Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 50: Fourth Rank Demonic Beast

"This damn beast!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but curse through gritted teeth as he looked at the majestic and extraordinary green giant wolf not far away, emitting a faint green light.

Unfortunately, cursing alone had no effect. The flames he condensed into flying knives were all easily dodged by the agile green giant wolf, with an extremely elegant posture.

Even the explosive force generated by the flying knives couldn't do anything, easily resolved by the wind spirit power surrounding the green wolf.

This green wolf was a fourth rank demonic beast at the Foundation Building stage.

Originally, Xu Mu thought that his strength should be enough to hunt down a fourth rank Foundation Building demonic beast.

But when he actually encountered it, he realized how naive he was.

In terms of speed, strength, reaction, and defense, he was completely overwhelmed by the opponent.

The green wolf casually dodged his attacks, its eyes filled with a human-like mockery.

Being able to easily kill a late stage Qi Refining cultivator's violent explosion was like a gentle breeze to it.

Xu Mu only had a cultivation level of Qi Refining sixth layer. With such fierce attacks, he could only sustain them for a while before signs of spiritual power depletion appeared.

As the frequency of his attacks decreased, the green wolf seized the opportunity to suddenly leap and, with a few flashes, approached within ten zhang of him.

Buzz!

It opened its mouth, revealing sharp white teeth, and countless green lights converged into its mouth, forming a green light ball.

"Damn it! Here it comes again!"

Xu Mu's eyebrows twitched, quickly mobilizing the limited spiritual power in his meridians to condense several fire shields in front of his body.

Swish swish!

Countless small wind blades sprayed out from the green wolf's mouth, shattering all the fire shields Xu Mu had condensed, and finally crashing into Xu Mu's protective spiritual light.

Crack!

The protective spiritual light also couldn't hold on, and Xu Mu was directly blasted away, covered in blood, as if he had been pulled out from a pool of blood.

The green wolf didn't pursue the victory but turned around and ran, because in Xu Mu's hand, a fireball that kept changing colors appeared.

It was this fireball that almost killed it back then.

And it was precisely because of this fireball that it held a deep grudge against Xu Mu and his group, constantly launching attacks against them.

"You beast, if you have the guts, don't run! Fuck!"

Xu Mu cursed, but had to quickly dissipate the fireball in his hand, lest he lose control and blow himself up first.

Then he endured the pain and quickly got up to leave.

Not long after, Xu Mu arrived at a cave.

The people hiding in the cave ran out to check when they heard the commotion.

"Master! Are you okay?"

Ye Yingying, with an obvious bulge in her abdomen, hurriedly went forward to support Xu Mu, her eyes filled with pain.

Yes, Ye Yingying was pregnant, and it had been over two months.

It was probably caused by an accident that happened before they set off, resulting in casualties.

"Fellow Daoist Xu!"

The others also hurried forward to check.

At this moment, almost everyone in the team was injured except for Ye Yingying and the two children.

The injuries were not caused by the green wolf, but by other demonic beasts that attacked when Xu Mu was fighting the green wolf. Fortunately, there were no major casualties.

"I'm fine, just some superficial wounds!"

Xu Mu forced a smile on his face.

Indeed, most of the injuries were superficial, but some were quite deep.

But saying this was useless, as the others couldn't help him.

Little Ling'er, seeing his appearance, cried loudly and hid in Ye Yingying's arms.

Xu Mu could only respond with a bitter smile.

"Trouble Fellow Daoist Lan to take care of them. I need to cultivate and heal!"

Xu Mu entered the cave and said.

"Okay!"

Lan Shijin nodded and immediately summoned her flying sword, activating all the defensive formations at the entrance of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Ouyang, please help me roast the meat. Just cook it through!"

Xu Mu took out a third rank demonic beast he had hunted not long ago and handed it to Ouyang Ying.

Zhang Shouren also hurriedly helped with his grandson Zhang Yu.

Leng Yueqing habitually stepped forward to clean his wounds and apply external hemostatic medicine.

The others didn't think there was anything wrong.

Ye Yingying could only comfort the crying little Ling'er on the side.

Her body was not suitable for contact with these medicines.

After Xu Mu took the healing pill, he sat on the ground and began to cultivate.

The healing pill was obtained from Luo Xu's body, a third rank pill with good effects. The externally applied blood-nourishing pill was also a third rank pill obtained from Luo Xu.

If it weren't for these two pills, he might not have been able to hold on these past few days.

After taking the pills, they immediately dissolved, forming a gentle medicinal power that permeated his limbs and body, continuously healing the injuries inside his body.

Once his body fully absorbed the medicinal power, Xu Mu took out two Qi-replenishing pills and continued to cultivate to recover.

When his spiritual power was completely restored, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the wounds on his body had already been cleaned and treated by Leng Yue Ning, and the third-grade pill had effectively caused the wounds to scab over.

Leng Yue Ning took out two second-grade healing talismans, activated them, and the talismans automatically ignited, turning into two white lights that enveloped Xu Mu.

Xu Mu only felt warmth all over his body.

The wounds that had been treated with medicine quickly healed under the power of the talismans, and the scabs soon fell off, returning his skin to its original appearance.

However, this was only superficial recovery; the lost blood could not be replenished.

"Thank you, Miss Yue Ning!"

Xu Mu still addressed her by her original title.

Leng Yue Ning nodded lightly and left.

On the other side, the meat had already been roasted.

Xu Mu tore off a piece with his bare hands and ate it hungrily.

He accessed the system to allocate points.

[Thunder Sword Art +1]!

[Thunder Sword Art +1]!

...

[Thunder Sword Art Grandmaster; 1591/1600]!

"Wait until tomorrow when I break through, and see how I kill you, you beast!"

The green wolf on the other side was enduring, wanting to wear Xu Mu down, but Xu Mu was also enduring, waiting to elevate his Thunder Sword Art to the level of a grandmaster and completely deal with the opponent.

For this reason, he had not yet revealed his other trump card.

He wanted to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent at a critical moment.

Night fell quickly, and after the formation was activated, everyone took refuge deep inside the cave to rest. Xu Mu leaned against the stone wall, guarding the entrance with the Golden Flame Sword by his side.

The green wolf was too powerful, so to ensure nothing went wrong, only he could guard it with peace of mind.

"Chirp chirp!"

Ouyang Ying's Flame Mouse jumped over and hid in Xu Mu's arms.

Xu Mu fed it a nut.

The Flame Mouse had strong perception and could serve as a reminder. Ouyang Ying had lent it to him temporarily.

The exhaustion from the daytime battle made Xu Mu fall asleep unintentionally.

He didn't know how long had passed when the Flame Mouse in his arms suddenly made a sound, startling Xu Mu awake. He immediately gripped the Golden Flame Sword in his right hand.

Looking out through the formation, the moonlight was like water, and a tall green wolf stood at the entrance with its back to the moonlight.

When the green wolf saw Xu Mu wake up, it glanced at him and disappeared into the darkness with a leap.

"It's afraid I'll run away!" Xu Mu wondered, "But why didn't it attack today?"

In the past two days, the green wolf would directly attack the formation.

To prevent the formation from being destroyed, Xu Mu had to go out and fight it. After all, their equipment for setting up the formation was limited, and if it were all destroyed, they wouldn't be able to rest at night.

The abnormal behavior of the green wolf made Xu Mu vaguely uneasy.

He hated this feeling.

"Blue Fellow Daoist!"

Xu Mu woke up Lan Shi Jin.

Under the threat of the fourth-grade demonic beast, Lan Shi Jin was sleeping lightly and woke up as soon as Xu Mu called her.

"I'm going out for a bit. Help me keep watch! If anything happens, blow up the cave. It can buy us some time!" Xu Mu handed her the talismans for self-defense.

"Okay!"

Lan Shi Jin didn't say much and obediently took them.

The others also gradually woke up.

Xu Mu didn't greet each of them individually. He turned his head and looked at his wife, who was reluctant to part with him, smiled, and walked out of the formation.

The Flame Mouse jumped down from his arms and ran back into the cave, leaping onto Ouyang Ying's shoulder.

Just as Lan Shi Jin was about to activate the formation again, Leng Yue Ning suddenly ran out and handed him a glove made of demonic beast skin.

"This is what you wanted!"

"Thank you!"

Xu Mu accepted the glove, waved to everyone, suppressed his aura, and swiftly flew in the opposite direction of the green wolf. His figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Watching his disappearing figure, Leng Yue Ning was lost in thought.

Lan Shi Jin shook her head helplessly.

It seemed they couldn't keep this daughter.
