Li Mo said, “I can help, but I have one small request.”
“I’m too weak, I’ll die if I go.” Lin Qingrou stepped back.
Li Mo smiled at her, “Young miss Lin, you’re reading too much into it. I never had any intention of you helping me.”
“Young miss Lin?”
“Silver Heroine is a Lin?”
“Team leader Li knows Silver Heroine’s name?”
The experts were gossiping.
Yang Hongying shouted, “You don’t know? The grand and renowned Silver Heroine is the genius of the Lin clan, Elder Lin’s niece, Lin Qingrou.”
Yang Hongying was there as well. She knew of Lin Qingrou’s name because Li Mo told her.
Shocking~
Lin Yourong frowned, and Lin Qingrou removed her mask, showing the resemblance with her aunt.
Lin Yourong and Lin Qingrou were strikingly similar, be it in stature or figure. One would take them as sisters if they stood abreast.
If there were any notable difference to speak of, that would be being top heavy. But that was beside the point, since Lin Qingrou was only 16 and had room to grow aplenty.
Zheng Lifeng said, “Team leader Li, state your request.”
“My request is to wait for tomorrow.”
Wa~
The place was in an uproar, with many laughing at Li Mo.
“You might as well admit you’re scared…”
“Is that even a request? Get lost.”
Zheng Lifeng felt helpless, “Team leader Li, if you don’t want to help, you should’ve just said so, not look for an excuse.”
Li Mo smiled in reply. He said his piece. With his personality, he would never care what others thought of him.
With Li Mo out and Zheng Lifeng wounded, the stalemate held for half an hour. It forced Zheng Lifeng to declare today’s attack over, deciding on waiting out for Thunderstruck Enterprise’s team and attack together.
Fei Yanlai took them out of the desert, to the tents erected just at the edge.
The campfire was lit, the barbecue started, and the wine was flowing. Everyone partook in the relaxation.
Li Mo sat in his tent, his breath even, waiting until nightfall. He then shoved a hand into the earth, and the ground came alive. It took the shape of Li Mo laying on the quilt, sleeping, and replicating even his breathing.
Earth magical art – Earth Puppet.
It wasn’t an earth clone, a magical art Li Mo didn’t know anyway, it was just having the earth took the form of his body. But the Earth Puppet couldn’t move, nor could he control it. It’s only use was to deceive people.
With the Earth Puppet giving a perfect alibi, Li Mo popped close to the stargate with an earth qi jade.
Just earlier today, he placed a Stellar Orientation Array on the sly so he could come at night.
It wasn’t cowardice that made Li Mo refuse to help Zheng Lifeng, his aim was entirely different.
The four nagas didn’t guard a time-space rupture, but a transfer array that could cross galaxies, a Gate.
Just how many galaxies linked this Gate? How many aliens could cross over at one time?
The realms beyond the Gate were too terrifying for the current expert team to face.
Li Mo’s only hope right now was that the Gate didn’t link too many galaxies or even he wouldn’t be able to break it.
Li Mo neared it and the Naga guards came out.
Naga, or yuan-ti, had the petrifying eyes as their trait. The green rays shooting from their eyes would petrify anything it touched and encompass the entire targe. If Zheng Lifeng was any slower in removing that piece of flesh, he’d ended up a statue.
Ssss~
The Nagas shot four green rays at him.
Li Mo’s hand held a bottle from his ring and threw water. The green ray hit the water and vanished.
It was the only thing the Naga’s eyes couldn’t petrify, and its only counter.
With but a simple Warp, Li Mo punched every naga once.
Pu~
Four punches later, all four cyclops’ eyes exploded.
“Ahhhsss~” The Nagas wailed.
Nagas were tough, weapons hardly worked on them. But their strongest attack was also their weakness.
Hum~
Li Mo shot through the Gate.
Inside, he saw galaxies. There was no sky or ground. Where he really was right now was in fact outer space.
Li Mo found with a look no less than thirty Gates.
“How frightening. So many galaxies are already connected. No wonder the aliens invaded Earth in just a few short years…
“Luckily, I don’t see any other race around…”
Li Mo took out precious ingredients from his Star Ring and worked quickly in setting up one defensive array after the other on his Gate.
When he ran out of ingredients, Li Mo finished his 15th array.
Taking a deep breath, he activated the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art.
Covered in a blue spiritual qi glow, Li Mo spread his attraction force through the links to every Gate out there, destroying them one by one…
“Accursed Naga, what have you done? Why are the Gates collapsing?”
A nine-headed bird passed through a Gate, only to have Li Mo vanish his Gate the next second.
The nine-headed bird showed shock at the sight of Li Mo. When the Gate collapsed, only three of his heads passed through, effectively trapping them here.
The three heads wanted to go through, no dice. They wanted to pull back, nada. In his anger, his only choice was to attack Li Mo.
Wind, lightning, and fire bore through eight of Li Mo’s arrays.
The three heads were about to attack again, but the laws of this space took effect, banishing him.
Without a Gate, the space here didn’t allow it to stay.
“Damn it!” The three bird heads glared at Li Mo before vanishing.
“Thank god there’s a silver lining in all this. If one of the eleven fierce races, the Nine-headed race, went through, I’d be a goner.” Li Mo rejoiced.
Li Mo resumed his work on collapsing the rest of the Gates. Coming out of as much as ten Gates, close to a hundred monsters were frenzied as they attacked him.
Hexamand race, Mantis race, Chrysalis race…
There were many others outside the 11 fierce races!
Bam~
Li Mo’s arrays broke down one after the other as the monsters howled in with their attacks.
