Many men have a knack for barbecuing.

Li Mo was a master in his previous life, and roasting 40 skewers of mutton at the same time was his trick to attract girls while camping.

But compared to Lawrence's craftsmanship, Li Mo is really ashamed of himself.

The whole pork chop is marinated with spices and granules at the same time, smoked with hickory and cherry wood, brushed with honey halfway, the finished product exudes a sauce-red glow, and finally sprinkled with sesame seeds, finely divided...

The aroma of this barbecue was enough to make a carnivore like Li Mo go crazy.

A small, cast-iron frying pan served burnt tortillas with a thin layer of sweet maple syrup dripping on top.

Paired with a refreshing Cools light ale,

Everyone gave Lawrence a thumbs up.

Food will make people relax, the only few guests in the bar chatted happily, and Li Mo consciously or unintentionally probed the origin of these three people in the small talk.

They came from a power lab on Long Island, a middle-aged couple named Joseph and Lucy, and a middle-aged man named Eli.

Li Mo took a sip of beer and a smile appeared on his face, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

After the barbecue, the three of them immediately said goodbye to the group, and they couldn't wait to go back to the lab to study the book.

After waiting for a few minutes, Li Mo said hello to Evan and the others, who were celebrating wildly, and went out to follow.

The three of them drove a silver Volvo through the mountain roads, while Li Mo relied on his tentacles to catapult rapidly between the mountains and trees next to him, staring at the car with his eyes fixed on the road, and stopped the people on a corner of the road.

Several tentacles lifted the car two meters high at once, and poured them out of the car like shaking a candy box.

The three of them fell hard, and after getting up, they looked at Li Mo's tentacles in horror. The Chinese are indeed a bit faceblind to them, but this iconic ability is not available to everyone.

"What kind of man are you, what are you going to do?" Joseph asked, swallowing his saliva.

"The book in your hand is related to me." Li Mo smiled.

All three of them were a little hesitant, after all, they had already seen the power of that book.

"Books can be given to you, but you have to spare us." As a woman, Lucy said immediately.

Li Mo shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, and the three of them suddenly collapsed a little.

"Is it because of the people who died on the road? It was just an experimental accident. Joseph argued.

"You're a superhero, you can't kill innocents!" Another man, Eli, also shouted frantically.

Li Mo almost laughed angrily, what kind of reason is this, you are allowed to conduct crazy experiments without regard for human life, and when it is your turn, you will ask me not to kill people indiscriminately?

Double is the most annoying thing!

"I suddenly don't have the slightest mental barrier to killing you." Li Mo shook his head with a smile, and several tentacles stretched out.

After killing a few people and throwing them along with the car to the Mississippi River under the cliff next to him, Li Mo carefully studied the book in his hand.

The black cover was heavy and hardcover, with a strange symbol like a flip 6, and the pages were made of yellowish parchment, ten centimeters thick.

Li Mo quickly rushed into the dense forest next to him, sat in a clearing and opened the book.

What surprised him happened, the book was blank at first, and then a large section of Chinese appeared?

Li Mo read it seriously, and after a while, he became obsessed with it...

As Li Mo imagined, most of the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign secret texts will always be accompanied by a large number of religious legends as long as they involve mysterious things, whether it is the devil or the angel, there is a problem.

The author of this book, a fellow named Sithorne, boasted himself almost like Pangu, and proudly recorded how the believers sacrificed him blood, and some of his so-called great achievements.

This guy actually claimed to be the god of the underworld, Li Mo scoffed, "You hang like this, why have I never heard of you?" ”

He simply skipped the nonsense and began to focus on the various spells recorded on it, and sure enough, it was a black magic book, which recorded all kinds of weird, cruel and powerful black magic.

Li Mo was thinking while reading, and when he wasn't paying attention, the book began to slowly seep out a black-purple stream-like light, gradually wrapping his whole body along his arm...

Li Mo had a dream in a trance,

It's like seeing through frosted glass,

He seems to be in the dark universe,

Everywhere there are huge black crystalline planets,

The crystals are still oozing decaying black liquid,

But what frightened him even more was that

Vague

A black figure stood among the stars,

I can't see the edge and I can't feel the distance,

Li Mo could feel that something was constantly pouring into his body,

Like the deepest darkness,

capable of corrupting the soul of man,

Li Mo's consciousness gradually became a little confused...

suddenly

This feeling recedes like a tide,

He immediately came to his senses,

Feeling a little surprised,

The vampire vine entangled with his soul,

All the power that poured into the body has been drained!

Li Mo opened his eyes violently, and there were still verdant mountains and forests in front of him, and there was a crisp birdsong on the trees.

He broke out in a cold sweat and threw the book in his hand far away.

What the hell is this?

He hurriedly summoned the vampire vine, and was surprised to find that the vampire vine had now completely materialized.

The overall color is dark green, with some sharp white thorns, and the vines have broken through the limit and grown to 12 meters, and their strength and strength have also been greatly improved.

The chrysanthemum shield also disappeared, for all the vines had grown a strange dark purple flower at the tip, which was like a shield with spikes when opened, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth when closed.

Fortunately, what made Li Mo feel at ease, the vampire vine just used that strange power to evolve, and it was not affected by any adverse effects.

And what excites him is that after the absorption of the vampire vine like a filter, he left a pure knowledge of spells, runes, in his mind!

It's really shit luck, Li Mo immediately figured out the truth, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This book does give strength, but at the same time the soul can be corrupted, or die or become a slave to a powerful being.

And relying on the power of the vampire vine, he avoided a catastrophe and gained a lot of benefits.

This thing is indeed very dangerous, Li Mo looked at the book thrown on the ground with mixed feelings, and he had the heart to throw it away but was reluctant.

He could feel the vast sea of knowledge and power in the book.

After pondering for a while, Li Mo decided to hide it in an unknown place.

It's too dangerous to carry it around, not only the book itself, but also the prying eyes that come with it.

……

Li Mo returned to the Mountain Eagle Bar with an unconcealable smile.

Evan's signing celebration continued, and everyone was already slightly drunk.

"Lao Wang, where have you been, so long?" Elizabeth asked.

"I got a sense of life." Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, "I found that I was quite lucky." ”

"What else do you say, a toast to luck!" Seth yelled.

"Cheers!" Li Mo picked up a glass of beer and drank it all.

After the signing celebration, the group rested in the bar for a while, listening to songs, chatting, playing billiards...

When they sobered up, the group said goodbye to Lawrence, started the car and left.

Looking at the mountain scenery that gradually disappeared in the rearview mirror, Li Mo brought a smile on the corner of his mouth.

And that's just the beginning.

There is still a long way to go!
