Chapter 465 465. You look better with a smile

After killing the mutant giant lion, Mo Hao's sense of crisis did not fade away at all, but became even stronger.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew from behind, and a mutant giant lion suddenly appeared behind Xiyue again, with its sharp claws trying to tear Xiyue's body apart.

This newly emerged mutated giant lion is of the same type as the one killed by Mo Hao. Both have mutated to have the talent of stealth, and are even stronger than the [General] level mutated giant lion.

[Handsome] level!

Converted to human level, this is a mutated giant thunder lion with the strength of [Heavenly Gate].

The mutant giant lion that led the team just now was just a bait, this one is the real one!
Xiyue didn't have time to turn around, but the deadly threat coming from behind her told her something: there was an enemy behind her that she absolutely could not defeat and was attacking her.

However, the expected tearing pain did not come, but I felt a warm liquid with the sweet smell of rust rushing onto my back.

It’s Mo Hao!
Before the mutant giant lion tore Xiyue to pieces, he came behind Xiyue at a speed almost like teleportation and blocked the giant claws that could split mountains and break peaks with ease.

However, the [Heavenly Gate] level attack was so powerful, not to mention that the wild beast's body was even stronger than that of humans. The violent bombardment of the mutant giant lion was so strong that even Mo Hao, with his strong body, could not help but spit out scarlet blood from his mouth.

pain!
The nearly sneak attack first shattered the protective strength of [Big Clumsy Hand] around Mo Hao's body, and then poured into his body with undiminished force, causing Mo Hao's internal organs to explode.

The blood that Mo Hao spat out was not only the blood in his body, but also his internal organs that were beaten into juice.

Perhaps it didn't expect that there would be a human who could withstand its sneak attack, the mutant lion was stunned for a moment, but then decisively swung out its second claw.

Since one strike didn't kill him, just try again.

The intense pain forced Mo Hao to push his strength to the peak. He put one arm around Xiyue's waist, clenched his right fist, turned around and attacked the mutant giant lion.

Gra!

The collision between fist and claw caused a clear cracking sound, and an invisible but sharp force invaded silently, destroying Mo Hao's body at the cellular level like a sharp blade.

That was the [Rule Erosion] unique to the [Tianguan] level. Mo Hao acted decisively, and his right fist stirred up endless thunder, transforming it into a spear composed of thunder and sunlight.

In front of the [Sunshine Gun], even the mutant giant lion couldn't help but reveal a nervous expression like a human.

It could feel that this force had the power to hurt it or even kill it.

Then, the [Sunshine Spear] and Mo Hao's right arm exploded at the same time, bringing endless light and heat, even shining with the sun in the sky, as if a brand new sun was born from the earth.

Lightning flashed in all directions, and the dazzling light blocked everyone's vision.

After the light faded, the mutant giant lion's right claw was completely carbonized, and traces of lightning spread towards its body.

Without hesitation, the mutant giant lion bit off its right claw. The completely carbonized right claw lost its vitality, and also lost the strong hardness and toughness of the [Tianguan] level.

After the right claw was torn off, granulation tissue was constantly growing at the wound, but it was shattered by the electric light that appeared from time to time.

It will take at least three sunrises and sunsets for the arm to fully recover.

A trace of pain flashed across the eyes of the mutant giant lion. The miracle possessed by the God-King Gwyn was such that even the ancient dragons dared not tamper with it lightly.

Of course, the gap between Mo Hao and the God-King Gwyn at this time is much greater than the gap between the mutated giant lion and the ancient dragon.

Otherwise, the mutant giant lion would not have only one claw broken.

But the losses of the wild beasts were not just that.

Forty of the hundreds of giant thunder lions died, all with the same cause of death: they were pierced through the vitals by the lightning from the [Sunshine Spear] when it erupted. The power of the [Sunshine Spear] gave the elemental giant thunder lions a fatal weakness again, and even the few that survived were listless and had serious injuries.

All the poisonous fire vultures died, not a single one was left alive. Their bodies were much weaker than those of the Thunder Lions. The Thunder Lions suffered 40% casualties, not to mention these companion species.

Looking at the losses in the tribe, the mutant giant lion, who was the leader, showed uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

That human cannot be allowed to survive, otherwise the birth of the [Beast King] will inevitably be hindered.

"Roar!!!"

With a lion's roar, the mutant giant lion had no intention of taking the remaining lions back, but issued a search order.

We must find that weird human and kill him!

For this reason, he would not hesitate even if all the tribesmen leading the team died.

The mutated giant lion, which already possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans and even possessed a sense of [organization] and [class], made a decision immediately.

Soon, the remaining Thunder Lions turned into lightning and spread out in all directions to search.

……

In a cave, Mo Hao carefully mobilized the deathly aura and resentment emitted by the many skeletons in the cave, turning it into an invisible barrier to cover up the place.

This was originally the residence of a giant earth bear, but now the owner of this place has obviously changed.

After a moment, Mo Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his only remaining left hand. While mobilizing the Yin and Death Qi to cover up his whereabouts, he also had to be careful not to disturb the Earth Bear's aura. Using the aura of the overlord of this area to avoid being searched was not an easy task for Mo Hao.

He was not good at this kind of operation and almost made mistakes and was exposed several times.

"Okay, the evil spirits and corpse qi in this place have covered up our presence, so we won't be found for a while."

Xiyue looked at Mo Hao worriedly, biting her lips lightly, "Your hand..."

Mo Hao's right hand was broken at the root at this time, and every time he tried to reassemble his arm, an invisible blade force would crush his strength.

"There's nothing wrong with my hand. It's just that the mutant lion's power has hindered its recovery."

Xiyue lowered her head slightly, "You could have run away at that time, but I got you into trouble."

Xiyue knew very well that with Mo Hao's strength, even if he faced a [Handsome] level mutant lion, he would have no problem running away even if he couldn't defeat it.

If he hadn't taken the mutant lion's sneak attack in order to protect himself.

The mutant lion also saw that Mo Hao was protecting Xiyue, so it targeted her without hesitation.

As the youngest and strongest student council president in Infinite City, Xiyue has always played the role of a protector and a strong person. This time, she became Mo Hao's weakness and even caused him to be seriously injured, which made her feel frustrated and deeply guilty.

"Don't act like I'm going to die. I was planning to run, but my body just moves that way."

"It doesn't matter what that thing on your right hand is. You are much more important than an arm."

Mo Hao looked at Xiyue's face and suddenly laughed. He stretched out his left index finger and middle finger and gently lifted the corner of the girl's mouth. "You look better when you smile."
