Lan Ling asked, In this Wild Bull Valley, how many of these elite fiery red barbarian bulls are there roughly?
I am not sure, probably around ten or so. Night Startled Feather said.
Lan Ling was overjoyed. In the future he would no longer kill ordinary wild bulls, since their bloodline dragon power was too thin. He would specially look for these elite fiery red barbarian bulls to hunt.
However next Lan Ling still killed over ten ordinary wild bulls, because he needed to devour enough dragon power before he could draw a one hundred jin bow and release a critical strike to kill the elite fiery red barbarian bulls.
Early the next morning Lan Ling carried a one hundred jin bow and went to look for elite fiery red barbarian bulls.
After devouring the bloodline dragon power of one elite fiery red barbarian bull yesterday his arm strength had increased to ninety jin. Once he used dragon power for a critical strike he could already draw a one hundred jin strong bow and carry out steady aiming and shooting.
…
These elite fiery red barbarian bulls were indeed not easy to find. After a full two or three hours Lan Ling had already encountered at least over ten isolated wild bulls, but he had not encountered a single elite fiery red barbarian bull.
At noon the sun was high in the sky. Lan Ling and Night Startled Feather were already sweating profusely after walking around for dozens of li.
There is one elite fiery red barbarian bull five hundred metres ahead, but it is inside a herd. Night Startled Feather said, then secretly hid.
Lan Ling looked carefully and indeed saw a large herd of over a hundred wild bulls swimming in a small lake.
Even among the large herd this elite fiery red barbarian bull was very striking, red and glowing like a ball of raging fire. At this moment it was being fawned over by several female cows like the moon surrounded by stars.
What do we do next? Lan Ling asked.
Wait, wait for it to become isolated. Night Startled Feather said, Once wild bulls go mad they run extremely fast. If over a hundred wild bulls charge over madly I will not be able to protect you. Elite fiery red barbarian bulls grind their hooves and horns every day. At that time it will definitely drive the herd away.
Next the two of them hid motionless in the grass.
One hour, two hours, three hours…
After a full four hours the elite fiery red barbarian bull finally had enough of soaking in the water and climbed ashore.
The female cows behind it wanted to follow but were driven back by its roar. Then it walked alone towards a cliff several li away.
That was where it ground its hooves and horns every day.
Lan Ling and Night Startled Feather gradually followed and then hid behind a huge rock.
At this time this elite fiery red barbarian bull was already several li away from the herd. It looked around, confirmed there were no enemies, and began grinding its horns.
Creak, creak… With piercing sounds the hard rock wall was chiselled with deep marks by its sharp horns, and countless loose stones flew everywhere.
After grinding for about fifteen minutes it temporarily stopped, as if savouring the aftertaste after grinding its horns.
It seemed that this kind of horn grinding not only made them sharper but also felt very good.
It was at this moment that Lan Ling took a deep breath, circulated dragon power and fiercely drew the one hundred and twenty jin strong bow.
Then he gathered all his spiritual power and locked onto the right eye of that fiery red barbarian bull.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds… Lock completed.
In his spiritual illusion realm there was only this huge eye.
He released his hand and the bowstring vibrated.
The sharp steel arrow instantly shot out like lightning.
Although this fiery red barbarian bull was in a very excited state, when the sharp arrow reached its eye it still instantly closed its eyes.
The sharp arrow shot directly onto its eyelid, left a bloody gash and bounced straight out.
Sure enough it was the same again.
Immediately after, the enraged fiery red barbarian bull roared and then charged over madly like a super speed tank.
The thirty metre distance was still covered in only two seconds.
Lan Ling wanted to repeat the miracle from last time. Without using spiritual power to aim he directly used up all his dragon power reserves and shot an arrow fiercely according to feeling.
However the miracle did not happen again.
This arrow hit the top of the fiery red barbarian bull’s head and directly broke.
And this several thousand jin fiery red barbarian bull charged over madly, about to trample Lan Ling into minced meat in an instant.
Just then Night Startled Feather’s curved blade flashed across like a rainbow.
Immediately the huge bull head was cleanly severed, and blood sprayed wildly.
The corpse of the fiery red barbarian bull was thrown more than ten metres away.
Lan Ling panted heavily, looked at the corpse of the fiery red barbarian bull and asked silently, Demon Star, can you now devour the bloodline dragon power of this fiery red barbarian bull?
The Demon Star said, I cannot, because it was not killed by you.
What kind of principle is this? Lan Ling immediately felt extremely disappointed. There were only these seven or eight elite fiery red barbarian bulls in the entire Wild Bull Valley, yet one had been wasted just like that.
At this time the sky had already turned dark. Today’s hunt was over. Lan Ling dragged his exhausted body back to the camp.
…
Jing Yu, is there any arrow that can directly pierce through the eyelid of this kind of wild bull? Lan Ling asked.
The first time he killed an elite fiery red barbarian bull was completely due to luck. And this kind of luck was rare and hard to happen a second time.
The real method was still to lock onto the eye for a one hit kill. However the fiery red barbarian bull reacted too quickly and would close its eyelid before the arrow entered the eye. If the arrow was hard and sharp enough to pierce the eyelid it could still achieve a one hit kill.
There are, arrows with black gold plated tips that are incomparably sharp. Night Startled Feather said, But they are very expensive. In the royal city they cost five silver coins each. Here they probably cost ten silver coins.
Lan Ling was shocked. The price was too expensive, almost equivalent to the head of a barbarian.
This time when heading south Lan Ling had brought one hundred gold coins. This was actually already a very large amount of money.
Where can I buy black gold arrow tips? Do we need to go to the South Yi border city? Lan Ling asked.
Night Startled Feather shook her head and said, No need. Dozens of li from here there is a settlement with a trading place.
Thus Lan Ling and Night Startled Feather mounted their horses and headed to the settlement dozens of li away.
…
This settlement was called Falling Leaf Village. Although called a village it actually had almost no normal villagers.
The people living here were of three kinds: hunters, miners, merchants and their families. The entire settlement was larger than Lan Ling had imagined, with about one thousand or more people. The whole settlement was surrounded by tall stone walls with a river outside the walls.
It looked completely like a small fortress.
Although the Furious Wave Kingdom was completely on the offensive side now, this place had already left the city area and was too close to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The entire settlement was very crowded. Both sides of the roads were filled with all kinds of stalls, almost all selling food and weapons. Of course prostitutes, which could not be missing anywhere, were also present.
Night Startled Feather did not immediately go to the weapon shop. Instead she first entered a restaurant, ordered several dishes and then ate heartily.
After the two sat down they almost said nothing and just devoured the food like a whirlwind.
It seemed that not only Lan Ling but even Night Startled Feather could not stand her own cooking skills.
Just as the two were eating heartily a voice full of pleasant surprise suddenly came from beside them, Ye Ye…
Hearing this voice Night Startled Feather’s expression changed and she immediately stopped her chopsticks.
Ye Ye, Little Eagle said he saw you in the South Yi border city. I immediately dropped all my affairs to look for you, but you were already gone. I never expected to see you here. A man who looked like a wanderer directly came over and sat in front of Night Startled Feather. Without hiding the burning look in his eyes he said, Ye Ye, you have become thinner…
Is this the boss that Little Eagle mentioned, Night Startled Feather’s ex boyfriend?
He was not extremely handsome and even had a scar on his face. But the whole person had a lot of charm. With dishevelled hair he wore beast skin armour and had a tattoo on his neck of a night rose with thorns and dripping blood.
His whole body was filled with strong wanderer charm. The whole person not only looked wild but also had a bit of evil allure, exactly the type that women liked the most. Especially the way he looked at women, as if he wanted to burn them.
His team had about ten or so people. They all looked rather casual except for one woman.
This woman was dressed in tight leather clothing like Night Startled Feather, but her appearance was very sweet. And her gaze had been fixed on this wanderer leader from the beginning. The occasional glances towards Night Startled Feather were also full of hostility.
It was obviously a very clichéd love triangle in the past.
My name is Tuo Ba Ye… and you are? The wanderer saw Lan Ling and enthusiastically extended his hand.
Who he is has nothing to do with you. Night Startled Feather said coldly.
Lan Ling smiled at him but did not reply.
You must be Ye Ye’s lord. Tuo Ba Ye said. Clearly he knew about Suo Lun’s existence. Then the strength of his handshake suddenly tightened.
Immediately Lan Ling’s palm felt a burst of intense pain as if it was about to be crushed. Clearly this Tuo Ba Ye in front of him was also very clear about the reputation of Suo Lun the playboy.
Can we discuss one thing? Tuo Ba Ye walked over, put his arm around Lan Ling’s shoulder and said, Night Startled Feather is my lover but she is your family’s warrior. Back then when she was cultivating in the barbarian wilderness border she was once a member of our team. At that time she and Jing Feng were so free and so happy. However now this free spirited elf has to be bound by you. Can you please set her free and release her bonds? Let her be a carefree warrior?
Night Startled Feather’s expression changed and she said, Tuo Ba Ye, what nonsense are you talking? I am a person of the Suo clan in life and a ghost of the Suo clan in death. My family has been loyal to the Suo clan for generations. Do not tarnish the glory of my family.
Immediately Tuo Ba Ye sneered and said, Ye Ye, do you think the free flying birds in the sky are nobler, or the eagles raised in captivity are nobler? As warriors we should be as free as the wind.
A warrior should bear the duty of protection. Your so called freedom is only a selfish looseness. Night Startled Feather said coldly, Since we do not see eye to eye there is no need to say more. Let us part ways here.
With that Night Startled Feather directly pulled Lan Ling, turned and left to go to the weapon shop to buy black gold arrow tips.
