When Chen Mo saw the Exotic Beast Leader attack, he instantly flooded his legs with True Essence and retreated to evade it. At the same time, he swung the Onimaru Sword at the incoming spikes on its forelimb, intending to sever them outright. True Essence covered the entire blade, making it exceptionally sharp.
He refused to believe that, with the reinforcement of his True Essence, he still could not cut through those sharp claws.
But what Chen Mo had not expected was that, at that moment, the Exotic Beast Leader shook its body, sending several spikes shooting directly toward him.
Fuck, he had not expected this Exotic Beast Leader to be so cunning. Only after closing in did it launch the spikes on its body at him. In such a short span of time, anyone else would have had no way to respond and could only be pierced through by those thick spikes.
Like the other Strange Beasts, the Exotic Beast Leader had spikes on its back. Those spikes were like the fur on a Strange Beast's body; whenever it attacked, they flared outward, ready to launch at any moment.
After the Strange Beast transformed a second time, the spikes on its back were now as thick as a child's arm. Each was more than a meter long, like oversized javelins. They shot toward Chen Mo, fast and precise enough to produce sonic booms.
With several clangs, Chen Mo could only reverse his grip and use Onimaru to instantly chop apart the spikes rushing at him.
The spikes on the Exotic Beast Leader were far sharper than those on other Strange Beasts. As Chen Mo cut them apart, he felt a powerful force transmitted back through the blade. It seemed these spikes were indeed much tougher than ordinary ones.
