"Well … fine, it's like this.
My mentor took us on a training trip and was injured by a Blood Demon Spider in order to protect us.
Although the mentor killed the Blood Demon Spider in the end, he was poisoned.
Chief searched for famous doctors in the empire and found a way to control it, but not a cure.
Later, when the president flipped through an ancient book, he found a way to cure the Blood Demon Spider's venom. It was said that the cave of the Blood Demon Spider would grow a spiritual herb called the Nine Turns Clear Heart Grass. It was the bane of the Blood Demon Spider's venom.
So the three of us came here to try our luck! "
"Oh?
Since your chief knows the cure, why didn't he come himself or send other mentors?
I'm not trying to pour cold water on you, but the three of you will have a hard time getting the Nine Revolutions Heart Grass! "
Hearing the name Blood Demon Spider, Li Mo recalled Han Tianyu's book.
This demon beast was at the peak of the sixth level, but it had the potential to evolve to the seventh level or even higher.
Its main attack was its venom, the deadliest of all.
But the natural world had its own rules. All things had a natural counter. Blood Demon Spider was poisonous, but its venom came from Zhou You's Nine Revolutions Heart Grass juice.
And it was the antidote to Blood Demon Spider's venom.
Though Nine Revolutions Heart Grass wasn't as rare as those rare heavenly treasures, wherever it grew, there would always be one or more Blood Demon Spiders guarding it.
"Sigh!
You might laugh at me, but our chief was heavily injured a year ago in a fight with an enemy. He still hasn't recovered and his power is less than half of what it used to be.
And the other mentors in our guild have never gotten along with our mentor. Who would take the risk to help him?
The three of us couldn't bear to see our mentor suffering day in and day out.
That is why we came to the edge of the Plains of Death to find some strong people to go with us to find the Nine Revolutions Heart Grass! "
Zhou You's words tickled Li Mo's heart.
"Zhou You, you're so hungry that you can't be choosy!
Even if you want to save your mentor, you can't just go around looking for people!
Aren't you afraid Yin Feng will get greedy after you find the Nine Revolutions Heart Grass? "
"I know, but I don't have any other choice.
The three of us have already stayed in this border area for several days. Apart from him, I haven't met anyone stronger than him.
For the sake of our mentor, I am willing to take a gamble!
If we lose the bet and he gets greedy and kills us, we'll accept it. After all, I've already done my best. I've not let down my mentor! "
Zhou You's words touched Li Mo's heart. He even had the thought of helping the three. After all, people who knew how to repay kindness were few and far between.
"Does Yin Feng know about this?"
"I don't know. I was going to tell you guys after we entered the outer region of the Plains of Death. I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Zhou You said in embarrassment.
"Hehe … Alright!
You've even schemed against me.
If it wasn't for Yin Feng's bravery and ruthlessness, wouldn't the two of us have been fooled by you? "
Li Mo scolded in jest.
"I … I don't have a choice. If I were here, I would have explained it to you.
Which one of you will come with us? "
"Alright, I'll remember the fact that you schemed against me. We'll talk about it later.
Let's get down to business. Do you know where the Nine Revolutions Heart Calming Grass is? "
Zhou You's eyes went wide at Li Mo.
"Li Mo, y-you mean to help us?"
"Cut the crap. I'm helping you for your filial piety.
Demon Blood Spiders are nocturnal. If you know where the Nine Revolutions Heart Calming Grass is, we'll set off now. Demon Blood Spiders are the most tired in the morning and the best chance of stealing it! "
"T-that's great!
I know a place in the Plains of Death where the Nine Revolutions Heart Calming Grass grows. Take a look … "
Zhou You did his best to control his excitement and took out a tattered sheepskin map from his storage belt.
It was a map of the Plains of Death with an eye-catching red mark. Demon Blood Cave!
"Where did you find such an ancient thing?
Is this marked location accurate? "
Li Mo took the map and asked Zhou You after looking it over.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely accurate.
I bought it from the auction house. They definitely won't sell fakes there! "
Li Mo was silent at Zhou You's words, his eyes locked on the map with a frown!
The location marked with the Blood Demon Cave was extremely close to the center of the Plains of Death.
"Li Mo, what's wrong?
Is it because the Demon Blood Cave is too close to the center of the Plains of Death and you're not confident? "
Zhou You saw Li Mo's frown and knew the reason behind it.
This map was his after all. He had seen it countless times.
"That's right, according to the location of the Blood Demon Cave on the map.
Let's not talk about running into other demon beasts. The Demon Blood Spider is at least in the seventh level. And if our luck is bad, it might not even be just one.
Do you think we can get the Nine Revolutions Heart Calming Grass? "
Hearing Li Mo's words, Zhou You's last glimmer of hope withered like a frosted eggplant.
"T-then what do we do?!
Our master's Demon Blood Spider's venom is under control, but it's acting up more and more frequently.
If we don't get the spiritual herb, he won't last much longer! "
At this point, Zhou You, a big man, choked with sobs. This was enough to show his affection for his teacher.
"Forget it, I'll think of something.
But you three must listen to me! "
"Ah!
Really?
Li Mo, do you really have a way to help us?
Don't worry, we'll do anything.
Even if we have to give our lives to you! "
Li Mo's words rekindled Zhou You's hope. He was as excited as a child seeing candy.
But Li Mo wasn't helping him just for his own sake.
His own was a big reason. After all, there was a high chance of a seventh level Demon Blood Spider.
Li Mo's level had been hovering around the 60th level for so long. He needed to kill a high level demon to reach the 61st level. And if he was lucky, he might even get a Strengthening Stone. That was what he needed the most right now.
"Why would I want your life?
After entering the periphery of the Plains of Death, wait for me there.
I will go alone. If you three come with me, I won't be able to protect you.
I'll help you get your revenge!
Other than the Nine Revolutions Heart Calming Grass, everything else is mine. What do you say? "
"Ah!
I-it's that simple? "
Zhou You was shocked, unable to believe his ears.
"Nonsense, what else do you have that I'm interested in?
The reason why I'm helping you is because I like your character, and killing the Blood Demon Spider will increase my energy to a certain extent.
This is a matter of helping each other, so don't feel guilty!
Go wake them up and we'll set out.
Otherwise, if you delay for another day, your teacher will be in even more danger! "
Li Mo didn't wait for Zhou You's reply as he continued looking at the sheepskin map.
