The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3048 Powerful Beast

With a loud "bang!", the strange beast and Qian Ying collided, producing a tremendous sound.

Immediately afterward, the strange beast and Qian Ying were both pushed back a distance due to the impact.

However, Qian Ying was very strong, and only took a step back after the impact. She did this because she did not want to take the impact head-on.

The strange beast, however, retreated more than ten meters, its limbs carving deep trenches into the ground as it gripped the earth, its limbs half-buried in the sand.

However, the beast was unharmed; its powerful defenses withstood the impact. Its blood-red eyes stared at the tiny two-legged creature before it, sensing that this creature seemed far stronger than the ones from yesterday.

Especially in terms of attack power, it actually felt that it was not easy to deal with.

However, a beast is a beast. Although it was repelled, it showed no fear. Instead, it shook its huge head, then roared and let out a "Roar!" before pawing the ground with its limbs. Its body instantly left the sandy ground and charged at Qian Ying again.

Qian Ying calmly opened her domain, then waved one hand at the charging beast, her innate power enveloping it in the wave.

"Suppress!" Qian Ying hissed.

One after another, streams of innate power enveloped the beast and then accumulated, unleashing a tremendous force of ten thousand jin directly upon it.

"Bang!" The beast's limbs were pressed directly into the sand of the Gobi Desert by gravity.

"Roar!" The beast roared again, its limbs straining to break free from the immense force pressing down on it, and it continued charging towards him. The innate power within the domain, like a viscous liquid, did little to slow the beast's movements.

"Hmm? I didn't expect this beast to be so powerful, it has actually reached the late stage of the first level of the Innate Realm. It seems that what Ouyang Nan and the others reported about the beast's strength was indeed true."

Qian Ying watched as the beast continued its charge, unhindered by the innate power within the domain, and thus ceased using his own innate power to suppress it. Now, he wanted to test the beast's overall strength and find a way to deal with it.

Within his domain, he controlled everything; all the beast's actions were under his observation. Without haste, he drew his innate short sword, flashed to the beast's side, and slashed at it.

With a loud "clang," the short sword struck the beast, leaving only a slight white mark. As the beast moved, sparks flew between the scales where the short sword had touched.

The beast's scales were incredibly hard; the innate short sword's strikes didn't cut through them, but instead produced sparks.

"Hiss! How can it be so sturdy?" Qian Ying's lips twitched. She really hadn't expected this strange beast to have such a strong defense, and it was really giving her a headache.

When the innate short sword struck the beast's scales, the beast's limbs stopped instantly, carving several deep pits into the Gobi Desert. Then, it swung its long tail at Qian Ying, who was attacking.

The two-legged beast's strength made it uneasy. However, these attacks also enraged the beast, its blood-red eyes seeming to burn with ferocity, and it turned its head to bite the two-legged beast standing beside it.

With a "boom!", the tail lashed out, but Qian Ying dodged it and quickly retreated, once again dodging the huge mouth that was about to bite.

Then, with one kick, he struck the base of the skull's single horn.

Unexpectedly, the immense force failed to break the horn. The sturdiness of the horn was beyond Qian Ying's expectations; it couldn't be separated by kicking.

However, this kick also caused the monster to be dizzy for a few seconds.

However, after the beast regained its senses, it lowered its head and used its horn to poke Qian Ying directly. If it hit him, even with his peak strength at the third level of the Innate Realm, he would be strung together like a candied hawthorn.

"Elder Zhou, let's retreat three hundred meters and see if this beast will cross that distance." Qian Ying frowned, feeling that this beast was not something that could be killed in a short time. She suggested retreating three hundred meters away to discuss with Zhou Zixing how to deal with and kill the beast.

The beast's body was incredibly strong, powerful, and fast; even the attack of the innate short sword couldn't penetrate its protective scales. To kill this beast, one must avoid injury and maintain a certain level of combat strength—this was the reason Qian Ying retreated.

After all, once the beast is killed, the horn is stuck in the recess of the building. If another unexpected event occurs, and another beast or dangerous situation arises, how will he and Zhou Zixing deal with the new crisis when they have exhausted themselves dealing with the beast?

Upon hearing what Qian Ying said, Zhou Zixing agreed and immediately retreated.

The two old dangling creatures darted away and retreated rapidly towards the 300-meter marker. Seeing the two old dangling creatures running away, the strange beasts also took off after them, their sharp horns pointing towards the two men's backs, trying to catch up with them and string the two old dangling creatures together like candied hawthorns.

These two limbed beasts hit me so hard, and now they're running away. I have to get revenge.

Unfortunately, the two old men were just as fast as the beast, and despite the beast's relentless pursuit, they were neither able to close the distance nor be shaken off.

Three hundred meters wasn't a long distance; they covered it in a few breaths. The two old men crossed the three-hundred-meter mark and even retreated several dozen meters further before turning to face the beast. The beast stopped at the mark and roared at the two old men, seemingly challenging them to come and fight it again—why run away if you can't win?
Although I couldn't understand the meaning of the beast's roar, it sounded very vulgar.

"Elder Qian, how strong is this beast?" Zhou Zixing hadn't made a move yet, only seeing Qian Ying exchange a few blows with the beast before retreating to this spot, so he asked curiously.

I'm actually a little worried. If the beast is stronger than Qian Ying, then things will really get complicated.

"The beast is quite strong, roughly equivalent to the late stage of the first level of the Innate Realm, and its speed and defense are both very high. I just used my Innate Short Sword to make a slash, but I couldn't break through its scales. It seems this beast is a bit difficult to deal with." Qian Ying's expression was very serious.

Upon hearing about the beast's strength, Zhou Zixing felt slightly relieved. Compared to his own strength, it was only one rank lower, which made things easier.

"Elder Qian, why don't we join forces and attack this beast together, and see if we can kill it?"

"it is good!"

Qian Ying wasn't reckless either. If it could save time and conserve his own energy, why not? With their combined strength, dealing with a beast equivalent to the late stage of the first level of the Innate Realm should be relatively easy.

The two nodded to each other and then rushed toward the strange beast that was roaring and provoking them.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the beast, and simultaneously punched it from the left and right.

Two loud bangs rang out in quick succession.

The beast initially saw the two old wolves charging towards it, but since the distance was only a few dozen meters and the two wolves were quite fast, it lashed out at Zhou Zixing with its tail while its head snapped at Qian Ying. However, before it could land its attack, it was struck by two heavy punches, which sent a jolt through its body.

Then, the beast roared repeatedly; that fist really hurt.

Fortunately, the beast's scales provided strong defense. Although I felt pain, I wasn't seriously injured, and there wasn't even a white mark on my scales.

The beast instantly spun around, its tail whipping out in a wide arc, even creating sonic booms.

Such a powerful attack forced the two old men to retreat temporarily. The power of a late-stage first-level innate attack, combined with the speed of its tail whipping, would have injured them if it had hit them directly.

The two old men and a huge beast were exchanging blows on the lakeshore, exchanging more than ten blows in the blink of an eye.

Although the two old men landed punches and kicks on the beast, its thick hide and powerful scales allowed it to remain unharmed despite its howling in pain. The two old men also quickly dodged the beast's attacks; a direct hit could have resulted in injury.

The two simultaneously drew their innate short swords, and amidst the clanging sounds, they made dozens of moves, attacking every part of the beast's body. A trail of sparks flew, but they achieved nothing, only leaving some white marks on the beast's scales.

This strange beast's defenses are truly difficult to break through.

The two elders retreated again, each unleashing their own domains and using the innate power of their domains to attack the strange beast alternately, attempting to kill it under the suppression of their innate power.

However, even with the domain's power stacked up to hundreds of thousands of kilograms, the beast was still able to withstand the attack and break free from the domain's restraints.

"Damn it, this beast is really hard to deal with." Qian Ying's face darkened. He really didn't expect this beast to be so resilient. Despite being attacked back and forth by two innate masters, it didn't even have a scratch.

So how exactly can we subdue the beast and remove its horn?
After fighting the alien for a while, the two felt their innate power being consumed too quickly, so they communicated with each other and decided to disengage from the battle to discuss how to make their move.

He dodged back another 300 meters, watching the beast pacing back and forth near the marker, roaring and taunting. Hmm, its insults got even dirtier!
"This beast's defense is really beyond our expectations. If we can't break through its defenses, there's nothing we can do," Qian Ying said helplessly.

"The terrain here is so strange. To continue, we must cross this lake, and the way to cross the lake might lie with this strange beast. So we still need to kill this beast and cut off its horn." Zhou Zixing frowned. He had attacked the beast more than a dozen times but hadn't made any progress. It was really difficult.

"Let's rest for a while and think of a solution first."

"it is good."

The two old men stood there, watching the beast's provocation, but did not continue to attack. Instead, they slowly recovered the innate power they had previously consumed.

Although the battle was short, it consumed a lot of innate power.

The beast roared for a while, but when it realized that the two two-legged creatures weren't coming, it could only turn around dejectedly, run straight to the lakeside, and leap into the water.
