Fate Beast
The Shadow Cult quickly broke camp and set off. The wilderness of the Heavenmark Continent was very dangerous, with all sorts of dangers lurking around. In addition, Holy Sight Mountain's View was not far away, and they could vaguely sense that the other side was watching them. Therefore, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Li Mo sat in a carriage. Although he didn't have real power, he was at least of high status. Before his identity was truly confirmed, everyone assumed that he was the person predicted, but they weren't very close to each other, except for Yao Ge.
This woman seemed genuinely interested in Li Mo. She was sitting on the other side of the carriage, looking at him with a strange smile. The tenderness in her jewel-like eyes was enough to melt steel.
Li Mo sat opposite Yao Ge, meeting her gaze. He wanted to turn his head away, but was afraid of appearing weak. He secretly groaned to himself, "Can't this woman just stay quiet for a while?"
"Great Chief, have you ever left Holy Sight Mountain before?" Yao Ge laughed with great amusement, her hands, gloved with black gauze, gathering strands of hair from her temples, rolling them into loops in her hands, and then straightening them slightly.
"As one of the members, don't you have many things to handle?" Li Mo said indifferently, "Do you need to care whether I've left Holy Sight Mountain or not?"
"There are indeed many things to do, but I think the most important thing right now is to get along well with you, Chief." Yao Ge said with a charming smile, then frowned and said with a sad look, "Does the Chief really hate me that much? You're so heartless! I saved you, applied medicine for you, and even supported you becoming the Chief."
"Cough cough." Li Mo coughed twice, pressing his head which was a little sore. He really couldn't handle this woman. If she were a stranger, he could have been indifferent, but as Yao Ge said, she had saved his life and was now his main supporter.
"What exactly do you want?" Li Mo couldn't see through this woman, so he had no choice but to ask the most essential question. Everyone does everything for a reason, even if it's just a casual action, there's always an underlying cause.
Yao Ge is helping me so much and clinging to me, so there must be an underlying reason for her actions, and that reason is probably related to her interests.
"Didn't I tell you before? You're very similar to someone I used to like, both in appearance and..." Yao Ge got up from her seat, leaned forward towards Li Mo, and placed her two fragrant hands on the car wall Li Mo's head.
Yao Ge bent over, her eyes very close to Li Mo's. From Li Mo's current position, if he lowered his head even slightly, he could see that exceptionally beautiful sliver of white sky. This made Li Mo want to turn his head away, but Yao Ge's arms were on both sides.
"Still this innocent expression, just like him." Yao Ge seemed very happy. She withdrew her arm, returned to her seat, and continued to gaze at Li Mo with that tender look.
Li Mo looked into Yao Ge's eyes, and the tenderness in them seemed to flow like water, but for some reason, it was also mixed with a faint sadness. Li Mo found that he was beginning to believe Yao Ge's words, so he closed his eyes to avoid seeing Li Mo and began to organize the various skills and knowledge passed down from the Black Day.
The carriage hadn't been traveling long when it slowly came to a stop. Then someone reported intelligence from ahead, saying that traces of Fate Beast had been discovered and that someone had already gone to deal with it.
Upon hearing the Fate Beast, Li Mo opened his eyes.
The so-called "Fate Beast" are monsters that are different from ordinary wild animals. They were originally ordinary wild animals, plants, trees, or even soil and stones, until one day they underwent some kind of change and developed a new life form, which is the Fate Beast.
Most of the Sky Mark actually come from Fate Beast. It is possible to obtain Sky Mark by killing Fate Beast, but it is only a possibility. Each Fate Beast has special abilities, so there has always been a saying that the so-called Fate Beast is something else that has obtained Sky Mark.
Li Mo rarely saw Fate Beast on Holy Sight Mountain. His main task was to help the farmers at the foot of the mountain drive away wild animals. Occasionally, when he did encounter Fate Beast, his uncle or an elder would handle it. He had never actually seen anything strange about Fate Beast.
"Want to go down and take a look?" Yao Ge's eyes lit up, and she knew what Li Mo was thinking. They were both people who couldn't stay idle.
"Then let's go together. The Fate Beast is too strange. If something goes wrong and you die here, it will be my fault." Yao Ge got up and got off the carriage. Li Mo didn't stand on ceremony and got off as well, following the sound towards that direction.
From afar, Yu Que could be seen confronting a giant wild boar. The boar was about five or six meters tall, covered in a thick layer of mud armor, with long hair mixed in, giving it an extremely sturdy appearance.
The long tusks indicate that it is a male wild boar. Of course, there may be errors, since Fate Beast evolve from ordinary life forms and develop new forms, so it is not surprising that they have some strange features.
"The special abilities of boar-shaped Fate Beast are usually limited to a few types," Yao Ge said softly, standing beside him. "Penetration, counter-attack, collision, steel armor, strength, and power, and of course, there may be some strange and unusual abilities as well."
"Judging from its thick mud armor, I think steel armor is more likely," Yao Ge said, stating her judgment.
"Aren't the abilities of Fate Beast random?" Li Mo asked, somewhat puzzled. The Holy Sight Mountain had given some simple instruction about Fate Beast, and the mainstream explanation was that ordinary things could randomly acquire Sky Mark and evolve into higher-level life forms.
"It's true that it's random, but there's still a certain probability involved. For example, water is unlikely to obtain Sky Mark related to fire. The same goes for other Fate Beast; the Sky Mark they obtain are mostly related to something in some way. If they're completely unrelated, the probability of obtaining one is much lower."
Li Mo nodded, indicating that she understood. Although it was random, there was still a probability factor involved. Then she continued to watch the battle between Yu Que and the wild boar Fate Beast.
Wild boars are not slow and are strong, but they are not very agile when turning. Yu Que dodged the boar's attack by shaking his Duckweed Crutch, then hit the boar's foot with the cane, jumped up and kicked the boar, but it had no effect on the huge boar.
Yu Que seemed to have angered the wild boar. It howled, turned somewhat unsteadily, and charged at Yu Que again. Meanwhile, black flames began to emanate from Yu Que's body. Clearly, the test had given him an understanding of the wild boar's general condition.
A black aura spread across the Duckweed Crutch, and soon long blades emerged from both Duckweed Crutch, resembling two pitch-black battle blades. Seeing the charging wild boar, Yu Que jumped up, waving his hand forward, the pitch-black battle blades aimed directly at the wild boar's brow, which is generally the wild boar's weak point.
