"There's killing intent!!!"

This vague and elusive feeling suddenly emerged in Lin Yi's heart without any warning.

This is a sensation akin to a thorn in the back that Lin Yi has never experienced while on the Rafam Continent.

Before coming here, Aifula had mentioned.

This Demon Forest is home to countless powerful demons.

While people hunt demons to obtain Demon Crystals for huge profits;

those demons also feed on humans.

Lin Yi quickly realized that clearly he was being targeted by some demon.

As his first battle upon arriving at the Nine Nether Continent, Lin Yi had to muster all his spirit and be on high alert.

Lin Yi looked around with a solemn expression.

But besides the towering ancient trees and thorny jungles, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"Could it be an illusion?"

However, Lin Yi quickly dismissed this thought.

Just because the sudden sense of crisis in Lin Yi's heart didn't ease due to the visible safety, but instead grew stronger.

Lin Yi tightened his grip on the Dragon Scale Sword, watching everything around him intently.

Suddenly, a strong signal flashed in Lin Yi's mind:

Above!

When Lin Yi abruptly raised his head, he saw a bloodthirsty mouth charging toward him:

"Roar~"

Facing the fierce attack from this demon, at the critical moment, Lin Yi vanished from his original spot:

"Instant Teleportation"

Just as Lin Yi appeared two meters away, a loud crash echoed from behind:

"Howl~ Bang!"

Only then did Lin Yi see clearly what was attacking him.

He saw that the spot where he had just stood had been replaced by a gray-faced, tusked fierce beast:

Red-eyed Demon Wolf Lv32

Life Value: 200000/200000

Lin Yi was surprised to see the information displayed above this demon's head, realizing that even here he could clearly see the opponent's level and life value.

Though a bit astonished, Lin Yi's face was still filled with joy:

"Well, this is good."

With this system aid, at least it allows him to clearly discern the strength of his opponents in this unfamiliar place.

Initially, Lin Yi thought he had encountered some mighty creature, but unexpectedly the opponent was only level 32.

Seeing the opponent baring its teeth, displaying a bloodthirsty expression.

Lin Yi suddenly grinned:

"Alright then."

"My adventure in the Nine Nether Continent will start with you."

After saying that, Lin Yi took the lead in swinging his Dragon Scale Longsword, launching an active attack on the opponent:

"Instant Teleportation"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi had appeared in front of the Red-eyed Demon Wolf again, thrusting his longsword.

His Dragon Scale Longsword was aimed directly at the opponent's head.

Before this Demon Wolf could react, the sharp Dragon Scale Longsword pierced its forehead effortlessly, like slicing through tofu:

"Pssh~"

"-200000" Critical strike

When Lin Yi's sword pierced through its skull.

The expression of the Red-eyed Demon Wolf remained frozen in the ferocious manner it had facing its prey.

Probably it never imagined, even until death, that the prey it deemed attainable was actually so fearsome.

However, it couldn't be blamed.

Generally speaking.

On the Nine Nether Continent, whether a Mage practicing magic or a Warrior practicing Fighting Qi.

Demons can judge the strength based on the Magic Power (Fighting Qi) emanating from people.

Yet this Red-eyed Demon Wolf hadn't sensed any elemental fluctuation from Lin Yi, thus mistakenly thinking Lin Yi was just an ordinary person accidentally entering the forest.

That's why this scene unfolded.

Unfortunately, by the time it realized Lin Yi's terror, its life force was rapidly depleting.

Lin Yi stood before the Red Flame Demon Wolf:

"Pssh" sounded as he pulled out the longsword.

The demon that was ferocious just a moment ago now lay lifeless in the shrubs.

After finishing all this, Lin Yi sheathed his sword casually.

A level 30 demon was as easy to eliminate for Lin Yi as stomping on a cockroach.

After Lin Yi inlaid the Brilliant Gem into the Red Sky Divine Pearl, his magic damage was now approaching the 300,000 mark.

In close combat mode, his physical attack soared to an impressive 400,000.

This demon with merely 200,000 life value stood no chance but to be instantly killed.

Then suddenly, Lin Yi heard the system's cold voice:

"You gained Experience: 1220"

"You acquired New Equipment: [Demon Wolf Bracelet Lv30 Rare]"

"You acquired New Materials: Wolf Fang ×2"

"You acquired Material: Complete Red-eyed Demon Wolf Skin ×1"

Lin Yi opened his backpack with amazement, indeed finding those items as indicated by the system:

"Wow~"

"You can actually level up here too!"

This turn of events was completely unexpected for Lin Yi.

He initially thought that performing the task might fall behind his leveling progress.

But the surprise came so suddenly.

Who would've thought that slaying demons not only grants experience but also drops equipment and materials.

If that's the case.

Could it be that the Nine Nether Continent is essentially no different from the Rafam Continent...

Seeing that his experience bar was only 30% away from reaching level 70, Lin Yi couldn't help but think:

'Perhaps I could level up here while I'm at it.'

Finally, Lin Yi examined the newly acquired equipment:

[Demon Wolf Bracelet]

Wrist Guard

Level: Rare

Durability: 78/100

Physical Attack: 378-682

Magic Attack: 354-589

Physical Defense: 230

Magic Defense: 180

Constitution +10

Usage Level: Lv30

Additional Attributes: When attacking a target, there is a 3% chance to inflict a bleeding effect dealing 20% of maximum physical attack to the target.

Introduction: "Equipment made from the hide of the 'Red-eyed Demon Wolf' back, with considerable value."

Lin Yi examined the attributes and everything, which didn't differ pretty much from equipment of the same level on the Rafam Continent, so nothing particularly special.

After basically understanding the changes happening to himself, the fear of this unfamiliar continent lessened significantly in Lin Yi's heart.

The biggest problem facing Lin Yi now was determining his current location, then heading to his task site: Jialan Imperial Capital.

Aifula had once said:

The Demon Forest is divided into three major areas: the outer perimeter, the inner perimeter, and the core.

The outer perimeter is relatively safer, hosting mostly demons below the Third Transformation.

Demons of Fourth Transformation or above rarely appear in the forest's periphery.

Therefore, Lin Yi speculated that his current location was likely on the forest's outer perimeter.

Looking at the virtually identical scenery around, Lin Yi suddenly felt troubled, uncertain of the correct direction to exit the forest.

However, at that moment, the initially calm forest was abruptly shattered by urgent calls for help:

"Help!"

"Is anyone nearby, please save us."
