I let you be a fugitive, not to set up a private army.

The old man only used three brutal moves, and his strength declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Jiajun didn't waste any more time. While holding the lava chain in his left hand to bind the old man's body, he gathered Qi into a blade with his right hand.

A steam sword with black and red magma swirling around it condensed, and it killed the monster in front of it with one sword.

He cleared the steam from his body, and the chains transformed back into bracelets, then he picked up the monster core on the ground.

[Boss Monster Core: Energy Coefficient 22000]

No wonder he can kick himself into sixth gear!

His weapon also fell to the ground: [Strange Weapon Hatchet: Combat Power Coefficient 20000]

He sat down and began to refine the monster core. The polluted energy was used to strengthen the chains and white lanterns. The chains, which originally had a combat power coefficient of 1.1, became 2, and the white lanterns, which originally had a combat power coefficient of 1.6, became 1.8.

After absorbing the pure energy core, its combat power coefficient, which was originally 3.6, reached 4.7.

Then spend 100 Dragon Soul Coins and put the hatchet into the item space.

After doing all this, take out the white lantern and continue walking towards the village.

……

Next to the stone tablet with "Yucai Village" engraved on it at the central entrance of the village, there squatted a tall, slovenly young man, watching with great interest the ants on the ground carrying food.

Behind him were four or five children, some of whom were making faces at the man, while others were throwing mud.

"Come and catch me, you idiot."

"Dasha, Dasha, Lululu..."

As the man turned around and started walking, the children were frightened and scattered.

"Help, Dasha is chasing us."

"Don't chase me, don't chase me..."

After chasing for a few steps, the sloppy man shook his head and returned to the stone tablet, but did not continue to look at the ants.

Instead, he looked at the figure approaching and said, "Go back, Demon Hunter. This village is extremely dangerous. It is not a place you should come to, even if you can sneak in through the haunted house at the entrance of the village."

When he noticed the white lantern in the hand of the approaching figure, his expression changed slightly: "Didn't you meet our village chief? That shouldn't be the case. I clearly saw the village chief walk out."

"Village chief? The old man holding the hatchet?" Chen Jiajun said. His current 'danger perception' could detect whether the other party had malicious intentions or not.

"Yes," the slovenly man continued, "every demon hunter who came here before couldn't escape the village chief's eyes. How did you do it?"

Whenever the village’s white lanterns were taken away, the village chief would leave the village with a knife.

For decades here, no matter where the white lantern was taken, the village chief would go out and bring it back, without exception.

I heard back: "I killed him."

“Kill him?!”

A look of surprise crossed the slovenly man's face. "Impossible! How could you possibly kill the village chief?"

If the human combat power exceeds an energy coefficient of 10,000, it will not be able to withstand the pollution and will turn into a monster, losing its humanity.

The village chief is simply not something a demon hunter can deal with, unless they gather countless demon hunters and set up a big trap. That's probably it.

"Where are the others?" he inquired.

"Only me."

"Just you?" The sloppy man's face became extremely surprised.

But I knew in my heart...the person in front of me was not lying.

"Could it be..."

His eyes lit up faintly. "Demon Hunter, what's the situation outside the village now? Has the individual strength of humans experienced an explosive growth?"

"I don't know." Chen Jiajun paused, "I just woke up next to the village. I don't know anything about the outside world."

"Is this so!"

The slovenly man looked at the person in front of him suspiciously. This sentence didn't seem to be true. "Are you a monster or a human?"

In his perception, the demon hunter exuded the aura of a monster, but also because of his own special ability, he could feel the fresh breath of human beings beneath the other party's appearance.

Of course, demon hunters have ways to conceal their own "active" aura, making it impossible for most monsters to identify them.

Another possibility is that some special monsters can also conceal the aura of "death" and disguise themselves as humans.

"Human." Chen Jiajun replied, and the lively aura on his body was covered up by his murderous intent.

This was discovered when she was lost in the mountains outside the village. If she didn't cover it up, the woman would lose her humanity and pounce on her directly. It would be useless to try to kill her several times in a row.

After a while, she will appear again, repeating the cycle endlessly, unable to leave the forest.

Gradually, he discovered that he could disguise himself as the other party, that is, a monster, by using murderous intent as a cover.

The woman would not change on the spot!

This is also the reason why he knew that the woman was not a living person, and why he followed her all the way and finally found the way out of the lost mountains.

There are many ways to do this, maybe tricking the old woman into getting into the village, or even sneaking into the lonely house at the entrance.

But for myself, it is more appropriate to use the simplest and most brutal method: to break all methods with killing!

Kill if you can, if you can't, then endure it for the time being and tear open the space to escape back to Earth.

"Humans? I finally see a human breaking through the 10,000 energy coefficient barrier."

A glint of joy flashed across the scruffy man's eyes. "Ever since the Black Moon appeared a hundred years ago, life has been incredibly difficult for the human race in this world. I was so disheartened at one point that I thought our race was going to be eliminated and exterminated."

Back then, he was also a demon hunter.

Since coming here to investigate and after his death, perhaps due to his obsession, he accidentally became the 'guardian' of this village. This is what the monsters in the village call him.

At the same time, you will have a pure heart and be able to see at a glance whether others are lying.

Of course, he is no longer human now.

After calming down, the slovenly man said, "You should go back. With the village chief dead, big trouble will come soon. Wait until daytime, which is what we monsters call 'night', when that thing will appear."

"what?"

"I can't name it. It's indescribable."

The slovenly man continued, "You are still young. You shouldn't die here in vain."

"Maybe I won't die." Chen Jiajun replied seriously.

Not lying!

The slovenly man paused and said, "Be careful. I may not be able to help you. During the day, my consciousness is hazy and I am no longer human."

"Ah."

Chen Jiajun walked past the sloppy man and entered the village where smoke was curling up in the night.

Behind me, the children hiding behind some houses and trees ran out again:

"Dasha, what were you talking about with that stranger just now?"

"Who threw mud at me just now?" The sloppy man turned around, frowned, and took a step forward.

"Oh my god, run! Dasha is chasing us."

"Run, run."

A group of children ran away in an instant, making a lot of noise.

At the same time, several adults roared:

"You're still playing around. You don't know how to help with the housework. You're so ignorant at your age."

"Go back and eat, and don't come out again today..."

Faced with the scolding, the smiles on the children's faces disappeared instantly, and they lowered their heads and walked into their respective cages.
