Waiting was the hardest part of all!
Li Mo climbed as high as he could, for one, for his own safety, and two, for a better view of the surroundings. He hoped to find Great Sage and the ant queen!
However, a full hour passed, and he still didn't see the Great Sage's shadow.
"Nothing will happen to him, right?
Great Sage may be the king of the forest, but he's still a growing demon.
If I push the ant queen too far, it'll go all out against Great Sage. Victory or defeat will be hard to say! "
Recalling the ant queen's ability to fly, Li Mo's heart was in his throat again.
However, no matter how much he worried, it was useless. Not to mention the fact that he didn't know where they were, even if he knew, with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to participate in the battle between the two Liu Class monsters.
Another hour passed and Li Mo was finally able to rely on his assassin's heightened senses.
He could feel something rushing towards him at high speed!
"Phew … you finally came back!"
With a sigh, Li Mo jumped off the tree.
The Great Sage had already dragged the Queen Ant in front of him.
"Wu …"
It whimpered twice, signaling Li Mo to kill it.
It threw the ant queen before Li Mo. Its body was dented in many places. Great Sage's fists must've hurt it a lot!
Li Mo's heart was moved.
Now he finally understood why the Great Sage wanted to destroy the Bone-eroding Giant Ants' nest. It was all so that he could kill this Class Six Demonic Beast and improve his strength!
Li Mo had a grudge against it before, but now that he thought about it, he felt ashamed!
"Wu …"
Seeing Li Mo standing there in a daze, Great Sage's voice came again.
"Thank you, Great Sage!"
Li Mo gave Great Sage a grateful look and raised the Dragonscale Sword to stab the ant queen.
However, something unexpected still happened. The Ant Queen, who was already very weak, suddenly attacked.
Two huge pincers bit at Li Mo!
Li Mo wanted to retreat, but it was too late. He could only thrust the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword, hoping to kill the ant queen before its pincers reached him!
But how could he outrun the sixth level Ant Queen? Seeing his body about to be cut in two by the giant mandibles, Li Mo closed his eyes in despair.
A moment later, he didn't feel any pain. He opened his eyes and saw that the Great Sage had used his hands to grab the queen's jaw that was about to close.
Woo woo …
Li Mo knew how strong Great Sage's arms were. But from the Great Sage's cries, Li Mo could tell it was using all its strength to save him.
Li Mo's Dragonscale Sword pierced the ant queen's throat without a word.
However, his time-tested method of killing demonic beasts had no effect on the queen ant.
Although it was heavily injured, it didn't die.
Struggling on the ground, Li Mo was flung away along with his sword.
Only the Great Sage was left holding the queen's jaw. But the ant queen sensed its life was in danger.
Struggling for its life, the wings on its back spread and carried the Great Sage into the air.
Its tail curled and kept spraying yellow liquid at the Great Sage.
Despite being a primate, the Great Sage was extremely nimble, dodging left and right in the air without getting hit.
But it was already a dozen meters in the air. At this rate, it would only be a matter of time before it got hit!
Li Mo watched the Great Sage in the air and knew why it was struggling so hard with its opponent.
It didn't want to lose such a good chance to level up, or it could just let go. Why would it take the risk of being shot by the ant acid?
"Great Sage!
Let go, let it go … "
Li Mo shouted from the ground despite his thirst for power.
But he didn't want to trade Great Sage's life for a chance to level up!
"Let go!
Let go!
You'll get hurt!
You stupid gorilla! "
But no matter how Li Mo yelled, the Great Sage showed no signs of letting go.
A sense of helplessness filled Li Mo's heart. The Great Sage's kindness was enough for him to repay for the rest of his life.
If something happened to the Great Sage because of this, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
But the worst part was that Li Mo didn't have the power to help it.
How he wished he was still the Li Mo from the Ancient Continent!
Watching the ant queen and Great Sage climb higher and higher, Li Mo's eyes watered.
At this height, even if the Great Sage listened to Li Mo and let go, he'd be gravely injured!
"No …"
Boom!
Li Mo was at a loss when a huge figure appeared above the ant queen. It was the Diamond Ape.
After knocking the queen down with a single punch, it pulled the Great Sage onto its back.
Thump …
After the ant queen fell heavily to the ground, it also landed lightly on the ground.
"Roar …"
After a loud roar, it wanted to raise its fist and give the ant queen, who had already fallen to the ground, another fatal blow.
"Wu …"
But the Great Sage jumped from its back to the ant queen. The two apes conversed in their own language before their eyes fell on Li Mo.
"Roar …"
The ape roared again, but this time it was directed at Li Mo, as if blaming him for putting its child in danger.
But it didn't attack Li Mo, instead dragging the Great Sage deeper into the forest.
The Great Sage would look back at Li Mo from time to time, pointing at the exhausted ant queen.
Only when they were out of Li Mo's sight did Li Mo's tears flow.
He didn't blame the Diamond Ape. Even if it killed him, Li Mo wouldn't have a word of complaint!
After all, it was because of him that the Great Sage was tangling with the ant queen. If not for the Diamond Ape's timely appearance, Li Mo didn't dare to imagine what would have happened.
For the Great Sage to treat someone as insignificant as himself in front of him in such a manner, it was likely that he was even better than most humans.
"Great Sage!
Thank you for all you've done for me. I have dragged you down.
Don't worry, as long as I, Li Mo, grow stronger, I will repay your kindness!
If any human or demon in this world is a threat to you, I will help you eradicate them all! "
Li Mo swore in his heart as he watched the Great Sage leave.
Then he went before the ant queen and used Moon Decapitation. Li Mo didn't hold back and used all of his power.
The reddish-gold half-moon light flashed and disappeared into its throat!
Pff …
The ant queen's head was separated from her body, and an unprecedented power entered Li Mo's body. He sat cross-legged.
Right now, this place was still very safe. The appearance of the eighth level monster beast, the Great King Kong Giant Ape, caused its aura to still linger here. The monster beasts simply did not dare to approach this place.
