Chapter 1022 - 535: Perilous Chimu Peak

In the midst of the swirling black fog, a beam of light flared up in Lan Yao’s hand, quickly spreading in all directions.

Seeing the light disappear, Er Gou asked nervously, "Lan Yao, the light is gone, will the Elf Clan appear here?"

"Don’t worry, as long as there are elves here, they will surely respond to my summons."

"When will they come?"

"Well... I’m not sure I can guarantee..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt puzzled.

At that moment, Hei You suddenly attacked from their side.

The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and everyone could clearly see the visage of the Exotic Beast.

The Exotic Beast was as large as a wild boar, but not as robust, with two sharp horns on its head curving upward, faintly glimmering with a chilly light, clearly formidable.

Several Exotic Beasts charged towards them, Gu Sheng quickly blocked the front, summoned the small tripod with a hand gesture and used Divine Power to shield everyone in the center.

As everyone raised their swords, fierce roars echoed from outside the small tripod, as the Exotic Beasts suddenly lined up, roaring as they launched an attack with their sharp horns.

The power of these Exotic Beasts was immense, and the horns seemed to be made of iron; with several Exotic Beasts attacking simultaneously, the Divine Power on the small tripod visibly developed cracks.

"Brother Sheng, what do we do now?!"

"Kill them."

As Gu Sheng finished speaking, the Exotic Beast pried open the crack with its horn, roaring as it opened a wide mouth, revealing two fangs, eager to devour human bones.

Gu Sheng’s expression changed, he raised his wrist and took out the Fire Spirit Dagger, and hurled it at the Exotic Beast with great force.

Sensing Gu Sheng’s attack, the Exotic Beast spun around, daringly confronting Gu Sheng’s Fire Spirit Dagger with its horns.

With a boom, sparks flew everywhere, and Gu Sheng’s wrist trembled slightly, while the Exotic Beast’s horns remained unscathed, still emitting a chilly light!

Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly stepped back and shouted, "Don’t attack the horns of the Exotic Beast, they’re extremely tough, be careful of backlash, and quickly look for other weak points."

Even his Fire Spirit Dagger couldn’t cut through the horns, let alone other people’s weapons.

As the Exotic Beast roared closer, Gu Sheng closely examined it.

In just a brief moment, Gu Sheng noticed something unusual.

The Exotic Beast charged forward, but its limbs weren’t fully extended, though its four hooves were moving, they were discreetly guarding the center of its abdomen.

Realizing this, Gu Sheng’s eyes brightened.

Seeing the Exotic Beast nearing, he suddenly slid forward, his body falling to the ground, and as he passed by the Exotic Beast, he forcefully thrust the Fire Spirit Dagger upward, effortlessly piercing its abdomen!

As blood gushed out, Gu Sheng’s eyes lit up.

He fiercely pulled the Fire Spirit Dagger, the Exotic Beast’s abdomen was instantly torn open, its innards spilled everywhere, emitting a pungent, bloody odor.

With a slap on the ground, Gu Sheng swiftly stood up.

As he stood, the Exotic Beast fell heavily to the ground.

"The Exotic Beast’s weak spot is its abdomen, everyone, attack the abdomen!"

Gu Sheng shouted, and Shi Lou and the others were immediately delighted.

The roar of the Exotic Beast continued to echo, but everyone now avoided direct confrontation, instead seizing opportunities to lie down and stab their weapons into its abdomen.

The horns of the Exotic Beast were on its head, and they were terrifying weapons while standing, but lying down they were out of reach, greatly reducing the Exotic Beast’s attack power.

Having found the weak spot, they fought more courageously.

In just half an incense stick’s time, all the Exotic Beasts lay in pools of blood.

As everyone panted heavily, Gu Sheng suddenly walked forward, lifting an Exotic Beast with one hand.

After a thorough look, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Seeing this, Lan Yao also stepped forward.

"Gu Sheng, what are you doing? Are you after these carcasses? I’ve checked, there’s nothing medicinal inside the Exotic Beasts."

"I don’t want what’s inside, I want its fur and the horn on top."

Saying this, Gu Sheng waved the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand, directly cutting off the Exotic Beast’s horn, swinging it a few times in his hand, finding it surprisingly handy.

Transforming the horn into a dagger, Gu Sheng turned and swung it toward Lan Yao.

Feeling the chill of the weapon, Lan Yao was startled, and quickly backed up.

Seeing his terrified expression, Gu Sheng again smirked.

"Do you see the power of this thing now?"

Finally understanding his meaning, Lan Yao nodded.

"I know the horn is powerful, but I thought it only worked with the Exotic Beast, didn’t expect it to be effective in our hands too."

"It’s powerful, and will work in anyone’s hands, crafting this horn into a weapon will be more effective than the weapons of Shi Lou and Er Gou."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lou and Er Gou quickly took action, struggling to pry off several horns.

Gu Sheng chuckled, casually using the horn he held to pry off a few more horns, and also skinned the Exotic Beasts.

Seeing the bloody mess in Gu Sheng’s hands, Er Gou couldn’t help but grimace.

"Brother Sheng, what’s the use of this fur?"

"Once it gets cold in the mountains, we can wear it to keep warm. The Exotic Beasts can survive here because of it, surely it will be useful for us."

"Brother Sheng, we can handle this, you rest, we’ll take care of it."

The group quickly moved forward, efficiently skinning over a dozen Exotic Beasts.

Gu Sheng released Spiritual Energy from his hand, cleaned the fur and then tried wearing it.

Indeed, as soon as the fur was worn, he felt much warmer, and he also had an extra sense of Exotic Beast’s presence on him.
