20: Chapter 20 The Beauty of Numbers!

Mo Jiao was excited; now, he just needed to get them to bring more people.

"Don't be in such a rush, brothers. That Red Fox is incredibly powerful; he severely injured me with just a single blow."

"I think it would be safer to call a few more brothers."

Qingfeng Wolf calmed down upon hearing this: "You said that Red Fox severely injured you in one blow?"

"Then what is his strength like?"

Mo Jiao hesitated. If he admitted that a newcomer to the Third Rank had severely injured him—a veteran Senior who had been at the Peak of the Third Rank for years—wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

"That fox is at the Peak of the Third Rank, just a hair's breadth away from advancing to the Fourth Rank. His strength is formidable."

"I see. In that case, we definitely need to call more brothers."

"Wait here for a moment. The banquet just ended, so those brothers shouldn't have gone far."

After speaking, Qingfeng Wolf called upon Earth-Shaking Ape and they sped off in one direction.

Watching their receding figures, a cold, sinister smile flashed in Mo Jiao's eyes as he rested on a nearby bluestone.

"Once they gather the others and return..." He flicked his tongue and looked towards the lake, "that will be your death day..."

About half an hour later, noisy footsteps echoed through the forest.

Mo Jiao looked up and saw Qingfeng Wolf and Earth-Shaking Ape leading seven powerful Third Rank Yao Beasts, marching over in a grand procession.

Rabbit Demon, Chicken Demon, Leopard Demon, Ox Demon...

Seeing Mo Jiao from afar, they began to greet him.

"We heard Brother Mo Jiao was in trouble, so we came to lend a hand."

"Oh~ I just happen to want to test out the ultimate move I've been practicing for two and a half years."

"Don't worry, Brother Mo Jiao. With a single Waist Bow, I can smash that fox into eight pieces."

Qingfeng Wolf stepped forward and said heroically: "With us included, more than half of the fourteen main forces under Demon King Huoxin have arrived."

"We will definitely make sure that fox never returns!"

Hearing the comfort from so many brothers, Mo Jiao felt quite moved, and a tear slid from the corner of his eye.

"Thank you all for your help. I cannot repay such great kindness, but if you have any needs in the future, feel free to come to me..."

Before he could finish, all the Yao Beasts rushed up, hoisted Mo Jiao onto their shoulders, and marched toward the lake.

"Gulp, gulp..."

He was now completely submerged in the water, with only his head exposed, mouth open wide, continuously summoning white porridge into the air above his mouth.

After a long while, Su Mo finally swallowed the last of the white porridge and sighed.

"Still doesn't fill me up. I'll have to go find something with high energy to eat later..."

He lay motionless in the water to minimize energy consumption. The white porridge barely balanced out his expenditure, but waves of hunger still stimulated his brain from time to time.

"The Savage Growth talent didn't say it had this side effect?!"

"If things continue like this, I'll end up eating the entire Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range empty!"

Just as he was worrying about his future food sources, his ears flicked slightly, and he suddenly heard many noisy footsteps approaching from not far away.

Su Mo stood up from the water, narrowing his eyes slightly. His gaze pierced through the dense tree trunks, seeing several Yao Beasts of various forms walking toward the lake.

"Spicy rabbit head, crispy chicken, braised beef..."

"Hiss~ Even game meat!"

Su Mo's tail began to slap the water surface involuntarily, and he sucked back the saliva that was overflowing from his mouth.

He fished Hearts Eye and Su Su, who were still splashing in the water, onto the bank and told them to hide further away. Then, he adjusted his expression, stepped out of the water gracefully, and shook the water droplets from his body.

He prepared to face the upcoming feast in his most perfect posture.

When the group of Yao Beasts, surrounding Mo Jiao, arrived a few miles from the lake, they saw Su Mo's towering figure.

"Mo Jiao, is that the fox you said forcibly occupied your lake?"

Qingfeng Wolf narrowed his eyes and asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Although I don't know what kind of exotic treasure he ate to make his body so large, his Aura isn't as terrifying as you described!"

Qingfeng Wolf's talent ability was to manipulate wind. He could use wind to accelerate himself, spit out wind blades, or perceive his surroundings. At this moment, he felt that Su Mo's strength was only just entering the Third Rank, not reaching the Peak of the Third Rank.

Mo Jiao was stunned by this and stammered a pretense: "Perhaps... perhaps that fox used some talent ability to hide his strength."

Earth-Shaking Ape said in a muffled voice: "I see. The fox clan is indeed cunning..."

Before he could finish, he stumbled forward, having been hit hard on the back of his head.

"What are you saying! Demon King Huoxin is also of the fox clan!"

Earth-Shaking Ape immediately waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, I meant except for Demon King Huoxin..."

The other Yao Beasts all knew what kind of personality he had, so they ignored him and walked toward the lake on their own.

Not long after, Su Mo's full form came into view. His thirty-plus-meter-tall body made all the Yao Beasts stop in their tracks involuntarily.

They had never seen a Yao Beast of such massive size. Even the Ox Demon, the largest among them, was only over ten meters tall, barely able to reach the root of Su Mo's thigh.

"Being so large, he must be all show and no substance. Let me test his mettle first."

The Chicken Demon took a step forward, flapping his wings as he charged toward Su Mo. A few golden feathers on his body shimmered in the sunlight.

"Brother Chicken possesses the Bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, plus the Kun-style kicks he's been practicing for two and a half years. I reckon he can severely injure that fox in one blow!"

As soon as the Rabbit Demon finished speaking, the Chicken Demon had already flown in front of Su Mo, his golden claws gleaming with a cold light, aiming straight for Su Mo's face.

"A flying chicken?!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up. The chicken wings flapped continuously, wafting over the aroma unique to chicken, which seemed to activate a hidden switch within him, causing his saliva to secrete continuously.

The hunger and the temptation of the Chicken Demon made him unable to hold back any longer.

Su Mo moved with speed faster than the Chicken Demon, biting down on most of his body in one go.

The Chicken Demon only had time to let out a shrill cry, leaving only two chicken legs struggling helplessly in mid-air.

The Yao Beasts were instantly petrified on the spot.

"Brother Chicken! No!"

The Rabbit Demon let out a mournful cry, his pink eyes instantly welling up with tears, and then he charged forward as well.

Seeing this, Qingfeng Wolf immediately roared: "Brothers, let's attack together!"

The Yao Beasts swarmed up, leaving only Mo Jiao behind.

The Ox Demon lowered his head to reveal sharp horns, Earth-Shaking Ape swung his millstone-sized fists, and Qingfeng Wolf had already spat out several sharp wind blades attacking toward the corners of Su Mo's mouth...

The Rabbit Demon, eyes red, unleashed his signature ultimate move, the 'Waist Bow', his soft body winding toward Su Mo's neck, intending to smash Su Mo to the ground with the force of 'deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces'.

Several powerful attacks struck toward various parts of Su Mo's body, but he dodged them one by one without panic, narrowing his eyes in intoxication, enjoying the chewing of the chicken meat in his mouth.

For some reason, the taste of this chicken was spicy, which was quite intoxicating to him, having not tasted other flavors for so long, making him reluctant to swallow it.

The Yao Beasts, having attacked for a long time, stopped to catch their breath, looking at Su Mo in shock.

"Why... why is his body so large, yet his speed is so fast!"

No matter what method they used, all their attacks didn't even touch a single hair of Su Mo.

Su Mo swallowed the last of the chicken meat unhurriedly and licked his lips, still wanting more.

"As expected, one must eat something nutritious. Once eaten, the strength comes surging up!"

"However, one is not enough..."

His gaze swept over the eight Yao Beasts present, and he stretched his body slightly.

"Now!"

"Let me show you what the aesthetics of numerical values are!"
