“The killer is very strong. Its teeth and claws are very sharp. It might be some powerful beast.”

Zhou Chen determined based on the tragic state of the villagers’ corpses.

“Its defensive power should be quite high; at least, it’s not afraid of ordinary weapons.” 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Zhou Chen found hoes, kitchen knives, machetes, and other cold weapons in the hands of many villagers’ corpses, but there was no blood on these weapons, only a few yellow hairs.

“From the traces on the ground, that beast should have left not long ago and gone to the mountains there.”

Zhou Chen was able to determine the direction of the killer because the other party did not hide anything. It was not difficult to obtain this information.

“I wonder if there will be a drop from killing such a ferocious wild beast. If there is, it wouldn’t be a cultivation technique, right?”

“According to the information I obtained earlier, this place is still quite far from the town. The town is closer to that mountain, so it shouldn’t delay much time.”

Zhou Chen decided to follow the direction of the killer and hunt it. This was mainly to confirm if there would be any special drops after killing this powerful beast.

The beast had left just recently as evidenced by the obvious footprints and other marks. Before long, Zhou Chen entered the mountains seven to eight kilometers away and began to search.

This mountainous region was not tall and imposing. Most of them were only about a hundred meters tall. The mountains were lush and looked full of vitality.

If it were anyone else, it would definitely be difficult to find a wild beast. After all, the terrain here was rugged, and trees and stones could hide one’s traces. If a wild beast randomly found a place to burrow, it would be difficult to discover it.

However, Zhou Chen had the Bloodthirst passive skill. As long as any creature with blood flowing in its body was within 300 meters of him, they would immediately be discovered.

“There seems to be a sheep at the bottom of the slope ahead. There should be a rabbit hiding underground on the side. There are also some birds and other small animals in the woods over there.”

Through the Bloodthirst passive skill, Zhou Chen could not only determine the target’s location, but also roughly determine the species of the other party. From the looks of it, these animals were not the target he was looking for.

“Its body is definitely not small, its blood should be very vigorous.”

Zhou Chen speculated on the target’s characteristics. He quickly moved in the mountain range and searched for the target.

About half an hour later, he found something near a stream.

“I sense very rich blood flow about 200 meters ahead. From the outline of the blood flow, it seems to be a… giant?”

Zhou Chen was puzzled. The other party looked like a person from the distribution of blood, but its body was clearly too large. It was actually more than three meters tall.

“Could this person be someone who practices special techniques?”

He was interested and quietly walked toward the person.

Half a minute later, Zhou Chen stuck his head out from behind a large stone.

Then, he saw that dozens of meters in front of him, beside a stream, a huge man was lying on the ground drinking water.

The large man had a strange appearance. He was extremely burly and was naked, but his body was covered in brownish-yellow hair. There were also black stripes on it, making him look like he had tiger skin.

“Did a tiger transform?”

Zhou Chen guessed.

The appearance of the creature in front of him and the characteristics of this world made him think of this.

“This guy seems to be very strong. It won’t be easy to kill him.”

Zhou Chen thought to himself as he observed the tiger that had gained sentience drinking water.

Although he was never afraid of battle, he would still choose his target in battle. It was impossible for him to rush toward an enemy that was clearly much stronger than him.

“I should be able to kill it, but there are some risks.”

Zhou Chen was slightly conflicted because the other party was very strong and could possess a threat to him. The benefits of killing the other party were not clear, and it was even possible that he would gain nothing at all.

“Since I’m already here, should I…”

Just as Zhou Chen was about to make a decision, he suddenly realized that the giant had disappeared. At the same time, a shadow appeared above his head, and a tiger claw the size of his head was slapping down at him!

“So fast!”

Zhou Chen immediately knew that he had been exposed. He quickly activated Windrun and fled from the tiger claws. At the same time, a charred spear appeared in his hand.

The giant that seemed to be a tiger spirit stood up from the stone that had been crushed by its claws and looked at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen finally saw the giant’s appearance clearly. The outline of its head looked like a human’s, but its face was similar to a tiger’s. A pair of brownish-yellow tiger eyes were staring at him coldly. Two pairs of fangs were revealed from its mouth, looking very terrifying.

“Human… Food…”

It seemed to be able to speak, but its words were not clear and its meaning was not coherent.

However, before Zhou Chen could understand what it wanted to say, it pounced at him again at an extremely fast speed.

Zhou Chen no longer hesitated and completely entered a combat state. He also charged at the charging giant and stabbed the charred spear at its chest.

However, not only was the tiger-like giant’s speed astonishing, but its strength and nimbleness were also very terrifying. Before Zhou Chen’s spear could stab it, it had already been smashed to the side by its claws.

Zhou Chen immediately exerted strength on his legs to change his direction and dodge the giant’s follow-up attack. His spear also scraped off a few hairs on its arm.

“What a tough body. What strength. My spear was almost knocked out of my hand. If it hits me, it probably won’t just be light injuries.”

Zhou Chen calmed down. The short exchange just now had let him know that this enemy was stronger than he had expected.

However, it was impossible for him to stop now. Since the battle had already begun, he had to win.

“Shield! Corpse Poison! Rebound!”

Zhou Chen immediately activated three passive skills that were originally deactivated. Then, he charged over with the charred iron spear again.

A huge battle immediately began by the stream. Two shadows, one large and one small, flew and collided, making the air around them tremble. The trembling sound was mixed with a few rumbling sounds.

A few seconds later, the two figures separated and dodged to the side.

The tiger-like giant’s expression darkened slightly. There were obvious depressions on its body and blood was flowing from the corners of its mouth. It looked to have suffered significant injuries.

Zhou Chen was in no better condition. He was also bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and there were a few claw marks on his body. The charred spear had also been broken in two..
