Chapter 21: The Iron Bull
Zhang Ruochen rode an antelope horse, carried an iron wire bow, and rushed into Wang Mountain in a dusty manner.
Wang Mountain, originally the hunting ground of the royal family, the mountain is extremely high, distributed with waterfalls, cliffs, deep valleys, and dense forests. The brute beasts in the mountains were almost all first-order brute beasts, and there were only a few second-order brute beasts.
Forty-three young warriors, entering Wang Mountain, it was like a handful of sand thrown into the sea, and it didn't take long for everyone to disappear into the jungle.
"Wow!"
A white shadow flashed through the half-human-tall thorn grass, and in an instant, it passed through the clearing sixty meters away and rushed into the dense forest in the distance.
The speed of that white shadow was simply amazing, and if you didn't have a martial arts cultivator, you wouldn't be able to see it clearly.
Zhang Ruochen could naturally see clearly, it was a brute beast that looked like a rabbit.
The Ghost Shadow Rabbit, a first-order brute beast, is extremely fast, with extremely sharp teeth and claws, however, its defense is very weak.
The strength is equivalent to that of a martial artist in the early stage of the Yellow Pole Realm, and the speed is equivalent to that of a martial artist in the small pole of the Yellow Extreme Realm.
"It's just a ghost rabbit, it's not worth wasting a thunderbolt. Zhang Ruochen had already drawn the wire bow into a half-moon shape, and then, shaking his head, did not shoot the arrow.
The higher the level of the beast you shoot, the better your score.
Among the first-order brute beasts, the Ghost Shadow Rabbit can only be regarded as an inferior brute beast. For a first-order inferior brute beast, wasting a thunderous arrow, Zhang Ruochen felt that it was not worth it.
"Whew!"
In the other direction, a breaking wind sounded.
A thunderbolt shot like lightning, shot at the head of the ghost rabbit with unmistakable accuracy.
"Poof!"
The head of the Ghost Shadow Rabbit was pierced by a thunderbolt, and a lightning spirit crystal embedded in the arrow immediately exploded, turning into a fist-sized ball of electricity. The electric ball cracked open and turned into a stream of electricity.
The Ghost Rabbit dies instantly and falls under the tree.
The sixth prince rode the antelope horse and rushed over, without dismounting, his waist bent, his body leaned to the ground, and his five fingers grabbed the thunderbolt inserted in the top of the ghost rabbit's head, and lifted the ghost rabbit up.
"Ninth brother, the first time you participated in the hunt in Wangshan, why didn't you even dare to kill the brute beasts? As a man, you should have guts. The sixth prince carried the ghost shadow rabbit with a mocking smile on his face.
In his opinion, Zhang Ruochen may really be a genius in martial arts, but after all, it is normal to be timid and participate in hunting for the first time.
Martial arts and killing are two different things.
The establishment of the "Wang Mountain Hunting" link in the year-end assessment is not only a test of the strength of the warrior, but also a test of the courage of the warrior.
If you don't even dare to kill the brute beasts, even if the martial arts cultivation is high, what's the use?
The sixth prince, eighteen years old, cultivated to reach the peak of the small pole.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I just don't want to waste a thunder arrow!"
The sixth prince's eyes shrank, and he sneered, "If you think so, then you are very wrong. The number of brute beasts in Wang Mountain is very limited, and not everyone can hunt five brute beasts with five thunder arrows. ”
After saying this, the sixth prince rode away and disappeared into the forest.
"The area occupied by Wang Mountain is not large, and the number of brute beasts is definitely not much. Looks like I'm going to have to step up. ”
Zhang Ruochen rode an antelope horse and rushed in the other direction.
In half an hour, Zhang Ruochen encountered a total of three ghost shadow rabbits, but he did not shoot thunder arrows, but continued to look for other brute beasts.
"Moo!"
A deafening cow roar came from Zhang Ruochen's left side.
Zhang Ruochen's heart was overjoyed, and he immediately rushed over, and soon saw three huge bulls in a stream.
Brute Bull, a first-order inferior brute beast, is comparable in strength to a martial artist in the late stage of the Yellow Pole Realm, and its defensive power is comparable to the martial arts of the small pole in the Yellow Pole Realm.
The power of a bull refers to the strength of a bull.
However, someone had already arrived at the stream one step ahead of Zhang Ruochen, and at this time, she was standing opposite the three wild bulls.
Jiujun advocated that Yuxi was wearing a royal bird robe, sitting on the back of the antelope, his long black hair hung down to his waist, revealing a charming smile, glanced at Zhang Ruochen, and said, "Ninth brother, you are one step late, these three wild bulls belong to me!"
"Moo!"
Three bulls, their eyes red, their iron hooves kicking on the ground, colliding with the stones, splashing sparks.
"Boom!"
The three brute bulls rushed towards the Nine County Lords at the same time.
The Lord of the Nine Counties grabbed three thunderbolts at the same time, put them on the bowstring, and drew the iron wire bow into the shape of a full moon.
"Huh!"
The three thunderbolts flew out at the same time, shot at the eyebrows of the three brute bulls, and pierced into the cowhide seven inches deep.
Lightning burst out from the arrowheads, and the three bulls died instantly, falling heavily into the stream, splashing a large splash.
The Nine Counties Lord put in the iron wire bow, glanced at Zhang Ruochen who was standing in the distance, smiled brightly, and said, "Sister's 'Three-point Return to Yuan Arrow Method' is a human-level low-grade martial art, and it has been completely integrated. Ninth brother, what do you think?"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes stared at the water behind the Nine County Lords, his eyes shrank, and his mouth let out a loud shout: "Be careful!"
The Lord of the Nine Counties also sensed the danger, turned around and looked, only to see that a giant brute beast twice as large as the body of a brute bull had rushed out of the water of the stream.
It was covered in metal-like cowhide, and with two sharp horns on top of its head, it slammed into the Nine Counties Lord.
"Boom"!
The antelope horse under the Lord of the Nine Counties let out a mournful neigh, his bones were broken, and a blood hole the size of a bowl was pierced by the horns of the ox, and he fell heavily to the ground.
The sudden change made the Nine County Lord unable to react, and fell to the ground with the antelope.
The Nine County Lord's heart was shocked, and he rolled around on the ground, and was about to stand up immediately.
Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared above her head, and the huge brute beast, with a pair of iron hooves, stepped on her with one foot.
If you are stepped on by this brute beast, will your body not be crushed?
"Bang!"
A thunderbolt flew from a distance and slammed into the beast's neck, shifting the beast's body slightly.
Its pair of iron hooves passed by the Nine County Lords, and landed on the ground next to the Nine County Lords, stepping on the ground with two and a half feet deep pits.
"It's worthy of a first-order medium-sized brute beast! Iron-skinned brute, its defense is too strong, and the thunder arrow can't shoot through its skin!"
Not only is the defense of the iron-clad bull strong, but also because Zhang Ruochen is too far away from it, the impact of the thunder arrow has been reduced.
Zhang Ruochen stood up from the back of the antelope, kicked his legs, and his body ejected, rushing towards the direction of the stream.
The strength of the iron-skinned brute bull is equivalent to the martial artist of the extreme position in the Yellow Extreme Realm, and the defensive power is comparable to that of the martial artist of the great pole of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and it is also quite powerful among the first-order medium brute beasts.
"Moo!"
The iron-skinned bull was enraged by Zhang Ruochen's arrow just now, raised his iron hooves again, and stepped on the Nine County Lord beside him.
"Huh!"
Zhang Ruochen soared in the air at a height of four meters, pulled out a thunderbolt, opened his bow, released the arrow, and shot it.
"Poof!"
The thunderbolt shot into the mouth of the Ironhide Bull with unmistakable accuracy, and the lightning spirit crystal exploded in the throat of the Ironhide Bull, turning into a ball of electricity, crushing the throat of the Ironhide Bull.
The Iron-Skinned Bull took two steps back, bleeding from his mouth in pain.
"Bang!"
The iron-skinned bull finally slammed into the ground with a bang.
The Lord of the Nine Counties breathed a long sigh of relief, and stood up with his legs a little weak, it was too thrilling just now, if Zhang Ruochen hadn't shot the Iron Bull, she would probably have died under the iron hooves of the Iron Bull.
Zhang Ruochen walked over, glared at the Nine County Lords, and said, "Are you okay?"
The Nine County Lord shook his head lightly and said, "If you don't arrive in time, then something will really happen." Ninth brother, why is your archery technique so powerful? The Iron Beast Bull is a first-order mid-level brute beast, and his defensive power is comparable to that of a martial artist in the Yellow Extreme Realm, and he was actually shot by you with two arrows!"
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the corpse of the iron-skinned brute bull on the ground and said, "Whether it is a brute beast or a human, they all have weaknesses. As long as you attack its weak points, you can kill it even if it is not as strong as it. ”
The greatest advantage of human beings is that they have a high level of intelligence, can use soldiers and weapons, and can analyze the weaknesses of brute beasts.
Therefore, human warriors are able to kill brute beasts that are stronger than their own strength.
If it weren't for the surprise of the Iron Bull, with the strength of the Nine County Lords, there would be a chance to kill the Iron Bull, so that he would not be as embarrassed as he is now.
The Lord of the Nine Counties put the iron wire bow on his shoulder, put away the quiver with only two thunder arrows left, and said: "Each of us has a special mark on the thunder arrow, and there will naturally be guards to collect the prey later, so we don't need to take the prey out in person." Let's go!"
As he spoke, the Nine County Lord walked in the direction of Zhang Ruochen's antelope.
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing?"
The Nine County Lord's lips hooked slightly, and he said with a smile: "My antelope has been seriously injured, and now naturally I can only ride your antelope horse, Ninth Brother, you won't let my sister go hunting on foot, right?"
The lord of the nine counties wore a close-fitting royal bird robe, outlining a beautiful and delicate body, with a round chest, a slender jade waist, and every inch of skin on his body was as white as jade, exuding a faint fragrance.
With a slight press of her arm on the antelope's back, her delicate body immediately ejected into the antelope's back, and landed on the antelope's back.
"Ninth brother, hurry up! If we don't set off again, the brute beast will be hunted by those guys!" The Nine County Lord's eyes blinked, and he stretched out a jade hand and made an inviting gesture.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen still walked over, held the weak jade hand of the Nine County Lords, and used this strength to turn over and fall on the back of the antelope.
The two rode together and rushed towards the depths of the King Mountain.
"With our strength, if we can cooperate with each other, it is enough to hunt down a first-order mid-level brute beast. There was a look of expectation in the eyes of the Nine County Lords, even if he just hunted a first-order mid-level brute beast, he would definitely be able to get a lot of results in the assessment of Wang Mountain's hunting.
The calculation method of Wang Shan's hunting results: one first-order high-grade brute beast = five first-order medium-class brute beasts
One first-order mid-level brute = five first-order inferior brute.
In other words, although Zhang Ruochen had only hunted an iron-skinned brute bull, it was already equivalent to hunting five first-order inferior brute beasts.
You must know that not everyone can hunt a first-order mid-level brute beast, at least they need the cultivation of the extreme in the Yellow Extreme Realm to be able to do it.
Moreover, the speed of a first-order mid-level brute beast is quite fast, and its defense power is very amazing, even if it has a mid-level cultivation, it is not an easy task to hunt a first-order mid-level brute beast.
Although Zhang Ruochen is only a cultivator at the peak of the small pole, his strength is already stronger than that of many middle pole martial artists, so he can successfully shoot the iron-skinned barbarian bull.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were very sharp, and he said, "If only I could hunt a first-order high-grade brute beast!"
"How is it possible? the comprehensive strength of every first-order high-grade brute beast is comparable to that of a martial artist of the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm, if we really encounter one, it will be a disaster, and it will be difficult for us to escape!"
The Nine County Lord said again: "In the year-end assessment of the past ten years, only the Seventh Prince has successfully hunted a first-order high-grade brute beast. As for this year's year-end assessment, no one has the strength to hunt first-order high-grade brute beasts at all. ”
