My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Su Lin turned her head sharply.

Lin Mo had silently appeared not far behind her at some point.

His expression remained as calm as ever, as if he had simply returned from a walk.

The moment Su Lin saw Lin Mo, she felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

Wang Tong's smug smile froze on his face.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously scanned Lin Mo's entire body quickly.

The clothes were clean, without a single tear or bloodstain.

There were no signs of injury to his waist, and his breathing was frighteningly steady.

He was filled with suspicion and uncertainty: 'This guy...wasn't he shot by me? How come he looks completely unharmed?'

Lin Mo ignored Wang Tong's ghost-like gaze.

He walked straight up to the guard in charge of registration.

He said calmly, "I am Lin Mo, Su Lin's teammate in this trial. These venomous fangs of mine should be considered part of her score, right?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

He nodded quickly: "Of course! The gains made by the hero and his teammates in the trial belong to the hero's team; that's the rule."

The brave warriors and adventurers who had been watching the spectacle all turned their attention to this scene.

Although they did not believe that Lin Mo could achieve more than Wang Tong.

But deep down, they all hoped that someone would give Wang Tong a good slap in the face.

However, when Lin Mo simply took out a cloth bag from his pocket...

The glimmer of hope that had just been ignited in the eyes of many quickly dimmed again.

A cloth bag?

Even if it's full, it'll only have forty or fifty ordinary fangs at most, right?

How could it possibly compare to Wang Tong's terrifying achievement of nearly a hundred venomous fangs?

It seems that Wang Tong ultimately still deserves first place.

Many people sighed inwardly.

It was both disappointment and helplessness towards Wang Tong.

Wang Tong saw that Lin Mo only took out a cloth bag.

My tense nerves relaxed slightly.

That disgusting sneer resurfaced on his face.

At the same time, he mentally added another insult to Lin Mo's name: "Kid, just you wait. Once I get the essence, I have plenty of ways to kill you!"

However, just when everyone thought the dust had settled—

"This...this is?!"

The guard in charge of taking inventory opened the cloth bag that Lin Mo handed over.

After seeing what was inside.

Suddenly, he let out an uncontrollable gasp.

His voice even trembled and changed tone due to shock!

Lord Fano, who was not far away, noticed something was wrong and immediately frowned and went forward to check.

When his gaze fell upon the bag, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "These...the color, size, and energy fluctuations of these fangs...they're the fangs of elite Dark Ink Spiders?! A whole bag of them?!"

He suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Mo in disbelief.

Lin Mo merely glanced at him indifferently, her tone remaining flat: "Is this enough to count as a grade? If not, there's more."

As he spoke, under the stunned gaze of everyone present...

As if by magic, he then pulled out four more identical, bulging cloth bags from his waist.

He casually tossed it into the guard's hand.

Five cloth bags were held in the arms of the guard.

The guard's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his lips trembling: "Five...five?! All of them...?"

Lord Fano disregarded his decorum and hurriedly stepped forward, his hands trembling slightly, to open and inspect the five cloth bags one by one.

As the bag opening is left open.

Without exception, all of them exposed inside were elite Dark Ink Spider fangs that were larger and darker in color than ordinary fangs!

At a glance, each cloth bag contained at least thirty coins!

Five bags!

The total number definitely exceeds one hundred!

And they're all elite-level!

Even Captain Bai Rong, who had been observing from the sidelines, had a slight change in expression.

His sharp gaze immediately locked onto Lin Mo, and he looked him up and down again.

Su Lin looked at the five heavy bags of elite venomous fangs.

Then he looked at Lin Mo, who had a calm expression beside him.

A complex and indescribable emotion welled up inside me.

There was shock, disbelief, and even more so, a deep sense of gratitude and... a strange flutter of emotion.

She took a step forward abruptly, grasped Lin Mo's hand, and said in a choked voice, "Thank...thank you, Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo nodded slightly.

He had sensed it when the clone disappeared.

That's why I started collecting venomous fangs.

Since he didn't know the exact number of Wang Tong's, he collected all the teeth of the elite spiders he had killed.

If that's still not enough, he has more.

Meanwhile, the smugness and sneer on Wang Tong's face had vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was a dull and unbelievable gray-white.

His previous victorious demeanor was still stiffly displayed on his face.

At this moment, it seems incredibly ridiculous and laughable.

He felt like a complete clown.

The surrounding heroes and adventurers were taken aback at first, then erupted into a huge uproar and undisguised laughter:

"Hahaha! Serves you right! Serves you right for stealing from me! Now you're dumbfounded, aren't you?!"

"My god! Where did Su Lin find this amazing teammate? He's awesome and good-looking!"

"I think you're just swooning! But... that was fucking awesome! That was so satisfying!"

"Wang Tong's expression was hilarious, hahaha!"

……

At this moment, Wang Tong felt his face burning.

I wish I could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Lord Fano had no time to pay attention to these matters.

He hurriedly urged the guards, "Quickly! Count them! Count them carefully!"

The guards frantically began counting.

Bai Rong then stepped forward and walked up to Lin Mo.

Su Lin noticed someone approaching, and somewhat embarrassedly released Lin Mo's hand, taking a half step back.

But her face still had a rosy blush.

Bai Rong didn't look at Su Lin; his gaze remained fixed on Lin Mo, as if trying to see right through him.

Lin Mo met his gaze, and his senses told him that the man before him was stronger than himself.

Bai Rong finally spoke, his voice not loud.

Yet it carried an invisible pressure, clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"You killed and collected all of these elite Dark Ink Spiders' fangs by yourself?"

He paused, then asked the most crucial question: "How old are you? What grade are you in?"

This was a question on the minds of everyone present.

To be able to kill such a large number of elite spiders, one's level must be at least level 10!

Moreover, the adventurer in front of them didn't look very old.

The biggest difference between adventurers and heroes lies in the experience points gained from defeating monsters.

A hero might only need to kill 10 monsters to level up, while an adventurer would need to kill 20 or even 30.

The fact that this adventurer has reached level 10 at such a young age shows that he has extremely strong talent!

But Wang Tong interpreted those words differently.

She snapped out of her daze and screamed, "Yes! That's right! He definitely cheated! How could an adventurer possibly get so many elite fangs! He must have used some underhanded methods, or even forged them!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Bai Rong merely glanced at him indifferently.

His eyes were as cold as a knife.

That one look made Wang Tong feel like a duck with its neck being choked.

The rest of his words got stuck in his throat, and his face turned red.

Bai Rong's gaze returned to Lin Mo, awaiting an answer.

But Lin Mo was clearly very dissatisfied with Bai Rong's scrutinizing and questioning tone.

Besides, he couldn't very well say that he had just absorbed the essence of the Dark Ink Spider King and broken through the level 10 bottleneck.

So he coldly uttered four words: "None of your business."

This was a blunt, even slightly disdainful, response.

It instantly silenced the surroundings.

Everyone held their breath.

Bai Rong was taken aback by Lin Mo's retort.

But he didn't get angry; instead, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

It's normal for capable people to have a temper.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and spoke to Lin Mo in a more formal and respectful manner:

"I was being presumptuous. Well then, Lin Mo... or rather, this adventurer."

He looked into Lin Mo's eyes and solemnly extended an invitation: "You, do you wish to join the White Tiger Knights of the Holy Ancient Empire?"
