Chapter 1310 Hunting Alone

Cloud was excited. This was even more thrilling than my undercover missions! I felt something different! The stakes were high when I carried out a mission in the mortal world! But if I lost here, the worst that could happen was losing a leg.

Cloud confidently said, "Trust me, believe I can defeat it!"

Then, Cloud pulled out a short blade and quickly engaged in combat.

"Hey, don't run away!" Cloud yelled.

The demonic beast felt that something was amiss when he saw Lilly and Crawford Ancestor and was about to leave. However, Cloud shed up.

Watching Cloud engage the demonic beast in battle, Lilly hesitated and said, "Crawford Ancestor, should we just let it go? Uncle Cloud seems to be enjoying himself here."

Crawford Ancestor replied, "No, this is just the beginning. These are the simplest challenges. Challenges? Never mind, forget about it; I will protect him... Or else, what can I do?

But deep down, Crawford Ancestor had softened. After all, Cloud is a descendant of the Crawford family. It is my duty to protect him!

Unaware of Crawford Ancestor change of mind, Lilly suggested, "How about we let Uncle Cloud go through this experience on his own?" Of course, we would not truly leave him alone. He might face danger! We will hide in the shadows to ensure his safety."

Crawford Ancestor nodded and said. "That's the plan. We must let Cloud face his trials alone. Perhaps he had been too bold and confident with us around. Facing challenges and growing on his own is different.

Crawford Ancestor still secretly hoped that Cloud would reincarnate someday. Cloud had lived a solitary life. He should have a prosperous life in the future!

As Cloud fought fiercely with the demonic beast, his full attention was on it. He did not notice that Lilly and Crawford were gone. Though he spoke lightly earlier, he remained extremely vigilant. Cloud knew he could not always rely on Crawford, Ancestor, and Lilly. Eventually, I had to deal with everything alone. So, I hoped to adapt quickly to life in the underworld and the trials of cultivation.

The demonic beast had initially been wary of Lilly and Crawford Ancestor, but it hesitated when it realized that these two terrifying figures had left. What did this mean? Had they truly gone?

The demonic beast sniffed the air but detected no trace of their presence. So, this newbie was not allied with them? In that case, I had nothing to worry about!

The demonic beast stared at Cloud and seemed excited. He is a new novice ghost with an exceptionally strong power different from ordinary ghosts! He is a valuable resource! Without hesitation, the demonic beast lunged at Cloud.

Cloud had already prepared to dodge when he saw the demonic beast's eyes turn blood-red. The next moment, it pounced as expected.

Cloud rolled to the side just in time to evade the demonic beast's attack, but his clothes were torn open.

1/2

Cloud got back on his feet immediately and continued to evade as he moved to the other side. The demonic beast followed him, and its sharp claws grazed Cloud's neck. At that moment, Cloud felt his neck. bleeding.

He reached up and realized that his neck had been cut halfway. If I were still human, he would have been dead by now. The demonic beast is much more formidable than I had thought! Crawford Ancestor had even mentioned that it was the weakest demonic beast living on the outskirts of Mount Everest. But this demonic beast almost killed me!

Cloud was drenched in sweat and had time to dwell on it. The demonic beast had guessed his movement and was about to lunge at him. Lilly and Crawford Ancestor were about to help Cloud when they saw what had happened.

Just as the demonic beastas about to pounce again, a deep gunshot rang out, and the demonic beast. collapsed with a loud thud. Cloud continued to pant heavily. At that critical moment, the demonic beast had nearly bitten off my head! It was so close!

Cloud was trembling as he retrieved his bullet. I only had seven bullets, and I had to make sure to recover each one after firing it. In the underworld, bullets didn't go to waste. So, I could use them again as long as I picked them up.

As Cloud loaded his bullets, a dark shadow suddenly fell over him. Cloud looked up and found out that it was a man in green robes with a gaunt face. He was quite emaciated as well. He glanced at Cloud and then at the demonic beast lying at his feet.

Then, the man exclaimed excitedly, "What a hiker beast! I've been stuck at the Ghost lord' early stage for twenty years... This hiker beast might help me!" I am so lucky to replace such a demonic beast when I am injured!

Cloud frowned and said, "I took down that beast,"

The man paused, then laughed dismissively. Then he said, "Alright, I know you did it. You're lucky to have the chance to impress me. Others don't even get a chance to flatter me." A small, awakened novice ghost like him dared to talk this way? I had already reached the Ghost Lord's realm! How could he disrespect me? No other ghosts would dare disrespect me! Who did he think he was?

"Hey, what weapon did you just use? Show it to me. The man demanded and snatched Cloud's gun without warning.

Cloud was completely taken off guard. This ghost lord's techniques were truly enigmatic. At that moment, I keenly felt the gap between myself and the Ghost lord.

Cloud was infuriated but said coldly, "Give it back to me."

However, the man stuffed the gun into his own bag of holding and sneered. Give it back? Dream on. As a ghost lord, everything was mine when I took it! Lhad never returned anything I had taken! If he had the guts, he could ask the Hell Rulers to make him give it back!
