High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

This person was Ouyang Xun, and his purpose in creating the Dark Beasts was ultimately to revive the Dark Ruins!

It should be noted that the Dark Ruins are alien creatures that even the God of War finds troublesome. If they were to appear in this secret realm where the God of War has no say, the resulting disaster would be devastating.

It's equivalent to directly destroying the entire Sumeru Secret Realm!

Everyone in the secret realm will die a violent death because of this!

However, Li Mo did not know beforehand that the people from the enemy country might be of the Beast Refiner lineage, nor did he know that they possessed the ability to revive the Dark Ruins.

If we had known earlier, the danger level of this incident would have been several levels higher.

However, after Li Mo and the others entered the secret realm, they could only be automatically teleported out after three days, which meant that they now had no way out.

We must find Ouyang Xun as soon as possible, or everyone will be doomed!

Li Mo's expression turned grave. He then asked Wu Yuqing, "Miss Wu, do you know roughly where Ouyang Xun is? Right now, we probably need to find him as quickly as possible!"

Fortunately, Li Mo encountered Wu Yuqing as soon as he arrived at the secret realm; otherwise, finding him in the vast Sumeru Secret Realm would have been like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Wu Yuqing was a martial arts fanatic. Because Ouyang Xun exuded an unusually powerful aura, after being teleported into the Sumeru Secret Realm, Wu Yuqing made a point of memorizing the approximate location where Ouyang Xun was going.

That was a desolate mountainous area in the Sumeru Secret Realm, with virtually no vegetation or strange beasts.

Wu Yuqing murmured, "Now I understand why he went to that location. Most places in the Sumeru Secret Realm have abundant spiritual energy; you could say that any place with abundant vegetation is suitable for cultivation!"

"But that location is different. It's almost entirely a maze of caves, and the spiritual energy is thin. Ordinary people would never cultivate there!"

"He went there for only one reason: to hide!"

The desolate valley, coupled with the intricate cave terrain, meant that finding Ouyang Xun would not be easy.

Fortunately, we now have a general location, so the situation isn't too bad!

"Walk!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Mo led everyone to that place immediately.

Before long, the group arrived at the desolate mountain area that Wu Yuqing had described.

Compared to the lush and vibrant Sumeru Secret Realm, this area was indeed somewhat desolate, and the closer Li Mo got to this place, the more oppressive he felt.

He couldn't pinpoint the exact source of this feeling of oppression, but he just felt a bit uneasy.

For some reason, Li Mo felt that the entire mountain range seemed to have come to life, and a terrifying existence seemed to be about to be born!

"Something's not right here, everyone be careful."

Li Mo said slowly.

Unexpectedly, he was right. As soon as they entered the mountains, before they could even react, several dark beasts suddenly emerged from the bushes.

"Be careful!"

Zheng Jiahao possessed a talent for sensing danger and was the first to react. He leaped into the air and swiftly dodged the attack of the dark beast.

Xu Feng reacted slowly, but Zheng Jiahao pushed him away.

The Dark Beast is very fast and extremely lethal; once it pounces on you, you will inevitably be injured.

Although Li Mo and Wu Yuqing did not sense danger and reacted after Zheng Jiahao, they were still able to draw their weapons immediately and parry the attack of the dark beast!

Li Mo even took the opportunity to protect Qin Zhengnan, who was behind him.

"brute!"

Li Mo snorted coldly, and the next moment he unleashed the Candle Dragon Flame.

The powerful golden flames unleashed an overwhelming heat wave, instantly burning the dark beast in front of Li Mo to ashes.

"Ding! Congratulations on killing the Dark Beast! You have gained 2000 Devour Points!"

This batch of dark beasts was different from the ones they had encountered before. Li Mo could clearly sense that the strength of this batch of dark beasts seemed to be much weaker than the two that had attacked Wu Yuqing before.

Its strength is roughly equivalent to the dark beast Li Mo encountered in the capital, so the number of devouring points obtained is also about the same.

Wu Yuqing seemed to have noticed this as well. Although her sword still couldn't kill the weaker dark beasts, it could easily suppress them. The two dark beasts in front of her were so suppressed that they could hardly move.

"These beasts don't seem as strong as before?" Wu Yuqing murmured.

After dealing with the dark beasts in front of him, Li Mo quickly returned to reinforce them, and in the blink of an eye, he eliminated the dark beasts that were attacking them.

To be honest, the teamwork was excellent; anyone who didn't know better would think they were longtime, well-coordinated comrades.

Zheng Jiahao offered his speculation: "If my estimation is correct, these dark beasts also have different levels."

"Let me give you an example. The dark beasts that have just been created by the beast refiner are relatively weak, so let's call them juveniles. As time goes by, their strength will gradually increase, and they will eventually become adults. The level of a dark beast can be deduced in the same way!"

Juvenile form, adult form, ultimate form...

Li Mo smiled slightly, recalling a famous monster IP from his previous life.

But at this moment, Li Mo raised some questions: "Old Zheng, the change in the strength of these dark beasts is probably not based on time."

"What is that?"

Li Mo hesitated for a moment, then uttered two chilling words.

"Cannibalism!"

Li Mo made this conjecture because when they were in the capital last time, after those strange beasts ate a few thugs, he could clearly feel that their strength and speed had increased.

The dark beasts encountered in the secret realm this time are stronger than before because they have devoured many of the descendants of the Martial God's family.

According to textbook descriptions of the Dark Ruins, the Dark Ruins feed on devouring, and can devour all things in heaven and earth in an endless manner.

They have no consciousness; their sole purpose is to destroy everything until the entire world is reduced to nothing!

"hiss!"

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, everyone present gasped in shock.

Li Mo said in a deep voice, "For some reason, I have a bad feeling that we need to hurry."

Li Mo's composed demeanor already hinted at the presence of a commander.

Of course, if we want things to go quickly, everyone needs to work together. At this moment, Qin Zhengnan said, "Captain Li, you make the arrangements! We'll all listen to you!"

As they said this, almost all four of them looked at Wu Yuqing. This top expert of the younger generation was unruly, and Li Mo was most worried about what kind of trouble she might cause.

Surprisingly, Wu Yuqing readily agreed: "Why are you all looking at me? I'll follow orders! I only have one condition: Ouyang Xun must be handed over to me for execution!"

Li Mo nodded, and then began to assign tasks.

"Zheng Jiahao, Xu Feng, you two will flank the enemy and deal with any sudden attacks! Wu Yuqing, you are the strongest, so lead the way and be the vanguard against the strongest enemy! Qin Zhengnan, use the Eye of the Void Demon King to be vigilant and report any dangers at any time! Our team will be stationed in the center to provide support. Let's go!"

"yes!"
