Chapter 25 Heroes Emerge from Among the Young
"Get out of the way!" Zeng Daxiong shouted immediately.
The crowd either lay down or rolled to their sides, dodging a barrage of fireballs.
Taking advantage of a lull in its attack, Xiao Bao immediately used his metal manipulation skills to melt the metal contained in the layer of scales surrounding the head of the Ghostly Rhinoceros.
Everyone noticed that part of the scales on the head of the Ghostly Rhinoceros had suddenly stopped reflecting light, making it look like a rascal's head, and it suddenly became much uglier.
At the same time, Ah Chen pounced on the head of the Ghost Rhinoceros like a little leopard, holding a sharp dagger, and suddenly plunged it into one of its eyes.
Before it roared in fury, he quickly fled, keeping a safe distance from it.
Zeng Daxiong and his four companions were stunned into silence, and for a moment they forgot to continue fighting.
They hadn't expected the child to be so fierce, launching a close-quarters battle right away. The Ghostly Rhinoceros's defense was too formidable; even seasoned adults like them dared not engage in close combat lightly, lest it tear out their heart, liver, and lungs with a single claw.
Driven mad by the excruciating pain in its eyes, the Spectral Rhinoceros lunged recklessly toward them, forcing everyone to hastily evade its path and retreat to the side to continue their attack.
However, after Ah Chen's first strike, everyone seemed less afraid and seized the opportunity to use their sharp blades to stab its weak points.
In an instant, the abdomen and anus of the Youguangxi were stabbed.
With Xiao Bao continuously melting the metal in its scales, the originally hard protective layer became soft, and more supernatural abilities easily penetrated its flesh.
The crowd finally discovered Xiao Bao's special ability, and while marveling at it, they intensified their attacks.
Half an hour later, the Glowing Rhino finally breathed its last, unwilling to accept its fate.
This was the easiest battle the Big Bear Hunting Team had ever had against a Class C monster. None of the team members were seriously injured; apart from a few blisters from the fireball, they only suffered minor abrasions.
These injuries were hardly considered injuries by the hunting team, and the hemostatic and recovery medicines they had prepared in advance were not needed.
The battle, which was originally expected to take at least three or four hours to complete, was finished in just half an hour. Everyone gathered around Achen and Xiaobao, looking at them with starry eyes.
“Brother Chaoyang, I never expected your battle beast to have a metal-type ability, and such a special metal form to control. If any mecha pilot knew about this, he would definitely hire you as assistants with a high salary!” Zeng Daxiong said.
“That’s right, that’s right. It’s been tough on you two following our team,” Jason chimed in.
"What I admire most is the bravery of Brother Chaoyang. He is so young, yet he dares to fight the Youguangxi in close combat. He is truly a hero among the young!" Gavin exclaimed.
"I'm a little disoriented that the mission was completed so quickly. I don't even know what to do next," Jason said.
“This is the territory of the Spectral Rhinoceros, and while its aura hasn’t completely dissipated, other strange beasts won’t easily set foot here. Let’s collect some useful exotic plants,” Zeng Daxiong said.
"Hehe, it has to be the captain, he knows how to seize opportunities," Jason chuckled.
Originally, Ah Chen had also wanted to suggest collecting samples, but now that Zeng Da Xiong had spoken up for him, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
"Everyone stay nearby, don't stray too far, lest you provoke any passing beasts," Zeng Daxiong instructed.
"By the way, Chaoyang, do you know anything about exotic plants? Do you know which common exotic plants can be sold for money?" Zeng Daxiong asked.
“I wanted to see if there were any medicinal herbs. The apothecary I served before gave me a broken testing instrument that could detect the common components of medicinal herbs. I later had it repaired and have kept it with me ever since,” Achen said.
Actually, Bo Yiyan's spatial button contains a high-precision detector, which not only has high detection accuracy but can also distinguish common toxins and medicinal properties in plants.
That was what he often used when collecting medicinal herbs in the wild. It helped him avoid contact with poisonous plants without missing out on special medicinal herbs.
Before leaving home today, he specifically placed it in the storage compartment hanging around his neck so he could easily take it out and use it at any time.
Hearing that he actually had such an instrument, Zeng Daxiong and the others were both surprised and delighted.
They had heard of similar instruments before, but after inquiring about the price, they gave up. Even the most basic one cost tens of thousands of contribution points.
They had no idea whether there were any valuable medicinal herbs in the woods near the town. What if they spent a lot of money to buy them, but then couldn't collect any valuable herbs? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Ah Chen never expected that despite Silverwing Star's advanced technology, these people couldn't even afford the detection knife that every scavenger on their Green Algae Star possessed.
Regional differences are indeed beyond imagination. For example, even on their Green Algae Star, the buying and selling of slaves is not allowed, but here, the government is leading the way in this risk-free business of human trafficking.
This is truly speechless!
The team members were very curious, so Achen had to take out the high-precision detection knife to demonstrate it to them.
