"Xiao Ran, don't take it too seriously. I didn't expect you to be so strong in close combat. This was a peak-level first-level triangular deer, and you killed it in an instant!"
"And this is your first time fighting a ferocious beast at close range. It's quite impressive that you can do this!"
Qiao Jianmu thought Li Ran was frightened. After all, Li Ran had never fought a ferocious beast at close range.
"Brother Qiao, I'm fine. I just feel a little excited. The feeling of fighting a ferocious beast is completely different from shooting arrows from a distance!" Li Ran reacted and replied.
He knew that Qiao Jianmu and others had some misunderstandings.
"What's the difference? Aren't they both hunting ferocious beasts?" Xue Gaoya leaned over and asked with a smile.
Qiao Jianshi taunted, "What do you, a wet nurse, know..."
"You..." Xue Gaoya raised her eyebrows, gritted her teeth, but only uttered one word.
Seeing that the two enemies were about to start quarreling again, Li Ran quickly said:
"Archery doesn't feel much different from hitting a target, but close combat feels especially thrilling. That collision of strength, the punches hitting the flesh, well, I think I'm addicted to this feeling..."
Yu Xiaowen smiled softly and said, "It seems that Xiaoran is still a natural fighting maniac!"
Battle maniac? Maybe, Li Ran felt that he was really a passionate person.
He used to love watching fighting videos. Whenever he saw someone fighting nearby, he would feel his blood boiling and he would want to rush up too.
Of course, he also signed up for Sanda classes, but his physical condition was too poor and his wrists and ankles were often injured. He had no choice but to give up regretfully.
"Okay, since Xiaoran is fine, let's find a place to rest, have lunch, and then continue in the afternoon..."
Just when Qiao Jianmu felt it was time to rest, he would continue hunting in the afternoon.
However, he didn't expect that there was an unusual movement from the direction where the three-striped deer had just run towards him.
This made Qiao Jianmu's expression serious, and Li Ran had naturally sensed it a long time ago and also looked over there.
Soon, several figures appeared over there.
"The three-striped deer is the prey we have been chasing. Thank you for helping us stop it!"
Among these figures, the scarred man who was leading the group smiled slightly.
He had already sensed the aura of Qiao Jianmu and the others. Except for the two people at the peak of the first level, they didn't take the others seriously.
"I was wondering why it was running away when I found it. It turns out you were chasing it. Since it was you, I'll give it back to you!"
There was a trace of reluctance on Qiao Jianmu's face, but he had no choice as this was outside the city.
Although the mountains outside the city are guarded by powerful federal forces and monitored by detection equipment.
Then you need to know what the federal government’s purpose is in arranging these?
The Federation's goal is to divide the mountains outside the city into areas where these ferocious beasts live, and the detectors are also used to monitor any ferocious beasts that intrude.
Although second-level practitioners are not allowed to appear in first-level areas, third-level practitioners are not allowed to appear in second-level areas.
But there is no inscription stipulating this, because for practitioners of the second and third levels, there is no need for them to hunt in the first level area.
There is even no need to snatch the prey from the first-level regional team because they are not on the same level.
Usually, ten or so first-level beasts are worth as much as one second-level beast. There is no need for a team of second-level practitioners to intentionally go to the first-level area to rob.
Moreover, although the caretakers may not care if a second-level cultivator enters a first-level area, those who steal first-level items are actually violating federal law, and the loss outweighs the gain.
"Brother, this is clearly a ferocious beast hunted by Xiaoran, why should we hand it over to them?" Qiao Jianshi said unconvinced.
Qiao Jianmu glared at him fiercely, signaling him to shut up.
The man with the soft eyes on the left of the leader opposite laughed contemptuously:
"Why? First, we are stronger than you. Second, this is our prey. Finally, there are so many people and ferocious beasts within a radius of thousands of miles."
"Several people died, but no one knew about it. The caregivers didn't really care about them. They were so naive. It's a miracle that they're still alive today!"
"You..." Qiao Jianshi's eyes were bloodshot and he was filled with rage.
Xue Gaoya frowned: "Are you guys going a little too far?"
Qiao Jianmu quickly stopped her, saying, "Xiaoya, quickly apologize to the other party. He was telling the truth."
"Excessive?"
This was interrupted by a woman standing next to the scarred man, who had a charming figure but a rather unsatisfactory face.
"You've been practicing for several years now, and yet you're saying something so stupid? I'm dying of laughter!"
The woman with a charming figure sneered, "Weakness is the original sin. You look good, but it's a pity that you are too stupid. Look at me like this, what can you do to me?"
Whoosh...
As the charming woman finished her words, a thin iron skewer flew out of her hand, cut through the air, and headed straight for Xue Gaoya's face.
If Xue Gaoya was shot, she would at least be disfigured, although in this era where spiritual practice and science fiction coexist, it can be cured by spending a small amount of money to buy some healing and scar-removing pills.
But this was undoubtedly an insult and a blow to Xue Gaoya's soul.
Li Ran narrowed his eyes. This woman's cultivation was at the early second stage. With this speed and the sudden attack, it was too late to intercept her!
As the black light passed, a deep scratch was inevitably left on Xue Gaoya's right cheek.
Xue Gaoya's eyes were filled with tears. It was not because of pain, nor sadness about her ruined appearance, but because of humiliation, a humiliation that she had never experienced since she was a child, and she couldn't resist, nor did she have the ability to resist!
