Chapter 2327: Dark Night Fox

Chapter 2327: Chapter 2327: Dark Night Fox

As soon as Liu Ye spoke, Zhou Yu’s mind immediately conjured images of the Dark Night Rainforest’s conditions.

The most notable feature of the Dark Night Rainforest is that it remains shrouded in darkness all year round.

This darkness isn’t due to a lack of light.

It’s because it is teeming with numerous rare dark attribute demon beasts and creatures.

In addition, the unique terrain here and some unknown reasons have caused the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power to undergo peculiar mutations, containing substantial amounts of Dark Primordial Power.

As such, these dark attribute demon beasts and creatures thrive here, and their strength is typically about double that of their peers.

"Here, we must strive to conceal our breath as much as possible."

"Because the demon beasts and creatures here are exceedingly sensitive to any breath that doesn’t belong to the Dark Night Rainforest."

"If we’re not cautious, we could find ourselves in endless trouble."

Liu Ye said, looking at the two.

Zhou Yu and Shi Xuan didn’t speak but immediately concealed their breath.

After preparing, the three swiftly ventured into the Dark Night Rainforest.

Upon entering, the surroundings instantly turned gloomy.

The area was filled with rivers and vegetation everywhere.

The air was exceptionally humid, and deathly silence enveloped the area.

The three had advanced less than an hour.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu paused, stopped in his tracks.

Liu Ye and Shi Xuan, seeing Zhou Yu’s action, immediately halted too.

"What’s wrong?"

"Daoist Zhou!"

Liu Ye asked via Divine Thought Communication.

Zhou Yu didn’t speak but silently hid behind a giant tree.

Moments later, he gestured ahead.

Liu Ye and Shi Xuan immediately focused their eyes forward.

There, in the range of their eyesight, a snake-shaped demon beast over ten zhang long was faintly visible.

At this moment, the snake-shaped demon beast was coiled as if facing a great enemy.

But in front of that snake-shaped demon beast, there seemed to be nothing present.

However, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan quickly did the same as Zhou Yu and hid.

The three silently watched the snake-shaped demon beast.

While assessing what was wrong with this snake-shaped demon beast.

About a quarter-hour passed.

Finally, the snake-shaped demon beast moved.

It suddenly opened its mouth, and a mass of green light burst forth.

The direction this green light shot at was initially void, but then, out of nowhere, a shadow appeared, simultaneously erupting a black light.

Blocking the green light.

Only then did Liu Ye and Shi Xuan see clearly that the shadow was actually a demon beast resembling a fox.

But the fox demon beast was entirely dark, and its eyes sparkled with a peculiar purple-black hue.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan showed shocked expressions.

"This is... the Dark Night Fox!"

"The Dark Night Fox is one of the common dark attribute demon beasts in the Dark Night Rainforest, whose strength generally falls between the Divinity Transformation Realm and the Void Refinement Realm."

Liu Ye immediately transmitted thoughts to Zhou Yu and Shi Xuan.

At this moment, Zhou Yu thoughtfully nodded, remaining silent.

Whereas Shi Xuan was full of shock.

"So this is a dark attribute demon beast?"

"No, it’s too monstrous."

"I didn’t perceive it at all earlier."

Liu Ye said gravely:

"This is the reason why dark attribute demon beasts are so troublesome in a place like the Dark Night Rainforest."

"In such an environment, they are akin to being naturally endowed with a tremendously powerful Concealing Breath Ability, coupled with abundant Dark Primordial Power doubling their strength, thus we must be extremely cautious."

After speaking, Liu Ye turned to Zhou Yu, speaking meaningfully:

"Luckily, Daoist Zhou discovered the Dark Night Fox early."

Liu Ye’s words were clever.

She didn’t say Zhou Yu discovered the snake-shaped demon beast, but rather the Dark Night Fox, as a way to test whether Zhou Yu had already noticed the presence of the Dark Night Fox.

If so, it suggested that Zhou Yu’s perception might be much stronger than theirs.

However, Zhou Yu calmly replied:

"Daoist Liu praises me too highly, I only saw the snake-shaped demon beast."

"I didn’t discover the Dark Night Fox."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye smiled slightly, saying no more.

Now, the snake-shaped demon beast had already started a fight with the Dark Night Fox.

Just seeing the Dark Night Fox making a forward leap, its form instantly transforming into unseen shadow, directly charging at the head of the snake-shaped demon beast.

The snake-shaped demon beast let out a low hum, and its entire body scales began to shine.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared as though wearing a layer of glowing armor.

And at that moment, the Dark Night Fox suddenly reappeared, striking its paw at the snake’s vital point.

But the snake-shaped demon beast responded swiftly, immediately swinging its tail fiercely at the Dark Night Fox.

Bam!

A muffled sound echoed.

Though the Dark Night Fox managed to strike the snake-shaped demon beast’s vital point, those strange scales blocked it.

Meanwhile, the snake-shaped demon beast’s tail strike was incredibly terrifying, especially at the arrowhead tip where space seemed visibly distorted.

The Dark Night Fox was sent flying by the tail strike.

Witnessing this, Liu Ye and Shi Xuan were utterly shocked.

"The snake-shaped demon beast’s attack is formidable."

"The Dark Night Fox has no counterattack at all."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was unconcerned.

His gaze remained fixed on the Dark Night Fox.

After being hit, the Dark Night Fox’s form seemingly dissipated into nothingness.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu’s pupils contracted, followed by a glint of gray light.

With the Eye of Destruction’s enhancement, Zhou Yu finally discerned the Dark Night Fox’s shadow.

It hadn’t vanished; its entire body had transformed into a shadow.

Nearing a state of void.

Thus, even with the snake-shaped demon beast’s powerful tail strike, it hadn’t harmed the Dark Night Fox.

Conversely, the Dark Night Fox swiftly approached the snake-shaped demon beast’s head.

The next instant.

The Dark Night Fox revealed itself, appearing inexplicably behind the snake-shaped demon beast’s head.

Simultaneously, its claws burst forth in purple-black brilliance.

Bam!

Its claw struck the snake-shaped demon beast’s rear head.

In an instant.

The glowing scales on the snake-shaped demon beast’s body shattered.

The snake-shaped demon beast let out a painful screech, then its tail once again swiftly swung at the Dark Night Fox like a blinding flash.

And the Dark Night Fox, once again, became ethereal.

The snake-shaped demon beast’s strike fell into emptiness.

Meanwhile, the Dark Night Fox reappeared ghost-like above the snake-shaped demon beast’s head.

The purple-black claws emerged once more.

Bam!

With one fierce strike, the snake-shaped demon beast’s head was shattered.

Moreover, the Dark Night Fox opened its mouth, forcibly swallowing the inner core from the snake-shaped demon beast’s shattered head.

The snake-shaped demon beast let out an unwilling low hum, then fell to the ground.

The Dark Night Fox vanished in a flash.

Thus, the battle concluded.

But the three hiding afar wore exceptionally grave expressions.

Especially Liu Ye and Shi Xuan, their eyes even reflecting some fear.

"So this is a dark attribute demon beast?"

"Its power is unbelievably terrifying."

Shi Xuan said bitterly.
