Chapter 256: Spring Hunting in the West (Part II)
Woo!~ The majestic horn of the bull sounded in the hunting camp, representing the beginning of the annual spring hunt in the western foothills of Uglu.
Hundreds of young knights and warriors, dressed in hunting costumes, armed with swords and crossbows, set out on foot towards the mountains in search of the monsters that lurked in the forests.
Spring hunting is an activity that belongs to the aristocracy, but it also has a certain quality of competition, especially these young noble children are all arrogant, of course, they don't want to fall behind, and they want to stand out in the spring hunt in order to gain the favor of beauties.
Especially when the news spread that Miss Xiling was going to come to watch the ceremony in two days, the battle suddenly increased a lot of gunpowder, and many knights were scrambling to compete for a good place.
The huge forests of the Sakin Mountains quickly engulfed hundreds of knights without making the slightest waves.
Sayat stopped.
He looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was snooping around, he said in a deep voice, "This time, don't let me down again!"
There was no one around him, and he didn't know who he was talking to, but as soon as he finished speaking, a strange figure flashed by a large tree next to him.
"Don't worry, this is not the royal capital, not to mention that we have sent an extra shaman this time, unless he reaches the strength of the fifth level, he will definitely not be able to escape our joint ambush!"
The mysterious man whispered, "I won't give him another chance to escape!"
There was an indescribable charm in her voice, and if Leon had been around at this time, she would have been able to tell that it was the female assassin who had attacked him at the hotel the night before.
She changed into a dark green close-fitting leather armor, and the exposed parts of her face and arms were all painted with black-green oil paint, and she stood silently by the bushes and it was difficult for people to notice.
Sayat snorted coldly: "I can trust you again, if you mess up again this time, I will let you Shadow Guild have no place in the king!"
After a pause, he continued: "Remember, his life is mine, you do it smartly!"
With that, he headed out into the depths of the forest without looking back.
A flash of disdain flashed in the female assassin's eyes, and she took a step back, disappearing.
Unbeknownst to Leon, a crisis was quietly approaching him.
Together with Drodick, he had climbed a high ridge.
Ahead is a dense and boundless forest, and as far as the eye can see, there are lofty mountains and mountains, which are also home to many magical beasts.
With the advent of spring, those demonic beasts that hibernate in the cave will come out to forage, and the hungry demonic beasts are often the most terrifying, so the spring hunting in the western foothills also has a certain danger, and there is no strength of the samurai at most to stay in the camp.
"Brother Leon, let's separate here, and see you in the evening!" said Drodick.
The results of the spring hunt in the western foothills are divided into individuals and groups, and they all have their own honors and awards, and Drodick has no small ambitions, hoping to achieve something in both aspects.
Therefore, the team he organized happened to be ten people required by the rules, and in order to ensure that they could get the maximum results, all ten people acted separately and hunted separately.
This is because in the periphery of the big forest, the number of demonic beasts is not large, and if everyone acts together, then not only will the results be difficult to divide, but the harvest will definitely not be as much as if everyone acted separately.
"Okay..."Leon nodded, "Be careful." ”
"Don't worry, this forest is only a level or two of the most demonic beasts, they can't hurt me!" Drodick said eagerly: "Brother Leon, whether we can get the first place this time is up to you!"
Among Drodick's team, Leon is the strongest, and Deroddick certainly hopes that he can hunt the most monsters and ensure the team's results.
Leon smiled, and activated his soul power to stimulate the thunder power to concentrate on his legs, and his body spread out like an arrow from a string into the dense forest below.
It had been a long time since he had tried the feeling of indulging in the forest.
Towering trees were quickly left behind, and their combat boots trampled lightly on the dead branches and vines, and their bodies traveled through the dense forest like meteor winds.
Galloping all the way, climbing over many mountains, I don't know how far away from the camp.
The majestic soul power flowed endlessly in his body, and the ubiquitous energy between heaven and earth penetrated his whole body, breathing in the unique fresh air of the forest, and Leon felt that every pore of his body was stretched.
When the speed was raised to the extreme, under the traction of the air engine, Leon couldn't help but raise his head and roar.
The howling sound reached the sky, and even the dense canopy of trees that covered the sky could not stop half a minute.
The howl continued for several minutes before it ended.
Leon then stopped, his heart unspeakably happy.
His gaze suddenly froze, and he pulled out the longbow behind his back with his backhand, aiming it at a tiger that had just pounced out of the mountain forest.
After being promoted to the rank 4 Soul Blade Warrior, Leon learned the art of the bow from Gustav's lineage.
Orthodox knights did not use a longbow, and they considered the bow and arrow to be a weapon only used by archers or light cavalry, and they would carry at most a heavy crossbow in case of a critical moment.
But Gustav is a rather unusual knight, who shares the same Thunder and Fire surname as Leon, and has spent his life in battle constantly seeking a skill that suits his strength.
In Gustav's opinion, unless he is a full-time archer, bows and arrows are not of much use to mid- and low-level beast soul warriors, and practicing bow skills will be distracting.
However, after being promoted to a fourth-level soul blade warrior and mastering the art of soul power release, the power of the bow and arrow will be greatly enhanced, and a fourth-level marksman may be able to kill an opponent of the same level from a great distance.
On top of that, the thunder element, which has the surname of acceleration and paralysis, is very suitable for use in bows and arrows, so Gustav went to learn the skills of a marksman, combined with his own understanding of combat, so as to master a set of exquisite sword skills.
Red flame heavy sword, electric thunder bow, Gustav with the extraordinary skills of the bow and sword, I don't know how many opponents he killed, on the battlefield even the best archery elf archers are terrified.
And Leon himself is also very respectful of long-range striking ability, he is no stranger to bows and arrows, and he is also a good hand at playing bows in the original world, so there is no pressure on him to learn advanced archery skills.
The pure gold longbow in his hand was auctioned for 120,000 gold coins, and he originally planned to give it to Rose after returning to Salling, but now participating in the spring hunt in the western foothills came in handy, and it was even faster to shoot the demonic beast with the strong bow in hand.
The Adamantite longbow weighed more than seventy pounds and had a pulling force of more than a thousand pounds, and was made of large quantities of black iron mixed with expensive adamantite gold.
The bow body is equipped with a special magic seal, and the bow is powerful and has a long range, which is most suitable for archers.
The tiger that emerged from the forest was burly and fierce, its black fur was dotted with golden dots, and the crimson markings on its forehead that were half a palm's width were particularly striking.
This is a second-level blood-spotted demon tiger, and it can also be regarded as a first-level existence of a small overlord on the periphery of the forest at the western foothills.
The concept of the Demon Tiger's territory is extremely strong, and this Blood-spotted Demon Tiger has just migrated to this forest not long ago, so it can't tolerate foreign invaders, and the tiger's eyes opened its bloody mouth at Leon.
A huge fireball erupted from its mouth and flew towards Leon dozens of paces away!
Well come! Leon stood still and did not dodge, an iron armor-piercing arrow firmly on the bowstring.
The three-edged arrow, flashing with the cold light of the forest, was aimed straight at the Blood Spotted Demon Tiger.
He held the longbow in his left hand, and his middle, ring, and little fingers flicked rapidly around the bow, and the slightest ray of thunder jumped between his fingers, and finally injected into the body of the arrow through the index finger of the thumb that held the arrow in place.
The Refined Iron Armor-Piercing Arrow trembled slightly, and countless tiny rays of lightning sprang up on the surface, transmitting a strange blue-purple light.
This is Gustav Thunder's Arrow, capable of delivering elemental power at the fastest possible speed and with precise control.
If it weren't for the fact that the quality of the fine iron armor-piercing arrow was not high and could not withstand the infusion of a large amount of thunder power, Leon would even be able to force a blade from the tip of the arrow, and it would be easy to pierce armor and break gold.
From the memory of the inheritance soul core, Leon couldn't find the name of this luck skill, and he himself called it - snap of the finger thunder!
When the bloodball spewed out by the Blood-Spotted Demon Tiger approached to a distance of no more than five or six paces, Leon suddenly released the bowstring!
Airplanes!
The bowstring made of pure pure gold made a heart-palpitating tremble, and the armor-piercing arrow shot out like lightning!
Syllable!
It pierced through the fireball first, and the thunder that lingered around the arrow collided violently with the fire element contained in the fireball, and the skull-sized fireball exploded like a balloon that had been pierced by a needle.
The speed of the armor-piercing arrow did not slow down in the slightest, it drew a long trajectory in the air, and shot in front of the Blood-spotted Demon Tiger in an instant.
At this time, the bloody mouth of the Blood-spotted Demon Tiger had not yet closed!
Poof!
The armor-piercing arrow shot mercilessly into its mouth, piercing through the tender pink flesh and piercing through the back of the neck of the blood-spotted demon tiger's head, and the remaining momentum was still shot into the trunk of a large tree behind it.
Until there is no feather!
The Blood Spotted Demon Tiger only had time to let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.
The thunder power contained in the arrow body completely destroyed the vitality of its brain power, and it was killed in seconds!
Leon put away his longbow, and countless flying fire points splashed down on his body, all of which were blocked by the soul armor of the body protector, without causing the slightest damage.
He walked over unhurriedly, pulled out the red blood heavy sword and broke through the head of the blood-spotted demon tiger, and dug out a blood-red demon core from inside.
The Demon Core is a proof of the results of the hunt, and the Demon Core that has just been taken out of the Demon Beast is easy to identify, so it is impossible to cheat in this regard.
Low-level demonic beasts do not have a magic core on each head, whether they can dig it or not depends on their character and luck, if you are lucky, you can dig one accurately, and if you are unlucky, you may kill dozens of demonic beasts and find nothing.
Today, Leon's luck seems to be good.
