Chapter 329: Is it him? (Please subscribe)
"Basic Archery, leveled up again."
Chen Fan glanced at the skill bar and muttered to himself.
In less than half an hour, Basic Archery had leveled up nearly 10 times, reaching nearly Level 60.
The traits were still the same as before, with no new ones unlocked.
He glanced at the experience points again.
They had increased by fifty or sixty thousand points.
At this rate of development, the experience points could increase by seven or eight hundred thousand before nightfall!
Of course, that was theoretically.
Those high-level fierce beasts are indeed without wisdom, but they have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. When they see their companions falling one by one, many of them flee far away.
"Even if the yield of experience points is halved, it can still amount to three or four hundred thousand points, adding up to over seven hundred thousand now. Breaking a million today should be a certainty. If only there were more arrows."
Chen Fan thought to himself.
He had only thirty arrows in total, which made the efficiency of killing these high-level fierce beasts very low.
Fortunately, his goal was not just to gain experience points but also to improve the proficiency of Basic Archery.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly he sensed something and looked in the direction where those people had left.
"Are those people heading towards the center?"
Chen Fan frowned.
The materials from the commander-level fierce beast and dozens of elite-level fierce beasts had all been collected by him. Even if those people went there, it wouldn't matter much.
However, he intended to take the commander-level fierce beast with him.
Hopefully, those people don't target that commander-level fierce beast. Otherwise, it will waste some more time.
He shook his head and once again aimed his arrow at a high-level fierce beast a kilometer away.
Meanwhile, in a different direction.
Yuan Yang, leading a group of people, was darting between buildings.
Compared to before, this time they encountered a large number of high-level fierce beasts. Some even spotted them and charged towards them.
However, a few high-level fierce beasts didn't have a chance to get close to the group, getting blown into pieces halfway.
"Tch, these high-level fierce beasts are really not shrewd, daring to provoke us." A young man said narcissistically.
"Alright, you just killed a couple of high-level fierce beasts, look at yourself boasting."
"Yeah, show us how you instantly kill an elite-level fierce beast next."
"Kill? Just watch me later."
The group started bickering again.
Little did they know, Yuan Yang at the front suddenly trembled, showing a horrified expression.
"What's wrong, Uncle Yuan?"
A curious young woman behind asked, and when she followed Yuan Yang's gaze, her eyes widened.
Ahead, on a large open ground hundreds of meters away, lay dozens of large fierce beast corpses.
All were Frenzied Bulls!
Soon, the others noticed this scene too.
The atmosphere turned silent instantly.
"Uncle Yuan, what's going on? Why are there so many Frenzied Bulls' corpses ahead?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Are they all dead?"
"Obviously! If they were alive and we were this close, they'd have reacted."
"How did they die? Who killed them? Could it be internal fighting?"
"Internal fighting? No way! Frenzied Bulls are social beasts, internal fighting?"
"Let's go take a closer look, be cautious and watch the surroundings."
Yuan Yang said.
Even he was full of doubts.
As they got closer, they finally saw what had happened.
Each Frenzied Bull had a meter-wide hole, with blood coagulating around the wound, clearly dead for some time.
Moreover, valuable materials from these Frenzied Bulls were missing, like the pair of horns on their heads.
"Someone cut and took them away with a sharp weapon."
Yuan Yang inspected a dead Frenzied Bull, examining the neat cut.
"Uncle Yuan, same here."
"Same here."
"Seems like all of them."
They were all dumbfounded.
The same wound, same marks.
Were all these Frenzied Bulls killed by the same person?
Oh my god, who could kill dozens of elite-level fierce beasts alone?
"Shh."
Yuan Yang realized their voices were too loud, gesturing for them to be quiet. "Everyone, keep calm…"
Before he finished, someone tugged his arm.
"Uncle Yuan, look over there, what's that?" said the person, pointing not far off.
"What's that?"
Yuan Yang looked, and immediately felt a chill down his spine.
A frame over ten meters tall and more than twenty meters long, looking like a mountain of flesh from afar!
Is this the size of an elite-level beast?
This is clearly a commander-level fierce beast!
"Command, commander-level?"
"It's a commander-level fierce beast!"
"Oh my god, it's the Furious Barbaric Bull King!"
Exclamations erupted.
"Uncle Yuan, should we leave here? If the Furious Barbaric Bull King notices us, we'll be in trouble." A quick-thinking woman reminded.
The others also snapped out of their shock hearing this.
That's right, faced with such a beast without preparation, remain calm; panic can turn an easy escape into a dangerous situation, making already dangerous scenarios even deadlier.
"Don't worry."
Yuan Yang's voice echoed.
"That Furious Barbaric Bull King is already dead."
"What! Dead!"
"Dead!"
Startled, they looked again.
The commander-level fierce beast had no head!
Not just the head, its four legs were gone, and its mountain-like body was covered in injuries and even burn marks.
"This?"
They exchanged glances.
This Furious Barbaric Bull King was already dead.
"Uncle Yuan, shall we go take a closer look?"
"Yes, let's have a closer look."
Yuan Yang nodded.
Approaching the Furious Barbaric Bull King's body, despite it being dead, its gigantic frame brought an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"How did it die?"
"Yeah, who could kill such a massive beast?"
"A B-level Awakener perhaps?"
"Even a B-level Awakener alone would struggle with this many Frenzied Bulls."
"Indeed, probably needs at least two or three B-level Awakeners."
"Too bad the valuable materials from this commander-level fierce beast have been taken, what's left isn't worth much."
"Not worth much? This is a commander-level beast, its meat is as valuable as a top-grade Qi Blood Pill, even more so!"
"Really, the effect is that strong?"
They chatted back and forth.
Yuan Yang inspected the wounds on the Furious Barbaric Bull King, deep in thought.
He remembered the masked, bow-wielding mysterious person outside.
The wounds on those elite-level fierce beasts were penetrative, similar to those on the high-level fierce beasts outside, but much larger.
At first, they didn't seem caused by arrows.
But what if arrows were infused with True Qi?
Being a True Essence Realm martial artist himself, he knew a simple palm strike could break several walls, but with True Qi, it could shatter them.
Similarly, could arrows infused with True Qi achieve similar results?
Were the outside elite fierce beasts also killed by the mysterious person?
Probably.
And what about this commander-level fierce beast?
The Barbaric Bull King, though ordinary, didn't have racial talents, relying on brute strength to charge around.
It's still a commander-level fierce beast!
Facing it one-on-one, there's a risk of falling. Killing it? Difficult.
The wounds on this Furious Barbaric Bull King seemed caused by explosions; intense heat burned the surrounding black.
Not arrow wounds.
"Could there be someone else?"
He murmured.
"Uncle Yuan, someone else?" A curious woman inquired.
"No, nothing."
Yuan Yang shook his head.
His gaze scanned the surroundings, lingering on the fallen Frenzied Bulls and the Furious Barbaric Bull King.
Today, he intended to train the young associates like before, but all elite fierce beasts were killed and even the strongest commander-level beast was dead.
No wonder the outside mid to high-level fierce beasts fought amongst themselves.
"It seems hunting will have to be in other abandoned cities next time. Those cities' commander-level beasts aren't as easy to deal with as this Furious Barbaric Bull King."
Thinking this, Yuan Yang felt headache.
The perfect spot was lost.
"Uncle Yuan, shall we leave?"
"Yeah, Uncle Yuan, the elite fierce beasts here are dead, only high-level ones left. We aren't that guy outside, enthusiastically killing high-level beasts."
"Uncle Yuan, before we leave, shall we take the commander-level beast?" A man suggested.
Though the beast was dead, people in the city wouldn't know how it died.
They could show off and the meat's worth money.
"This commander-level beast?"
Yuan Yang considered.
Killing the Furious Barbaric Bull King, only the valuable materials were taken. Its flesh and tendons were good too, taking it would be great.
"Then…"
"You better not think about taking that Furious Barbaric Bull King."
A sudden voice interrupted.
