"Hu …"
Exhaling deeply, Li Mo gazed at the dying blood bat king.
He was glad the bat king didn't release a mental attack while he was fighting the blood bats. But from the looks of it, it didn't have the energy to do so.
When it gave birth, it was at its weakest.
Li Mo's luck was truly heaven-defying this time. With his current power, even a wounded blood bat king would've had a 50% chance of winning!
Squeak …
Seeing Li Mo's sword-wielding, blood-stained body, the blood bat king let out two weak cries.
But in its cry, Li Mo heard anger and a trace of unwillingness.
"Before I kill you, I have one more thing to do!"
Li Mo didn't care if the Blood Bats understood him or not. His eyes fell on the newly hatched Blood Bats on the ground!
"Moon Decapitation!"
Boom …
The soft shout was followed by a series of explosions.
The pitiful newly born blood bats turned to pieces and a weak energy drilled into Li Mo's body!
It was weak, but there was a lot of it. It boosted Li Mo's energy.
"Zhi …"
Li Mo's actions infuriated the blood bat king once more.
It strenuously tried to move its huge body, but with Li Mo's attack, it had lost all ability to move!
"Humph … Don't put up a last-ditch struggle!
I'll send you to meet your descendants now! "
Li Mo shot the blood bat king a look and jumped.
The Moon Cutter was released twice in a row, and its target was its already injured wings.
Boom!
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded and Li Mo felt a powerful energy drilling into his body!
What surprised him was that this power was even greater than the Scarlet Flame Lion he had killed earlier!
With no time to think, Li Mo sat cross-legged on the ground!
He channeled the energy in his body and turned it into his own.
He sat like this for three days. When Li Mo opened his eyes, he was already in a daze.
His level had also reached a whole new level. As he had hoped, he had reached level 40.
And that wasn't all. Li Mo gained the bat king's inheritance skill, Shadow Escape, while refining it.
"Haha … I'm finally a Level 40 Assassin!"
Li Mo threw his head back and laughed!
Following which, his figure flashed and disappeared like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already in the long passageway.
"Shadow Escape!
Although it wasn't an offensive skill, it was a rare movement skill!
I wonder how powerful my Eviscerate skill will be when I have it? "
Li Mo couldn't help but look forward to this combination of skills.
With Shadow Escape, Li Mo had another way to protect his life and attack besides his speed.
It could allow a person to instantly teleport a distance of a hundred meters, and as the user's strength increased, the distance would continue to increase!
Li Mo returned to the blood bat king's corpse and put it in his storage belt.
Moreover, he had also obtained five Strengthening Stones and a short sword with a purple glow!
"This … This is a purple-grade weapon!"
Li Mo stared blankly at the short sword in his hand and couldn't help but cry out.
But he had no intention of using it. He believed his Dragonscale Scarlet Sword might not be appraised, but it was definitely a purple-grade weapon.
"Zi Lingwei's weapon is also a blue grade weapon. This short sword will be perfect for her!"
Thinking of this, Li Mo circled the cave once more.
After finding nothing else, he left the place.
Exiting the cave, Li Mo greedily took a few breaths of fresh air and went far away.
Just as he left, three figures appeared at the Bone Cave's entrance. They were Wang Zixuan, Zhang Qing, and Shi Yang!
"Big bro, t-this place was cleared!"
"Yeah!
Big bro, who could have such skill?
Look at the blood bat corpses. It must be the work of an expert. But we haven't seen a martial artist above the 40th level on our way here! "
"Sigh!
No matter who did it, it has nothing to do with us!
We came too late … "
Wang Zixuan heard Zhang Qing and Shi Yang's words and felt regret as he squatted to look at the wounds on the blood bats.
"This person's technique is precise and fatal!
Look, there's only one fatal wound on each of the Blood Bats. It seems like this was done by an assassin!
The blood bat corpses haven't hardened yet. This person must have left not too long ago. "
"Ah!
Should we chase after them and see who did it? "
Zhang Qing asked in a hurry, interested in this person.
"Chase?
Do you think we can catch up to someone who can kill a sixth level blood bat king?
If we have the time, let's go look for other demon beasts! "
Wang Zixuan shook his head and left with a sigh.
"Big bro, how can you be so sure that person killed the blood bat king based on these blood bat corpses?
Maybe the blood bat king is still in the cave!
Why don't we go down and take a look? "
Shi Yang shouted at Wang Zixuan.
"This is the season when the blood bat king gives birth. Do you think someone would give up on such a good opportunity?
Since he could come here, he must have a very good understanding of the Blood Bat King, just like me!
Do you think we need to go down and see what's going on? "
Wang Zixuan's voice came leisurely, but he didn't stop walking.
"Ha-ha … you blockhead!
Let's go, don't just stand there like an idiot! "
Zhang Qing patted Shi Yang's shoulder and grinned as he chased after Wang Zixuan.
…
Far from the Bone Cave, Li Mo had no idea he was now the expert Wang Zixuan spoke of. He sat on a small hill, chewing on his rations as he pondered his next step.
"I reached the 40th level in just a few days. There are still twenty more days until my appointment with Zi Lingwei.
Should I go and find her now or continue to kill demonic beasts here?
Forget it, I'll let her train first! "
In the end, Li Mo decided to stay on the outskirts of the Prairie of Death and continue killing demons to improve his strength. He would go find Zi Lingwei when the time came.
She was only moving around the outskirts and didn't need to worry about any danger.
And a person couldn't rely on others to grow. He wanted to see what kind of surprise Zi Lingwei would bring him in a month!
Thinking of this, Li Mo lay on the ground and closed his eyes with a smile.
These past few days had really tired him out. Now that he had reached level 40, he had the strength to fight against a level 6 monster. He could completely rest in peace for a good night's sleep.
A moment later, a light snore rang out.
Li Mo saw his wife, Liu Yan, in his dream. She was still wearing the rainbow dress he gave her, dancing in a sea of flowers.
Her breathtaking beauty and graceful dance left Li Mo in a daze.
While Li Mo was in a trance, a gust of wind blew through the sea of flowers!
Liu Yan and the sea of flowers were gone, leaving behind a pile of bones before Li Mo.
"Ah!
Yan 'er, Yan' er … "
Li Mo wanted to rush over, but a transparent wall blocked his way.
No matter how he screamed, he couldn't see the one he yearned for day and night!
…
Li Mo woke up with a start!
Looking at the endless plains around him, he wiped the cold sweat off his face.
"It was all a dream!"
