"Leader, what do you mean by that?"
Li Mo didn't understand why Han Tianyu would say such a thing. Not just him, but Leng Yihan and Zi Lingwei also didn't know why the usually calm leader would lose his composure like this.
"Ha-ha … it's like this. I just received a notice from the empire. After the competition, we will replace some of the smaller guilds.
Our Leaffall Town is on the list. If we don't get a good result in the competition, our guild will be disbanded.
I was worried all my years of hard work would go down the drain, but you have given me hope. "
Han Tianyu's eyes flashed with tears of emotion.
It was clear how important Leaffall Town was to him.
"Leader, don't worry.
I believe we will get a good result in the competition. We won't let you down! "
Li Mo was used to seeing people cry, especially the seventy year old Han Tianyu who he owed a debt of gratitude to.
"En!
Alright, I'm relieved to hear that.
You are now in the 22nd level. The empire's martial competition will be held in three months.
You still have a lot of room for improvement.
I believe that you four children will be able to bring glory to our Fallen Leaf Town Guild! "
Leng Yihan told Han Tianyu everything that happened in Misty Forest, including how Li Mo got a demon beast skill. But he didn't mention how he and Li Mo killed Veluriyam City's people.
"Little Mo!
Is he telling the truth?
You've obtained another demon beast's skill? "
Han Tianyu couldn't believe his ears and turned to Li Mo for confirmation.
"Yes, leader.
I was … "
Li Mo went on to tell how he met the gorilla and how he was lucky enough to kill that bird of unknown level and get the demon beast's skill.
"Gorilla?
You're talking about it! "
Han Tianyu took a thick tome from his tall bookshelf and flipped it open before asking Li Mo.
Li Mo walked over and recognized the demon in the book. It was the gorilla he saw in the book.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Heavens!
Little Mo, what kind of heaven-defying luck do you have?
This Demonic Beast was called a Giant Adamantine Ape. Even a newborn cub already possessed the strength of a Level 5 Demonic Beast.
According to the size of the adult Giant Adamantine Ape, I believe that it should have the strength of at least a Class 8 Demonic Beast. Moreover, it will continue to evolve over time.
There was once a level-90 warrior in our empire who encountered a level-10 Giant Adamantine Ape in the depths of the Misty Forest! "
Li Mo shivered at Han Tianyu's words.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His mouth was wide open as he stared at the portrait of the Giant Adamantine Ape.
After a quarter of an hour, he finally recovered from his shock.
"Guild Leader, Instructor, take a look at this Demonic Beast. It was injured by the Giant Adamantine Ape, and I killed it and obtained its Demonic Beast Skill."
Li Mo took the bird's corpse out of his storage belt.
Bang …
The corpse of the giant bird took up the space of a house.
"This is …"
Han Tianyu carefully looked at the giant bird and hurriedly went to the book to look for information about it.
"Little Mo, this guy is huge. How did you kill him?"
Zi Lingwei came to Li Mo and muttered.
"When I saw him, he was heavily injured and couldn't move under a tree.
That's why I killed it. Otherwise, do you think that I can kill it with my strength?
"No, I mean its feathers were as hard as steel needles.
Ordinary weapons wouldn't be able to harm him. What weapon did you use to kill him?
Is it still that sword of yours? "
"Yeah!
This is my long sword.
Uh … "
Zi Lingwei's explanation enlightened Li Mo. He still didn't know what rank his Dragonscale Scarlet Sword was in this world.
But for a skill to kill a giant bird, it had to be something else!
"Wow!
That sword of yours should be a King Armament, right? Where did you get it from? "
"He-he … it was passed down from my ancestors!
Let's help chief find out more about this Demonic Beast. "
Facing Zi Lingwei's questions, Li Mo could only dodge them.
He then quickly changed the subject. He didn't want anyone but Lan Jingyuan to know of his past. At least not now.
"I found it, I found it!
It was a fifth level demon beast called Bloodthirsty Golden Eagle. It was no surprise that it couldn't beat the Giant Kong Ape.
But I don't get it. The Giant Kong Ape has a violent nature and never leaves its prey alive. Why didn't it kill the Golden Eagle before leaving? "
Han Tianyu's words sent everyone into deep thought.
"Yeah, if I ran into a fifth level demon beast, I wouldn't leave it for anyone else.
Then why didn't the Giant Kong Ape kill it? It even used a tree to hold it down. It's clearly afraid it'll escape! "
With Han Tianyu's explanation, Li Mo began to recall every detail of killing the Golden Eagle.
Many clues pointed to the Giant Vajra Ape's intention. Its goal was to have Li Mo kill the golden eagle.
"But why did it do it?
It wanted to kill me the last time I saw it!
Was it because of the baby Giant Kong Ape? "
Li Mo suddenly realized something. When the Giant Kong Ape wanted to kill him, it was the baby that stopped it.
They were extremely human-like. The young Giant Adamantine Ape regarded him as its playmate, so it was completely reasonable for it to give him such a gift.
"Right!
That must be it.
Chief, I know why they didn't kill the Bloodthirsty Golden Eagle … "
Li Mo spoke his mind.
Everyone was silent, as if in disbelief at Li Mo's outrageous conjecture.
After a while, Han Tianyu sighed.
"Sigh!
Little Mo's words don't make much sense.
But demon beasts don't behave the way we humans do. Perhaps it's the truth.
Since Little Mo didn't get into trouble and even got so many benefits, let's not dwell on this issue.
Little Mo, you're not allowed to venture into the Misty Forest without a mentor next time, or I'll punish you! "
Leng Yihan glanced at Li Mo as if blaming him for not listening to his advice.
Li Mo stuck his tongue out in embarrassment. He had completely forgotten about the fact that he disobeyed orders and went into the depths of the forest.
"Yes!
Chief, I won't do it again! "
Li Mo knew Han Tianyu was concerned about him, but he couldn't say he went into the forest to avoid the Lazuli City guild. He had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"Ye Fan and Han Zhe went with their mentors to the Plains of Death to cultivate. They should be back tomorrow. Go get some rest.
When they come back, I will teach you about demon beasts. It'll be good to broaden your horizons. Otherwise, you won't even know you're in danger! "
Li Mo knew what Han Tianyu was referring to and left the room with Violet Spirit after saying his goodbyes.
