224: Chapter 224 The Overlord of the Fairy Tale Forest: The Headless Prince!

"What... is going on?"

"Could she have eaten something that upset her stomach?"

Lin Mo frowned slightly, puzzled by the current situation, and quickly looked at Luo Siyue.

Luo Siyue couldn't help but burst into a laugh.

"She was just born."

"And you already gave her a Rank 3 crystal core."

"She has to sleep to speed up the digestion."

"Well..." Luo Siyue added, "Once she finishes digesting and wakes up, her combat Rank should increase significantly."

Lin Mo finally felt relieved.

He looked at Ling'er, who had turned into an arm ring, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Even at Rank 0, Stage 1, she had already shown astonishing potential.

Once her strength improves further, she will surely perform even better.

Moreover, the most critical point is this.

Luo Li can transform into a human form.

Since Ling'er is Luo Li's descendant, and the student has surpassed the master, there's no reason she shouldn't be able to transform, right?

There is also the ability to speak.

At the current stage, Ling'er cannot speak yet; she can only express emotions.

After she grows up, there should be some different changes.

A flash of intense anticipation crossed Lin Mo's eyes.

However, just at this moment.

A dull sound of footsteps suddenly came from the distance.

This sound instantly attracted the attention of both Lin Mo and Luo Siyue.

Looking in the direction the sound came from.

Lin Mo could even see the towering trees that had been standing there were now falling down one after another.

It was as if a Vicious Beast was approaching rapidly, and any plants or animals blocking its path were being destroyed.

"This is..." Luo Siyue's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked around in a panic.

"Oh no, we are already near the Rank 4 area of the Fairy Tale Forest. This sound belongs to the Rank 4, Stage 9 BOSS, the Headless Prince!"

Luo Siyue's face turned slightly pale.

When she first entered the Imperial Capital Academy, she had heard of the reputation of the Rank 4, Stage 9 BOSS, the Headless Prince, in the Fairy Tale Forest.

This is the most dangerous monster in the Fairy Tale Forest.

A terrifying existence that no team is willing to face.

Furthermore, two years ago, a team of Geniuses, also at Rank 4, Stage 9, wanted to hunt it down to earn points.

But they failed.

Instead, one died and three were injured.

Someone once judged that to kill this Rank 4, Stage 9 BOSS, the Headless Prince, only a Rank 5 powerhouse could do it.

However, once one reaches Rank 5, they are no longer allowed to enter the Fairy Tale Forest.

Therefore, this BOSS, the Headless Prince, is like an Overlord within the entire Fairy Tale Forest.

No one dares to trouble it anymore.

Unexpectedly.

Today, the two of them actually encountered it.

However.

Luo Siyue clearly remembered that the guidebooks explicitly mentioned that this BOSS's territory is in the depths of the entire Fairy Tale Forest.

Although they are currently at the edge of the Rank 4 area.

They are still very far from its territory.

How could this guy specifically cross its own territory to come find them?

Luo Siyue suddenly noticed some traces on the ground; those were the transparent liquid from when Ling'er broke out of her shell.

She suddenly realized something and looked at Lin Mo with a shocked expression.

"Wait, aren't Ling'er's parents Rank 3 monsters?"

"Could they be Rank 4? Or even Rank 5?!!"

Luo Siyue suddenly realized one thing.

This Rank 4, Stage 9 BOSS, the Headless Prince, is the Overlord of the entire Fairy Tale Forest; there is only one situation that would cause it to leave its original position.

That is if an existence appeared in the Fairy Tale Forest that could threaten its position.

These Abyss monsters have their own sensing abilities.

Even though Ling'er is currently only Rank 0, Stage 1.

This Headless Prince instinctively knows that once Ling'er grows up, she will become the new Overlord.

So it will not tolerate such a thing happening.

Thus, it launched a pursuit against the two of them.

Under Luo Siyue's gaze, Lin Mo nodded, "Yeah, she isn't Rank 3."

Luo Siyue slapped her forehead, "We're done for. If I had known she was this strong, we should have left the Fairy Tale Forest immediately."

"It's over now. This guy is coming straight for us. We can only use the Formation to forcibly escape before entering combat."

Lin Mo shrugged and cracked his knuckles.

"Escape? I never said I wanted to run."

"A Rank 4, Stage 9 BOSS, how many points can its Materials earn?"

Luo Siyue was completely stunned.

What time is it, and Lin Mo is actually still thinking about earning points?

However, she still subconsciously replied: "I remember it seems to be 1,000 points..."

Lin Mo looked toward the direction the commotion was coming from, his tone carrying a hint of disdain, "Only one thousand points."

Only... one thousand?

Luo Siyue's mouth twitched. If she hadn't witnessed Lin Mo's strength.

She would really want to give Lin Mo a good lecture on the difficulty of earning points.

But then, Luo Siyue thought about it.

Forget it...

After all, the points Lin Mo earned from killing the Thorn Flower Demon were indeed more.

He wasn't wrong to say that.

"Are you sure you want to try? Your life is important!"

Lin Mo nodded.

"Since we're already here."

"Of course we have to earn more points."

"If we just leave like this, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

As he spoke, Lin Mo added another sentence.

"If you feel it's not safe, you can escape first and wait for me outside."

Luo Siyue opened her mouth.

Theoretically, this is indeed the safest plan.

But!

She looked at Lin Mo.

And then looked at the approaching BOSS, the Headless Prince, in the distance.

She sighed deeply.

"Forget it. If I leave, you'll probably be even more clueless."

"You don't even know the BOSS's skills."

"I'll just stay."

As soon as Luo Siyue finished speaking.

The BOSS, the Headless Prince, had already appeared in front of the two.

Lin Mo's gaze fell upon it.

Even without counting its head, this guy's figure was a full 1.9 meters tall.

Wearing a once-gorgeous prince's suit, though the suit had decayed so much that its original color could no longer be seen.

Only a deathly gray remained.

The golden epaulets on its shoulders were also only half left.

Its neck was empty, looking as if it had been severed at the root by a Sharp Weapon.

However, the wound was extremely smooth.

And in the center of the wound, a candle stood quietly.

The bottom of the arm-thick white candle had already merged with its severed neck.

A ball of eerie blue flame was burning on the black wick.

This flame was very quiet, completely unaffected by the wind, and just burned silently.

His arms were extremely uncoordinated.

The right arm was significantly thicker than the left, and even the skin color was somewhat different.

There was also a large hole in his chest, and inside the empty chest cavity was a withered black rose.

Looking closely, one would find that the flesh exposed in the chest area also clearly had traces of stitched wounds.

The overall feeling could only be described with the word "eerie."

Behind him came the sound of Luo Siyue gasping.

"I heard this guy is a monster pieced together from princes in several fairy tales."

"This appearance is just too..."
