The road is vague

Chapter 445 Assassinations One by One
The Snow Dog Tribe was originally just a small tribe on the vast grasslands.

The tribe is located in the river valley area at the foot of Evergreen Mountain. Thousands of wooden houses and caves are built haphazardly and without any order. In addition to the main group of dog-headed people, the tribe is also inhabited by a small number of fox men, cat people, pig-headed people, and some humans.

Since the birth of the Northern Snow Hound King, the Snow Dog Tribe has officially become a medium-sized tribe on the grassland, completely stabilizing in this valley, multiplying more and more descendants, and continuously expanding its power.

of course.

Some people also say that the Snow Dog Club's development to this day is inseparable from the support of the Shadow Cat Club.

The kobolds of the Snow Dog Tribe didn't care about the gossip; in fact, they were proud of it. Imagining the Northern Snow Hound King subduing the high and mighty Queen Yao beneath him, the kobolds were instantly excited.

"The king hasn't come out for many days. How long are we going to maintain martial law?"

"Who knows? Ever since the King went to the Shadow Cat Tribe, he's been in a weak state. That vixen is too amazing!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hundreds of elite kobold warriors guard the massive underground castle in the center of the tribe day and night, along with a large number of blessed spirit banners.

The thieving rat was forced to emerge from the ground and looked at the blessed spirit flags, revealing a hint of solemnity.

Immediately afterward, he faintly heard the kobolds' strange laughter and noticed that the patrolling kobold soldiers were about to enter the guard area. So he immediately transformed into a series of afterimages, flashing through the dark shadows, and followed the kobold soldiers through the protected areas of many spirit banners before entering the banner formation.

It is clear that the banner formation of the Misty Clan is completely different from that of the Human Clan.

There are not many magical artifacts here, but rather they are obtained by priests through begging for the blood of demonic beasts.

Li Mo's illusory divine sense emerged from the thieving rat's body, mounted its back, and looked around with the Foolish Old Man. Then, he looked at the magnificent underground palace gate and pointed gently in this direction.

"Squeak."

The thieving rat quickly arrived at the gate of the underground palace, trying to sneak in through the crack, but it couldn't get through.

Li Mo had anticipated this. He used his insightful eyes to search for the weak points, and the subtle order and structure of the flag formation gradually emerged in his eyes. Soon, he made some progress.

"Spiritual communication is forbidden here."

Centered on the money-stealing rat, more than a dozen spiritual threads quickly faded and broke.

The thieving rat immediately used its earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape into the bunker) technique and saw a magnificent dog-headed man with his five hearts facing the sky, breathing in the essence of the sun and moon. It immediately let out a joyful cry and opened its mouth.

This is the Northern Snow Hound King.

He sensed something amiss, slowly opened his eyes, and noticed Li Mo walking out of the theft zone. His eyes widened in fury, and he gasped for breath, but he was unable to move because he was practicing breathing exercises.

"huh huh huh huh."

Li Mo looked at the Northern Snow Hound King, who was now like a lamb to the slaughter, and couldn't help but sneer.

Through his eyes, he could tell at a glance that the other party was in the process of circulating the Great Heavenly Cycle and could not move at all in order to heal his injuries.

After searching the room, they found no rare treasures, which was to be expected, as the Snow Dog Tribe was not a large tribe.

The miraculous needle flashed and disappeared in an instant, piercing the brow of the renowned Northern Snow Hound King.

The renowned Northern Snow Hound King immediately fell backward, his eyes quickly turning bloodshot and his body convulsing.

Then, with a "poof," he exploded from the inside out and died.

"Oh?"

The underground palace was filled with fragments of internal organs and blood. Li Mo had not expected that the backlash from the other party would be so severe.

After two beams of spiritual light dispelled the filth on his body, Li Mo chuckled softly and re-entered the Thief Realm. The Thief Rat silently left the Snow Dog Tribe and headed straight for the Shadow Mountains.

This Northern Snow Hound King is currently in seclusion, and it will likely be a long time before the Snow Dog Division becomes aware of it.

A few more days passed.

The thieving rat arrived at the Shadow Cat Department.

The ability to control shadows as external avatars is an innate supernatural power of the Shadow Cat. When this power is refined to its limit, one can even refine oneself into nothingness. It can be said that the Shadow Cats are born assassins of the Misty Clan.

This is also why, after learning certain information, the old dragon abandoned the idea of ​​establishing the first seven days organization based on the fox girl of Qingqiu Mountain and instead chose the Shadow Cat Division.

The thieving rat followed suit and infiltrated deep into the Shadow Cat's territory.

The Shadow Cat Tribe is, after all, one of the top ten tribes of the Misty Hundred Clans. Even though it is ranked last, it is still far superior to the Snow Dog Tribe. The Money-Stealing Rat was almost discovered several times, but fortunately, Li Mo had his reasons. His eyes could see the danger and he was able to avoid several guards and traps in time.

"Although that Shadow Cat is only a chieftain, his ability to conceal his presence is probably comparable to that of the top assassins of the First Seven Organization."

Growing increasingly cautious, Li Mo signaled the money-stealing rat to continue approaching the palace.

The two stone statues in front of the palace gate are two giant cat-men holding scepters, looking down at all living beings, and they clearly have a spiritual aura.

"Spiritual communication is forbidden here."

The two cat-like stone statues quickly returned to normalcy.

The thieving rat darted past and disappeared into the castle.

A group of lowly cat-men were discussing the theme of tonight's dinner party when the thieving rat darted to the second floor and began sniffing around.

Li Mo, holding the Spirit Illumination Sword Sheath, constantly sensed the surroundings within the world of theft.

"there!"

At his command, the thieving rat darted along the corner of the wall and arrived at an inconspicuous room, squeezing through the crack in the door.

There were several candles in the room, and a catwoman was lying on a wooden bed.

As Li Mo slowly emerged from the Thief Realm, holding the Spirit Illumination Sword Sheath, Queen Yao on the bed noticed and suddenly opened her eyes, looking at the shadow in Li Mo's hand.

She was somewhat agitated, her body seemed incredibly stiff, and her eyes were fixed on the sword sheath in Li Mo's hand.

"Oh?"

Li Mo, through the Eye of Dao, glimpsed the grand scheme of things and finally understood the consequences of Queen Yao losing her shadow.

She was as if she had been cursed with the most terrifying curse; her body was rapidly decaying, gradually turning into a zombie, and would quickly turn to ashes if exposed to sunlight.

However, at that moment, the shadows cast by the candlelight in the room began to twist and distort silently, forming eerie lines. Li Mo, who was observing Queen Yao, suddenly noticed this and leaped backward, only to find himself entangled by the invisible lines, his movements clearly restricted.

"This is... a shadow line?"

When Lü Cuicui first mastered the art of shadow lines, she taught it to him.

However, Li Mo only used it as a puppet control technique, and the number of shadow lines he could activate was limited. But the unknown object in the room instantly wove a shadow net.

Immediately afterward, under Li Mo's gaze, an enormous shadow spider appeared in the shadows beneath Queen Yao's bed.

This shadow spider, which had previously appeared to be folded up, had absolutely no thickness.

As its size gradually expanded, it became even larger than the entire room, rushing straight towards Li Mo's shadow.

Li Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

It is likely that this is a descendant of an ancient demon worshipped by the Shadow Cat Clan, whose strength has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Queen Yao lay motionless on the bed, but her eyes revealed excitement.

call!
Li Mo acted decisively, blowing out a breath of spiritual light that quickly extinguished the eerie candle in the room.

As the room plunged into darkness, the Shadow Spider vanished, and the discomfort from the restraints on his body quickly disappeared.

"What kind of ancient demon descendant is this?!"

Because he had practiced the art of shadow magic, he had some understanding of the basic concepts of shadow magic. In this completely dark environment, shadow magic would be temporarily ineffective.

"Young man, this is probably a descendant of the Luo woman. Quickly use your Zhiyang Sword to activate its spiritual illumination property!"

At this time.

A flurry of footsteps could be heard outside the room.

"Quick, the candle over there on Third Sister's side has gone out, something must have happened!"

"He did come, and this time he has no chance of escaping."

"Black Dog Monster, roar!"

Li Mo sensed several unfamiliar auras rushing towards him from the end of the corridor, and each of them possessed the cultivation level of a demon king.

In particular, one of the black-skinned leopard-men was the renowned Fighting Black Leopard King of the vast grasslands, known as a once-in-a-millennium genius of the vast grasslands. Li Mo's expression changed slightly.

"It seems that the rumor that Queen Xin of the Shadow Cat Clan is the lover of the Fighting Black Panther King is true."

This Fighting Black Panther King is extremely mysterious.

He has no tribal power and is rumored to be at the peak of the Demon King realm. While this may be an exaggeration, he is only one step away from reaching the late-stage King realm.

Just as the demon kings rushed into the room, Li Mo had already drawn his Flowing Gold Fire Sword.

The spiritual order surged forth, instantly igniting everything in the room.

"what……"

Queen Yao let out a hysterical scream as her body rapidly decayed and vanished under the light of the divine illumination. Even the giant shadow spider quickly curled up into a ball and burrowed into the shadows of the crack.

A large number of strange runes surged from the walls, resisting the power of the spiritual light.

boom!
A pillar of fire burst through the window, pouring into the dark sky and instantly illuminating the surroundings. The shadow cats on guard nearby were momentarily stunned, then rushed over.

Crack!

Li Mo transformed into lightning and rushed out of the castle, only to see countless invisible shadow arrows shooting towards him. It turned out that the statue guarding the castle gate had come back to life.

Li Mo, in his lightning-fast state, had no choice but to hastily dodge.

"Humph!"

Seeing the Fighting Black Panther King charge out, along with two Shadow Cat Queens and an unfamiliar Bear King leaping up, and thousands of cat people rapidly surrounding him from afar, Li Mo dared not delay any longer. He used the Demon Shadow Mask to withstand the dense shadow arrows, detonated a lightning crystal within his body, and activated Thunderous Transformation.

puff! puff! puff! puff!
In that brief moment, the dense barrage of shadow arrows nearly pinned Li Mo to the ground like a hedgehog, exceeding the maximum tolerance of the Shadow Mask and causing him considerable injury. He was forced to reposition and protect his vital internal organs.

Suppressing his injuries, he transformed into a streak of black light and flew away into the distance.

Upon seeing this, the Fighting Black Panther King also suddenly accelerated, appearing to be almost as fast as Li Mo in his Thunderous Transformation state.

Why are you running?

Upon hearing this, Li Mo glanced sideways at the powerful member of the Misty Clan, who was about a hundred feet away behind him.

The other Shadow Cat Queen and Bear King who chased after him couldn't help but feel utterly inadequate in comparison.

"So fast."

No sooner had Queen Xin finished speaking than Li Mo detonated another lightning crystal, and the lightning surged and burst outwards, its speed increasing dramatically once again.

"you!!"

After chasing for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Fighting Black Panther King finally had to stop as the distance between them gradually increased, giving up with a gloomy face.

After a while.

Queen Xin arrived with Queen Yu and the Steel-Maned War Bear King, and looked at the gloomy-faced Fighting Black Panther King.

"If we let him get away, then this old black dog monster's strength is probably no less than mine."

Upon hearing the Black Panther King's words, Queen Xin and Queen Yu's expressions darkened. This time, the Shadow Cat Tribe had indeed provoked a formidable enemy.

"The human cultivators of the Qian Kingdom are so powerful."

From Queen Xin's perspective, this was clearly an internal power struggle between two factions in the Great Qian Kingdom, but it unexpectedly caused a dramatic change in the Thousand Ridges region, drawing the Shadow Cat Tribe into the vortex.

Now that Queen Yao is dead and the core members of the First Seventh Division have suffered heavy casualties, the cooperation between the Shadow Cat Division and the First Seventh Organization has come to a complete end.
