"You stinky gorilla!
I will never trust you again! "
Li Mo, with his bruised and swollen face, watched the jumping Giant Vajra Ape with a bitter expression.
"Wu …"
The Giant Vajra Ape ignored Li Mo and let out a triumphant cheer.
Li Mo dragged his weary body into a large tree hole.
With the Giant Kong Ape here, he didn't need to climb a tree for the night. This tree hole wasn't as comfortable as the dorm's bed, but it was better than sleeping on a tree trunk.
The Giant Kong Ape was about the same height as Li Mo, but it was still a cub.
Li Mo's playful nature kicked in and he squeezed into the tree hole that could only fit one person at a time, ruining his dreams of a good night's sleep.
…
Early the next morning, Li Mo opened his eyes and smiled at the sleeping Giant Vajra Ape.
This guy was the king of the Misty Woods, but it was like a child before him.
It was naughty, but it saved his life time and again.
If it hadn't stopped Feng Qingxuan yesterday, the consequences would've been unthinkable. It could be said that he got rid of a powerful enemy in the future.
Li Mo cautiously crawled out of the tree hole and took a breath of fresh air, feeling refreshed.
"I wonder what my luck will be like today. Will I run into a fifth level demon beast?"
Li Mo stretched his limbs and sighed as he gazed at the misty woods.
He wanted to use the Giant Kong Ape's deterrence to kill as many fifth level demon beasts as possible.
Not only would he level up fast, he might even get some blue equipment and strengthening stones.
If not, he would have no choice but to kill third and fourth level demon beasts once the Giant Kong Ape left him. Not only would his leveling speed slow down, but he would also end up empty-handed.
"Wu …"
The Giant Kong Ape's voice came from behind, interrupting Li Mo's train of thought.
"Ha-ha … kiddo, you're awake!"
"Wu …"
The Giant Adamantine Ape nodded in agreement in a very human-like manner. Moreover, it used its claws to rub its eyes lazily.
If it weren't for the ape's inability to speak, Li Mo would've wondered if it was even human.
"Little guy, do you think I should give you a name?
It wasn't a long-term solution if the little fellow kept calling him that!
How about I call you Great Sage from now on? What do you think? "
Wu wu wu …
The Giant Kong Ape heard Li Mo's words and its big black eyes turned as if in deep thought. In the end, it let out a few excited cries.
He seemed quite satisfied with the name Li Mo gave him.
"Haha … good!
Then from now on, I will call you Great Sage! "
Li Mo stroked its fur, happy as well.
He took out his rations and prepared to have breakfast with the Great Sage.
Perhaps because Great Sage had never tasted human food, he only sniffed it then looked at Li Mo in a daze.
"This is our human food. It tastes pretty good. Try it!"
Seeing Li Mo enjoying it, Great Sage put his rations in his mouth.
Then Li Mo regretted it. The Great Sage's appetite was too good. In just a few moments, Li Mo's three days worth of rations were gone.
And he didn't seem to have had enough!
Seeing how Great Sage was staring at him, Li Mo had no choice but to give him three days worth of rations to fill his belly.
"Ugh!
I was too impulsive. You should just eat your own wild fruits from now on! "
…
After cleaning up all traces of him spending the night here, the man and beast once again set out on the road of demon hunting.
Since he didn't know when Great Sage would leave, Li Mo wanted to kill as many high level demon beasts as he could in his limited time.
Taking out the map Han Tianyu had given him, he led the Great Sage deeper into the forest.
But to Li Mo's disappointment, things didn't turn out the way he wanted.
The deeper they went, the more demon beasts there were. Li Mo had Great Sage hide his aura, but he still didn't find anything.
Noon was fast approaching and they still hadn't found anything.
Just as Li Mo was frowning, Great Sage jumped next to him.
Pulling his clothes, Great Sage pointed ahead.
Li Mo noticed a huge tree not far ahead, at least ten meters in diameter. It stood out in the forest like a crane in a flock of chickens!
"Oh my god!
This tree must have been here for tens of thousands of years! "
"Wu …"
While Li Mo was still in a daze, Great Sage pulled him towards the tree.
"Hey, hey … wait, we have to be careful!"
Li Mo's struggles were futile. Great Sage ignored him and only stopped when they reached the tree.
He then climbed up the tree and disappeared in the dense foliage.
"Great Sage!
Great Sage! "
Li Mo called a few times, but there was no response. He didn't follow, but circled the tree a few times and took out a map.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw it!
The map showed where he wanted to be, exactly where Han Tianyu had marked him.
"F * ck, what's going on?
How did I end up here? I didn't go this way! "
Looking at the three words on the tree hole, Li Mo couldn't help but hesitate.
He had already gone against Han Tianyu's instructions and entered the Misty Forest.
Now he was in the danger zone Han Tianyu warned him about. It was hard to decide if he should stay or go.
If he turned around and went to hunt for demon beasts to level up, his life wouldn't be in danger.
But despite the danger zone, with Great Sage as the king of the forest accompanying him, there shouldn't be any problems. Not to mention high level demon beasts had a chance of dropping rare equipment and strengthening stones.
"Wu …"
Just as he was in a dilemma, Great Sage poked his head out of the tree and barked at him, as if beckoning him to follow.
"Forget it!
Riches come from danger. If I only kill low level demon beasts, I'll never get a chance to revive Liu Yan and Ao Ying.
I'll go all out! "Li Mo steeled his heart, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of leveling up.
Li Mo steeled his heart, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of leveling up.
He leaped up and climbed up the tree as well.
Next to Great Sage, Li Mo saw a pitch-black hole in the dense foliage.
"A tree hole?
No matter how big the tree is, what could be in the tree hole? "
Li Mo was a bit disappointed. He didn't know why Han Tianyu marked a tree hole as dangerous.
"Wu …"
The Great Sage seemed to see through his thoughts. He called out to him, then scurried into the cave. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Li Mo had no choice but to follow.
Since he was already here, he wouldn't give up until he saw what was inside.
