Chapter 11: The Hunt
Eighteen daggers bloomed in the night light. Shoot towards the massive body of the one-horned hippopotamus.
The one-horned hippopotamus suddenly opened its eyes and opened its mouth.
An incomparably powerful column of water greeted the sword light.
Under the crackling impact. Eighteen daggers fell to the ground like broken-winged birds.
"Puff puff puff". Eighteen more daggers pierced the stagnant air, making a sharp whistling. Shot towards the eighteen blood orifices around the one-horned hippopotamus.
Another vast horse flew out of the mouth of the one-horned hippopotamus.
Fiercely slammed into Chen Jie's blade array.
This is the flying knife method of the ghost wolf that Chen Jue obtained under his [Holographic Imitation]. But that's not all.
The blue is better than the blue, and the eighteen flying daggers all penetrate out from the intervals between the water droplets in a strange manner.
Dragonflies point to the water, and antelopes hang their horns.
A photograph came to the one-horned hippopotamus.
The hippopotamus tries to open its mouth again. But the eighteen daggers had been firmly inserted into its eighteen bloody orifices.
Dagger in the dagger. None of them fell short.
Each dagger sank into the weakest part of the one-horned hippopotamus's flesh at a strange angle.
The hippopotamus froze and slowly sank into the water.
Chen Jue figured out his [Golden Years] to solve the cow. Quickly remove the soul bone of the one-horned hippopotamus.
It is a male one-horned hippopotamus that weighs up to 5 tons. If Chen Du fights with it hand-to-hand, it will be difficult to have a chance of winning. will even take their own lives.
The physical strength of an ordinary human is simply not comparable to that of a one-horned hippopotamus known as a 'wrestler in the water'.
Holding this 1-meter-long golden soul bone. Chen Jue felt an unusually heavy feeling. He could imagine the tremendous amount of energy lurking in here.
In his knowledge. The Horned Beast's soul bone has several main functions.
First, it was mainly the Star Beast Clan that needed to burn a large number of soul bones during their [Ten Transformations of Beast Blood]. [Ten Changes of Beast Blood] is an extraterrestrial ancient method of the Star Beast Clan. It is remembered in the blood of the Star Beast people in the form of instinct. It is an ancient method that the Star Beast Clan must run after taking the Evolution Liquid, and this ancient method and the soul bone cooperate with each other to temper their bodies.
Second, the Terrans in the Dragon Alliance and the Ancient Alliance also use this soul bone to cut down the bones and strengthen themselves.
Thirdly, the soul bone is also an excellent source of energy, just like the spirit gold stone provides mineral energy, it provides biological energy. These two energies complement each other and eventually produce a pure source of energy.
Fourth, there are some high-level horned beasts, and the soul bones on their bodies will be crystallized. Once the soul bones crystallize. This crystallized soul bone will preserve all of the fighting skills and combat experience of this horned beast in front of him. Even humans without a blood lineage can possess this kind of combat skill that is exclusive to Star Beasts. It's just that it is extremely difficult for human beings to completely fuse and absorb this kind of soul bone. If you are not careful, you will explode and die.
As for whether there are other functions, Chen Jue doesn't know. It's just that he's silently exploring everything that makes him curious.
In the next 30 days, Chen Jue shuttled back and forth in the area of nearly 2,000 square kilometers of Rank 1 horned beasts in this large forest, which is 20 kilometers long and 100 kilometers wide, and hunted countless medium-sized unicorns. There are also 10 large Tier 1 Horned Beasts.
He was constantly on the go every day, and he couldn't remember how many medium-sized Tier 1 Horned Beasts, how many small Rank 1 Horned Beasts and Humans he had hunted.
Today is his 56th day in the Great Forest. He watched as the numbers on the skull on his arm became: 3725 and 14.7952, respectively.
Kill value has become unusually high, while evolution value has increased slowly. He remembered that the one-horned giant elephant he had hunted a few days ago had earned him 10 kills and only given him 0.002 evolution.
6 days ago, one of his traps culled a one-horned wolf, giving him 1 kill and 0.2 evolution. But Chen Jue felt that it was really difficult to earn enough 1,000 evolution points.
Perhaps only by using his wits to leapfrog and challenge stronger opponents or hunt more advanced prey can it be possible to quickly increase his evolution value.
During these 56 days, Chen Jue's body was scarred. There were 45 wounds that were almost fatal. Other wounds, large and small, are countless.
To Chen Jie's surprise, his body suddenly had super recovery ability, so that his wounds would heal and recover quickly and automatically after being injured.
He didn't know if it was due to the two toxins in his body that tempered his **. Ever since he stepped out of the Prairie of Ingla, ever since he inadvertently opened his X Mark, miracles have always followed him.
At this time, it was drizzling in the sky. It brings a bit of humidity and coolness to the somewhat hot forest.
A dangerous aura made Chen Jie's nostrils itch slightly.
Instinctively, he suddenly leaned down.
A golden warhead, piercing through the air, burst through the place where he had just stood, and shrapnel flew sideways,
Chen Jue's body sprang up with great speed and rushed towards the front. At the same time, the eighteen flying daggers in his hand began to burst out of the air.
In front of him stood a tall young man in ornate armor. With a high-explosive sniper rifle in his hand,
His expression was a little stunned, as if even he didn't know what was going on.
He had never missed, obviously unable to accept the fact in front of him, he was a genius in the family, and before the age of 16, he had become a robot with a transformation degree of thirty percent and a level of transformation in the first three realms. This time, under the protection of the family elders, he entered this forest, firstly, for training, and secondly, to snatch and hunt the horned beast soul bone with his family's hunters.
Although this was strictly forbidden by the Empire. But it's okay to try your luck once in a while. Because his family is so poor that he can't open the pot. Several business failures and large compensation payments are too much for small families like them to bear.
Even three months ago, when his father was not killed in battle, as a colonel and head of the top special legion of the Imperial Elite Series, it was barely possible to support and carry forward their small family.
But without his father, things would have been much worse. As a family involved in the empire's transportation industry, the most feared thing is the loss of goods in transit. Unfortunately, this kind of thing happened to his family. And not just one, but all.
For the sake of this family, as the new head of the family, he had no choice but to take risks.
What's even more unfortunate is that he met Chen Jue today, a former killer.
The dagger plunged at a strange angle into the gaps in the scales of the young man's armor.
Then a dazzling blade slashed across his neck,
The young man instinctively threw the gun and stepped back,
The body pans and does not move.
Chen Du's [Golden Years] fell short and was quickly put away,
Chen Jue fell to the ground, and two daggers slashed at the young man's legs, one left and one right. At the same time, he let go of his hands, picked up the sniper rifle on the ground, and retreated.
The young man came back to his senses, and there was an extra longbow in his hand,
"Whoosh", the two whistling voices with wind and thunder rushed towards the direction of Chen Jie's escape.
Behind him were 12 figures,
Children who grow up on the grassland, if they can't outrun the wild wolf, the end is death.
The killer who grew up in the grassland can't outrun the cheetah, which is a huge joke in itself.
In the border area of the Ingla steppe, which is called the Death Zone. Every day, a feast of death is held, and various versions of hunt and escape are being performed.
The end of the weak is absolute death. There is no suspense at this point.
Looking out at the big empty forest ahead. The young man stopped. Two elders and nine members of the hunting team also stopped 2 meters behind him.
These people are the last root of this young man. The family suffered, and people left. Of the 6 elders, there are 2 remaining. Of the 30 family masters, only 9 remained.
If they were lucky enough to survive this time and bring back a few medium-sized horned beast soul bones. Then the family will inevitably be able to rise again.
However, it seems that their luck suddenly took a turn for the worse after meeting the teenager.
Before that, they easily killed more than 60 humans and grabbed more than 10 small soul bones. But there is not a single soul bone of intermediate and above intermediate. And these soul bones are pitifully small. The largest was just a one-horned red rabbit's soul bone, the size of an adult's little finger. The smallest was the soul bone of a one-horned wolfbee the size of one-tenth of a grain of rice.
If all goes well, they believe that they will always find a larger soul bone. Before I met Chen Jie. Each of them had faith in their hearts.
If anyone other than the trainer sneaked into this Great Horned Beast Forest, it was discovered that the result was that it was made into a specimen by the Nine Shadows. Life is better than death.
They had been lucky because all the people who found them had died at their hands. They don't have to worry about being denounced. As long as you can successfully get the soul bones of the standard weight, you can secretly buy off the soldiers. Then their sword deviant this time will undoubtedly draw a perfect end.
But there are always accidents, and maybe accidents are the real norm.
The world is filled with so much uncertainty.
The young head of the house looked at the deserted woods in front of him. The face is gloomy. Next to him stood two elders, one dressed in gray. Dressed in black.
Nine family hunters stood silently a few meters away from the three of them, nervously guarding their surroundings.
The gray-clothed elder glanced at his young master and said in a low voice, "It seems that we are going to focus all our energy on this one during this time. Once he revealed our whereabouts. We will surely die. ”
The young head of the house nodded. said: "The gun left by my father must be recovered." ”
The black-clothed elder had a solemn face and glanced at the gray-clothed elder. He stopped his gaze on the young head of the house. Said softly, "I'm afraid there are some problems this time,"
"What's the problem," the gray-clothed elder hurriedly asked.
The black-clothed elder was silent for a moment. Then he said, "An ordinary person dares to attack a team with 3 robots, and he can still escape with his whole body. Isn't that a little strange?"
The gray-clothed elder glanced at the black-clothed old man with disdain, and said, "Among ordinary people, there are also ** robots who are not inferior to any robot who has practiced to the extreme. The man just now wasn't that strong, it was just his luck. ”
The young head of the family thought for a moment. "This man must die," he whispered, "and his tone was resolute, leaving no room for doubt.
At this time, Chen Jue strode in the woods, holding the high-explosive sniper rifle he had just snatched in his hand.
This gun is good, it is the latest model from the Empire the year before last. The power is huge, the range is long, and the shooting accuracy is extremely high.
The only regret is that Chen never grabbed a single bullet.
According to his ideas, he can also improve with the help of his design ideas. At that time, he will have a powerful weapon with great power and long-range efficiency. As a killer once you have such a sniper rifle. Then it is difficult for any long-distance target to be locked on by him to have a chance to escape.
At this moment he stopped, put his gun into his space, and three more people appeared in front of him.
One male and two female. Wear the uniform format of the training camp.
They are all over twenty years old, the men are athletic, and the women are graceful, but they do not lose their sense of strength.
At this time, they each held a large wooden stick about 2 meters long in their hands. The sticks are cast in fine copper. Hard, heavy.
Their eyes were fixed on Chen Jue, who came out of the grove step by step.
People who are able to live at this time. If it's not particularly lucky, then it must have excellent strength.
Chen decided that they definitely belonged to the latter category.
The man narrowed his eyes, his gaze condensed into a light like the tip of a needle. The brass rod in his hand was unusually heavy.
Chen Jue was still approaching them step by step, with no intention of stopping.
The three of them started at the same time, and the man walked in a straight line and plunged straight into Chen Jie's chest. The woman circled behind him, one left and one right.
But. The three of them suddenly stopped all movements, and pointed a black muzzle at the man's eyebrows.
That's Chen Jie's [窀穸].
The man withdrew the copper rod that had walked out of the middle and asked in a low voice, "You also cheat?"
Chen Jue smiled and said, "Well,"
There was a slight look of pain on the man's face. Said lightly: "We want to live." ”
Chen Jie's eyes flickered, and he could smell a special smell from them. A taste of a lion cub that has lost the protection of a lioness in the savannah. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you brother and sister?"
The man nodded
Chen Jue continued to ask, "Why did you come in?"
The man looked at Chen Jue and was silent for two breaths. said in a low voice: "The family was slaughtered, and only 3 of us brothers and sisters remained, whether they were killed on the spot or walked into this Nine Secluded Land." Can we have a choice?"
Chen was speechless and put away his [窀穟]. He took out a large piece of pickled bison thigh and threw it at the man. Whispered, "Good luck to you." Then he stepped past the man and walked forward.
The three brothers and sisters exchanged a look with each other. Leave in a hurry from the other direction.
A day later, when Chen Jue killed a one-horned crocodile in a small river, and before he could remove the soul bone, two old men stood behind him,
Feel the smell of danger. Chen Jue turned around,
Standing in front of him were the two robots from the same team he had encountered a day earlier.
One gray, one black. Two figures.
Robot. Thinking of this word made Chen Jie's head numb. It's not like he hasn't killed a robot before. But he never killed a single robot on his own. This time it's just me. But he's not just dealing with a robot. It's two, or more than two.
There are only 10 bullets left in his [Kiln], and 8 of them are only bullets, which can resist the alloy slug of the high-grade spirit stone.
However, at this time, only the remaining 2 bullets filled with cluster gunpowder can cause substantial damage to the 2 robots in front of them from a distance. And his [Golden Years] couldn't get close to those two robots.
So Chen Jue had a headache.
