Chapter 341: Lin Mo the Boss Is Clearing Monsters?

【“Right!”】

『Earth Diving Technique』 lifted its head, looking extremely proud.

【“Little Wind, you must understand, our master always faces high-level battles!”】

【“His opponents are always groups!”】

【“If you one-shot one, what do you do about the rest? Just watch them hurt our master?”】

『Wind Blade Technique』 immediately shook its head.

【“That’s unacceptable!”】

【“I follow Second Brother’s will—Little Wind absolutely won’t let the master get hit!”】

『Earth Diving Technique』 nodded in satisfaction.

【“That’s the spirit!”】

【“Single-target damage has no future!”】

【“That’s the kind of thing only pure fighters like Big Brother and Third Brother train.”】

【“What are we?”】

【“We are the master’s personal guard!”】

【“We need 360-degree, no-dead-angle protection!”】

『Earth Diving Technique』’s voice rose sharply.

【“Little Five, think carefully!”】

【“Who says wind blades can only be one? We’re noble elemental spirits—how can the omnipresent wind element condense into just one blade?”】

【“That’s an insult to us!”】

『Wind Blade Technique』 nodded frantically.

【“Second Brother’s right! We’re noble elemental spirits!”】

『Earth Diving Technique』 grew more excited as it spoke.

【“Yes, exactly! We must pursue a colossal wind blade storm, enveloping the master in all 360 degrees!”】

【“Want to attack? Expand the storm—360-degree, no-dead-angle strikes, shred every enemy to pieces!”】

【“Want to defend? Shrink the storm—any enemy daring to approach the master gets torn apart!”】

【“This is the ultimate art of protecting the master!”】

Listening to Second Brother’s words.

『Wind Blade Technique』 was utterly stunned.

【“Wow…”】

【“Second Brother is so smart!”】

【“Only this way can the master be safest! Ready to attack, ready to defend! Second Brother, you’re my god!”】

Hearing his little brother’s adoration.

『Earth Shield Technique』 forcibly suppressed its wild joy.

It deliberately coughed twice.

Put on an air of profound mystery, waving its hand dismissively.

【“Ah, keep it low-key, keep it low-key.”】

【“What god? Don’t talk nonsense.”】

【“These are just my hard-earned insights—gained through careful observation, deep thinking, and years of battlefield experience with the master.”】

【“You need to learn more, watch more.”】

『Earth Shield Technique』 encouraged earnestly:

【“Alright, follow this idea—go and sense your own storm!”】

『Wind Blade Technique』 glowed all over, brimming with boundless energy.

【“Yes, Second Brother!”】

Watching Little Wind’s fierce determination.

『Earth Shield Technique』 nodded contentedly, swaying its body.

It scanned the surroundings, identifying direction.

【“Come on, Big White, your Big Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Sister have abandoned you—stick with us two brothers, and let’s make a big splash in the south!”】

Big White shook its fur, revealing an excited expression.

Then.

Two techniques and a fox sprinted toward the south.

……

Time passed second by second.

Outside Zhuxing Town.

A leveling zone.

“Pant… pant…”

Li Qiang gasped for breath.

“Old Zhao, you damn bastard… slow down!”

“I’m about to throw up from grilling leeks!”

Zhao Meng, walking ahead, was full of energy, eyes bloodshot.

“Slow down? Pfft!”

Zhao Meng roared without turning back.

“Lin Mo’s probably not resting tonight—he’s out in the wild leveling and clearing monsters too. We can’t fall behind!”

“Damn it!”

“Tonight, I’m killing at least a thousand monsters!”

“Not going back until I’m done!”

Watching Zhao Meng’s frenzied state.

Li Qiang sighed helplessly.

Forced himself to push through his exhaustion and keep up.

Though both men felt something was odd.

They didn’t know why, after walking so long, they hadn’t encountered a single monster.

But they didn’t think much of it.

……

Another half-hour passed.

The two stepped into another leveling zone.

This place was called 【Withered Wood Wasteland】.

A dense monster zone around levels 50–60, usually swarming with Withered Wood Poison Men.

But now.

Everything was silent.

Only the howling wind swept across the wasteland.

Not a single monster’s roar—no trace of the usual foul stench in the air.

Zhao Meng stopped, bewildered.

He scratched his head.

“Old Li…”

“This doesn’t make sense?”

Zhao Meng looked around.

“Why haven’t we seen a single monster?”

“Is our luck that bad, or did all the wild monsters take a collective nap today?”

“This is unreasonable!”

Li Qiang also frowned.

He stared at the empty wasteland.

“It really is unreasonable.”

“Normally, monsters here are packed thick—impossible to not run into any.”

Zhao Meng frowned at Li Qiang.

“Old Li, could we have gotten lost?”

“Is this even a leveling zone at all?”

Hearing this,

Li Qiang paused.

“Probably not…”

Then,

He quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

Using the dim glow of the screen.

Li Qiang carefully cross-referenced the online leveling zone photos and glanced around.

“It’s correct…”

His tone was full of doubt.

“Look.”

“The terrain matches, and the coordinates match too.”

“This is definitely the Withered Wood Wasteland.”

“According to the data, monster density here is extremely high.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meng grew even more confused.

“That’s strange.”

“If this is a leveling zone, why isn’t there a single soul around?”

“Could it have been cleared out in advance? Who has the power to wipe an entire large leveling zone clean?”

Just as the two were utterly baffled,

BOOM—!

Far off on the horizon,

a blinding red light erupted like a volcanic eruption.

Immediately after,

a cold, icy blue glow flared up to the north.

To the east,

lightning flashed wildly, illuminating half the night sky.

Zhao Meng’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“Old Li, we’ve been seeing these skill effects all along the road.”

“It’s been over half an hour, and they haven’t stopped yet!”

“What’s going on here?”

Zhao Meng speculated:

“Could this be two large guilds fighting out in the wild?”

Li Qiang stared at the distant skill effects and shook his head firmly.

“Bullshit.”

“Didn’t you notice?”

Li Qiang pointed to the red light in the west.

“We’ve been moving toward that light effect the whole way.”

“But we couldn’t catch up at all!”

“That light effect just kept pushing forward steadily!”

“Pushing forward?”

Zhao Meng murmured.

Li Qiang nodded and analyzed:

“Guild battles can’t move this fast.”

“This is definitely someone clearing monsters.”

At this point,

Zhao Meng froze.

“With this kind of commotion—who the hell is clearing monsters?”

At that moment,

the two exchanged glances.

A single name flashed simultaneously in their minds.

“Lin Mo…”

Zhao Meng whispered.

“I heard Lin Mo is a Five-Element Law King…”

“This fire, ice, and lightning…”

“Could it really be Lin Mo clearing monsters?”

Li Qiang took a deep breath.

“Absolutely!”

“Old Zhao, remember that giant fox we saw flash by earlier?”

“I heard Lin Mo has a pact beast—a fox-shaped pact beast.”

“What’s it called…”

“Wuxiang Tai Xu Beast!”

“It can perfectly channel his elemental skills and even fight in his place!”

“Even Yan Lie, chairman of the Mage’s Blue Association, couldn’t beat his pet!”

When Li Qiang finished speaking,

Zhao Meng involuntarily sucked in a breath.

“Sss…”

“So it’s almost certain that Lin Mo is clearing monsters?”

Zhao Meng looked at his weapon, then at the distant, world-shattering light effects.

A deep sense of helplessness welled up inside him.

“Damn it…”

“There’s activity to the west, north, and east, right?”

“Fine!”

Zhao Meng turned around and faced south.

“Let’s go!”

“Head south!”
