Li Mo thought he had done his part by saving the lives of the three from Snow Cherry Town. He didn't want to stick his nose in other people's business.
It was their guild's business, so Li Mo wasn't in a position to interfere.
But he was just a few steps away when Liu Zhangshan's anxious voice came from behind.
"Benefactor, take care!
We still have something we need your help with! "
Li Mo stopped and turned back with a frown.
"What is it?"
"Benefactor, Shuang 'er and Mu Qing are both at the 23rd level. I hope benefactor will help us to the end and help them reach the 30th level!
Don't worry, we won't let you do it for free. We will give you a satisfactory reward! "
Li Mo wasn't moved by the offer and spoke leisurely.
"I have other matters to attend to. I can't help you with this.
If you want to raise their strength to Rank 30, with your strength, it won't be a difficult matter. As long as you take them to hunt some Rank 4 Demon Beasts, I believe that it won't take long for them to reach Rank 30. "
"B-but we don't have time!
If not for this, why would I take the risk to bring them to the outskirts of Misty Woods? "
"That's your problem. I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye!"
Li Mo ignored Liu Zhangshan's pleas and vanished into the darkness.
It wasn't that he had a heart of stone and didn't want to help them, but that he had many things to do.
Bringing these three with him was inconvenient. And if they ran into some powerful demon beast, he wasn't sure he could protect them with his current strength.
…
Li Mo returned to his resting spot on the tree and looked at Liu Zhangshan's group.
The bonfire was extinguished, so it was time to leave.
But the next day at dawn, Shuang 'er's cry for help roused Li Mo.
"These three don't know the difference between life and death. Why are they so stubborn?"
Li Mo hopped off the tree and ran in the direction of the sound.
But the next time he saw the three, Liu Zhangshan was lying in a pool of blood, half of his body devoured.
Shuang 'er and Mu Qing were cowering on the branches of a large tree, their faces filled with fear.
A huge white tiger was roaring at them from under the tree.
"Hell White Tiger!
Damn it, what's going on?
This is a Level Six Demonic Beast, how could it possibly run to the edge of this forest and bring it here? "
Li Mo looked at the beast with doubt, the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword in his hand.
And the Hell White Tiger's attention was on Li Mo.
It opened its bloody maw and roared at Li Mo.
* Roar … *
Li Mo felt a gust of wind coming at him. If he wasn't prepared, he would've been thrown to the ground.
"It's so strong!
It should be a Hell White Tiger that's about to advance to level seven! "
Li Mo sensed this Hell White Tiger's power and his killing intent intensified.
Although the energy in its body could not allow him to level up, it could still increase his strength by a lot.
But Li Mo was glad the Hell White Tiger hadn't evolved, or he would've had to run.
"Moon Cutter!"
Li Mo no longer hesitated as he jumped and shouted.
The reddish-gold crescent light shot towards the Hell White Tiger.
* Boom … *
The sound of the explosion rang out, and the dead leaves on the ground danced in the air, and mud flew in all directions.
But when everything calmed down, the Hell White Tiger was still standing in its original spot.
Its white fur was dyed red with blood, but it wasn't harmed in the slightest. Instead, it infuriated the beast.
"Roar …"
The Hell White Tiger's roar filled the air as it dragged its huge body and pounced on Li Mo with its bloody maw.
A putrid stench assaulted Li Mo's senses.
Li Mo wasn't about to face it head-on. He borrowed the shockwave from the Hell White Tiger's roar to retreat.
But Moon Cutter didn't stop there, continuing to attack the Hell White Tiger.
* Boom … *
A series of explosions had caused the deathly silent Misty Forest to erupt into chaos.
The Hell White Tiger's defense was formidable, and its dodging speed left Li Mo flabbergasted.
Most of his attacks were evaded by the Hell White Tiger, and the occasional hit didn't hurt its vitals.
Just as Li Mo was about to use his strongest skill, another Hell White Tiger appeared before him.
Li Mo was caught off guard by this sudden change. Luckily he reacted in time and stopped using his skill, holding the Dragonscale Sword in front of his chest.
Thump …
The tiger's huge claw slammed into the Dragonscale Sword, and Li Mo felt as if he was hit in the chest by a thousand-pound sledgehammer.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body flew back a dozen meters before he managed to stabilize himself.
"Clone?
F * ck!
I've hit a snag this time! "
Li Mo rubbed his chest as he stared at the two identical Hell White Tigers, feeling a lingering fear.
If not for the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword blocking most of the attack, Li Mo would've been a meat patty by the Hell White Tiger.
"What do I do?
I still have a fighting chance against one Hell White Tiger, but with this clone, I don't have the slightest confidence.
But the clone's skill shouldn't last long, right?
There's no way it's a sixth level demon beast otherwise. "
Li Mo endured the pain in his chest as he tried to think of a way to deal with it.
"Roar …"
After the two identical Hell White Tigers succeeded in their attack, they faced the sky and roared angrily.
Then they pounced on Li Mo from the left and right.
Li Mo didn't dare to continue the fight.
He could only flee to a tree behind him, avoiding the brunt of the attack until the clone's skill wore off.
But the Hell White Tiger was smart enough to realize Li Mo was stalling for time.
Climbing wasn't its forte, so it could only control its clone to ram into the tree Li Mo was hiding in.
Thump thump thump …
The tree, which required three people to encircle, began to shake violently.
At the same time, it let out a cracking sound, showing it couldn't withstand the Hell White Tiger's attack.
Li Mo jumped to the tree next to him.
Crack …
Just as he steadied himself on another tree, the sound of a tree snapping came, making Li Mo break out in a cold sweat.
But the Hell White Tiger didn't stop there. It turned around and rammed into the tree Li Mo was hiding in …
Just like this, Li Mo jumped to the ninth tree and the Hell White Tiger's clone was nowhere to be seen.
And it wasn't as excited as it was before. In fact, its spirit was dispirited.
Clearly, releasing the Doppelganger skill had consumed too much of its energy.
"Humph!
Now it's my turn.
Eviscerate! "
How could Li Mo let this chance slip by? With a shout, he charged the Hell White Tiger!
Whoosh …
