After rushing into the cave, Mo Tang's speed did not decrease; instead, he meandered to a fork in the road.
"Well, according to the original work, one of these two passages should be the location of the Companion Purple Crystal Source, while the other is where a small Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and Purple Spirit Crystal live."
After only a slight hesitation, Mo Tang chose a passage and walked in.
Anyway, no matter which passage leads to which location, there will be something he needs, so there's no need to worry about it so much.
However, while the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King here was not an obstacle for Mo Tang, Xiao Yan, who was also in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, was!
Although Mo Tang didn't see anyone else in the Lion King Cave on his Minimap, that didn't mean Xiao Yan wouldn't appear...
The commotion caused by Yun Yun and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King outside was so great that as long as Xiao Yan was still in the Eastern Demonic Beast Mountain Range, he would definitely be able to find it.
Furthermore, with the presence of the Old Yao's soul form nearby, it's not impossible for him to appear in the Lion King Cave.
Thinking of this, Mo Tang quickened his pace.
"Huh? There's a Tier 3 Demonic Beast ahead..."
Mo Tang was startled to find a huge red dot suddenly appearing on his Minimap.
However, after the initial surprise came joy.
"The only one that could be here is that little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King..."
Mo Tang wondered if he should take the little guy with him as well...
However, upon actually seeing the size of the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sleeping in the cave filled with Purple Spirit Crystal, he immediately dismissed the idea.
"Damn it! Isn't it supposed to be a small animal? Why is it so big?!"
Although it's called the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, it's only one size smaller than its father. Even if you knock it unconscious, you can't take it with you...
"What should we do? Should we kill this little guy?"
Mo Tang hesitated.
If stealing the Companion Purple Crystal Source and Purple Spirit Crystal would enrage the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, then if he actually killed the king's son, he would probably be hunted down to the ends of the earth.
Despite Yun Yun's presence, no one knows just how far a Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, whose child has been killed, might go insane.
At that point, even Yun Yun might not be able to stop them...
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Mo Tang took out the Chasing Moon Bow, and then took out the poisoned arrows he had obtained from Xiao Yi Xian.
"This Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, being a sixth-tier Demonic Beast, must have very high resistance to poison. This Blood Melting Poison shouldn't be able to kill it..."
The greatest effect of Blood Melting Poison is that it can make the enemy lose the ability to resist in a very short time... It takes at least one or two hours for the poison to take effect and kill the enemy.
Thinking back to that time, this "little thing's" father should have been able to find a way to detoxify it.
Thinking this, the poisoned arrow in Mo Tang's hand had already been fired...
Swift as lightning!
The arrow's target was—the enormous rear end of the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!
When Mo Tang looked again, the three-foot-long arrow had already penetrated more than halfway into the body of the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, leaving only half of its tail feathers trembling.
The little guy, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a sharp pain and roared angrily to the sky.
But just as it was about to get up and find the bastard who dared to poke its butt, its limbs suddenly went limp and it collapsed back down.
Hey! It works great!
After all, the little thing is only at the third tier now, and can't compare to its father, a sixth-tier Demonic Beast king.
Under the enraged gaze of the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Mo Tang grabbed its tail and dragged it aside, then found the hidden Purple Spirit Crystal where it had been lying down...
"Roar..."
Looking at this despicable human thief, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a weak roar.
The human who brazenly robbed him actually smiled at him, then darted away like a rabbit...
As the son of the Demonic Beast King, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had never suffered such humiliation.
Tears of grievance welled up in its seemingly adorable purple eyes... it whimpered, calling out for its father...
The saying goes, "Father and son are of one heart."
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who was fighting Yun Yun, suddenly felt a pain in his heart and sensed something was wrong. He immediately prepared to leave the battle and return to his cave.
Unfortunately, with Yun Yun fighting with all her might, her opponent had no chance to escape at all.
In a great hurry, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could not care about anything else. He could only roar to the sky, ordering the high-level Demonic Beast in his territory to immediately go to guard his cave.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's move was something neither Yun Yun nor Mo Tang had anticipated.
However, the first to suffer misfortune wasn't them, but Xiao Yan, who had just arrived at the entrance of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave...
"Oh no! Teacher, something terrible has happened!"
Watching a group of second-, third-, and even fourth-tier Demonic Beast charging towards the mountaintop, Xiao Yan instantly felt a chill run down his spine...
He and Old Yao were diligently cultivating their Earth Tier Dou Technique at their secluded retreat, but when they saw the previously vanished female Dou Emperor once again battling the King of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, Old Yao had a different thought.
After all, Old Yao was very clear about the matter of the Purple Spirit Crystal and the Companion Purple Crystal Source.
Now that someone has lured the lion king away, how can we waste such a good opportunity...?
However, they were quite far apart, and given the unexpected situation, by the time Old Yao brought Xiao Yan to the entrance of the Lion King Cave, everything had already happened.
"Little guy, what are you panicking about! They're just a bunch of third or fourth-tier Demonic Beast. With me here, how could they possibly hurt you?" Old Yao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears.
But these words did not comfort him...
Xiao Yan said with a bitter face, "But how are we supposed to get into the cave like this? If we get trapped inside by these guys, we're doomed!"
Who knows how long that human female Dou Emperor can hold out? If the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King returns ahead of schedule, things will get really interesting!
The Old Yao pondered for a moment, then said, "Indeed. It's just a pity this opportunity has passed..."
Seeing the herd of beasts approaching, Xiao Yan quickly said, "That's not necessarily true. Didn't you say the chance of that Companion Purple Crystal Source being produced is very small, teacher? Maybe there's nothing here at all?"
"That's true," the Old Yao nodded.
He didn't actually have high expectations for obtaining the Companion Purple Crystal Source, after all, Old Yao had once ventured into the caves of eight Purple Crystal Winged Lion King specifically to find this thing, but in the end, he returned empty-handed.
This time, it just so happened that...
"Little one, give me control of your body, and I'll take you away from here!"
