"Sister, sit at the bow of the ship. Big brother will walk on the shore. My love for you is endless …" Walking leisurely in the Heavenly Desolate Forest, Mo Li chewed on a blade of grass and hummed a melody that many people in his previous life were familiar with.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed. After three months, Mo Li had finally regained some of his strength. He could be considered to have gained some confidence as he traversed through the outskirts of Tian Luo Forest.

"Little Snow Ball, why don't you grow fat if you can eat that much?" Mo Li helplessly said when he saw Little Snow Ball, who was gnawing on a wild fruit, on his shoulder.

In these three months, Mo Li gained another benefit: Little Snowball finally woke up from his deep slumber. Although Little Snow Ball didn't have much combat strength, it at least made Mo Li no longer depressed and lonely.

"Ji ji ji ~" Little Snow Ball glanced at Mo Li with a bit of contempt in its big eyes. It shrieked a few times before lying back down on Mo Li's shoulder to gnaw on a wild fruit.

Mo Li pulled the snowball from his shoulder and cupped it in his palm. He said sinisterly, "When I have time, I'll do an experiment. I'll find a cow to slaughter and stuff it into your stomach and see how much you can eat. Hehehe …"

"Ji ji ji!" Little Snow Ball's large eyes were filled with anger. It didn't know where Wild Fruit had thrown the ball, but at this moment, his meaty legs were continuously gesturing to express his displeasure. At the same time, a hint of fear subconsciously appeared in his eyes.

After so many years of interaction, he knew that the guy in front of him was definitely not just for show. He might really be able to cause this bastard to do something on that day!

"Roar!" Just as Mo Li was about to tease Little Snow Ball, a loud roar came from the front.

"Hmm? Yet another magical beast? " Mo Li was stunned. "It sounds pretty good. Go take a look!"

Over the past few days, Mo Li had encountered a few magic beasts blocking the way, but the magic beasts that appeared were pitifully weak. Mo Li understood. After all, this was only the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Desolate Forest. The magical beasts that generally lived here were only of the first or second rank.

From the sound just now, this magical beast clearly possessed the strength of a Class 3 Magical Beast. In any case, it didn't conflict with the direction he had chosen, so he decided to take a look along the way.

Mo Li kept dashing towards the direction of the figure. He left afterimages in the forest, but the weird thing was, there was no sound coming from his feet!

"Everyone be careful, this thing is very difficult to deal with!" Mo Li had just climbed up a big tree, but before he could turn his head to observe the battlefield, he heard a familiar voice.

What a coincidence!

Mo Li sat on a branch of a large tree and looked at the open space not too far away. The people in his line of sight were the people from the Flying Swallow Mercenary Group that had split up three months ago.

Aside from Fishy, who was hiding at the side, the other four members of the Flying Swallow Mercenary Group surrounded a black panther with two glinting eyes.

Gale Leopard, a magical beast of the third step!

Mo Li couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Wasn't Uncle Yan and the rest a little too unlucky? Every time he encountered an opponent that was difficult to deal with.

Gale Leopard, early stage three, claws and teeth sharp, body as hard as steel, speed as fast as the wind, immense strength! Amongst magical beasts at the beginning of the third step, the Whirlwind Panther was one of the hardest to deal with! Compared to the Four-Eyed Green Python that he met by the lake earlier, the Gale Leopard's strength was even stronger. Its speed in particular was a headache for many spirit realm practitioners.

"Roar!" Facing the four people surrounding him, the Gale Leopard raised its head and roared. Its black body suddenly disappeared and in the next moment, it was already in front of Yan Qi.

"Be careful!" Uncle Yan exclaimed and rushed towards the Gale Leopard, the blade in his hand slashing straight out!

"Bam!"

Among the four, Yan Qi's strength was the lowest, being only at the peak of the Martial Realm. Although he had been on guard the entire time and had dodged to the side when Uncle Yan opened his mouth, he was still half a beat too slow when facing the Gale Leopard's accumulated attack.

Yan Qi's sharp front paw solidly slapped onto his right shoulder. The latter couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest, and his thick body was heavily blown backwards, a mouthful of blood spraying out from his mouth.

Fishy's face turned pale as she immediately ran over to check on Yan Qi's injuries.

"Shua!" Uncle Yan's attempt to encircle Wei and save Zhao failed in the end. The Swift Wind Leopard's speed was beyond their imagination. Just as it injured Yan Qi, it dodged Uncle Yan's broadsword and arrived in front of Meng Zimo in the next second.

"Bam!"

Although he was slightly stronger than Yan Qi, Meng Zimo was still not enough compared to the Wind Leopard. Similarly, he was unable to dodge in time and followed in Yan Qi's footsteps.

"Pah!"

"Bang bang!"

The four of them had injured two people in a single exchange, leaving only Uncle Yan alone with Feng Ling, who wielded a whip in his hand, attacking from a distance. However, the battle was one-sided.

In just ten or so moves, Uncle Yan had already been injured three times by the Wind Leopard. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to defend himself for long. Once he fell, there would be no suspense.

"Fate ah fate …" Seeing that Uncle Yan and Fengling could be taken care of by the Wind Leopard at any time, Mo Li surveyed his surroundings and broke a few pine nuts from a branch at the side.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The battle had already reached its climax. Uncle Yan was still unable to deliver a fatal blow to the Swift Wind Leopard due to its speed. It was already considered a battle between a peak Xuan Level warrior and an early Class 3 Magical Beast, not to mention that the opponent was a famous Wind Leopard.

"Pfft!"

As his energy consumption increased, Uncle Yan was accidentally sent flying by the Storm Leopard's thick front paw.

"Roar!" The eyes of the Gale Leopard on its huge head flashed with a bloodthirsty light. It glanced at the large tree, which seemed to be in pain from trying to get up, and turned its body to face its final opponent.

Fengling didn't want to escape. Firstly, she wouldn't abandon her comrades. In her heart, she understood that there was no point in running when facing a Whirlwind Leopard that relied on speed to grow.

"Pah!" She swung her long whip, and at some point, her fiery red leather clothes had been covered in mud. However, her eyes were extremely clear, with a hint of indifference to life and death.

The red whip swept past the Wind Leopard's ears. Just as Feng Ling was about to pull the whip back, her body staggered. The Wind Leopard's front paw had unknowingly landed on the whip.

"Roar!" A bellow resounded through the dense forest. The Wind Leopard's hind legs slightly bent as its body explosively shot out. The sharp teeth in its wide, bloody mouth flashed with a breathtaking cold.

"Fengling!"

"Big Sister Fengling!"

When Fengling heard her companion's shout, the Storm Leopard's figure appeared in front of her in the next second.

There was no way to dodge it!

Feng Ling closed her eyes in despair.

"Boom —"

There was no pain like he expected. Instead, he heard a loud sound.

Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at the Gale Leopard that was about ten meters away in a panic. A perplexed look appeared in Feng Ling's eyes.

The sudden change left Uncle Yan and the rest stunned.
