Chapter 60: Chapter 50: Tier Four Monster Beast_i
Translator: 549690339
Damn beast!Staring at the towering figure in the distance – a green wolf several feet tall, emanating a cyan glow, with an air of striking nobility – Xu Mu couldn’t help but curse through gritted teeth.
Unfortunately, mere verbal insults were entirely ineffective. His formed flame daggers were all evaded by the wolf’s graceful movements, an epitome of elegant finesse.
Even the explosions from the detonation of his daggers were of no use. They were easily dispelled by the wind spiritual power surrounding the green wolf.
This green wolf was a tier-four monster beast at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Xu Mu had originally thought that his powers would suffice in slaying a tier-four monster beast at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But encountering one in reality made him realize his naivete.
Be it speed, strength, reaction, or defense, he was utterly overwhelmed by the enemy.
As if strolling leisurely, the green wolf continued to dodge his attacks, its eyes filled with anthropomorphic scorn.
Explosive attacks that could easily kill a practitioner in the late Qi Cultivation Stage were nothing more than a cool breeze to it.
Xu Mu, currently only at the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, found his intense assault depleting his spiritual power rapidly, and he soon began to show signs of exhaustion.
As his attack frequency decreased, the green wolf seized the opportunity, making a sudden leap and, with a few body flickers, came near him within a range of thirty feet.
Hum!
Opening its wide mouth to reveal sharp white fangs, countless Cyan lights converged towards its mouth, forming a green orb of light.
“Damn it! Again!”
Xu Mu’s brow twitched, he quickly mobilized his remaining spiritual power to form several fire shields in front of him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Innumerable wind blades spat out from the green wolf’s mouth, shattering Xu Mu’s shields, and finally colliding with the protective spiritual light around Xu Mu.
Crack!
His protective spiritual light couldn’t withstand it either, Xu Mu was blown away, his body covered in fresh blood, he looked like he’d just been hauled out of a pool of blood.
The green wolf didn’t chase after its victory, but turned and ran, as a fireball swirling with changing colours appeared in Xu Mu’s hand.
This was the same fireball that had nearly killed the wolf previously.
Bearing this fireball’s grudge was precisely what made the wolf relentlessly ambush Xu Mu and his team.
“Damn beast, don’t you dare run away!! Shit!”
Xu Mu cursed again, but had no choice but to quickly disperse the fireball in his hand, in fear of accidentally blowing himself up when he couldn’t control it later.
Afterward, he endured the pain, quickly rose and left.
Not long after, Xu Mu reached a cave.
The several people hiding in the cave rushed out to check upon hearing the approaching footsteps.
“Husband! Are you alright?”
A visibly pregnant Ye Yingying rushed forward to support him, her eyes filled with worry.
Yes, Ye Yingying was pregnant and had been for over two months.
She likely conceived sometime before their journey began, due to a mistake.
Friend Xu!
The others also hurried over to inspect him.
Apart from Ye Yingying and two children, virtually everyone in the team was injured.
The injuries weren’t caused by the green wolf but by other monster beasts that attacked when Xu Mu was combating the green wolf. Fortunately, there were no major casualties.
“Don’t worry, I just have a few scrapes!”
Xu Mu squeezed out a smile.
Indeed, most of the injuries were skin-deep, although there were some that were severe.
However, saying anything about it would be in vain, as the others couldn’t help him.
Little Ling’er, frightened by his appearance, ran into Ye Yingying’s arms and started bawling.
All Xu Mu could do was offer a bitter smile.
“Friend Lan, please keep watch for me; I need to heal my wounds,” Xu Mu entered the cave, saying.
“Alright!”
Lan Shijin nodded, promptly summoned his sword, activating all the defensive arrays guarding the cave entrance.
“Friend Ouyang, could you please roast the meat for me? Cook it thoroughly!”
Xu Mu handed over a tier-three monster beast he had hunted down earlier to Ouyang Ying.
Zhang Shouren also hurriedly helped, along with his grandchild Zhang Yu.
Leng Yuening, as was her habit, stepped forward to disinfect his wounds and apply hemostatic medicine on them.
None of the others found this strange.
Ye Yingying could only console crying Little Ling’er on the side.
Her current condition made her unsuitable for handling these medicines.
After taking the Return Yuan Pill used for healing, Xu Mu sat on the ground to meditate and regain his strength.
The healing pills were what he had obtained from Luo Xu initially. They were tier-three pills and proved to be very effective. The blood nourishing pills used externally were also tier-three pills obtained from Luo Xu.
