A Peak Second Tier Demon Beast was equivalent to a human cultivator at the Foundation Establishment peak. With its formidable body, it could advance to attack or retreat to defend within the Coldwater Pool.
With the three of them working together, they could certainly overpower the Netherworld Spirit Snake. Defeating or even killing it would be no problem in the end. But with such a powerful body, the Demon Beast could not be killed swiftly, and there was no telling how long the process would take.
Demon Beasts had bodies as tough as magical artifacts or treasures, along with abundant, tenacious vitality. Strikes from magical artifacts were not as lethal to them as they were to humans. Things could easily turn into a drawn-out battle.
And they must not forget that they were in the Golden Star Branch Range, where Demon Beasts roamed everywhere. If the fight dragged on, other beasts might be alerted, and a Golden Core Demon Beast might even happen to "pass by."
"Rest assured, fellow Daoists. I made ample preparations for this trip long ago."
"Snake-type Demon Beasts favor mice, frogs, insects, and similar beasts as food. The Netherworld Spirit Snake is no exception. I have already prepared the bait."
"When the time comes, we can lure the Netherworld Spirit Snake out of the Coldwater Pool, then deal with the brute at our leisure."
Old Daoist Pine explained.
Clearly, he had made considerable preparations for this venture, even taking the Netherworld Spirit Snake's habits into account.
"So you had already considered everything, Fellow Daoist Pine. I was worrying needlessly."
"But four hundred and eighty li is still too deep into the range. Second-tier Demon Beasts are everywhere there, and third-tier Demon Beasts could pass by at any moment."
Hearing this, Liu Yu slowly nodded before speaking.
