The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3110 A Very Heavy Stick

While Zhou Zixing relayed the message, Qian Ying tried her best to speed up, overtaking the stumbling beasts, and running towards the exposed gap in the encirclement.

Even though the beast had tripped over him during the attack, he didn't stop and continued attacking it. Continuing to attack the tripped beast might injure it.

However, now is not the time to attack the beasts, and there is not just one beast; there are hundreds more chasing after them.

What we need to do now is speed up and run out through the gap that has appeared.

"Elder Zhou, chop off the beast's limbs with all your might."

Beside him, Zhou Zixing heard Qian Ying's telepathic message and saw the strange beast in front of him trip and fall to the ground. He also mustered all his strength and used it to its fullest extent.

Now is not the time to conserve strength; in such a critical moment, we must strike decisively.

Sure enough, when Zhou Zixing unleashed his full power with his sword, the beast was also unable to dodge. When its limbs were attacked, it instantly fell to the ground, somersaulting several times before finally standing up unsteadily.

As the beast fell, it cleared the space that had been surrounded, creating a passage for Zhou Zixing to escape.

Zhou Zixing was overjoyed; Heaven had not forsaken him!

He sped off toward the open gap.

The two strange beasts were already about to come together and stand side by side. If other strange beasts joined in, they would definitely trap Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing on the spot.

Unfortunately, both beasts were tripped up by the attack, leaving a huge gap in the encirclement that was about to close.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing were about ten meters apart, and they ran quickly toward the open space one after the other.

Just as the two had overcome the stumbling beast and were about to break free from the pincer encirclement, a white stick flew from behind them in the distance, spinning.

The whistling sound of the wind pressure generated by the rapid movement of the stick was deafening in the darkness.

"Whoosh..." It spun around and flew towards the two of them.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing's expressions changed immediately. They used their innate short swords to defend their chests and tried to jump to the sides to avoid the sticks.

With two sharp clangs, the two men leaped backward, but the staff was too fast and still struck them. Fortunately, they held their innate short swords to their chests, blocking the blows.

However, the immense force from the stick caused their lungs and internal organs to tremble, and they were about to vomit blood, but fortunately they managed to swallow it down.

You absolutely must not vomit blood now; if you do, you'll lose your breath.

The stick struck the two men's innate short swords, then bounced off and spun, flying a distance forward before crashing into the ground with a clang.

With a loud "clang!", the stick made a loud noise, making Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing realize that the stick was definitely not as heavy as it looked.

"Gulp!" They swallowed again, not turning back to look at the dark figure in the distance, but instead exchanging glances.

In the brief moment between the impact of the sticks and the two men dodging, the other beasts had already caught up, forming a pincer movement again to fill the gap and surround them. Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, comprehending each other's meaning without needing to speak.

After nodding, the two quickly flashed forward. Qian Ying rushed towards the stick, while Zhou Zixing brandished his innate short sword and continued to attack the beast that was about to close in.

To Qian Ying's surprise, when his hand touched the white stick, he was immediately struck by an electric shock that made his whole body tremble.

"Ah! There's electricity!" Qian Ying quickly let go. His strength was definitely enough to resist the attraction of electricity, so it didn't take much effort.

At the same time, he also felt that the stick was much heavier than he expected. He had just grabbed the stick but couldn't lift it. When he tried to use force, he was struck by an electric current and couldn't lift it.

Originally, Qian Ying saw the dark figure throw out the stick he had been holding to block his and Zhou Zixing's escape.

So he figured that since the stick was so heavy, he could use it to attack the beast. Especially considering its weight, he was confident he could injure it.

The scales of the mythical beast have extremely high defense, but it will definitely be seriously injured by a blunt weapon.

That's why he and Zhou Zixing moved in a flash, one heading towards the stick and the other towards the closing beasts, with a clear division of labor, all for the purpose of breaking through.

However, to his surprise, the weight of the stick far exceeded his expectations, and it was also electrified, making it unsuitable for human handling.

Isn't that dark figure afraid of the electric current from the stick? How come he can hold it without any problems?
However, just as Qian Ying failed to get a chance to grab the stick, the other beast also erupted, attacking Zhou Zixing recklessly.

Protected by scales covering its entire body, it was not afraid of attacks from the innate short sword. So it directly used its massive body to attack Zhou Zixing by ramming, slashing with its claws, and tearing with its sharp teeth and mouth.

Moreover, its thick, long tail kept swinging back and forth, occasionally giving Zhou Zixing a slap.

Such an attack, such a reckless fighting style, prevented Zhou Zixing from subduing the beast in a short period of time.

Right now, the most scarce resource is time.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Qian Ying abandoned her attempt to pick up the stick and instead ran quickly toward Zhou Zixing to help him.

We can't let this teammate down now, or neither of us might escape. Sometimes, it's necessary to let your teammate down, but there are times when we must cooperate and attack this monster together.

Just as Qian Ying ran quickly to Zhou Zixing, a long howl echoed through the valley!
It was a shadowy figure! The howling sound came from the shadowy figure standing on the back of the strange beast!
With a "boom!", the black shadow appeared like lightning, emerging from the back of the last beast and standing in the middle of the road at the very front.

Then, with a single outstretched hand, the white stick flew back into the shadowy figure's hand like a swallow returning to its nest.

With a "snap!" the stick returned to the shadowy figure's hand.

"Haha, little mouse, how did it feel just now?" The shadowy figure made a sharp, scraping sound, much like the harsh sound of hard metal scraping against glass.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zixing and Qian Ying frowned immediately. The sharp, piercing sound made them both very uncomfortable, and the blood they had just suppressed almost spurted out again due to the noise.
