At this moment, Sai Gao felt like ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind.
This was utterly preposterous. I treated you like a brother, and you wanted to get intimate with me?
He quickly distanced himself from Mian Abe, thinking that once this job was done, he would completely part ways with Mian Abe.
Mian Abe was skilled in using poisons, and could concoct strange toxins like "Yin Yang Powder" and "I Love a Firewood."
What if, one day, he secretly drugged himself and ruined him?
Mian Abe was not foolish and naturally sensed Sai Gao's rejection. He quickly put on a smile to cover it up and joked, "What's wrong, can't take a joke?"
Although he was smiling, the disappointment and sadness in his eyes were evident to everyone.
Sai Gao gave a perfunctory smile and spoke insincerely, determined to go solo from now on.
The "Heart-Digging, Waist-Ripping" duo, who had always cooperated closely, thus developed a rift.
The eerie dark figure saw this scene and wished it could chop off its own hands immediately.
Touching Sai Gao's waist and pinching Mian Abe's thigh were its doing. It was originally intended to check if these two were suitable for soul possession.
But it never expected to inadvertently reveal this scene, which was simply too revolting to behold.
Originally, Mian Abe's physical condition was excellent and very suitable for soul possession. Now, it couldn't bring itself to do it, fearing it would be disgusted.
"That kid's body must be very strong. No need to verify. I'll possess him."
The eerie dark figure finally set its target on Ji Mo.
As long as the restriction was broken, its origin would regain freedom. Although it had become extremely weak after a long time, it would be easy to deal with these ants on the field.
At that time, it would possess Ji Mo, devour everyone, escape, and dominate a region. Within a few years, the entire Immortal Spirit Realm would bow at its feet.
On the field, many people thought they were the mantis stalking the cicada, but no one knew that a real venomous snake was already eyeing them covetously.
Yao Zhong was holding a specially made immortal shovel, constantly tapping and digging. It was clear he had found a way to break the restriction.
"Oh, you're digging in the wrong place. You need to move half a foot to the right. Also, you can't tap that spot; something might go wrong."
Ji Mo watched for a while and couldn't stand Yao Zhong's clumsy work and the waste of time. He kindly offered some advice.
If it were based on Yao Zhong's speed, it would take at least three to four days to break the restriction here. He didn't want to wait.
"Who are you? Stop babbling here and bothering me."
Yao Zhong glanced at Ji Mo and, seeing a young man, his face immediately darkened.
Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, this person dared to boss him around. How laughable.
Ji Mo said, "Your method is too slow. Listen to me, and I guarantee it will be done quickly."
Yao Zhong laughed, stopped his work, and sneered, "Kid, do you understand formations? Do you know what kind of restriction this is? Even I would need four days to break through it. Other Grandmasters of formations would need at least ten days to half a month. You tell me it can be done quickly? At least have a draft when you brag. If you don't understand, get out of the way and don't embarrass yourself."
"I know a little about formations."
Ji Mo said sincerely.
Although he wasn't sure of his level, if even Grandmasters of formations needed several days to break the restriction here, then he should be a bit stronger than a Grandmaster.
"If you only know a little, then shut up. Don't affect Senior Yao's work."
"That's right. Master Yao's attainments in formations and mechanisms have already reached the Grandmaster level. How can you be qualified to point fingers at him?"
...
Many people around mocked Ji Mo and, at the same time, seized the opportunity to flatter Yao Zhong and curry favor.
The Golden Lion was more direct, glaring at Ji Mo, "Ant, get out of my sight immediately, or I'll burn you to ashes."
Ji Mo raised his eyelids and whispered excitedly, "It's been a long time since I had lion's head meatballs from home. I wonder if braised lion's head meatballs would taste better if made with real lion's head."
He dared to threaten him?
That's great. It was a good excuse to eat this big lion.
As soon as he said this, the entire场 fell silent.
Did this kid want to die? He actually dared to provoke the Golden Lion like this, courting death!
In an instant, everyone immediately moved far away from Ji Mo, fearing they would be affected.
"Haha, I've only ever eaten people, and no one has ever dared to say they'd eat me. Where did you, an ant, get the courage to speak to me like this? I won't let you die so easily. I will dismantle your bones piece by piece, so you know the consequences of offending me."
The Golden Lion was engulfed in flames, exuding killing intent, and approached Ji Mo step by step.
It had already been harboring a lot of anger and was happy to use Ji Mo as a scapegoat.
"Try moving a single hair of his."
Frost flew, and a chill permeated the air. Bai Jingjing, seeing Ji Mo in danger, no longer hid and immediately rushed forward.
Although she disliked Ji Mo in her heart, she couldn't stand by and watch him die. She had to protect Ji Mo's safety.
At this moment, she shielded Ji Mo behind her, facing the Golden Lion directly, with cold light surging in her palm, ready to strike at any moment.
"Bai Jingjing, you're not dead?"
The Golden Lion was very surprised. It had personally seen Bai Jingjing's heart pierced, and she was clearly doomed.
Now, not only was she fine, but her vitality was incredibly vigorous, with no signs of injury.
"I'm lucky to be alive, and it's time to settle our score."
Bai Jingjing adopted a posture as if she were ready to fight to the death, but in reality, she had no intention of fighting the Golden Lion now.
Mian Abe, that hypocrite, hadn't shown himself. If she were to fight the Golden Lion to a mutual destruction, that fellow would surely take advantage of the situation.
"Assaulting you was the idea of that scoundrel Mian Abe. I was merely instigated by him."
The Golden Lion softened its attitude. It wasn't truly afraid of Bai Jingjing, but the treasure was right in front of them, and it wasn't the time for complications.
Everyone present was in an uproar.
The benevolent Mian Abe was upright and generous. How could he have attacked Bai Jingjing?
"It's probably out of jealousy. Didn't you see how much Bai Jingjing cares about this pretty boy? Perhaps it's because Bai Jingjing fell for this pretty boy that she harbored murderous intent."
"That makes sense. Men, that's what they hate the most. But wasn't it rumored that Bai Jingjing hated men the most? How did she suddenly change her ways?"
"Who wouldn't be almost swayed when someone's so handsome? Even I almost got turned."
"What good is being handsome? All looks, no substance. I see this pretty boy is frail, his kidneys must be weak. When looking for a man, you have to find someone like me, with a good waist and good kidneys."
"Right, right, you have the best waist and the best kidneys. Just wait for Sai Gao to take you. I'm already weak, so I'm not afraid of Sai Gao's attention."
The people around chattered, even discussing gossip.
Bai Jingjing heard their discussions and her face immediately turned red. If such rumors spread, she would have no face to see anyone in the future.
"It's all your fault. Why did you have to show off for no reason?"
She couldn't help but blame Ji Mo. He didn't understand anything and insisted on rushing out to act tough, forcing her to step forward.
Ji Mo looked innocent: "I wasn't acting. The restriction here is indeed very easy to break."
"Easy? If you can break it successfully within a day, I'll kneel down and call you Grandpa."
Yao Zhong couldn't take it anymore. This young man was too shameless. Even now, he was still showing off in front of Bai Jingjing.
Bai Jingjing must have been blind to like such an empty-headed, pretentious blowhard. It was truly like a good flower stuck in cow dung.
"A day?"
Ji Mo shook his head. Just as Yao Zhong was about to mock him, he spoke, "It's not that troublesome. It can be done in an instant."
