Leveling Up My Cultivation on Stray Mountain The Cat Dreaming in the Deep Sea 2649 words 2026-04-11 16:16:55

“Ah...”
The anguished, piercing scream of the serpent demon rang out at once. The black venom it had just spewed surged forth, but due to its violent convulsions, half of it flowed back into its mouth, while the rest sprayed outward in wild, uncontrolled jets.

“Hiss...”
“Hiss...”
The black venom dripped to the earth, sizzling like cold water poured into a hot oil pan, instantly sending up a shrill noise. Grasses and stones were swiftly corroded, leaving behind gaping, pitch-black holes—a truly terrifying sight.

The red-skinned boar demon and the raven fiend, who happened to be below the serpent demon, were startled and cried out in fright, rolling and dodging in a panic.

Just as the two demons narrowly avoided the venom’s attack and scrambled to their feet, they saw Lu Fei standing beside them.

“Big brother...”
“Big brother...”
The raven and Redskin both called out joyfully.

Lu Fei nodded, his gaze fixed on the struggling serpent demon before him. For some reason, the phrase “Three heroes against Lü Bu” flashed through his mind, but now, it was the three brothers fighting a serpent demon in reality.

At that moment, the serpent demon, after writhing in pain for a while, was not dead. Instead, it reached toward its mouth, attempting to pull out the arrow lodged there.

“Big brother...”
Redskin cried out at once.

Lu Fei saw this and would not let the serpent demon succeed. He raised his short bow, drew an arrow from his waist, notched it, and shot.

The arrow struck the serpent demon’s body, glancing off its glossy scales with a faint click, then fell straight to the ground.

Lu Fei knew well the crude quality of these bows and arrows—the arrows lacked even proper heads, merely sharpened wood at the tip, primitive and weak.

He tossed the bow aside, snatched the long spear from the raven fiend’s hands, and rushed forward. As the serpent demon was about to pull the arrow from its mouth, Lu Fei ignored the threat of its tail, leaped, and drove the spear into its neck.

At the same time, the serpent demon’s thick tail slammed hard into Lu Fei, sending him tumbling.

Lu Fei, mouth full of dirt, scrambled to his feet.

Just then, a massive figure charged at him and crashed into his body. He heard the raven fiend cry out in alarm; before he knew it, a powerful force struck him, spinning his world upside down as he was flung through the air.

“Big brother!”
“Big brother!!”
The raven fiend and Redskin watched Lu Fei being knocked away, their eyes reddening with fury. They ignored Lu Fei’s earlier warnings—even in the face of the massive Azure Bull, nearly three and a half meters long—they immediately reverted to their true forms.

A wild boar, two and a half meters long, burly and ferocious, with sharp tusks curling outward.

A raven, wings spanning over two meters, pitch black, with a sharp beak and claws like hooks.

The two demons, once transformed, charged straight at the Azure Bull, whose size and strength dwarfed them.

Redskin lowered his sharp tusks and charged at the Azure Bull’s belly.
The raven fiend beat its wings, flying at the bull’s head.

The Azure Bull noticed these two little demons, sneering, “Two little brats from Wandering Mountain—watch as I take your heads to earn my merit.”

With that, the bull lowered its head to meet the boar’s charge.

“Bang...”
A heavy, forceful thud.

Redskin’s sharp tusks collided with the bull’s massive horns, snapping one tusk instantly. Redskin staggered, nearly rolling over.

Immediately after, the boar’s body was pushed back, head-to-head, by the even larger and more robust Azure Bull. The ground was quickly plowed with deep furrows.

At that moment, the raven fiend swooped down, taking advantage of the bull’s struggle with Redskin. Its hooked black claws lashed out fiercely toward the bull’s eye.

The bull, engrossed in shoving the smaller boar, had forgotten the raven circling overhead. Suddenly, darkness descended as searing pain stabbed at its eye. The Azure Bull shook its massive horns desperately to defend itself.

The loss of strength allowed Redskin, who had been straining against the bull, to finally steady his footing.

Then, possessing the stubborn resilience of a bull, Redskin gathered his strength, braced his broken tusk, and charged at the suffering, horn-shaking Azure Bull’s belly.

“Hiss...”
Redskin’s powerful thrust drove his tusk deep into the bull’s tough hide, and the tremendous impact and pain elicited a wretched cry: “Moo...”

The Azure Bull staggered, wanting to turn and attack the boar at its belly, but the raven’s relentless harassment overhead kept the now half-blind bull on edge, unable to relax his vigilance.

He could only turn in circles, trying to drive off Redskin.

For Redskin, who had dared to face the bull head-on, this was too good a chance to pass up. He kept attacking the bull’s most vulnerable parts—belly, rump, and testicles.

The Azure Bull’s anguished “mooing” rang out again and again.

Realizing the danger, the bull was ready to flee. But with the raven tormenting him from above and Redskin clinging behind, he had no way to escape.

Just as he managed to drive off the raven with his horns and kick Redskin away with his hind legs yet again—

A white figure sprang up swiftly, biting the bull’s neck.

“Moo...”
Pain seared through his neck, and when he saw a giant white wolf demon clamped onto him, the Azure Bull finally panicked.

He shook his head violently, his pride and sharp horns flailing, but they could not harm the white wolf locked onto his neck.

He kicked frantically with his hind legs, but the powerful limbs that had just kicked Redskin aside now failed him—he could not shake off the wolf clinging to his neck.

“Moo...”
“Moo...”
He called desperately for his friends, his stance wavering.

At that moment, the raven fiend seized the opportunity and dove from the sky, its hooked claws striking at the bull’s remaining eye.

“Moo...”
A piercing pain stabbed through the bull’s eye socket, plunging him into utter darkness and terror.

Meanwhile, Redskin targeted the bull’s most vulnerable parts—his two large testicles—and launched a surprise attack from behind.

With the force of Redskin’s charge and his sharp tusks—

In a single blow, the bull’s testicles were shattered, fluids spraying everywhere.

The bull cried out in agony again.

Yet, even under this triple assault, the Azure Bull still swayed but would not fall.

Redskin, seeing this, charged once more—this time striking the bull’s foreleg.

The sound of bone cracking echoed.

Still, the Azure Bull staggered but remained upright.

At that moment—

Lu Fei, who was still locked onto the bull’s neck, pushed off with his feet and flipped onto the bull’s back.

The next second—

“Bang...”
The massive Azure Bull, nearly three and a half meters long, finally crashed heavily to the ground.
