That Moment, I Was Really Panicking!

"Is it dead already?"

Looking at the Wolf King, now devoid of breath, Lin Mo stopped punching, momentarily stunned.

He had never expected that he could already kill a Fifth-grade Mutant Beast.

It felt unreal, yet he was filled with indescribable excitement.

In the span of a single day, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching its current level.

Only then did he realize that nearly three hundred Mutant Beasts were still surrounding him.

Lin Mo sat astride the massive Wolf King's neck, sweeping his gaze over the area.

Every Mutant Beast caught by Lin Mo's gaze involuntarily retreated several steps, low growls rumbling from their throats.

Their bodies could be seen trembling uncontrollably.

Even Level One Mutant Beasts possessed intelligence far beyond that of ordinary animals.

Combined with their instinctive sense of danger, they all knew that the human before them was powerful and not to be trifled with.

Although he could see their fear, Lin Mo was still a little panicked inside.

After all, there were nearly three hundred Mutant Beasts here.

Even if most of them were only Level Two or Three, their sheer numbers were enormous. If they truly fought, running would be his only option!

Lin Mo forced himself to stay calm, appearing utterly unconcerned by the Mutant Beasts surrounding him.

He casually took out the tools he had prepared beforehand and began carving up his spoils.

"Pfft..."

With the Obsidian Gauntlets, Lin Mo easily tore through the flesh on the Wolf King's head and smoothly cut off its giant horn.

Then, following the hollow left by the horn, Lin Mo dug out the Beast Core.

Mutant Beasts above Third-grade formed Beast Cores in their brains, which were materials used to craft advanced weapons and equipment.

Weapons infused with Beast Cores could greatly increase their damage.

Some special Beast Cores could even grant weapons or equipment certain special attributes.

The Thunder Horn Wolf King's Beast Core was purple and carried Thunder Element attributes, making it an exceptional material.

"Good stuff. I'll attach it to the gauntlets later."

Lin Mo smiled and put away the Wolf King's Beast Core.

The reason he had been able to kill the Wolf King so easily just now was also because Lin Mo had been wearing the gauntlets.

The Obsidian-grade gauntlets truly were extraordinary. They could indeed easily tear through the flesh of a Fifth-grade Mutant Beast.

With his current strength, if he fought head-on, he could defeat an ordinary Fifth-grade Mutant Beast.

But it would still take quite a bit of effort.

With these gauntlets, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Next, Lin Mo removed the Wolf King's teeth and bones.

He picked out some of the sturdiest ones and stuffed them into his backpack.

If his backpack had not been too small, he would have taken everything back with him.

After finishing up, Lin Mo stood.

The Mutant Beasts around him once again retreated several steps in terror.

"Humph!"

Lin Mo snorted coldly and forced himself to remain calm as he walked in one direction.

Step by step, neither hurried nor slow, his killing intent and aura continuously spread outward.

The Mutant Beasts obediently parted to form a path, not daring to block him in the slightest.

Only after Lin Mo vanished from their sight did the Mutant Beasts breathe a sigh of relief and collapse limply to the ground.

Those few minutes had felt like a brush with life and death to the Mutant Beasts.

Then they scattered in all directions.

That day, Lin Mo's appearance was deeply etched into their memories.

A god of slaughter! Not to be provoked!

Elsewhere, the instant Lin Mo could no longer see the shadows of those Mutant Beasts behind him, he immediately broke into a mad sprint.

"Fuck me, I was scared to death!"

Being watched by three hundred Mutant Beasts was not something an ordinary person could endure.

At that moment, Lin Mo had been really panicking.

Even now, thinking about it made his legs go weak.

In the news before, quite a few Sixth- and Seventh-grade martial artists had fallen in beast tides.

Once the number of Mutant Beasts reached a certain level, even if they were all low-grade, they were still terrifying to the extreme.

Though Lin Mo's combat strength had reached Fifth Rank, his actual qi and blood was only at Third-grade.

For now, he simply could not compare to those Sixth- or Seventh-grade martial artists.

Fortunately, relying on the domineering aura he had displayed by instantly killing the Wolf King, he had intimidated those Mutant Beasts.

Otherwise...

Lin Mo ran wildly all the way, not daring to delay. Who knew whether those Mutant Beasts would chase after him again?

At the outskirts of the dense forest, Zhang Junjie and the others waited anxiously.

"It's been almost three hours. Why hasn't Lin Mo come out yet?"

"Do you think... he'll be alright?"

Zhang Junjie and Qin Bufan stared at the entrance to the forest, pacing back and forth.

"Little Brother Lin Mo will definitely be fine." Wang Ling clasped her hands together and prayed without ceasing.

"That Scarface bastard!" Guo Hong's face was gloomy, his eyes seemingly ready to spit fire.

It was all because of that beast that Lin Mo had been dragged into this.

At that moment, Zhang Junjie's phone rang. He glanced at it and hurriedly answered.

"Hello? Oh? Alright, I understand."

After Zhang Junjie hung up, everyone looked at him.

"I found out. That Scarface guy is called Xu Xiaodao. Peak Fourth Rank."

As he said this, Zhang Junjie gritted his teeth, though his eyes carried a trace of helplessness.

Peak Fourth Rank was simply not something they could handle.

Thinking about it, anyone capable of offending a Fifth-grade Mutant Beast badly enough to be chased all the way could hardly be weak.

Their team was merely a group of Rogue Cultivators gathered together.

If they had backing and strength, why would they be in this situation?

"So what if he's Fourth-grade? We'll report him to the Martial Alliance."

At that moment, Guo Hong suddenly spoke up.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

The one in the team who had seemed to get along worst with Lin Mo was him. Yet now, he was the one reacting most fiercely.

"That's right, we'll report him to the Martial Alliance. What he did was far too vile."

Wang Ling echoed him.

"Oh? Who are you planning to report?"

Suddenly, a cold sneer sounded from behind them.

Everyone turned back. The instant they saw who it was, rage surged into their hearts.

"It's you! Bastard, you're the one who got Lin Mo killed."

Guo Hong was the first to step forward.

"Lin Mo? Never heard of him."

"It was you! If you hadn't led the Wolf King here, how could Lin Mo have been chased by it?"

Wang Ling also cried out angrily, pointing at Xu Xiaodao as she cursed him.

"Heh, are you people kidding? What do you mean, I led the Wolf King here?

Who told you to stay there? Why were other people fine?

Besides, I was being chased by the Wolf King. Was I supposed to stand still and wait for death?

Only this place has a barrier that can help me escape the Wolf King's pursuit.

As for that Lin Mo, he can only blame his bad luck."

Seeing that Guo Hong and Wang Ling's angry shouts had drawn many onlookers, Xu Xiaodao merely swept them a glance and spoke without blushing or missing a beat.

"Bullshit! You did it on purpose. We had already avoided you, yet you deliberately led it over here."

Guo Hong shouted furiously again.

"Kid, watch your mouth. What the hell are you?"

Xu Xiaodao's gaze darkened as the aura of a Peak Fourth Rank martial artist erupted.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In an instant, Guo Hong was forced back several steps by that terrifying aura.

"Brother!"

"Guo Hong!"

Guo Li, Zhang Junjie, and the others cried out in alarm, immediately stepping in front of Guo Hong and glaring furiously at Xu Xiaodao.

"A bunch of ants. You blocked my path and sought death yourselves, so you can't blame anyone else. On the contrary, because of you, I lost my pearl. How are you going to compensate me?"

"You... you're shameless."

Hearing Xu Xiaodao be so utterly shameless, Wang Ling's chest rose and fell violently with anger.

"Bastard, not only did you get Lin Mo killed, you're still this shameless."

Zhang Junjie and the others were also dumbfounded.

They had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless.

"Enough nonsense. I went through great trouble to bring that pearl out, yet I lost it because of you. You all look like a bunch of poor bastards, so I won't ask for much. Ten million."

Xu Xiaodao swept his gaze over them and sneered.

"What? Fuck your mother! Pay for Lin Mo's life first!" Guo Hong was enraged beyond measure. With a furious roar, he moved to risk his life against him.

"Who gives a shit about Lin Mo? How much was his life worth? He deserved to die."

As he spoke, he threw a punch at Guo Hong.

If he did not show them some color and kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, they would never know why the flowers were so red.

"Guo Hong!"

Everyone cried out in alarm.

The man before them was a Peak Fourth Rank martial artist. How could Guo Hong possibly be his match?

Just as everyone anxiously rushed forward, wanting to stop him, a figure suddenly flashed over.

Boom!

A massive roar rang out. Not only was Xu Xiaodao's punch directly neutralized, but the remaining force also sent him staggering back two steps.
