An ocean survival game suddenly swept across the globe, drawing countless humans into it.
Waking up, Jiang An found herself lying on a raft. From that day on, an ordinary girl began her journ...
The incredibly sharp arrowhead shot straight toward the Iron-Patterned Bull's eye like lightning.
With a powerful and shocking impact, even the Iron-Patterned Bull, whose body was as large as a mountain, could not withstand such force and was forced to take several steps back!
"Moo moo moo~~" The Iron-Patterned Ox let out a heart-wrenching scream, the sound echoing through the sky as if it would shatter the entire world.
The excruciating pain in its eyes plunged it into extreme agony, making it even more frenzied than before.
It recklessly crashed into the light shield in front of it, again and again, each impact carrying a devastating force.
However, Jiang An remained calm and composed throughout.
Just after the first arrow hit its target, she quickly nocked a second arrow and fired it with lightning speed.
The arrow, like a streak of light, pierced the other eye of the Iron-Patterned Bull with perfect accuracy.
In an instant, two streams of scalding blood gushed from the Iron-Patterned Bull's eyes, like two red waterfalls, staining a large area of the ground red.
Having lost its sight and being surrounded by endless darkness, the Iron-Patterned Bull had completely lost its mind and descended into madness.
Finding itself unable to break through the light barrier in front of it, it turned to launching indiscriminate attacks on its own kind around it.
In an instant, the sounds of "moo~", "moo moo~", and "moo moo moo" rose and fell, disturbing the entire herd of iron-patterned cattle and turning them into a chaotic mess.
Some of the iron-striped bulls were unable to dodge in time and were knocked to the ground; others fled in panic, creating a chaotic scene.
Jiang An witnessed all of this, but his expression remained calm and undisturbed.
It seemed that all these changes were within her expectations, and she continued to draw her bow and shoot arrows methodically, one after another.
Before long, all ten arrows of that rare-grade bow were fired at the target.
However, this situation did not bother Jiang An at all, because she had already prepared enough spare bows and arrows in her backpack.
Although these spare arrows are not as sharp as those rare arrows, hitting the Iron-Patterned Bull's vulnerable eyes is still a piece of cake.
As time slowly slips away like quicksand, every minute and second seems exceptionally long.
Jiang An, meanwhile, remained completely focused on drawing her bow and releasing her arrows. With her advanced archery skills and perfect accuracy, she successfully eliminated most of the ferocious iron-patterned bulls in front of her using only archery.
The remaining small group of Iron-Patterned Oxen were now on the verge of death, their breaths weak. They collapsed helplessly on the swirling yellow sand, unable to stand up and continue fighting.
"Alright, now it's time for us to reap the rewards of our victory! Little Turtle and Little Mouse, you two are in charge of collecting all the arrows scattered across the battlefield. These arrows are our precious resource, and they can be used again!" Jiang An turned around and said directly to the two little ones following behind him.
Upholding the fine traditional virtues of diligence, thrift, and never wasting a single resource, those arrows that were shot could not simply be discarded.
Even if some arrows are no longer usable for shooting, the materials used in the arrows can still be disassembled, recycled, and reused.
As Jiang An spoke, the exquisite longbow in her hand, which had originally gleamed with a cold light, vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, a uniquely designed and exceptionally sharp longsword appeared in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, she flashed forward, moving with light and agile steps, quickly and nimbly traversing the winding staircase.
In the blink of an eye, she passed through the transparent light barrier that emitted a mysterious glow without any hindrance.
They arrived at the bloody battlefield ahead, littered with the carcasses of iron-patterned oxen.
The battlefield was filled with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder, which was nauseating.
However, there was no fear on her face; instead, she appeared completely at ease.
Her gaze swept over the remaining iron-patterned oxen, and with a swift and fluid motion, she wielded her knife.
The sharp blade traced a graceful arc in the air, gliding precisely across the neck of the iron-striped ox, instantly severing its major artery.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the Iron-Patterned Ox, which had just breathed its last, died completely.
Jiang stood quietly amidst the corpses scattered on the ground, looking down at the dozen or so iron-patterned oxen lying at her feet, a barely perceptible glint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
She murmured softly, "Decompose!" Her voice was soft, but full of anticipation.
Because she knew that the items extracted from these iron-patterned oxen would bring her unexpected surprises.
Putting aside the various delicious ways to cook beef, the extremely resilient cowhide alone is precious enough.
Because she clearly saw that the arrows shot from the tower landed on the Iron-Patterned Bull, leaving only a faint mark, which was like a tickle to the Iron-Patterned Bull.
Even with the rare bow and arrow in her hand, it would be extremely difficult to pierce through it with a single shot.
To avoid wasting her energy, she went straight for the Iron-Patterned Bull's weakness.
This demonstrates just how astonishing the defensive capabilities of this cowhide are.
Recalling the fierce battle tonight, if it weren't for my arrow towers as powerful defensive fortifications, that rare and precious bow, and my excellent geographical position that allowed me to launch ranged attacks, the outcome today would probably be uncertain.
After all, the strength of the Iron-Patterned Bull is beyond imagination.
Even though Jiang An's stamina is now over 50, she has no confidence that she can beat him.
[Ding! Decomposition successful! Total harvest: 15 Iron-Veined Steaks (Rare), 134 kg of Beef (Excellent), 6 Beef Hide (Rare)]
It's actually a rare item!
Jiang An was immediately overjoyed.
She happily stored the steak, beef, and hide she had obtained from the butchering into her storage ring.
After doing all this, she slowly turned her gaze to the ground.
On the soft, fluffy sand, several boxes gleaming with a dazzling bronze light stood quietly.
The treasure chests that have been discovered this time are significantly different from those in the past—they are no longer the lowest-level iron chests, but rather higher-level bronze chests!
"Mommy, Mommy, we've retrieved all the arrows!" Accompanied by a clear, melodious, childlike, and joyful shout, a huge object suddenly entered Jiang An's field of vision.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the little turtle, in its largest possible form, stood majestically before Jiang An, like a towering mountain reaching into the clouds.
At this moment, the little turtle's body was so huge that it was astonishing, as if it were a giant beast that had walked out of ancient mythology.
On its broad, boundless back sat a small mouse that was equally excited.
The tiny mouse was waving its arms and legs excitedly, clearly very happy to be sitting on the tall and spacious turtle's back.
Looking at the turtle's back, countless arrows were neatly arranged, so densely packed that it was dazzling.
However, in stark contrast to the mountain of arrows was the little turtle's voice, which was completely disproportionate to its enormous body.
Looking at the amusing scene before him, Jiang An couldn't help but smile, the curve of his lips widening.
She immediately praised them generously, saying, "You guys are fantastic! You did an excellent job on this mission and deserve high praise!"
