Monster Paradise Chapter 1551 – Triple Happiness!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For every ordinary fourth-rank Heavenly God that he killed, Lin Huang could obtain twenty thousand to twenty-five thousand types of Rule Bending Powers.

However, he obtained eighty thousand to one hundred thousand types of Rule Bending Powers just from killing one fourth-rank Night Demon Fir. It was almost four times more than what he could get from Heavenly Gods of the same combat strength.

The Night Demon Firs with higher combat strength would have even more Rule Bending Powers within their bodies.

As far as Lin Huang was concerned, killing these monsters was undoubtedly the best way to obtain EXP.

As he led the team forward, apart from letting Tu Tong and Lan Ling practice on the beginner-level monsters, he would kill the rest right away. He did not give Virtuoso and Saber9 any combat opportunities at all.

Virtuoso and Saber9 did not say anything either. They had already begun to realize that Lin Huang seemed to be extra enthusiastic about killing specific monsters.

This was because he clearly did not bother to battle certain monsters, but others he would rush in to kill.

However, the two of them could not figure out what aroused Lin Huang’s interest for killing these monsters. To them, the several types of monsters he was enthusiastic about killing did not seem to have anything in common.

The team continued moving ahead in the Demonic Fir Forest.

Very soon, Lin Huang had obtained over a million Rule Bending Powers easily. It was certainly more than several times faster than killing regular monsters.

Suddenly, Lan Ling issued a reminder, “There’ll be Dead Spirit Vines ahead.”

The Dead Spirit Vine was a parasitic vine monster that lived on the Demonic Firs. While simultaneously obtaining nutrients from the Demonic Firs, they would repay this by using their strength to help the Demonic Firs hunt. Their attacks were not physical like the Demonic Firs but directly targeted the spiritual-layer.

Once the Dead Spirit Vines had extracted more nutrients than the Demonic Firs could give out, the Dead Spirit Vines would usually choose to leave their host Demonic Firs and look for a more powerful Demonic Fir to live on as a parasite. This was to prevent the Demonic Firs from being harmed. Meanwhile, powerful Dead Spirit Vines that could not be satisfied by the nutrients provided by one Demonic Fir would live on multiple Demonic Firs at the same time to divide up the burden. However, such powerful Dead Spirit Vines usually possessed terrifying ability, which could support the hunting proclivities of multiple Demonic Firs.

The symbiotic relationship between the Dead Spirit Vines and Demonic Firs was a mutually beneficial virtuous cycle.

For the Night Demon Firs, the benefits they received from the Dead Spirit Vines was even greater. This was because the Dead Spirit Vines would take the initiative to hunt and kill any creatures that invaded their territory when the Night Demon Firs were asleep during the day.

Everyone in the team plucked up their courage when they heard Lan Ling’s reminder, and were even more on their guard.

The Dead Spirit Vines’ combat abilities were more powerful than Night Demon Firs of the same combat strength. Not only that, they had many techniques. Their overall ability would elevate significantly when they combined forces with the Demonic Firs to fight.

However, when Lin Huang heard Lan Ling’s reminder, the first thought that flashed through his head was, ‘Since they’re the Night Demon Firs’ parasites, wouldn’t they have similar amounts of Rule Bending Powers and sequence powers as the Night Demon Firs?!’

His eyes lit up again when he considered this.

If that were really the case, it would mean that he would gain double EXP—double the happiness!

Naturally, Virtuoso and the rest had no idea about these strange thoughts in his head.

Lin Huang led the team forward, seemingly cautious. Not far into the journey, they encountered a new round of stealth attacks.

This round was different from the previous battle, as this time the Night Demon Firs and Dead Spirit Vines attacked simultaneously.

Vine silhouettes and branches extended, filling the air. The intensity of the attack was more than several times stronger than before; furthermore, this time the attacks targeted all the members of the team.

The members of the team were armed and ready for battle; even Saber9 looked much more serious now.

As for Virtuoso, although their expression was not visible under the mask, the rest could clearly see that they were no longer as relaxed as before.

Due to the intersecting attacks of vine silhouettes and tree branches, it was very hard to differentiate which were spiritual attacks from the Dead Spirit Vines, and which were the Night Demon Firs’ physical attacks.

Lin Huang was the only one who felt unusually excited.

Seeing the attacks coming toward them, dense as rain, he stabbed a finger into the air, raising Mirror to shield everyone in the team.

This time, he raised Mirror without any trouble at all, as if he were worried that his comrades could not handle the monsters. However, Lin Huang was the only one who knew that the actual motivation behind this was so he could kill the monsters himself and obtain all the benefits.

Mirror steadily suspended itself in the air, over everyone’s heads. Virtuoso and the rest were initially worried that it might not be able to provide any defense against spiritual attacks. However, they soon realized that Lin Huang’s Mirror was much more powerful than they had ever imagined. Very quickly, they felt at ease and settled down to watch the scenario play out.

In the void, branches and vines surged toward the group like a furious storm. The moment they touched Mirror, however, they bounced back at an even faster speed.

On the heels of that, blood-curdling screams could be heard in the fog.

A moment later, the attacks that had blotted out the sky were completely gone, and the fog had also become silent.

Lin Huang had dominated the entire place with just one finger.

Tu Tong and Lan Ling were so utterly stunned, they could not snap back to their senses even a moment later.

Virtuoso and Sword9 looked at each other and saw astonishment in each other’s eyes that was hard to conceal. This defense technique was practically invincible!

Lin Huang, on the other hand, stood where he was, sensing the massive number of rules that were surging into his body.

Just simply pointing a finger had gained him up to one million EXP’s worth of rules.

He sensed that his earlier speculation had been confirmed as well.

Each Dead Spirit Vine had a similar number of rules to the Night Demon Firs that they latched onto as parasites.

The rewards he reaped this round really made him feel twice as happy!

After dispelling Mirror, Lin Huang extended his telekinetic threads one after the other to drag the carcasses back.

He was also finally able to see the Dead Spirit Vines’ form.

It was a type of black rattan, the thickness of which varied from that of an adult’s thigh to the size of a bucket. They were like massive boa constrictors.

What was more unusual was that all these rattans did not look entirely alike. Apart from a black-colored base, they were all different.

Some had sprouted thorns on their surfaces; some were full of fleshy tumors; some had scales, while some were covered with poisonous secretions…

Although the Dead Spirit Vines would divide into multiple branches when they attacked, one could imagine the consequences if one’s soul were struck by those rattans.

Lan Ling and Tu Tong thought it was rather frightening as they watched from the sidelines.

“Store them up. Dead Spirit Vines are great materials for refining spirit weapons even in the universe,” Virtuoso commented with a smile, “You should be able to sell them at a good price when we get out of here.”

Lin Huang’s brows shot up when he heard that. He had not expected to have an extra windfall like this.

Spirit-type god relics were usually expensive as the refinement materials were rare, what more the god sequence relics that Heavenly Gods used.

Naturally, the price for Dead Spirit Vines would be high as they were the main materials for refining god sequence relics. The demand would be high as well.

Lin Huang was even more interested in hunting Dead Spirit Vines now that Virtuoso had provided this information.

This was not merely double happiness—it was triple happiness!
