Once Great Sage woke up, it became a sixth level demon. This was no doubt a great help to Li Mo.
His level had already broken through to Level 30. Although the energy within his body was much denser than before, and the power of his two skills was much greater than before, the difference was like heaven and earth compared to before.
But if he wanted to bring out his 31 level power, he needed a third skill.
These days, Li Mo and Great Sage wandered around the ten li radius of the ancient tree hole.
During this period, he had also killed a lot of Level Five monsters, but what made him depressed was that he had already risen to Level 32, but he still hadn't obtained the third skill that he had been dreaming of.
"Sigh!
Looks like demon beasts' skills aren't so easy to get! "
Li Mo sighed dejectedly as he sat under a tree.
He finally understood why the chief and teacher were so shocked when he got two demon beasts' skills. It seemed his heaven-defying luck wasn't on his side.
But Li Mo didn't want to learn an ordinary skill. He always pursued perfection in his cultivation. He would rather not learn a skill for the time being. It was better to have nothing than to have something shoddy.
When he obtained the first inherited skill of a Demonic Beast, he had set himself a goal that was basically impossible for ordinary people to achieve, and that was to obtain all the skills he had learned from Demonic Beasts!
"Wu …"
While Li Mo was in a daze, Great Sage's voice came from the tree overhead and a few wild fruits fell on him.
Li Mo was used to its naughtiness. Over the past few days, Li Mo's three months worth of rations had all been devoured by this guy. Who knew where its appetite came from.
They could only rely on the wild fruits growing in the Misty Forest to fill their stomachs. And the task of finding them fell on Great Sage's shoulders.
Nibbling on the sweet fruit, Li Mo couldn't help but smile. A bold idea popped into his head!
"Great Sage, can you take me to this place?"
He unfurled the map and pointed at the red area Han Tianyu marked, the Desert Sea!
It wasn't far from where they were.
He only needed to walk another hundred miles into the forest and he would be there.
As he urgently needed to find a third skill, he had no choice but to take the risk of disobeying Han Tianyu's warning and try his luck.
After all, he had obtained a lot of benefits from the Ancient Tree Hole. Presumably, the red-marked area would also give him a pleasant surprise.
However, he was very curious about the name of this region. He didn't understand why there would be such a place in the Dense Fog Forest. Was it really like its name, a desert region?
Wu wu wu …
Great Sage shouted in excitement, agreeing to go with Li Mo.
This guy had always been fearless. Li Mo later felt it was better to act on his own than listen to its advice.
Even if Li Mo wanted to go to the heart of the Misty Forest, this guy wouldn't have a problem with it.
Li Mo finished the fruit and rested for a while before continuing his adventure.
It was already noon, and he had to reach the sea of sand before nightfall.
A distance of 50 kilometers was nothing to him and the Great Sage. If they ran at full speed, it wouldn't take long.
But this was the Misty Forest, and the deeper they went, the more likely they'd run into demon beasts. Li Mo would rather go slow than fail.
With the king of the forest, Great Sage, leading the way, it saved them a lot of trouble.
Their luck wasn't bad, only running into fifth level demon beasts.
Sensing the Great Sage's aura, they couldn't wait to hide. How would they dare mess with them?
With the bright moon in the sky, Li Mo's group finally arrived at the sea of sand marked on the map.
But it wasn't a desert like Li Mo imagined. Instead, it was a vast expanse of white mounds.
Not even a blade of grass grew here.
This was one of the rare places in the Misty Forest that didn't even have a hint of greenery.
"T-this is the sea of sand!
Who gave this place such a name?
It doesn't live up to its name!
It should be called a mound! "
Li Mo looked at the pale white mounds in the moonlight and couldn't help but wonder.
But he wasn't in a hurry to check it out. Since Han Tianyu marked this place as a danger zone, it had to be something special. Who knew what sort of danger lurked within.
He planned to strike at daybreak!
And the restless Great Sage had lost his usual liveliness. He was strangely quiet, just like Li Mo as he stared at the mound with a tinge of dread.
"Great Sage!
Is there really something scary here? "
Li Mo asked in a low voice.
"Wu …"
Great Sage whimpered twice in reply. Li Mo didn't know what he was saying, but he could tell from his voice that this place wasn't as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, he would've charged!
"Sigh!
If this place is that dangerous, we'd better go back! "
Li Mo was dejected, but his life was more important.
For a sixth level demon like Great Sage to be so afraid of this place, Li Mo wanted to leave right away.
"Wu …"
Great Sage didn't seem to approve of Li Mo's words.
Instead, she climbed up a big tree and called out to him softly.
Li Mo followed, understanding Great Sage's meaning.
Great Sage must be thinking the same thing as him, wanting to wait until daybreak to act.
A leopard cannot change its spots. It was extremely cautious just a moment ago.
Now that Li Mo was also on the tree, Great Sage found a thick tree trunk and laid down.
It didn't take long for him to start snoring!
"F * ck!
You sure have a big heart. You're still in the mood to sleep in such a dangerous place! "
Li Mo couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. Most of his nervousness dissipated, but the job of keeping watch fell on him again.
Li Mo stared at the mound the whole night, fearing something would suddenly appear and attack them.
But at least the sky was bright and nothing happened.
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief and nudged Great Sage.
"It's about time. You slept the whole night.
Since you don't want us to go, let's get started! "
Opening his sleepy eyes, the Great Sage jumped off the tree and ran towards the mound.
Its actions startled Li Mo, cursing in his heart for being too impulsive.
Since this place was dangerous, why didn't it wait for him to plan before moving?
Li Mo was afraid the guy was in danger and followed.
But his worry was unfounded. Great Sage wasn't as reckless as he thought.
But when he stepped on the mound, his steps became slow and light!
