124: Chapter 124 Your mother died a terrible death.

After entering the Withered Bone Death Flood Dragon, Lin Mo still carefully avoided the area where the pink gas had erupted.

Although Lin Mo felt that if he were to get hit by it now, Jiang Mengxi wouldn't ignore him, but... what if?

And more importantly, even though he had been holding back, Jiang Mengxi had still been thoroughly exhausted by him just a moment ago.

After all, he possessed the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and his physical constitution was far superior to Jiang Mengxi's.

If he were to be struck by it and didn't have the Green Lotus to neutralize it, he might just... kill Jiang Mengxi. It was still too dangerous.

However... the images of his time with Jiang Mengxi were still deeply etched in Lin Mo's mind. His footsteps couldn't help but feel a bit lighter.

Before long, Lin Mo bypassed that sac-like organ and found the crystal core behind it.

Although the Withered Bone Death Flood Dragon was massive, its crystal core was smaller than he had imagined. It was only the size of a fist. He could faintly sense the energy contained within it.

Although it was still far inferior to an abyss crystal, it was stronger than any crystal core Lin Mo had ever obtained before. He put the crystal core away.

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then collected other unrotted parts of the Withered Bone Death Flood Dragon's body. What if they turned out to be useful?

This Withered Bone Death Flood Dragon was so ridiculously large that the materials on its body were also immense. If Lin Mo hadn't obtained quite a few Storage Pouchs from those people from the Sakura Country, he really wouldn't have been able to carry it all.

After finally getting everything packed up, Lin Mo returned to where they had been resting earlier.

Jiang Mengxi had already changed into a new set of clothes. Her hair was tied up with a deep cyan ribbon, and she once again looked like the aloof Sword Immortal Jiang Mengxi from before.

Lin Mo couldn't help but compare her current appearance to how she had been moaning softly beneath him a short while ago. Hmm... as expected, he still preferred that hotter version of her.

Seeing Lin Mo, Jiang Mengxi nodded slightly. "Have you finished dealing with everything?"

Lin Mo took out the few Storage Pouchs. "It's all in here. Let's split this between the two of us."

Jiang Mengxi pondered for a few seconds. "No need, you can have it all."

Under Lin Mo's surprised gaze, Jiang Mengxi explained, "It was your merit that we were able to kill this BOSS in the first place. Plus, you... saved my life. So... these things should all belong to you."

When she mentioned saving her life, Jiang Mengxi's face flushed slightly, clearly thinking of something.

Seeing this, Lin Mo did not decline; after all, the experience points he needed for his next breakthrough were increasing. These resources were also very important to him.

"Alright, then I'll accept it."

After dealing with the loot, Lin Mo took out the teleportation jade talisman. He held it in his hand and sensed it for a moment. Lin Mo's spirits lifted. "Once we cross this lake, we should reach the area of that King-level Expert."

Jiang Mengxi also looked happy. The two of them found the nearest route, bypassed the lake, and quickly made their way toward the location of the King-level Expert.

This area had originally been the territory of the Withered Bone Death Flood Dragon. Now that the Withered Bone Death Flood Dragon had just died, no other monsters dared to come forward to occupy it. Coupled with the fact that both of their strengths had increased significantly, they managed to cross the lake before nightfall and entered the area where the King-level Creature was located.

Through the sensing of the teleportation jade talisman, Lin Mo could clearly feel that their coordinates were almost overlapping.

"It should be nearby," Lin Mo frowned slightly. "But why don't I see anything?"

Jiang Mengxi explained, "There's no help for it; the teleportation jade talisman can only provide a rough lock. It cannot be too precise; this is a limitation of the material. However, since we've arrived here, it should be nearby. Let's look around a bit more before it gets completely dark. If we can't find it, we'll rest for the night."

After making up their minds, the two began searching the vicinity to see if they could find any traces of the King-level Expert's activities.

However, as they searched, both of them felt a vague sense of unease. There was absolutely no trace of any human presence. Combined with the fact that this King-level Expert had been staying here without moving...

Lin Mo couldn't help but mutter to himself. Could it be... that the other party had already died from their severe injuries?

However, neither of them voiced this guess. Instead, they searched carefully. After all, this was their only way back.

As they searched, the sky gradually darkened. Lin Mo sighed. It seemed they would have to continue looking tomorrow.

Just as this thought flashed through Lin Mo's mind, he suddenly heard some movement. Lin Mo's eyes lit up!

Could it be that King-level Expert? However, the next moment, Lin Mo noticed that the sounds were becoming noisy. Not only that, but it was accompanied by a ticking sound.

Lin Mo realized in an instant. It was that Weeping Blood Ghost Woman!!!

Lin Mo hadn't forgotten the scene he had witnessed in the middle of the night that day. However, Lin Mo's mindset now was completely different from before.

Before, Lin Mo had been afraid of being targeted by this group of monsters. But now... his strength had risen to Tier 2, a qualitative leap. And Jiang Mengxi had already reached Tier 3. Weren't these monsters perfect for farming experience points and earning money?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo first looked at Jiang Mengxi. "Stay here and provide long-range support." Then, Lin Mo walked toward the direction the sound was coming from.

Soon, Lin Mo saw the baby-like monster from afar. And behind this baby monster were one Weeping Blood Ghost Woman after another.

However, the number of Weeping Blood Ghost Women had actually increased again. There were fully over a hundred of them.

At this moment, the baby-like monster hadn't noticed Lin Mo yet. It was crawling toward another direction. Lin Mo chuckled. "Little monster, what are you looking for?"

The baby monster turned around abruptly. Only then did Lin Mo see clearly. Not only was the skin on its body dark blue, but its face was the same. Furthermore, blood was flowing from its seven orifices. Those crimson blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Lin Mo.

"What? Don't recognize me?" Lin Mo said with a smile, "Your mother died quite miserably back then."

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in Lin Mo's hand, and that blood-colored hair he had taken from the head of the Weeping Blood Ghost Woman appeared in his hand.

The moment it saw this blood-colored hair, the baby monster's body trembled. It had clearly recognized this hair as belonging to its mother. A rapid, wailing cry of an infant sounded instantly.

The Weeping Blood Ghost Women who had originally been following behind it all raised their heads at this moment and looked at Lin Mo. Although the blood-colored hair obscured their faces, this uniform movement was still enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Then, the baby monster crawled toward Lin Mo at an extremely fast speed. Its speed was even more exaggerated than those Weeping Blood Ghost Women behind it!
