This night can be regarded as a torment for Li Mo, but compared with his gains, it was still very worthwhile. The most important thing for Li Mo now is to find a secret place to refine the demon pill in his hand. However, it is not easy to find such a place in this misty forest full of dangers.
Li Mo thought for a long time and finally looked at the Great Sage and asked for help.
"Great Sage, you are very familiar with this misty forest. Can you find me a more secluded place?"
Woo woo woo...
The Great Sage heard Li Mo's words, lifted him up and put him on his shoulders, and then ran towards the depths of the forest.
"Wow! This speed is too abnormal!"
Sitting on the shoulders of the great sage, listening to the whistling wind in his ears, Li Mo couldn't help shouting excitedly. He believed that if the Great Sage was his enemy, the speed he had always been proud of would not be enough.
About an hour later, the scene around the Great Sage and Li Mo suddenly changed. The originally dense trees began to gradually decrease, and hills composed of stones began to appear. The Great Sage stopped in front of a rocky mountain, pointed at a dark cave on the mountain, and called out to Li Mo twice.
Li Mo jumped to the ground and looked at the surrounding environment carefully. After calculating the distance that the Great Sage took him to run, he estimated that he was now very close to the center of the forest.
"Oh my god, it turns out there is such a place in this misty forest. I thought it was all covered with trees! Where is that cave? Is it your residence?"
Woo woo woo...
Hearing Li Mo's words, the Great Sage gave a soft cry twice and ran towards the cave after passing the familiar route.
Li Mo saw this and followed closely. He didn't want to stay in the center of this misty forest.
The entrance of the cave is not big, but the inside is extremely spacious. A tall body like the Great Sage doesn't feel crowded inside at all. Although it's very dark here, I can't see clearly the structure inside the cave. But Li Mo still saw something strange in the smooth stone wall.
"Huh? The stone walls here are obviously man-made. Has anyone ever lived here?"
Woo woo woo...
Just when Li Mo was confused, the Great Sage's voice came from the depths of the cave and interrupted his thoughts.
The structure inside the cave is not complicated. There is only one road leading to the depths of the cave. When Li Mo heard the sound and came to the Great Sage, the guy was lying on a stone platform lazily eating wild fruits nearby.
Seeing this situation, Li Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly. He did not ask the Great Sage about the origin of this cave. Even if he asked the Great Sage, he would not understand. I can only wait until I refine the demon pill before exploring it.
Li Mo walked to the Great Sage, sat cross-legged in the storage belt and took out the demon pill. Immediately, the cave was illuminated in red. Li Mo then carefully looked at the surrounding environment. The surrounding stone walls are as smooth as the outside, and the stone platform on which the Great Sanctuary lies seems to be made by humans. Li Mo even saw some fragments of earthen jars in the corners of the cave. There were various signs that humans must have lived here before.
"I really don't know what kind of person can live in this misty forest."
After sighing, Li Mo looked at the Great Sage again.
"Great Sage, I am going to refine this demon pill now. You must keep it safe!"
Hearing Li Mo's words, the Great Sage Xi Ya made a face at him, then patted his chest like a human and whined twice. It seems to be telling Li Mo that it’s all on me, no problem!
Li Mo smiled slightly when he saw this, and immediately put the fiery red demon pill in his hand into his mouth.
Suddenly, a hot energy surged into his body crazily, and Li Mo felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. When that energy traveled through his eight extraordinary meridians, Li Mo felt as if his body was burning. Although he felt very painful, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
At this time, the Great Sage who was guarding the side saw Li Mo, whose face was distorted and covered with sweat, and came to him and looked at him with wide eyes. However, the Great Sage was not in a hurry, but as if he had known that Li Mo would be in this situation, he observed it for a while and then lay back on the stone platform.
He only ran out of the cave occasionally, and someone came back and poured some on Li Mo's body to help cool him down.
This lasted for three days, which was almost the same time that Li Mo spent refining the demon pill for the tenth-level demon beast in Liuli City. The ferocious expression on Li Mo's face, who was still sitting cross-legged and refining, finally disappeared, replaced by a look of joy. The contrast between before and after was so great that even the Great Sage was a little unexpected and wondered what was going on with Li Mo. But he didn't wake up, and the Great Sage didn't dare to wake him up rashly, so he could only stay by his side with an anxious look on his face.
This continued for two more days, and Li Mo finally opened his eyes.
"Huh... so cool! I didn't expect that this demon pill would bring me such a big gain."
Li Mo took a deep breath and stood up excitedly. The great sage who came in front of him said happily, his expression was like that of a child.
That is to say, the great sage cannot speak, otherwise he must be caught to see if he has gone crazy!
"Huh? Why are my clothes all wet?"
Feeling a chill spreading throughout his body, Li Mo suppressed his anxious excitement.
Woo woo woo...
The Great Sage even gestured and called to explain to Li Mo, but Li Mo couldn't understand it at all.
"Okay, stop talking. No matter how you express yourself, I still can't understand what you are saying. I'll handle this little thing myself!"
With that said, Li Mo distanced himself from the Great Sage and came to the stone platform where the Great Sage slept.
"The flames are raging into the sky!"
After shouting loudly, a layer of fire began to appear on Li Mo's body, and all his clothes were dried in just one breath.
Woo woo woo...
Seeing Li Mo's hand, the Great Sage pointed at Li Mo's body in surprise and shouted!
"Haha... don't worry! Not only did this big bird's demon elixir directly increase my strength to level 50, but I also gained access to his inherited skills! This is a rare fire attribute skill. With it, I can Learn to refine and strengthen my equipment and weapons!”
Hearing Li Mo's words, the Great Sage was also sobbing and walking back and forth in the cave just after waking up, as if he was also happy for Li Mo!
…
Li Mo spent another day adjusting in the cave. After repeated practice, he became more and more proficient in using his fifth skill, Raging Flames. Although the flames released cannot shoot as far as the big bird, he can still completely cover the surrounding ten meters.
As an assassin who specializes in melee attacks and has two long-range attacks with the power of thunder and fire, Li Mo can be said to be the first person in the Tianfeng Empire throughout history. Now with these two skills, he is confident to fight against anyone who is not above level 60! As for monsters, he can easily kill level six monsters, and he can also fight against level seven monsters.
However, he did not forget that the reason why he was able to obtain these was thanks to the Great Sage. If it hadn't appeared in time, I might have been buried in the flames of that big bird!
