Zhang Er Gou and the others looked down the mountain in astonishment.
They saw that the Golden Core stage wild oxen were rushing up the mountain as if their lives depended on it.
It was as if something on the mountain was attracting them.
"Run!"
Zhang Er Gou shouted loudly and quickly led the way towards a higher peak.
Lin Yi Chen and the others reacted and quickly followed.
"Damn it, wait for me."
Xiao Qing Yu, who reacted last, shouted loudly.
But no one could afford to wait for him at this moment.
They had already fled up the mountain, their figures so fast that only their backs could be seen.
Xiao Qing Yu, carrying two large iron hammers, rushed frantically up the mountain. Su Dan Novel Network
"Moo~" (Little ones, follow.)
A blue ox, five to six zhang long, roared loudly as it led the charge.
The herd of wild oxen then charged up the mountain with even greater ferocity.
"Moo~ Moo~" (Boss, we'll follow you.)
The herd of wild oxen responded with loud bellows as they charged, and the sounds of their roars echoed through the valley and up the mountain.
"Moo~ Moo~ Moo~ Moo~~" (The person running at the very front and the person behind them stole our milk.)
As Zhang Er Gou and the others ran, they could hear the rhythmic bellows of the ox herd.
"Are these wild oxen talking about us?"
Zhang Er Gou looked back at the herd and said to Li Yao beside him.
"Er Gou, what are you joking about? These wild oxen just let out a few roars, and you really think they have their own unique way of communicating?"
Li Yao scoffed, firmly disbelieving that the herd of wild oxen was communicating.
"Don't you remember the talking demonic beast?"
Lin Yi Chen said abruptly.
"No way, are the demonic beasts here this intelligent?"
Li Yao's expression turned ugly.
"Wait for me..." As they were running frantically, they heard Xiao Qing Yu's cry for help.
However, they couldn't afford to look back now, all of them running with all their might up the mountain.
Initially, Zhang Er Gou and the others thought the herd would only run in the valley floor.
But they never expected that these wild oxen could climb mountains as easily as running on flat ground.
Clearly, it wasn't their first time.
"Qing Yu, run faster."
While running, Zhang Er Gou glanced back slightly and saw the largest blue ox in the herd about to catch up to Xiao Qing Yu.
Its sharp horns were aimed directly at Xiao Qing Yu.
"Ah, damn it!"
Xiao Qing Yu felt the wind whistling behind him. He looked back and his face turned pale with fright.
The speed of these wild oxen far exceeded their imagination.
They climbed the mountains as if it were as easy as drinking water or eating grass.
Seeing that Xiao Qing Yu was about to be gored by a wild ox,
He hurriedly turned around and smashed his large hammers towards the blue ox.
"Moo~" The blue ox let out a roar, and Xiao Qing Yu clearly saw a hint of disdain in its eyes.
Xiao Qing Yu swung his giant hammers at the blue ox, but the blue ox didn't dodge at all, its horns heading straight for the hammers.
Bang, clang.
A metallic collision sound rang out, and sparks flew.
The blue ox stood unharmed in front of Xiao Qing Yu, its horns intact.
Xiao Qing Yu, however, was sent staggering back more than ten steps before he managed to stop.
"Holy crap, no way, this strong?"
Zhang Er Gou and the others, who had stopped, swallowed hard.
The blue ox's attack power and defense were beyond everyone's imagination.
Xiao Qing Yu had just broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Even a hasty strike made in panic was not something ordinary demonic beasts could handle.
Yet, the blue ox not only emerged unscathed but also knocked Xiao Qing Yu back.
Xiao Qing Yu's face was filled with terror.
However, this only fueled his fighting spirit.
After regaining his balance, he raised his two large hammers and swung them fiercely at the blue ox again.
"Luo Tian Drum Hammers."
Xiao Qing Yu shouted, raising his twin hammers high.
A gust of wind shot towards the blue ox.
The twin hammers transformed into two even larger hammers and smashed down on the blue ox.
The blue ox's expression became much more serious upon seeing the hammer shadows.
This pair of giant hammers felt much more dangerous to it than the last.
The blue ox retreated more than ten steps and then fiercely charged towards the hammer shadows.
Boom!
A deafening roar followed, and smoke billowed up,
Enveloping the blue ox and Xiao Qing Yu at the center of the battle.
Zhang Er Gou and Lin Yi Chen could no longer see what was happening on the field.
The herd of wild oxen also stopped their assault, standing behind the blue ox as if cheering it on.
"Moo~" (Boss is mighty.)
The sound of ox bellows echoed through the valley.
Everything that had just happened occurred in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Er Gou and the others were too late to intervene.
They could only watch helplessly as Xiao Qing Yu and the blue ox dueled.
As the smoke cleared, the figures of Xiao Qing Yu and the blue ox became visible.
Xiao Qing Yu was leaning on his twin hammers, panting heavily. It was clear that the last blow had taken a significant toll on him.
The blue ox, however, had also stopped attacking and was staring blankly at Xiao Qing Yu opposite him.
"Qing Yu, here."
Zhang Er Gou quickly took out a jade bottle and threw it to Xiao Qing Yu.
Xiao Qing Yu caught it and saw that it was a pill to replenish spiritual energy. He quickly swallowed it, and the deficiency of spiritual energy in his body was relieved.
However, before he could even feel happy, he saw the blue ox begin to retreat again.
"Damn it, again?"
Xiao Qing Yu's face turned pale. He no longer cared about anything else and quickly circulated his cultivation technique, channeling spiritual energy into his twin hammers.
Boom!
Another deafening roar.
Xiao Qing Yu's hammers and the blue ox's horns collided fiercely.
The surrounding air seemed to pause with the impact.
Boom!
Another deafening roar, and a figure flew high into the air, sent hurtling backward out of the smoke.
Boom!
Xiao Qing Yu's body slammed heavily into the ground with a loud thud.
"Qing Yu," Lin Yue Ru and the others cried out in panic.
However, the blue ox emerged from the smoke and was about to charge towards Xiao Qing Yu.
If he were to be hit again, Xiao Qing Yu would be severely injured, if not killed.
Zhang Er Gou quickly flashed between Xiao Qing Yu and the blue ox, raising his iron spear high.
The blue ox was also startled by the sudden appearance of a figure.
This person gave it a much more dangerous feeling than the one before.
"Moo~" (Little ones, watch your boss unleash his might.)
"Moo~ Moo~ Moo~" (Boss is mighty, boss is awesome, boss, go get him.)
A series of ox bellows erupted. The blue ox glanced at Zhang Er Gou in front of it, its body tensing, and its hooves pawed at the dust on the ground.
Then, it retreated more than ten steps.
And then it charged fiercely towards Zhang Er Gou.
Zhang Er Gou's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless. He raised his iron spear high.
Meeting the charging ox's head, he brought it down fiercely.
Zhang Er Gou's Ghost Spear Tian Wen weighed over a thousand catties. Even a direct impact would be unpleasant.
Moreover, Zhang Er Gou had cultivated both body and technique, and his strength was surprisingly immense.
Just as the blue ox was about to gore Zhang Er Gou,
Zhang Er Gou's iron spear also swung down fiercely.
Bang... clang...
With two consecutive loud noises, the iron spear in Zhang Er Gou's hand vibrated violently.
The blue ox was not spared either. Zhang Er Gou's strike forced it to take a step back.
