The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3034 A Good Opportunity, A Punch Throwed Out

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the deep lake water was breached, and a huge creature burst out of the water, leaping more than ten meters above the surface before crashing back into the lake.

The impact caused water to splash everywhere, and the water quickly spread to the shore.

The huge splash of water soaked all five people on the shore from head to toe.

The five people didn't care about the water stains on their clothes at all. Instead, upon seeing the huge aquatic beast, Ouyang Nan shouted, "Back up! Back up quickly!"

With a roar, the strange beast that had fallen into the water raised its head and roared. Hearing the sound from the shore, it turned around and charged towards the shore.

The five people immediately retreated again.

Suddenly, the strange beast burst out of the lake and jumped onto the shore. Then, it shook its body, sending water droplets flying everywhere, some even dozens of meters away.

Only then did the five of them get a clear look at the strange beast that had jumped ashore.

The beast was about twenty meters tall and thirty or forty meters long. It had four limbs and a long tail, and its body was covered with long fur. Although it emerged from the water, there were no water droplets in its fur after it swung around.

Its appearance is about 70% similar to a lion, but it is much more ferocious. This is evident in its enormous body, sharp claws, huge head and mouth, and long fangs.

His entire appearance was extremely fierce, with dark red eyes the size of basins, staring at the five people with a menacing glint in their eyes.

"Captain, look at this beast's fangs." Chen Mo looked at the beast and sensed a slight threat. Although the beast was enormous, with sharp claws, long fangs, and a ferocious appearance, he felt that its strength was probably inferior to his own.

Since the distance between the beast and the five of them was more than a hundred meters, what they perceived might actually be different from reality.

However, if one's own strength is truly at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm, then it might be impossible to deal with them. After all, Chen Mo's estimation was based on his own strength, but the other four were not comparable.

"Roar!"

The beast roared at the five people again, lowered its head, and pawed at the ground with its front paws, as if it wanted to charge at them.

"What's wrong with the beast's fangs?" Ouyang Nan looked at the beast's fangs after hearing Chen Mo's words, but found nothing. There were only two rather long fangs, each at least a meter long, protruding from the beast's open mouth, whitish in color, and with a somewhat warm appearance. But apart from that, there was nothing else to note.

Before Chen Mo could answer, the beast instantly sprang into action, charging towards the five of them. It moved with incredible speed, closing in on them in an instant.

"Back up, back up quickly!" Ouyang Nan shouted again.

Of course, the others had already begun to retreat as quickly as possible when the beast charged at them. Naturally, they had to avoid the beasts they did not know.

Especially Qian Zhenghao, before Ouyang Nan could even shout, he had already turned and run. The sheer size and imposing presence of this beast were overwhelming; it seemed like a dangerous creature to be trifled with. So, it was best to avoid it for now and not fight it. He'd wait until he understood its strength before engaging it; otherwise, what if he rushed in and got torn to pieces?

Chen Mo naturally saw Qian Zhenghao running away, but he didn't say anything. The entire expedition team was just exploring, not fighting monsters, so there was nothing wrong with retreating first.

The beast chased the five of them for about three hundred meters before stopping, roaring at them, but not continuing its pursuit.

"The beast seems to have stopped and isn't chasing us anymore," Ouyang Nana said to the others when she turned around and saw the beast roaring but not pursuing them.

Ouyang Nan and Chen Mo had already seen it, but in order to ensure the safety of others, they did not stop the retreat. They only stopped when they were about two hundred meters away from the beast.

However, to Chen Mo and the others' surprise, even though Ouyang Nan had already called for a stop, Qian Zhenghao ignored it and continued running until he was more than a hundred meters away from the four of them. Only then did he stop, turn around, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Qian Zhenghao's cowardice and fear of trouble, Chen Mo couldn't help but complain about the guy. He was really afraid of losing his life and ran away so quickly. But guys who act like this are sure to live longer.

Ouyang Ruoxi naturally stayed by Chen Mo's side the whole time. Whenever he stopped, she would stop too. In short, Ouyang Ruoxi felt very safe and secure as long as she was with Chen Mo. Ouyang Nana, of course, followed Ouyang Ruoxi everywhere. Wherever her young clan leader went, she went too.

Ouyang Nan followed behind Chen Mo, watching over Ouyang Ruoxi and Ouyang Nana, ready to help them immediately if they needed anything.

Upon hearing what Ouyang Nana said, the group turned to look and saw the strange beast hovering about 300 meters from the shore, refusing to move forward. However, it kept roaring at them, as if it were about to rush up and tear them to pieces at any moment.

Seeing that the beast lingered but did not move forward, Qian Zhenghao returned, but stood slightly behind it. If the beast made any changes, he would immediately retreat again.

"This beast is huge," Qian Zhenghao exclaimed, gesturing with his hand.

Ouyang Nan ignored what Qian Zhenghao said and asked Chen Mo, "Amo, what did you just say about fangs? What's wrong with this beast's fangs?" "Oh, each of this beast's fangs is about a meter long, and the thickness is not much different from the deep hole in that building."

"Huh, it really is." After observing for a moment, Ouyang Nan recalled the deep hole in the building he had seen earlier and guessed, "Does it mean we have to put the fangs of the strange beast into that deep hole?"

“That shouldn’t be the case. Otherwise, how could that button appear in the deep cave?” Chen Mo said with some certainty. “Perhaps the sound made when that button is pressed is to summon this strange beast. Then, if the beast’s fangs are put into that hole, something unexpected might happen.”

After thinking about it, Ouyang Nan nodded in agreement, feeling that what Chen Mo said made perfect sense.

"Then, let's test the beast's strength first. If we can defeat it, we'll take one of its fangs and insert it into that hole to see what happens. What do you say?"

"Okay, just give it a try."

Chen Mo was also itching to try his hand and wanted to see just how strong this strange beast really was.

However, because Qian Zhenghao was present, he wouldn't reveal his true strength, instead keeping it within the range equivalent to the tenth level of a martial artist in the acquired realm. This way, he could test the beast's strength without exposing his own.

"Xi Xi, Nana, and Qian Zhenghao, the three of you retreat a little further, stay alert, and don't let your guard down."

Because Qian Zhenghao was present, she called out "Xi Xi" instead of Ruoxi's real name. This was to prevent Qian Zhenghao from overhearing and passing Ruoxi's name to Qian Ying, which could then be overheard by someone with ulterior motives and lead them to guess Ruoxi's identity.

"it is good."

Upon hearing Ouyang Nan's instructions, the three nodded in agreement and then retreated a short distance towards the defensive structure.

Fortunately, the defensive structure was placed more than 500 meters away, and only the wood and planks were hauled over to make a raft. So the defensive structure was intact, but the raft that the group had worked so hard to build and was almost finished was trampled into pieces by the monster when it rushed ashore.

This also annoyed Chen Mo. This was a raft that he and the others had worked on for several hours and was almost finished, but it was trampled into pieces by the strange beast. How could he not be annoyed?

"Alright, let's go."

"Aunt, you must be careful. This beast is probably stronger than the one we fought in the Rift Valley."

Since Qian Zhenghao wasn't around, Chen Mo addressed her as "Aunt" when he spoke up. He was also reminding Ouyang Nan because if she failed to protect herself, he would have no choice but to reveal his own strength and help her. Therefore, the priority when dealing with the alien beast was to protect oneself first.

"Okay, I got it." Knowing that Chen Mo's reminder was well-intentioned, she inexplicably felt a competitive spirit.

The two charged toward the strange beast, one after the other.

When the beast saw the two little creatures rushing towards it, it raised its head and lifted its front hooves, swished them in the air a few times, and then landed heavily, roaring as it retreated dozens of meters.

Seeing the beast's behavior, Chen Mo realized that it was not easy to deal with. After all, a beast that could see the situation clearly and leave itself an attack range was definitely intelligent.

Sure enough, when Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan approached the beast, it did not pounce on them to bite them. Instead, it turned around and used its long tail to swing directly at the two of them.

A deafening boom echoed through the air, and a gust of wind pressure swept over the two of them.

Yes, in Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan's perception, it was a long tail, at least ten meters long and several meters thick, that lashed towards them with a tremendous whooshing sound, and its speed was incredibly fast, almost like the speed of sound.

The two quickly dodged, but Ouyang Nan was caught in the wind pressure wave carried by the tail and lost his footing, staggering back several steps.

Before the two could even stand still, the beast quickly turned around and pounced on them, tearing at them.

In Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan's view, the strange beast was like a prehistoric behemoth, blotting out the sky. Its enormous size and close proximity caused it to pounce and completely obstruct their view.

Seeing this, Chen Mo knew that Ouyang Nan's strength was insufficient to deal with this strange beast.

So he reached out and grabbed Ouyang Nan, then quickly retreated.

With a loud "boom!", the beast pounced down, but missed its target. However, the huge impact created a cloud of dust that enveloped the two people who were retreating.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Mo was overjoyed. Originally, he had simply pulled Ouyang Nan back to avoid being exposed, but he hadn't expected this strange beast to make such a commotion and raise dust that blocked the view of the three behind them. It would be a shame not to give this strange beast a piece of their mind.

So, he used a clever trick to throw Ouyang Nan backward, causing her body to continue to retreat, while he stepped forward and punched the beast's head, which was right in front of him!
