"Roar!"
"Ao!"
"…"
The forest was bustling with activity, with the occasional roar of wild beasts.
But since these wild beasts dared to bare their fangs and claws, it meant they were strong and weren't afraid of being hunted.
Thus, Li Mo's group avoided the area when they heard the roars.
"Rumble …"
But before Li Mo's group could find their prey, the ground beneath them trembled.
"Not good!
Such fluctuations, such power, there's a spiritual beast! "
"How can there be a spiritual beast on the outskirts of the mountain?
Retreat! "
"…"
The beast-skinned men shouted and led Li Mo away.
Li Mo heard from his grandpa that even the weakest spiritual beast was in the 3rd stage of Body Tempering Realm, while the weakest had the strength of 150 kg!
Just think about it, a light slap from the beast would have the strength of 150 kg. How could they fight it?
Li Mo didn't even look back as he followed the strong man. These men hunted here all year round and were familiar with the terrain.
"Roar!"
But at this moment, two beasts as tall as three people were fighting.
The elephant's leg blocked Li Mo's path like a pillar holding up the sky.
It made Li Mo and the rest feel a sense of unreachable superiority.
"Wu!"
The two elephants raised their heads and roared, their thick trunks swinging in all directions.
Wherever the trunks went, sand and stones flew.
Li Mo's group was surrounded by more than just the two spiritual beasts fighting.
There were also quite a few spirit beasts fighting in other places.
"We can't stay together!
Staying together is too big of a target. One stomp and we'll all be wiped out. "
Li Mo gritted his teeth as he looked around.
"Scatter and run!"
"Got it!"
The men didn't even think about it, finding Li Mo's words reasonable. They scattered and ran.
Li Mo's body was weak, but Li Mo's battle experience was carved into his bones.
Thus, in this forest full of battles, Li Mo relied on his sense of danger to dart left and right.
But after half a day, Li Mo raised his head and his figure changed.
There were too many spirit beasts on the outskirts of the mountain today!
Why did these spirit beasts, which usually lived deep in the mountains, suddenly become so violent?
Looking out, there were so many spirit beasts fighting with no regard for their lives.
Li Mo was certain he wouldn't be able to get out if he kept running.
Perhaps the shockwaves from the battle could kill him.
Looking back, there were still spirit beasts running out from the depths of the mountain.
However, for some reason, these spirit beasts had no intention of fighting in the depths of the mountain.
One by one, the spirit beasts ran out from the depths of the mountain and fought on the outskirts of the mountain.
Li Mo stopped to think. Comparing the two, the mountain was now the safest place.
Li Mo couldn't help but grin as he watched the spiritual beasts killing each other.
"You guys go ahead and kill. I'll go hide for a while. When I come out, I might even be able to get some meat!"
Saying this, Li Mo ran into the depths of the mountain.
Roar!
Swish! Swish!
"…"
Roaring spirit beasts brushed past Li Mo. But these spirit beasts, who were usually unfriendly to humans, didn't seem to have any intention of attacking Li Mo.
They seemed to be frightened and ran out. When they ran to the outskirts of the mountain, they seemed to have gone mad and started killing each other.
So Li Mo made it to the depths of the forest without any mishaps.
The depths of the mountain were silent, with all the spirit beasts fighting outside.
Li Mo stopped and leaned on a tree to catch his breath.
"I'm too tired. My body can't take it anymore. Running for a while and I'm already so tired."
Li Mo wiped his sweat and looked around. There was a 'red line' at his feet.
This red line seemed to be a blood vessel, and what flowed through it seemed to be scarlet blood.
Li Mo's expression changed.
Then Li Mo looked around and found that in this mountain, every few meters, there was a red line like a blood vessel.
And they all seemed to converge at the same place.
"Don't tell me … the blood of the spirit beasts fighting outside flows in here!"
Li Mo looked at the blood flowing in the red line and the battle outside.
Li Mo's eyes shined. His intuition told him this was the case.
"What kind of rare treasure has appeared?
God, I don't need a treasure, just a breathing method will do! "
Li Mo excitedly walked in the direction indicated by the red line.
Unknowingly, Li Mo passed through the forest and arrived before a cave.
As far as the eye could see, the interior of the cave was pitch-black, and the ground below the cave entrance was lined with red lines that looked like fresh blood.
Li Mo picked up a branch and lit it on fire, then cautiously entered the cave.
The cave was long, with many twists and turns.
Li Mo followed the red line's direction without stopping.
Several times, the branch in Li Mo's hand burned to ashes.
But luckily, there were plenty of branches in this cave.
So Li Mo switched branches a few times.
In the end, Li Mo arrived at a spacious place. This must be the center of the cave.
Li Mo saw a stone altar about half the height of a person. Around it were many red lines, from which a steady flow of blood flowed into the stone altar.
Floating on top of the stone altar was a blue-black egg the size of a goose egg.
Li Mo didn't know why, but when he saw the egg's blue and black glow, he felt sleepy.
But after crossing worlds a few times, Li Mo's soul power was far beyond the average man's. So he bit his tongue and the sleepiness faded.
Li Mo was now certain that the sudden massacre of spirit beasts was caused by this blue and black egg.
This egg needed the blood of spirit beasts to nourish itself. Though he didn't know what kind of egg it was, or what its purpose was, Li Mo was certain it was a murderous existence.
But Li Mo was certain this egg was a murderous existence. Why else would it kill so many spiritual beasts to help it?
He thought of how they were living here. If this egg did what it wanted …
Would it kill all the living beings around the mountain?
Even Li Mo couldn't help but shudder at his own conjecture. Li Mo stepped forward and took the egg from the altar.
"Buzz!"
The moment the egg left the stone altar, Li Mo's hands trembled with anger.
But Li Mo held the egg with both hands and held it in front of him. He exerted strength to steady his hands. Li Mo said.
"I might not have been able to beat you when you came out, but you're still an egg. Do you think I can't beat you?"
