In the World Chapter 48 Bounty Mission
There was a hissing sound from the slightly sparse bushes, followed by a creaking and chewing sound. A white soft-boned rabbit the size of a human head was chewing on blades of grass, its big bloodshot ears shaking a few times from time to time.
Suddenly, the chewing action of the soft bone rabbit stagnated, and the big ears kept shaking. At a certain moment, with a brush, the two powerful hind legs of the soft bone rabbit suddenly exerted force, and jumped out of a zhang at once. At the same time, an adult's palm-sized claw slapped at the place where the soft bone rabbit was grazing. A half-human-tall tabby cat meowed, its brown pupil shrunk in the middle of its emerald green eyes. It stared at the direction of the soft bone rabbit's escape, and its limbs worked together, and its body ejected like a cannonball, bringing a sizzling sound of air rubbing.
The soft bone rabbit is like a ghost, and it is extremely agile in the mountains and forests, and it can always forcibly twist its body at an incredible angle to change the direction of escape, which allows it to escape the claws of the ghost cat again and again. On the other hand, the Nether Cat, although it is faster than the Soft Bone Rabbit, is still much clumsier in comparison.
The chase had only taken a few breaths, but the Nether Cat had missed several times. It seemed to have exhausted its patience, and suddenly stopped, its whole body was full of turquoise light, and within a radius of tens of meters, time seemed to slow down, and the movements of all poisonous insects, snakes and ants became extremely sluggish. This is the Nether Cat's innate hexology - Nether Field, everything in the Nether Field will move much faster.
The moment the green light covered it, the body of the soft bone rabbit suddenly stagnated, and the speed of jumping and running slowed down a lot. The Nether Cat whined a few times, as if mocking, and walked slowly towards the Soft Bone Rabbit with small broken steps.
The neck of the soft bone rabbit was bitten by the ghost cat, and a crisp bone cracking sound was heard immediately. The soft bone rabbit struggled frantically for a few moments, but finally stopped moving.
The Nether Cat put away the field, this demon art consumes a lot of spiritual power, and it will be difficult to continue after a while. A paw pressed the head of the soft bone rabbit, and the two sharp saber teeth on the upper jaw of the ghost cat easily broke through the soft bone rabbit's fur, and with a little force, the soft bone rabbit was disemboweled, and the colorful intestines flowed to the ground.
......
After a delicious meal, the Nether Cat was about to lick off the blood from the corners of its mouth with its tongue, when a burst of wind broke in an instant, and the strong spiritual power fluctuations made the Nether Cat feel creepy. Between the lightning and flint, the Nether Cat subconsciously lay down on its side, and a black feather arrow with huge power broke through the air and plunged into the ground with a snap. The black feather of the arrow was no more than half an inch from the Nether Cat's forelimbs, and although it didn't hit its body directly, the strong wind carried by the arrow still left a shallow wound on its forelimbs.
"Wow...... Wow......" The Nether Cat was furious, and it flipped over, revealing its hideous saber teeth and let out a long roar. This roar is both a threat and a warning.
Dugu Zhishui stood on the fork of the tree, sighed with some regret, and he bent his bow again.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Nether Cat immediately fled, and when it ran like a gust of wind, it was extremely fast. Its speed advantage when it hunted the Soft Bone Rabbit before was not brought into play, but now it is vividly displayed.
Dugu Zhishui released another arrow, and the Nether Cat dodged at the critical moment, and the arrow missed again. He jumped off the tree and chased after the Nether Cat. Unexpectedly, when the ghost cat saw him coming down from the tree, not only did he no longer dodge, but turned around and rushed over. The Nether Cat came in an instant, and it swung its right paw, its sharp nails tearing through the air and slashing at Dugu's neck. Dugu Zhishui leaned back and narrowly dodged this claw.
The Nether Cat roared a few times, and the green light bloomed again. The strength of this Nether Cat has reached the realm of Martial Sect, and it is the strongest opponent that Dugu Zhishui has encountered in the past few months.
The moment the green light shone on Dugu Zhishui's body, he suddenly felt his feet sink, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he didn't expect that the Netherworld Field emitted by the Netherworld Cat whose strength had reached the realm of the Martial Sect was so strong!
Dugu Zhishui took out his long sword and assumed a defensive posture. This Nether Cat is too fast, and now that he is affected by the Nether Field, it is even more difficult to compete with it.
The Nether Cat took small steps around Dugu Zhishui, and it was able to cultivate to the realm of the Martial Sect, so it naturally had its own pride.
It is not easy for demon beasts to cultivate, and it may take nearly a hundred years to reach the realm of martial arts. However, there are losses and gains, and demon beasts have very few bottlenecks in their cultivation, which means that as long as they are given time, they can all cultivate to a certain level. And the biggest bottleneck in the cultivation of demon beasts comes from the bloodline, and their bloodline limits the highest realm they can reach. The highest level that Nether Cats can generally reach is Martial Venerable.
The Nether Cat attacked violently, and Dugu Zhishui couldn't dodge, so he could only dance a sword flower head-on, and his movements were still not slow. After all, his realm is higher than that of the Nether Cat.
The sword claws intersected and made a crisp sound of gold and iron, and the Nether Cat was suddenly in pain, leaving a few shallow blood marks where the sword blade passed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the ghost cat suddenly retreated.
Dugu stopped the water and waited, and the nether field used by the Nether Cat was extremely spiritually draining, and it couldn't last long. The Nether Cat slowly retreated, and Dugu Zhishui slowly followed, he had to kill the opponent the moment he withdrew the field, otherwise it would be difficult for him to catch up with it once he let it get away.
The Nether Cat is extremely cautious, it can't hold out for long, and it can't keep using the Nether Field when it escapes. In a hurry, the ghost cat suddenly attacked Dugu Zhishui's side, and Dugu Zhishui could only dodge dangerously, and at the same time, the secret path in his heart was not good.
The Nether Cat missed a pounce and fled directly, and the Nether Field was instantly lifted. Dugu Zhishui saw that the Nether Cat was about to run away, so he had to bend his bow and take arrows, and infuse his whole body's spiritual power into the three arrows.
Dugu Zhishui made a desperate bet, he bent his bow like a full moon, and the moment his fingers were released, three arrows shot away with strong spiritual power fluctuations. Wherever the arrows passed, the bushes were crushed by churning.
The arrows came in an instant, and the running Nether Cat suddenly felt creepy, and it was about to dodge, but three arrows broke through the air, and it had nowhere to hide!
The Nether Cat howled, and a black-feathered arrow pierced its back, leaving a bloody hole the size of a wrist. Dugu Zhishui shot three arrows, and his body suddenly became empty. The Nether Cat's vitality was tenacious, and even though it was mortally wounded and blood was gushing, it still struggled, staggering forward.
Dugu Zhishui walked behind it, and his heart was a little touched, all the creatures in this world are just fighting for survival, the weak eat the strong, this is the law of nature, no one can change it.
The ghost cat looked at Dugu Zhishui, there was a prayer in his eyes, and there was unwillingness, Dugu Zhishui sighed: "If I am seriously injured, will you let me go?"
"I'm going to give you a good time. Dugu Zhishui put the last bit of spiritual power in the palm of his hand, and slapped his palm on the door of the Nether's head, and the Nethercat fell in response......
Guangyuan Street, Archer Hunter Guild.
The shopkeeper stared blankly at the huge Nether Cat corpse in front of him, and was speechless for a moment. It wasn't until Dugu Zhishui knocked on the counter for a long time that he came back to his senses and said, "Little brother, this is ...... Did you really kill this?"
"What?" asked Dugu Zhishui.
"The strength of this Nether Cat should be comparable to that of a Martial Sect, right? If a middle-aged man kills such a Nether Cat, I will feel fresh at best, but it won't be too strange. Because it is not rare for people to be able to cultivate to the Martial Sect in middle age, but these people generally have better places to go, and basically no one wants to be a hunter to hunt demon beasts. The shopkeeper paused, and continued: "But you are less than twenty! If this demon beast was really killed by you alone, then I can only sigh that the little brother is extremely talented." ”
"It was already badly injured when I encountered it. Dugu Zhishui pointed to the bloody hole behind the Nether Cat.
The shopkeeper took a closer look at the fatal wound on the Nether Cat's back, nodded, and said to himself, "That's reasonable." ”
Dugu Zhishui was impatient and said, "Whether you accept it or not, if you don't accept it, I'll find another house." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "Receive, receive, of course!"
"How much do you give?"
"One thousand taels!"
"How many martial sect-level demon beasts can you collect a year?Two thousand taels, not a single point less!" Dugu Zhishui said categorically.
"Little brother, you are blackmailing!" the shopkeeper patted the counter, "You can buy twenty martial artist-level ghost cats for each one! One thousand and five, there can't be more! If you have more, you can find another home, our temple is small, and we can't afford to pay for it!"
"Well, don't forget it. ”
Dugu stopped the water and simply carried the corpse of the ghost cat and left, without dragging mud and water at all. The shopkeeper glared angrily, and when he saw that he was about to walk out of the store, he hurriedly shouted again: "One thousand eight!
There was no response, and Dugu Zhishui had already walked out of the store.
"You...... You little bunny...... Rabbit...... Two thousand! Give you two thousand! Come back quickly!" the shopkeeper's eyes were about to pop out.
Dugu Zhishui turned back casually, threw the corpse of the ghost cat to the ground, and stretched out his right hand, "Take the money." ”
The shopkeeper glared at him deadly, gritted his teeth and took out two golden tickets of one thousand taels, "I have never seen you such a philistine offspring, it's really ...... Too...... It's ......"
"What's wrong?" Dugu Zhishui snatched two golden tickets, and did not give the shopkeeper any room to regret it. "The first time I was so miserable by you, and I was a stunned young man who didn't know anything?"
The shopkeeper opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You young man is really terrible, you have only been here a few times and you have figured out the doorway here." ”
Dugu Zhishui rolled his eyes, and was about to wave goodbye, when the shopkeeper suddenly said: "By the way, we recently released a bounty task, and the participants have a bounty of five hundred taels of gold, are you interested?"
