CHAPTER 681: CHAPTER 7 THE LURKING DEMON

Ireya was also very concerned about the chaos that erupted in Duolin City since the Blood Moon Association’s aggression and exclusivity were unmatched among all sects.

Hirodod was adept at attacking hostile targets through poisoning and assassination, and under his leadership, the Blood Moon Association had grown increasingly accustomed to using violence as a solution.

Perhaps the only piece of good news was that, thanks to the combined suppression by the nobles of the western territories, the Blood Moon Association currently did not have many members.

Although there was no exact number, the general estimate was that the core membership of the Blood Moon Association did not exceed a hundred people.

But there was a very critical aspect of the Blood Moon Association, it had split off from the Silver Moon Church, which was the largest sect in the western territories.

In other words, with the right manipulation, Hirodod had the potential to absorb the legacy of the Silver Moon Church directly after the latter’s downfall.

By then, the Blood Moon Association would be able to quickly grow and become a terrorizing monster in its own right.

Therefore, after receiving a request for help from the Silver Moon Church, Miss Rabbit did not hesitate much and was prepared to lend assistance.

But then, she received a letter from Quintus the High Priest, who expressed his gratitude to the lady but mentioned that the issue was already resolved.

The Figrola family was already gathering forces and they expected to reclaim Duolin City soon.

Miss Rabbit didn’t mind, if someone else was willing to handle the situation, there was no need for her to worry anymore. Being present just for show wasn’t out of the question either.

However, she didn’t receive a call to arms for quite some time afterwards, and it seemed like Gwen had completely forgotten about the heroine who had saved the west numerous times.

The lady had her armor polished and had formed a good relationship with the Sun King, only to end up taking a couple of laps around the hillside outside the town on his back before heading home.

Fortunately, Li Yu finally returned after taking the weekend off.

Over the past two days, Li Yu mainly researched his new transformative power, discovering that either enlarging or shrinking increased the consumption of his physical energy.

On the contrary, animals with sizes closer to that of humans consumed the least amount of energy.

Li Yu tried transforming into a red kangaroo, and at one o’clock in the morning, he was hopping around in the residential area’s green space, where he happened to encounter a late-night worker returning home from a social function.

The worker was stunned upon seeing the kangaroo.

He even took off his glasses, wiped them with his thermal undershirt, put them back on, and when he looked up again, the kangaroo that was in the bushes had disappeared.

Only then did the worker breathe a sigh of relief, thinking he must have drunk too much that night.

But as he staggered forward a few steps, he saw the kangaroo again, standing at the entrance of an apartment building across the street.

And what was even more bizarre came afterward: the worker saw the kangaroo pull out an access card from its pouch, swipe it to unlock the building’s door, and then hop straight in.

The worker felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head.

This kangaroo!!! Could it have become a demon?!

A demon hiding among humans!!! And it was in the very residential area where he lived!!!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the worker quickly pulled out his phone and dialed 110.

"Hello, is this the police? I need to report... I’ve discovered a lurking demon. Its appearance is that of a kangaroo, yes, yes, yes... and it can even use an access card to open doors, very suspicious!"

"What, you’re asking me if I’ve had a drink... I did have a little last night, but not much... Hurry up and get over here, I’m keeping an eye on it for you guys, won’t let it escape."

After hanging up the phone, the office worker looked around, hid behind a row of greenery in the neighborhood, and still kept his eyes wide open, staring intently at the gate of the opposite complex.

As a result, he waited until dawn, but neither the police nor the kangaroo showed up.

Because of that night’s episode, Li Yu also realized that it wasn’t great to keep changing shapes in the neighborhood.

Wang Guowei even went out of his way to buy catnip and canned cat food, then came back and asked Li Yu where the Persian Cat was.

So, on Saturday and Sunday, Li Yu left the city with a bag of Snickers and compressed biscuits, an animal encyclopedia, and found a deserted mountain to practice his Transformation Technique.

Right now, the largest animal form he could take was a brown bear, and although it was only for three minutes, its combat strength was pretty impressive—one slap, and even Hercules couldn’t withstand it.

Li Yu now had a means to defend himself and no longer had to swing his fists wildly and fight to the last drop of blood like before.

As for smaller creatures, Li Yu could now turn into a swallow. He had to admit that flying was a pretty nice ability. Drones could also take to the skies, but it was a completely different feeling from flying himself.

However, Li Yu could only maintain the swallow form for a little over three minutes at the moment. Commuting by it was out of the question, but using it occasionally in an emergency was still no problem.

If he encountered someone attempting to kidnap him again, at least he wouldn’t end up in a sack.

All in all, the more than two thousand points of faith were well spent, and Li Yu discovered that divinities could interact with each other.

For example, the night he became a kangaroo, he tried jumping in the housing complex’s pool, and his ability to walk on water was still effective.

So, he wasn’t just a kangaroo; he was an amphibious kangaroo.

In the future, if he had more divinities in the sequence, he should be able to develop quite a few new combinations.

Li Yu spent two days in the wild, got the hang of some basic uses of the Transformation Technique, and also learned a bit about animal knowledge, feeling that time flew by quite quickly.

However, upon his return to the Bratis Continent, he found out that a major update had already happened.

After listening to Miss Rabbit detail the significant events on the Continent during this period, Li Yu said,

"There’s no need to worry too much about the Blood Moon Association... because it’s an organization completely controlled by Hirodod, just like Hirodod’s hands and feet. As soon as Hirodod is gone, the Blood Moon Association will also cease to exist.

"If Hirodod continues to hide in the shadows, the Blood Moon Association could indeed pose a problem, but now that he’s made an appearance, the Blood Moon Association isn’t that frightening anymore."

If Gwen could hear what Li Yu just said, although they wouldn’t express it outwardly, they probably would feel that great minds think alike. Even though the source of Li Yu’s confidence was different from theirs, and Li Yu didn’t understand where Gwen’s disdain for the Blood Moon Association came from.

The Lady still seemed somewhat worried, "But Hirodod and the Blood Moon Association have already occupied Duolin City, and after Hirodod appeared, he clearly plans to use his personal charm to expand the Blood Moon Association on a large scale, moving from the shadows into the light.

"If he succeeds, won’t the Blood Moon Association definitely become a big problem?"

Li Yu said, "No worries, I’ll take care of the Blood Moon Association. I have several scores to settle with Hirodod anyway."

Hearing Li Yu say this, Miss Rabbit instantly felt at ease.

It couldn’t be helped. Having the spokesman of the mortal world there on a Saturday, just added that feeling of safety.

The Lady then asked, "What about those from the Wing Tribe and those three dragons, Merlin, do you have a plan?"
