The twilight was like a rag soaked in ink, wrapping the Dark Forest seamlessly.

The deeper one ventured into the forest, the more twisted and grotesque the trees appeared, their branches drooping limply like arms drained of bones, withered leaves carpeting the ground, and dead vines visible everywhere.

The entire forest was steeped in a suffocating deathly silence, yet hidden everywhere were signs of chaotic birth.

There was no clamor of living creatures here, only the silent spread of the scent of death. Every breath tasted of rusty bitterness, as if the forest itself was slowly and painfully decaying, and everyone trapped within was destined to become a maggot on this giant corpse.

In the shadows, a figure slowly emerged, a flash of white light, and a silhouette suddenly appeared.

Hiss hiss hiss~~

Standing a head taller than an adult, Kazik waved its forelimbs, letting out a disgruntled murmur from its mouth.

"See, you're impatient again. Didn't I let you out this time?"

Qin Tian patted Kazik's cold carapace, stating confidently.

Hiss hiss hiss!!

The vertical pupils of Kazik glowed blue, and it exhaled, looking like an oppressed worker ready to revolt.

Its master kept making grand promises about taking it out for some serious hunting, yet those promises remained unfulfilled, much to the mantis's annoyance.

"Shh, not so loud, don't scare off the prey."

Qin Tian put his index finger to his lips and switched to communicating with Kazik through Spiritual Link.

"Let's have a little contest to see who finds the prey first," Qin Tian suggested.

Upon hearing this, a surge of competitiveness arose in Kazik's mind; it crouched down, and its vertical pupils scanned the surroundings like radar, intently listening to the slightest sound.

In the next moment, a ghostly light flashed across its pupils, and its body vanished instantly.

"Not bad, you're just a tad slower than I am."

Qin Tian smiled faintly, his body seeming to become voidified, disappearing into the air.

Seconds later, he stood atop a near-desiccated tree, looking down.

Below, two gigantic black bears lay snoring, their bodies resembling mounds, and though their snores weren't loud, they were crystal clear in the night.

At that moment, Kazik seemed to step out of the void, appearing beside Qin Tian.

"Kazik, I was faster than you~"

Qin Tian communicated through his thoughts, with a smile on his lips.

After his Night Demon Bloodline advanced to that of the Night Demon King, his stealth abilities in the dark had greatly improved. Even though Kazik, as a Tier Four Spirit Beast, inherited some of his abilities, it was still a step slower.

Kazik lowered its forelimbs, emanating an indignant emotion, wanting a rematch with Qin Tian.

"Fine, let's take these two down first. One each."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kazik disappeared in an instant.

The heavy breathing abruptly stopped in the next moment.

The heads of the two black bears gently detached from their necks, the cuts smooth as glass. They did not feel a moment of pain in their sleep before Kazik ended their lives.

"Aw, cheating again. I said one each."

Qin Tian looked helplessly at Kazik.

Kazik flapped its wings, feelings of mischief and pride emanating from it.

"Round two, begin!"

Qin Tian uttered and disappeared into the darkness.

Kazik gladly accepted the challenge, entering its state of invisibility, vanishing without a trace.

Black bears, giant apes, fierce tigers, Spirit Cats, black wolves...

Qin Tian and Kazik moved like the Death God under the night; their steps were ghostly, and their strikes silent, many Black Beasts lost their lives without ever realizing what befell them.

"I'm at 17, and you're at 15, seems I've won again."

Qin Tian touched Kazik's head, teasingly saying.

Hiss~

Kazik turned its head, avoiding Qin Tian's touch.

"Hey, still angry?"

Qin Tian jokingly said, "If you're not convinced, shall we continue?"

Upon hearing this, a blue light flashed in Kazik's eyes.

"How about we see who handles those two Dark Elves first?"

"Oh, turns out it's a handsome human~"

A languid and sultry voice suddenly rang at his ear, spoken in Elvish, containing an enchanting magic, directly stirring the desires within, causing one's Qi and Blood to surge.

Qin Tian turned to look; in the moonlight, two graceful Dark Elves stood not far away, their skin dark as the deep night, yet their faces were as delicate as normal Elves, with deep purple eyes exuding captivating allure.

"Human boy, you're quite impressive."

The taller Dark Elf on the left beckoned to Qin Tian, her gaze teasing: "I like impressive humans, come here, let's have a wonderful night."

As she spoke, a peculiar wave emanated from the Elf's body, and with every movement, there was a great charm, making it hard to resist sinking into it.

After she finished speaking, a subtle change flickered in Qin Tian's eyes. He jumped off the branch and walked towards the Dark Elf step by step, desire slowly burning in his eyes.

"Yes, that's it, come to me!"

The Dark Elf's voice grew more seductive, like gentle hands constantly plucking at the strings of one's heart, igniting a fire.

Footsteps crunched on the withered leaves, making a crackling sound.

The fire in Qin Tian's eyes grew stronger, his pace quickening, finally breaking into a run towards the Dark Elf.

"Yes, yes, come quickly~"

The Dark Elf's tone became increasingly soft, but then her face suddenly changed, flipping sideways to dodge, with the other Dark Elf quickly moving away as well.

In the instant their feet left the ground, a blade slash came crashing down, missing the Dark Elf by just a step.

Boom!!

Withered leaves danced in the air; the ground was carved with a long scar.

Qin Tian glanced to the side, murmuring to himself:

"Their reaction is swift, but too bad for my Oscar-winning level acting."

Swish swish~~

The Dark Elves stood together, their purple eyes flashing with a trace of anger.

They were actually played by a human

Hiss hiss hiss

Kazik flew to Qin Tian's side, waving its forelimbs, seemingly complaining why Qin Tian didn't directly strike, but instead performed these pointless tricks.

"You don't understand, it's called feigning weakness to the enemy, I almost succeeded."

Qin Tian replied; if he were at full strength, that slash would have cut the Dark Elf in half. Unfortunately, when channeling Spiritual Energy, the Power of Curse caused a slight stagnation in its flow.

This small stagnation made his attack less smooth and forceful, also affecting his speed and explosive power.

Nonetheless, his current strength was significantly stronger than before his injury. For the two Dark Elves to evade his strike meant they were well above Tier Three, with power beyond Tier Four.

"Kazik, take the one on the left, I'll handle the one on the right."

A ghostly light flickered in Qin Tian's eyes, a surging dark aura spreading out, like the descent of the king of the night.
