Wu Shattered Star River

The Demon Sound Beast wasn't large, only about the size of a goat, but its head was as big as an ox's body.

It had four legs, but it wasn't very fast. Its main means of attack was its roar and its sharp teeth.

Jiang Han sprinted forward. The Demon Sound Beast looked wary, baring its teeth and letting out low growls. The sound wasn't loud, but it already made Jiang Han feel uncomfortable.

A hundred zhang, fifty zhang, thirty zhang.

"Roar, roar ~"

The Demon Sound Beast's cheeks puffed up, and it let out a loud roar. Jiang Han, who was running forward, suddenly trembled, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.

His head felt like it was about to explode, and his eardrums were throbbing.

He supported himself on the ground with his hands, trying to stand up. An idea flashed in his mind. He pretended to struggle a few times, then lay on the ground, motionless.

He wanted to play dead to see if the Demon Sound Beast would lower its guard and come over to devour his body. Then he could use his divine power to launch a sneak attack and kill the Demon Sound Beast in one blow.

He underestimated the Demon Sound Beast's intelligence. The Demon Sound Beast didn't come over. Instead, it stared at Jiang Han for a while, then slowly retreated.

Jiang Han had no choice but to get up. Taking advantage of the Demon Sound Beast's turning around, he increased his speed, holding his knife and quickly closing the distance.

"Roar ~"

The Demon Sound Beast was startled and immediately let out a loud roar. This time, Jiang Han was prepared. With a Shift Shadow, he appeared thirty feet to the left.

Perhaps because he wasn't directly facing the Demon Sound Beast, this roar, although he was closer, didn't make Jiang Han feel as uncomfortable as before.

Jiang Han was excited. He started running at full speed, circling the Demon Sound Beast, constantly using the Shift Shadow divine power.

He always kept himself behind the Demon Sound Beast, so as not to directly face it. The demonic sound he endured wouldn't be so terrifying.

Jiang Han circled quickly like this, gradually closing the distance with the Demon Sound Beast.

"Roar ~"

The Demon Sound Beast roared continuously. The closer Jiang Han got, the more dizzy and nauseous he felt, even behind the Demon Sound Beast.

Blood started to seep from his eardrums, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

"I'll risk it!"

When he was ten zhang away from the Demon Sound Beast, Jiang Han roared and sprinted forward. Halfway there, he used Shift Shadow to appear behind the Demon Sound Beast.

"Roar, roar ~"

Perhaps sensing the threat of death, the Demon Sound Beast roared continuously.

This roar was even stronger than the final roar of the Demon Sound Beast he had killed before. Jiang Han instantly bled from all seven orifices, his body went limp, and he didn't even have the strength to hold his knife.

The Demon Sound Beast that Jiang Han had killed before had been severely injured by Jiang Lang's divine talisman. Even its last roar before death wasn't very powerful because its body was weak.

But now, this Demon Sound Beast was in its prime. Jiang Han's soul was too weak. If he hadn't taken the pills given to him by Jiang Lang, he would have been directly killed by the sound.

The Demon Sound Beast turned around, its huge head facing Jiang Han. Its cheeks began to puff up.

Jiang Han's heart trembled. He looked at the huge mouth, which felt like the scythe of the Grim Reaper. As soon as the mouth opened, the scythe would slash down hard on his neck.

Under the stimulation of the crisis of life and death, Jiang Han frantically circulated his Xuan Power. At the same time, he bit his tongue hard. The severe pain made his head clearer.

He forcibly used Shift Shadow, and his body flashed, appearing on the back of the Demon Sound Beast. He swung his knife with all his might and shouted, "Die, you bastard!"

"Roar!"

The Demon Sound Beast let out another huge roar, and blood gushed from Jiang Han's seven orifices again. His head felt like it was about to explode.

But at this moment, he was like a madman, with only one thought in his mind.

Swing the knife, swing the knife, swing the knife!

The battle knife heavily struck the Demon Sound Beast's head, and the powerful force shattered the Demon Sound Beast's head.

The Demon Sound Beast crashed to the ground. Jiang Han rolled down with it, convulsing on the ground, completely unable to move, without a trace of strength.

"Yo yo ~"

From his sleeve, the little fox emerged, calling out with concern.

Jiang Han didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. His breathing became extremely weak, and blood was still seeping from his seven orifices.

"Awoo ~"

A loud roar suddenly sounded in the distance. Jiang Han's heart trembled when he heard the roar.

He thought to himself, 'Is my luck that bad? There just happens to be a monster nearby? And judging from the roar, it sounds like a second-order monster.'

Jiang Han really wanted to struggle to get up, dig out the Demon Sound Beast's demon core, and then escape to the underground.

But he really didn't have the strength. Not to mention struggling to get up, he felt like he was using all his strength just to open his eyes a crack.

"Yo yo ~"

The little fox looked up in the direction of the roar. It called out to Jiang Han twice, then its body flashed and rushed towards the direction of the roar.

"Is this little fox going to help me stop the monster?"

A thought flashed in Jiang Han's mind, and he was greatly moved. He forced himself to cheer up, adjusted a trace of Xuan Power, and began to circulate it throughout his body to speed up his recovery.

Ten breaths of time later, Jiang Han finally recovered a trace of strength. He struggled to sit up and looked in the direction where the little fox had run.

After the little fox rushed over, there was no movement at all.

He didn't hear the little fox's cries, nor did he hear the sound of fighting. The approaching second-order monster didn't roar again.

"First, dig out the demon core!"

Jiang Han took two deep breaths and laboriously picked up the knife, split open the Demon Sound Beast's body, and dug out the demon core.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the underground to rest first or go to see the little fox, a white shadow flew over and appeared in front of Jiang Han. The little fox had actually returned.

"Not injured?"

Jiang Han was stunned. The little fox didn't have any injuries on its body, no bloodstains. Could it be that the second-order monster was scared away by it?

"Go!"

Jiang Han didn't care so much. He dug a hole and drilled into the ground first.

After traveling hundreds of zhang underground, Jiang Han dug out a small cave and sat down to rest.

He swallowed a healing pill and circulated his energy to heal his injuries.

He recalled the battle with the Demon Sound Beast in his mind and began to deduce various details to see if there was a more effective way to kill it.

With the current method, he was risking his life. If he wasn't careful, he might be killed by the Demon Sound Beast.

Even if he managed to kill it, he would be very weak. If a monster attacked nearby, he would have no power to fight back.

Unfortunately, Jiang Han thought about it, but he didn't have any good ideas. The Demon Sound Beast's demonic sound attack was all-encompassing. As long as you got close to it, you would be hit, impossible to defend against.

"That's right!"

Jiang Han remembered the second-order monster that had approached just now. He took out the little fox and asked, "Little fox, was there a monster that came just now?"

The little fox actually nodded, as if it could understand Jiang Han's words.

Jiang Han was greatly surprised and tentatively asked again, "Did you scare it away?"

The little fox raised its head high and raised its two small paws, scratching a few times. Jiang Han was stunned and asked, "Did you beat it away?"

The little fox nodded again, and Jiang Han was dumbfounded.

This little fox was only the size of a fist. Although it was very fast, it didn't seem to have the beastly aura of any powerful monster.

Not to mention a second-order monster, even the beastly aura of a first-order monster was several times stronger than it. It could actually repel a second-order monster?

A thought flashed in his mind, and he tentatively asked again, "Then are you afraid of the Demon Sound Beast? The Demon Sound Beast that I killed just now, can you help me kill the Demon Sound Beast?"

A trace of confusion appeared in the little fox's eyes. After a while, it nodded again.

"Damn..."

Jiang Han was completely stunned by the little fox. What kind of breed is this little fox? What level of monster is it? Could it be the cub of a third-order monster…

If it was a third-order monster, with such high intelligence, then it must have a strong hatred for humans.

Why is it so close to him? Why is it following him, a low-level martial artist?
