The night was dark, the mountains were like sleeping beasts, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the stars and moons were completely gone.

A dark and windy night.

The silver-white giant dog crept out of the dense forest, its hideous and slightly slender head with a bit of elegant beauty, and at the shoulder blades, legs and ankles, clusters of silver shiny manes were like clusters of jumping and burning silver flames.

Since the consumption of demon meat that day caused the degree of blood fusion of the Sky Cloud Dog to skyrocket, the growth rate of Lan Ya's body size has become faster and faster, and the hair on his body has gradually changed from the pure white of the Cloud Dog to the crystal silver.

Lanya sniffed the ground carefully, and then looked around, and behind him, several large gray-skinned dogs with nearly human height came out of the dense forest, and shook their heads at the giant dogs humanely.

A look of disappointment flashed in Lanya's eyes.

Since the discovery of the system panel that day, Ranya has been working hard to complete the second branch mission.

Hunter's Milestone - Hunt ten creatures with no less health than you alone.

As he continues to grow stronger, Ranya can only continue to seek and hunt more powerful prey.

In the past few months, he has hunted nine creatures whose life strength is not weaker than his, except for the first three are extremely strong herbivores, the next six are all fierce predators, each of them, Lan Ya almost had to go through a hard battle to succeed, especially the last one, which is a vigorous and agile spotted leopard with a much larger body size, and he almost got injured before taking it down.

And in this process, Lanya also intends to temper himself, after every hunt, he is not in a hurry, sums up his experience, and then hunts stronger prey, it can be said that this is a month of Lanya's rebirth, and he is already a qualified predator.

While the other puppies who were much older than Ranya were still playful, Ranya had become a fierce predator, and he seemed to be out of place with the other demon dogs.

Rumors about him began to spread among the clan - it was said that he was a terrifying little cloud dog that was rumored to be crazy and bloodthirsty and loved to hunt.

Wang Heng felt that he was very innocent, he was just trying to complete the task.

In the later stages of the hunt, Lanya was no longer able to find suitable prey around the Rock Peak Mountain, and he took a few experienced old dogs and began to expand his hunting range.

The old dogs said that there was a powerful black tiger moving in the forest, and Ranya made it his last target, but he couldn't find any trace of it after three days of searching, and he was considering whether to give up.

Suddenly, another old scarface dog came out of the forest and came to Lanya's body, and with a low "Wang" a few times, Lanya's eyes suddenly lit up.

......

The silver giant dog whirlwind through the mountain stream and old forest, its shining mane fluttering in the wind, and the trees around it seemed to be the reflection of speeding by, but in a dozen breaths, Lanya came to the place where Scarface said he had found the black tiger.

The strong smell of blood wafted in the wind, and Araiya hid in the jungle on the side of the mountain, looking up, and soon took in everything in front of him.

A tiger of astonishing size feasts on its freshly hunted prey halfway up a hillside.

And its prey, Lan Ya paid more attention, and it was a broken and mutilated human corpse.

There were broken bows and arrows around the corpse, broken animal skin clothing, and he was about a hunter before his death.

Cannibalism?

Lanya unexpectedly found that her heart was very calm, and she was not moved by the extremely terrifying picture for ordinary people.

Only then did he realize that with his crossing into a demon dog that eats meat and drinks blood, something in the depths of his soul seems to have been changed, and the indifference and bloodthirstiness from the nature of the demon clan have affected him, so that his soul is no longer simply a human being.

This is definitely not an ordinary tiger.

It is nearly a foot tall, its body length is far exceeded, its body is dark with yellow-brown patterns, a royal character on its forehead is majestic, and it is constantly eating in a bloody basin, with the ticking of blood and the fragmented corpse under its claws, it builds a terrifying and chilling picture.

Lanya is not afraid, he just feels a little strange, this tiger is obviously not an ordinary beast, but it doesn't seem to be a demon beast, the size is much larger than Lanya, but the demonic energy is weaker than Lanya, if it weren't for the dog's sense of smell far beyond other demon beasts, it would be difficult to detect.

Half-demon?

No.

Or, spirits?

In this world, the powerful monsters all come from the bloodline inheritance, and the little demons who really live at the bottom of the monster world are not even recognized by the demon clan.

These little demons are spirits, at the bottom of the demon pyramid, with the largest base, but their strength is weak, just like the soldiers who came to patrol the mountains in Journey to the West.

Many creatures that are just ordinary beasts themselves, and by chance, they accidentally eat spiritual things such as Qiling Grass, Emperor Liquid Pulp, and Spirit Dew, or are contaminated with some special substances, and they will become spirits, and their strength is stronger than that of ordinary beasts, but they are not among the demon beasts.

Becoming a spirit has the possibility of becoming a monster, although the probability is not high, it can even be said to be very low, generally speaking, they will die in the long process of evolution, or they will not become a monster until they die of old age.

Mountain spirits and wild monsters, wandering ghosts, and so on, have given birth to a bit of intelligence, but they are not looked down upon by the orthodox demon clan with blood inheritance.

This tiger is probably one such example.

Seeing the fierce tiger at the bottom of the mountain, he swallowed most of the prey in a few bites, and was about to finish eating and leaving, Lanya frowned, and quietly dived into the shadows under the moonlit night.

......

Generally speaking, youkai do not have a special perception of humans, unless they are youkai that feed on humans, otherwise for them, humans are no different from other prey, but their skin and flesh are more tender and their intelligence is higher.

But this tiger is different, it is exceptionally "vicious" and likes to watch its prey panic and scream in despair under its own paws.

When it first gained its intelligence, the black tiger liked to brutally torture its prey and get pleasure from it, but soon it was not satisfied, because it often could only hunt ordinary beasts with limited intelligence and limited expression, and such prey brought it limited pleasure, so it quickly became obsessed with the feeling of hunting another creature.

Mankind!

Humans are different from other prey animals in that they are emotionally complex, weak, and delicate, and tend to exhibit a variety of traits in the most brutal of deaths.

However, humans are not easy to hunt, they are weak but agile, and will use spears, blades, and high walls to protect themselves, often guarded by a presence called a shrine maiden or mage.

Although the black tiger is much more powerful than ordinary tigers, and is not afraid of ordinary swords, guns, swords, and halberds, it can only find some hunters who have strayed into the depths of the bone forest to fight tooth sacrifices, and if it wants to enter human villages and towns to hunt, I am afraid that it will have to become a real monster beast - it has been looking forward to that day.

Swallowing the last part of the last prey, the black tiger stretched his body contentedly, feeling something abnormal.

An imperceptible footstep seemed to be quietly approaching.

Mingyue suddenly poked her head out of the dark clouds at this time, and under the clear moonlight, the black tiger suddenly found that on the ground beside him, there was a black shadow that was quietly approaching silently.
