Chapter 311 - Trunk-Faced Cow
After hearing the name Lin Mu saw that it matched the beast’s description quite accurately. Though the sounds it was making were nothing like a cow and were rather strange. He looked at the beast from behind the trees, and the beast also seemed to be trying to find him.
It sniffed the air, but to Lin Mu’s advantage, the wind was blowing towards him, which prevented the beast from detecting him fast enough. Though seeing that the beast had not used its spirit sense till now and was only using its nose, relieved Lin Mu a bit.
This meant that the beast had only recently reached the Core condensation realm and had yet to refine its spirit sense. This gave a big advantage to Lin Mu as a being with or without spirit sense had completely different danger levels.
Lin Mu had been using his spirit sense as a big tool to help in his battles and knew that he would probably lose his advantage if his opponent knew how to use it too.
Seeing that the beast had still not reacted, Lin Mu circled around a bit in order to get closer to the beast. He wanted to ambush it like he did with most of the other beasts and needed to be in the range of about ten meters in order to use the second skill blink.
Just as Lin Mu got into a proper position, the direction of the wind started blowing towards the beast and it smelled him.
"Hrnnnggg" The beast grunted before turning towards Lin Mu’s location.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
The spirit qi fluctuation coming from the beast intensified and the yellow glow surrounding its head vanished. Now it was prodding the ground with its front hooves and shaking its head. It then raised its head to the sky and let out a loud sound.
"MOOOOOOO"
"I thought it couldn’t do that?" Lin Mu muttered to himself as he retreated a few meters away.
He then saw a red glow surround its body and concentrate on its head. The wounds that were on its back were also healed, along with the one that was recently made on its shoulder.
Then two large horns sprouted on its head along with two tusks from its mouth. Its trunk also elongated, and a metallic sheen now covered its skin. The same metallic sheen covered its horns and tusks, turning them impeccably sharp.
Looking at the sharp horns and tusks, Lin Mu knew that he would be heavily injured if he allowed the beast to get any closer to him. Lin Mu withdrew a few throwing daggers and hurled them at the beast’s eyes while stepping around the beast.
He charged with the lance again, but this time it was blocked by the metallic sheen that was covering the beast’s skin. The beast reacted quickly and slapped the lance with its tusks, making Lin Mu let go of them, in order to not be pushed along with it.
"You’ll have to use your short sword, normal weapons will not be able to cut through its defenses," Xukong advised.
Lin Mu nodded his head and withdrew a pair of slim swords. He slashed them at the beast incessantly while running around the beast. He had already amplified his legs with spirit qi which increases his speed for a short while.
With the endless blows, the beast could only try to block them or dodge them. It was evident that the beast was only able to last this long because it had used its bloodline awakening and was using the bloodline skill that it got.
