Chapter 53

Su Mo rushed into the mountain forest, seeing lush ancient trees with no end in sight.
Roars of beasts spread from the forest and the air was mingled with the demonic Qi.
More than 100 people rushed into the vast mountain forest and quickly disappeared.
The Qingyuan Trial Test gave full play to kill, thus, everyone kept a distance from others consciously to ensure their safety.
But Su Mo and Niu Xiaohu did not separate. They ran like the wind together in the mountain forest.
"Xiaohu, are you with me or on your own?" asked Su Mo.
After some thoughts, Niu Xiaohu said, "Senior Brother Su Mo, I'll go alone!"
Niu Xiaohu wanted to go alone not because he did not trust Su Mo.
Although he was simple and honest, he was not foolish. If they were together, who would be responsible for killing and who would gain the Demonic Cores? It was a problem.
So he chose to go alone.
"OK, be careful!"
Su Mo nodded. He did not stop him.
"Yeah, Senior Brother Su Mo, be careful, too. I have to go."
Niu Xiaohu nodded and ran quickly in another direction.
Watching Niu Xiaohu leave, Su Mo took a deep breath and went into the deep mountain forest.
Demonic beasts were all over the forest. It was also a heavenly and treasured place for increasing cultivation for Su Mo.
It had been a long time since he had killed demonic beasts and swallowed blood essence on Breezewind Mountain.
He would swallow blood essence with abandon this time.
Boom!
After killing a Class 6 Lv 1 Cyan-eyed Tiger, Su Mo looked around. He released his Martial Soul to fully swallow its Beast Soul and blood essence instantly.
Although the level of a Class 6 Lv 1 demonic beast was too low, and the Beast Soul and the blood essence were of little benefit to Su Mo, something was better than nothing.
He would certainly not give up the prey in front.
He took out the Demonic Core, leaving behind the withered dead body.
Although a Class 6 Lv 1 Demonic Core was useless in this trial test, it was still valuable.
Several hundred meters away, Su Mo heard a roar. At the same time, six Cyan-eyed Tigers ran quickly toward him.
"Haha!"
Su Mo was not frightened to see so many demonic beasts on Qingyuan Island. He was happy.
So many demonic beasts had appeared in such a short time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Su Mo waved his fists to smash the six tigers instantly, causing a rain of blood.
Su Mo let his Martial Soul out again and devoured the Beast Souls and the blood essence.
However, a forced smile soon appeared on his face.
He had devoured the six Beast Souls, but only 20% of the blood essence.
The six Cyan-eyed Tigers had burst into residue and their blood was immersed into the ground, thus, 80% of the blood was wasted.
"I shouldn't kill demonic beasts so crazily!"
Depressed, he shook his head and advanced again.
There were indeed many demonic beasts on Qingyuan Island. The density of demonic beasts in the mountain forest was much higher than that on Breezewind Mountain.
Almost two hours later, Su Mo was deep in the mountain forest, where he met demonic beasts with higher levels.
Hiss!
Hearing a hiss, he saw a giant yellow python. It was tens of meters long and as thick as a bucket. It rushed from the grass and opened its bloody mouth, ready to bite his head.
Su Mo could smell its stench.
The strength of the python was equivalent to the Peak of Class 8 Lv 1.
"You're courting death!"
Su Mo howled. He glided over the python's attack and rode it until he hit its head.
Bang!
The python's rock-like skull was crushed. Fresh blood and white brains splashed out.
"What?"
Devouring the python's blood essence and Beast Soul, he heard beasts roaring and the sound of fighting from a faraway place.
Judging from the sound, Su Mo could tell that there were at least ten demonic beasts.
With Su Mo's present strength, he could make his genuine Qi flow to his ears, then feel any disturbance or trouble within 500 meters.
"Maybe it's a group of beasts. Go and see!" Su Mo thought to himself.
He took the Demonic Core of the python out and ran in the direction of the noise.
He did not want to miss so many demonic beasts. His cultivation had been at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm. Besides, he had swallowed a great deal of beast blood essence.
He could feel that he was ready to break through his realm.
Su Mo soon came to a valley.
It was the place where the roars and sounds of fierce fighting had just come from.
Jumping up into a big tree in the mouth of the valley, he looked carefully into the valley.
He saw 30 to 40 giant black wolves gathering. This kind of wolf was called the Ironteeth Wolf. They were demonic beasts at the Peak of Class 8 Lv 1.
In the wolf pack, he saw an Ironteeth Wolf king. Its physique was bigger than the others. The Ironteeth Wolf king was clearly a Class 9 Lv 1 demonic beast.
At the moment, the wolf pack was sieging upon two young men.
The two young men were new disciples of Gale Island. They were both thin and extremely similar, thus, it was clear that they were brothers.
Their cultivations had reached the Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm.
Although they had great strength, they could not fight against the entire pack. They had killed more than ten wolves, but they were also wounded.
Besides, the Ironteeth Wolf king gave sneak attacks from time to time, thus, the two young disciples were not in an optimistic situation.
"Hey buddy, since you're here, why not give us a hand?"
One of the youths saw Su Mo hiding in the tree and shouted to him.
"Have I been discovered?"
Su Mo was surprised because the tree was more than 200 meters away from the young men and he was careful enough to hold his breath, never thinking that the youths would discover him
Since he had been discovered, Su Mo did not hide. He jumped down and walked towards them.
"Brother, there are three strains of Jadeglow Grass in the mountain forest. We'll hold the wolf pack. Go get the Jadeglow Grass quickly!" shouted the other yellow-clothed disciple after seeing Su Mo.
"Jadeglow Grass?"
He knew that Jadeglow Grass was a kind of Upper Lv 1 Spiritual Herb. If a martial artist with higher Qi Cultivation Realm swallowed it, they could save two months in cultivation practice.
A martial artist with cultivation in a bottleneck could easily break through a cultivation realm after swallowing Jadeglow Grass. Su Mo was just such a martial artist.
"OK, be careful!"
Without any hesitation, Su Mo bypassed the wolf pack and rushed deep into the valley.
Awoo!
Seeing Su Mo rush into the valley, the wolf king howled, ordering the wolf pack to pursue Su Mo.
"You're not going anywhere!"
The two youths shouted and let their Martial Souls out to use the strongest fighting capacity, firmly stalling the wolf pack, and buying some time for Su Mo.
Su Mo rushed into the valley and found the three strains of Jadeglow Grass under a rock wall fairly quickly.
The three strains of Jadeglow Grass were 23 to 26cm high, surrounded by mist and full of Spiritual Qi.
After taking the three strains of Jadeglow Grass, Su Mo cast his skills to fly out of the valley.
"Done. Let's go!"
Reaching the mouth of the valley, Su Mo shouted and rushed out.
In fact, with Su Mo's current strength, he could kill and swallow all the Ironteeth Wolves. However, considering the two young disciples, he did not do that.
Seeing that Su Mo had gotten the Jadeglow Grass, the two youths made efforts to repel the wolf pack and ran after Su Mo quickly.
Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!
The wolf pack was quite angry and quickly chased the three people.
However, after chasing them over five kilometers, the wolf pack stopped.
Demonic beasts had their own domains. Once the wolf pack entered other areas, they would fight with other demonic beasts. Thus, they finally retreated.
