There was no solution to the problem of Tianhuo's disappearing supernatural powers for the time being. He Mo provided basic care for Tianhuo in the afternoon and also finished the care for the old mermaid. The work for this half day was almost finished.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was almost night again. He Mo put the golden egg away, soaked it in his special energy liquid, and then went out under the cover of night.
Sure enough, when He Mo arrived there, Xiao Ba was already there, squatting on a branch of a big tree, looking a little bored. He Mo was anxious to find some healing elixirs, but he didn't see that on a tree not far behind Xiao Ba, there was a giant python that was dozens of meters long, hanging stiffly there, and it had obviously lost all signs of life.
"Xiao Ba, remember to follow me closely tonight?" He Mo said in a low voice with some seriousness. For some reason, he clearly felt a palpitation just now, but this feeling disappeared in an instant. This intuition made him feel a little uneasy.
"Woo." Cangshan nodded seemingly obediently, and there was a bit more interest in his cunning eyes. It seemed that there were a lot more people in the Monster Forest tonight.
The man and the beast moved forward quickly. They searched for a long time but couldn't find the second spiritual medicine. As expected, even in the forest of exotic beasts, spiritual medicines were rare. It was a great fortune to find one before.
This area with low temperature is extremely large and the humidity in the air is very high. Although no elixir that can repair mental power was found, one or two other precious medicinal herbs were seen.
The darkness made the search more difficult. The man and the beast were moving forward relatively slowly. Strangely, the forest of strange beasts was unusually quiet tonight. If something was out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. He Mo did not dare to let his guard down, and the search became even slower.
A cool breeze blew by, and the faintest smell of rust wafted through his nose. It was the smell of blood. He Mo shuddered. There must have been a battle ahead. He was weak, and with Xiao Ba still with him, he shouldn't rush in.
At this time, a shrill cry came from the southeast, each one crazier than the last. It was the cry of a strange beast.
Cangshan's relaxed expression suddenly became serious. Someone was slaughtering strange beasts.
He Mo, who had wanted to retreat, stopped in his tracks when he heard the beast's cries, each one more miserable than the last. A rare flash of anger appeared in his clear eyes.
Although most alien beasts and humans coexist peacefully, there are always some anti-alien beast organizations that carry weapons in private to kill weaker alien beasts. He didn't expect to encounter them tonight. This group of people dared to kill in the dark alien beast forest. They must have very powerful guys with them, or there is another possibility.
Ordinary humans who cannot form a contract with exotic beasts will feel unbalanced and kill exotic beasts to vent their anger. If they have an ordinary background, they generally cannot harm exotic beasts, but if they have a powerful background and the protection of their family, they can kill exotic beasts of very high levels, and may even attack exotic beasts with which they have already formed a contract.
I just don't know what kind of situation this group of people who showed up tonight are. Taking a deep breath, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the young man's calm eyes. Whether in the world of cultivation or in the interstellar era, such beastly behavior exists. Now that he has encountered them, he must deal with this group of people properly.
Having made up his mind, He Mo whispered, "Be careful." His voice was barely audible, and the man and the beast quietly approached the direction where the smell of blood came from.
Before getting close, there were continuous white lights sweeping in the distance, illuminating every detail within a radius of nearly 100 meters. It seemed that it was impossible to approach stealthily.
The screams in the air were getting weaker and weaker. If it was delayed any further, the strange beast would soon die.
Before He Mo could come up with a solution, Xiao Bayi, who was leaning against his feet, ran out without him noticing. His round body was very conspicuous and was quickly discovered by the white light.
"Master, there's a reckless little brat running over here." In the tent in the center of the white light, a bearded man reported flatteringly. In front of him sat a young man with his legs crossed. He was handsome, but unfortunately, the viciousness in his eyes ruined his appearance.
The young man held a sharp knife in his hand, which was dripping with blood. Right in front of him, a strange beast was tied up and lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. The scales of the beast had been plucked off piece by piece, and its four claws were twisted at abnormal angles, obviously it had been disabled.
Hearing the bearded man's words, the young man became interested: "What kind of little fellow?"
The bearded man turned on the computer and saw a round cub running in the white light in the video broadcast by the computer.
"Okay." The young man stood up, licked his lips, and gazed greedily at the cub in the video. He ordered, "Catch it for me."
There are not many exotic beast cubs in the exotic beast forest. It is too boring to torture the adult exotic beasts every time. They must be beaten half to death and lose their fighting power before he can play with them. But it is not fun to torture such exotic beasts. These cubs are more fun. They are soft and have no killing power, but they are very exciting.
"Yes." The bearded man rubbed his hands and went out. Hehe, he knew that this gentleman liked this kind of tender little guy, so he deliberately let this little guy in.
The bearded man loaded his weapon and insidiously aimed it at the little guy's left leg. His only goal was to stop the little guy from running.
The ammunition made a slight noise in the air. This was the least powerful weapon they brought tonight, but it was more than enough to deal with such a small cub. He also lost a little bit of accuracy when aiming at the little guy. If he killed the little guy and made the master inside unhappy, he would be in big trouble.
Just as the bearded man was about to knock the little guy down, a sudden pressure enveloped the area. The bearded man was hit so hard that he couldn't help but kneel on the ground, making two big holes in the soil under his knees.
In the deepest tent, an old man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened them and rushed to the center at an unimaginable speed, supporting the young man who was being crushed to the point of vomiting blood. "Feng'er, how are you?!"
The young man was almost crushed to death, spitting blood from his mouth and unable to speak. The old man quickly transferred the energy in his body to him, and the young man recovered.
The bearded man outside the tent was shouting loudly, watching in horror as the little creature he thought was a cub grew rapidly. He was frightened by its grown-up appearance and fainted. Almost everyone in the Federation knew the form of General Zhong Qing's alien beast, Lord Cangshan, and the bearded man was no exception.
The old man stabilized the young man's injuries and rushed out in a rage. No matter who hurt Feng'er today, he would make that person pay the price. When he recognized the strange beast outside, the old man's aged face trembled as if with a convulsion, and he cried out in fear: "Lord Cangshan."
What was going on? Before coming here, I had clearly inquired about Zhong Qing and he was clearly not in the Fifth Legion. Cangshan was usually inseparable from Zhong Qing, so how could he be stationed in the Fifth Legion? The old man was in a state of uncertainty. Facing the huge beast in front of him, he suppressed his fear and stepped forward: "Lord Cangshan, our mistake tonight was unintentional. I hope Lord Cangshan will forgive us this time..."
Before he could finish, the old man's vision went dark, and he was slapped by the huge monster in front of him, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. The young man who struggled to crawl out saw this scene, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grandpa!"
"Hmph." It was the young man in front of him who caused all this trouble. Cangshan snorted lightly. What an incompetent piece of trash. He relied on his background to run here and act wildly. The smell of blood on his body was so strong. I don't know how many innocent beasts he had killed. Cangshan instantly put the pressure on the young man. Soon, the young man fell limply to the ground.
Under the enormous pressure of Cangshan Mountain, no one in the tent could escape. They were pressed to the ground one by one, begging for mercy in pain.
On this side, He Mo watched Xiao Ba running out. He mobilized all the power of the stars and was about to catch up, but he saw Xiao Ba growing rapidly. His appearance after growing bigger was exactly the same as a certain towering beast in his memory. He Mo's hurried steps slowed down, and an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind: If Xiao Ba is Cangshan, then Xiao Mou, is he General Zhong Qing?
Before He Mo could sort out this surprising thought, he discovered that a black thing had crawled out of the body of the old man who had just been beaten to death by Xiao Ba. The thing was extremely fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye before He Mo could see it clearly.
What was that? He Mo blinked, wondering if it was an illusion.
Cangshan solved these problems and his anger calmed down. He thought he would see the young man's furious face, so he looked over secretly, but saw the young man standing not far away staring at the old man's body.
"Woo." Cangshan leaned over, rubbing its huge head against the young man to express closeness and apology. It didn't mean to hide it from the young man, but just didn't know how to explain it to him.
They had met it unexpectedly in the Forest of Strange Beasts before. It had wanted to follow the young man to protect him first, and then explain to him when Zhong Qing came back. It had not expected that after what happened tonight, its identity would be lost.
He Mo was nudged by Cang Shan's warm head. Turning around, he met a pair of apologetic eyes. Putting his previous doubts aside, He Mo looked calmly at the strange beast in front of him and asked without hesitation, "You are His Excellency Cang Shan, so is Xiao Mou His Excellency Zhong Qing?!"
There was murderous intent. Cangshan shuddered, and his huge body suddenly turned into the appearance of a cub, with his big wet eyes looking at He Mo innocently.
"Hurry up and tell me." It's too late to act cute now.
"Woo." He nodded in agreement without reservation. Cangshan had sold out his friend completely without any loyalty. As long as the young man was not angry, everything would be fine.
