Chapter 143 Lion Ape!

Boom boom boom!

"Hold on tight!"

He loudly reminded Mu Li.

Shen Mo twisted the throttle, rode the Broken Mountain, and traversed the wasteland roads west of Mugu City.

Upon hearing this, Mu Li wrapped her arms around Shen Mo's waist and pressed her body tightly against his back.

Compared to other parts of Dusk Valley City, the environment in the north of the city is the most complex.

The mountains are rolling, the vegetation is lush, and the roads are winding and difficult to travel.

Moreover, this was Shen Mo's first time visiting the north of the city.

If it weren't for the detailed map of the area surrounding Dusk Valley City in the Golden Badge, Shen Mo would probably have gotten lost in this mountain forest.

An hour later, Shen Mo brought Mu Li to the MG-N-1 outpost.

After leaving the car at the outpost, the two put on their gear and headed towards the area where the Warcraft had appeared.

Yi Gao people are bold.

Even after entering the Demon Realm, the two did not make any effort to conceal their whereabouts.

Shen Mo even deliberately made some noise in an attempt to attract some monsters.

In the Demon Realm, what's most abundant are mindless magical beasts.

Not long after they had traversed the mountains and forests, a ghost bat screeched as it flew toward Shen Mo and his companion.

The piercing whistling sound made Shen Mo frown, and he raised his hand to fire an arrow.

The ghost bat can not only release a whistling sound that tears at people's eardrums, but also has a ghostly flying style and is extremely agile.

As Shen Mo shot the arrow, Ghost Bat reversed its body, flying up and down, elusive and unpredictable, trying to dodge the arrow.

But the next moment, the arrow seemed to have eyes, changing direction twice in succession and catching up.

puff!

Amidst the ghost bat's terrified cries, an arrow pierced its head, killing it instantly!

This monster, with a wingspan of nearly five meters, swayed and fell from the sky like a falling leaf.

The Tier 2 monster "Ghost Bat" has been added to the roster, rewarding you with 2 points of Constitution attribute enhancement!

[You have hunted 1 Ghost Bat, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]

The "Demon Hunter's Handbook" popped up with a kill notification. Shen Mo and Mu Li stepped forward and casually collected some materials from the ghost bat.

They hadn't gone far when Shen Mo and his companion arrived at the territory of a group of lion apes.

This monster is as tall as a person when standing upright.

Its neck and sideburns are extremely thick, resembling those of a lion.

With sharp teeth and agile movements, it can move freely among the trees.

Upon seeing Shen Mo and Mu Li, they launched an attack without hesitation!

With a series of whooshes, five arrows flew out in quick succession, shooting down the five lion-apes that were charging at the front of the attack.

The Tier 2 monster "Lion Ape" has been added to your roster, rewarding you with 2 points of Constitution attribute enhancement!

[You have hunted a total of 1105 monsters. Reward: 1 point of Battle Skill Enhancement!]

You have hunted 5 griffons, and you are rewarded with 1 skill enhancement point!

Why is there a group of gibbons here?

Seeing the lion-ape, oblivious to its own mortality, still charging towards him and Mu Li, Shen Mo felt a sense of unease.

This area is on the edge of the Demon Realm, less than ten kilometers from the outpost, which could potentially affect the safety of the outpost and passing transport teams, caravans, and demon hunters.

Normally, if a group of gibbons appears here, the association will issue a corresponding mission soon.

When Shen Mo arrived, he checked the association's tasks and wondered if he should pick one up on the way to earn some points.

However, no missions related to the Griffin were found...

"Could these giraffes have only recently migrated here?"

Shen Mo's heart skipped a beat, but his hands remained still.

They shot arrows like playing a zither, killing one lion-ape after another.

Throughout the entire journey, not a single lion ape was able to get close to him.

After shooting 21 giraffes, the giraffe pride finally collapsed.

With a mournful roar, the griffins began to retreat.

"Now that we're here, how can we leave!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Mo immediately gave chase.

He shot arrows as he ran, chasing the pursuer for several hundred meters.

Without even using a knife, they slaughtered the entire pride of lion-apes!

A total of 53 lion apes were killed, accumulating 15 skill enhancement points and 16 combat tactic enhancement points!

While collecting materials from the griffon, Shen Mo used 12 points of his combat skill enhancement on the combat technique "Instant Step".

【Shunpo 0/12 (Mastered)】

He then used all 15 skill points on his swordsmanship.

【Swordsmanship LV65 (Expert)】

I wonder how many enhancement points I'll need to reach the next level?

Shen Mo pondered in his heart, while simultaneously digesting the newly acquired knowledge of combat techniques and swordsmanship in his mind.

But when he came to a much larger and more robust lioness, his attention was quickly drawn to the wound on the lioness's chest.

This is... left behind by bone artifacts? It's still very fresh, it must have been from the last couple of days!

Seeing the wound on the griffin's chest, Shen Mo seemed to be deep in thought.

Although many monster bones, with a little processing, can be used as weapons.

And its performance is no worse than some magical equipment.

However, most witchers do not use bone weapons easily.

Thinking back on the appearance of this group of lion apes, Shen Mo instinctively connected them with those orcs.

Is it possible that these griffon apes were driven here by the orcs?

An idea popped into Shen Mo's mind.

After collecting all the materials from the griffon, they began to track the griffon's movements to find the location of the orcs.

After venturing more than ten kilometers into the Demon Realm, Shen Mo arrived at a place that was very likely the territory of the Lion Ape.

The scene not only showed signs of a battle, but also a campfire and the remains of a gibbon that had been eaten.

In addition, there were some footprints and bone spears.

This gave Shen Mo a boost of spirits, and he immediately followed the footprints.

After venturing three or four kilometers deeper into the Demon Realm, Shen Mo, on a mountainside a few hundred meters away, spotted the orcs on the opposite mountainside.

The orcs were roasting something and eating it outside the cave.

To Shen Mo's disappointment, there were only fifty Warcrafts.

He thought that if he could drive away the griffon pack, there should be a lot of orcs.

But after careful observation, Shen Mo felt that this was probably related to the high-end combat power of the Warcraftians.

These orcs consist of 1 Tier 4 orc warrior, 4 Tier 3 orc warriors, and 20 Tier 2 orc warriors!

The rest of the orcs were all adult Tier 1 orcs!

"However, this will result in a significant increase in physical strength..."

'

As Shen Mo was pondering this, his eyes, which were fixed on the Warcraftian, suddenly lit up.

But then a Warcraft wizard and a shaman emerged from the cave together.

A Warcraftian immediately handed over the roasted meat for the wizard and shaman to enjoy.

Through True Vision Eye, Shen Mo discovered that both the wizard and the shaman were actually at the third rank!

"He doesn't look like a Warcraft wanderer..."

'

Shen Mo pondered in his heart.

Although these Warcraftians were poorly equipped, they were all strong, adult individuals.

A normal Warcraft wanderer wouldn't be in such good health...

I observed the Warcraftians' behavior again.

I saw a Tier 3 monster, carrying a weapon, leading several other monsters down the mountain. It seemed they were going hunting before they started their operation.

Invisibility!

Concealment Technique!

The two of them concealed themselves and made their way towards the orc hunting party...
