Chapter 104: Mo Se
As the little beetle grew in size, its eating speed increased significantly.
Zane was left dumbfounded, watching as this creature cleaned up all the remains.
It had grown as big as a bunk bed, then annihilated all the remaining corpses, leaving the battlefield spotless.
A series of notifications had left Zane stunned.
System Notification: Your special pet ‘Sacred Demon Beetle’ has leveled up through eating, now at level 6.

Is it really possible to infinitely evolve just by feeding? No, the pet’s level can’t exceed the owner’s level, and…
The little… big beetle quickly climbed back to Zane, its half-meter long antennae brushed against the golden-haired girl’s bangs.
A cold wind blew, causing Zane to shiver. Could it be that it was going to devour its owner!?
But as it turned out, she was overthinking it.
It gently lowered its head, affectionately nudging the girl’s toes.
“Whoa…” That was scary; being stared at by such a large insect was quite imposing.
Looking at its smooth back, which remained untainted despite wandering around the pile of corpses, Zane had a sudden idea.
She pressed down on the beetle’s back and gently sat on it.
“Hahaha! Now I also have a mount!” The golden-haired girl laughed triumphantly.
However, from Starry’s perspective, it looked like a late-chunin girl, and she quickly stopped this foolish behavior.
She should name it; she couldn’t keep calling it beetle, right?
By the way, is it female or male? Who cares, let’s just pick a name.
Swallowing the Sky?
What a tacky name.
Big Black?
…That seems to have too many flaws; let’s avoid that one.
A Western transliterated name seems okay; how about…
“How about naming you Mo Se?” Zane tentatively asked.
System Notification: Congratulations on successfully naming the special pet ‘Sacred Demon Beetle’ as ‘Mo Se’!
Mo Se didn’t speak, but it seemed to agree with the name since a system notification popped up.
“Mo Se, can that sister sit on you too?”
It didn’t respond but directly climbed in front of Starry, gently lowering its head.
So clever? And its speed earlier seemed faster than when Zane used Sprint in Gray Wolf form, right?
Then Starry also sat on top of it.
Star Cat seemed eager to join in, but Mo Se’s back was in a half-circular hill shape, and only the center position could hold someone. Star Cat found no room, so Starry recalled the Ice Frost Tiger.
Mo Se couldn’t enter the pet space, and Zane had no idea how to handle it when logging off…
But for now, it served as a mount, sparing her the hardship of turning into a gray wolf to carry Starry along.
However, with only 2000+ health, Mo Se wasn’t particularly sturdy, and Zane needed to prioritize avoiding danger.
The Gray Wolf King intended to claim Holyflower Village as its territory and relocate all the Wolf Clan there.
But that was unrealistic.
The ghouls had only temporarily retreated; as long as the Death Knight’s lingering aura remained, it wouldn’t be long before they returned.
Moreover, today’s battle was certainly not the end; more monsters or humans would likely come through here.
Thus, the location must be changed.
With more than two days left, and having already advanced several levels, it would be better to explore new maps during this time. Higher-grade herbs were often found in those higher-level maps.
As for the two pet eggs, she could use them when the opportunity arose; after all, they were silver-grade pets, capable and harmful.
“Let’s go!”
Mo Se quickly sped off with the two girls.
…
The moment Yuhua Dianhuo saw the avatar of Yi Meng Fu Sheng turn gray, his face turned green. He was just joking around; who didn’t know the notorious ID of Yi Meng Fu Sheng? That was a well-known swordsman expert!
But reality was more fantastical than stories; did Endless Sea win?
It must have been deliberate, only that explanation fits considering the greetings exchanged before their battle; did they shake hands to make peace mid-fight?
Their deadly struggle went unseen to onlookers, so it was unknown.
But this didn’t stop Yuhua Dianhuo from reporting to the Boss. Was he kidding himself, thinking he could ride on others just because he was skilled!?
Yuhua Dianhuo shouted, “That fool thought he could win; our Yuhua can’t afford to lose this face! Brothers, let’s wipe them all out and reclaim our pride! A bounty of 200 soft currency for a head!”
“Oh—!” They had been bored by the standoff, with nothing to do, but upon hearing about the bounty, they perked up.
At the same time, Endless Sea also emerged from the battle.
“Damn, that was fast! I just finished!”
No one spoke, all tensed and ready for battle.
Traveler entered stealth mode, cautiously circling near Youyoufen and Shiu.
Youyoufen summoned Lord Xisi, the Lightning Rabbit, and the Little Butterfly, while Shiu spread a Sea of Fire behind them, eliminating the fear of ambush.
Sure enough, the moment the Sea of Fire was unleashed, two assassins were burned out of their hiding spots; they had been lying in wait behind the crowd!
At this moment, their health was plummeting at over 800 per second while caught in the flames; they likely wouldn’t last beyond three seconds!
The two assassins turned pale and exchanged glances, nodding sharply before fiercely throwing their daggers!
Poison Dagger!
A skill learned after reaching level 20, one of the few ranged skills, and carried significant toxicity; if combined with self-made poison, the damage could escalate even further!
Shiu watched the daggers fly toward him, utterly powerless; he didn’t have that kind of absurd reflex speed!
-579
-1023
The consecutive hits nearly cost the Little Mage her life, leaving her with just a sliver of health.
However, the poison remained,
-100
+356
-100
At a critical moment, the Lightning Rabbit unleashed a burst of white light that hit Shiu, saving his life.
Realizing what happened, he quickly consumed a Heart-Steady Pill and a high-grade HP Potion; the effects of the poison faded after five seconds.
Assassins were natural enemies of Mages; a surprise backstab plus Poison Dagger could nearly take out any Mage of equal level!
However, the two assassins also fell in the Sea of Fire.
“Did they not die?” Yuhua Dianhuo was shocked; he clearly saw there was no healer on the opposite side!
But there was no time for astonishment, “Let the Knight block the front, and the Mage spread the Sea of Fire; don’t let a single one escape!”
