It wasn’t the first time that the Ninth County Mistress had participated in the King’s Mountain Hunt, so she was very clear about the general area of activity of the savage beasts.
“In front of us is the Tiger’s Whistling Slope, and when I passed by there earlier, I heard the whistling sound of the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger. However, the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger is a first-rank medium savage beast, a few points more powerful than even the Iron-Skinned Savage Bull, and I couldn’t kill it at all with my strength, so I didn’t go to mess with it.” The Nine County Lord said.
Zhang Ruochen and the Nine County Lord leapt off the back of the antelope horse and carefully walked into the Tiger’s Whistle Slope to look for traces of the Saber Tooth Red Tiger.
On the ground, Zhang Ruochen found traces of a fight.
A bowl-thick tree trunk had been smashed, its leaves burnt to ashes, and bloodstains remained on the side of a huge boulder not far away.
“Could it be that someone has already gotten the jump on them and the Saber Tooth Red Tiger has been hunted?” The Nine County Lord said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “That’s not the blood of a saber-toothed red tiger, it’s human blood. Be careful, the Saber Tooth Red Tiger should still be nearby!”
“Whew!”
As soon as Zhang Ruochen’s words fell, a crimson colored giant tiger pounced down from the steep slope above, its sharp claws grasping towards Zhang Ruochen’s neck.
In his previous life, Zhang Ruochen was a strong person of the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle, and even if he was reborn, his soul and spirit power were still at the level of the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle, so his ability to sense danger was very sharp.
The moment before the saber-toothed red tiger pounced down, he immediately shifted one step horizontally to the right, dodging the saber-toothed red tiger’s attack.
Not only that, he also immediately pulled out a Thunderbolt Arrow from the quiver on his back, injected his true qi into the arrow, and backhanded it into the saber-toothed red tiger’s abdomen.
Immediately afterward, his feet stomped on the ground and immediately retreated backwards.
The entire process happened in a flash of lightning, and before the Nine Sheriff Lords could react, Zhang Ruochen had already stabbed the Thunder Thrilling Arrow into the abdomen of the Saber Tooth Red Tiger.
“Boom!”
The arrowhead of the Thunder Thrilling Arrow exploded, blowing out a palm-sized wound in the abdomen of the Saber Tooth Red Tiger, and blood kept flowing out from the abdomen.
However, that one Thunderstorm Arrow was, after all, only inserted into the body of the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger by Zhang Ruochen’s hand, and it was not as strong as the impact of the Iron Thread Bow that was shot out.
Therefore, the Thunderbolt Arrow was only inserted three inches below the skin layer of the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger, and did not cause any fatal damage to it.
“Ow!”
The saber-toothed red tiger’s body was three times larger than the average tiger, with two rows of half-foot-long sharp teeth in its mouth, and each of its claws was like a blade.
The saber-toothed red tiger, its attack power was comparable to that of a martial artist of the Yellow Extreme Realm Great Extreme Position, and its speed was also comparable to that of a martial artist of the Yellow Extreme Realm Great Extreme Position. If an ordinary martial artist encountered a saber-toothed red tiger, he would almost be dead.
Looking at the Saber Tooth Red Tiger standing ten meters away, the Nine County Lord’s face became a few shades paler.
That was a savage beast that was comparable to a Great Extreme Realm martial artist, and at such a close distance, even the Thunder Shocking Arrow could not exert its true power.
Bows and arrows were more suitable for long distance attacks.
Sparring!
She immediately took out a Thunderbolt Arrow, hitched it to the bowstring, and pulled the Wire Bow into a full moon.
“Shoo!”
The Thrilling Thunder Arrow was like a bolt of lightning as it sped out.
The saber-toothed red tiger leapt up and dodged the attack of the Thunder-stricken Arrow with great speed.
In an instant, it rushed over a distance of ten meters and reached the Nine Sheriff Lords, slapping the Wire Bow in the Nine Sheriff Lords’ hands out with a claw, revealing a bloody mouth that bit down towards the Nine Sheriff Lords.
Immediately, the Ninth Sheriff Master rolled over and leapt backwards, pointing a finger on the ground, and once again leapt again, reaching seven or eight meters away, dodging the attack of the Saber Tooth Red Tiger.
However, the speed of the saber-toothed red tiger was even a few points faster than the Ninth Sheriff’s Master, and in an instant, it caught up with her and swung out a huge claw, striking at the top of the Ninth Sheriff’s Master’s head.
The cultivation level of the Ninth County Lord had only just crossed into the Middle Extreme Position, and whether it was strength or speed, it was a step behind the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger.
If she was at a further distance, she would still be able to use the Thunder Shocking Arrow, posing a considerable threat to the Saber Tooth Red Tiger.
However, in a close-range battle, a Middle Extremity level martial artist who did not use a True Martial Treasure Weapon could not possibly be a match for the Saber-toothed Red Tiger.
Before the saber-toothed red tiger’s claw, even before it slapped down, the Nine Sheriff Lord’s cheeks were already somewhat pained by the strong wind.
Just when the Ninth County Lord thought that he would definitely die, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a silhouette speedily charging over, and even directly slammed into the huge body of the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger.
“Barbarian Elephant Chi Di!”
Zhang Ruochen struck the back of the Saber Tooth Red Tiger with a palm strike, and the palm of his hand felt like it was emitting a Barbarian Elephant’s roar as it erupted with the strength of sixteen oxen, sending the Saber Tooth Red Tiger hurling out.
“Boom!”
The body of the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger crashed into a tree trunk not far away, crushing the trunk and falling heavily to the ground.
Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed over, using his palm as a sword, and all the true qi in his entire body revolved.
“Boom!”
A palm sliced at the location of the saber-toothed red tiger’s neck, shattering the saber-toothed red tiger’s windpipe through the power of the palm blade.
After the trachea was shattered, the saber-toothed red tiger was trembling all over, and after getting up on the ground, it rushed through the forest for a few moments before finally collapsing and dying.
The Ninth County Lord stared at Zhang Ruochen with some shock, there was no way for her not to be shocked, knowing that Zhang Ruochen had killed the Saber Tooth Red Tiger with his bare hands.
“Ninth Brother, are you really at the Realm of the Lesser Extreme Position? Did you really only open the Divine Martial Seal three months ago?” The Ninth County Lord said.
Zhang Ruochen said indifferently, “As I said, both savage beasts and martial artists have weaknesses, so as long as you find its weakness, it won’t be a difficult task to kill it. The weakness of the Saber Tooth Red Tiger is the air duct at the bottom of its neck.”
“But, I clearly saw you send it flying out with a slap just now, such a powerful force, it’s at least ten bulls’ strength, right?”
The Nine Sheriff Lord added, “I’ve already reached the Yellow Extremity Realm’s Middle Extremity Position, and I still can’t burst out with the power of ten oxen. You’re only at the Small Extreme Realm, how did you do it?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “As long as the martial body is strong enough, it’s not that strange for a martial artist at the Small Extreme Position to erupt with the force of ten oxen.”
The Ninth County Lord did not continue to pursue the matter, as Zhang Ruochen’s powerful strength had already left a deep impression on her mind anyway. This one half-brother and half-sister Ninth Brother, who was only a day younger than her, made her feel more and more unable to see through him.
Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth County Lord found the already dead saber-toothed red tiger in the forest not far away.
In the abdomen of the saber-toothed red tiger, there was still a Thunderbolt Arrow sticking out, the very same one that Zhang Ruochen had inserted with his bare hands earlier.
“What an abomination, if I had my Aqua Sword on me, I would definitely be able to fight it and even have a chance to kill it.” The Nine County Lord said with some reluctance.
The Ninth County Lord was one of the Twin Beauties of the King City, with both beauty and talent, yet she was forced into a sorry state by two savage beasts one after the other, and both times, she needed Zhang Ruochen to come to her rescue.
The self-esteem of this proud daughter of heaven must have suffered quite a blow, and her heart secretly vowed that the next time she encountered a savage beast, she would definitely hunt it down cleanly and beautifully.
“Let’s go! Ninth brother, let’s go hunt other savage beasts ……”
Zhang Ruochen immediately stretched out a palm and pressed down on the Ninth County Mistress’s fragrant shoulder, his eyes heavy as he said in a low voice, “Don’t move!”
The Ninth County Mistress was very puzzled and was about to ask, when suddenly, she saw a deer beast in the distance, whose entire body was burning with green flames, slowly walking towards her and Zhang Ruochen’s direction.
At the sight of that green flame deer, the Ninth County Lord’s delicate body trembled slightly, and even her breathing stopped.
“Squeak!”
That one Green Fire Deer had a pair of blood-red gem-like eyes, was more than two meters tall, with two emerald coral-like antlers growing from the top of its head, and all of it had green flames flowing from each and every one of its fur.
Where its feet stepped over, the dirt on the ground was immediately burnt to a scorched black color.
A first-ranked superior savage beast, the Green Flame Deer, had an attack power comparable to that of a Yellow Extreme Realm Great Extreme Position martial artist, and a speed comparable to that of a Yellow Extreme Realm Great Perfection martial artist.
The only weakness of the Green Fire Deer was that its defense was not strong enough, even such as the Saber Tooth Red Tiger.
However, in front of its terrifying speed, even if its defense was relatively weak, who would be able to attack it?
Before it could even strike, it would have already been killed by it.
“What to do?” The Nine County Lord didn’t even dare to utter a single breath, and a chilling aura rose straight up from the soles of her feet.
It couldn’t be helped, with their current cultivation level, encountering a first rank upper class savage beast would definitely be a dead end.
In previous years’ King Mountain hunts, there were also martial artists who were killed by savage beasts.
The Nine County Lords naturally didn’t want to die here, and immediately thought hard about a strategy, but in front of the terrifying speed of the Green Fire Deer, even if they wanted to escape, it was impossible to do so.
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen, however, remained calm, and instead, there was a bit of wariness in his eyes.
He unhooked the quiver of arrows from his back and handed it over to the Nine County Lord, saying, “I still have two Thunderstorm Arrows left, and you still have one Thunderstorm Arrow, so that makes three. With your archery skills, not to mention shooting the Green Fire Deer down, you should at least be able to pose some threat to it, right?”
“What are you going to do?”
The Nine County Lord stared at Zhang Ruochen who was walking towards the Green Flame Deer, her beautiful eyes widened, her heart was very puzzled, could it be that he wanted to hunt the Green Flame Deer?
That was an upper first-rank savage beast!
