The moment the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword pierced the scorpion's body, Li Mo felt a surge of energy entering his body.
Although this energy wasn't huge, it was extremely domineering.
Li Mo had no choice but to sit cross-legged and refine it.
Ao Ying was back on the ground in human form. Seeing Li Mo in such a state, she released her powerful aura to cover everything within a few li.
She was afraid other demons would attack while Li Mo was refining it.
Logically speaking, Li Mo was at the 60th level and refining the scorpion's energy shouldn't take long.
But Li Mo sat there for six hours. Ao Ying's guard couldn't help but worry!
"Master, what's going on?
It was just a Level Seven Demonic Beast. How could he have refined it for such a long time?
Could there have been an accident? "
Ao Ying grew more anxious the longer she waited. She was even ready to interrupt Li Mo's refining.
Li Mo's refining would be a waste, but at least there wouldn't be any accidents that would endanger his life!
Hu …
Li Mo let out a long breath and opened his eyes!
"Master!
You scared me to death! I was going to interrupt you if you didn't wake up! "
Ao Ying was crying tears of joy at Li Mo's awakening, a testament to her feelings for him.
"Silly girl, what could possibly have happened to me?
It's a good thing you didn't do it, or you would've ruined my good fortune! "
"Ah!
What good fortune?
Master, don't tell me you got Giant Tailed Magic Scorpion's inheritance in the process! "
Ao Ying's eyes were wide open as she asked Li Mo.
"Ha-ha … you smart one. I can't hide anything from you!
That's right, I took so long to refine it because I got Giant Tailed Magic Scorpion's inheritance! "
"No way!
Master, your luck is just too heaven-defying!
If this gets out, who knows how many people will die of jealousy! "
"Jealousy won't help. It all comes down to one's character!"
Li Mo was very pleased with himself as he walked to the Giant Tailed Magic Scorpion's corpse.
"Eh!
Master, I find that you don't know how to write the word 'modesty' anymore! "
Ao Ying rolled her eyes at him and went to Li Mo's side.
Li Mo found a few more strengthening stones in the Giant Tail Magic Scorpion's corpse and left with Ao Ying in satisfaction!
Not long after they left, a cloud of black mist suddenly rose around the Giant-tailed Magic Scorpion's corpse.
In just a few breaths' time, the corpse of the Giant-tailed Devil Scorpion disappeared.
…
"Eh!
Master, do you feel anything? "
Li Mo and Ao Ying were already a hundred li away. But Ao Ying's keen senses still picked up a hint of danger, making her uneasy.
"Feel what?
I didn't feel anything!
What happened to you? "
Li Mo was baffled by Ao Ying's sudden change in expression.
"Oh!
It's nothing, maybe I'm just a little nervous. "
Since Li Mo didn't react, Ao Ying wasn't going to tell him and make him worry.
"Ha-ha … you just recovered and must be tired from the last few days.
When we return to the outskirts of the Plains of Death, you can go rest in the Scarlet Space! "
Li Mo patted Ao Ying's shoulder affectionately as he spoke.
"En!
Alright.
But when master isn't here, you mustn't return to the center. It's best to be careful! "
"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."
…
Half a day later, Li Mo and Ao Ying returned to the Ox Brothers' cave.
Since Li Mo planned to stay in the Plains of Death for a while, he made this place his temporary home. It was a little crude, but it was better than living out in the open!
With Ao Ying in the Scarlet Space, Li Mo began his cultivation journey.
Leaving early and returning late, he began the dull life of hunting demon beasts in the outskirts of the Plains of Death.
…
"Cut!"
Whoosh …
A Level Six Gale Wolf didn't even have time to react before a golden-red light streaked across its body, cutting it in half at the waist.
The light faded and Li Mo's figure appeared!
This was Li Mo's inherited skill from the Magic Giant Tail Scorpion. He used it today to kill more than ten sixth level demon beasts, increasing his proficiency in this skill.
"Cut's power is out of this world. Paired with my Shadow Blink, killing sixth level demon beasts will be a piece of cake!"
Needless to say, the resources of the Plains of Death far surpassed Misty Forest's. Li Mo spent half a month cultivating here.
He only went to kill those Level 6 Demonic Beasts and ignored the other Demonic Beasts.
Unless those blind demonic beasts took the initiative to provoke him.
Li Mo's name spread like wildfire in the outskirts of the Plains of Death.
Those who came here to hunt demon beasts knew of a youth who only hunted sixth level demon beasts. There were also many in the 40s who came to hunt fifth level demon beasts.
With Li Mo here, they didn't have to worry about encountering high level demon beasts. It was much safer than other places.
One morning, Li Mo was about to leave the cave in search of demon beasts.
Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps approaching him, and he immediately held the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword in his hand.
Not long after, several figures flashed in from the entrance of the cave.
Their leader was a middle-aged man with Level 57 strength. Behind him were five youths dressed in the same uniform, all of whom were above Level 40.
Li Mo recognized them from their clothes. They were none other than the Deep Ink City's people who came looking for trouble in Misty Forest.
"What business do you have here?"
Li Mo asked calmly.
"Humph!
You're Li Mo?
We are from the Deep Ink City's guild. I am Qin Cheng, their teacher. We are here to find you! "
"Oh?
Find me?
I, Li Mo, have no dealings with your Deep Ink City. May I know why you're looking for me? "
Li Mo didn't panic. He killed those Deep Ink City members in the Misty Forest with extreme caution. It could even be said that no one was the wiser.
There was no way they would know he was the culprit.
"Humph!
You have no dealings with our guild, but don't tell me you've forgotten your grudge with Veluriyam City so quickly!
Our guild leader is an old acquaintance of Guild Leader Qian. Now that he's dead by your hands, how can we sit back and watch? "
"Ha-ha … I see. You're here to avenge Qian Peng.
Since I have the strength to kill Qianpeng, could it be that you few rotten potatoes and stinky bird eggs want to kill me? "
Li Mo watched Qin Cheng with interest, a hint of rumination in his eyes.
