The road is vague

Chapter 410 Fire Sword Slaying the Lion
Autumn is the harvest season for all the major hunting groups.

As one of the top hunting groups in Hai'an City, Chief Chijin, the leader of the Grassland King Hunting Group, learned that a large number of rabbit people were migrating through the area after returning from hunting demon cores. He immediately led his group members to chase after them despite the difficulties and dangers.

In the market, a high-quality bunny girl can fetch at least several thousand taels of silver.

If what other hunting groups said is true, and there are at least several thousand rabbit people here, he doesn't even dare to imagine how many hunting groups it would attract to track him down.

He encountered many hunting party corpses along the way, but these warnings did not deter Chief Red Gold.

As a member of the Golden War Lion Clan, Chief Crimson Gold's decision to establish a hunting party was made at the behest of the Crimson Gold War Lion King deep in the grasslands.

Chief Crimson Gold rode his Flame Giant Lizard all the way here. As the long army of rabbitmen came into view, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"The Grassland Kings Hunting Group is here! Rabbit people ahead, you followed the Tiger People and wreaked havoc on the Thousand Ridges Land back then, and now you dare to show yourselves in the Thousand Ridges Land again? Then wait for the Golden War Lion Clan to settle accounts with you, hahahaha!"

As the Crimson Gold Chieftain roared, the rabbitmen in the distance immediately showed expressions of terror.

The king's praise was already evident in the eyes of the chieftain of the Crimson Gold.

"There are so many rabbit people!"

Black Fatty, a pig-headed man carrying a battle axe, had his eyes light up when he saw these rabbit-men, and murmured with delight.

As one of the three chieftains of the Grassland King Hunting Group, unlike the group leader who was eager to make achievements, he only wanted to indulge in pleasure. Therefore, the moment he saw these rabbit people, his mind was filled with all kinds of pleasurable scenes, and a lewd smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

The one-eyed wolf warrior revealed a hint of caution and confusion.

"Where did all these rabbit-people come from? How could they appear here in broad daylight? Are they crazy?"

"Hey you one-eyed wretch, why are you such a spoilsport!"

"The black-fat war pig said angrily."

at this time.

Suddenly, several figures flew out from the distant rabbit herd and attacked this side.

Upon seeing this, Chief Crimson Gold immediately patted the Flame Lizard beneath him, and dense fire elemental energy gathered from all directions, causing the nearby temperature to rise sharply and the grass to wither rapidly.

The members of the hunting party were already familiar with this, and they all retreated in all directions.

Roar!
An astonishing pillar of flame shot into the sky, heading straight for the group of people.

A small sun suddenly appeared in the sky, and its powerful fire spirit light bloomed in all directions. It not only easily destroyed the continuously spewing pillars of flame, but also launched a counterattack against the ground while braving the pillars of flame.

Sparks flew wherever the little sun passed.

The Crimson Gold Chieftain, who had been arrogantly sneering, suddenly changed his expression upon seeing this.

He disregarded the giant fire lizard beneath him and immediately charged away at top speed.

The fire giant lizard felt the terrifying spiritual pressure that was impossible to stop in the air, and its eyes immediately showed a look of horror. It immediately stopped breathing fire and shook its head and tail to try to escape, but it was too late.

boom!
A terrifying heatwave erupted in all directions, creating a massive crater in the earth. The fire lizard, which was wagging its tail and trying to escape, was engulfed by the flames and let out a shrill scream as it was burned alive.

Members of the King of the Grasslands hunting party, who were some distance away, were stunned by what they saw.

A kobold stood with its mouth agape, unaware that its weapon had fallen from its hand.

"Human race!?"

"How did they get here?!"

Upon recognizing Li Mo and the others as humans, some members of the hunting groups instinctively had a thought.

The humans from the Seven Kingdoms have actually crossed the Qingqiu Mountains and the southern lands to capture slaves here?

While the strength of Venerable Jin Gui, Zhao Ping'an, and Liao Qu Nan might not seem significant on the Central Continent, they were still Golden Core cultivators. Coupled with the Black Phoenix's raid and the Rabbit-Man warriors' onslaught, even without the Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai's intervention, Li Mo and the others had gained an overwhelming advantage.

Roar!
With a lion's roar, the golden shockwave was so powerful that even Li Mo, who had transformed into lightning, was involuntarily pushed back dozens of feet and lost his footing in the air.

But that's all.

Affected by this, Li Mo's face was painted with the makeup of various clowns and actors. After the minor injuries were absorbed by the Demon Shadow Mask, they were almost instantly healed for the True Demon clone.

"The innate abilities of the Golden War Lion clan are indeed extraordinary."

After muttering something in a low voice, Li Mo suddenly let out a cold laugh.

boom!
The Fiery Sword descended from the sky, instantly shattering the earth. Flaming shockwaves spread in all directions, rapidly withering the grasslands and setting them ablaze.

Although Chief Crimson Gold managed to avoid the flames thanks to his speed, he was in a very sorry state.

With a casual gesture, Li Mo sent the Flowing Gold Fire Sword floating up from the crater.

All of a sudden.

The flames from all directions were completely absorbed by the flying sword, making it even brighter and more dazzling. Only a huge crater, over twenty feet long, remained on the ground, with lava flowing silently inside.

Seeing that the scorching sun was still chasing after it, the Crimson Gold War Lion actually used both its hands and feet to escape into the distance.

The Flowing Gold and Fire Sword is simply too powerful.

Although this crimson-gold war lion possessed the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage, it was impossible for it to confront it head-on. It could only rely on the speed brought by its powerful physique to dodge left and right like a clown.

Seeing the terrifying strength of this human, the Crimson Gold War Lion couldn't help but reveal deep fear in its eyes.

This is not the way to go.

After fleeing for a while, the Crimson Gold War Lion suddenly let out a loud roar, leaped up with its battle axe in hand, and concentrated all its power into this one strike, which struck the tip of the Flowing Gold Like Fire Sword, producing a resounding golden sound.

"what……"

The Crimson Gold War Lion felt as if its entire body was being roasted by intense heat.

Putting aside the sword's sharpness, its fire elemental power was far too domineering, forcibly penetrating his protective aura and causing him unbearable pain.

Then, the battle axe in his hand gradually melted and shattered.

The Crimson Gold War Lion's pupils contracted, and it immediately retreated with all its might. Its vast energy formed a protective golden light on its body, but it still could not shake off the Flowing Gold Fire Sword.

Crack!

Li Mo transformed into lightning and suddenly appeared atop the crimson-gold war lion, extending his right hand and grabbing with his five fingers.

The crimson-gold war lion raised its head, its eyes shooting out two beams of golden light, like two sharp swords. An ordinary opponent caught off guard would likely be in real danger.

However, at this moment, with the blessing of the Demon Shadow Mask, Li Mo's Five Thunders Turn to Dust, with its almost unstoppable power, instantly destroyed the two golden lights, hitting the crimson-gold war lion directly, paralyzing it in place, and frantically annihilating and weakening its protective golden light.

Poof!
The Flowing Gold Flame Sword flashed past, piercing through the body of the Crimson Gold War Lion. The Crimson Gold War Lion stared blankly at Li Mo.

With almost no struggle, the renowned leader of the grassland hunting party, the King of the Grasslands, turned into ashes in front of Li Mo, leaving only a wisp of demon core on the ground.

Li Mo beckoned and used his spiritual light to shoot the ethereal demon core over, which he then stored in his storage ring.

The flames from all directions were extinguished as the Flowing Gold Fiery Sword was sheathed, leaving only large and small craters and the ashes around them.

The rabbits who had been watching anxiously from afar were overjoyed and cheered in celebration.

A figure landed beside the crater not far away.

"Truly worthy of being called Fellow Daoist Li."

The Thousand-Faced King approached the roasted fire giant lizard, grabbed a piece of roasted meat, and began to savor it methodically.

He seemed to find the taste quite good, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows under the mask.

"I wonder how many cultivators like you are in the Great Qian Kingdom?"

Li Mo also grabbed a piece of monitor lizard meat and tasted it.

He had assumed the monitor lizard was burnt, but it seemed that because the monitor lizard had extremely high fire resistance, its meat was surprisingly delicious when roasted in the flames, which surprised him.

Unfortunately, this giant lizard did not have a demon core, and was most likely a descendant of some ancient great demon.

"There are countless geniuses in the Great Qian Dynasty, but only those who advance to the Nascent Soul stage can be considered to have truly distinguished themselves. And someone like me..."

Li Mo shook his head and sighed.

"It's not presentable enough to be discussed in public."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand-Faced King's eyes twitched slightly, but he remained silent, lost in thought.

Li Mo sucked on the grease on his hands one last time, using the object's spiritual light to dispel the grime. He glanced at the fleeing members of the Grassland King's Hunting Group, but showed no intention of giving chase. Instead, he turned his head to look in another direction, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"With the dozen or so savage beasts over there, the journey will definitely speed up from here on out. It seems we no longer need to consider abandoning the old, young, sick and disabled rabbit people."

"Indeed."

The Thousand-Faced King clapped his hands and watched Li Mo leave with the "Dark Thunder Heavenly Book" in his hand.

Two hours later.

As Li Mo led the large group of savage beasts back, the rabbit people gathered around, looking at these enormous creatures with a mixture of fear and awe.

Qianqian had become a hero in the eyes of the rabbit people. When she saw Li Mo drive the giant beasts back, she immediately understood Li Mo's intention. So she quickly came to Li Mo's side and pressed her petite and charming body as close to Li Mo's chest as possible.

"Young master, these giant beasts are terrifying. Are they used to help us travel?"

"of course."

Li Mo smiled slightly.

He put his arm around Qianqian's slender, boneless waist, while making the savage beast with huge ram horns in front of him slowly squat down, gesturing to the many rabbit people who had come to watch.

"Let's put all the food on these beasts, and also let the elderly, women, and children who are slow on their feet ride on them. We must leave this place as soon as possible!"

The rabbit elders immediately set about making arrangements.

Golden Turtle Master, Zhao Ping'an, and Liao Qu'nan all showed their abilities in the previous battle, but their main goal was to adapt to the innate combat power of the Hundred Clans of the Misty Land. At this moment, they were excitedly exchanging ideas with each other.

"Master, as you requested, I have collected their elixirs."

Black Phoenix arrived carrying dozens of ethereal demon cores. He carefully stored away the low-level demon cores, as well as the two Golden Core stage ethereal demon cores.

There was one more thing he hadn't forgotten.

That is, before condensing the Nascent Soul, one uses pills to refine pills, refining a Golden Core stage ethereal pill to provide foundational support for one's dual cultivation of body and spirit.

After a while.

As the earth shook with rumbling and crashing sounds, the rabbits continued their migration, moving at a much faster pace than before.

Not long after the rabbit tribe left, another group of greedy people arrived, drawn by the news.

"They're from the King of the Grasslands' hunting party!"

"This, this is the Crimson Gold War Lion's Flame Giant Lizard mount?"

"Dead, all dead..."

Upon seeing the corpses of the members of the King of the Grasslands' hunting party, these demons from various races dared not make any further moves.

Meanwhile, some members of the Grassland King's Beast Hunting Group who had escaped back to Hai'an City said that this was a human slave-hunting group that had actually ventured deep into the heart of the Thousand Ridges and captured a large number of rabbit-people, intending to take them back to the human kingdom.

Rumors spread like wildfire throughout Hai'an City.

This includes the fact that the human army has already crossed the Death Storm and is launching a major offensive against the vast grasslands.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

No matter what, the Jade Rabbit Clan was still a member of the Hundred Misty Clans. The other Misty Clans would not stand idly by and watch humans hunt on a large scale. So, the demons of the Hundred Clans in Hai'an City spontaneously gathered together, eagerly signed up, and prepared to besiege this human slave-hunting group.

This even alarmed a snake-man king who was cultivating nearby!
However, when tens of thousands of demons came in pursuit, they found that the humans had already led the rabbit people into the Needle Ridge area of ​​the bear people and disappeared into the vast snow.

Because of its high altitude, winter arrives earlier each year at the Zhenye Ridge.

This snake-man king was extremely weary of the cold and unwilling to continue.

All the demons and monsters of all races turned their gazes toward the snake king.

"Purple-Scaled Serpent King, are we just going to let them go like this?"

Upon hearing this, the snake-man king gazed at the vast snow-capped mountains in the distance, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Hiss, this is the territory of the War Bear Clan. As far as I know, the Bloodthirsty War Bear King's wife seems to be a rabbit girl. As long as we spread the news here, with that rabbit girl whispering in his ear, I believe those hot-tempered bear people will definitely handle this matter well."

"Bloodthirsty War Bear King!"

"Hiss, is that the Bear King who's known as the strongest among all races?"

Upon hearing the name of the Bloodthirsty War Bear King, the myriad races gathered here couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, followed by excited smiles.

The fact that the Bearmen are now one of the top ten races is at least half due to this bloodthirsty war bear king.
