The road is vague

Chapter 71: Mutated Demon Wolf King

"Oh no, we're almost late for the trade fair!"

Li Mo suddenly reacted.

Since this adventure in the mausoleum, his cultivation has improved at an astonishing rate over the past month.

In this environment that seemed to be filled with spiritual energy, he circulated the Great Circulation over and over again, almost forgetting everything outside. His gains were enormous. He was able to advance from the early stage of the eleventh level of Qi training to the twelfth level of Qi training, which was only one step away from perfection.

If this were done outside, Li Mo estimated that it would take him at least three or four years to achieve such an effect.

This is despite his exceptional talent.

If it were a disciple with average qualifications, it would not be uncommon for him to practice hard for more than ten or twenty years without any luck with elixirs. Many people even save up the resources they have for practice and place their hopes on the next generation when there is no hope of achieving the great path.

Li Mo didn't care about the great joy brought by the improvement of his cultivation.

He quickly packed up his things, opened the stone door of the underground palace, and walked out quickly. From now on, he had to hurry on his way.

However, as he walked in the cave, he discovered something was wrong.

A dangerous intuition came over me.

Li Mo suddenly stopped and summoned the Thunder Sword to illuminate the darkness in the distance. He took a breath and saw pairs of dark green eyes in the cave in front of him looking at Li Mo.

A group of black-fur wolves suddenly appeared here!

Each of these demon wolves is huge in size, with a body length similar to that of an adult, and their fur is shiny black. They are definitely not ordinary wild wolves, but rather demon wolves that have become spirits. For some unknown reason, they suddenly came here and occupied the cave.

"Were those gold diggers killed by them?"

Li Mo was shocked.

Then he remembered that he had been practicing in the underground palace for more than a month, and thus had dissipated a large amount of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

"Could it be that they were attracted by spiritual energy?"

The two sides were about fifteen feet apart, and a subtle confrontation formed.

Li Mo could hear the panting and growling of these demon wolves. The Thunder Sword circled in the air and returned to Li Mo, ready for battle.

Sudden.

A demonic wolf that was obviously larger in size walked out of the wolf pack. It was filled with an oppressive aura. It had grown three wolf heads and exuded a strange demonic aura. It stared at Li Mo and growled.

Li Mo quietly took out the green steel shield and held his breath.

"This... actually has three heads, the mutant demon wolf king!"

There are more than a dozen demon wolves here, so the appearance of a demon wolf king is not surprising.

Li Mo was mentally prepared for this.

But he never expected that this would actually be a mutated demon wolf king. What a pity. If this demon wolf had been discovered when it was young and adopted and tamed, it would have been a good spiritual beast. Even if its potential could not be compared with Ye Fuhu's Biao King, it should not be too bad. With a little training in the future, it might be able to possess the strength comparable to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"But it's also good to use it as a corpse puppet for the Misty Transformation Technique!"

As Li Mo was thinking this, the three wolf heads of the Demon Wolf King, which was twenty feet away, roared loudly at the same time.

The surrounding wolf pack instantly became excited!
They climbed the walls and rushed towards Li Mo, and a battle was about to break out.

Li Mo silently chanted a spell, and with a loud bang, thunder roared, and he activated the technique of summoning Thunder Slaves. He actually summoned four Thunder Slaves in the form of hounds in one breath, and pounced on these demon wolves.

Immediately afterwards, the humanoid puppet next to it stretched out its arm and emitted a beam of white light.

Even Li Mo himself was secretly surprised at his current strength, being able to summon so many thunder slaves in one breath.

But now is not the time for him to think too much.

The mutant demon wolf king also pounced towards him with the wolf pack, so he hurriedly cast a spell and launched the Thunder Sword to chop at it.

But the wolf king suddenly stretched out his claws and slapped the air hard.

The wolf claw collided with the Thunder Sword, and a sharp metal friction sound was heard. Then the Thunder Sword, a mid-grade magic weapon, was actually knocked away by its claw.

Fortunately, the three-headed demon wolf king was not so relaxed. After being blocked by the Thunder Sword, he had to stop and retreat for a distance.

"This guy must have reached the twelfth level of Qi training!"

Li Mo's eyelids twitched wildly.

I really don't know whether to say that Jiujiang Leilong, Wang Ying, and Wen Dao Ren are lucky, or that I am too unlucky. These wolf packs mostly lived in the high forests before.

At this time.

The left and right heads of the mutant demon wolf king let out a wolf howl at the same time, and then fired two wind blades at Li Mo.

The green light was incredibly fast, but was blocked by Li Mo's green steel shield.

It is worthy of being the top-grade magic weapon that Lu Qi used when he was young. Judging from the defensive power of this green steel shield, it is definitely a top-grade magic weapon.

Seeing this, Li Mo quickly changed his battle strategy.

He decided to deal with the low-level demon wolves first, and then focus on dealing with the mutant demon wolf king.

After preliminary observation, he concluded that these low-level demon wolves were generally only at the third or fourth level of Qi training and had not even mastered basic spells. A few of them, four or five, had reached the sixth or seventh level of Qi training and were able to cast two different types of spells: fireball and wind blade.

Then the sword flashed, and the Thunder Sword shot towards the other demon wolves.

Compared with the powerful wolf king, ordinary demon wolves were much more vulnerable in front of the Thunder Sword. Li Mo killed two of them in a short moment.

At this time.

The Demon Wolf King attacked Li Mo again.

Li Mo used the Shunlei Step to avoid the wolf's attack, and then used his exquisite martial arts skills to increase the distance between them and continued to attack and kill other demon wolves.

After a few rounds of fighting, the mutant wolf king was extremely angry.

After another fruitless pursuit, it suddenly stopped. At this time, the wolf head in the middle suddenly roared and condensed into a ball of black magic fire.

Li Mo noticed something and his face changed.

The black devil fire was incredibly fast and shot towards him.

Li Mo had no time to dodge and used the green steel shield to resist again, but he heard a "bang" and the green steel shield was blown away with the explosion. The black magic fire attached to the green steel shield and continued to burn.

"What kind of spell is this!"

Li Mo was shocked by the power of the black magic fire.

If this green steel shield was not a top-grade magic weapon, a gift from his master himself, and if it were not for an ordinary mid-grade defensive magic weapon, or even a top-grade defensive magic weapon, which could not withstand the fire, he might have suffered serious damage.

But even so.

As the black flames continued to burn, the Blue Steel Shield became uncontrollable by Li Mo and could no longer fly. It seemed that in a moment, the Blue Steel Shield's spiritual power would be damaged. Li Mo naturally did not want to see this happen. He immediately let out a low cry and cast a spell, sending pure magic power to the Blue Steel Shield.

After a flash of green light, Li Mo finally expelled the black magic fire from above.

But it was just this short delay that allowed the Demon Wolf King to pounce again and slam the green steel shield in front of Li Mo. Even though Li Mo's physique was much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator, he still flew back a short distance and took a few steps back before he could barely stop.

At this time.

The Thunder Sword slashed down from behind the Demon Wolf King.

Although the mutant demon wolf king reacted, he was still injured by the Thunder Sword.

But when Li Mo saw that the Thunder Sword had only scratched the surface fur of the mutant demon wolf king, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

A wind blade and a fireball attacked from different angles.

Li Mo continued to use the Shun Lei Step to avoid it. He jumped up and landed on a two-meter-high stone wall.

"I can only kill the low-level wolf demon first, and then try to kill this beast with the Mysterious Thunder Lock and Palm Thunder!"

Li Mo was a little helpless.

The most powerful means of damage he now possesses is actually the low-level spell Palm Thunder. Most of his other spells and magic weapons are used to deal with human monks. When facing the thick-skinned and tough monsters, he feels quite powerless.

Fortunately, there is the Yin-attributed Xuan Lei Lock spell that can restrict the opponent's actions.

However, this basic advanced spell can only be used in a one-on-one situation.

……

After a stick of incense.

The only sound left in the cave was Li Mo's low breathing.

He held the Thunder Sword and the Green Steel Shield, resting with his back against the stone wall. The continuous high-intensity battles had left him completely depleted of mana and exhausted.

After Li Mo killed all the low-level demon wolves, the mutant demon wolf king activated the Xuan Lei Lock as planned, restricting its movements and then beheaded.

The Mysterious Thunder Lock, a Yin-attributed thunder technique, shone between Li Mo and the demon wolf, like a cursed spiritual thread that could not be cut off.

Then Li Mo launched palm thunder spells continuously.

Although Palm Thunder was only a low-level spell, it possessed quite amazing destructive power. With Li Mo's close attack, he successfully broke through the Demon Wolf King's strong defense, and finally pierced the wound with the Thunder Sword, finally killing it.

It’s a pity to waste this wolf skin.

Because of the large number of wounds caused during the battle, this wolf skin can no longer be reused. Otherwise, it would be worth a lot of spirit stones as a material for refining weapons.

After resting for a while.

Li Mo recovered a little, and he first took a look at the humanoid puppet.

During the fierce battle just now, the humanoid puppet suffered considerable damage and needs to be repaired after returning.

Then he came to the body of the Demon Wolf King and tried to find its demon pill.

However, this was just Li Mo's wishful thinking. This demon wolf king had obviously not yet reached the foundation-building stage, and there was no possibility of him producing a demon pill.

This is basic common sense.

Even for a demon beast in the foundation-building stage, there is only a certain probability of giving birth to a demon pill. This is related to the individual potential of the demon beast, just like not every cultivator in the foundation-building stage has a top-grade magic weapon. It is just that as the cultivation level increases, the probability of giving birth to a demon pill will become greater and greater.

Only after the monster is promoted to the golden elixir stage will the monster pill be born.

Therefore, it was understandable that Li Mo did not find the demon pill, and he was not disappointed.

Then Li Mo slowly stretched out his right hand and wrapped all his spiritual thoughts that had been enhanced by the "Awakening of Mind" on the corpse of the demon wolf king. He was very cautious in this process. After confirming that he had completed this step, he suddenly activated his spiritual thoughts.

"Ethereal Transformation Technique."

The body of the Demon Wolf King twisted and disappeared out of thin air in front of Li Mo.

"It's done!"

This was the first time that Li Mo used the Piaomiao Transformation Technique on a real corpse.

Although theoretically this was the best way to use the Misty Transformation Technique, he was still a little worried, fearing that something might go wrong.

As the corpse of the Demon Wolf King entered the ethereal dream, Li Mo instantly developed a strange connection with it. It was a very wonderful feeling, just like controlling a puppet. Only then did he feel relieved.

He could vaguely feel that a strange evil eye was forming in the body of the Demon Wolf King.

Two completely different auras are flowing into the body of this mutated demon wolf king. These two auras are one of twisted, weird and crazy aura, and the other of fantasy, longing and dreams. After they merge with each other, they begin to dominate this demon wolf king.

Next, Li Mo peeled off the fur of several stronger demon wolves.

These furs can be used as materials for refining low-grade magical weapons.

As for those demon wolves that were only equivalent to the third or fourth level of Qi training, they were not of much value. Moreover, the space in his storage bag was limited, and he did not have time to deal with them carefully, so he chose to discard them.

Then Li Mo quickly left the cave and ran out of the Wild Wolf Valley.

the next day.

Li Mo left the Wild Wolf Valley and whistled loudly.

A horse that was leisurely grazing in the distance heard the sound and ran over.

Li Mo touched its neck with satisfaction, then jumped up and galloped away on his horse. He did not dare to delay at all on the way, and rushed to the county seat of Zhanghe County as quickly as possible, and came to the flying boat that was about to depart for Anle City.

no way.

There are not many flying boats that go directly to Qingling Mountain, so he can only go to Anle City first, then rent a flying bird at any cost, rush back to the sect at full speed, and follow Wei Cang to attend the trade fair.

Three days later.

Li Mo came to Anle City, gritted his teeth and paid five spirit stones, then rode away on a crane.

In just less than an hour, he arrived at the market at the foot of Qingming Mountain. He finally arrived back early and did not miss the evening trade fair.

It's only late afternoon now, so there's still plenty of time.

So he simply sold the four taels of silver essence he had prepared earlier and exchanged them for spirit stones.

Afterwards, he came to a small shop selling magical instruments, where he sold Wen Daoren's Yinhun Bowl for one hundred spirit stones.

One to two to go.

Li Mo carried more than 1,800 spirit stones and ran quickly towards Qingming Mountain.
