Li Fei had grown up a little.

Now that they had found her, Li Xin was straightforward and cashed in the promised rewards to everyone.

Then, she brought Li Fei and his three teammates down the mountain.

Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body and the other three received their rewards and left.

He did not go down the mountain immediately. He planned to kill monsters on the mountain to level up. Anyway, this was only a Daoist Body and had the Health Lock skill. He was not afraid of danger.

However, the first opponent he encountered was not a demon beast, but a person. It was the Gold Five-Star Demon Hunter who was doing the mission with them.

Previously, they had been doing missions together and hunting lightning apes together.

At this moment, the other party was holding a large saber and blocking his path.

It turned out that that person was tempted by money. With his Gold Five-Star cultivation, he had already killed the other Gold Four-Star Demon Hunter and robbed him of his money.

Now, Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body was the other party’s second target.

Not only did the other party want to rob him of his wealth, but he also wanted to silence him. He issued a warning, telling Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body not to struggle fearlessly.

Regarding this, Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body was calm. In this deep mountain, killing and robbing were too common. In any case, no one cared.

He naturally did not sit still and wait for death. He immediately activated his ultimate move and circulated the Dragon Power Technique. He transformed into a white dragon and charged towards the Gold Five-Star Demon Hunter opposite him.

The Dragon Power Technique was too mysterious. The might of the white dragon shocked the surroundings. It opened its mouth and bit the robber to death.

Although the other party was a Gold Five-Star Demon Hunter, he did not even have the chance to use his Astral Soul when facing Zhou Xuan, who had the Dragon Power Technique.

A perfect counterattack showed what true strength was!

Just like that, the other party reaped what he sowed. Not only did he lose his life, he even sent all the money he had into the pocket of Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body.

Zhou Xuan’s Previous Life Dao Body calmly killed someone, took the money, and continued to search for demon beasts.

Zhou Xuan himself was far away in the Demon Subduing Pagoda of the Demon Subduing Academy. He was also calmly feeling all of this.

Although they were very far apart, he knew what the Previous Life Dao Body did.

Furthermore, the Previous Life Dao Body had to listen to him.

He muttered in his heart, “I’ll develop in peace while you farm monsters and level up. The results will be shared. It’s perfect!”
