The road is vague

Chapter 414 Queen of the Night
As one of the ten largest races among the myriad races of the Hundred Clans, the Demon Cat Clan, though ranked last, is by no means weak.

There are more than thirty tribes of varying sizes within the tribe.

The Thunder Cat tribe, skilled in taming thunderbirds, can mobilize several chieftains at once, making them one of the strongest tribes among the many tribes of the Demon Cat clan.

"Among the three queens of the Demon Cat Clan, Queen Xiaoyue is the strongest, followed by Queen Anying and Queen Heiye. Now that the Thunder Cat Clan has lost so many people at once, it will surely attract the attention of the three queens. It will probably not be an easy task for you to lead so many rabbit people to the Qingqiu Mountains."

Su Rui, the elder of the Wind Fox Clan, spoke with a solemn expression.

The implication in her words was clear: she wanted Li Mo to give up on these rabbit-people.

Qianqian, standing to the side, couldn't help but look nervous. She moved closer to Li Mo, pressing her proud breasts against his arm, her eyes pleading.

Li Mo shook his head. Now that he was already here, he naturally couldn't abandon these rabbit people.

Seeing this, Su Rui sighed.

"There is another way, which is for me to do my best to get to the Minotaur tribe. King Bloodhoof is the closest to here, so please ask him to lead a team of Minotaurs to provide support as soon as possible."

The Minotaur Clan is one of the ten major clans, far stronger than the Demon Cat Clan. They have always maintained good relations with the Nine-Fox Clan, while being mortal enemies with the Centaur Clan.

The two sides have been fighting on the Nanshan Grassland for thousands of years, and both have royal families as their backers.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you."

After Li Mo made his choice, Elder Su Rui nodded and quickly left.

After activating the Wind Fox Body, Su Rui quickly disappeared into the vast mountains.

She wasn't worried about this envoy from the Great Qian Dynasty. After witnessing his strength firsthand, she was certain that even the three queens of the Demon Cat Clan would not be able to kill him easily.

They truly deserve to be called the strongest among the six great empires of the human race.

What she needs to consider now is how to gain the envoy's friendship, and how to secure more benefits for Windfox City in future interactions between the two sides.

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought.

"Three queens skilled in assassination."

He hadn't even dealt with the old assassin who had died seven days prior, and now he had offended three more ethereal demon king assassins. He shook his head helplessly.

It seems he and these assassins skilled in assassination are truly destined to be enemies.

If it were in the past, he would have been quite intimidated.

But now that they have the Shadow Mask, these assassins' sneak attacks are perfectly countered by this magical artifact. As long as they are not killed in one blow, these assassins' head-on combat skills are far inferior to those of their peers.

Ten days later.

The rabbits traveled westward, gradually approaching the Qingqiu Mountains.

This night.

The area around the tent where Li Mo was meditating and resting seemed to be subtly influenced by a hidden order.

The rabbits in deep sleep felt like they were sleeping incredibly soundly. Even the spirit stone lamps seemed to dim considerably, and everything around them became incredibly quiet and peaceful. It was as if they had fallen into eternal oblivion in the darkness, completely relaxed.

A catwoman wearing a veil looked at Li Mo inside the tent.

Her figure was graceful and upright, and every step she took seemed to be walking on the strings of a melody in the night. Her pert buttocks were even more prominent with her elegant cat-like steps.

She went straight to Li Mo's side, and the cold light of the dagger in her hand reflected a green ghost face.

No one around them seemed to notice anything amiss.

"Another human talent's soul is about to be harvested. Ah... a brilliant life that should have had a bright future, and life is gone just like that. This wonderful feeling is truly irresistible."

The catwoman's slender fingers brushed across Li Mo's cheek, but Li Mo was completely unaware of it.

As the dagger, reflecting a green ghost face, lightly grazed Li Mo's neck, Li Mo's eyes widened instantly, as if he had come to his senses, and he looked incredulously at the catwoman so close to him.

Catwoman smiled sweetly and made a shushing gesture at Li Mo, which was both slightly mischievous and somewhat wicked.

Li Mo felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace, and even death no longer seemed so frightening.

At this time.

The demonic mask on Li Mo's face suddenly revealed the painted faces of various characters, not only transferring the fatal wound on Li Mo's neck to the body of the true demon clone, but also absorbing most of that strange sense of relaxation and ease, causing a subconscious sense of crisis to surge in like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, the clarity associated with the "Eye of the True Spirit" technique emerged.

Li Mo felt a cool sensation in his soul and instantly became aware of his current situation.

Queen of the Night?

Li Mo murmured in shock.

He was already being careful and wary of the other party's methods, and even set up a flag trap and had the thieving rat and the foolish old man keep watch in the dark, but he did not expect that the other party would still enter as if there was no one there.

That dagger was also quite sinister; it was actually an evil spirit.

Just as the Queen of the Night finished doing all this and was preparing to leave calmly, Li Mo suddenly shouted and unexpectedly reached out his right hand to touch his forehead. The dualistic chaotic lightning drew upon the power of heaven and earth and vanished in a flash.

Under this overwhelming pressure from heaven and earth, even a trace of it was a fatal threat to a low-level king of the Misty Clan. The Night Queen felt her body suddenly stiffen, and the world in her eyes seemed to lose its color, leaving only a monotonous black and white outline. An indescribable sense of crisis enveloped her.

Although it was only for a brief moment, she regained consciousness, but it was already too late.

Crack!

A flash of two-colored lightning, drawing upon a trace of the power of heaven and earth, struck the Night Queen squarely in the back. She let out a shrill scream as her body was sent flying, tearing the tent apart and seemingly bringing the eerie, tranquil surroundings back to reality.

The rabbits were terrified, while the Thousand-Faced King and Queen Dai rushed into the darkness.

"What's wrong?" "What happened?!"

"Quickly, bring a torch..."

When Li Mo was escorted by the crowd to the crater, the Night Queen had already disappeared. Li Mo's expression was still somewhat grim. This was an assassination method completely different from that of the old assassin who had been killed seven days prior.

After half a stick of incense.

The Thousand-Faced King and Princess Dai flew in human form.

The two looked at Li Mo and slowly shook their heads.

"She has mastered a technique that allows her to escape without leaving a trace in the dark. She has already escaped. It seems that she must be the Night Queen that the fox woman mentioned."

"kindness."

Li Mo sighed, no longer daring to underestimate the Hundred Clans of the Misty Realm.

These are just the strong individuals from ordinary major clans. Even if the three royal clans are not as powerful as the Blood Dragon Clan across the Forbidden Sea, they are definitely not far behind.

Fortunately, the Queen of the Night has been severely injured by him and should not be able to cause any more trouble in the short term.

More than ten days later.

The rabbit people finally left the mountains and came to the endless grasslands.

Spring has arrived, and the place is exceptionally beautiful. The rabbits walk and sing, completely immersed in its beauty.

However, the rabbit elders were in a dilemma.

Their food supplies were running out, and unlike the previous times, the money they had brought from Acorn Island was almost gone, leaving them with no more money to buy new food.

So the elders approached Li Mo and explained their current predicament.

"I see."

Li Mo said in a low voice, "Since you have already pledged allegiance to me, I will naturally not stand idly by when you encounter difficulties. After we pass through this dangerous area where the Minotaur and Centaur tribes alternately control the land, I will try to gather a batch of food for you. However, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. Even after you have a safe place to live, you will still need to rely on your own efforts to survive."

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon hearing this, many of the rabbit elders bowed in reverence.

Two days later.

What Li Mo feared still happened.

Thousands of people surrounded the rabbit people, including many cat people who wielded daggers and loomed about, waiting for their chance to strike.

The rabbits were surrounded in the center, their ranks somewhat scattered, and they stood in tense confrontation.

But they also knew that they could not escape by their own strength alone. These humans were the kings of the grasslands, with the upper body of humans and the lower body of horses. Their speed and endurance far surpassed those of the rabbit people. They wielded weapons and moved with sweeping, powerful strokes, constantly narrowing the encirclement.

Riding on the black phoenix, Li Mo activated his True Spirit Eye and looked around, his expression equally solemn.

In this wasteland, large-scale wars involving tens of thousands of people are commonplace, with tribes frequently mobilizing their entire populations, making it a veritable war for all.

In human kingdoms, especially the Great Qian Kingdom, this situation almost never occurs. Even during the most difficult period of the century-long war with the Lu Kingdom, each sect would leave behind a group of disciples as a legacy.

Amidst this stampeding herd of horses and men, Li Mo sensed a powerful aura, seemingly confronting the Thousand-Faced King.

"Mid-level King?"

The centaur king was immediately startled.

He stared intently at the human wearing the silver mask, not daring to make a move.

Even the Shadow Queen, whose shadow and true form were constantly shifting, was intimidated by Princess Dai's aura and led the Shadow Cats to hesitate to make a move.

They knew nothing about these powerful strangers.

Once the two sides engage in battle, the outcome is uncertain, but the little ones below will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If the enemy were the fox clan or the bull-headed clan, it would be fine, but they happen to be a group of rabbit people. It's really not worth sending our warriors to exchange their lives with these rabbit people.

Therefore, neither the Earthly Fiend King nor the Shadow Queen issued an attack order.

Li Mo then realized that the people he had brought from the Lost Continent had already gained the strength to threaten the major clans. If he could manage these rabbit people well and establish a balance among the surrounding forces, his mission would be accomplished.

that's it.

After a stalemate lasting half an hour, a group of minotaurs appeared on the distant grasslands, galloping towards them.

"Hahahaha!"

Before anyone even sat down, a burst of laughter arrived first.

The Earthly Fiend King and the Shadow Queen, who were still hesitating, both changed their expressions.

"It's Bloodhoof!"

"withdraw!"

The centaurs and cat people who had surrounded the rabbit people for half an hour all fled into the distance.

Seeing this, Li Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After so many years of hardships and setbacks, he can finally officially begin his construction mission.

Before that, he needed to go to Silver Fox City to find out if the people from the Spirit Eye Sect were still there.
