Chapter 88 Hunting

"Hey, why is the juice red?"

The thin dog suddenly exclaimed.

Fang Zhixing's pupils contracted slightly, and he saw that the flowing juice was as bright red and sticky as blood.

He couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

Liang Buqing smiled and said, "This is an inherent characteristic of the plants in the restricted area. Whether it is trees or other plants, the sap is scarlet."

Fang Zhixing was very surprised. He walked to a tree, drew his sword and chopped it down.

Swish! The bark cracked and a piece of it fell off.

The exposed phloem layer oozed a trace of bloody juice, just like human blood. The more you looked at it, the weirder it looked, and it was beyond words.

"Rough, isn't it?"

The dog was shocked and said in amazement: "Could these trees have become spirits? Are they all Nie Xiaoqian's tree demon grandma?!"

This situation is truly incredible.

Fang Zhixing also felt confused and weird.

"The tree demon grandma..."

He couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

He knew too little about this mysterious and confusing world, not even the tip of the iceberg.

He couldn't help but ask: "Will these trees move? Will they hurt people?"

"That won't happen."

Liang Buqing smiled and replied: "Trees are still trees, they just bleed."

Fang Zhixing seemed to be thinking about something.

The two men and the dog continued to move forward.

As we walked, there was suddenly no road ahead and the ground was overgrown with weeds.

Looking around...

Large amounts of Artemisia grow wildly and can be seen everywhere.

The foxtail grass sways in the wind.

Bermuda grass and crabgrass are piled up layer upon layer, covering every corner.

There are also cacti, cockleburs, roses, thistles, and many other thorny weeds that spread unscrupulously on the ground, blocking the way.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing looked back at the road he came from.

The place where he stood was only about 400 meters away from the edge of the basin.

They hadn't even walked a mile yet! There was no road ahead?! Fang Zhixing was surprised and said, "So many hunters come in and out here. Why didn't they form a road?"

Liang Buqing explained: "Master, from here on, we have officially entered the Black Wind Forbidden Land.

The flowers and plants in the Black Wind Forbidden Land have extremely tenacious and vigorous vitality.

No matter how many people step on them, the weeds and flowers will not die.

Even if you set a fire to burn the area, two or three days later, flowers and plants will grow back like bamboo shoots after rain."

Liang Buqing spread his hands and said, "The previous county magistrate wanted to try to build a road and sent many craftsmen over. As a result, hundreds of people worked for half a month, but found that the grass on the ground could not be removed, so they had to give up in the end."

Fang Zhixing understood and frowned, "That is to say, there is no way forward at all. Every time we enter the restricted area, we must make a way out on our own."

"Yeah, that's right!"

Liang Buqing nodded and sighed, "This is also one of the reasons why the restricted area is extremely dangerous. Many people get lost in it after going deep into the restricted area and can never get out."

Hearing this, Fang Zhixing looked up at the sky, only to find that the trees were towering, blocking out the sun.

Although beams of sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees, he could not see the sun's direction and it was difficult to tell east, west, south, and north.

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a way to avoid getting lost?"

Liang Buqing nodded and said, "Three generations of my family have been hunters in the restricted area. I have been following my grandfather and father to explore and hunt here since I was a child, and I know this place like the back of my hand."

Fang Zhixing understood and nodded, "You lead the way."

"yes."

Liang Buqing walked in front, holding a cane in his hand, sweeping the grass and trees in front of him as he walked.

He was wearing long boots with thick soles, so he was not afraid of stepping on sharp objects or other hard objects.

The height of the boots can also protect the ankles, so that they will not be scratched when walking near thorny plants.

Fang Zhixing went even further, wearing armor and fully armed, protecting himself from head to toe.

Instead, it was the thin dog that got into trouble.

His paws were not very strong, and after stepping on the thorns hidden in the weeds several times, his luck finally ran out.

A sharp thorn pierced into his palm.

“Ahhh~”

"What the hell!"

The thin dog raised its left front paw, staggered, and howled in pain.

"What happened? Did you get pricked?"

Fang Zhixing was speechless and said disdainfully: "After all, you are also a genuine hyena. Are your abilities to survive in the wild so weak?"

The thin dog was furious and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. If you have the guts, take off your armor and try it yourself."

Fang Zhixing squatted down, grabbed the thin dog's left front paw, turned it over, and pinched the sharp thorn.

“Gently, gently…”

The thin dog looked at the thorn with horror.

"What a coward!"

Fang Zhixing sneered and pulled out the thorn with force.

The little dog suddenly grimaced in pain and cried for his parents.

"What a bad luck! Oh my god!"

Xigou regretted that he should not have come out this time.

Dogs should stay at home and guard the house.

What a bullshit wilderness adventure. It's totally a waste of time and you're just asking for trouble.

"Hold me, hold me!"

The thin dog didn't want to walk, and couldn't walk because his legs were bent.

"What a waste!"

Fang Zhixing had no choice but to pick up the thin dog and put it on his shoulders.

About twenty minutes later, Liang Buqing stopped, pointed to a swamp in front of him on the right, and whispered:

"This swamp is inhabited by the 'Double-tailed Gray-scaled Python', a first-level exotic beast.

However, warriors in the swamp are restricted by the environment and their strength is greatly reduced, so the difficulty of hunting the double-tailed gray-scaled python is assessed as level two."

Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "Can't we lure the snake out of its hole? We can lure the two-tailed gray-scaled python out and then hunt it."

Liang Buqing shook his head and said, "It's not like no one has tried this method before, but the two-tailed gray-scaled python likes to stay in the mud and won't come out easily."

Fang Zhixing understood, stood at the edge of the swamp, observed for a moment, but did not find a double-tailed gray-scaled python.

Turn the corner and go left.

Ten minutes later, a high ground appeared ahead.

From a distance, a pungent stench filled the air, making people feel sick.

Liang Buqing became extremely cautious, lowering his head and looking left and right at the ground.

Soon, he discovered something and immediately squatted down.

Fang Zhixing took a glance and saw that the thing in front of Liang Buqing was a pool of feces, which was a bit sticky and hot.

Liang Buqing reached out, grabbed the feces, and quickly smeared it on his body.

Seeing this scene, Fang Zhixing and Xigou couldn't help but look at each other and exclaimed "Oh my god".

Surprised: "What are you doing?"

Liang Buqing was extremely cautious and lowered his voice and said, "That high ground is the territory of the Golden Crown Chicken.

Golden-crowned chickens come in male and female varieties. The females are more numerous and all are first-level exotic beasts. There is only one male, but he is a second-level exotic beast and has a very brutal temperament. They particularly like to peck at people’s eyeballs.”

Fang Zhixing perked up and asked, "Does the Golden Crown Chicken have a weakness?"

Liang Buqing responded: "Their eyesight is relatively poor. If you stay a little further away from them, you won't be discovered."

Fang Zhixing understood and said with a smile: "Since we are here, let's kill a few chickens and take them back for dinner."

Liang Buqing was shocked and said, "The golden-crowned chicken is a bird of prey and a group of exotic animals. It is very difficult to deal with. If you rely on yourself, I'm afraid..."

Fang Zhixing said calmly: "Let's stay far away and hunt with bows and arrows."

Seeing this, Liang Buqing had no choice but to retreat quickly, running three or four hundred meters away.

Fang Zhixing walked behind a big tree and estimated the distance, which was about 150 meters.

He calmly took out an arrow and put it on the bow.

Then he ordered, "Little dog, bark a few times."

The little dog was very reluctant and muttered, "Damn, you only know how to order a dog around, right?"

He raised his head and barked, "Wang, Wang, Wang."

Soon, there was movement on the high ground.

“Oh~Gah~~”

As the sound of a rooster crowed, Fang Zhixing's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

He saw several hens that were really big, nearly a meter tall, with golden crowns on their heads.

The dog was surprised and smacked his lips, "Is this Brother Kun? How come he is older than me?"

Fang Zhixing looked surprised and took a deep breath, "Don't stop, keep shouting."

The thin dog kept barking.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seven or eight golden-crowned hens ran over following the sound. They spread their wings and ran on the ground, running much faster than humans.

One hundred meters, one hundred and ten meters, fifty meters!

Whoosh! An arrow suddenly shot out, passing through the air at a nearly straight angle.

“Gah!!”

A golden-crowned hen suddenly stopped, its wing hit by an arrow, pierced through and nailed to the ground.

She thrashed about madly and screamed non-stop.

The other golden-crowned chickens stopped and stared at her, turning their heads this way and that.

Whoosh! Another arrow shot out, accurately hitting the wing of a golden-crowned hen nearby, also nailing it to the ground.

The two hens cackled loudly.

The other hens were frightened and ran away in all directions.

"Hehe~"

Suddenly, a sharp scream came from the high ground, and the high-pitched cry echoed through the forest.

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression changed drastically.

A tall golden-crowned rooster appeared in the field of vision, with bright and shiny feathers and a sparkling golden crown on its head.

Its arms, forelimbs and long tail are covered with hard feathers like arrows. It has sharp teeth in its mouth, claws on its wings, and a long and stiff tail.

What is incredible is that the outline of this golden-crowned rooster looks very much like Archaeopteryx!

Archaeopteryx was a dinosaur!

"Oh my god, has this Kun regressed to its ancestral form?"

The little dog screamed in shock.

This scene undoubtedly gives people the illusion of entering the Jurassic World.

An Archaeopteryx dinosaur jumped off the high ground and swooped down towards the two golden-crowned hens, followed by dozens of golden-crowned hens in a mighty force.

After a brief shock, Fang Zhixing reacted quickly, drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.

One arrow, and then another! Two arrows were fired in less than a second!

All in one go! With the powerful blessing of the ebony bow, the arrow's acceleration was very high, and the sound of breaking through the air was loud.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The golden-crowned rooster suddenly braked and then did something incredible.

It spread its two large wings, wrapped them around its body, and finally suddenly spun half a circle in the air.

Dang! Dang! Two arrows hit the Archaeopteryx almost at the same time, hitting its wings and making a sharp sound of metal hitting metal, but in the next moment, they bounced off and flew out.

"Wow, these wings are so hard, are they made of iron?" the little dog couldn't help but exclaim.

Fang Zhixing also looked serious. He immediately drew out an arrow, put it on the bow, pulled it to perfection, and slowly accumulated strength.

Archaeopteryx raised its head and looked around for the attacker, but for a moment it was unable to determine Fang Zhixing's location.

"Explosive Skill: Curved Shot!"

"Explosive Skill: Armor Break!"

Fang Zhixing performed two explosive skills at the same time.

Instantly, the arrow shot out with a terrifying sharp force, first flying to the right, drawing an elliptical trajectory in the air, and then bypassing three large trees...

Archaeopteryx suddenly became alert, flapped its wings, folded them together to protect its body, and retracted its head at the same time.

Puff! The arrow hit the wing, and a ball of blood spurted out.

“Ah~”

The next moment, the arrow pierced straight into the wing and passed through.

The Archaeopteryx let out a scream, raised its left wing high, and swung it back and forth, bringing up a string of blood drops.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The opportunity was not to be missed. Fang Zhixing kept shooting arrows, shooting three arrows in one breath.

All of them are armor-piercing arrows! "Gah!"

The Archaeopteryx suddenly cried out, and the cry was so loud that the golden-crowned hens around it flapped their wings and jumped up one by one, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Three armor-piercing arrows shot out, two of which hit the golden-crowned hens directly, piercing them through.

The last arrow grazed the body of a golden-crowned hen and was fanned by its wings, then deviated from its trajectory and landed at the feet of the Archaeopteryx, sticking diagonally into the ground, and the tail of the arrow trembled violently into a circle.

Archaeopteryx suddenly turned its head and stared at Fang Zhixing, and unexpectedly discovered his hiding place.

"Is this called poor vision?"

Fang Zhixing tightened his lips, dropped his bow and arrow, and rushed out.

Archaeopteryx also ran straight over, followed by the golden-crowned hen.

The two sides quickly approached each other and were together in the blink of an eye.

Several golden-crowned hens fluttered and rushed over. They jumped high, stretched out their claws, and swept towards Fang Zhixing's face.

“Leave it to me!”

The thin dog barked twice, and suddenly four identical thin dogs split out from its side. They jumped into the air, opened their mouths wide, showing their red fangs, and pounced forward to bite.

The next moment, several golden-crowned hens were bitten by the thin dogs and fell to the ground.

Fang Zhixing ran faster and faster, unsheathed his sword and stabbed straight forward.

"Explosive Skill: Straight to the Point!"

The large ring knife suddenly accelerated, instantly shortening the distance between them, and then sank into the chest of the Archaeopteryx.

Puff~ blood splattered all over Fang Zhixing's face.

The large ring knife stabbed into the chest of Archaeopteryx, but Archaeopteryx was extremely tenacious and flapped its wings.

Fang Zhixing only felt a sharp breath approaching his face, like a sword cutting at him. He immediately squatted down, drew his sword, rolled on the spot, and came to the right side of the Archaeopteryx.

In a flash, the large ring knife touched the ground, and the sword rubbed against the ground, creating a spark.

"Explosive skill: Drag sword slash!"

A ray of cold light drew a perfect semicircular trajectory and flashed past the ribs of the Archaeopteryx.

Phew!

Half of the Archaeopteryx's wings drooped rapidly, blood gushed out like a fountain, and its body swayed.

"Explosive Skill: Iron Mountain Lean!"

Fang Zhixing shook his feet, shrugged, rushed forward, and confronted!

Bang! The Archaeopteryx flew backwards and crashed heavily into a big tree. Blood was coming out of its mouth and nose, its whole body was twitching, and it couldn't get up again.

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and looked around with the knife in hand.

But I saw the golden-crowned hens scatter and run away.

"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

Fang Zhixing sneered and glanced at Liang Buqing in the distance.

Confirm your location, Liang Buqing can't see you.

He squatted down and cut off the Archaeopteryx's neck with one knife.

Immediately, the system panel flashed with light.

[2. Defeat or kill 18 lives of the same level (2/18)]

[5. Collect 1 liter of blood from 10 level 2 exotic beasts (1/10)]

[9. Level 2 Exotic Beast 9300 Jin, or Level 2 Top-quality Meat Pills 4100 (257/9300)]
