The Dragonscale Sword glowed in a scarlet gold light. Li Mo's speed was at his limit, leaving behind a long afterimage. He was like a meteor, piercing the Hell White Tiger on the ground.
And the Hell White Tiger's reputation as a sixth level demon wasn't just for show.
Due to its exhaustion, it didn't have the strength to dodge Li Mo's attack. But it still reached out with its claws to slap Li Mo.
Swish, swish, swish …
The Dragonscale Sword danced before the tiger's claws.
In a few breaths, the Hell White Tiger's two front claws turned into eerie white bones, without a trace of flesh.
"Roar …"
The Hell White Tiger howled in pain before crashing to the ground.
Its huge body left a deep hole in the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Li Mo showed himself, but since he couldn't see the Hell White Tiger's condition, he didn't use Eviscerate. Instead, he gathered a strand of lightning in his body into the Dragonscale Sword and shot it at the cloud of dust.
"Zizi …"
"Roar …"
The sound of lightning mixed with the Hell White Tiger's wretched cries rang in the cloud of dust. Then, there was no more movement.
"F * ck, this guy's life force is really strong. It's not dead yet!"
Li Mo was a bit surprised that he didn't feel the Hell White Tiger's energy enter his body.
But for safety's sake, Li Mo didn't rush forward, only patiently waiting for the dust to settle.
After a cup of tea's worth of time, Li Mo finally saw the Hell White Tiger's black body, still smoking. He relaxed and walked before it with the Dragonscale Sword in hand.
"Roar …"
The Hell White Tiger sensed its time was up. With a mournful howl, it closed its eyes like a human, waiting for the grim reaper's arrival.
"Pff …"
Li Mo wasn't softhearted. The Dragonscale Sword pierced its heart.
A powerful and berserk energy entered his body.
"Huff …"
Li Mo exhaled a mouthful of impure air and his lips curled into a smile.
It wasn't because he killed the Hell White Tiger, but because he discovered that he didn't need to sit cross-legged and refine for a long time like before after absorbing the energy of a Class 6 Demon Beast.
He only needed a few minutes to refine and absorb it, which would save him a lot of time.
The Hell White Tiger's corpse was badly damaged, but Li Mo still put it in his storage belt.
This guy's bones were an indispensable ingredient for some pills, and they were worth a lot of money.
"Aiyo!
This guy is not just any ordinary kind of valiant! "
Hell White Tiger's death eased Li Mo's mind and the pain in his chest spread throughout his body.
Li Mo clutched his chest as he walked towards the tree where Shuang'er and Mu Qing were hiding.
At this moment, the two of them were still in a state of fear. They were still hugging the tree trunk tightly, eyes closed, and shivering.
"Hey!
It's fine now. You can come down now! "
Li Mo shook his head and shouted helplessly at them.
"Ah!
Benefactor, have you already killed that demonic beast? "
Mu Qing was the first to snap out of it. She looked left and right in fright as she asked Li Mo.
"Yes, there's no danger now. You two should get out of here!"
"Many thanks, benefactor, for saving us once again. We have no way to repay your kindness!"
Mu Qing and Shuang'er jumped off the tree and knelt before Li Mo, weeping bitterly.
Li Mo watched their performance and couldn't understand why the leader of Snow Cherry City's guild decided to send them to Misty Woods for a trial.
He even guessed that the two of them had never fought with a demon beast before. Their current level of strength was most likely due to the help of others.
"Alright, get up!
I still have matters to attend to. You better get out of here or you won't be so lucky to run into me again! "
Li Mo was about to leave.
"Benefactor, please wait!"
Shuang'er, who had been silent all this time, called Li Mo.
Li Mo turned to Shuang'er with confusion.
"Is there something else?"
"Benefactor has saved our lives twice. You must be a kindhearted person.
I have a favor to ask of benefactor. "
Li Mo frowned at Shuang'er's words.
"Saving you was as easy as lifting a finger. Moreover, I benefited quite a bit. Don't bring it up again.
As for the rest, I am powerless to help! "
In the face of Li Mo's refusal, Shuang 'er and Mu Qing exchanged a glance and took out a delicate brocade box from their storage belts.
"Benefactor, as long as you help us, we will give you the ice crystal snow ginseng as a reward!"
"What?
Ice crystal snow ginseng? "
Li Mo was shocked. He knew of the ice crystal snow ginseng.
Han Tianyu's spiritual herb tome said it could only be found in the far north of the Heavenly Wind Empire. It was as precious as a heavenly treasure.
And the Mt. Meru Illusion he always wanted to go to was in the far north. Li Mo had a bold guess.
"Shuang'er, Mu Qing, is your Snow Cherry City guild in the far north?"
"Yes!"
The two of them replied in unison.
Li Mo was overjoyed. They both came from the far north and had such a precious heavenly treasure. Perhaps the ice crystal snow ginseng came from the Mt. Meru Illusion.
"Then can you tell me how you got this Ice Crystal Snow Ginseng?"
"This was given to us by my father before we left. He told us to use it for self-defense.
We don't know how he got it, but he said it was very potent. As long as one still breathes, eating it will save one's life! "
"Your father?"
Li Mo's eyes turned to Mu Qing who answered.
"Yes, my father gave it to me.
However, he also said not to take it out unless it was absolutely necessary.
Our companions and teachers are all dead. This is our first time here and we don't know the way back.
As long as benefactor can send us back to Snow Cherry City, we will give you the ice crystal snow ginseng as a reward! "
Li Mo was silent at Mu Qing's words.
He still wanted this Ice Crystal Snow Ginseng very much. If he had it, it would be of great help to the recovery of Liu Yan and Ao Ying's remnant souls.
But he didn't want to use this method to get it from them. It was like taking advantage of their misfortune.
With his character, he wouldn't kill them for it.
"How about this!
I will help you return to your guild, but not now.
I have important matters to attend to. I will take you to the exit of the forest and then follow my directions to Veluriyam City. My guild is there.
When you get there, go find the president and tell him that you're my friend.
I believe he will send someone to escort you back to your guild! "
Hearing Li Mo's words, their tears turned into smiles and they bowed to Li Mo.
"We will never forget benefactor's great kindness. Please accept this ice crystal snow ginseng.
When we return to the guild, we will surely give you a gift to thank you for saving our lives! "
"Ha-ha … take it. I don't need any gift.
But it won't be long before I make a trip to the far north. I won't be able to avoid trouble then! "
"But …"
Mu Qing wanted to say more, but Li Mo cut him short.
"Alright, let's hurry!
I can't guarantee I'll be able to get you out of the Misty Forest safely by nightfall! "
As he spoke, he identified the direction and took the lead in walking towards the exit.
Only Mu Qing and Shuang 'er were left staring at each other.
