Chapter 128: Bear Demon, the Second Inspiration Pill

“There’s a bear demon living in a cave ahead?”
After two hours, Zhou Chen obtained joyous news when he asked a little bird which was sitting on a tree branch.
“Take me to that cave.”
Zhou Chen let this little bird that provided information guide him to the location.
The little bird seemed to be a little afraid when it heard his command, but at his strong request, it flew away from the tree branch and began to lead the way.
About twenty minutes later, the bird brought him across a large area of the mountain and arrived outside a dark cave.
“I’ve already sensed it. You can leave or wait to eat bear meat.”
Once he arrived near the cave, Zhou Chen locked onto a powerful creature more than 200 meters deep with the Bloodthirst passive skill. There was no need for the bird to continue leading the way.
He hid the eagle demon’s head and quietly entered the dark cave, enduring the pungent smell of blood and an indescribable stench.
When he had just walked a short distance, he started hearing some deep snoring.
When he was only about fifty meters away from the powerful creature, he could see its back through the Dark Vision.
With his Dark Vision, he saw that the creature sleeping on the ground was indeed a huge bear covered in thick fur.
‘Is this thing a demon? It can’t be a large black bear, right…’
Zhou Chen could not tell what human characteristics it had, but he was also not sure that it was just a wild beast.
“Forget it, let’s kill it first.”
The doubt in his heart flashed past, and Zhou Chen decisively made a move.
He took a step forward, and his figure suddenly crossed dozens of meters, closing in on the back of the bear like a cannonball. Then, he punched with his right fist, stirring a large circle of red waves on the fur on the back of the huge beast, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.
After punching, Zhou Chen quickly retreated with the Windrun skill because not only was the huge beast he had attacked not killed, but it had also reflexively turned around and swung its arm.
“Little Bear, come and hit me.”
Zhou Chen looked at the injured behemoth and provoked it.
“This guy’s face looks like a human, it really seems to be a demon.”
Zhou Chen finally saw the human characteristic of this huge beast, but it was not obvious because its head was too big and covered in thick fur.
“Damned… humans…”
While Zhou Chen was provoking it, the bear demon that had just flipped over and waved also stood up and stared at him. Its protruding mouth let out a few low sounds, and its tone was clearly filled with anger.
“Good. Not only is this demon not weaker than that tiger demon, but it also has some language ability. Killing it will definitely give me an Inspiration Pill!”
Seeing that the bear demon did not seem to be seriously injured after being attacked, not only was Zhou Chen not afraid, but he was also filled with excitement. This was because he had finally found a powerful demon.
Boom! Boom!
In the depths of the cave that was not very spacious, the roars of huge beasts and the sounds of collisions constantly sounded.
Zhou Chen’s figure kept moving around the bear demon like a phantom. From time to time, he would give it a ruthless punch, making it roar in pain.
Of course, due to the limitations of space and the huge bear demon’s body, Zhou Chen was sometimes unable to completely dodge its attack. He would be sent flying by its huge claws and crash into the surrounding stone wall.
However, this collision could not cause any substantial damage to Zhou Chen. After killing the Green Faced Demon and obtaining the stronger Copper Skin Iron Bones passive skill, Zhou Chen’s body had become stronger than real steel.
On the contrary, as long as the bear demon hit him, it would trigger the Rebound passive skill and suffer a mid bronze-ranked internal injury.
After just a few simple exchanges, Zhou Chen knew that his victory was confirmed. He stabilized his breathing and attacked the bear demon while paying attention to not letting it escape and gradually wearing it down.
After about ten minutes, the bear demon lost its fighting spirit. It began to flee towards the cave entrance, wanting to escape.
Zhou Chen blocked it a few times but found it exhausting, so he simply began to chase after it and attack it with all his might.
After more than a minute, this thick-skinned bear demon was finally killed.
[You have killed the bear demon. Reward: Low-grade Inspiration Pill.]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have stolen the bear demon’s passive skill, ‘Physique Enhancement II’. Detected that it is superior to the passive skill you already have. It will automatically be replaced.]
“I’ve finally succeeded…”
Zhou Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the system announce that he had obtained the Inspiration Pill. If he still did not gain anything this time, it would be a huge blow to his mental state.
“Looks like only the stronger demons can drop Inspiration Pills, better if they can speak human language.”
After successfully obtaining the Inspiration Pill for the second time, Zhou Chen had a clearer understanding of the conditions for its drop.
He opened his character interface and found that his physique had increased by 0.3, to 3.7. He took out the Inspiration Pill, which had a lustrous white surface and a faint colorful glow, and swallowed it. He once again experienced the profound feeling of having his aptitude strengthened.
Then, he took out the ax and began to cut the bear demon’s huge head. However, he quickly realized that the demon’s corpse was very tough. The ax could not cut it, so he had no choice but to take out the only mid bronze weapon in his hand, which was the Frost Sword, to deal with the spoils of war.
The Frost Sword was much sharper than the ax, but it was still exhausting to cut the bear demon’s corpse. It took Zhou Chen more than five minutes to completely cut off the bear’s head.
“It should be dark outside. This is it for today.”
After finally obtaining the second Inspiration Pill, Zhou Chen felt that it was time to go back and rest. Although he had basically crushed the bear demon in the battle just now, he had exhausted a lot of energy. He needed to rest and recover, and also change the two demon heads to silver.
After walking out of the nauseating cave with the bear demon’s head, Zhou Chen realized that the little bird that had guided him here had already disappeared. It seemed like it was not confident in him killing this bear demon.
After finding the head of the eagle demon that he had hidden near the cave, he began his return.
“I am not sure about the way back… but it’s not a problem, I’ll just ask a few animals.”
Zhou Chen did not leave any markings while roaming in the mountain because after obtaining the Beast King passive skill, all the wild beasts had become his eyes and ears.. He only needed to ask them for directions.
