Chapter 144: Abyss Secret Realm

Late at night.

Lin Mo set off from the Black Market carrying two Ground Attribute fruits and two Rock Attribute fruits.

This time the Black Market didn't have anything good; they were all items Lin Mo wasn't interested in.

But in the end he managed to get four fruits, which met Lin Mo's expectations.

Having these four fruits.

It should be enough to raise You Jila's strength to the Common level.

It can also save some cultivation time.

"It's just a pity the Evil Gem is really too rare!"

Lin Mo sighed and shook his head: "And the price is also very high; to obtain an Evil Gem, you need some luck!"

When he returned to the villa, Lin Mo found Xu Qiqi already packing luggage.

"That little girl!"

Lin Mo shook his head; he had to admit that Xu Qiqi was indeed overly diligent.

It made Lin Mo unable to help feeling sorry for her.

Lin Mo pushed the door open, took out the four fruits, and said, "You watch over You Jila and have him take them!"

"Alright!"

Xu Qiqi nodded, mouth slightly open, and whispered, "It's best to wait until You Jila's strength breaks through to the Novice level before taking them; taking them too early prevents absorption of the fruit's energy!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Lin Mo nodded and said nothing more.

After all, in breeding Little Spirits, he could never match Xu Qiqi.

Since that's the case, he'll leave it entirely to her.

"Wait until we get the acceptance letter before leaving!"

Lin Mo gently patted Xu Qiqi's sleek hair and laughed, "Why prepare so early?"

"I have to wash and dry the clothes in advance so they won't smell!"

Xu Qiqi slowly stepped forward and lightly thumped Lin Mo's cheek.

Her shy face was especially charming.

"You little girl1"

Lin Mo's mouth curved slightly, and he promptly wrapped his arms around Xu Qiqi's slender waist, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

"I'm hungry; let's go have a midnight snack!"

Lin Mo leaned close to Xu Qiqi's ear and whispered.

Hearing Lin Mo, Xu Qiqi's cheeks flushed red as she vigorously nodded, "Mm-hmm!"

The two entered the house, and another cycle of day‑night reversal began.

……

In the days that followed, Lin Mo trained with several Little Spirits during the day.

At night he exercised together with Xu Qiqi.

The daily routine was simple yet very fulfilling.

But that Da Ke Lai Yin became Lin Mo's lingering worry.

It still lacked two Evil Gems before it could hatch.

Lin Mo shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

It seemed he would have to figure something out himself.

Such prized attribute gems hardly ever appear on the market.

Therefore the most reliable method was for Lin Mo to go into the Secret Realm himself and harvest attribute gems.

"The Evil Gem is most likely to be found in that Secret Realm!"

Lin Mo's eyes flickered as he murmured, "I'll go there today on the spur of the moment."

With that thought, Lin Mo turned and walked to the middle of the courtyard.

"Gill Fish Dragon, Flaming Arrow Eagle, Fossil Pterosaur!"

With each of Lin Mo's calls, these Little Spirits arrived at the doorway.

A flick of his wrist, and the Spirit Balls were already in his hand.

Red beams flashed one after another.

These Little Spirits were then captured into the Spirit Balls.

"I'm stepping out for a while; I don't know when I'll be back!"

Before leaving, Lin Mo still gave Xu Qiqi a quick reminder.

So she wouldn't worry about him not returning.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xu Qiqi nodded firmly, "Take care and have a smooth journey!"

After parting with Xu Qiqi, Lin Mo flagged down a taxi and asked, "Abyss Secret Realm!"

The driver raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"That place is the most dangerous Secret Realm in Jinling City; you're just a kid about to take the college entrance exam!"

"Are you sure you want to go there?"

Hearing the driver's advice, Lin Mo's gaze remained firm, and without any hesitation he said, "Don't worry, I won't have any trouble!"

Seeing Lin Mo speak like that.

The Timing Master naturally wouldn't drop the money he was holding.

He slammed the accelerator, and the sedan beneath him turned into a fleeting phantom, racing out of the city.

The Abyss Secret Realm is the dwelling place of Jinling City's evil‑aligned Little Spirits.

The evil‑aligned Little Spirits are extremely numerous here, making it a perfect hunting ground for evil‑aligned trainers.

He gazed at the Secret Realm light sphere before him, shimmering with a black phantom.

Lin Mo handed over a bank card and said, "Swipe!"

That deft action made the spirit guard at the entrance widen his eyes.

A hint of disbelief flashed in his gaze.

After all, Lin Mo's age contrasted sharply with his skillful behavior.

After swiping the card, Lin Mo hesitated not at all and leapt straight onto the white light sphere.

As a familiar dizzy sensation washed over him, Lin Mo opened his eyes again.

He found himself already on a pitch‑black mountain rock.

The surrounding air was extremely murky, pressing down so heavily that one could barely breathe.

"Something's odd!"

Lin Mo touched his chin, and his wrist twitched.

An orange‑red phantom appeared before him.

The Flame Arrow Eagle beat its wings, stirring up gusts of wind.

Scorching heat continuously poured from the Flame Arrow Eagle's wings.

Its sharp eyes gazed toward the distant mountains.

"Dingdong! Little Spirit Black Lurga spotted 500 meters ahead!"

【Black Lurga (Evil/Fire)】

【Level: LV31 (Elite Level)】

【Trait: Ignition】

【Skills: Howl, Roar, Bite Hold, Siege, Flame Fang, Retaliation】

【Potential: Elite Level】

Hearing the System Prompt Sound in his ear, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

The early Elite Level Black Lurga, Lin Mo was too lazy to subdue, so he headed in the opposite direction.

Standing on the black rock, Lin Mo felt a bit bewildered.

After all, having just arrived in an unfamiliar Secret Realm, he naturally needed to think things over.

"Rest!"

Accompanied by a whooshing sound, a pale brown phantom flashed across the sky.

"Dingdong! Little Spirit Bi Diao spotted 100 meters above!"

【Bi Diao (Neutral/Flying)】

【Level: LV38 (Elite Phase)】

【Trait: Sharp Gaze】

【Skills: Impact, Flash of Electric Light, Sand Brush, Wind Rise, Tornado, Feather Dance, High‑Speed Movement】

【Potential: Elite Level】

"Peak Elite Bi Diao!"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and whispered, "There's someone above!"

Thinking that, Lin Mo couldn't help but glance at the Flame Arrow Eagle.

The Flame Arrow Eagle understood, flapped its wings swiftly, and came to Lin Mo's side.

Streams of scorching flame continuously burned around him, crackling with a sizzling sound.

"Let's follow and take a look!"

Before finishing his sentence, Lin Mo was unabashed, climbing straight onto the Flame Arrow Eagle's back.

Fortunately, this is a Quasi King Level Flame Arrow Eagle, and it has been well‑trained lately.

It can easily lift Lin Mo onto its back.

If it were an Elite Level Flame Arrow Eagle, it might not be able to carry him.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered as he stared at the distant silhouette of Bi Diao.

He uttered "Rest".

The Flame Arrow Eagle, like a missile, sped forward.

The Quasi King Level Flame Arrow Eagle's speed was crushing, and it quickly caught up.

"Dingdong! Little Spirit Dark Crow spotted 300 meters ahead!"

【Dark Crow (Evil/Flying)】

【Level: LV37 (Elite Level)】

【Trait: Super Lucky】

【Skills: Peck, Wind Rise, Black Mist, Wing Attack, Nightshade Shadow, Taunt, Air Blade】

【Potential: Elite Level】

"So this is the hunt for the Dark Crow!"

As an evil‑aligned flying Dark Crow, its strength is not comparable to those Bi Diao big‑beaked sparrows.

If a Dark Crow possessing evil techniques evolves with a Dark Stone, …

Strength will also be greatly increased.

Even compared to the Three Great Houses, there is a considerable advantage.

"It's just a pity it's useless for me!"

Lin Mo slightly shook their head and let out a sigh.

Was about to turn and leave.

A pitch-black abyss attracted Lin Mo's attention.

Why is this Abyss Secret Realm called the Abyss?

It's because in the center of the secret realm there is a huge pit.

The pit is bottomless; according to rumor, any little spirit that goes down...

never comes out alive and unharmed.

Naturally, this also includes Lin Mo.

"Interesting!"

Gazing at the pit ahead, Lin Mo patted the Fierce Arrow Eagle beneath them.

It immediately understood, flapped its wings hard, and did not continue forward.

"Dingdong! An Evil Gem detected 500 meters below!"

"Evil Gem: When used by an evil-type little spirit, it can increase aptitude and strength!"

"Aptitude can be increased up to Champion Level!"

Hearing the system prompt sound, Lin Mo Tong's pupils contracted slightly, a flash of disbelief crossing their eyes.

But I never expected to see an Evil Gem so soon.

Truly simple and swift.

But just thinking about the bottomless, extremely dangerous depths below...

Lin Mo couldn't help but frown.

Couldn't help but say: "Since it's so dangerous down there, we still need to catch a wild little spirit and send it down

1

Moreover, this little spirit had best not be evil-type.

After all, since there is danger, it's naturally best to let a wild little spirit go down.

Moreover, since it's an evil-type gem, if the one going down is an evil-type little spirit, they will inevitably actively devour the evil-type gem.

This is Lin Mo's consideration.

Moreover, since it's a five-hundred-meter abyss.

It had best also be a flying-type little spirit.

That way, it would be a bit safer.

After staring intently at the pit ahead, Lin Mo had no hesitation.

They directly turned and walked toward the nearby mountain peak.

The mountain peak is extremely steep, and atop it lies a layer of thick black mountain mist.

It appears quite eerie.

Even taking a single breath would pose great danger to the body.

"Strange, strange!"

A chill flashed in Lin Mo's eyes as they softly said, "We need to find a suitable little spirit."

"Flying-type, non-evil-type, and preferably with Quasi King strength!"

If danger is encountered below, only a little spirit of Quasi King level would have a chance to protect itself.

Thinking this, Lin Mo directly brought the Fierce Arrow Eagle and headed toward the nearby mountain peak.

The mountain peak is extremely steep, and a strong fishy stench rushes forth.

"What is this?"

Lin Mo Tong's pupils narrowed slightly as they muttered, "How how strange?"

Soon, Lin Mo arrived before a stream.

Several white Long-winged Gulls and Big-beaked Gulls hovered upon a large boulder.

"Dingdong! A Little Spirit Long-winged Gull detected 50 meters ahead!"

【Big-beaked Gull (Water/Flying)】

【Level: LV44 (Quasi King)】

【Trait: Keen Eyesight】

【Skills: Air Slash, Water Ripple, Wing Attack, Charge, Swallow, Water Gun, Water Cannon】

【Potential: Quasi King Level】

Hearing the system prompt sound, a flash of joy crossed Lin Mo's eyes.

It truly came at just the right moment; just as they lacked a flying-type little spirit, the Big-beaked Gull actually appeared before them.

However, what lies before them is a flock.

Besides the Big-beaked Gull, there are dozens of Long-winged Gulls.

However, compared to the Big-beaked Gull, the Long-winged Gulls are much weaker.

At most they are Elite Level, with none at Quasi King Level.

"Fierce Arrow Eagle!"

Dealing with some Elite Level Quasi King Level little spirits, naturally we wouldn't go all out; leaving it to the Fierce Arrow Eagle should be steady.

Halt!

With a sound that split the air, the Flame Arrow Eagle turned into a fleeting shadow and vanished from the spot in an instant.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived among the Big-beaked Gulls.

Puff!

The Flame Arrow Eagle opened its beak slightly, and a torrent of flame spurted out from its mouth in an instant.

The flames roared wildly, covering the sky and blocking the sun, as if they would extinguish every Water-type Small Spirit.

Seeing this scene, the dozens of Long-winged Gulls reacted swiftly.

They immediately opened their beaks.

A rushing stream of water continuously surged from the Long-winged Gulls' mouths.

In an instant, the clash of water and flame instantly agitated the surroundings.

Thick plumes of water mist instantly swirled around the point where the two Little Spirits met.

"Sizzle!" With a sound, the rushing water mist instantly enveloped the entire space!

After a few minutes, a familiar figure flashed through the scene.

Lin Mo stared closely; wasn't that the Big-beaked Gull?

Now it actually tries to flee—truly fantastical.

"Want to run? Did you ask me?"

Lin Mo chuckled lightly, "Flame Arrow Eagle, deal with the water mist for me!"

The thick water mist is evidently about to end.

At that moment, a Big-beaked Gull turned into a fleeting shadow and flew toward the distant side.

"Now that's a clever, cunning spirit!"

It actually knows it's no match for the Flame Arrow Eagle and fled outright.

It wouldn't trap itself in danger at all.

"If it were anyone else, they'd really think you ran away!"

Lin Mo sneered aloud, his gaze turning to the jet‑black Cat Boss beside him!

Seeing Lin Mo's stare, the Cat Boss instantly understood.

The ruby‑red gem at its brow shone a dazzling golden light at that moment.

One Hundred Thousand Volts slithered like an electric snake.

It swiftly struck the Big-beaked Gull.

Lightning surged into its body.

The Big-beaked Gull instantly lost its combat ability, swaying continuously without any struggle.

Lin Mo's mouth curled slightly; with a flick of his wrist, a Spirit Ball settled firmly on the Big-beaked Gull.

"Give me the Big-beaked Gull!"

At that moment, a shout rang out from afar.

Lin Mo looked far away; a girl was leaping down from the back of a Big-beaked Gull.

Her gaze fixed on the Spirit Ball in Lin Mo's hand, filled with longing.

"Sorry!"

Lin Mo's mouth curled, smiling, "I'll take this; I won't give it to anyone else!"

Hearing this, the girl's expression shifted slightly, she stared deeply at Lin Mo: "Since that's the case, let's have a duel; if you win, then you win!"

"The Big-beaked Gull is also yours."
