Chapter 430
And the goal of this trip is to obtain information about the Mu Clan, observe their movements, and even more so to obtain the precious Dust Extinguishing Pill. This elixir was extraordinary, and it was of great benefit to Lin Mo's cultivation. Efforts must be made to obtain it.
Although the task was difficult and full of unknowns, Lin Mo had no fear. For the sake of the organization, for the sake of the Dust Eradication Pill, he will definitely go all out and complete it successfully.
In the silence of the Blackleaf Forest, he used concealment, like a shadow through the trees at night. Every step was light and accurate, and he knew the stakes of the Wood Clan, and he didn't want to be easily noticed. The moonlight shone on him through the gaps in the leaves, and the silvery light set off the loneliness of his figure.
As a senior stealth master, Lin Mo has reached the pinnacle of the realm of concealment. He can use his surroundings as a cover, and he can escape between the shadows and cracks of the trees, as if he had disappeared.
Throughout the process, Lin Mo always maintained a high degree of vigilance and always paid attention to the wind and grass around him. He is well versed in the ever-changing nature of the forest and must always be on the lookout for traps and ambushes.
Under the cover of the dark night, Lin Mo drifted like a wisp of light smoke, and without a sound, he soon came to the depths of the forest. You can already feel the strong aura of heaven and earth here, and it should not be far from the base of the Mu Clan.
Lin Mo's eyes were firm, he was ready to lurk for a long time, and he must complete the task, no matter what the cost.
Lin Mo skillfully used the concealment technique and walked quietly in the Black Leaf Forest.
The atmosphere of this forest is eerie, with dense trees and foliage, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the forest is dimly lit.
The air was filled with the smell of decay, and occasionally the low roar of an unknown creature or two. Lin Mo raised his vigilance and shuttled through the shadows of the trees.
Not far ahead, Lin Mo keenly caught the sound in the trees.
Luo Yanbu made him ghostly through the jungle. Among the dense trees, he suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a clearing in the distance.
He quickly hid behind a giant tree and quietly looked in. I saw two huge green furry creatures slowly walking out of the bushes.
Two strange beasts appeared in his sight, their green fur swaying like waves, and they carried huge copper forks on their shoulders.
They have broad shoulders, three black eyes, and a steady stride, which look like some kind of mutated giant ape.
What surprised Lin Mo even more was that the two creatures were also carrying a two-meter-long black copper fork on their shoulders, with sharp forks and flashing cold light in the dim forest.
Lin Mo stared at them vigilantly, his heart full of doubts. These two creatures are distinctly highly intelligent and able to use tools.
Are they the legendary war beasts of the Ancient Tree Clan? Or some unknown creature in the forest? Lin Mo was undecided, and decided to hide his whereabouts for the time being and wait and see what happened.
Lin Mo watched the two giant beasts drift away and fell into deep thought.
These two creatures are apparently highly intelligent and capable of using weapons. Are they the war beasts trained by the Ancient Tree Clan?
Lin Mo knew that the major ethnic groups had a tradition of taming and training ancient beasts using different methods.
However, there are very few ancient beasts that can be successfully tamed, and most of them are ferocious and uncontrollable.
The black copper forks on the shoulders of these two green giant beasts increased Lin Mo's doubts even more. Does the fact that such weapons seem too cumbersome for them means that they possess far more power than ordinary people? Or is it just that they are still in the training stage, and the Treants are deliberately getting them used to carrying weights?
Lin Mo's mind was full of thoughts, trying to guess the identities of these two giant beasts. Are they the new forces of the Ancient Treants, or are they ancient creatures that have not been recorded in this forest?
In any case, their appearance increases the difficulty and risk of Lin Mo's mission. In order to avoid being discovered by them, Lin Mo decided to maintain a high level of vigilance, speed up his progress, and complete the task as soon as possible and leave the forest.
Lin Mo shuttled through the depths of the Black Leaf Forest, and the doubts in his heart had not yet dissipated, but he suddenly felt the air around him tighten.
He subconsciously stopped, and eight red long-haired beasts suddenly appeared among the trees around him. They are more delicate than their predecessors, wielding jet-black maces and displaying great sentience.
Lin Mo took a step back vigilantly, his gaze sweeping sharply over these monsters.
The red pupils reveal ferocity, as if to declare a threat to the intruder. He knew that this was not a simple coincidence, and that the appearance of these beasts must have a profound meaning.
The eight red beasts were more delicate than the green-haired beasts before them, wielding jet-black maces and displaying powerful perceptions.
They seemed to have spotted Lin Mo, and came towards Lin Mo, quickly approaching Lin Mo.
His hand flashed with small golden swords, and he watched their every move with cold eyes. Suddenly, he confronted one of the beasts and swung his sword with great precision.
A fierce battle erupted, golden sword shadows flickered, and the vicious howls of beasts echoed through the dense forest. Lin Mo's body was flexible, and each sword carried unparalleled strength, and soon, the eight beasts fell one after another. He reduced their corpses to ashes, like the silence after a fierce battle.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, and the golden sword flashed with a faint light in his hand. He did not take it lightly, and the doubts in his heart deepened for this encounter. As he left, he gave him an unusual look, as if observing everything in the forest.
After the eight red apes turned into flying ashes, Lin Mo continued to move forward quickly. On an ancient tree not far away, two figures quietly appeared, it was Longdong and Xiaohong.
They watched Lin Mo's every move intently, as if they were aware of his presence.
Long Dong frowned deeply, "This guy's concealment technique is a bit weird, we have to deal with it carefully." β
Xiaohong replied softly, "He is heading in the direction of the ancient tree, and we can't let him stop our plan." β
"Lin Mo's means are extraordinary." Long Dong narrowed his eyes, "Even eight hunting beasts can easily solve it, it seems that we underestimated him before." β
"Yes," Xiaohong nodded, a sneer on the corner of her mouth, "However, he thought that that little concealment technique could hide from the world, and he was too naΓ―ve." We've locked down his whereabouts, and as long as we keep tracking, the target will fall into my hands sooner or later. β
"Well, we must not let him take the lead again this time." Long Dong said viciously, "I've been waiting for this moment for too long, this time I must take back the treasures that belong to us with my own hands!"
Xiaohong was silent for a moment, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes. But soon she regained her usual coldness and nodded: "I know, I will complete the task."
After receiving Xiaohong's affirmative reply, Long Dong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, secretly rejoicing in his heart that the plan was about to succeed.
"Very well, now that we've identified the target, let's force that kid to break through this damn misty forest as soon as possible. Once he approaches the forbidden land, we can take action to retrieve the treasure. β
"Yes." Xiaohong's face was solemn, "But don't forget, this Black Leaf Forest is said to be full of all kinds of traps, and we must be cautious before making further moves. β
"Don't worry, I'm in control." Long Dong sneered, "What's more, there is an agreement between us in advance, you and I cooperate with tacit, and we will definitely be able to successfully break through the danger and complete the task." β
"Well, since you and I are so sure, let's go at once. Remember, no matter what happens, we must take that treasure back!"
"Of course." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Long Dong's eyes, "This time, we must not let that kid slip away from us again."
The two exchanged a meaningful look, and then quickly disappeared into the forest, following closely behind Lin Mo.
Lin Mo walked through the Black Leaf Forest, gradually approaching the hill where the mission target was located. Unbeknownst to him, in the shadow of a tall tree, a mysterious team is secretly monitoring his every move.
The group consisted of about five or six people, all dressed in gray robes and hoods that covered their faces. To prevent detection, they also performed advanced concealment techniques, blending perfectly into the shadows of the trees. The leader of the team took out a bright green spell jade plate and whispered a few spells, and the scene of Lin Mo marching immediately appeared on the plate.
"Good, we're nearing the end of the road." The leader sneered, "Continue to lock his position, and once he obtains the treasure, we will snatch it." β
The others all nodded silently and continued to monitor Lin Mo's movements through the magic plate.
Lin Mo soon came to the foot of the target hill. There was light smoke and a layer of mist. Lin Mo stood still, made a few handprints, and then took out a few small flags from his arms and inserted them into the ground.
Suddenly, golden streamers appeared around the hills, converging into a huge network of light, enveloping the entire hills. Lin Mo waved his hand again and sprinkled a few points of starlight on the light net, which was a hidden barrier he had arranged, which could confuse the sight and sound of outsiders.
Lin Mo walked along the hills, inadvertently feeling a chill. He looked around vigilantly and spotted the mysterious team.
Using ingenious spells, Lin Mo sensed the other party's position. He knew he was a master, but he didn't want to cause conflict.
After sensing the presence of the mysterious team, Lin Mo's heart was alert, and he understood that his mission had become more dangerous. So, he stopped and began to lay out formations and illusions to protect his movements.
Lin Mo took out an ancient array flag, and as he danced, the surrounding elements began to change. Circles of magic appeared around the hills, forming a solid defensive barrier. He skillfully incorporates illusions to create seemingly real scenarios that are difficult for any potential enemies to discern.
"This time the task is not easy." Lin Mo thought to himself in his heart, his eyes scanned the surroundings intently, ready to meet possible challenges at any time.
After the formation was arranged, Lin Mo set off again and walked towards the depths of the hills. He felt the strong mana fluctuations of the target Jade Jane, and was sure that it was in the half-withered ancient tree.
Lin Mo stopped in front of the ancient tree and cast a spell intently. A milky white light flew out of his hand and slowly landed on the ancient tree. As if alive, the point of light traveled across the trunk of the tree, causing a series of faint flashes of light.
The elements around the ancient tree began to change, as if they had entered another time and space. Lin Mo's spell cleverly concealed the true location of the target, making it difficult for seekers to find it easily.
After completing all this, Lin Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, and he could finally start the final task. Like a spiritual snake, he quietly passed through the light net and came to the top of the hill, locking the direction of an ancient tree.
After Lin Mo found the target ancient tree, he clasped his hands together and said something in his mouth. A milky white spot of light shot out from between his fingers, unmistakably on the canopy of the dead tree, confirming that the target was there.
Lin Mo whispered a mantra, made a few more handprints, and quietly came to the bottom of the tree and dug a soil pit at the root. Soon, he took out an old jade slip from the pit, which was engraved with a strange appearance.
"Finally got you." Lin Mo muttered to himself, carefully putting away the jade slip. At this moment, he sensed a little footsteps from behind the tree, as if someone was approaching. Lin Mo immediately cast the spell again, re-concealed his figure, and then quietly walked around to the other side of the tree.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind behind me. He turned back vigilantly, only to see a woman in green clothes walking out of the shadow of the tree, it was Ye Ying.
"Ye Ying? You're here too," Lin Mo said quietly.
"I'm Ye Ying, and I'm ordered by my master to take away the jade slip." Ye Ying said calmly, "You'd better get out of the way, so as not to be embarrassed." β
Lin Mo looked at the innocent girl in front of him, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, do you think you can stop me by yourself?"
With that, he violently exerted his mana, and grabbed Ye Ying with both hands into claws. Ye Ying's face changed, and she hurriedly jumped back a few steps to avoid the attack.
"What a strong mana! It seems that this is not good, and I must try to get him away. Ye Ying thought secretly.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Lin Mo suddenly looked into the distance, and his face changed greatly. He saw a familiar figure approaching quickly.
"Oh no, how could that guy show up at this time!" Lin Mo secretly screamed badly, and threw the last sentence to Ye Ying, "Count yourself lucky, we'll see you next time!" After saying that, he grabbed the jade slip and ran towards the forest.
Ye Ying looked at Lin Mo's back as she left in astonishment, and thought, "Is he trying to escape?" Could it be said. The task just got easier?"
Just when Ye Ying was overjoyed, a golden light suddenly shot down from the top of the tree, quickly hitting her front heart!
Ye Ying's figure was agile, and the golden light only crossed her clothes. At this moment, a small insect with a metallic luster suddenly ejected from the golden light and swooped straight towards Ye Ying's neck.
"Pests!" Ye Ying's eyes lit up, her left hand quickly grabbed the insect, and with a flick of her right hand, a sword qi cut off the golden thread wrapped around the insect's wings. I only heard the sound of "ding", and the sound of broken gold threads came into the forest.
"It's dangerous!" Ye Ying exhaled lightly, threw away the small worm in her hand, and then made a pinch, her eyes scanning the surroundings. I saw the golden worm flying through the bushes and soon disappeared.
"Hmph, it's just a mere agency." Ye Ying retracted her gaze and turned her gaze back to the jade slip she had just gotten.
However, at this moment, a beast roar suddenly sounded from the depths of the jungle, and then the ground began to tremble slightly, and a large group of strong men wearing orange belts emerged from the forest and surrounded Ye Ying.
As soon as Ye Ying dealt with the sneak attack of the golden worm, an ape roar suddenly sounded from the woods in the distance. Immediately after, the ground began to shake slightly, and a large group of strong men wearing orange belts emerged from the forest, quickly surrounding Ye Ying. (End of chapter)
