The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2950 Powerful Defense

The martial artists were still some distance away from the hill nursery, but because the entire hill nursery was surrounded by a barrier and filled with white mist, they could not see it despite being relatively close.

Of course, Qian Ying had also instructed all the martial artists not to get too close to the hill nursery. No one knew what would happen if those large white dough figures in the hill nursery discovered them and attacked them again.

On one side were attacks from the giant white dough and the silkworms, and on the other side were attacks from the alien beasts. Caught in a pincer movement, it was impossible for any martial artist not to die.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Qian Ying led a large number of martial artists to continue retreating and rest in a sheltered rocky spot not far from the hillside nursery.

Although the temperature here was still below -100 degrees Celsius, making the warriors very uncomfortable, it was still much better than being surrounded by thousands of strange beasts and being wiped out. Especially after the supplies were retrieved and everyone had replenished their resources, there were no more complaints.

After all, being able to save one's life is better than fighting against a monster.

Qian Zhenghao had already returned to the Qian family's group and recounted the events to Qian Yingdu.

“Since they want you to come back first, stay here tonight and go back tomorrow morning to see what’s going on. If things aren’t right or those people are dead, come back immediately to report,” Qian Ying said.

"Yes, Elder!" Qian Zhenghao immediately nodded in agreement.

Qian Ying waved his hand, telling him to go and rest.

“Elder, I think Ouyang Nan brought Qian Zhenghao back to guard against him.” Qian Wantong, who was listening nearby, said to Qian Ying after seeing Qian Zhenghao leave.

“There’s nothing wrong with being on guard. After all, when we initially arranged for Zheng Hao to join Ouyang Nan’s small team, our intention was to monitor these people. As long as they’re not stupid, they’ll naturally understand what Zheng Hao is up to. So, this matter is out in the open, and Ouyang Nan has no choice but to accept Zheng Hao,” Qian Ying said with a smile.

"Elder is wise!" Qian Wantong immediately flattered him. If not now, when?

Qian Ying smiled broadly, clearly enjoying the flattery.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Nan has not returned to Qian Ying's group, but has returned to the rest area from last night. It is still some distance from the hill nursery, but no strange beasts chased here last night, so this location should be safe.

Although he didn't see any other martial artists, Ouyang Nan knew that they should continue to retreat further in, which would be safer.

However, Ouyang Nan, Ouyang Ruoxi, and Ouyang Nana had no time to think about safety and simply stayed there, waiting for Chen Mo to return safely.

"Aunt, I wonder if Chen Mo is in any danger right now. Should I go check on him?" Ouyang Ruoxi felt that time was passing too slowly and was getting agonizing, so she couldn't wait to go and check on him.

Ouyang Nan shook his head and said, "Since Amo has asked us to return here, we should have more confidence and just wait for him to come back. After all, Amo is a master of the Innate Realm. Even if he can't defeat those strange beasts, he can still retreat safely. Last night, Elder Qian and Elder Zhou both returned safely, didn't they? Besides, if we go forward and encounter strange beasts, what will we do? Not only will we not be able to help, but we might even become a burden to Amo."

Hearing Ouyang Nan's words, Ouyang Ruoxi could only suppress her anxiety and stare at the direction of the canyon, hoping in her heart that Chen Mo could return safely.

Of course, their current location was also shrouded in white mist, but their visibility was better than Qian Ying's. Because Qian Ying's location was closer to the hilly nursery, their visibility was only about three meters before they could see anything.

From Ouyang Ruoxi's perspective, she could only see about ten meters away. Naturally, she couldn't see any canyon, only a misty haze.

Especially at night, the entire valley was completely dark, without a single ray of light. If it weren't for Ouyang Ruoxi and the others having a source of light, they would have been completely blind.

As time passed, Ouyang Ruoxi and the others still hadn't seen Chen Mo return, and naturally they were very anxious.

Fortunately, they were quite far from the canyon, and because the hillside nursery was covered by an array, the roars of the strange beasts from the canyon did not reach them.

If Ouyang Ruoxi and the others heard the roar of the mythical beast, they would definitely run towards Chen Mo out of concern.

On the other side, Chen Mo was fighting against the king-level beast. At this moment, he had no other thoughts but how to defeat the king-level beast in front of him.

With a "clang!", Chen Mo blocked with both arms, then channeled his true energy into his legs and retreated rapidly. However, he did not expect that the tip of the king-level beast's tail would be so fast that it caught up with him as he retreated and then struck him hard between his arms.

In an instant, sparks flew again as the tail tip, resembling an enlarged javelin head, was caught by Chen Mo's arms, losing its power to continue attacking. The king-like beast immediately turned around, and as it swung its tail, the caught tail tip was retracted, even causing Chen Mo to stumble.

There was no way around it; this king-like beast was simply too enormous. Even though its strength was comparable to Chen Mo's, its sheer size meant immense power. If it weren't for the properties of the golden arm guards, he might not have been able to withstand that tail attack.

The tip of that mythical beast's tail was not only sharp but also incredibly sturdy, like a real metal javelin. When it struck the golden arm guards, the impact produced a streak of sparks. Its tail was also very long, extending from the beast's rear like a whip, several meters thick at the base and stretching to over ten meters at the tip. It was not only covered in scales but also remarkably flexible, and its swings were incredibly powerful, capable of splitting or piercing rocks. If that tail were to strike Chen Mo, it would definitely cause him considerable harm.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the king-level beast's tail swung, producing a sound like an air burst. Chen Mo retreated again, increasing the distance between himself and the king-level beast. If he were attacked or grazed by it, he would definitely be injured.

Moreover, the king-like beast seems to be able to use its entire body as a weapon. It not only has a tail, but also sharp claws on its limbs, sharp and separate teeth in its mouth, dense spikes on its back, and long, sharp horns on its head, all of which are powerful weapons of attack.

Any one of these things, if it were to attack Chen Mo's body, would be too much for him to handle.

Chen Mo retreated again and again, and what was originally the edge of the canyon is now hundreds of meters away from it.

This was all the result of the powerful mythical beasts chasing and attacking Chen Mo, forcing him to retreat.

Then he took out several low- to mid-level Thunderstorm Talismans, and with the activation of his true essence, he launched an attack on it.

With a deafening roar, the thunderstorm exploded on the body of the king-level beast.

However, the King Beast's body defense was very high. After the Thunderstorm Talisman exploded, it was completely protected by its protective scales. As for the Thunderstorm Talisman that attacked its head, the King Beast simply closed its eyes, and the attack power of the exploding Thunderstorm Talisman had no effect.

Before the smoke from the exploding thunderstorm talisman had even dissipated, the enormous head of the king-like beast burst forth, swiftly opening its jaws to bite at Chen Mo.

As Chen Mo dodged and retreated, three sharp spikes shot out instantly, aiming at his chest.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" With three consecutive metallic clanging sounds, he used his golden arm guards to knock all three spikes away.

At this moment, the golden arm guards appeared incredibly powerful.

He sighed inwardly, realizing how incredibly lucky he was to have obtained the golden arm guard, especially after refining it; it was truly a great defensive aid. He then promptly refined all his other golden items, knowing they might come in handy someday.

Also, after this expedition ends, be sure to inquire about the Golden Armor; you might be able to find other parts of it.

While defending against the attacks of the king-level beast, thoughts of the golden armor flashed through his mind.

Although he shouldn't be distracted right now, the golden arm guards were so powerful that they were able to defend against the beast's attack.

But how do we deal with this strange beast in front of us?
Currently, even his most powerful weapon, the Azure Jade Sword, is completely ineffective against the King-level Beast. As for talisman attacks, they're practically ineffective, barely scratching the surface. And there's no need to use the Soul-Chasing Nails. After all, if the Azure Jade Sword can't break through the defenses, the Soul-Chasing Nails are useless.

Besides, his current divine sense only covers a distance of three meters. If he gets too close to the beast to attack, its tail will definitely attack him from behind. If he can't defend against it, he'll be in trouble.

So, if you can't defeat the King-level Beast, and the King-level Beast can't do anything to you, then just retreat and return to the hill nursery. Perhaps the King-level Beast will then retreat back to the canyon.

However, simply retreating did nothing to deal with this strange beast, and they didn't know if this king-like beast would reappear during the day.

What if this mighty beast appears during the day?
Besides, he had already injured the leader of the beasts. The appearance of this king-level beast was to avenge the leader of the beasts. So if he didn't deal with it now, it would become a troublesome matter later.

While dodging the attacks of the strange beast, Chen Mo pondered how to deal with it.

Suddenly, he saw the golden arm guards on his arms and remembered that he also had a golden helmet and a spear on it!
When they obtained the golden helmet, the spear not only had internal space, but it could also be used as a weapon on its own.

Since the golden arm guards have such strong defense, then the helmet-spear should also have strong offensive capabilities.

However, Chen Mo remembered that the helmet and spear were no longer in the Qiankun Bag, but were in the Qiankun Pearl!
To use the Qiankun Pearl, an isolation formation is required.

Otherwise, before the king-level beast in front of them has even done anything, if the aura of the Qiankun Pearl is leaked out and Bian Xiu discovers it, it will only cause trouble for him.

Bian Xiu's little bug named Jinzi is still sealed away by himself. Who knows if Bian Xiu has any other tricks up his sleeve?

Therefore, we must always be careful and on guard against Bian Xiu.
