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.

If it hadn’t been for these two pills, he might not have been able to hold out for these past few days.

Once the pills enter his mouth, they immediately dissolve, turning into a gentle medicinal power which permeates his four limbs and bones, continuously healing the injuries within his body.

After his body fully absorbs the medicinal power, Xu Mu takes two Qi Replenishing Pills and continues meditating to recover.

Only when his spiritual power is fully recovered does he breathe a sigh of relief.

By that time, his injuries have been cleaned up by Leng Yuening and treated with medicine. The potent effects of the tier three pills have already scabbed the wounds.

Leng Yuening takes out two tier two Revival Talismans, and after activating them, they automatically burn and form two rays of white light that cover Xu Mu.

Xu Mu only feels warmth spread throughout his body.

The treated wounds, under the power of the talismans, rapidly heal. Scabs fall off soon, and the skin returns to its initial state.

However, this is only surface level recovery, the lost blood can’t be replenished.

“Thank you, Lady Yue Ning!”

Xu Mu, as usual, uses the original form of address for her.

Leng Yuening responds with a soft ‘hmm’, and rises to leave.

On the other side, the meat has already been cooked.

Xu Mu tears off a piece with his bare hands and starts eating heartily.

He brings up the system to start adding points.

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill Master; 1591/1600]!

“Wait until I break through tomorrow, I’ll see how I can kill this bloody beast!”

The green wolf was enduring, wanting to drag Xu Mu down, Xu Mu was likewise enduring, waiting to elevate his mastery of the Thunderbolt Sword Skill to grandmaster level to thoroughly eliminate the threat.

Because of this, the other trump card he had, he had not revealed it at all.

He just wanted to deal a fatal blow at the crucial moment.

The night came quickly. After the defensive array activated, everyone hid in the depths of the cave to rest. Xu Mu leaned against the stone wall, guarding the entrance with the Red Gold Sword next to him.

The green wolf is too powerful. To ensure absolute safety, he would feel at ease only if he were guarding.

“Squeak!”

Ouyang Ying’s Flame Rat hopped over and hid in his arms.

Xu Mu fed it a nut.

The Flame Rat has a sharp sense of danger, so it can serve to alert him, this was temporarily borrowed from Ouyang Ying.

Exhausted from the daytime battle, Xu Mu fell asleep unwittingly.

After an unknown amount of time, the Flame Rat suddenly squealed in his arms. Xu Mu bolted awake and immediately gripped the Red Gold Sword in his right hand.

Looking outside through the defensive array, moonlight pouring down like water, a massive green wolf stood at the entrance, its back against the moonlight.

Seeing Xu Mu awaken, the green wolf glanced at him and disappeared into the night with a leap.

“It’s really afraid of me escaping, huh!” Xu Mu pondered, “But why didn’t it attack today?”

The previous two days, the green wolf would directly attack the array.

Xu Mu had to combat it to avoid the array being destroyed. After all, their layout device was limited. If everything was to be destroyed, it would be impossible to rest at night.

The green wolf’s strange behavior made Xu Mu feel uneasy.

He disliked this sort of feeling.

“Friend Lan!

Xu Mu woke Lan Shijin up.

Under the threat of the tier-four monster beast, Lan Shijin had a light sleep. She woke up as soon as Xu Mu called her.

“I’m going out for a while, please help guard for a while! If anything happens, blow up the cave. Delaying for as long as we can is the best we can do!”

Xu Mu gave her the talismans he had for self-protection.

“Okay!”

Lan Shijin didn’t say much and obediently took them.

The others also woke up one after another.

Xu Mu didn’t say hello one by one. He looked back at his wife, who was clearly unwilling to part ways, and smiled. Then he walked out from the defense array.

The Flame Rat jumped off him and ran back into the cave, bouncing onto Ouyang Ying’s shoulder in a few hops.

Just as Lan Shijin was about to reactivate the formation, Leng Yuening suddenly ran out and handed him a glove made from monster beast hide.

“This is what you wanted!”

“Thank you!”

Xu Mu took the glove, waved to everyone, hid his presence, and dashed towards the direction opposite to where the green wolf was. His figure quickly vanished from everyone’s sight.

Staring at the direction of his disappearance, Leng Yuening stood in a daze.

Lan Shijin, unable to help herself, shook her head.

Looks like it’s impossible to keep this girl from leaving..
