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.

Lin Mu did not panic and immediately used the second skill blink, appearing to the side of the beast with his short sword ready in his hands. He amplified it with his strength and slashed at the beast's neck. But to his surprise, the beast was quite agile despite its size.

It dodged the slash by a hair's breadth and grunted again. This time Lin Mu could feel the waves of spirit qi rolling off its body. It was doing something, and Lin Mu had an inkling of what it was. A yellow glow appeared on its head as it started charging towards Lin Mu.

"It's using a spirit qi skill, be careful of its attack. This skill should be a charge skill which allows it to form a tough layer of spirit qi around its head." Xukong informed.

Lin Mu nodded and blinked away to another side. The beast easily missed its target and changed its direction towards Lin Mu again. Lin Mu did not blink this time and simply let his short sword attack the beast, while he himself pulled out a lance from his ring.

This lance was the longest weapon he had in his ring and was one of the weapons he had custom made from the Hei corps. He had not used it till now as there was no proper occasion, but now it seemed to be the perfect to attack a beast like this.

While the short sword slashed at the beast's back, Lin Mu charged at the beast as well, with the lance propped straight at the beast's head. Several small cuts were opened up on the beast's back as the short sword was unable to pierce any deeper due to the natural defenses of the beast.

If it were Lin Mu himself who was holding the short sword and attacking the beast, the short sword would have been able to cut through the beast's skin easily, but when using it with his spirit sense, the power of the sword was reduced.

Still, the beast had been distracted enough that Lin Mu was able to stab with his lance. Though the beast had once again dodged and swung its head to the side. But this did not mean that it didn't get injured. Lin Mu was still able to stab the lance into the side of the beast's shoulder.

The lance went about four inches deep before it was stopped by the bones of the beast.

"HRNNNGGG" A pain filled grunt came from the beast before its eyes turned red.

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.
