Greenwood City.

"Monster! Monster!"

A scout wearing rattan armor was surrounded by a group of powerful demon kings who had transformed into human form; he was weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Bullshit! Which eye of yours sees me as a demon?"

A middle-aged man, as tall as two people, with arms as thick as a man's waist and horns on his head that looked like refined iron, said in a muffled voice.

"Yeah, we don't look like demons at all."

Manbo frowned, rubbing his chin as sparks crackled and popped from his fingers.

She didn't know how she was exposed.

"Old Guo, we finally caught someone guilty, don't scare him to death."

Wu Qing gave a wink, then looked at the scout who was tightly bound.

She coughed lightly and said:

"We are just human warriors who have practiced... Image-Mimicking Martial Arts, you don't need to be afraid."

Rumble--

The clouds thickened, and a few flashes of lightning appeared, as if rain was about to fall.

"..."

The scout shrank back, even more frightened.

"Demon Kings, let's get to the bottom of this first."

"A bald young man in a golden robe said."

The demons came to help.

With Shang Qinqing's help, they managed to stop the high-grade Calamity Beast when Li Mo and Ying Bing returned to Greenwood City.

Leaving aside the possibility that the Peerless Sky Flood Dragon and the Green Phoenix Goddess might lead the Demon Race to revival.

No normal demon would want to see the Heavenly Jade fall into the hands of Calamity Beast.

Once the Heavenly Jade falls into the control of the Calamity Beast, then normal Demon Race will only have two paths: either join it or perish.

This is why Li Mo and Ying Bing did not encounter any high-grade Calamity Beast on their return journey.

Later, the Hidden Dragon Ranking was released.

All the Demon Race now knew that the two were human.

But after some consideration, they decided they still had to help. After all, the Peerless Sky Flood Dragon was a man of integrity, and as a human, he was willing to share the Divine Jade with them.

It's better than letting the Calamity Beast steal it.

Therefore, many powerful demon kings used the art of transformation to disguise themselves as ordinary people who had practiced Image-Mimicking Martial Arts...

But they were planning to secretly support Greenwood City when they arrived and immediately realized something was wrong.

The battle is over?!

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Bald Peng Lingyuangou asked seriously."

"We... we lost. Chief Han was killed, which is why our army collapsed like a house of cards..."

The scout was on the verge of tears.

He was simply relieving himself in the bushes while fleeing when he was inexplicably captured.

He never dared to urinate or defecate anywhere again.

"Huh? You still dare to lie to a demon at a time like this?"

The great demon of the Giant Whale Clan could stop a child from crying at night by bulging its eyes.

"I'll use some tricks on him."

"I swear I'm telling the truth! That Li Mo is simply inhuman!"

Manbo was about to use electrotherapy to make the scout behave when the latter stared wide-eyed in terror.

"Um..."

The demon kings and great demons nodded.

Really.

Under the threat of electric shock, the scout recounted the entire incident in detail.

"He led a cavalry unit out, breaking through the ranks of the hundred armies, and charged all the way to the palace of Chief Han. With the hammer that had shattered several statues of gods, he smashed Chief Han to pieces with a single blow."

"Oh, right, and that woman too. She can command the military formation at the same time, and even turn the formation into a field. She killed the two elders who came with us."

The hilltop fell silent for a moment.

The demon kings and great demons were buzzing in their heads, their minds filled with the word "outrageous".

But this doesn't sound fake.

With this scout's imagination, he probably couldn't have come up with such an outrageous scenario.

In the midst of silence.

A small bird, as if made of green jade, flew through the midday smoke from the city's chimneys, over the devastated battlefield, and landed on a small hill a hundred miles outside Greenwood City, where it transformed into human form.

"Clan Leader Shang, why are you only just returning?"

"How is Greenwood City?"

Seeing that there were no signs of her doing anything, Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:

"I took care of a small matter on the way."

Shang Qinqing put away her maternal smile and said:

"Don't worry, everyone, they're having dumplings in Greenwood City."

The expressions of the demon kings and great demons were complex.

They rushed as fast as they could, fearing that if they arrived too late, Greenwood City would fall in just a few days.

Unexpectedly, quite the opposite happened.

"Since we're done here, shall we... go back?"

What flavor are the dumplings?

"Paired with vinegar, it's absolutely authentic!"

"Since we're already here..."

The atmosphere at the Greenwood Camp remained lively.

Especially when someone finds a golden bean in their dumpling.

"Holy crap, what's this? Gold?"

Who puts gold beans in their dumplings for a festival?

"Huh? I mean I just ate something hard, and I swallowed it whole."

"It's alright, it's not a big problem. Let's go to the outhouse together tonight and look for it with lanterns."

"..."

The outhouses at Greenwood Camp are probably going to be quite lively tonight.

Li Mo coughed, and the image of Elder Xue searching for the Profound Pill with a lantern flashed through his mind. He almost spat out the soup that Ice Block had carefully prepared for making dumplings.

"This is a lucky draw for everyone, Young Hero Li. Come, let's toast Young Hero Li!"

Wu Lang loudly offered Li Mo a toast, and the soldiers cheered.

This looks like they're going to drink themselves into oblivion.

Li Mo turned to look at Ice Block and found that Ice Block's smile was somewhat kind, and there was a small hand on his waist that gently pinched him.

Don't you have any idea whether your injury has healed or not?

Just then Qu Sheng returned, and his white hair had miraculously returned to its thick, black color.

That heavy, gloomy aura had vanished from him.

"I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."

He said something to Li Mo, then picked up his wine glass:

"On behalf of everyone, let's all raise a toast to Young Hero Li."

Qu Sheng the lead, and the soldiers followed suit, drinking their cups dry. The atmosphere in the camp became even more enthusiastic, and everyone relaxed, drinking and boasting.

The flesh in Li Mo's arms felt slightly warm.

He looked down and saw the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda in his arms; the bottom layer was emitting a faint white light.

This means that it is absorbing the Power of All Living Beings.

I wonder how much I need to save up to fight the Monkey Brother?

Okay, I reckon that's definitely not enough.

After all, once the Empty-Bright Myriad-Color Pagoda is purified, only one-tenth of the Power of All Living Beings remains, while the Power of All Living Beings required to project the Great Dao Divine Form must be an absurd amount.

The soldiers outside were too enthusiastic; they were having trouble keeping up.

Li Mo and Ying Bing went into the military tent next door.

He raised his weak arm, rinsed his mouth, and swallowed the sour taste.

"Why do I feel hungrier the more I eat these dumplings..."

That half bowl of vinegar was so damn appetizing!

Upon hearing this, Ying Bing immediately got up to go out, seemingly preparing to learn from her previous experience and launch Ice Block brand dumplings 2.0 to satisfy Little Li's cravings.

But as soon as she lifted her foot, her little hand was grabbed by a rather weak big hand. Heaven help her, Little Li can't even hold a skewer properly now, it was really an effort to hold her little hand.

"Weren't you hungry?"

"Don't just eat dumplings, I actually want some grilled skewers."

"Um..."

Ying Bing sat back down, nodded, picked up a skewer of grilled meat, and offered it to Li Mo's mouth.

Li Mo opened his mouth and bit down, then tried to pull his head to the side, but couldn't budge it. The meat and the skewer seemed to be stuck together, resulting in a failed attempt to eat the skewers.

He blinked:

"Ice Block, try pushing to the other side."

But I don't have hands.

Ying Bing thought of pushing his head, but now her right hand was in Li Mo's palm, and her left hand was holding the skewer.

"You don't necessarily have to use your other hand."

Li Mo was taken aback.

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and glanced at her toes.

There seemed to be no one else in the military tent...

Suddenly.

Li Mo felt a cool sensation on his left cheek, something icy, fragrant, and soft against his skin.

With a gentle push, he successfully peeled the meat off the skewer.

With his cheeks moving, Little Li chewed on the mutton, but felt a little strange.

Wasn't her hand busy?

emmmmm

Li Mo turned around.
