At his stall, Lu Wu, who still had no customers, was entertaining himself.
She has never slacked off in her cultivation, wouldn't you say so, System?
But before she could even enjoy a moment of peace, Huo Huo returned with a mountain of rabbits.
Looking at the pitifully dead little rabbits and the pleading eyes of the other animals, Lu Wu could only roll up his sleeves and continue making rabbit heads.
Peel, soak, blanch, and boil thoroughly.
Throughout the entire process, Lu Wu held the reins firmly, and she even had time to communicate with the fox.
"You mean there are other demonic beasts on their way here, wanting to eat rabbit heads to get rid of the black energy? No problem."
Lu Wu is always generous when it comes to cute little animals.
However, the reality was beyond Lu Wu's expectations.
At first, she thought it was just a few foxes, but little did she know that the variety of monsters coming was increasing.
Fox, squirrel, eagle, spider...
It has everything: birds, beasts, and insects.
They timidly hid in the nearby woods, watching Lu Wu, this human.
They knew of the existence of humans, but many of the monsters had never seen humans before.
Tall, white, slender, and fragrant.
Humans are different from what they imagine.
Many of the demonic beasts were not as eager to surround Lu Wu as the two foxes who had eaten the rabbit's head; they were merely spying on him cautiously.
Lu Wu noticed a group of unusual squirrels.
The creature hid in the dense canopy of trees, its tail coiled around its body, with only a pair of tiny eyes peeking out cautiously.
As soon as Lu Wu's gaze fell on it, the squirrel's body would tremble, then its eyes would roll back and it would collapse against the tree trunk.
One unlucky fellow fell straight down from the tree. Luckily, a nearby monster caught him, otherwise it might have been a case of a monster dying from a falling object.
Of course, the ferocious beast and the dead beast are the same rat.
Even without getting close, Lu Wu could feel the fear emanating from the squirrels.
It was as if, in their eyes, they were some kind of demon.
"Eek!"
The male fox tugged at Lu Wu's sleeve and told her a story.
It turns out that this squirrel is called the Sky-Devouring Rat, which was once a very powerful monster. Adults of this species could reach several hundred meters in size, living up to its name of devouring the heavens.
As the body expands, so does the mind.
In short, they got carried away.
After learning that humans occupied a much larger territory outside, they wanted to conquer humans and make them their servants.
But one must know that there are mountains beyond mountains and skies beyond skies.
Although the Devouring Rat was powerful, it was no match for the strength of human cultivators.
That battle was so fierce that the sky darkened.
Of course, it was only the Devouring Rat that caused the darkness to fall.
Many of the Sky-Devouring Rats died in that battle, and the remaining squirrels dared not fight against humans again. Instead, they slunk back into the mountains and dared not come out again.
Since then, the Devouring Rats that have multiplied have become smaller and smaller, and their abilities have become weaker and weaker, eventually turning into what they are today.
Even after a long time, the fear of humans still flows in their blood.
Upon seeing Lu Wu for the first time, the image that flashed through their minds was the tragic death of the Devouring Sky Rat clan.
At that moment, the squirrels saw the King of Hell beckoning to them.
The impact was too great, and the timid squirrels kicked their legs and fainted.
Lu Wu sighed upon hearing this story. According to the male fox, many of the monsters' ancestors had interacted with humans.
They were so arrogant when they left the mountains, but they were so miserable when they returned.
Humans, indescribable creatures... the lifelong enemy of beasts.
They have an ingrained fear of humans.
If they hadn't been unable to resist the erosion of the black energy within their bodies, they would never have appeared before Lu Wu, this human.
Shake!
As the male fox explained, Lu Wu connected the story with certain races of monsters.
As Lu Wu's gaze swept across the area, the demonic beasts trembled all over.
...
Lu Wu touched her face. She wasn't that scary, was she?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Wu glanced at the system and coughed lightly.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong."
As Lu Wu said this, he looked at the system rewards he had drawn after the last mission.
That's a... rabbit ear.
The white, fluffy rabbit ears have pink flecks in the center.
The fur is soft, and the long ears feel just like real ones.
When Lu Wu won this item in the lottery, she deeply suspected that the system was playing some strange game with her.
As it turns out, the system's perspective was very forward-looking.
The function of this thing is very simple: after wearing it, she can disguise herself as a giant rabbit, and her human aura will disappear.
This thing is a divine weapon specifically designed to target these terrifying monsters.
Lu Wu put it on and shook his head.
For a fleeting moment, she truly had the illusion that her head had grown ears.
But these beasts have all seen her, so how can this thing still be effective?
While Lu Wu was pondering, he heard a lot of noise coming from the monsters.
The translator starts.
"Hey, where's that human?"
"A person? What person? Isn't that just a rabbit over there?"
"Yes, he's a bit tall and has a lot of chest muscles, but he's definitely a vegetarian."
Lu Wu: Those aren't pectoral muscles.
The soft sounds drifted into Lu Wu's ears. Lu Wu took out a mirror and found that her appearance had not changed, except that she had an extra pair of ears on her head.
Can this thing change a monster's perception?
Anything produced by our system is guaranteed to be of high quality.
"System, I love you."
The emotionless confession system from Lu Wu never replies.
This change in perception was remarkable. Even the three foxes who had spent time with Lu Wu, after a moment of confusion, began to see Lu Wu as a tall rabbit who sold rabbit heads.
