Chapter 153 The Arrest Operation!
In just three days, Qin Mu and his two companions arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Azure Bull Python is even stronger than the Titan Giant Ape, making it significantly more difficult to hunt.
However, Qin Mu did not go to the Spirit Hall to seek help.
Although the last hunting operation went relatively smoothly, Qin Mu always felt that something was strange during the process, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
This time, Qin Mu simply chose to have the three of them enter together.
Qin Mu's strength has also increased significantly, and at least when facing the Azure Bull Python, he is no longer helpless.
However, just to be on the safe side, Yue Guan still took two days to contact Gui Mei.
The two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Polar Stillness Domain, is extremely powerful. Even a powerful creature like the Azure Bull Python cannot move once it is controlled.
This is the perfect opportunity for Qin Mu and Ling Yuan to unleash their attacks.
After the four of them gathered together, they gradually concealed their presence and hurried towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Azure Bull Python's hiding place is not hard to find; the only suitable place to heal in the Star Dou Great Forest is the lake in the core area.
To prevent the Azure Bull Python's scouts from discovering them and causing the python to hide, Qin Mu and the other three concealed their presence to the lowest possible level.
They had been extremely cautious throughout their journey, and whenever they were discovered by a soul beast, they were able to knock it unconscious and control it immediately.
In order to prevent the smell of soul beasts' blood from spreading, they still did not kill any soul beasts indiscriminately.
After three more days of cautious travel, Qin Mu and his companions finally arrived at the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
All four of them participated in the last operation, so they were familiar with the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
No one paid attention to the beautiful scenery before them. Ling Yuan and the other two were all cautiously waiting for the Azure Bull Python to appear in the forest not far from the lake.
They were supposed to arrive at the core area in the morning, but the Azure Bull Python did not appear until evening.
"What's going on? Is the Azure Bull Python not here to recover from its injuries?"
The same question arose in the minds of Ling Yuan and the other two.
Qin Mu was the only one who believed that the Azure Bull Python would definitely recuperate here!
The reason is simple: perhaps in the eyes of others, their position has already been exposed, and if they come back, what difference would it be from walking into a trap?
The Azure Bull Python exploited human psychology by doing the opposite of what it expected.
You think this location is so obvious that I won't come.
Then I'll just stay here to recover!
Of course, the most important question is that only here does the Azure Bull Python have the ability to fully recover.
As darkness fell completely, Ling Yuan felt that today's mission could not be completed and prepared to set up camp nearby.
Just then, the once calm lake surface suddenly began to churn.
Immediately afterwards, a spirit beast with a bull's head and a snake's body slowly rose from the lake.
Qin Mu's guess was correct; the Azure Bull Python could only recover to its peak condition by recuperating in the lake.
Furthermore, due to the damage to its strength, the Azure Bull Python's perception was also greatly affected. In addition, Qin Mu and the others had come specifically for the Azure Bull Python, so they did not reveal any flaws along the way.
If the Azure Bull Python chooses to flee back and forth in the Star Dou Great Forest, it will certainly be better able to avoid the pursuit of Qin Mu and the others.
However, in that case, the injuries on the Azure Bull Python's body would never heal.
Over time, it might even affect the Azure Bull Python's cultivation level.
This is definitely not what the Azure Bull Python wanted to see.
Therefore, the Azure Bull Python not only sent out its subordinates to guard the surrounding area.
It hides itself in the lake, and if anyone dares to fight it in the water, its chances of winning are as high as 80%!
Furthermore, if it were hidden in the lake, Qin Mu and the others might, like Ling Yuan did earlier, assume it wasn't there and turn back.
Who would have thought that the once renowned strongest soul beast would now be reduced to only showing its face at night?
The blue ox python's body thrashed about in the lake, and soon most of its tail was exposed.
It was true that the sky was dark, but this darkness did not affect Qin Mu.
Looking behind the Azure Bull Python, one could see that its originally robust body was covered with blackish-purple venomous spots, and in some more severe areas, a sizable pit of flesh could be clearly seen.
The pit of flesh was also a dark purple.
Upon seeing this, Qin Mu was immediately glad that he hadn't reported it to the Spirit Hall.
He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so well hidden.
With her previous strength, she should have been able to kill the Azure Bull Python.
The reason she didn't want to kill him might also be related to himself.
Shaking his head, Qin Mu knew that now was not the time to think about anything else.
At Qin Mu's signal, the four of them still did not make any rash moves and quietly observed the Azure Bull Python.
Sure enough, after being exposed to the outside for a quarter of an hour, the Azure Bull Python finally lowered its guard.
Although he had just revealed most of his body, Qin Mu noticed in detail that the Azure Bull Python's body was not messy, but rather very strange.
It didn't look like a relaxed posture after emerging from the water at all; half of each part of its body was exposed, clearly to make it easier for it to dive back underwater.
Now that it was certain that no one was around, the Azure Bull Python revealed most of its body.
Just as the Azure Bull Python relaxed slightly, suddenly, a beam of fire shot directly towards it from the nearby bushes.
The speed was so fast and the timing so perfect that the Azure Bull Python had no chance to react at all.
As Ling Yuan made her move, Yue Guan and Gui Mei also attacked simultaneously, relentlessly assaulting the Azure Bull Python.
This round didn't take a heavy toll on the Azure Bull Python, and its injuries weren't too serious. It only needs some time to recover.
However, it takes time!
Just as the Azure Bull Python was about to retreat, Qin Mu suddenly darted out and grabbed its tail as it prepared to enter the water.
With a sudden burst of force, Qin Mu yanked the several-dozen-meter-long body of the Azure Bull Python out and slammed it heavily onto the open ground beside him.
Before the Azure Bull Python could retaliate, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had already begun to activate their two Polar Stillness Domains in perfect unison!
Throughout the entire process, the Azure Bull Python had no ability to fight back at all and was trapped by the two people's polar stillness domains.
By the time the blue ox python reacted again, Qin Mu was already in front of it.
Swinging the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, Qin Mu's three amplification soul skills lit up first, followed by the last blood-red soul ring.
Upon seeing that Qin Mu was using the soul skill of his second brother, with whom he had spent many years, the Azure Bull Python's eyes immediately became incredibly terrifying.
"Your momentum is impressive, but unfortunately, you're going to die here today!"
Titan's Hammer!
