42: Chapter 42 Surrounded, a Deadly Situation

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Xinyuan left the Jingyang Villa residential area.

The sky was already bright, and the entrance to the Undead Mountain Dungeon was already crowded with people.

Tang Mo had also arrived at the dungeon entrance early.

He didn't see Tu Xiaoxia today; he didn't know if she had already entered the dungeon or was resting.

Tang Mo quickly finished his three purgatory difficulty dungeon runs.

Today he planned to continue hunting ferocious beasts.

In just four days, the ferocious beasts in the wilderness of Jiangkou City had completely returned to their former prosperity.

Further north from Undead Mountain lay the territory of higher-level ferocious beasts.

Although Tang Mo could handle them, it would inevitably be more troublesome.

It was not as convenient as hunting in the level 10 to 20 ferocious beast zones.

Now his main goal was to increase his poison damage to lay a solid foundation for the future.

With the experience from last time, this time Tang Mo locked his target onto the territory of level 20 ferocious beasts.

This way, it would not trigger another beast tide, and it would also leave the low-level ferocious beasts for those Professionals who had just left the city.

Perhaps because of the impact of the last beast tide, the trees in the jungle had become much sparser.

They were scattered sparsely everywhere, giving people a desolate feeling.

Of course, if there weren't so many ferocious beasts.

The roars of the ferocious beasts echoed throughout the entire jungle.

Tang Mo's intrusion immediately aroused the ferocity of those beasts, and they rushed towards him one after another.

But under Tang Mo's Highly Toxic Domain and Poison Barrier, they couldn't even get close before dying outright.

【Killed level 23 Earth Web Spider, EXP +902, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1】

【Killed level 21 Green-Armored Giant Lizard, EXP +872, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1】

【Killed level 25 Earth-Shaking Bull, EXP +1012, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1】

...

For others, being alone in the wilderness might be full of danger, but for Tang Mo, it was a very dull affair.

Fortunately, his attributes were constantly increasing, which gave Tang Mo a little encouragement.

Lunch was a dry piece of bread and a bottle of water.

Tang Mo stopped in his tracks and began to enjoy this lunch, which was not very delicious but served as a form of psychological comfort.

Before he could put the bread into his mouth, he vaguely heard the sound of someone calling for help.

The sound seemed to be coming from a very far distance.

Mixed in with the roars of the ferocious beasts, it didn't sound very clear.

Tang Mo stopped his movements and began to focus intently on catching that sound, which had become very faint.

Suddenly, Tang Mo threw away the bread and water in his hands and started running wildly into the distance.

He had heard it; the sound came from his northeast, and it was very familiar.

"Is... is that Tu Xiaoxia?"

At this moment, deep in the jungle, a thin figure had been surrounded by dozens of ferocious beasts.

She was covered in injuries, holding a beast-repelling stick that was about to burn out.

The burning beast-repelling stick could release a scent that low-level ferocious beasts were very afraid of; generally, low-level beasts would flee in panic upon smelling this scent.

But the person in front of them was covered in blood, and the smell of blood had completely aroused their ferocity.

Dozens of ferocious beasts surrounded her, unwilling to leave.

"Help... help me!"

Tu Xiaoxia's eyes were filled with despair.

She regretted it very much now; why had she come out to hunt ferocious beasts?

If she had continued to enter the dungeon, perhaps she wouldn't have encountered danger.

The jungle was a paradise for ferocious beasts, and ordinary Professionals rarely entered it.

Tu Xiaoxia understood that she was already in a dangerous situation, but the desire to survive still made her shout the word "help".

Sizzle~

The flame of the beast-repelling stick burned out completely, and the scent in the air that made low-level ferocious beasts afraid was gradually weakening.

Those ferocious beasts also began to slowly approach Tu Xiaoxia.

Roar!

With a loud beast roar, those ferocious beasts finally overcame their inner fear and lunged at Tu Xiaoxia.

A death trap, with no chance of survival.

Tu Xiaoxia had already closed her eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

Roar~!

Bang~!

The pain of being bitten by the ferocious beasts that she had imagined did not appear; Tu Xiaoxia opened her eyes in a daze, only to find that the ferocious beasts in front of her were already fighting among themselves.

The air was filled with the smell of gas.

"You are really lucky; fortunately, I made it in time."

A familiar voice rang in Tu Xiaoxia's ears; she turned her head abruptly and saw Tang Mo, who had appeared behind her without her knowing when.

"It's him!"

"I must be dreaming!"

"The person who saved me is actually him!!"

Tu Xiaoxia looked at Tang Mo with a dazed expression, tears already wetting her eyes.

"Sigh! Injured like this, you probably can't stand up, right."

Saying this, Tang Mo bent down and picked Tu Xiaoxia up directly.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the city first. You should hurry and get this injury treated, otherwise, it might leave a scar."

You can't form parties in the wilderness, and for fear that his Poison Barrier would hurt Tu Xiaoxia, Tang Mo only released Hallucinogenic Gas along the way to drive away the ferocious beasts.

He could control the gas, and even if he accidentally inhaled it, it wouldn't matter much, as he could neutralize it.

As for the Poison Barrier, if one accidentally inhaled it, it would probably be too late to save them.

"What about the Professional squad that was with you?"

Tang Mo was a bit curious; logically speaking, in such a dangerous place, Tu Xiaoxia should have had people guarding her.

But just now he had only found Tu Xiaoxia alone there, while the members of the Professional squad who had always been with her were nowhere to be seen.

"They... they are all dead, to save me..."

Saying this, Tu Xiaoxia immediately burst into tears.

Tang Mo was stunned for a moment; he had also seen those Professionals yesterday.

They were all over level 30, and their equipment was at least Silver-grade.

To think such an elite squad had been completely wiped out!

Perhaps they had encountered a beast herd and were surrounded.

Tang Mo thought this to himself, and didn't ask about the detailed process, afraid of making Tu Xiaoxia even sadder.

Very quickly, Tang Mo arrived inside the city while carrying Tu Xiaoxia.

Seeing that someone was injured, the city guard soldiers immediately dispatched a vehicle to transport Tu Xiaoxia to the hospital.

At Tu Xiaoxia's request, Tang Mo also rode in the vehicle to go with her.

On the way, Tu Xiaoxia contacted Tu Nie and informed him of what had happened outside the city.

It was audible that Tu Nie on the other end of the phone had completely panicked.

After making the hospital address clear, Tu Xiaoxia hung up the phone.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor performed a full-body examination on Tu Xiaoxia.

A broken arm, plus some external injuries; it should be said that the problem wasn't too serious.

Because she was a combat-type Professional, the examination was extremely efficient.

By the time Tu Nie arrived, the doctor was already cleaning Tu Xiaoxia's wounds and putting a cast on her arm.

Seeing that his daughter was fine, Tu Nie let out a long sigh of relief.

Upon learning that it was Tang Mo who had saved Tu Xiaoxia, Tu Nie hugged him excitedly.

This man, who looked sturdy and strong, almost shed tears in front of Tang Mo.

Seeing that Tu Xiaoxia had no problems, Tang Mo bid farewell and left.
