Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Serpent-tailed Lion

The Iron Armor Beast and the Black-striped Tiger flanked the Monk, blocking his path. Under the gazes of the two Tier Three Demon Beasts, the Monk quickly came to his senses. ’I can’t fight Lin Yun. I’ll definitely be the one to lose out if I do.’

Forcing a hideous, skin-deep smile, he looked at Lin Yun. Though his heart was bleeding, the Monk said, "Young Master Lin, I am not one to repay kindness with ingratitude. Consider this Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass a gift to you."

Hearing this, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "Really? You’re not being forced?"

"N... No. Not at all. I mean what I say."

In his heart, the Monk was cursing Lin Yun endlessly. ’This guy is an even bigger scoundrel than I am! It’s broad daylight robbery, yet he insists on making you say it’s a gift.’

"Haha, good! In that case, I’ll reluctantly accept it." Lin Yun laughed heartily and started walking forward.

Trailing behind Lin Yun, the Monk nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood. ’I’ve been brilliant my whole life, yet I’ve been played by Lin Yun from start to finish.’

Ever since Mysterious City, the Monk and Daoist had never gotten a single advantage over Lin Yun. Instead, they were constantly tricked by him, much to their misery.

As they ventured deeper, the Monk and Daoist harvested a lot of Spirit Grass along the way. But, without exception, anything that was Earth Level Five-Stars or higher was taken by Lin Yun.

Lin Yun’s methods were direct. If the two refused to hand them over, the Black-striped Tiger and the Iron Armor Beast would make a move. Under the pressure of absolute strength, the Monk and Daoist were powerless to fight back, forced to watch helplessly as Lin Yun snatched away the Spirit Grass they had found.

The group, having reaped a bountiful harvest, continued deeper into the Mysterious Forest. However, on the second day, Lin Yun and his party ran into big trouble.

A Serpent-tailed Lion, a Tier Three Dominator Level Demon Beast. Its strength was comparable to an expert at the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. Among Tier Three Demon Beasts, it was a well-deserved overlord.

It stood five meters tall, its body identical to a lion’s, but its tail ended in a snake’s head. If bitten by its serpent tail, even a Primordial Ocean Realm expert would perish from the venom.

Upon encountering the Serpent-tailed Lion, Little Ape tried to suppress it with its bloodline. However, the Serpent-tailed Lion’s strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Three Demon Beast, and Little Ape couldn’t completely suppress it.

Since Little Ape couldn’t fully suppress it, the only option was to kill it. Besides, the Serpent-tailed Lion was a Tier Three Dominator Beast; its Essence Blood was sure to be even purer.

Lin Yun, the Monk, the Daoist, the Black-striped Tiger, the Iron Armor Beast, and Little Ape surrounded the Serpent-tailed Lion. At Lin Yun’s command, the group attacked simultaneously.

Six attacks flew toward the Serpent-tailed Lion from six different directions. However, facing their assault, the Serpent-tailed Lion whipped its serpent tail like a long whip, instantly neutralizing their attacks.

With the exception of the Black-striped Tiger and the Iron Armor Beast, Lin Yun and the others were all sent flying by a heavy blow from the tail.

The power of a Tier Three Dominator Level Demon Beast was indeed immense. From just a single strike, Lin Yun coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

’So fast, and so powerful,’ Lin Yun thought, trying to come up with a plan.

’Right now, our side’s only advantage is Little Ape’s bloodline suppression. Although it can’t completely hold down the Serpent-tailed Lion, it can at least interfere with it and prevent it from using its full strength.’

"Little Ape, suppress it as much as you can! Black-striped Tiger, Iron Armor Beast, Monk, Daoist, you all attack from the front and draw its attention," Lin Yun commanded.

By this point, Lin Yun had completely become the group’s leader. Even the Monk and Daoist wouldn’t refute his words.

They attacked again. This time, Lin Yun and Little Ape held back. Little Ape pushed its bloodline to its limit, suppressing the Serpent-tailed Lion as much as possible.

As for Lin Yun, he waited on the sidelines for the moment the Serpent-tailed Lion revealed an opening.

A fierce battle ensued. The Black-striped Tiger and the Iron Armor Beast attacked head-on, while the Monk and Daoist launched sneak attacks relentlessly. Although the group’s coordination was excellent, they were still falling short against the Tier Three Dominator Beast.

The Serpent-tailed Lion’s methods of attack were twofold: its serpent tail and its bloody maw.

With a furious roar, the Black-striped Tiger pounced on the Serpent-tailed Lion. A full head shorter than its opponent, the tiger was immediately pinned to the ground as the Serpent-tailed Lion’s massive, bloody maw clamped down on its back.

At the same time, the Monk and Daoist seized the opportunity and attacked the Serpent-tailed Lion’s serpent tail. Seeing this, the Serpent-tailed Lion, still entangled with the Black-striped Tiger, flicked its tail and blocked their attack.

"Thunderfire Bombardment!" With the Serpent-tailed Lion now completely defenseless, Lin Yun seized the chance. He leaped into the air, positioning himself directly above the beast. Unleashing Thunderfire Bombardment, his entire body transformed into flame and lightning as he plunged toward the Serpent-tailed Lion’s neck.

The perfect Thunderfire Bombardment struck the Serpent-tailed Lion square in the neck. Instantly, blood gushed from its neck like a pillar.

Wounded by Lin Yun’s strike, the Serpent-tailed Lion let out a great roar and forcibly threw off the Black-striped Tiger and the Monk and Daoist.

Knowing one blow wasn’t enough to kill the Serpent-tailed Lion, Lin Yun instantly unleashed a second Thunderfire Bombardment. Striking the same spot twice in a row, he completely pierced through the Serpent-tailed Lion’s neck, leaving a massive, bloody hole in its throat.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! Unreconciled, furious howls echoed repeatedly. As a Tier Three Dominator Beast, the Serpent-tailed Lion had never imagined it would be killed by this group of small fries.

If not for Little Ape’s bloodline suppression preventing it from using its full strength, how could Lin Yun’s sneak attack possibly have succeeded?

The Serpent-tailed Lion’s furious roars continued for some time before it finally collapsed, filled with indignation.

After killing the Serpent-tailed Lion, Lin Yun immediately began to refine its Essence Blood. The Essence Blood of a Serpent-tailed Lion was in no way comparable to that of an ordinary Tier Three Demon Beast.

It took a quarter of an hour for Lin Yun to successfully extract the Serpent-tailed Lion’s Essence Blood. Not letting the corpse go to waste, Lin Yun stored it in his Space Ring, planning to leave it for Little Ape.

Less than a thousand meters from where they killed the Tier Three Dominator Beast, Lin Yun and his party discovered a cave entrance. At ten meters high, it was clearly the Serpent-tailed Lion’s lair.

Having entered the core of the Mysterious Forest, Lin Yun planned to cultivate here for a while. At the very least, he wanted to break through to the Mid-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

Lin Yun was very satisfied with the cave upon entering. It would serve as a perfect place for his cultivation. Moreover, there were no other Demon Beasts within a twenty-li radius. Now that the Serpent-tailed Lion was dead, this place was perfect for him.

Starting a fire in the cave, Lin Yun took out the Serpent-tailed Lion’s corpse. He took only one leg for himself and gave the rest to Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger.

Of the entire Serpent-tailed Lion, Little Ape ate two-thirds and the Black-striped Tiger ate one-third. As for Lin Yun and the Monk and Daoist, they only ate one leg.

"We’ve now entered the core of the Mysterious Forest. I plan to cultivate here for a while," Lin Yun said to the others after they had finished eating.

According to Lin Yun’s plan, in the coming days, the Monk and Daoist, as well as Little Ape, the Black-striped Tiger, and the Iron Armor Beast, would go out to search for Spirit Grass and Qing Zhu’s family’s Supreme Treasure.

Hearing this, the Monk and Daoist were thrilled. ’If Lin Yun is going into secluded cultivation, doesn’t that mean all the loot will be ours?’ Without the slightest hesitation, the Monk and Daoist joyfully agreed.
