Chapter Twenty-Three: Hunting the Green Fire Deer

Before deciding to hunt the green fire deer, Zhang Ruochen carefully calculated.

With his current cultivation, there is indeed a great disparity in strength with the Green Fire Deer. Moreover, he couldn't use the True Martial Treasure Weapon yet, because the Flash Soul Sword and the Shen Abyss Ancient Sword were both placed in the inner space of the space-time crystal.

Once used, the Temporal Crystal is exposed.

If he were to become any other first-order high-grade brute beast, Zhang Ruochen would not have any chance of winning.

However, the Green Fire Deer is different, the advantage of the Green Fire Deer is that its speed, attack power, and defense power are far inferior to other first-order high-grade brute beasts.

And Zhang Ruochen's advantage is that he has the spiritual power and rich practical combat experience comparable to that of a Heavenly Extreme Realm Great Perfection martial artist, and he can predict the attack direction of the Qinghuo Deer one step ahead and make the most flexible response.

Therefore, the terrifying speed of the green fire deer may not necessarily be able to crush Zhang Ruochen.

"Roar!"

Zhang Ruochen was like a provocation, and took the initiative to let out a loud roar at the green fire deer.

"Wow!"

The green fire deer was enraged, the flames on his body burned even brighter, turned into a cyan afterimage, and instantly rushed to Zhang Ruochen's body and slammed into it.

At the moment before the green fire deer rushed over, Zhang Ruochen kicked the ground with both legs, and with the help of elasticity, he rushed up more than seven meters high.

"The dragon is in the sky!"

The surging true qi was running rapidly in the eleven meridians, and Zhang Ruochen's body seemed to emit a low-pitched dragon groan, and the strength of the muscles and bones of his whole body was mobilized, and he slapped it suddenly.

However, the speed of the green fire deer was too fast, and Zhang Ruochen's palm did not hit it, but hit the ground.

"Wow!"

A cyan shadow flashed and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen, and the cyan antlers on the top of his head hit Zhang Ruochen's chest.

Zhang Ruochen slapped his palm again and fought hard with Qinghuo Deer.

"Bang!"

A powerful impact came from the palm of his hand, and Zhang Ruochen's right arm immediately lost consciousness.

Zhang Ruochen quickly retreated and looked towards his right arm, only to see that the palm of his right hand was burned by the flames on the Qinghuo Deer's body, and even the sleeves of his clothes were burned to ashes, revealing his wrists and arms.

True Qi runs in the meridians, and the arm, which was originally numb, gradually regains consciousness.

"Squeak!"

The green fire deer attacked again, and in an instant, it appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen.

At this moment, the Nine County Lords standing in the distance shot two thunder arrows in a row, both of which were aimed at the two eyes of the green fire deer.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The green fire deer reacted extremely quickly, and with the hard antlers on its head, it knocked two thunder arrows flying.

"Brute Beast Galloping to the Ground!"

Zhang Ruochen saw the opportunity, rushed forward, and with the help of the impact of his body, he slapped a palm again, bursting out with the power of sixteen oxen, hitting the top of the head of the green fire deer.

The green fire deer let out a mournful roar from its mouth, and a bloody slit cracked on the top of its head, and it was not lightly injured, and its reaction became sluggish.

"Poof!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lord of the Nine Counties opened his bow and shot the last thunderbolt arrow, which accurately pierced the left eye of the Blue Fire Deer.

"Bang!"

The arrows of the thunderbolt exploded, and the left head of the green fire deer was blown apart, and the eyeball turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Zhang Ruochen rolled over, arrived in front of the body of the saber-toothed red tiger, and broke a half-foot-long sharp tooth in the mouth of the saber-toothed red tiger.

The blue fire deer, which was seriously injured, also extinguished the cyan flames on its body, turned around and fled.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed one of the sharp teeth of the saber-toothed red tiger, as if carrying a short blade, and suddenly kicked on the trunk, and with the help of the elastic force of the trunk, he leaped up.

"Poof!"

The sharp tiger teeth went straight into the eyebrows of the green fire deer, piercing the head of the green fire deer.

"Bang!"

The green deer struggled twice, and finally fell to the ground, becoming dying.

Zhang Ruochen pulled out the tiger tooth and inserted it into the belly of the green fire deer, completely ending its life.

The Nine County Lord immediately rushed over, looking at the corpse of the green fire deer on the ground, still a little unbelievable of what was happening in front of him, "Ninth brother...... You slain a first-order brute beast. ”

Zhang Ruochen stared at her, stood up, bandaged the burned palm with a strip of cloth, and said, "It's not me, it's us." ”

The Nine County Lord naturally knew that he didn't help much, if it weren't for Zhang Ruochen's slap on the top of the green fire deer's head, which made the speed of the green fire deer sluggish, the thunder arrow she shot would not have been able to hit the eyes of the green fire deer.

Of course, her heart was still very happy, after all, she had participated in the hunting of that first-order high-grade brute beast, and she had succeeded.

The Lord of the Nine Counties was extremely excited, and immediately rushed towards Zhang Ruochen and hugged Zhang Ruochen.

"Ninth brother, we are simply the best combat partners, and the cooperation is too tacit!"

Her pair of soft jade arms tightly hooked Zhang Ruochen's neck, and a pair of elastic crisp peaks on her chest pressed up, almost knocking Zhang Ruochen to the ground.

Zhang Ruochen raised an arm, pressed the shoulder of the Nine Counties Lord, kept a certain distance from her, and said lightly: "We should go back!"

Seeing Zhang Ruochen's indifferent appearance, the Nine County Lord stomped his feet, frowned, and said, "I'm your sister, and I won't eat you, so I always look very disgusted?"

Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Tiger Roaring Slope, turned over and rode onto the back of the antelope horse, stared at the Nine County Lords, and said, "Let's go!"

The Nine County Lord rolled his eyes, put his hand on Zhang Ruochen's palm, fell behind Zhang Ruochen, stretched out a pair of jade arms, hugged Zhang Ruochen's waist, leaned his delicate and beautiful face on Zhang Ruochen's back, and teased: "Your Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, quickly take your beautiful sister and leave this place full of killing!"

Zhang Ruochen shook his head gently, drove the antelope horse, and immediately rushed out of the dense forest and ran in the direction of the royal martial arts.

......

Of the forty-three young warriors who participated in the hunt, twenty-six had already returned to the royal martial arts, and only seventeen had not returned.

The warriors who have not returned at this time have either accidentally died in the mouth of the brute beast, or they have not yet hunted the brute beast.

"Min'er, how was the harvest of this hunt?" asked Huo Fei Niangniang, the biological mother of the fifth prince.

With a confident smile on his face, the fifth prince said, "Back to my mother, you can rest assured, this time Wang Shan hunting, there is definitely no better than my results!"

"That's for the best. Concubine Huo nodded and smiled.

Lin Fengxian also cast an inquiring glance at Lin Xishan, and said, "Shan'er, it is your first time to participate in the hunting of Wangshan, you should have encountered a lot of difficulties, right?"

Lin Xishan shook her head, and was also very confident, and said: "Wang Shan's hunting is easier than I imagined, there is no difficulty, I am confident that in this round of assessment, I will definitely be able to enter the top ten." ”

Lin Lushan glanced in the direction of Wang Shan, and when she saw that Zhang Ruochen still hadn't come back, she was even more proud, and said secretly in her heart, "It seems that he hasn't hunted the brute beast yet." After all, he has only been cultivating martial arts for three months, and taking Heavenly Treasures can increase his strength in a short period of time, but it can't improve a person's combat experience. ”

At this moment, Concubine Lin was also nervous, staring at the direction of Wang Shan.

Subsequently, the young warriors who participated in the hunt came back one after another.

Most of the young warriors who came back at this time had no joy on their faces, and their faces were sad, and it was obvious that they had not hunted brute beasts in Wang Mountain.

"Why haven't the Nine Princes and the Nine Lords come back yet? ”

Everyone began to worry, after all, in the previous year's hunting in Wangshan, there were also young warriors who were killed by brute beasts.

The King of Yunwu County frowned slightly, and he was about to immediately send someone into Wang Mountain to find the Nine Princes and the Nine County Lords.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd, "The Nine Princes and the Nine County Lords are back!"

Concubine Lin, Lin Lushan, and the other princes and county lords all stared in the direction of Wang Mountain, only to see the nine princes and the nine county lords riding together, galloping from a distance.

Returning to the royal martial arts, Zhang Ruochen and the Lord of the Nine Counties jumped off the back of the antelope horse and walked towards the King of Yunwu County.

"Meet the king!" Zhang Ruochen said.

"Meet my father!" said the Nine Counties.

The Yunwu County Lord smiled loudly and said, "Jiu'er, why do you ride with Xi'er?"

The Lord of the Nine Counties preemptively said: "Father, my ninth brother and I were attacked by an iron-skinned bull in the king's mountain, and my mount was seriously injured, so I could only ride an antelope horse with my ninth brother. ”

King Yunwu's eyes stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Jiu'er, is that so?"

"Yes. Zhang Ruochen said.

King Yunwu nodded, stared at Zhang Ruochen's injured right arm, and said, "Jiu'er, after all, it is the first time you have participated in the hunting of Wang Mountain, the first time you have fought with brute beasts, and besides, you only opened the Shenwu Mark three months ago, even if you didn't hunt brute beasts, don't be too discouraged." ”

"I understand!"

Zhang Ruochen didn't explain, but said lightly.

The Nine County Lord's lips originally moved, but in the end he didn't say it.

The sixth prince and the fifth prince were very happy when they saw Zhang Ruochen's injury.

The corners of Lin Lushan's mouth also curled slightly, in the last round of strength assessment, Zhang Ruochen was indeed out of the limelight, but if he really wanted to fight with the brute beast, he was still too far behind!
