Li Mo was baffled. He didn't know why the silverback hyenas were still chasing him. He was very close to Great Sage's tree.
"Sigh!
I still have to rely on myself at the most crucial moment!
This Great Sage is too unreliable. He's always so impressive, but why did he drop the ball all of a sudden? "
Whoosh …
Li Mo popped a few more pills in his mouth and started hopping around the forest, no longer running in the dark like before.
This sudden change in tactics had some effect. The silverback hyenas might be as fast as him, but their agility was a far cry from Li Mo's.
Thump thump thump …
Li Mo was doing his best to control his body when he heard crashing sounds behind him. The silverback hyenas couldn't dodge in time and hit the tree.
"Ha-ha … I'll let you chase!"
Whoosh …
In Li Mo's moment of pride, several silver flashes flew past him.
Clang …
They nailed the tree in front of him!
"F * ck!
These guys can't catch me, so they used the silver needles on their backs! "
Li Mo couldn't afford to be careless. These needle-like hairs contained poison.
He didn't know what kind of poison it was, but Li Mo knew it wouldn't end well for him if he got hit.
Whoosh …
Another sound pierced through the air. Li Mo had no choice but to dodge left and right, using a tree as a shield. But this also slowed him down.
Only three silverback hyenas shot the silver needles. The rest were still chasing Li Mo.
In the blink of an eye, Li Mo was overtaken by the first silverback hyenas.
Seeing the gleaming claws and fangs, Li Mo could only defend with the Dragonscale Sword.
Not only that, but he also had to dodge those damn silver needles!
This sudden turn of events put Li Mo in a precarious situation. One misstep and he'd end up in the stomachs of these beasts.
Clang …
Thump …
"Great Sage, oh Great Sage!
If you don't wake up, I'm going to die! "
Li Mo blocked another wave of silver needles and beat back another approaching silverback hyena. He shouted with a hint of despair in his voice.
Wu wu wu …
Dong dong dong …
Who knew if Li Mo's shout had an effect, or if Great Sage woke up on his own in this moment of life and death.
Li Mo sighed in relief when he heard the familiar roar and the pounding on his chest. He saw a glimmer of hope.
"You stinky gorilla, you actually made me so worried for such a long time. Are you worthy of my companionship for more than half a month?"
Bang bang bang …
The Great Sage had no time for Li Mo as he flew around the tree.
He kept waving his sandbag-like fists, knocking the Silver Hounds to the ground one by one.
Ao ao ao …
In an instant, a painful howl rang out from the ground.
Dang dang dang...
When the silver needles struck the Great Sage's body, it was as if they had struck a steel plate. They were completely ineffective.
Wu wu wu …
The Great Sage seemed to be angered by the silver needles shot by the three silver-backed hyenas. After roaring, he gave up on the other silver-backed hyenas that he had shot down and went straight for them!
Bang …
Ao ao ao …
The three silver-backed hyenas couldn't dodge and the Great Sage sent them flying with a single punch.
But the Great Sage wasn't about to let them go. He jumped and grabbed one of the silver-backed hyenas before they hit the ground.
Grabbing its two front legs, he exerted strength in his arms and tore the pitiful Silverback Hyena into two in the blink of an eye!
Wu wu wu …
Holding the bloody corpse of the silver-backed hyenas, the Great Sage roared in ecstasy!
The roar shocked the other silver-backed hyenas, including Li Mo.
This was the king of the forest's roar, releasing a powerful aura from its body.
The rest of the silver-backed hyenas crawled on the ground, not daring to resist.
"S-sixth level demon!
Just a nap and it gained so much power. This giant adamantine ape is the king of the forest! "
Li Mo's eyes went wide as he looked at the familiar yet strange Great Sage.
This guy was at least a head taller than before it went to sleep. If they stood side by side, Li Mo would look like a child.
Wu wu wu …
Seeing Li Mo in a daze, the Great Sage called a few more times, bringing Li Mo back to his senses.
Li Mo smiled at him, knowing what it meant. The Great Sage was leaving the rest of the demon beasts for him!
He looked at the shivering silver-backed hyenas on the ground, no longer as fierce as before.
Of course Li Mo wouldn't give up on such a good chance to raise his level. He was convinced that if he killed these nine fifth level silver-backed hyenas, his power would break through the 30th level, maybe even the 31st or even the 2nd level!
With that in mind, Li Mo walked over to the docile silver-backed hyenas with the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword.
"Humph!
Damn it, you bastards!
You almost took my life just now. Now it's time for you to pay! "
Pchi …
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was heard as the remaining nine silver-backed hyenas had their necks cut off.
Powerful energy flowed into Li Mo's body. He didn't dare dally and sat cross-legged to refine it.
He didn't need to worry about his safety now. As long as he had the Great Sage, a Class 6 Demonic Beast, by his side, no other Demonic Beasts would dare to approach this place.
Half a day passed in a flash, just as Li Mo expected.
After absorbing the energy of five of the Silverback Hyenas, he finally broke through the bottleneck of level 30. The energy of the remaining four Silverback Hyenas also helped him reach the pinnacle of level 31. He was not far from level 32.
Hu …
Exhaling deeply, Li Mo stood up and gazed at the Great Sage who saved his life in the nick of time.
After advancing, this guy was a lot stronger than before. He was now a head taller than Li Mo.
Li Mo was no different from a child in front of him.
"Great Sage, you saved me again. I really don't know how I can repay you!"
Wu wu wu …
Facing Li Mo's thanks, the Great Sage returned to his lively self, without a trace of his king's aura.
He barked twice as if telling Li Mo not to take it to heart. It was nothing to him!
"Sigh!
If it weren't for your help in this Misty Forest, I would've died many times over.
It may not mean much to you, but I will remember it! "
Li Mo patted the Great Sage's shoulder in gratitude.
He was going to give this guy a big hug, but seeing how Great Sage was a head taller than him, Li Mo decided against it. That would be a funny scene!
