Carefree Path of Dreams

Panda Novel

“Voodoo Corpses… They were rumored to be blood descendent demons born from the corpses of Evil Demons. They have low intelligence and act like wild beasts; they’re also active at night and have powerful recovery abilities such that they would plunder the blood and meat of other living beings to supplement their own body. A fully matured Voodoo Corpse is essentially a mountain of meat!”

Fang Yuan silently recalled the message in the Night Family Clan Illustrations,“The Voodoo Corpse in the Bay of Pigs is clearly much more cunning! It only hunts a few people every day. In this crowded and packed dock, it was as if nothing unusual had happened…”

After all, the Voodoo Corpse had low intelligence and, hence, was considered pretty decent to be able to have such awareness whilst hunting. However, it would of course not know how to differentiate between a resident and a foreigner.

Due to this, the local workers gradually found out that their buddies were decreasing as time went by. After a few investigations, they finally discovered traces of the Voodoo Corpse.

It’s a pity that, to them, finding a trace of the Night Family Clan meant that it was the start of a disaster.

“In the Bay of Pigs, where are some of the places that a Voodoo Corpse can hide?”

Fang Yuan silently strolled through the market, his gaze focused on many places with dark shadows. “Old houses, storehouses, and underground cellars… all of these are possible.”

It was hard to imagine that there was actually such a monster in this flourishing dock.

At this moment, was it hiding in a shadow somewhere greedily focusing on the food in its hunting ground?

Fang Yuan suddenly jerked up.

“In actual fact, based on the manpower and preparation that Flock had brought over, a mere Voodoo Corpse can be defeated… The only thing I’m scared of is a sudden situation…

“It’s such a pity… that Flock didn’t listen to my suggestion to capture Black Jack and the others for interrogation. Otherwise, it would’ve been easier as we could at least have some evidence.”

Fang Yuan also understood Flock’s caution. Although the black market businessmen might have the roles of a mouse and vulture, this group of people was not to be underestimated.

As people from the dark side amongst ordinary people, they even had connections with many of the Demon Hunter branches in order to provide them with large amounts of resources.

Being in a high position, they would need to know how to handle things in a clean way.

For example, if any clues were to be discovered during this operation, Flock would be able to get rid of all the black market profiteers in the Hurin area when he was back.

“Unfortunately… it would be too late when that time arrives.” Fang Yuan shook his head. “If I can operate on own my own, I would like to go back and drag Black Jack out before doing anything else…”

Through his methods, it would be a very simple task to force the truth out of the other party.

“Hmm?” At this moment, he felt a weak, malicious intent crash into him from behind.

“Sorry!”

A young girl hugging a paper bag tripped and bumped into Fang Yuan, her crimson red hair, flew in the wind, the soapy fragrance that was trapped in it dispersed into the air.

She blushed and seemed to not know what to do and bowed slightly before squeezing back into the crowd.

“So a person like me actually has some luck in love as well?” Fang Yuan smiled slightly and silently turned into a corner.

…

“Haha… that foreigner looked like a good target from a glance. He was actually strolling around in the market, I would be sorry if I didn’t steal from him!”

The young girl with crimson red hair ran around a corner and got rid of her act, she jumped high into the air, twirling the wallet in her hand. “I’ll have money for food tomorrow.”

She unzipped the wallet excitedly and was quickly dumbfounded. “So much?! Something’s wrong!”

As a robber that had wandered in the Bay of Pigs from a very young age, her first thoughts of seeing a thick stack of money wasn’t that she was rich, but that there was huge danger!

“The clothing of that pretty-faced boy didn’t seem luxurious, how is it possible that he has so much money? Unless he’s from a wealthy family somewhere? No! There will be several servants around a wealthy master when he’s out for a trip, that means…”

“There’s also the possibility that I’m very powerful!” Fang Yuan jumped down from the wall. “You little mouse… where are you thinking of running to?”

“I… I found this wallet on the streets and was just thinking of returning it to you!” The female robber smiled awkwardly and her cheeks flushed instantly. Even her large, twinkling eyes were filled with tears. “Mister… you must believe me!”

“You’re very smart for not trying to escape!” Fang Yuan walked forward without hurrying and took back his wallet. “Do you know why I let you off intentionally until you arrived here?”

The female robber gulped, looked at the isolated alley and listened to the noises that seemed to be very far away. Her voice became uneven, “Because… there is no… no one here!”

“Bingo! That’s correct!” Fang Yuan checked the female robber out; she had fair skin, purple eyes, and an exquisite face. Even if it was covered, he could also tell that she was reasonably pretty.

“Just now… If I had exposed you on the main straight, would you have done that? Don’t lie to me!” Fang Yuan asked coldly, a light emitting from his eyes.

“I would…” The female robber looked down. “I would’ve torn my own skirt and shouted for help!”

“That really is a good idea!” Fang Yuan nodded his head. “Second question, what’s your name?”

“Almon, I’m Almon, my lord!”

The female robber became as obedient as a kitten, this was also her survival philosophy—she would become obedient once she met an undefeatable power.

“Very good, I like an honest kid!”

Fang Yuan was astonished, this female robber had actually spoken the truth twice. It was unbelievable.

After all, there were many robbers who would only confess over their dead bodies after stealing their prize.

Unless… she felt that something was amiss!

“Did she predict danger? Or is it something else?” He stared at Almon’s purple pupils and pondered before talking in a loud voice immediately afterwards, “The third question… Have there been any unusual things happening during the night here? For example, missing people or the discovery of a man-eating monster or something along those lines?!”

“You…”

Fang Yuan discovered that her pupils contracted once the question was asked and was elated.

However the other party was panic-struck. “I know now… You’re a demon hunter… There really is a monster in the night at the Bay of Pigs!”

“Tell me what you know and I’ll let you go!” Fang Yuan asked quickly.

“I should’ve thought of it earlier, that it’s no longer safe here… John and Jonna disappeared this way…” The female robber lost focus instantly and was muttering something. She looked heart-broken and seemed to be blaming herself, “I was too careless!”

“So, what? Do you have any clues?” Fang Yuan asked with much interest.

“Are you here to hunt it down? Demon hunter? Almon clenched her teeth. “I beg of you, kill it as soon as possible, or else there’ll be many innocent victims every day! I suspect that my two partners were killed by it, but I have no idea where it is.”

“Okay, but this demon likes to operate in the darkness. Be careful not to go to places that are too shady. Do you know any places here that are quite spacious and have little light during the day?”

After perceiving the truth in the other party’s words, Fang Yuan shook his head regrettably and continued questioning her.

“Dark places?” Almon was taken aback. “There’s an abandoned stretch of storehouses at the east side. There won’t be any sunlight in the storehouses for the whole day…”

“Aside from that, are there any underground caves?”

“How is that possible? The Bay of Pigs is a harbor. Any underground cave would be drowned by the water! Unless someone dug an underground chamber. It also wouldn’t be very large usually.”

“Okay, you can leave now!”

Fang Yuan nodded his head, he kept his wallet but took out a bill again and gave it to her. “Here’s your tip.”

“Thank you, boss!”

Almon was a little hesitant, but went on to stretch out her hand to receive it; looked like she was in need of money.

“This Demon Hunter is a good person?”

Looking at Fang Yuan’s leaving shadow, her emotions were very complicated…

…

Pig’s Head Hotel.

“I’m back!”

Fang Yuan came to a big room and politely greeted Vice President Flock.

“I’ve brought the map of the Bay of Pigs, as well as the locations that have a spreading dark aura.” While he was saying that, he handed him a large piece of goat-skin paper.

“Not bad!”

Flock spread it out and was attracted by the detailed descriptions after taking a glance. “It’s unexpected that you have such skill in making a map. This’ll be much more convenient! Tonight we’ll set out secretly and patrol around the harbor after splitting into three groups! Hulk, you’ll stand guard in the hotel.”

“Understood!”

Fang Yuan could only look on coldly. Flock had the ability of an A-grade Demon Hunter, and the other Demon Hunters were also almost as smart and efficient. What used to be a newbie Demon Hunter would, of course, be incomparable.

He could only go with the flow and accept the arrangement given to him then.

Others also knew that Hulk was only an unlucky chap with limited power that was sucked into this operation. They would have to take care of him if he went along and, hence, didn’t have any opinions about it.

“Now, I’ll separate us into groups…”

While Flock started to allocate the manpower, Fang Yuan saw the opportunity and discreetly retreated to begin preparing food for the others.

The hotel’s dinner for today was potato with braised beef. The taste was decent, and every Demon Hunter had their fill by eating a large plate of it. They promptly went to either rest or to clean and try out their weapons.

When night arrived, they disappeared from their rooms, one by one into the darkness, leaving Fang Yuan alone.

“Knowing that my safety will be guaranteed under the condition that I don’t do anything is clearly not my style.”

In the middle of the night, Fang Yuan climbed out of his bed and looked at the powder in his hands and smiled.

Today, he did something to the female robber, Almon.

To him, that woman felt a little weird and seemed to be hiding something. Hence, he casually planted something for precaution.

At that moment, Fang Yuan changed to his windbreaker, carried his sword, secured the gun onto his waist, and checked the medicament belt once before vanishing into the night.

He went to the alley that he and Almon had met in the day and took out a bottle. He then removed the cork and sniffed. A stench drifted into his nose instantly.

“D*mn it… Who invented this tracking powder, gross!”

Fang Yuan swung his head and sniffed the air again. A hint of fragrance entered his nostrils and wouldn’t fade away. It became a road marker.
