After several hours of bloody battle, the demonic beasts attacking the Immortal Demon tribe's city were finally cleared.
Xiao Mo leaned on his spear, exhaling slowly. Immediately after, a dazzling golden light erupted in the sky.
Xiao Mo, along with the entire Immortal Demon battle team, was enveloped by the golden light.
This was a sign of strength advancement!
After a long while, the golden light gradually dissipated.
Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with surprise.
His strength had directly advanced from sixth-tier mid-grade to seventh-tier peak, just one step away from eighth-tier.
This was almost a leapfrog increase.
It seemed that personally participating in battles yielded much more spiritual power than sharing it from the Immortal Demon battle team's engagements.
The Immortal Demon soldiers also greatly improved, and the overall strength of the Immortal Demon battle team reached a new level.
After the battle, Xian Meng'er successfully advanced to tenth-tier mid-grade.
Xian Qing'er also broke through the ninth-tier limit, reaching tenth-tier low-grade strength.
Mo Jingjing also experienced a leapfrog increase, directly advancing to tenth-tier low-grade.
After all, her Legion Divine Skill [Demon Flame Spreading All Over the Land] had killed nearly a thousand demonic beasts in one go; it would have been strange if there hadn't been such a significant improvement.
The remaining soldiers also showed immense improvement.
One ninth-tier peak.
Two ninth-tier mid-grade.
Three ninth-tier low-grade.
Three eighth-tier peak.
Four eighth-tier mid-grade.
Three eighth-tier low-grade.
Six seventh-tier peak.
Five seventh-tier mid-grade.
This meant that the lowest strength of the Immortal Demon battle team was now seventh-tier mid-grade.
Moreover, they possessed three tenth-tier soldiers, equivalent to three King-level creatures.
If the Black Python from that day dared to provoke him now, Xiao Mo was confident he could ensure it would never return.
Furthermore, the [Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool] had been upgraded to level three.
The number of Immortal Demon soldiers that could be reincarnated daily had reached eight.
A faint smile curved Xiao Mo's lips. He could already envision an Immortal Demon legion bowing respectfully to him.
At this moment, the night sky in the distance grew darker but had become very quiet.
The frenzied roars of demonic beasts and the eerie, ghost-fire-like green eyes were gone.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo felt that at least tonight, no more demonic beasts would come to him as easy prey.
Following this, Xiao Mo counted the total number of demonic beast corpses in the vicinity.
There were as many as two thousand, not including the nearly thousand that Mo Jingjing had reduced to ashes with her demon flame.
Among them, there were about twenty-odd corpses of Commander-level demonic beasts.
Half of the remaining were Elite-level demonic beast corpses, ranging from fifth-tier peak to seventh-tier peak.
If this demonic beast force had been faced by any other lord, their territory would likely have been overrun and they would have been thoroughly eliminated.
Only Xiao Mo, with his powerful Immortal Demon battle team, could handle it so leisurely.
Most importantly, all these demonic beast corpses were located within fifty meters of the city gate.
This meant that not a single demonic beast had managed to breach the Immortal Demon battle team's defense line.
All the demonic beasts had met their end within fifty meters of the city gate, becoming corpses and a bloody spectacle.
The night sky in the distance grew darker, clearly the last trace of darkness before the dawn.
When dawn arrived and the warm sun rose.
The first night crisis after the novice protection shield disappeared would officially end.
...
The Immortal Demon battle team began clearing the battlefield, with some remaining on the city walls, vigilant and dutiful.
With free time on his hands, Xiao Mo's first thought was of Dou Xiaodou in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He wondered how that little brat was doing.
However, given the brat's luck and the allegiance of the goblin elite warriors, defending his territory should be no problem.
[Little Douzi! How are things on your end?]
Opening the [Friend Message], Xiao Mo found his only friend in the list and sent a message.
Xiao Mo had never been to the Hundred Thousand Mountains region and was naturally unfamiliar with the situation there.
He only recalled the brat mentioning during casual chats that the area seemed more dangerous than other regions, with harsher and more brutal environments.
After all, it was a deep mountain wilderness, teeming with various demonic beasts and ferocious beasts.
Moreover, the demonic beasts there were more bloodthirsty and violent, and were more strongly affected by the encroachment of the night.
In short, the Hundred Thousand Mountains was a paradise for birds and beasts!
When the brat received Xiao Mo's message, he replied quickly.
[Big Brother, you don't need to worry! Grandpa Tyron and the goblin warrior group have successfully repelled the demonic beasts, and my Undead Home is safe and sound. However, it's a pity that over a dozen goblin warriors from the goblin warrior group were sacrificed...]
[Alright! I understand! Sacrifices are normal in war, as long as the territory is safe!]
Xiao Mo sent back this reply, not bothering to comfort the brat.
This was war; war was cruel, and sacrifices were inevitable.
Even his own Immortal Demon battle team had two soldiers who had nearly perished under the claws of a Commander-level demonic beast just now.
If Xian Qing'er, who was primarily responsible for support and had been observing the battlefield, hadn't been paying attention, his two weakest Immortal Demon soldiers might truly have been sacrificed.
Although Immortal Demon soldiers could be revived in the [Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool] if they were sacrificed,
It was better to avoid sacrifice if possible.
After all, reviving soldiers also consumed energy from the Reincarnation Pool.
Another reason for not comforting the brat was to temper him.
After all, he was a boy and couldn't always rely on others; he needed to face this cruel world on his own.
Letting him experience the cruelty of this world now and urging him to adapt quickly was a good thing for him.
If everything were to be shielded under his wing, it would be detrimental to the brat's development.
After a few more casual chats, Xiao Mo exited the chat interface.
It was already four or five in the morning. Although he felt incredibly sleepy, he knew he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep.
There were still two thousand demonic beast corpses piled up outside, their bloody scent wafting, waiting for him to deal with.
After all the demonic beast corpses were collected and decomposed, the obtained food would be stored in the warehouse.
Then, Xiao Mo first inventoried the materials obtained from decomposing the demonic beast corpses.
A moment later, the Immortal Demon soldiers who had cleared the battlefield brought a large pile of spoils to Xiao Mo.
Thirteen hundred Immortal Demon Stones, fourteen Soul Crystals.
The sheer quantity of these two items alone made Xiao Mo's eyes gleam.
Then, upon seeing the three blueprints handed over by the Immortal Demon soldiers, Xiao Mo's breathing quickened.
These were blueprints! And three of them!
In the past nine days, the Immortal Demon battle team had hunted countless demonic beasts, and coupled with eliminating two local factions, they had only obtained two blueprints.
This wave of war tonight had yielded three blueprints at once.
For Xiao Mo, this was undoubtedly an unprecedented massive harvest!
