The road is vague

Chapter 408 Sincere Devotion
Following the instructions of the Great Elder of the Rabbit People on Acorn Island, Li Mo rode the Black Phoenix and flew towards the western sea.

The black phoenix transformed into a giant bird, spread its wings and soared at incredible speed, covering hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.

Wearing the Shadow Mask, wielding the "Dark Thunder Heavenly Book," and carrying the Golden Flame Sword with its Spirit Illumination Sheath, Li Mo activated his True Spirit Eye, gazing intently at the vast ocean in search of the Sea King Beast's whereabouts.

The reason why the Ruo Huo Liu Jin Sword has such power that it can burn mountains and boil seas is not only because of its extraordinary material, but also because it was forged and fused with the spine of the True Demon clone. However, it also relies heavily on the nourishment of the Ling Zhao Sword Sheath.

This sword sheath was obtained by Li Mo during his exploration of the hidden space of the ancient Lingzhao Mountain tomb.

Only when a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage can they begin to unleash the power of this half of the Heaven-Reaching Treasure. It seems that when this treasure was being crafted, there was originally a matching sword.

However, judging from the power currently displayed by the Flowing Gold and Fire Sword, if it could be nourished by this scabbard for several hundred years, even if it couldn't compare to a true Heavenly Treasure, it would probably be no less powerful than those imitation treasures.

"Black Phoenix, tell me about the basic layout of the East Ridge Wasteland."

Finding traces of the Sea King Beast depends on luck. With nothing else to do, Li Mo asked Black Phoenix for relevant information about the area, at least to plan his next steps.

"The Wasteland is what humans call this place. The Hundred Races are more accustomed to calling it the Misty Land, the Land of a Thousand Ridges, and so on. This is an overseas wild island. To the west is the territory of the Golden War Lion Clan. As the number one royal family in the world, the Golden War Lion Clan's Sun Palace shines in all directions. The War Bear, Cheetah, and Black Eagle, three of the ten major clans, are all nearby, guarding against powerful enemies across the Forbidden Sea. If you want to go to the Nine Fox Clan's Green Hill Mountains, you must choose a territory to pass through."

"Sun Palace".

Li Mo murmured to himself.

He was quite curious about the Sun Palace, which the Misty Box had mentioned countless times, but now was definitely not the time for him to explore it, so he sighed and gave up.

The remaining three groups need to carefully consider where to pass through.

"After that, there are two routes to choose from. One is to traverse the vast marshland and the ten thousand mountains to reach the Qingqiu Mountains. The other is to traverse the territory of the Peacock Clan, the sworn enemy of the Nine Fox Clan. Both are royal families, but the Peacock Clan is extremely unfriendly to humans. Nearby are the Centaur Clan and the Shadow Cat Clan, two of the ten major clans..."

As Black Phoenix slowly recounted the story, Li Mo finally gained a basic understanding of the Eastern Ridge region.

The entire Eastern Ridge region appears to be even more vast than the Lost Continent, vaguely showing four major areas.

In addition to the areas controlled by the three royal families, there is also a vast and desolate grassland.

This place is a melting pot of various races, including a large number of humans who join forces with the local ethereal races to fight against the humans from the Seven Kingdoms who come to hunt for pills from time to time.

The purpose of the Great Qian Kingdom in establishing the teleportation array was ostensibly to support the Seven Kingdoms in their struggle against the Lu Kingdom, but in reality, it was to ensure that both sides would suffer heavy losses.

This way.

The already complex situation of the Hundred Clans of the Misty Lands would undoubtedly become even more complicated if the power of the Great Qian Kingdom were to intervene.

At this time.

Li Mo suddenly noticed a group of enormous creatures appearing in the distant sea.

"found it!"

These sea monsters, chasing and playing, were clearly unaware of the impending danger. However, Li Mo had not come here to kill; he only wanted to use the Heart-Devouring Thunder to control these sea monsters and help the rabbit people on Acorn Island cross the sea and overcome their current difficulties.

A month later.

The vast Acorn Island sank completely into the sea before the eyes of tens of thousands of rabbit people.

The rabbit people on the makeshift, makeshift ship couldn't help but cover their faces and weep upon seeing this scene. Even the elite rabbit people on the Sea King's beast horde couldn't help but show their sadness.

From then on, they would begin their wandering journeys.

At this time.

Several rabbit-people elders walked over at the same time and jointly offered tribute to Li Mo on the deck of the ship.

This ship was built under the personal supervision of Liao Qunan, and it was considered the best of the ships that were rushed to completion.

"Thank you for your mercy, my lord, for your hard work in taming these sea monsters. These treasures were left by the rabbit chieftain two hundred years ago. Please accept them, my lord."

The group had more items in their hands: three magical artifact materials, a Thunder Ring magical artifact, and a century-old spirit wine from the altar.

Qianqian noticed that her father was giving her a meaningful look, so she quickly moved closer to Li Mo.

She pressed her soft body against Li Mo's arm, revealing her graceful curves.

"Master, this is all out of kindness from the Jade Rabbit Clan, please accept it."

Li Mo smiled gently.

"In that case, I will accept it."

In front of everyone, he took the Thunder Ring magic weapon first, manipulated it for a while, and then lost interest in this unorthodox magic weapon.

It's clear that the rabbit chieftain wasn't very strong back then; he only managed to seal the Black Phoenix by sheer luck. No wonder it took a life to deal with such a guy.

So he opened the "Book of Dark Thunder".

To the astonishment of the rabbit-man elders, Li Mo fed the magical artifact to the evil spirit in the book.

As for the other three magical artifact materials, they were all ordinary items, each worth a few thousand spirit stones. However, Li Mo had brought back a large number of related demon beast materials from the Lost Continent in his storage bracelet, intending to make a fortune after returning to the Great Qian Kingdom, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

These few jars of spirit wine, however, had an unparalleled flavor, which greatly pleased Li Mo.

"Since you have chosen to follow me, I will naturally do my utmost to ensure your safety on the journey ahead. It's getting late, let's set sail!"

At Li Mo's command, more than a dozen simple ships and sea monsters set sail westward.

"Thousand-Faced King, Princess Dai, Fellow Daoist Golden Turtle, Fellow Daoist Zhao, Fellow Daoist Liao, come and savor this delicious wine."

"it is good."

The group drank together on the deck. Jin Gui Dao Ren and Zhao Ping An each had a beautiful bunny girl sitting next to them, while Liao Qu Nan was surrounded by two bunny girls, enjoying their service, having food and wine served to him. He was quite carefree and happy.

While enjoying Qianqian's service, Li Mo glanced at Liao Qunan.

"Fellow Daoist Liao, these ships were completed in a rush to meet the deadline. Although they have now taken away all the rabbit people on the island, in your opinion, if they encounter storms, can these ships survive?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Qunan slightly pushed aside the two rabbit girls on either side, revealing a somewhat solemn expression.

"Time is too tight, and the quality of these ships is really worrying. If we really encounter a storm..."

He didn't say anything more, he just shook his head helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the bunny girls on the table all showed nervous expressions. Qianqian looked at Li Mo pleadingly, while Li Mo calmly looked at the Thousand-Faced King. "Thousand-Faced King, with your strength, can you avert this calamity?"

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced King put down his wine glass and slowly shook his head.

"Although I am already a mid-stage Great Demon King, the talent of the Thousand-Faced Bird Clan lies in walking the world, not in eliminating troubles and disasters. I am afraid I am not capable enough to deal with storms."

From the Golden Core stage onwards, by mastering various forms of order, one already has the initial possibility of confronting nature.

Generally speaking, only those who reach the Nascent Soul stage and can draw upon the power of heaven and earth can truly be considered capable of confronting nature.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo sighed and offered some words of comfort to the stunning bunny girl beside him.

Although he knew it was a honey trap set by the rabbit-man, the woman was indeed incredibly alluring and delightful, which he found quite enjoyable.

"It seems that only the next person can give it a try. Let's hope our luck won't be too bad."

His Fiery Golden Sword has some connection to the order of the sun, and it could be somewhat effective in combating ocean storms.

"Giggle."

Princess Dai suddenly chuckled softly. Her mature and graceful charm was truly breathtaking, forming a stark contrast with the innocent and adorable bunny girls around her.

"Fellow Daoist Li seems to have forgotten me?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo's eyes lit up.

Princess Dai gently swirled the crystal glass in her hand, and with a captivating smile, said, "I have a secret treasure called the Wind Bag. Unless it is the divine wind in the Forbidden Sea, it is certainly more than capable of fighting against ordinary natural wind disasters."

Li Mo looked expectant, and the bunny girls who were accompanying him also smiled broadly upon hearing this.

More than ten days later.

The once calm sea gradually became turbulent.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. A sudden storm formed almost instantly. The simple hull creaked and groaned, and the rabbit people trembled and prayed.

Unfortunately, their spirit-summoning techniques have been lost.

Upon seeing this, Princess Dai immediately leaped into the air, revealing her true form as a giant bird. She produced a dusty gray pouch from which an astonishing gale erupted, engulfing the nearby sea and forming a massive tornado.

The group, located in the eye of the storm, immediately felt the wind and waves subside.

Even so, these ships were still in grave danger because they were so rudimentary.

Upon seeing this, Li Mo let out a low shout and leaped into the air, quickly rushing into the clouds at the eye of the storm, where he drew the Flowing Gold Fire Sword from his back.

All of a sudden.

A surging heatwave burst forth, spreading in all directions, like a small sun forcefully pushing aside the surrounding dark clouds. In the eye of the storm, the sun shone directly down from the sky.

"it is good!"

"Great!"

"Thank you, Lord, for saving my life..."

The rabbits bowed and thanked him on the deck, and for a time they regarded Li Mo as a god.

After this incident, the rabbit people no longer felt any resistance to seeking refuge with these outsiders, and they even became grateful to Qianqian, who had taken the blame for them.

If it weren't for her selfless sacrifice, the rabbit people might have disappeared along with Acorn Island.

Qianqian's feelings were extremely complicated.

She initially compromised and served this person to the best of her ability simply because she wanted to survive.

However, now that she has gained the respect and recognition of her people, she has developed an indescribable feeling that has made her unable to extricate herself from it. It seems that her initial willingness to compromise has turned into a willingness to accept it.

She knew that her current status was given to her by this human being.

Therefore, she began to carefully observe everything about Li Mo, wanting to do everything she could to win his favor. No matter what request he made, she would do her best to fulfill it.

Fortunately, this person is gentle and has a good sense of proportion; he is not a tyrannical person, nor is he difficult to serve.

As she got to know him better, she even developed an inexplicable feeling for him. Compared to her brother Zhu Ri, who was full of passion and acted impulsively, this person seemed to have a more mature charm that made her unable to extricate herself.

As the dilapidated fleet and the Sea King gradually approached the shore, the rabbit people climbed onto the beach and celebrated with their feet firmly planted on the ground.

"We survived!"

Is this the mainland?

“This place is so big…”

After looking around from the air, Li Mo noticed a small tribe in the distance, which seemed to be inhabited by local people. So he immediately returned to the ground and gave orders to Black Phoenix.

"Go and grab those two prisoners over there."

"Yes."

After a while.

Black Phoenix returned, carrying a kobold and a pig-headed man, and threw them in front of Li Mo.

The kobold looked at the humans in front of him with a look of terror on his face, appearing extremely apprehensive.

The pig-headed man noticed the rabbit-men, women, and children packing their belongings on a ship in the distance. His eyes widened, and he licked his lips, revealing an undisguised greed.

"This, this, this is... the Jade Rabbit Clan?"

As Black Phoenix transformed back into Hawkgirl and coldly looked at the two, the kobolds and pig-headed men finally realized what was happening and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy.

They were just ordinary people from a small tribe.

Rather than hoping for the strong members of their clan to come to their rescue, they might as well hope that the other party would take pity on them.
