The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2951 First Injury
The spear on the golden helmet should be sharper than the jade sword in his hand.

Of course, since it hadn't been refined yet, it could only be used like a regular weapon to attack this king-like beast. In fact, because the helmet spear was relatively short, about the size of an ordinary dagger, attacking the king-like beast required getting close to its body.

Therefore, setting up an array also serves another purpose: to slow down the movements of this powerful king-level beast, making it less agile when the king-level beast gets close to him, thus allowing his attacks to be smoother.

Although the beast before them was enormous, its movements were incredibly agile, seemingly defying the laws of physics. Normally, such a massive body would be clumsy and unresponsive when moving or attacking, but in its fight with Chen Mo, the beast moved with lightning speed, its attacks as swift and precise as a gazelle leaping across the sky, utilizing every part of its body to strike Chen Mo.

If this beast had weapons, it might be able to use all eighteen kinds of weapons.

As Chen Mo watched the king-level beast charge forward once again, its body moving with lightning speed, he sighed inwardly. If this king-level beast were even slightly stronger than him, he would definitely not fare well today and might be sent to his death.

Once again, his resolve to be a good sixth brother only strengthened.

After quickly dodging an attack, Chen Mo took out the array bases and began to set up a large array. This time, he planned to use 324 array bases to set up a larger and more complex array, which would not only assist him but also suppress the attacks of the king-level beasts.

Of course, with more array bases, setting up becomes extremely troublesome, especially with a large creature constantly chasing and attacking, using various parts of its body to launch attacks. To set up the array effectively, one must be wary of this strange beast.

However, since the decision has been made to use the helmet lance to attack this strange beast, let's proceed with the planned action.

As he activated his true essence, the array bases immediately began to rotate around his body. One hundred and eight array bases were the basic array bases of a complex array. The complex array he was about to set up required three sets of one hundred and eight array bases, which was three hundred and twenty-four array bases. He had to lay them out one by one, especially under the powerful attack of the king-level beast.

This was the first time setting up an array under such circumstances, so Chen Mo was extremely cautious. If the array base was released in the wrong position, it could weaken the array's power or even render it ineffective.

As the true essence was activated, the array bases lit up one by one, revolving around Chen Mo like halos in the darkness.

Then, as the hand seals were cast, these illuminated array bases instantly flew to their designated locations, following the casting of the seals!

In an instant, 108 array bases were scattered across the night sky within a hundred-meter radius, their scattered light like twinkling stars.

At this moment, the mythical beast retracted its tail that had been attacking Chen Mo, and instantly launched an attack on the array bases that were shimmering with starlight.

The beast reacted immediately after Chen Mo lit up the array base. However, Chen Mo's dodging movements were too fast for it to keep up with. So, seeing the light scatter, it used its tail to lash out at the nearest point of light.

As these points of light flickered, it became alert, sensing that they must not sink into the ground, or else they would pose a threat. This feeling arose the moment the points of light lit up.

Unfortunately, the beast seemed a little slow. When it swung its tail, the points of light flashed and disappeared instantly, disappearing directly into the ground. Some of these points of light even disappeared into rocks, as if the soil and rocks had all turned into nothingness, and then these points of light disappeared into them instantly, without the slightest delay.

The mythical beast swung its tail, but missed.

The beast immediately turned its eyes, its huge red eyes staring at Chen Mo, radiating a ferocious aura, and then shot out ten sharp spikes at him.

"Damn it!" Chen Mo muttered, instantly slipping away to dodge the ten sharp spikes.

The first set of array bases has just been set up, so you can naturally take cover freely.

After dodging, he took out another set of array bases, and then, with the activation of his true essence, lit up all 108 array bases one by one.

Moreover, this time, when he took out the array base from his Qiankun bag, his divine sense happened to scan a small thing, and he almost gave himself a flick on the head.

Inside the Qiankun Bag are two Thunder Swords, obtained from Cambodia and Myanmar respectively. These are powerful weapons for dealing with formidable enemies; once released, they can indiscriminately attack everything on the scene.

It might be a bit of a stretch to deal with this beast, but if I had used the Thunder Sword to unleash an attack when thousands of beasts attacked me before, I could have sent thousands of beasts flying.

Previously, he had been busy killing, but he hadn't killed many strange beasts, which was a real pity.

If only I had thought of the Thunder Sword earlier, I wouldn't have been so exhausted.

Unfortunately, only one of the Thunder Swords had full energy; the other had only half its energy remaining. Therefore, if it were used to deal with a group attack from the alien beasts, it could only be used once and a half times. It could also be used to deal with this giant alien beast.

Perhaps this beast can withstand the attack of the Thunder Sword; after all, the defensive power of a king-level beast is simply too strong. But as long as we can slow down this king-level beast, and then attack it with the helmet spear, wouldn't that suffice? Of course, the formation still needs to be set up. After all, the formation not only has offensive and defensive effects, but its most important function is to shield the aura of the Qiankun Pearl in order to retrieve the helmet spear from it.

Chen Mo's refinement of the Qiankun Pearl is not yet complete; he has only completed the second level and is currently working hard to complete the third level. If he completes the fourth level of refinement, he might be able to take things out of the Qiankun Pearl without having to remove it from his dantian.

As the true essence was activated, the second set of 108 array bases began to light up and then rotated around Chen Mo.

At this moment, the beast suddenly flashed and approached Chen Mo. Then, more than ten sharp spikes shot out, and the spikes on its tail also attacked Chen Mo's back from behind.

At that moment, the king of the beasts spewed out a cloud of black mist, attempting to envelop Chen Mo instantly.

The sound of explosions echoed continuously, and Chen Mo's expression changed upon seeing such an attack. Earlier in the day, he had discovered that the black mist had corrosive properties, but he wasn't too worried. After all, even if the black mist had corrosive properties, it wouldn't have any effect on him, as he had the Vajra Talisman on him and could defend against it.

But now, black mist was spewing from the mouth of this king-like beast, and the mist itself was even darker. In this pitch-black night, if Chen Mo hadn't possessed daytime vision, he really wouldn't have been able to distinguish it.

However, one can also sense through smell that this black fog is far more foul-smelling than the black fog seen floating above the canyon during the day. And given such a foul odor, its corrosive or toxic properties must be much greater.

Spikes, tail, and black mist combined to launch a three-pronged attack, forcing Chen Mo to interrupt the deployment of the array base and dodge into the gaps in the three-pronged attack. Of course, while dodging, he was also on guard against other attacks from the king-level beast.

However, unexpectedly, Chen Mo dodged instantly, only to be blocked by a huge body.

When the mythical beast saw Chen Mo dodge, it instantly accelerated, its body flashing towards the gap in Chen Mo's path.

Then, the beast, with lightning speed, used its two forelimbs to attack Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had no time to change his tactics and could only use the golden arm guards to block the attacks of the king-level beast.

With two loud clangs, Chen Mo's golden arm guards collided with the two sharp claws of the king-like beast, causing his body to be forced backward.

The beast's attack this time was all-out, and it also took advantage of its massive size to strike Chen Mo. Therefore, the impact was so strong that he couldn't stop and could only retreat several meters.

But at this critical moment, the pointed end of the king beast's tail came right up to Chen Mo!

Chen Mo instantly sensed the attack from the tip of the beast's tail. He could only use his true essence to protect his vest. There was no time for him to turn around, so he could only use his true essence to strengthen the defense of his back and withstand the attack.

As expected, the beast's tail spikes instantly pierced through the protection of the 108 array bases surrounding it. These array bases, even when not deployed, served as part of its defense because they surrounded it.

Instantly, the 108 array bases were scattered by the impact, but they also slightly blocked the power of the spikes. Then, with a flash of light on the outside of the body, a soft "pop!" sound was heard, and some defensive talismans, such as the Vajra Talisman, were directly broken through.

Then, with a loud "boom!", the tip of its tail struck Chen Mo's back. With a deafening crash, Chen Mo coughed up blood, instantly injured. Fortunately, thanks to the array base and defensive talismans reducing the power twice, the protection of his true essence, and the fact that the beast's strength was comparable to his own, this injury was only minor and not serious.

Chen Mo's body was not greatly affected. The moment he spat out blood, he used the beast's tail attack to dodge to the side, instantly widening the distance between himself and the king-level beast.

Amidst the billowing black mist, the sharp horn of the king-like beast's head had already pierced the spot where Chen Mo had just been standing.

If you hadn't used the momentum to dodge, you would not only have been injured in the back, but you would also have been stabbed in the side by the beast's sharp horn.

This king-like beast is truly cunning, possessing so many attack methods.

Moreover, seeing Chen Mo spit out a mouthful of blood, it didn't stop its body, raised its sharp claws, and instantly tore the rocks on the ground into pieces. Using the momentum, it turned around and charged towards Chen Mo again in an instant.

"Damn it!" Chen Mo swallowed the healing pills he had prepared in his Qiankun bag beforehand, and then quickly dodged.

Of the 108 array bases that had just been lit, dozens were knocked away. Because the divine sense only had a range of three meters and the attack was rather rapid, it was not possible to retrieve the knocked-away array bases before they could be used. Therefore, this set of array bases could not be used and had to be abandoned for the time being. After letting them scatter, another set of array bases was taken out and lit up again when the true essence was activated.

Setting up an array has this drawback: it's quite cumbersome. It's far less convenient than an array plate. If you have an array plate, you can directly channel your true energy to it, then throw it out to complete the array setup.

Therefore, after this expedition, we should first repair the array plate for easy use.
