The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2953 A Contemptuous Gaze

With the beast's attack imminent, there was no time for any other movements. All he could do was hug his arms and curl up slightly, preparing to withstand the king-level beast's attack.

With a loud "boom," the beast's forepaws slammed into the golden arm guards, sending Chen Mo flying several meters away after a burst of sparks, but without any effect.

Furthermore, Chen Mo used the force of the impact to increase the distance between himself and the king-level beast, directly dodging the tail that was attacking him from behind.

That damned guy, how could he be so insidious? Every time I attack him, it's not just a frontal attack, but also a mix of other attacks. If I'm not careful in my defense, I might actually get hit by this big guy and get injured again.

The minor injuries he had just sustained were healing rapidly thanks to the various elixirs he had taken. Even the true energy he had just expended had replenished his dantian, and his entire body was brimming with power. There was no other way; after taking the elixirs, all their medicinal properties were spreading along his meridians.

Therefore, Chen Mo now wishes he could kill the alien beast team seven times in and seven times out!
Well, that's just his fantasy. If it were really like that, he might end up in a mess.

After all, at the edge of that canyon, a creature as big as an ox had already emerged; it was a beast guard and the beast leader!
After climbing up, the numerous beast guards quickly attacked Chen Mo, shooting various spikes and leaping to bite him.

The mythical beast suddenly retreated, its blood-red eyes fixed on Chen Mo with a hint of fear. Unfortunately, due to the distance—more than three meters—Chen Mo didn't see it.

The king-like beast raised its head and exhaled bursts of black mist. The mist formed small spheres in the air, which then shot towards the numerous ordinary beasts. One large, gleaming black sphere flew towards the beast leader.

When the ordinary beasts saw the black ball of energy flying towards them, they immediately leaped up and swallowed it whole. Instantly, their bodies swelled up, transforming into the size of a beast guard.

The beast leader swallowed the largest black ball and instantly transformed back into its previous second form, now as large as an elephant and even more majestic and imposing. This transformation was instantaneous and seamless.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mo understood that the black mist floating above the canyon must be the energy source for these strange beasts. And this king-level beast must be hiding within this black mist, absorbing it day and night.

But where did this black mist come from? If these strange beasts needed to absorb this black mist, then no matter how much black mist there was, it should have been absorbed by now, instead of black mist still floating above the canyon when Chen Mo and the others arrived, even covering the entire canyon and making it impossible to see below.

If he hadn't injured the leader of the alien beasts, which led to the appearance of the king-level alien beast and the absorption of all the black mist into its body, he really wouldn't have seen the scenery below the canyon.

Of course, if the black mist wasn't absorbed and continued to float above the canyon, Chen Mo wouldn't have bothered to enter the canyon to investigate what was beneath it.

While he was curious, he was mostly cautious. After all, life is only once, so it's always better to be careful.

The beast, which spewed out a large amount of black mist that formed small black clumps, did not stop, but immediately followed up with a second, and a third...

In a short time, all the ordinary beasts had transformed into beast guards. Once the beasts had completed their transformation, they relentlessly charged at Chen Mo, attacking him with spikes or any part of their bodies, without any regard for anything else, without stopping for a moment.

This really made Chen Mo a bit flustered, and because of the dense attacks, he was unable to use the restrictions to control the formation to fight back against these alien beasts.

"Damn it!" Chen Mo cursed under his breath, using his jade sword to relentlessly kill the beast guards that pounced on him. Interspersed among these attacks were the beast leader's relentless assaults.

This time, the beast leader acted as if it didn't care about its own life, ignoring Chen Mo's attacks and relentlessly biting and shooting out spikes at him.

Once injured, the beast leader would retreat. No matter how severe the injury, as long as it swallowed a small black ball formed from black mist, it could recover from its injury and then continue to charge up to attack Chen Mo.

Under attack from so many strange beasts, Chen Mo didn't even have time to collect the inner cores from the heart of the beast guardians. He could only constantly dodge attacks and change positions. Moreover, this time Chen Mo couldn't leave the area controlled by the formation, otherwise the three formations he had just set up would be unusable.

However, the beasts' frenzied attack has left him with no time to use the restrictive control array.

Damn it, I never expected to be attacked by a strange beast like this, and now I'm in such a dilemma.

The relentless attacks of these monstrous beasts left Chen Mo no time to even complain, as he was too busy dealing with them.

Around him, a glance revealed a dense swarm of alien beasts guarding him, numbering in the tens of thousands, almost impossible to count. From the other side of the canyon, countless more alien beasts continued to pour out, transforming and charging madly towards Chen Mo.

Because there were so many strange beasts, they crowded together and attacked Chen Mo from all directions. As soon as he killed one, another immediately took its place, forming a continuous attack that gave him no chance to breathe!
There was no way he could do anything else; the beasts seemed determined to wear Chen Mo down to death!

Since they were no match for Chen Mo in strength, they resorted to a numbers game of attrition. The sheer number of beasts meant they were indifferent to death. In a short time, Chen Mo had already used over a hundred Vajra Talismans, along with Thunderstorm Talismans, Flame Explosion Talismans, and other talismans, all of which were being rapidly depleted.

He now had to constantly use the Jade Sword to kill the attacking beast guards, and also keep taking out talismans, activating them one by one, and throwing them into the dense horde of beasts to detonate and kill them.

The destructive power of the talismans was actually much higher than that of Chen Mo using the Jade Sword. After all, no matter how the Jade Sword was used, it could only kill one beast at a time, while the Thunderstorm Talisman or Firestorm Talisman, once detonated, could kill all the beast guards within the blast radius with just two or three talismans, which was incredibly brutal.

In an instant, bursts of fire and thunder erupted continuously in the area in front of Chen Mo, and then the strange beasts were killed one after another.

Firelight, lightning, and the glow of longswords flashed incessantly, while the strange beasts were being consumed incessantly.

Even so, the number of strange beasts has not decreased, but is still increasing.

Chen Mo was also unsure of the exact number of these strange beasts.

However, he was now struggling to cope, and after two mistakes, he had sustained minor injuries to one hand and one leg. Although these injuries didn't currently hinder his movement, continuing to endure the attacks from the beasts would eventually turn his minor injuries into serious ones, ultimately leading to his death from exhaustion!

If it weren't for the golden arm guards, he might have been injured in more places than just two.

Although these beast guards weren't particularly strong—the Jade Sword was practically unstoppable, taking down enemies with a single strike—their relentless attacks still forced them to be cautious.

Sometimes, Chen Mo even had to put the golden arm guards into the mouths of the beasts so they could bite them, in order to avoid numerous attacks.

After all, even a king-level beast could only sullenly resist the golden arm guards. These beast guards couldn't even leave a mark on the golden arm guards; they could only break their sharp teeth and be killed by Chen Mo.

"Damn it, just how prolific are these monster mothers? They've given birth to so many monsters! It's outrageous!" Chen Mo thought to himself as he continued to kill the monsters.

The formation is set up but cannot be used. What should we do now?
Just then, the mythical beast seemed to notice Chen Mo's slightly distorted attack, so it lowered its head and charged at him.

Any beast guards that blocked the way or failed to retreat in time were directly knocked away by this king-like beast.

With a thunderous roar, the king-level beast attacked and approached. Chen Mo, surrounded by a dense array of beast guards and attacks from the beast leader, had no way to break free and deal with the charging king-level beast.

"Damn it, they're trying to wear me down. Fine, I won't hold back anymore, let's just start fighting!" Chen Mo complained as he casually pulled out a thunder sword.
The Thunder Sword is intact and contains powerful energy, just waiting to be released.

After killing all the beast guards around him, he saw the enormous body of the king beast approaching through the other beast guards that were rushing towards him. Its blood-red eyes held a ferocious and contemptuous look.

It seems this powerful beast felt confident it could defeat him with such a dense barrage of attacks. Otherwise, its eyes wouldn't have revealed such contempt.

Haha, this big guy actually attacked me with sheer numbers and even gave me that contemptuous look. He's really quite arrogant.

In that case, enjoy the lightning massage that's about to begin!

Chen Mo's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. He then cleared away the numerous beast guards in front of him and looked at the beast that was pouncing towards him. He chuckled to himself.
Thunder Sword!

He thought to himself, then gently tossed the thunder sword in his hand into the air.

The release of the Thunder Sword is both simple and complex.

It's simple because it only requires using mental power to activate the lightning power contained within and release it. It's not simple because, for the ability users in Europe, mental ability users are extremely rare, and the number of lightning swords is also limited. Therefore, the combination of these two factors means they are not used lightly; they are only used by mental ability users in emergencies.

For Chen Mo, using it was naturally incredibly simple.

With a thought, the Thunder Sword flew three meters into the air and immediately unleashed a world-destroying power!
Chen Mo instantly activated and released the lightning power within the Thunder Sword!
