Chapter 108. Hunting A Sacred-blood Creature
Han Sen saw that at the bottom of the cave, a black pangolin-like creature more than six feet long with its whole body covered with in crystal scales was drinking water from a pool.
"That is the creature. Its hearing is no good but it has got excellent eyesight. Even a sacred-blood beast soul weapon could hardly hurt its scales. Its biggest weakness is its soft belly," explained Index Finger unhurriedly, who was a refined young man.
"Even if its stomach is its weakness, it is on all fours and I can’t really flip it over and stab there," Han Sen said.
"Of course not. As long as there is a sign of trouble, this guy will roll itself into a ball. And then it would be like a snail hidden inside the shell and its belly would be protected. Its scales could also flip up and become circular saw blades. When it rolls, it’s like a spiked wheel and even the thickest armor would be cut open by that. And no one’s body could stand that either," Little Finger cut in.
"How is this a weakness then?" Han Sen could not help but frown.
"Certainly we cannot attack it head-on. Its strength is formidable and its speed is too high. No one could afford taking a hit from it." Fist Guy hesitated before he pointed at the pool at the bottom and said, "Our plan is that in a while, we will go out to drive it away and you can take the opportunity to hide under water in the pool. When it goes to drink again, you make the attack from below the water at its soft chin. It would be great if you could leave the weapon in its chin so that it could no longer curl up. At that time we could kill it however we like."
"Fist Guy, no wonder you are willing to pay me a mutant mount. I’d be risking my life." Han Sen said to Fist Guy.
"If it is easy, we will not pay such a big price. Can you do it or not?" Little Finger whispered.
Everyone awaited Han Sen’s decision, looking at him.
