"Are you refining a Perception Series Demon Spirit?"

Lin Feng speculated, glancing at Wen.

This Wen was not tall, about 1.65 meters, seemingly a bit thin, but his eyes were lively. He wielded a dagger and carried a short knife on his back, clad in a set of green lightweight armor, his steps as light and silent as a cat's.

At a distance of thirty meters, their view was obstructed by the dense jungle, yet Wen could discern the type of beasts and roughly how many there were just by smell. This sense of smell far exceeded human limits, likely due to borrowed abilities from a Demon Spirit.

As for why Wen hadn't undergone Demon Transformation, Lin Feng wasn't surprised.

A Demon Spirit Master can have innate abilities of a Demon Spirit, which can be fully utilized in the state of Demon Transformation. Without Demon Transformation, the innate abilities can only be at best utilized to a tenth of their potential.

If Wen was in a state of Demon Possession and underwent Demon Transformation, his sense of smell should work at a distance of three hundred meters, and his perception ability would certainly be stronger. However, Demon Transformation would consume a large amount of Soul Power, which is critical for a Demon Spirit Master.

Since they hadn't truly entered the core area of Senhai, he was conserving his best condition, hence no Demon Transformation.

"Regroup, fall back."

Seeing the Thief's actions and signals, Xie Bing began to command their retreat, and the group quickly drew together and began to fall back.

When unable to predict the prey, falling back was the best choice.

Roar!

A loud boar's cry echoed, and although the squad noticed it in time, the herd of 11 wild boars still discovered the humans before them.

These were all adult giant wild boars, containing robust Power within their sturdy bodies. A series of half-foot-long, steel needle-like bristles grew along their backs. Most terrifying was the half-meter long, sharp, spiral horn atop their skulls, reflecting a cold light under the sun.

"It's the Unicorn Boar, nothing dangerous, everyone spread out and hunt!" Xie Bing shouted, giving the order.

Unicorn Boars, a common Level 1 Demon Beast around the mountain periphery, known for massive strength and attacks mainly relying on their half-meter-long horn.

Though the team didn't speak, they all skillfully diverted a boar each, with Lin Feng also attracting one.

The group had no intention of helping: if they couldn't even kill a Unicorn Boar, they might as well leave the team to avoid risking their lives and dragging others down.

Watching the charging unicorn demon beast with a calm gaze, the fierce aura and air wave made Lin Feng squint slightly, then, setting his right foot on the ground, he spun lightly and swiftly dodged.

"Bang!"

In the instant of dodging, the dull sound of impact resounded as Lin Feng punched the unicorn boar on its head, his immense Power causing it to stagger. At this moment, a silver dagger somehow appeared in Lin Feng's right hand, stabbing forward with a sound of air being pierced.

The dagger strike came so suddenly, so quickly.

Even the cautious unicorn boar hadn't reacted to this instant change, its bloodshot eyes suddenly bulged, its short yet extremely strong hind legs instinctively bent, trying to escape.

Its instinctive reaction was incredibly fast; needing less than a second to rely on its strong hind legs to escape.

However, not only did the arm grasp this fleeting second precisely, but as the boar's hind hoof just slightly bent, the dagger tilted slightly, reflected sunlight making the boar close its eyes abruptly, its figure pausing and completely losing hope of escape.

"Slash!"

Blood splattered, the unicorn boar didn't even have time to reopen its eyes to take one last look at the deep blue sky before it plummeted to the ground with a thud.

A bone-deep wound on its throat kept spewing out warm blood, and within moments, its struggling limbs trembled a few more times before ceasing to move.

At the moment the unicorn boar fell, a white arm swung in an arc, and the dagger vanished without a trace.

Lin Feng's display unsurprisingly caught the eyes of the surrounding people, particularly his splendid dagger skill, which came off a bit as showing off.

The unicorn boar was just a Level 1 Demon Beast; though not strong, they couldn't finish it off so easily.

"Truly impressive, so neat and clean!"

"No wonder he dares to come to the Otherworld alone, he's faster than the captain!"

"He's an archer, yet why do I feel he resembles an Assassin?"

"Tsk tsk, I initially thought he was a rookie, didn't expect he's experienced!"

Lin Feng ignored the discussions around him.

Shortly after the unicorn boar's death, a fist-sized gray-brown light mass emerged from the boar's head area, resembling a mini version of the unicorn boar. The light mass instinctively tried to flee but was caught by Lin Feng.

Soon, the herd of unicorn boars was slaughtered by everyone. The team was relaxed, with only one person sustaining a slight injury.

Before the blood scent spread, team members adeptly approached, knife in hand, and began swift dissection.

Like humans, demon beasts evolve by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Naturally, the most valuable assets in demon beasts are their Demon Spirits and Demon Cores. However, only Fifth Grade and higher demon beasts have Demon Cores. They contain the essence of the demon beast, and for Martial Artists, consuming them not only tempers the body but also increases internal Spiritual Qi.

The unicorn boar being just a Level 1 demon beast, its most valuable parts besides the demon beast blood and flesh were the half-meter-long horn, exceptionally hard and sharp, valued around three thousand New Coins each.

"Feng Lin, the unicorn boar you hunted is yours." Xie Bing remarked as he approached Lin Feng.

In the Otherworld, loot gained by temporary adventure squads is distributed immediately according to pre-set rules.

Due to being temporary, trust isn't established yet, and since in Senhai the danger is ever-present and unpredictable, failing to distribute immediately might result in getting lost from the team and end up with nothing.

The unicorn boar herd had 11 unicorn boars, thus 11 horns. Though Lin Feng finished the fight first, not wanting to compete, he killed just one and acquired one horn.

"Three thousand New Coins just like that." Tying the horn to the pack, Lin Feng sighed inwardly.

Three thousand New Coins was equivalent to his mother's monthly salary, earned so effortlessly. No wonder Martial Artists flock to the Otherworld despite its dangers.

This doesn't even count the Demon Spirit, of course, Lin Feng understood that the dangers of the Otherworld had just begun. Visible dangers aren't truly frightening; the scary ones are those hidden eyes lurking in darkness.

After collecting the horns, despite the abundant Qi and Blood in boar meat, the weight was just too large. Though regrettable, they couldn't take everything.

With everything tidied up, the squad set off anew.
