Chapter 653

Mo Wen's body, which was hidden in the mountain, was completely exposed under the moonlight. At the same time, a terrifying aura swept over in an overwhelming manner.

"No way!" Mo Wen exclaimed softly. He had actually been discovered by an illusionary beast! Before this, when he had chosen this place to hide, there had been no illusionary beasts around. Also, he was confident in his Breath Concealing Technique. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would not be able to discover him if they were far away.

Unless, by chance, the Martial Arts Grandmaster had also chosen to hide near this cave.

But at this moment, he had actually been discovered by an illusionary beast. There had been no warning at all.

Also, the illusionary beast outside was rather terrifying. Its terrifying aura caused even Mo Wen to tremble. It was definitely an illusionary beast of the Martial Arts Grandmaster level!

Mo Wen did not wait for the illusionary beast to completely dig open the cave. With a flash of his silhouette, a beam of golden light enveloped his entire body. The next moment, his entire body shimmered with golden light. He was like a golden Luohan. He furiously slammed into the rock ceiling of the cave, directly shattering the rock. He transformed into a beam of golden light and shot out of the mountain.

Almost the instant he flew out of the mountain, the entire cave completely collapsed. A terrifying force crushed down on the cave, directly crushing the cave and the surrounding rocks into dust.

After Mo Wen escaped from the cave, he hurriedly glanced behind him. He discovered that in front of the cave stood a huge creature. It was at least 50 meters tall, like a small moving mountain.

The huge creature was covered in brown fur. A circle of gray light enveloped it, causing Mo Wen to be unable to see it clearly. However, he could roughly tell that it was a bear-type monstrous beast. It was a brown bear that lived in the forest.

The power of Qi and blood emanating from its body could almost bury the entire forest. In terms of cultivation, it was most likely not inferior to Beast Kings like the Fire Snake King and the Fire Scorpion King in the Fire Domain. Compared to the Giant Crocodile Beast King, it was probably only slightly weaker.

If he encountered such a mythical beast, Mo Wen would naturally be no match for it. He could only run away. With a flash of his figure, he dashed into the depths of the forest.

Roar! Roar!

Roar! The huge brown bear discovered that its prey had escaped and was attempting to escape from its grasp. It immediately roared angrily, turning around and taking huge strides. It chased after Mo Wen.

The huge brown bear continuously roared angrily. The roars formed sound waves that spread wildly in the direction that Mo Wen had escaped.

The formless sound waves were very fast, almost faster than the speed of sound. They caught up to Mo Wen in the blink of an eye. They enveloped Mo Wen.

Mo Wen's body shook a little, but he was not affected at all. He continued to run forward.

The huge brown bear had clearly launched a sound wave attack at him. However, even though Mo Wen's cultivation was not very high, his soul power was not even comparable to that of an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster. The huge brown bear's roar had little to no effect on him.

The sounds of pursuit behind him grew softer and softer. Mo Wen quickly escaped from the huge brown bear's pursuit.

Fortunately, monstrous beasts like the brown bear were not good at speed. After Mo Wen unleashed the Glory of Wind twice in a row, he completely shook it off. After unleashing the Glory of Wind twice, he completely shook it off.

Of course, Mo Wen was the only one who could so easily escape from the huge brown bear Beast King's pursuit. If it had been any other ancient martial art practitioner, even if they had Mo Wen's speed, they would have had to be able to withstand the brown bear Beast King's sound wave roar in order to escape.

Even a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would most likely find it difficult to withstand the sound wave attack of a Beast King.

After escaping from the pursuit, Mo Wen became even more cautious. He found an even more remote cave. He prepared to go into seclusion to recover his inner Qi.

However, he had not expected that he would once again be discovered by an illusionary beast.

Also, this time, the one that had discovered him was not a Beast King level monstrous beast. Instead, it was just a sixth rank monstrous beast with low cultivation.

After the sixth rank monstrous beast barged into Mo Wen's cave, it was casually killed by Mo Wen.

Originally, Mo Wen had thought that this was just an accident and that it would be peaceful after this.

However, something unexpected happened. In less than a quarter of an hour, another illusionary beast came looking for him. This time, it was just a very low rank fifth rank monstrous beast.

Mo Wen was somewhat astonished. How could such a fifth or sixth rank illusionary beast have discovered him? How could it have found its way over?

If it had happened once, it might have been an accident. However, if it happened a few times in a row, then it was definitely not an accident.

Mo Wen sat in the cave, bewildered and uncertain. He waited for about the time it took to drink a cup of tea. As expected, another illusionary beast had found its way over. It seemed to know that Mo Wen was hiding here. It directly barged into the cave.

In less than an hour, seven or eight illusionary beasts had entered Mo Wen's cave. Although their cultivation levels were not high and they did not pose much of a threat to Mo Wen, they had interrupted Mo Wen's seclusion, causing him to be unable to recover his inner Qi.

Finally, another terrifying aura fluctuation came from afar, and it was constantly approaching. Although it was not a Beast King, it was still a monstrous beast at the pinnacle of the seventh rank. Mo Wen was still no match for it.

Helpless, he could only give up on the cave and escape.

After that, Mo Wen found three or four caves in a row. In the end, without exception, all of them were discovered by the illusionary beasts. It was as though the places he was hiding were like light bulbs in the dark. He could not hide from the illusionary beasts at all.

"What's going on?"

Mo Wen once again escaped from the cave. He flew up a cliff and looked down at the forest below. His expression was uncertain.

After a few attempts, he finally confirmed that he could not hide at all in this world. No matter where he hid, he would be discovered by the illusionary beasts.

In other words, it was impossible for him to have a chance to rest, let alone recover his inner Qi.

"If I can't recover my inner Qi, won't I be forcing all the human ancient martial art practitioners to their deaths?"

Mo Wen took a deep breath. If he could not recover his inner Qi and was constantly disturbed, the human ancient martial art practitioners would most likely die at the hands of these illusionary beasts before the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings appeared.

"What should I do?"

Mo Wen had not expected that the path before him would be a dead end.

It shouldn't be!

Since the Tower Spirit had created this Game of Death, it was impossible for the human ancient martial art practitioners to have no chance at all. If that was the case, the outcome was already set in stone. Then what was the point of continuing this Game of Death?

There must be a solution. It shouldn't be like this.

Mo Wen's eyes flashed. He suddenly looked down at the forest below. He only knew a little about the rules of this world. There were other mysterious things that he definitely did not understand right now. Perhaps the answer lay in the mistakes that he was still unaware of.

Since there were things like Healing Lights and Unsealing Lights that could allow ancient martial art practitioners' inner Qi to be used as spiritual power, there must certainly be other things that were helpful to human ancient martial art practitioners.

Mo Wen's silhouette flashed and he jumped off the cliff, pouncing towards the illusionary beasts that were wandering in the forest.

Right now, only by continuously killing the illusionary beasts would he be able to learn more of this world's secrets. It was because everything had to be done after killing the illusionary beasts.

Mo Wen had just entered the forest when the illusionary beasts sensed his aura.

Then, the illusionary beasts approached him one by one.

Mo Wen did not even wait for them to come over. He held the spiritual weapon flying dagger in his hand and went straight for them. With his current ability, even if he encountered a later stage seventh rank monstrous beast, he would still have the ability to kill it.

There were flashes of knives and shadows of swords.

Mo Wen continuously poured out inner Qi recovery pills from the medicine spiritual ring and swallowed them. Then, he continuously killed the illusionary beasts. Even though this could not completely solve the problem of his inner Qi depletion, it could slightly prolong the time that his inner Qi was depleted.

Later on, when he encountered some fifth or sixth rank illusionary beasts, Mo Wen did not even need to use his inner Qi. He directly used his powerful flesh to tear the monstrous beasts apart.

However, after killing for a long time, he still did not trigger anything.

Finally, when Mo Wen encountered a beginning stage seventh rank monstrous beast and killed it, there was a flash of light where he had been standing. A mass of red light appeared.

It was the Healing Light.

Another Healing Light appeared.

The Healing Light was also divided into four grades: low grade, medium grade, top grade, and superb grade.

Different grades of the Healing Light had different healing effects and areas of effect. It was said that the top grade Healing Light could regrow severed limbs and regenerate organs. As long as the superb grade Healing Light was not completely dead, it could completely recover.

The Healing Light that Mo Wen had obtained was still a low-grade Healing Light. It could only heal some ordinary internal injuries and less serious external injuries.

"Could it be that only illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and above will drop items?"

A look of thought flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. The few times that items had dropped were because he had killed illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and above.

Before this, he had killed so many illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and below, but not a single item had dropped. At most, it had turned into starlight and unsealed his cultivation.

However, this power could only unseal his cultivation and could not restore his inner Qi.

However, even if he killed illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and above, he might not necessarily drop items. Before this, he had killed four or five illusionary beasts of the beginning stage of the seventh rank, but nothing had dropped.

Clearly, dropping items was a matter of chance. Everything depended on luck. Also, only illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and above would drop items.

After coming to this conclusion, Mo Wen stopped killing illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and below.

Mo Wen did not bother killing illusionary beasts of the seventh rank and below. If he encountered one, he would just avoid it. Such illusionary beasts had low cultivation after unsealing and would not drop any items. They were not worth much at all.

Fortunately, there were illusionary beasts everywhere in this world. There were quite a number of monstrous beasts of the seventh rank and above. In a short while, Mo Wen had found five or six.

After he killed a monstrous beast of the beginning stage of the seventh rank, it finally dropped a ball of light that was different from the others. It was a ball of blue light.

After Mo Wen held the ball of blue light in his hand, a look of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes.

When he held the blue light, the information about the blue light appeared in his mind.

As expected, his previous guess was not wrong. The problem was still with the items dropped. Although the Tower Spirit did not give human ancient martial art practitioners the chance to go into seclusion to cultivate, it gave them another way to make up for it. In other words, in this world, there was no need for human ancient martial art practitioners to go into seclusion to cultivate at all. Instead, it was a waste of time.

Recovery Light!

This ball of blue light was called Recovery Light. As the name suggested, the function of the blue light was to recover Inner Qi. It allowed ancient martial art practitioners to instantly recover a large amount of Inner Qi. No panacea that Mo Wen had could compare to the recovery effect of this ball of blue light.
