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

"Golden Amplifier?"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yin Xue's surprised tone.

A plant that could surprise even this former demon king must be extraordinary.

Yin Xue skillfully clung to Lin Mo's collar, peeking out half of her head.

His blood-red eyes were fixed on the golden lichen, and he began to explain.

"This is a treasure! It can double the growth rate of surrounding plants, and when added to alchemy, it can greatly enhance the effect of the finished product. It is a very rare alchemy material, and I never expected it to grow here."

Lin Mo suddenly realized how it was.

This was an unexpected bonus.

If what Yin Xue said is true, this herb is indeed quite valuable.

Transplanting it next to the stonewort plant or integrating it into the stonewort plant's herbaceous plant would be good options.

Yin Xue was still staring at the flower, a thoughtful expression on her small face, and she murmured to herself.

"No wonder... this summoning beast king suddenly gained intelligence and advanced to the level of beast king, and even made such a big fuss."

"The energy released by this golden amplifying agent can not only accelerate the growth of plants, but also slightly enhance the potential of monsters. However, it consumes a great deal of mental energy, which is even greater for monsters like summoned beasts that rely on mental strength."

"It must have been staying here for a long time, its mental power surged but became extremely unstable, turning it into a mad and paranoid entity, which is why it kept expanding its territory and eventually provoked Stoneclothes Village. Look at its current state..."

Lin Mo looked at the summoned beast king.

Even though it had no good flesh on its body, its murky red rabbit eyes revealed not only fear, but also an almost morbid greed and possessiveness.

His body was desperately protecting the golden amplification agent.

This appearance certainly doesn't resemble a normal beast king; it's more like that of a drug addict.

Just then, Shi Xuan's hurried footsteps and shouts came from the passage behind them.

Lin Mo no longer hesitated.

In a flash, he arrived in front of the Summoning Beast King.

The summoned beast king seemed to be thoroughly provoked by his approach.

It let out a sharp, piercing screech, completely unlike that of a rabbit.

The almost bald forelimb suddenly rose up.

The dark, sharp claws, driven by madness, viciously clawed at Lin Mo's face!

The illusions it had used along the way had made it realize that its best skills were ineffective against the person in front of it.

This claw strike was its last act of resistance, stemming from its biological instincts.

However, against Lin Mo, who had nearly four thousand points of agility and physical attributes, this attack was ridiculously slow.

The black sword made a casual slash.

A flash of dark light.

The forelimb that had been grabbed was severed at the wrist, and black, foul-smelling blood spurted out.

The Beast King let out a piercing scream, its massive body convulsing in agony.

But it still didn't move its body; instead, it curled up even more.

He tried to use his remains to shield himself from the golden amplifying agent.

Lin Mo's eyes were cold, devoid of any pity.

The black sword in his hand lashed out like a venomous snake, thrusting forward in an instant!

puff!

The sword tip pierced precisely through its thin, bony chest.

It pierced that wildly beating heart.

The Beast King's screams abruptly ceased.

His dark red eyes quickly lost their luster.

Its massive body swayed.

It collapsed onto the golden amplifying agent it was protecting.

Lin Mo flicked his wrist, drew the black sword, and shook off the bloodstains on the blade.

At the same time, he waved his left hand, and a barely perceptible stream of spiritual energy was released.

He carefully stored the golden lichen, along with a small patch of soil, into his spatial ring, keeping it intact.

How exactly to use this thing needs further consideration, but it's never a bad thing to get our hands on it first.

Almost at the same time that the Gold Enhancer disappeared.

A warm current, far larger and purer than the one that had killed the elite monsters and Matt before, surged into Lin Mo's body through the black sword like a torrent!

The soul of the summoned beast was absorbed by the black sword.

[All attributes +500!]

[Level upgraded to Level 24!]

Level up!

The rewards from defeating a level 30 special beast king, despite being several levels above the level, were indeed astonishing.

Lin Mo could feel that his strength, speed, and mental power had once again undergone a qualitative leap.

My body felt as if it had been cleansed and strengthened, and the fatigue from the previous continuous battles and resisting illusions was swept away.

The black sword seemed to emit a satisfied hum.

"Haha! We've finally dealt with this beast! That's great, Mr. Lin!"

Panting heavily, Shi Xuan finally rushed into the deepest part of the lair.

He spotted the corpse of the Demon Summoning Beast King lying dead on the ground at a glance, and his face instantly erupted with uncontrollable ecstasy.

Lin Mo nodded slightly in response to his joy, but did not mention the Enlightened Iris.

Such a precious treasure should be known to as few people as possible; this is the most basic precaution.

Shi Xuan was extremely excited at the moment and did not pay attention to Lin Mo's silence.

He walked quickly to the corpse of the Summoning Beast King.

He crouched down and pulled out a sharp skinning knife from somewhere on his person.

He began cutting away at the enormous, twisted rabbit-shaped head on his own.

He explained to Lin Mo as he performed the actions.

"Mr. Lin, I heard someone mention this at the adventurer's tavern in Mingbei City before. This summoning beast is quite special. Its beast king essence is its brain! It is said that many inexperienced adventure teams have gone through a lot of trouble to kill the summoning beast, but they can't find the essence. They even think that they didn't kill the beast king and have wasted their efforts."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo remembered the Beast King's Essence.

As Shi Xuan pried open the skull with his knife, he carefully removed a lump of brain tissue about the size of a fist.

"Mr. Lin, these are your spoils."

As Shi Xuan spoke, he handed over the brain marrow.

Lin Mo nodded and reached out to take it.

It feels cool and sticky to the touch, as if countless tiny energies are clashing and flowing inside.

Instead of putting it in the storage ring for valuable items, he put it directly into his backpack.

This essence was originally intended as "food" for the spider eggs.

Yin Xue had said long ago that the skill of summoning magical beasts was not suitable for Lin Mo.

However, its pure and mutated spiritual energy is a great tonic for the Dark Ink Spider King's offspring that are about to hatch.

Moreover, Lin Mo had just leveled up several times to reach level 25.

There's still a distance to go before reaching the next bottleneck of level 30, which requires a breakthrough in essence, so he can't use it even if he keeps it.

Moreover, given his own attribute values, level 30 Beastmaster Essence is no longer sufficient.

After placing the essence and the spider egg together, Lin Mo could clearly feel an extremely greedy desire emanating from the spider egg.

It seems that the little guy will be able to slowly refine and absorb this essence on the way back to the village.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Mo murmured to himself.

"Mom, don't worry."
