84: Chapter 84 Devouring Points Surge! Endless Dark Beasts!
Ouyang Xun was shocked. He never imagined that the Dark Beasts he used to deal with martial artists above the Sanhe Realm could be wiped out by a group of people whose highest cultivation level was only the Blood Transformation Realm.
And it was an instant kill!
This was quite incredible. Theoretically, this group of people shouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow from an Ultimate Dark Beast!
"Without reaching the Sanhe Realm, one possesses no Divine Soul Power. How on earth did they manage to kill the Dark Beasts?"
It was the first time Ouyang Xun had encountered such a situation.
In his understanding, Dark Beasts could only be harmed by Divine Soul Power; no other type of power could cause substantial damage.
Ouyang Xun frowned tightly. After seeing his Ultimate Dark Beasts being killed instantly, he realized he had encountered a formidable enemy.
He had prepared extensively beforehand, even planning to use the Ultimate Dark Beasts to deal with and stall martial artists above the Sanhe Realm.
Fortunately, his preparations to resurrect the Dark Ruins were almost complete at this moment. With thirty more Dark Ruins coming into the world, this mass of black mud underground would be able to resurrect and be reborn as that world-extinguishing beast.
Seeing Li Mo and the others getting closer, Ouyang Xun did not hesitate and immediately released all the ordinary Dark Beasts in the cave along with the two Ultimate Dark Beasts.
The swarm of over a hundred Dark Beasts surged out, causing the entire cave to tremble with a thunderous vibration.
Hearing this thunderous vibration, Li Mo's expression sank: "It seems the other side doesn't intend to hide anymore. Get ready to face the charge head-on!"
Over a hundred Dark Beasts were no joke, especially in the narrow terrain of a cave. A single mistake could lead to being pounced upon by them.
Thus, the Moyu Squad found a nearby position, preparing to withstand the charge.
Fortunately, the simultaneous attack of these hundred-plus Dark Beasts also exposed Ouyang Xun's own location. As long as Li Mo and the others could hold out, they would be able to directly confront this mastermind in the next moment!
"They're coming!"
Qin Zhengnan, eyes fixed on the depths of the cave, roared.
The scene made his scalp tingle.
The two Ultimate Dark Beasts, as large as elephants, led a group of adult Dark Beasts like a tsunami, destroying everything in their path. Wherever they passed, nothing would remain; everything would be obliterated.
To deal with this charge, Li Mo and the others went almost all out, unleashing all their strength.
Li Mo held the jingdi spear, with the Taowu and Qiongqi flying daggers hovering beside him. Astonishing golden flames covered his entire body, illuminating the pitch-black cave.
If one looked closely, they would find faint purple electric arcs mixed within the flames.
Li Mo used almost all his talents and mastered skills. This was actually extremely draining on his blood essence, but there was no choice. If they couldn't withstand this wave, they might lose their lives, so what would be the point of talking about blood essence?
Besides Li Mo, Wu Yuqing, Xu Feng, and Zheng Jiahao were also staring fixedly ahead.
The three of them could not kill the Dark Beasts, so the greatest effort they could make was to help Li Mo withstand the impact or, in other words, share the burden of the firepower.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a shrill beast roar, Li Mo and the others finally saw the first Dark Beast.
Then, a swarm of Dark Beasts came rushing over!
This terrifying sight was enough to make one's scalp tingle!
Giving Li Mo and the others no time to feel fear, countless Dark Beasts rushed up like a tide.
The long spear in Li Mo's hand swirled rapidly, and in less than a moment, a tornado made of golden flames had formed around him.
It was the combat technique Li Mo hadn't used for a long time: Fire Snake Whirlwind!
This was the first combat technique Li Mo had obtained, but to be honest, its power was not that great; after all, it was only a C-grade combat technique.
Its main purpose was to deal with a group of enemies, and it could protect oneself from harm when activated, making it both offensive and defensive!
The moment the pouncing Dark Beasts came into contact with the golden fire dragon, they were almost instantly melted into fragments.
Such a skill was not an exaggeration to call a meat grinder.
At the same time, system notifications kept ringing in Li Mo's ears.
"Ding! Congratulations on killing a Dark Beast, you have gained 2000 devour points!"
"Ding! Congratulations on killing a Dark Beast, you have gained 5000 devour points!"
In less than a minute, Li Mo had gained over 50,000 devour points!
This meant the dozen or so Dark Beasts that rushed over had been killed instantly by Li Mo!
However, the number of Dark Beasts was simply too great, and there was a time limit for activating the combat technique, which also required a considerable amount of blood essence.
Just as Li Mo stopped the Fire Snake Whirlwind, countless Dark Beasts were already right in front of them!
"You beasts! All of you go to hell!"
At this moment, it required everyone to resist the Dark Beast charge together.
Fortunately, after entering the secret realm, they had encountered such a fierce warrior as Wu Yuqing.
With her Nine Absolute Flying Swords alone, she blocked the vast majority of the Dark Beasts. She was indeed the number one person of the younger generation. If it weren't for the fact that the Dark Beasts couldn't be killed, perhaps another dozen or so would have been cut down by now.
With her holding the front, the pressure on Li Mo and the others was reduced significantly.
Although Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao were slightly lacking in cultivation, they had no problem barely parrying the Dark Beasts' attacks.
Soon, the first wave of the charge stopped, and what followed was the group being completely surrounded by over eighty Dark Beasts.
Although the situation was still very critical, Li Mo let out a sigh of relief because the hardest part had already passed.
He had long formulated a battle plan: as long as they could withstand the first wave of the Dark Beasts' charge, they would immediately break through!
As the saying goes, to catch the bandits, one must first catch the ringleader. After guessing that the enemy's goal was to resurrect the Dark Ruins in the Xumi Secret Realm, Li Mo had no time to deal with these Dark Beasts one by one!
Taking down Ouyang Xun was the most important thing!
"Kill!"
Wu Yuqing once again used her strongest sword technique, and countless sword shadows shot directly at the Dark Beasts in front.
These Dark Beasts could not withstand the impact of this sword technique. Although they couldn't die, they were instantly routed, and the dozen or so Dark Beasts blocking the group were sent tumbling.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Mo and the others immediately broke through and ran towards the depths of the cave.
Although the Dark Beasts were powerful, as mentioned before, they were mindless monsters that only knew how to kill and devour, which was actually a weakness.
Watching Li Mo and the others break through, the remaining Dark Beasts didn't even react at first, so they didn't pursue.
It wasn't until a giant roar from an Ultimate Dark Beast that the other Dark Beasts finally reacted and roared as they gave chase.
It was because of this short interval that they were left behind by the Moyu Squad, and they couldn't catch up in a short time.
Li Mo and the others used the fastest speed of their lives, disregarding the consumption of blood essence and the loss of stamina, running for their lives all the way.
They didn't know how much time had passed, but the Dark Beasts behind had disappeared, and the group arrived at a new space.
There were many human limbs and severed arms here, and the stench of blood and corpse aura was everywhere. Under their feet, there was a substance similar to black mud, slimy and extremely disgusting.
In such an environment, even Li Mo couldn't help but cover his nose.
