Li Mo was unconscious by the swamp for the whole night.
Luckily, Wu Li's attack sent Li Mo flying out of the swamp. If not, Li Mo would've been swallowed whole by the swamp even if he didn't die.
"Hyah!
Hyah! "
The sound of whips being whipped could be heard as dozens of experts rushed towards the swamp on horses.
Their leader was a sturdy middle-aged man with a solemn face.
This man's aura was that of a peak Spirit Guide Stage cultivator!
Behind the middle-aged man was a fat and thin old man. Both of them were at the late stage of the Spirit Drawing Realm.
In the Southern Border Prefecture, other than the Five Poisons Tribe, there were only a dozen tribes under the Five Poisons Tribe that could bring out such a lineup.
After a group of people arrived, they stopped. Behind the middle-aged leader was a young girl with a ponytail. She looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
The girl was riding a snow-white horse. Looking at the girl's figure and appearance, they were both top-notch.
"Father, there's someone over there."
The girl spoke to the middle-aged man, who had long since noticed the unconscious Li Mo.
And with his cultivation, he could see through Li Mo's cultivation at a glance.
The middle-aged man squinted and spoke cautiously.
"A late Spirit Guide Stage cultivator at such a young age?
Truly rare. Uncle, second uncle, go take a look. Be careful. "
As the middle-aged man's voice fell, the fat and skinny old men behind him cupped their fists and said.
"Yes!
Tribe leader. "
The two old men jumped off their horses and cautiously went to Li Mo.
The fallen Li Mo didn't move at all. The two old men checked Li Mo's pulse.
They also saw that Li Mo's abdomen had stopped bleeding, but it was still bleeding.
The skinny old man immediately stood up and said.
"Tribe leader, he's in a coma."
"Uncle, feed him some water. Once we're done with today's business, we'll bring him back to the tribe and see if we can save him."
The middle-aged man said faintly. However, one could tell from the middle-aged man's eyes that he was appreciating talent.
At this age, he was already at the late stage of the Spirit Drawing Realm. This kind of talent could only appear in the Five Poison Tribe.
Thus, if the middle-aged man could recruit Li Mo, it would be a blessing for his tribe.
The skinny old man nodded and took out a sheepskin water bag. After feeding Li Mo a few mouthfuls, he put Li Mo on a tribesman's horse.
The girl from before came to Li Mo's side and helped him bandage his wound.
With Li Mo's matter done, the middle-aged man looked at the swamp.
The center's pupils constricted as a hint of grief appeared in his eyes.
"Eldest Uncle, was Third Uncle swallowed by this beast in the water that day?"
"Yes!
That day, this beast sneak attacked Third Brother. Third Brother was at the middle stage of the Spirit Drawing Realm, so he was killed by this beast with one strike!
I fought with that beast for more than ten rounds, but I was still no match for him. I even suffered some injuries and could only flee in defeat … "
At the mention of what happened that day, the gaunt man was filled with deep hatred.
Among this hatred was for the beast, but also for his own incompetence.
"Eldest Uncle, there's no need to be like this. Even if you fought with that beast that day and took back Third Uncle's body, Third Uncle will never come back …"
The middle-aged man jumped off his horse and waved to the tribesmen behind him.
"Prepare the bows and arrows!
That beast is at the late stage of the Spirit Drawing Realm. Be careful when dealing with it! "
"Yes!
Leader! "
In an instant, dozens of guards dismounted from their horses.
A group of guards surrounded the puddle of water and drew their bows and arrows. The tips of the arrows, which were made of fine iron, gleamed with a sharp, cold light.
"Fire!"
The man shouted and gestured.
Dozens of arrows fell at the same time, shooting into the water surface with a clatter.
But the murky water was still calm. The arrows were like stones sinking into the sea, never to be heard from again.
"What happened?
Did that beast leave? "
The fat old man asked the skinny old man.
"That beast must have lived here for many years. How could it leave just like that?"
The skinny man gritted his teeth and said. The middle-aged man beside him also nodded.
The middle-aged man crossed the swamp and approached the dried up lake.
"Watch out, daddy!"
The young girl bandaging Li Mo's wound saw the middle-aged man's movements and shouted in worry.
Even the fat and thin old men at the Spirit Drawing Realm ran over and said, "Don't worry.
"Leader, be careful!"
"Eldest uncle, second uncle, don't worry. I will be careful and won't give that beast a chance to sneak attack.
And eldest uncle said that beast is at the late stage of the Spirit Drawing Realm. No matter how strong a spiritual beast's body is, I am at the peak of the Spirit Drawing Realm. That beast shouldn't be able to hurt me … "
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said to his clansmen. Then, he stepped into the water.
The middle-aged man was tall and sturdy. The water in the dried up lake only reached his thighs.
The man walked very slowly in the lake, searching carefully in the water.
It didn't take long for the man to feel something. He grabbed it and pulled it to the surface. It was the spotted python Li Mo killed yesterday.
"Watch out!
It's that beast! "
The skinny old man's expression changed when he saw the enormous Spotted Python, and he shouted loudly.
The two of them also rushed into the water. However, the middle-aged man in the water didn't move at all. The man shook his head and said,
"Dead …"
"Dead!"
"Who killed it?"
The two old men asked after hearing the middle-aged man's words.
"I don't know."
The middle-aged man shook his head and brought the python's corpse to the shore.
"Damn it!
This beast digested Third Uncle, but I didn't find Third Uncle's corpse in his stomach … "
"Third brother!
I'm sorry! "
The gaunt old man said in grief. He took out an axe from his storage pouch and ruthlessly chopped at the python's body.
"I'll cut you down, you beast!
Beast!
Beast … "
No one had any intention of stopping the out-of-control old man.
They all knew the old man and third brother's relationship, so they let him vent.
"Eldest uncle, let's go. This is the border between the Taurus Tribe and the Five Poisons Tribe.
If we stay here too long, we'll incur the displeasure of the Five Poisons Tribe's lords … "
The middle-aged man watched the gaunt old man chop the spotted python for a while and pulled him back.
