Chapter 766 - A Mixed Troll Demon Beast (1/2)

Demon beasts were a rather peculiar breed of creatures. Due to how proliferated the demon race and the beast race were across the many worlds, they could be found almost everywhere.

Many beasts often had traces of demon bloodlines in them and the only thing that mattered was if it was pure enough or not. If it was pure, they would be able to awaken it and become a Demon Beast.

If it was not pure enough and had a lot of bloodlines mixed, it was called impure. Beasts with this were unable to awaken it, but there were still some beasts who, through some stroke of luck or a fortunate encounter, manage to awaken that bloodline.

The Ugly beast in front of Lin Mu could be considered to be one of those lucky beasts. It very clearly had a muddled bloodline, and its effects could be seen on its physique. The most common difference that was there between Demon beasts and normal beasts was the fact that they could actually gain humanoid forms way faster.

Even in the Nascent Soul realm, there were several demon beasts who managed to gain a humanoid form. And the higher their cultivator base went, the closer they could get to a true human form.

Lin Mu looked at the ugly beast who looked like a mix between a goat, an elephant, and heavens know what other demons. It was now rushing towards Lin Mu with certain anger in its eyes.

”Let's get rid of this ugly beast first…” Lin Mu said as he blinked to the back of the beast.

~THUD~

A punch hit the back of the ugly beast, making it flinch in pain.

~GRRR~

~CRACKLE~

Sparks flew as Little Shrubby's claws tore into the sides of the beast. But its thick skin prevented it from getting injured. The rock like skin was almost impenetrable to attacks and only Lin Mu's blunt attacks seem to be working.

”A thick skinned one huh… well I've seen more thick skinned people than this,” Lin Mu said as he blinked to the side of the beast's head and punched again.

~DENG~

Its head was rung like a bell, and it let out a loud cry.

”UGAAAAAA! HURTS!” The Beast said.

Hearing this though, Lin Mu was surprised.

”Huh, it speaks?” Lin Mu said.

”Oh? This is a surprise… impure demon beasts like these are usually mindless and act on instinct. In fact, their intelligence can be even lower than normal beasts as a side effect of a mixed and muddled bloodline.” Xukong replied.

~ROAR~

Little Shrubby took the opportunity while the beast was crying to shoot out a fireball.

~BOOM~

The fireball exploded on the ugly beast's face and some of it even got into its mouth that was open due to it crying out in pain.

”UGAAWWWWWWW!” The beast cried even more and shook his head around.

Lin Mu dodged its blind swings effortlessly and looked at the beast with curiosity.

”Wait a minute though… it's fine that he's speaking… but he's speaking in Dao Script, isn't he?” Lin Mu realized.
