Chapter 463: Chapter 229: This Human Is Actually Quite Nice

Lin Mo didn’t really care about the conflict between the Demons.

He just wanted to complete his mission smoothly and grind some Skill Level on the side.

As for so-called fortuitous encounters or scavenging opportunities... honestly, for Lin Mo, who possessed the Skill Proficiency System, it was a nice bonus if they happened, but it didn’t matter if they didn’t.

The distance between Zone 8 and Zone 11 wasn’t that far. They set out early in the morning and arrived at their destination around 8:00 AM.

Compared to Goblins, Petrifying Lizards were much rarer, so they weren’t as easy to find.

Upon entering the territory, Ali immediately began to familiarize herself with the scents in the area.

An Ordinary person couldn’t really discern the subtle differences in the scents of various Demons, but a Half-Beastman like Ali was extremely sensitive to them.

Moreover, even among Half-Beastmen, Ali was the type with an exceptionally strong sense of smell, much more potent than Lena’s.

Shefilya was still scouting nearby, and Lin Mo once again used his [Shadow Splitting] Skill, sending his Clones out to search farther away.

This time, however, the search didn’t go so smoothly.

A good while passed. He had used the [Shadow Splitting] Skill several times, but to no avail.

By now, they had already traveled more than 10 kilometers within Zone 11.

Lin Mo couldn’t help but frown. ’No matter what, they can’t be this hard to find, can they?’ he thought.

’Could it be that their fight with the Bloodmane Wolves from the neighboring zone was too intense, resulting in heavy casualties... or maybe they’ve gathered together, preparing for a massive brawl?’

Just as his mind was wandering, Ali, who had been twitching her nose and discerning scents the whole time, finally spoke up. "Found them! This way!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they followed her westward.

"We’re very close..."

Ali said as she led the way.

Lin Mo stayed close by her side, ready to protect her at a moment’s notice.

The Petrifying Lizards were no threat to him, but they were still quite dangerous for Ali, so he had to be on guard.

"Um... are we getting a little close to Zone 10 now?"

Feney, who was being carried by Shefilya so they could move faster, observed their direction of travel and offered a reminder.

"You’re right..."

Lin Mo realized it too. Indeed, heading west was the exact direction of Zone 10.

"I smell blood."

Ali added.

’Have they already started fighting?’

Lin Mo grew anxious. The mission required him to collect the eyes and tongues of the Petrifying Lizards. If the Bloodmane Wolves ate them, wouldn’t his search have been for nothing?

He made a snap decision, scooping up Ali and picking up the pace. "Tell me the direction. We need to go faster."

"Okay."

Ali was stunned for a moment, then wrapped her arms around his neck and found a comfortable position. "This way..."

Behind them, Shefilya could barely keep up, as Lin Mo wasn’t going at his full speed. But watching the scene ahead, the master and servant—or perhaps, the two sisters—felt a little sour.

After rushing ahead, they quickly arrived at the scene.

Just as he’d expected, Lin Mo saw a dozen or so Bloodmane Wolves surrounding and ganging up on four or five Petrifying Lizards.

Individually, a Bloodmane Wolf was slightly weaker than a Petrifying Lizard.

As a result, two or three petrified Bloodmane Wolves could be seen nearby. They were likely the weaker members of the pack, the first to be taken down.

But a Skill like Petrification wasn’t without its costs. On the contrary, such a special and powerful ability often came with a hefty price. The power gap between the stronger Bloodmane Wolves and the Petrifying Lizards wasn’t that large, so their chances of being petrified were also lower. Coupled with the wolves’ numerical advantage, the situation for the Petrifying Lizards was clearly grim.

One Petrifying Lizard was already lying motionless on the ground, covered in wounds, while the remaining ones were also bleeding to varying degrees.

Lin Mo panicked. He couldn’t be bothered to sit back and watch the tigers fight, waiting to scavenge the leftovers. He immediately put down Ali and charged straight in.

"Don’t touch my treasures!"

As the words left his mouth, he used Flash and appeared directly in front of a Bloodmane Wolf.

The next moment, a powerful "Whip Kick" slammed into the Bloodmane Wolf’s waist.

"Bronze head, iron bones, tofu waist." This trait of Wolf Type creatures was still effective on Demon Wolves. Not even the Werewolves of the Beastman Race, or even a Half-Beastman like Ali, were immune.

Ali’s physique was actually on the athletic side. While she wasn’t overly muscular, she was still quite toned—except for her waist, which was incredibly soft...

Lin Mo’s Whip Kick sent that Bloodmane Wolf flying dozens of meters.

The Bloodmane Wolf didn’t even struggle; it went still the moment it landed.

Lin Mo’s kick had directly shattered its internal organs.

[Flash] Skill Level +25

[Whip Kick] Skill Level +25

’This Skill is about to level up.’

Yesterday, Lin Mo and his party had dealt with another wave of Goblins. In that battle, he had focused on practicing several Skills and gained more Skill Level for them. For instance, his Whip Kick, which had just reached Level 4, had already gained about half the Skill Level needed to level up again.

’One more!’

Lin Mo struck again... with his foot. He dodged to the side of another Bloodmane Wolf and, repeating his previous move, launched a Whip Kick that killed it in one blow.

[Whip Kick] Skill Level +25

’Both Bloodmane Wolves were Level 4. The Skill Level they gave was pretty good.’

"Skill [Whip Kick] Level 4 (100/100) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Whip Kick] Level 5 (3/180)"

’Just one more level, and this Skill will evolve too.’

After his strength increased, the opponents he killed were stronger, and the speed at which he gained Skill Level and improved his Skills was also much faster than before.

Lin Mo’s sudden appearance instantly threw the once-clear battle situation into chaos.

The Bloodmane Wolves were completely dumbfounded. They had been fighting those lizards just a moment ago and were on the verge of winning. Where did this human suddenly come from?

And he’d killed two of their kind with just two kicks...

The Petrifying Lizards were also stunned. ’What’s going on? Reinforcements?’

’Since when did we have human reinforcements?’

But regardless, their desperate situation had taken a turn for the better.

’This human is actually pretty nice...’

The Petrifying Lizards didn’t miss the opportunity and immediately launched a counterattack.

For a moment, the battle became even more intense and chaotic.

[Rapid Charge Fist]!

Lin Mo rushed in front of a Bloodmane Wolf and punched it in the jaw.

His speed was simply too fast for these Bloodmane Wolves to react. The punch sent the wolf flying into the sky, giving it a taste of what it was like to be a "Celestial Wolf."

[Rapid Charge Fist] Skill Level +30

’Oh, this one was Level 5.’

After this Bloodmane Wolf was violently killed, the morale of the surrounding wolves clearly plummeted. The ferocity on their faces faded, their will to fight diminished, and one or two even tucked their tails and turned to flee.

’Could the one I just killed have been the leader of this Bloodmane Wolf pack?’

’This is a bit awkward.’

Lin Mo scratched his head as he watched the Petrifying Lizards, now fired up and pressing their counterattack.

The next second, he strode forward and ran his Sword through one of the Petrifying Lizards.

His sudden "betrayal" stunned both sides once again.

’So he wasn’t helping them (the other side) after all!’

And so, the already chaotic situation completely fell apart. Some were caught up in the heat of battle and kept fighting, some had already started to run, and others...

...were experiencing the free "sky-flying" service.

[Rapid Charge Fist] didn’t have to be a forward charge; it could also be an upward one. This kind of "Upper Hook" was surprisingly satisfying to use, and Lin Mo found himself getting addicted.

As for those who tried to escape, someone was naturally there to take care of them.

Shefilya had already put Feney down. After confirming there were no other dangers in the vicinity, she had taken up her position at top speed, specifically targeting the Demons that ran far away and killing them in a few moves.

In no time at all, all the Bloodmane Wolves and Petrifying Lizards had become corpses.
