Capítulo 28: The Siege

Outside Sunnywood City, Su Mo held Xi'er's hand as they walked along the mountain trail.

"Xi'er, if we encounter any demonic beasts, hide behind me," he said.

"Uh-huh!" Xi'er nodded.

After a while, they arrived and entered Breezewind Mountains.

Howl!

A Class 2 Lv 1 lion-like demonic beast lept out at them, and Su Mo easily punched it to death.

"Xi'er, close your eyes!" he said.

Xi'er was a little bit surprised but did not ask why and obediently closed her eyes.

Su Mo released his Martial Soul, which instantly devoured the demonic beast's Beast Soul, essence, and blood.

He told Xi'er to close her eyes, not because he did not trust her and did not want her to know his secret, but because he wanted to protect her.

He did not want her to be traumatized by watching a demonic corpse turn into a mummy.

"Alright, Xi'er, let's go!" said Su Mo while taking the Demonic Core out of the demonic beast.
