Lin Mu paid attention to the beasts, trying to observe them and identify what they were.


    Some looked like a mix of wolves and cows, having the upper body of wolf and the legs of a cow. Some looked like arge rooster that had the ws of an eagle as well as a two pronged beak that looked ferocious. Then there was thergest beast among them that had stumpy legs, but a fat and bulky body. Its head was long and looked like that of a hippopotamus, but had the scales of a crocodile.


    It was this beast that was making the most sound, as well as breaking all the bamboos. It was like a tank bulldozing through the buildings without stopping.


    Lin Mu identified therge beast to be a Basalt Scaled Hippopotamus, whereas the other beasts were a group of Iron Hoof Wolves and Fork Beaked Immortal Jungle Fowl. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    This was his first time seeing all these beasts in person, but he had certainly read about them.


    The Basalt Scaled Hippopotamus was certainly the most dangerous out of all of them. It was at the Third Tribtion Realm of the Immortal realm, but had defenses that even a fifth Tribtion Stage Immortal realm cutlery might find hard to break. Not to mention, it was almost seven meters tall and ten meters long, making its momentum great.


    If it crashed into a human, it could easily turn them into a mush.


    The Iron Hoof Wolves were much smaller, being two meters tall, and three meters long, but they were no less dangerous when they were in arge group like this. They were excellent hunters and used their sharp teeth to rip into their prey. And even though they had hooves instead of ws like other wolves, it didn''t mean they were any less lethal.


    The very same hooves could crush bones and metal alike. The Iron Hoof Wolves actually referred to pulverize their prey''s bones and then eat them whole, treating the bones as a crunchy treat in the meat.


    Then there were the Fork Beaked Immortal Jungle Fowl. It was one of the bird beasts that couldn''t fly, but was a perfect fit for the Evergreen Pirs Forest. It was just a meter in size, but could perch on the branches of the Evergreen Pir Bamboo.


    It would hide above and spear any unsuspecting prey with its two pronged beak.


    The Fork Beaked Immortal Jungle Fowl were high in number in the Evergreen Pirs Forest and that was also why Lin Mu was surprised at not seeing any when entering. They were considered the mostmon beast in the forest and could be found everywhere.


    They also had a varying cultivation base, ranging from below the immortal realm, all the way to the Fifth Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm.


    One of the records that Lin Mu had read in the Serene ss Valley even mentioned a Fork Beaked Immortal Jungle Fowl King, that had evolved further and enhanced its bloodline. It was said to be at the Fifth Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm too, but was significantly stronger than its other kin at the same cultivation base.


    Seeing all these beastsing towards them, Lin Mu knew they would have to be fierce.


    ''Use your speed to outmaneuver them and attack them from the back Little Shrubby. I''ll handle those at the front and halt their charge.'' Lin Mu nned his offense with Little Shrubby.


    ''Alright, I''ll do that.'' Little Shrubby agreed.


    The beasts continued to charge, and when they were about a kilometer from them, Lin Mu shouted. "Now!"


    ~SHING~


    Lin Mu shed out with Afternoon Pine, sending a sword light arc that cut all the Evergreen Pir Bamboos in its path.


    ~ROAR~


    Little Shrubby roared as he disappeared in a red blur and appeared behind the iing beasts.


    ~SLASH~


    ~SPLAT~


    ~HISS~


    His searing hot ws tore through the flesh of the beasts like it was cotton and burned them as well. Those that were weaker directly burst into mes, while the stronger ones had to suffer scorching heat that prated in their bodies.


    The charging beasts had no idea that the ones behind them had already started to turn into corpses. In their eyes, there was only Lin Mu who was their prey.


    ~HUMM~


    Lin Mu held Afternoon Pine in front of him and infused Sword Intent in it, making the sword tremble with excitement.


    Then he pulled his hand back and suddenly stabbed straight!


    ~SHAHA~


    A streak of yellow sword light shot toward thergest target in the center, which was none other than the Basalt Scaled Hippopotamus.


    ~CRACK~


    ~KACHA~


    It hit the beast right in the middle of its head, breaking through its scales and entering its body!


    ~KUHAAAAAAA~


    The Basalt Scaled Hippopotamus cried in pain, but did not die.


    Even if its head had been pierced, it wasn''t actually injured that bad.


    ''No wonder they said they are hard to kill.'' Lin Mu thought to himself.


    His immortal sense scanned the beast and discovered that the reason why it hadn''t died even with its head pierced was the fact that its brain was safe. The brain of the Basalt Scaled Hippopotamus was located lower in its thick skull and was also rather smallpared to its size, making it easy to miss.


    It was also off center from the middle of its head, making it easy to miss from the top too.


    Still, Lin Mu had aplished his goal of making the beast halt. With itsrge size, the other beast beside and behind it were also forced to halt, with some of them crashing into itsrge body.


    "Easy pickings," Lin Mu smiled and appeared next to the beasts, swinging Afternoon Pine.


    ~SHING~SHING~SHING~


    The Sword sh caused yellow metal pine trees to sprout from the ground, which pierced through the beasts and cut their flesh with the sharp sword intent.


    Little Shrubby continued to wreak havoc from the back, and had killed half of the beasts in less than a minute.
