Chapter 228 Savior
Li Yanmo walked around the outskirts of the Demon-Suppressing Mountains and found no strange traces except for the fierce but not strong monsters.
The spring hunt was approaching, and Li Yan had no choice but to turn back.
But Li Yanmo came back at the wrong time. The princes of commoner marquises had already arrived, and they all looked in a good mood. On the contrary, the princes of noble marquises were all depressed. Yao Mengyi had red eyes and was insulting her lackeys with harsh words.
The insulted lackey held his head and nodded submissively, but Li Yanmo keenly noticed that the corners of the lackey's mouth were trembling. He seemed afraid, but in fact he was struggling to hold back laughter.
Obviously, after this performance, this lackey can pursue his dream.
With the order given by the general in the Nascent Soul stage, the hunt was announced to begin. The princes rode their horses and rushed into the Demon-Suppressing Mountains in a mighty manner. Li Yanmo took the opportunity to find Yao Mengyi.
When Yao Mengyi was found, the little girl who loved knitting was strangling the neck of a bear monster at the seventh level of Qi training with wool with a bitter face.
"Princess Yao?"
"Mr. Li!"
Hearing Li Yanmo's voice, Yao Mengyi was delighted and exclaimed. She exerted force with her hands and the bear monster's head turned several times on the spot.
The bear demon fell to its knees with a thud, lifeless.
The corner of Li Yanmo's eyes twitched slightly.
The monster has good power. Under the same level of cultivation, the monster can use its powerful body to defeat the cultivator.
Therefore, except for physical cultivators, serious cultivators will not fight with monsters in physical combat.
But it doesn't mean it's impossible. After all, the process of body training is much simpler than that of qi training.
Eat, soak, and get beaten.
With proper arrangements, the monsters will be destroyed.
Just because children of the nobility do not practice cultivation before the age of sixteen does not mean they cannot cultivate their bodies.
Yao Mengyi in front of him is one example. Although her cultivation is only at the Qi training stage, her physical strength is first-class and she can strangle a monster to death with wool.
"Princess Yao, I have already taken a general tour around the outer perimeter of this demon-suppressing mountain range and have not found anything strange. Although the demon beasts here are fierce, if you deal with them calmly, it won't be a problem for those princes... You won't really attract the demon beasts and take revenge in the chaos."
Normally, there must be some noble prince who dislikes the commoner prince and deliberately attracts monsters and causes chaos so that he can take action.
"Why should I do that? I can finish the performance and leave immediately," Yao Mengyi said with a strange look on her face.
"Too--"
This is Dayu, everyone knows the limits. It's just a play, why do you have to be so serious about it? What if others think they like this line of work?
So normally, nothing would go wrong with this spring hunt.
But if anything goes wrong, the blame will definitely be put on the noble lord.
Li Yanmo had an idea and nodded to Yao Mengyi with a smile, "If there is a problem, it will definitely be around the fifth day of the Spring Hunt. Princess Yao, do you mind if I go with you for a few days?"
"Of course I don't mind. If anything happens, please help me, Master Li."
Seeing that Yao Mengyi was so cute and wanted to knit a sweater, Li Yanmo naturally nodded.
But the fact is...
Yao Mengyi was really just being polite.
In the outskirts of the Demon Suppression Mountains, the strongest monsters are only at the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and there is absolutely no monster in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Yao Mengyi herself has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and she has also practiced physical training, so she can walk sideways in the Demon Suppression Mountains.
This lovely girl is very hardworking. She kills monsters non-stop for five days without even blinking an eye.
A monster was strangled to death by Yao Mengyi. When Li Yanmo was about to applaud, a loud noise came from the depths of the Monster-Suppressing Mountains. The monsters roared, and countless monsters rushed out with huge waves of earth.
General Dayu stationed in the Demon-Suppressing Mountains took action immediately and cast countless spells, but the demon tide came too suddenly and was too ferocious. Even though General Dayu tried to stop it, many monsters still broke through the isolation zone and stepped into the periphery.
“What’s going on!?”
Yao Mengyi glared and was about to go up while pulling the yarn.
This action scared Li Yanmo greatly, as there were even Jindan-stage monsters among the monster tide.
Yao Mengyi's physique can fight against Foundation Establishment Stage monsters, but she definitely cannot defeat Golden Core Stage monsters.
To prevent accidents, Li Yanmo immediately grabbed the back of Yao Mengyi's collar and lifted her up. At the same time, he activated the artificial golden elixir on his body and transformed himself into the Golden Elixir Ancestor on the spot.
With the help of the golden elixir, the Oil Dragon Mark and the Cold Dragon Mark were finally able to exert some of their strength.
"Pooh--"
"Pooh--"
Glaciers and oil seas exploded, and wherever they passed, the monsters were either fried in oil or frozen in ice.
Yao Mengyi let out a long "Oh" and clapped her hands, "Mr. Li, you are so awesome!"
Li Yanmo shook his head. At this time, You Longwen suddenly exclaimed, "Among those monsters, there is a monster that has not rotted yet."
Li Yanmo's eyes moved and he realized something, but he did not stop. He carried Yao Mengyi and went straight to the barracks.
After all, this is Dizhou, the root of Dayu Dynasty. The demon tide caught Dayu’s army stationed in the Demon-Suppressing Mountains by surprise, but it was just a surprise and was suppressed in a blink of an eye.
However, this sudden wave of demons still caused a lot of trouble.
Li Yanmo had just put Yao Mengyi down and was about to go to Leng Ningshuang to ask about the situation when he heard a commotion coming from the side of the commoner Marquis's son.
"Prince Li was swept away by a foundation-building monster!"
“I saw it with my own eyes!”
"Damn it - if Prince Li hadn't wanted to save me, he wouldn't have done that!"
Li Yanmo could sense that, although those princes complained about themselves and felt that they could not help because their strength was too weak, the spearhead was being directed at the princes of the nobles.
The princes of the noble lords looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Of course, the one who suffered the most was Yao Mengyi, who had to bite the bullet and add insult to injury, saying that it was a good thing for Li Lin to die.
But Li Yanmo knew that Li Lin would probably not die. Not only would he not die, but his cultivation would also greatly increase.
As Li Yanmo expected, exactly one day later, Li Lin, covered in wounds but with bright eyes, appeared in front of everyone, dragging a demon beast in the early stage of foundation building.
Li Lin was able to win the first place in this spring hunt just by relying on the demon beast in the early stage of foundation building.
The commoner marquis' sons were naturally so excited that their faces turned red, while the noble marquis' sons displayed their superb acting skills, and each of them looked as pale as death.
Leng Ningshuang also followed the procedure and read the manuscript in a soft voice across the carriage.
Li Lin hung his hands at his sides, looking in the direction of the carriage neither humbly nor arrogantly. Even when he learned that he would receive a reward far exceeding that of all previous champions, he remained calm. He just bowed and thanked in a dignified manner.
As the Leng family's carriage left, the tense atmosphere in the barracks eased, and the princes of the common people gathered around Li Lin and asked him questions, wanting to know what happened to Li Lin after he was swept away by the monster. However, Li Lin spoke vaguely.
The people present could see that Li Lin didn't want to talk about this matter, so they changed the subject.
"Come to think of it, I thought Miss Leng would not attend this spring hunt."
"It is said that Miss Leng was gifted in her early years, but she was murdered and has been bedridden ever since."
"What a pity—"
Li Lin's eyes moved slightly. "It may be true that he was murdered, but it is hard to say if he is bedridden."
The people around were all shocked, "Brother Li, why do you say that?"
Li Lin did not answer, but just shook his head and looked in the direction of Yao Mengyi.
At this time, Yao Mengyi was still playing the role of making things difficult for the princess, but this time she was not losing her temper. Instead, she was crying to someone, and the person she was crying to was Li Yanmo.
The people around Li Lin also looked over and noticed Li Yanmo.
One person said fearfully, "That person looks unfamiliar, but he seems to have a close relationship with Yao Mengyi. He looks like at least a Jindan cultivator. Brother Li, you'd better be careful these days, because the princess might let this person take action against you."
Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"That princess doesn't have the ability to ask that gentleman for help."
"gentlemen?"
The princes around Li Lin were all stunned, not understanding why Li Lin addressed Li Yanmo in such a respectful tone.
"That gentleman cares about the people and will not only ignore such trivial matters, but will also become our savior."
