Xian Meng'er flicked her slender jade hand, and the golden rope came alive.
With a flash of golden light, it tightly bound the three-headed demon lion, leaving it unable to move.
Instantly, expressions of terror erupted from the six eyes of the three-headed demon lion.
It struggled frantically, roaring in defiance, trying to break free from the rope's restraint.
However, this was no ordinary rope; the more the three-headed demon lion struggled, the tighter it became.
At this moment, Xian Meng'er slowly walked up to the three-headed demon lion, raising her immortal sword high.
"Beast! Your life shall contribute something to my lord!"
As her words fell, the immortal sword flashed with a cold gleam and landed at the three-headed demon lion's neck.
Three massive heads fell in unison, and its colossal body crashed to the ground.
In the sky, a white light streaked across and descended directly upon Xian Meng'er's head.
Instantly, Xian Meng'er was enveloped in a layer of sacred golden immortal light, her aura surging.
Xian Meng'er broke through the peak of Tier 5 and entered the lower Tier 6!
Xian Yi and Xian Er looked at Xian Meng'er with even greater reverence.
Even Mo Yi, a demon soldier who had always been defiant towards the immortal race, had eyes filled with admiration.
This was the influence of great power!
If they also possessed such strength, how could they have been injured today?
Meanwhile, at the territory's city.
On the main hall's pavilion.
A white light also projected onto Xiao Mo's head.
Xiao Mo felt a warmth spread through his body, and his various attributes and strength increased significantly.
As the white light dissipated, an information prompt appeared before Xiao Mo's eyes.
[Killed Elite Tier 5 Peak Three-Headed Demon Lion King, Spiritual Power +50]
This message caused Xiao Mo to leap from his chair, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Xian Meng'er was indeed fighting an elite-tier demon beast, and she killed it!"
"Does this mean my Soul Crystal is within reach?!"
It was not Xiao Mo's fault for being so excited; he had been waiting for the Soul Crystal for far too long.
Upgrading the troop building earlier would allow him to increase his strength faster, so how could he not be anxious?
To upgrade the Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool to Tier 2, it required 100 Immortal-Demon Stones and 1 Soul Crystal.
The 100 Immortal-Demon Stones had long been gathered, with only one Soul Crystal missing.
Now, it seemed one Soul Crystal would soon be in hand!
The Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool would be able to upgrade soon!
Just then, Xian Meng'er, leading the Immortal-Demon Squad, returned to the territory with the spoils of war.
Xiao Mo hurried to the plaza, and his eyes immediately fell upon the mountain-like corpse of the three-headed demon lion.
However, when he reached the Immortal-Demon Squad, he discovered that besides Xian Meng'er, the other three had all been injured.
"What happened? Why are you injured?"
Xiao Mo asked with concern.
Xian Meng'er immediately knelt on one knee and apologized to Xiao Mo.
"Reporting to Master, it is all Meng'er's fault. Meng'er failed to protect them as you instructed!"
"No! We voluntarily challenged Tier 5 Mid-grade demon beasts. It has nothing to do with the captain!"
Xian Yi, Xian Er, and Mo Yi also knelt down simultaneously, defending Xian Meng'er.
Thus, Xiao Mo understood what had happened.
It turned out that these three soldiers, wanting to increase their strength quickly, had actively challenged Tier 5 Low-grade and Mid-grade demon beasts.
Although they had all suffered injuries of varying degrees, Mo Yi had successfully advanced to Tier 5 Low-grade, while Xian Yi and Xian Er had advanced to Tier 5 Mid-grade.
Xian Meng'er, by killing the Tier 5 Peak Three-Headed Demon Lion King, had also advanced to Tier 6 Low-grade.
"It's alright, Meng'er did nothing wrong! But in the future, you must pay attention to safety and avoid injuries! You are all important members of the territory, and I will not allow you to be injured easily!"
Xiao Mo's words were very serious, and the Immortal-Demon Squad was filled with gratitude, shouting in unison with fervor:
"We are willing to go through fire and water for our Master, without hesitation! We only wish to pave a path to the heavens for our Master, and lead us to stand at the pinnacle of the world!"
"Good! Excellent!"
Xiao Mo nodded, then instructed the Immortal-Demon Squad to rest and recover from their injuries first.
However, they were simultaneously refused by the three soldiers.
"Master, do not worry. Due to the advancement in our strength, our injuries have already healed!"
Xiao Mo had no choice but to agree to their continued hunting expeditions, while he began to harvest and decompose the demon beast corpses.
There were a total of eight demon beast corpses below Tier 5 Mid-grade. He harvested 300 units of food and several other resources.
The last three-headed demon lion was different from the other demon beasts.
[Successfully decomposed Three-Headed Demon Lion King corpse]
[Obtained 1 Soul Crystal, 1 sheet of Demon Lion Fur, 2 Elite Beast Fangs, 30 units of Elite Demon Lion Meat]
[PS: Elite Demon Lion Meat is a special food. Consuming it can enhance one's strength and increase Spiritual Power.]
This prompt message made Xiao Mo's heart stir.
It seemed this three-headed demon lion meat could be traded separately, and it might even attract some powerful figures.
Thus, Xiao Mo put the 300 units of food on the market, along with the 100 units of food harvested previously.
As for the 30 units of three-headed demon lion meat, Xiao Mo kept 10 units for himself, and the rest were all put up for trade.

[Latest Trading News]
[1 unit of Food, exchanged for 30 units of Wood or 20 units of Stone]
[Current Food: 400 units]
[Also: 1 unit of Elite Three-Headed Demon Lion Meat, exchanged for 5 Immortal-Demon Stones]
[Or exchanged for Spirit Stones and other special items]
[Current Three-Headed Demon Lion Meat: 20 units]
[PS: Elite Demon Lion Meat is a special food. Consuming it can enhance one's strength and increase Spiritual Power.]
Since the "official" platform stated that this three-headed demon lion meat could enhance strength, it certainly could.
However, regarding how much it could enhance, Xiao Mo had tried it earlier.
After consuming a large piece of demon lion meat, he only gained 1 point of Spiritual Power. This meant 1 unit could increase Spiritual Power by 5 points.
Therefore, setting such a price for exchange, although still somewhat exorbitant, would still have many willing to trade.
Especially those lords who had already established themselves!
However, this exchange was somewhat beyond Xiao Mo's expectations.
It took over an hour for only half of the 400 units of food to be traded.
This speed was significantly slower than previous trades.
But after a moment of thought, Xiao Mo understood.
All the lords had summoned their second wave of troops, and even the weakest among them were capable of fighting Tier 1 or even Tier 2 demon beasts.
Naturally, this provided them with a source of food, eliminating the need to exchange for this high-priced food.
Moreover, many powerful lords had also seen the business opportunity and were hunting demon beasts in large quantities. After stockpiling enough food for their own needs, they put their surplus food on the market.
Hadn't the [Myriad Races Trading Platform] always shown messages about food trading and exchanges?
Furthermore, these lords were not as greedy as Xiao Mo; they traded at market prices.
Therefore, unless a lord was starving, desperate, or completely out of their mind, they wouldn't foolishly trade for Xiao Mo's food.
It could be said that Xiao Mo was now "infamous" in the entire lord community!
His recognition was indeed high, but this kind of recognition...
It was better left unsaid!
