The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2960 The Nine-Headed King Beast

Chen Mo retreated instantly, while the nine strange beasts lined up and rushed into the cave, then frantically chased him along the cave walls.

Damn!

He could only speed up his retreat, thankfully without the worry of being surrounded by the king-level beasts. After all, although the cave was relatively spacious, for king-level beasts, it was better to pass through one by one if they wanted to move quickly within it.

Of course, Chen Mo hadn't been unaware that he would be attacking these king-level beasts right inside the cave, since he would only be facing one king-level beast in the process.

However, the beast was very fast, slightly faster than him. If they weren't in a cave, it would have caught up with him long ago. Keep in mind, Chen Mo's current speed was enhanced by the Speed ​​Talisman.

This also shows that the speed of these strange beasts is truly a special talent, and it's quite enviable.

In addition, these mythical beasts have diverse attack methods. If you fail to kill them in one move, you will have to face attacks from other mythical beasts that attack in conjunction with the former.

Besides, his current spiritual sense range is only three meters, which would be quite dangerous if he got too close to these king-level beasts. After all, these king-level beasts have transformed and are now as strong as him. If he makes a mistake, the consequences would be far beyond what he could bear.

The powerful beasts passed through the cave one by one, but there was always room for two if you squeezed in. So, in this situation, it was really a headache to figure out how to deal with these powerful beasts.

Wait a minute, Chen Mo suddenly realized that since dealing with these king-level beasts was rather troublesome, why not just leave them alone?

There are other ways to obtain the Yellow Springs Flower: go back and destroy the remnant soul hidden within it. Without anyone controlling these king-level beasts—no, without the remnant soul controlling them—you can find an opportunity to defeat them!
These powerful beasts possess intelligence, but the abilities of their remnant souls are precisely what those remnant souls bestow. Once the remnant souls are destroyed, the intelligence of these beasts will diminish. In this way, although they are inherently powerful, they will be much easier to deal with.

However, to eliminate the remnant soul within the flower, the flower itself must be destroyed. The yin-spirit water contained within the flower will also be destroyed, which is truly a pity. But the destruction of the flower doesn't kill the entire plant. As long as there is spiritual energy, the plant will continue to grow flowers a hundred years later, and after another hundred years, it will bloom again, generating yin-spirit water.

This just takes up more time.

Either you have to go to the Yellow Springs to see the flowers on the other side of the river, or two hundred years later, you will have a continuous supply of water from the dead. Is this choice so difficult?
It's decided, that's how we'll do it!

But what if we shake off these powerful mythical beasts behind us?

Seeing that the beast was about to catch up with him, and that its sharp spikes were shooting at him like crossbow bolts, it really wouldn't stop until it killed him.

Chen Mo also realized that these king-level beasts were as fast as him, and if he weren't currently in a cave, he would have been caught up by them and surrounded.

Therefore, even if he reaches the top of the canyon now and tries to escape to the hilly nursery area, he might not be able to get there. The mythical beasts will definitely catch up with him and then surround and attack him.

Therefore, Chen Mo can only turn back to deal with the remnant soul now. Destroying it will be his moment of victory.

However, if one tries to return, these powerful beasts will relentlessly pursue them. One will inevitably be attacked from behind by sharp spikes; how can one defend against these spikes?

You can't just turn around and defend yourself when you see spikes attacking you with the golden arm guards, right? That would not only slow you down, but also make you more vulnerable to being surrounded by the king-level beasts.

However, besides the golden arm guards, all he had was the golden cloak.

While the golden cloak can defend against the lightning sword's attack when above the canyon, it may not be able to defend against the spiked attack of the transformed king beast.

What should I do?
Why not take advantage of this chase and try out the golden cloak to see if it can defend against those spikes? But if the golden cloak is damaged, wouldn't I lose a precious item?
That's not quite right either. If the golden cloak can't defend against the spiked attack of a king-level beast, then it can't be called a treasure. After all, if it can't even withstand the attack power of a fifth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, then it's not very useful.

Therefore, Chen Mo immediately decided to test the defensive capabilities of the golden cloak to see if it could withstand the spiked attacks. If it could, then the attacks of the king-level beast might even become an asset.

Hey.

Do it when you think of it.

Chen Mo took out the golden cloak and put it on, but this time he didn't wear it normally. Instead, he wore the cloak in front and left it open at the back, as if he were wrapped up. After he stopped, a sharp spike shot out instantly.

Chen Mo bent his legs, wrapping himself in the golden cloak, and golden arm guards also appeared, firmly protecting his chest and head. With the golden cloak on the outside and the golden arm guards on the inside, if he were attacked by spikes and the cloak was breached, the golden arm guards would block it, thus putting him completely safe.

With a "thud," the spike struck the golden cloak directly, slightly denting inward upon impact. The spike lost its momentum and fell to the ground. A sweep of divine sense revealed that the gold was completely undamaged, and the force of the dent wasn't significant. Most of the force had been dispersed by the cloak, and the remaining force wasn't enough to make him retreat.

The golden cloak's defensive capabilities did not disappoint him; it was truly impressive. As expected of a component of the golden armor, it made Chen Mo reiterate his determination to collect all the pieces of the golden armor. If he could wear the golden armor, he could wipe out any number of these king-level beasts that came his way.

His divine sense swept over the spikes that had fallen to the ground. Because the cloak was relatively soft and its concave shape dissipated most of the force, the spikes' tips remained undeformed and still incredibly sharp. Seeing this, Chen Mo instantly realized they might be useful later, so he used his divine sense to store them in his Qiankun bag.

Then, Chen Mo retreated again, maintaining a certain distance from the King Beast, and continued to attract the King Beast to attack him.

He blocked each spike attack with his golden cloak, then collected them one by one into his storage bag. In no time, he had collected over a hundred spikes.

Of course, many more spikes are embedded in the cave walls and cannot be recovered. Even if they could be recovered, the tips of these spikes would be damaged and unusable.

Moreover, it was because of the winding nature of the cave that Chen Mo was not caught up with and surrounded by the king-level beast.

So Chen Mo treated it like walking a dog, occasionally collecting the sharp thorns, and then quickly ran back to the ground along the path he had come from.

With a "whoosh!", Chen Mo leaped out of the cave and then landed in the adjacent cave.

This time, he returned to the canyon floor in less than half an hour. Closely following behind him was the nine-headed king-like beast. Therefore, he didn't delay, directly choosing a nearby cave and diving inside.

As for the spikes, we've already collected over a thousand, and of course, there's no problem in continuing to collect them; they'll definitely be useful in the future.

Anyway, the more of these things, the better. Just now, while he was on the run, he took out a sharp spike to examine it. The spikes of those beast leaders and guards in the past weren't really that useful. But this spike in his hand was not only extremely sharp, but also incredibly tough. He had tried with all his might and couldn't break it at all.

Furthermore, even when Chen Mo used Onimaru, he only left a tiny trace, which could only be severed by the Jade Sword.

Now, he even wanted to capture these mythical beasts and have them continuously supply him with spikes. After all, such valuable things are always welcome in abundance.

Of course, this was just Chen Mo's fantasy. How could he possibly capture a king-level beast controlled by a remnant soul?

Furthermore, we still don't know what these strange beasts are made of. How did the small strange beasts that originated in the pool grow into the larger ones?

After Chen Mo entered the cave, the nine-headed king-like beast followed closely behind, leaping out of the cave and roaring as it entered.

The roar of the beast still echoed through the canyon, but the figure of the nine-headed king beast had already disappeared into the cave.

Chen Mo continued what he had been doing, moving forward while collecting the spikes from these strange beasts.

The cave he entered wasn't much different from the one he'd entered before. After walking a certain distance, it still forked. However, this time, Chen Mo didn't use the array base as a marker; he simply used the jade sword to leave a mark at the fork.

Now that he knows what's down in the cave, he has nothing to worry about. Even if he gets lost, he can simply use the Jade Sword to dig his way up.

He remained incredibly fast, maintaining a safe distance from the pursuing beast king. Every spike that struck him was collected into his storage bag.

The two chased each other through the cave, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the lowest part of the cave.

Along the way, Chen Mo collected several thousand more spikes, making it a truly fruitful trip.

When he stepped out of the cave, he saw the Yellow Springs Flower still blooming in the pool of space, its flowers still so beautiful and enchanting.

However, Chen Mo did not stop and headed straight for the flowers.

Unfortunately, he can only run on the ground now, and cannot fly on his sword. Damn this canyon, damn these restrictions. If he could find the central control point of the formation, he would definitely remove all the restrictions.

The nine-headed kings behind him also instantly emerged from the cave, then immediately changed formation and charged towards Chen Mo side by side.

Now that we have space, why don't we quickly surround this guy? What are we waiting for?
