Chapter 54: Showing the Beast, Stunning Everyone (Please Read)

Outside Xionghu Mountain, after a long, continuous rain.

Seeing Li Xian take out two deer carcasses, Hua Hanying was startled, but remembering his own bountiful catch, he puffed out his chest and looked down at Li Xian with arrogance.

Jiang Yun stood with her arms crossed. There were many wild animals in the mountains. If she was lucky enough, it wouldn't be surprising to hunt two wild deer.

There are quite a few wild deer on their own.

With each of them lost in their own thoughts, Li Xian reached into his pocket again and pulled out another deer carcass.

"If an arrow pierces the heart, use a Lingyu arrow to finish the kill."

"Shooting it from fifty paces away, you three deer were quite the hunters."

Lady Wen saw that another arrow had pierced the heart, and that all three deer had been killed in the same way, which was enough to prove that Li Xian was truly skilled.

She had always loved winter hunting and believed that men should be heroic. And that heroism should be shown in the hunt.

Although these servants were all lowly in her eyes, a valiant servant was always better than a despicable one.

Among ordinary second-class guards, only a handful could muster enough to collect three wild deer.

For someone in Class C of Lixian District to achieve this level is already quite impressive.

Everyone spoke in unison, expressing praise, amazement, and astonishment.

Luo Fang sensed something was wrong: "This little beast is getting more and more powerful."

"Thank you for your kind words, Madam," Li Xian replied.

Madam Wen nodded, her brows relaxing. "Take out any other beasts you have."

Li Xian nodded, reached into the flesh pouch, and this time... took out a mountain tiger!

"It's a mountain tiger! Li Xian actually hunted a mountain tiger!"

"This Li Xian is truly formidable. We are both Class C guards. If it were me, I would have no choice but to flee when I encountered a mountain tiger."

"Could it be a sick tiger or something like that? Otherwise, how could he possibly hunt a mountain tiger with his strength?"

The moment the tiger's carcass appeared, the scene erupted in chaos, filled with disbelief and utterances.

Hua Hanying and Pang Long's hunting of the mountain tiger was taken for granted by everyone, so it did not cause much of a stir.

Li Xian was merely a third-class guard, yet he unexpectedly killed Tou Shan Hu, which is quite noteworthy.

Lady Wen drew an arrow, gently flicked the tiger's body, flipped it over, revealing an arrow hole, and raised her eyebrows, "Quite impressive archery skills."

"It was a one-shot kill, the angle was tricky, you took advantage of the tiger drinking water and then suddenly shot the arrow to kill it."

"If you can do that, your archery skills are not bad. You can achieve an accuracy of over nine-tenths within fifty paces."

"Not bad, not bad."

Madam Wen stroked the yellow jade bow ornament and looked at Li Xian, "You were once a hunter?"

"Yes, Madam, I am a hunter by trade," Li Xian replied truthfully.

“That explains it,” Madam Wen said. “Your success is largely due to your archery skills, but it is also largely due to your hunting and tracking abilities.”

"Are there any other large beasts?"

Li Xiandao said, "There's more."

"Anything else?"... Everyone murmured amongst themselves.

Hua Hanying and the others looked grim, their fists clenched, and an inexplicable fire of jealousy, resentment, and discontent rose in their hearts.

However, the next moment, he was so startled that he took several steps back, his body trembling slightly.

It's a tiger again!

And it was no ordinary tiger, but a large, striped tiger! It was more than half the size larger than an ordinary tiger.

"A striped tiger?"

The room was silent. No one dared to interrupt Madam Wen when she spoke. All that could be heard was her clear comment: "This kind of tiger is quite intelligent and has very unusual markings. When it runs fast, it dazzles people."

She inserted an arrow into the tiger's leg, and with a slight twist of her wrist, moved the magnificent tiger beneath her.

"When the tiger attacked you, you dodged and, in a moment of quick thinking, kicked out with a Qingfeng Leg."

"Then they created distance, fired several arrows to block the path, and the last arrow was deadly, killing the tiger on the spot."

"A very beautiful hunt."

Madam Wen nodded, looked at Li Xian, and her eyes showed a hint of approval. "You gave me a very pleasant surprise this winter hunt."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he paused, focusing his attention on the tiger's belly. "There's even a tiger fetus inside. This tiger counts as two of yours."

"One Deer Blood Pill and one Tiger Blood Pill. You can have the reward calculated by the accountant. You will also receive one opportunity to enter and leave the Leisure Martial Pavilion."

Having seen this, Madam Wen believed it was the limit. People like Hua Hanying and Pang Long were only at this level, and it would be difficult for them to produce any more powerful beasts. Therefore, she withdrew her gaze and prepared to return to the manor.

“Madam, I still have a great beast,” Li Xian said frankly.

"Oh~" Madam Wen said with great interest, "There are also large beasts?"

“Yes.” Li Xianchao reached into his bag and pulled out another tiger-shaped beast.

But this tiger beast, with only its front paws exposed, was already enough to send shivers down one's spine. The claws were jet black, gleaming with a sharp edge, and larger than two heads.

When the true face is fully revealed...

It was no ordinary mountain tiger, but a demon-striped leopard!

"What...what kind of tiger beast is this? Even in death, it still possesses such formidable power!"

"When it stared at me, I felt a chill run down my spine, as if I had needles sticking out of my back, and I was extremely uncomfortable."

"What a terrifying tiger beast! Can such a ferocious creature really be killed by arrows?"

"This tiger beast is probably even more powerful than the bear beasts of Commander Pang and Eagle Lord!"

...

The crowd was noisy.

"Gui Wenbiao?" Madam Wen's lips moved slightly, and the previous noise immediately subsided. "You encountered Gui Wenbiao and managed to survive."

Upon further examination of Gui Wenbiao's injuries, one of his eyeballs had burst, and all the tendons and bones in his body were broken, clearly indicating that he had fallen from a great height.

They were then shot and killed while they were at it.

The fatal arrow wound immediately followed the fall, clearly indicating that everything was anticipated.

This child's archery skills, temperament, and composure in the face of crisis far surpass those of others.

"What other beasts are there? Dump them all out," Madam Wen said.

"yes!"

Li Xian channeled his inner energy into the shrunken flesh bag and shook it with all his might.

Suddenly, the carcass of a black velvet bear fell to the ground. This black velvet bear, with its body covered in dense black fur and tough hide, was a rare species of bear and very difficult to hunt.

The crowd was numb. Hua Hanying trembled slightly, his arrogance completely crushed.

But that's not all.

With another shake, another bear carcass appeared. This bear carcass was much smaller, with a long snout and sharp teeth, and at first glance, it looked like a monkey.

"It's a bear cub..." one of the guards breathed a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't all large beasts.

"What do you know? This is a sharp-snouted, long-tongued bear, one of the fiercest types of bears!"

Pang Long said solemnly.

Jiang Yun trembled, her legs going weak. She had originally ventured deep into the mountains to hunt bears, specifically to find bear dens.

Then they encountered this bear-like beast and witnessed firsthand how it devoured humans.

She almost lost her life there as well.

Luckily, they managed to hide in a crevice in the mountain wall, which allowed them to escape.

"A monster, an absolute monster!"

"Is there really anyone capable of shooting down this bear-like beast?"

Jiang Yun looked at Li Xian, who had a calm expression.

“Since you killed the cub, the mother bear must be on you,” Pang Long said.

Li Xian nodded and took out the last prey.

The female bear was enormous, with a sharp snout and teeth, a tongue three feet long, and ferocious eyes.

Only then were all of Li Xian's prey fully revealed.

"Good lad, you're really something!"

Overjoyed, Pang Long patted Li Xian on the shoulder.

It was absolutely spectacular; watching these prey was truly exhilarating.

Lady Wen looked over and saw that Li Xian was young and vigorous, with a remarkable temperament and archery skills, and quite heroic bearing. She made her assessment in her heart:

"This boy is quite good among these guards."
