Li Mo jumped on the buffalo's back and picked up the spear he tossed a while ago.
He wrapped the spear in spiritual qi and thrust it at the immobile buffalo's head.
"Pff!"
Crimson blood spurted ten meters high. The water buffalo was on its last breath from Li Mo's torment, but now it was at death's door.
But now, this buffalo was tormented by Li Mo to the point where it didn't even have half a breath left.
"Moo!"
The buffalo fighting Mo Sang was the first to notice its comrade's death. Its eyes turned red from anger as it roared at the sky.
But as the head of a spiritual beast herd, it wasn't just strong, it wasn't lacking in intelligence.
So the buffalo knew the young human before it could kill a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spiritual beast.
If he joined the fray, it would be like a wolf entering a tiger's den.
Those 3rd and 4th stage Body Tempering Stage buffaloes weren't even a match for him.
It might be able to suppress Mo Sang, but if this young man joined the fray, it would lose without a doubt.
So the buffalo wasted no time and roared again, issuing an order to its herd.
This order was clearly a retreat order. The herd of buffaloes followed the buffalo in a certain direction.
Li Mo couldn't help but sigh as he watched the buffalo retreat. His body was so weak that he had to lean on the spear to stay where he was.
The buffalo was right, but with its limited intelligence, it forgot Li Mo's cultivation was only at the 6th stage of the Body Tempering Stage.
Li Mo could kill a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spiritual beast all because of his profound bloodline power and cultivation method, as well as his nimble body.
But killing the spiritual beast drained Li Mo's spiritual qi, leaving him no room for another battle.
But Li Mo hid it well, not daring to show his weakness. The less intelligent buffalo didn't even think about it.
"Ha-ha-ha, old sport Li Mo!
You're this! "
The buffalo herd retreated and everyone gathered around Li Mo.
Mose stuck a finger in Li Mo's direction.
A 6th stage Body Tempering Stage could kill a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spiritual beast. Li Mo's performance today shocked Mo Sang.
But Mose didn't think Li Mo was stronger than him.
After all, Mose was fighting the strongest of the buffalo herd. In Mose's mind, if he were to fight Li Mo's buffalo, he would win.
The other clansmen looked at Li Mo with adoration. Those who schemed against Li Mo to die for them had flickering eyes, afraid Li Mo would find trouble with them.
The tribe respected the strong. With Li Mo's display today, his position in the tribe would be higher than theirs.
So if Li Mo came looking for trouble, these people wouldn't have a good time in the tribe.
"What are the casualties this time?"
Mose asked the clansmen beside him. One of the clansmen did some calculations and said in a low voice.
"Eleven brothers died …"
Even Mo Sang and Li Mo lowered their heads.
They were all brothers who trained together, hunted together, ate together, and slept together.
With so many people dying at once, no one would feel good about it.
"Bring our prey and the corpses of our brothers back to the tribe!"
Mose clenched his teeth and took the lead in picking up the corpses.
Mose's broad shoulders carried a clansman's corpse on each of his shoulders and two prey in each of his hands as he walked out.
A group of people followed suit and carried the corpses of their clansmen and their prey out of the cave.
When they reached the grassland's outskirts, the clansmen below the 5th stage of Body Tempering Stage were waiting.
They were very careful this time. Since the grassland's outskirts were less dangerous, they didn't suffer any casualties.
But when they saw the corpses on Mose's shoulders, their faces changed and they asked in shock.
"What's going on?"
"…"
Along the way, Mose was in low spirits and didn't want to say much. He only said, "Return to tribe" and went back to the tribe.
Back at the tribe, they handed over the prey and found the dead clansmen's parents, wives, and children.
Beside a quiet lake outside the tribe, everyone knelt down around a deep pit that had just been dug.
The man's face was solemn.
The woman's face was covered in tears. She looked at one of the eleven corpses in the pit and swallowed her bitterness.
"You are the warriors of the Shadow Leopard Tribe!
The Shadow Leopard Tribe will not forget you! "
Mose raised a bowl of wine and drank.
"To send off the warriors!"
Then everyone poured the wine in their hands on the ground. They drank with the clansmen in the pit.
It was just like yesterday when they sat shoulder to shoulder in front of the fire and drank the wine in their bowls.
Then they filled their bowls with wine, and how could they not, when their best friends, who had been wallowing in the earth, had drunk?
This time, Li Mo also drank the wine in one gulp.
Looking at Ba Tu's corpse in the pit and recalling that simple and honest smile, Li Mo was speechless …
Two teams encountered a migration of spiritual beasts and suffered heavy casualties.
Thus, the tribe elders decided that the two hunting teams wouldn't go out to hunt for a month.
In any case, the tribe would plant some crops and living off them for a few months wasn't out of the question.
The tribe also restocked the two hunting teams, increasing their numbers to two hundred.
Some were hand-picked guards, while others were in the second or third stage of the Body Tempering Stage.
There was nothing to say about the guards.
However, the cultivation of the fourteen to fifteen-year-old children was too weak, so Mose wanted to use this month to train them well.
This benefited Li Mo and the other elders. Because Mose had to train the children, his supervision over them was slack.
Soon, the end of the month arrived.
But this time, the elders gave the hunting teams more Body Tempering Liquid than usual. One reason was because there were more people in the hunting teams.
Secondly, the two big hunting teams had suffered heavy losses, and many of the surviving clansmen were also wounded. Therefore, the extra Body Refining Liquid was the tribe's reward for the members of the hunting teams.
As usual, Mose distributed the Body Tempering Liquid to everyone. This time, everyone got a bowl full of Body Tempering Liquid, twice as much as usual. Everyone drank happily.
But when it came to Li Mo, Mose gave him two bowls of Body Tempering Liquid.
The spectators were envious, but few were jealous.
After all, Li Mo, at the 6th stage of the Body Tempering Stage, stopped a 9th stage spiritual beast and even killed it.
It was said that the elders liked the meat of a 9th stage Body Tempering Stage spiritual beast very much, so it was normal to give Li Mo a bigger reward.
And now that Li Mo was everyone's savior, everyone's attitude towards him improved greatly.
