Chapter 344 – The Higher You Are, The Harder You Fall

In the middle of the night, everyone in Nighttown was fast asleep.

Even Caesar couldn’t fight his sleepiness and gave up on looking for Lin Xiao and went to sleep.

But that was just a facade, no one would have thought that at present, in the depths of the canyon to the west of the town, there was a fight with unprecedented brutality.

The canyon was pitch-black and the moonlight was dim, even with the torch, Lin Xiao could only see a limited area around him.

The night winds sweeping through the depths of the canyon also caused a wailing sound, if it wasn’t for the demon king leading way, Lin Xiao wouldn’t go in any deeper.

According to the information he got during the day, the canyon was filled with demonic beasts and the most difficult area was the middle where the path was most narrow and the sides where precipices so they had to walk through the river valley below.

It seems that high-level demon is hiding nearby and has a large number of powerful demonic beasts as guards since the previous investigators failed around here.

“Lin Xiao, follow me closely.”

Elena who was walking in front warned him.

Even though her face looked serious, but her tail that swayed as she walked and her twitching ears weren’t dignified at all…

Normally, Lin Xiao wouldn’t have been able to hold himself back and stop him from playing with her ears and tail, but he couldn’t get in the mood at all.

Awoooo~!

Without any warning a piercing cry rang through the canyon and on top of a cliff, there was a huge human shaped demonic beasts that leaped up and came towards them.

“Uh… Fourth-level demonic beast, a nocturnal lion monkey”

It wasn’t considered a very strong one among all fourth-level beasts, but it could be considered the most crafty one.

They hid in dense forests or mountain caves during the day and only came out for food at night, specifically targeting lost adventurers.

They took the high points and leapt down under the moonlight using their lion-like fangs to rip their prey apart, that was how they usually hunted.

It wouldn’t be easy against an ambush, even for Caesar.

That wasn’t the most important part, the reason their feared… who said they moved alone

In the instant Lin Xiao saw that large monkey, he already knew they were surrounded!

They never acted alone, if they attack that meant the prey was already surrounded.

Even if their initial attack failed, they would continuously attack and would finally exhaust you.

“Sigh, it’s tragic….”

Don’t misunderstand, Lin Xiao wasn’t sighing for themselves, but for the monkeys…

When he saw those monkeys nimbly approaching and getting larger and larger, he should have instantly instant cast or retreated, but he didn’t.

Rather he even wanted to laugh.

Sigh, these arrogant monkeys probably never even imagined that they who usually did whatever they pleased would be about to kick a steel wall, right…

“Hmph, how foolish!”

In the next instant, Lin Xiao heard a slight snorting and knew that it was the demon king who was making an entrance.

He shut his eyes and couldn’t bear to watch.

Along with that sound, an invisible pressure spread and Lin Xiao just felt a slight heaviness on his chest and was a bit out of breath.

That was probably the her monarch’s aura It had virtually no effect to humans, but to demonic beasts…

Before Lin Xiao could react he suddenly heard a chilling sound.

A dull cracking sound.

Lin Xiao slightly opened one eyes curiously to sneak a glance and was utterly disgusted.

That monkey lost its balance in midair and fell straight down, headfirst.

Its head exploded against the ground and its body was completely distorted and looked like a pile of rotten flesh.

“How pitiful…”

Their attack from high above was supposed to make it more menacing, but it just ended up as them digging their own graves.

But it still wasn’t over yet… don’t forget, those monkeys never acted alone.

And so… plop, plop…

After the first, that unpleasant sound came one after another as the large ugly monkeys fell continuously from the skies.

Even as the piles of bodies built up around her, Elena still continued twitching her furry ears and tail and continued walking forward over their corpses, like all this was natural and that those monkeys didn’t fall because of her power, but they were willingly offering their lives and using their own blood and wails as a blessing.

“Long live the demon king!”

Lin Xiao carefully avoided the dead monkeys while exclaiming in admiration.

Her power was too strong, there were tens of these stupid agile monkeys, it would have been quite annoying even for himself to take care of all of them.

If it was Abra’s team, they might even have injuries.

But for the demon king, if she wanted these stinking monkeys to die, she just had to will it.

“Hurry up!”

She turned around and stared at Lin Xiao who was lagging behind as she picked up her pace and continued walking.

“O-oh…”

After a while, the monkey rain stopped and Lin Xiao quickly caught up to her, afraid of being left behind.

Unfortunately, because it was so dark and because of the ‘monkey rain’ it was really slippery and he fell towards Elena.

“Damn…”

Falling wasn’t a big deal, but he was going to fall right on top of Elena and might even grab onto her soft breasts, or her furry ears and tail… normally, Lin Xiao would love being a lucky pervert and take advantage of her, but now he wouldn’t dare!

The one before him wasn’t a catgirl that could be bullied, but someone who wiped out all the monkeys by herself, she was the demon king!

And who dares take advantage of the demon king

And so, Lin Xiao waved his arms around to regain balance to avoid landing on top of Elena.

“You, weren’t thinking about taking advantage of the situation and trying to hug me, right” Elena turned around and coldly asked.

“Uh… no, no, I just almost fell.”

“That’s good then… be careful, somethings not right.” Elena shook her head and changed the topic.

“Uh, indeed, who just wipes out an entire tribe like that without saying anything.”

“They were asking for it themselves, if they knew any better they would have never ambushed me.”

“Hm… so what are you are saying”

“When I’m a catgirl… uh no, half human, some of my aura leaks so even without my pressure, they shouldn’t have attacked me.”

“But they did attack… was it because of me”

“No, it seems like they were targeting me.”

“Hmph, how dare these stinking apes ambush the demon king, serves them right!” Lin Xiao joked and after getting a glare, “Could it be because you encroached on their territory”

“No, even between demonic beasts they would never attack right away… they attacked me without any warning, it’s strange.”

“Then that means it’s that high-level demon doing something”

“Possibly.”

Although it may seem like they were hunting for food, it could have just been a trap that was set.

They could have been ordered to attack any strangers immediately and just unluckily bumped into Elena.

“It’s strange…”

Elena continued walking while looking down and was lost in thought when she was suddenly hugged!

“Pervert! Let me go!”

Elena blushed and thought that Lin Xiao couldn’t hold back and was trying to take advantage of her, but instead she saw a white magic shield appear in front of her.

Soon after there was a large explosion and the entire shield started shaking intensely.

Elena realized that there was still one even larger monkey that threw a boulder towards them from half a mountain away.

Thanks to Lin Xiao’s quick reaction, she was spared the fate of being flattened into a pancake.

“Tsk, so there was still a monkey king left…”

It was too far away and Lin Xiao could only see a faint silhouette with the limited moonlight.

“He wants to get revenge for his companions but is too scared to get closer, Elena, what should we do”

“Damn, how dare it make a fool of me, unforgivable…”

“Ah What did you say”

“… Die!”

Before Lin Xiao could even tell what happened, Elena widened her blood-red eyes and extended one of her arms.

It was really far away but it looked like Elena grabbed its neck and with one hateful twist!

Splat… just like the sound of the monkeys from earlier, the sound echoed through the valley.

“Sigh, why do you monkeys keep standing so high up Do you not understand that the high you are the harder you fall”

Lin Xiao sighed and observed a moment of silence in tribute to that monkey king.
