Pretending To Be A Boss

All is subject to fate, and before the team was complete, even if the hunting festival offered rich rewards, he had no way to participate.

...

...

The blood-colored wilderness was actually not barren; it's a grassland, only the grass is red. This grass is not the "Red Thread Grass" but rather, Crimson Heart Grass, and it's the favorite food of the wilderness cattle.

This kind of grass actually thrives in the south, and if planted in the red soil forest, it might grow as tall as the Red Thread Grass.

Wilderness cattle are herd animals, but their leader, Yi Niu, prefers solitude.

Yi Niu is a type of bull that is very proud. It always stands on the high grounds of the wilderness, not allowing any ordinary cattle to come near, savoring the pleasure akin to "surveying the world from a great height."

Tang Xian thought it was quite nice.

Animals are really stupid when they act foolishly. Along the way, Tang Xian chose paths with less Crimson Heart Grass, thereby avoiding the wilderness cattle.

The most numerous creatures in the blood-colored wilderness were the wilderness cattle; this place was practically their kingdom. The air even carried the scent of cow dung.

Tang Xian actually wanted to take over this place, who wouldn't want to own a natural pasture?

However, there were still many currently unachievable aspects to this plan, so Tang Xian was not in a hurry.

It would be great to start by eating a Yi Niu to settle his nerves.

Yi Niu and wilderness cattle do not have a nose as keen as carnivorous animals, but their eyesight is quite good.

They are somewhat similar to frogs, particularly sensitive to objects in motion.

Therefore, once in the wilderness, Tang Xian moved leisurely, deliberately slowing down his pace.

Even though wilderness cattle couldn't detect the scent of a monster fox, they still did not attack Tang Xian. Tang Xian was sure that as long as he maintained a certain speed, he would not attract the attention of the wilderness cattle.

"Brother Tang Xian, there are so many cattle here."

Tang Xian probably guessed Tang Xiaojiu's thoughts and said, "Not now, but in the future we can consider fencing them in."

"What does 'fencing them in' mean?"

"It's the preparation work that needs to be done before we eat them. We let them keep producing calves, and then we'll always have beef to eat."

Tang Xiaojiu understood. This was indeed a grand plan.

Dong Ran was a little worried: "These cattle are rough and tough; what if we can't handle them…"

"Don't worry, when we fight Yi Niu later, it will mainly have its back to you. I'll direct you to its position, and you just need to keep attacking its belly."

The highlands of the wilderness were quickly reached.

The proud Yi Niu, with its three-meter-long body, was arrogantly patrolling its territory; Tang Xian, leading Tang Xiaojiu, walked unhurriedly.

Soon, Yi Niu saw Tang Xian. It glared with its big eyes, anger evident in its gaze.

Dong Ran was a little nervous. She trusted Tang Xian in her heart, but this was her first time facing such a formidable creature.

Tang Xian took out a long ribbon from his bag of tools and tied it around Dong Ran's waist.

"Yi Niu is very strong; if its attack hits you once, you will certainly die. Its skin is very tough, and its belly is as well, though comparatively softer. This fight will take some time. Alright, now stand diagonally to it."

Dong Ran nodded her head.

Once the fight began, a determined expression surfaced on the girl's face.

Though it was bullfighting steps she used, the opening pose was indeed like dancing, with the white ribbon fluttering in the wind, dancing along with Dong Ran's figure, tracing paths through the air.

Bulls are animals that get easily excited by constant and irregular movement.

The proud Yi Niu was especially this way, stamping its front hooves on the spot in the earth, gathering its strength.

In Dong Ran's eyes, various values of Yi Niu surfaced: Health Points 12000, Attack Power 2400.

As Tang had said, this creature was powerful, hard to kill, and had the strength to deliver a death blow in a single hit.

But its speed was a few beats slower than her own.

Yi Niu charged.

"From now on, repeat dance steps one through six in a cycle," rang out the voice of Tang Xian.

Dong Ran couldn't reply, in a life-or-death moment like this, all she could do was trust Tang Xian.

The dance steps were light and quick, as if an entire maglev train was hurtling towards her at top speed. After skillfully evading Yi Niu with her second dance step, she felt the blast of air rush past her.

How terrifying was that charge?

She didn't pause, for evading the Yi Niu's charge also meant she had to dodge the sweep of its tail and the kick of its hind legs.

But the third and fourth dance steps also perfectly avoided these attacks.

The fifth step was a retreat, a large distance back, and the sixth step was to return to position.

At this time, Dong Ran realized that she had arrived at the same spot where Yi Niu had begun its charge while Yi Niu had taken her previous position.

Tang Xian revealed a smile.

This girl Dong Ran had many faults, but her execution was not bad, and she had practiced the dance steps diligently. To help the girl accept them better, he certainly tried to make the dance steps appear graceful.

Especially when combined with the fullness in front of her chest, the bouncing movements could make any man feel pleased to the eye.

"Continue, reverse positions, cycle through steps one to six."

Having dodged the first time, Dong Ran gained confidence.

Yi Niu's charge could unleash a power far beyond its attack value. In simple terms, this creature's attack power and health exceeded that of a perfect-level creature, but its speed and stamina were far less than that of an ordinary perfect creature.

When it charged, the ground shook as if an earthquake were happening, and when it ran, the highlands of the wilderness trembled slightly.

But a miss took its toll on Yi Niu as well.

The white ribbon swayed in the wind, serving like a cat's cradle teasing a cat. Yi Niu was particularly susceptible to this. Perhaps all bulls are.
