With a loud bang, dust filled the air!
Li Mo hastily retreated ten meters away.
"This flaming lion is a peak fifth level demon for sure. Even this attack didn't kill it!"
Li Mo didn't feel any energy entering his body. He stared in shock at the dust that hadn't dissipated yet.
"Hu …"
A ball of fire flew out from the dust, heading straight for Li Mo.
"F * ck!
It can still attack like this! "
Li Mo used Piercing Air in a hurry to dodge.
Then he saw a huge silhouette walk out of the dust!
"W-what's going on?
H-how did it get so big? "
Li Mo's eyes were wide as saucers.
The flaming lion before him was twice the size of the previous one. If it weren't for the blood and the bone-deep wounds, Li Mo would've suspected it wasn't the same flaming lion.
"Roar …"
A deafening roar shook Li Mo's ears, deafening him for a moment.
It even attracted the attention of the other guilds!
"Heavens!
Look what kind of demon beast it is! "
"Not good, let's hurry up and leave. Don't stay here and watch the show.
That demon beast is a flaming lion!
I heard it has the power of a seventh level demon beast! "
"That guy is overestimating himself, attacking the flaming lion. He's courting death!"
"Look, that guy is also strong.
He even wounded the flaming lion! "
…
Sounds of discussion could be heard from the crowd that had gathered to watch the show. However, these people did not approach and only watched from a very safe distance!
"F * ck!
Could it be that this guy leveled up after eating the Earth Dragon?
My, Li Mo's, luck is just too good! "
Seeing the completely different Scarlet Blaze Lion, Li Mo couldn't think of any other explanation.
However, it was just as he had thought. The Flaming Wild Lion had successfully advanced to the level of a Class 6 Demonic Beast after eating the Earth Dragon's essence!
"Roar …"
With another deafening roar, the flaming lion ignored its wounds and pounced on Li Mo.
Judging by its ferocity, it wouldn't rest until it tore Li Mo to shreds.
A sixth level demon beast's speed wasn't something Li Mo could match.
It was a good thing this guy had suffered a heavy blow, allowing Li Mo to escape unscathed. If not, he would've become its meal.
…
There was no lack of players above Level 30 among the distant spectators. When they saw the injured Flaming Lion, they began to grow restless. After all, it was a rare opportunity to level up.
In the crowd, a man in black stared at the flaming lion with glowing eyes. His fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard.
"If I can injure this Flaming Wild Lion, my level will directly break through to Level 35.
It's best if both of you get injured. At that time, I'll be able to defeat you effortlessly.
Hehe … "
As the man spoke, he walked towards the front of the crowd.
Everyone who stood in his way automatically made way for him. It seemed like this guy was quite famous in the Death Plains.
"It's over!
That kid was going to be out of luck.
If it doesn't die in the hands of the Flaming Wild Lion, it will be snatched away by the Hei Yan General! "
"Sigh!
I wonder if this bro's luck is good or bad!
It was so hard to find a Flaming Wild Lion and Hei Yan showed up. "
"Quiet, don't let him hear.
Or you'll be out of luck. Hei Yan is a 34th level demon beast! "
…
Seeing Hei Yan walk to the front of the crowd, the others whispered, feeling sorry for Li Mo who was still fighting the Flaming Wild Lion.
It seemed they had suffered a lot at the hands of Hei Yan!
Li Mo was oblivious to the fact that there were already people who had designs on the Flaming Wild Lion, fighting it to the death.
After using Eviscerate a few more times, Li Mo's energy was almost depleted.
However, because the Flaming Lion had suddenly advanced to the level of a Level Six Demonic Beast, its defense had increased a lot. This time, the attack did not cause any damage to it.
Instead, it infuriated it even more.
"Roar …"
With a roar, the Flaming Wild Lion's mane stood on end as it spat fireballs.
Not only that, but its steel-whip-like tail also began to rapidly lengthen.
It lashed at Li Mo!
"Huff …"
Pa …
This time, Li Mo had a taste of its power. Dodging its attacks, Li Mo had no chance to retaliate!
Pa pa pa …
After dodging a fireball, the Flaming Wild Lion's tail followed.
Due to the exhaustion, Li Mo's left arm was whipped by its tail.
"Ah …"
A scorching pain immediately assaulted his entire body!
"Damn it!
This won't do. I'll die from exhaustion sooner or later.
I need to close the distance to have a chance to kill it! "
Li Mo clutched his injured arm as he racked his brain for a way out.
"Surprise attack!"
But then Zi Lingwei's voice entered Li Mo's ear.
A figure flitted past Li Mo and charged at the Flaming Wild Lion.
"Zi Lingwei, get back here!"
Li Mo shouted in panic. Seeing that she didn't stop Zi Lingwei, he endured the pain and followed her.
Seeing the two humans approaching, the Flaming Wild Lion's tail twitched even more.
He no longer spat out fireballs, but streaks of raging flames.
"Watch out!"
Zi Lingwei's weak strength couldn't dodge its attack.
Just as it was about to be engulfed in flames, Li Mo threw it to the ground and rolled to the side.
"Foolish woman!
Get out of here! "
Li Mo knew Zi Lingwei was doing this to attract the Flaming Wild Lion's attention and buy him time to escape.
But how could he let his comrade sacrifice herself for him?
"No … I won't go. Leave, I'll draw it away!"
Zi Lingwei pushed Li Mo away and charged at the Flaming Wild Lion.
However, before Zi Ling could rush over, a black figure approached from afar, charging towards the Raging Inferno Lion at an incredible speed.
It also successfully drew its attention, leaving Li Mo and Zi Lingwei safe for the time being.
The newcomer was none other than the man called Hei Yan who was watching from afar.
"Get out of here!"
Li Mo saw someone joining the fray and dragged Zi Lingwei to safety.
Hu …
After running a hundred meters in one breath, Li Mo sat on the ground, panting.
But his eyes weren't on the man in black or the Flaming Wild Lion, but on Zi Lingwei.
"I'll settle the score with you later.
Now, you have to stay here obediently. Do you understand me? "
Li Mo's tone was unquestionable.
"We're safe now. What else do you want?"
Seeing that Li Mo had no intention of leaving, Zi Lingwei shouted.
"Humph!
This person took advantage of our mutual destruction to attack.
He may have saved us, but I will not let him steal my demon beast! "
"B-but you're no match for that demon beast!
Even if he didn't appear, you wouldn't be able to kill it.
We'd better leave this place as soon as possible. Don't go there anymore, okay? "
Li Mo knew Zi Lingwei was worried about him, but he couldn't take this lying down.
He spent most of his energy, so how could he let that man take advantage of him?
Moreover, he had already noticed that although the Crimson Flame Lion was attacking continuously, it was only casting its skills on the spot.
This meant it was exhausted, and with its wounds, it was at the end of its tether.
Li Mo was confident he could kill it as long as he could get close enough to attack its vitals!
"Cut the crap!
I told you to listen to me.
I have a way to kill it. Just stay here and be good! "
With that, Li Mo ignored Zi Lingwei.
He took a bunch of recovery pills from his storage belt and stuffed them in his mouth.
