"It wasn't injured, and its Qi and Blood could only circulate within its body once. Its size was already close to the peak of this species, so the strengthening effect was negligible."
Besides, with only twenty points of Qi and Blood, what kind of effect do you want?
"Twenty? That's so cheap?" Ye Zi was surprised again, because the system collected twenty-three points of health from the wild water buffalo she had just shot after she approached its corpse.
"Yes, didn't I tell you? It's not injured, it's just dizzy. It doesn't need healing or strengthening. Twenty points is a fair price."
Ye Zi nodded. It was fair, but it was also true that it didn't have much effect.
"If I create a few openings and establish connections, will it become like gold?"
"Pretty much, but I suggest you wait until it wakes up and then fight it a few times to inflict some damage, so that it understands that you are an opponent it cannot defeat."
Although this will consume more Qi and Blood points, the effect will be much better.
Ye Zi continued to ask:
"How much more Qi and Blood points will it cost?"
"This feature to establish a connection starts at 20 points. It won't attack you immediately once it wakes up."
The second level is fifty points; if you anger it, it will still attack you.
The third tier is 100 points, which is the effect of gold. It will treat you as a friend, provided you can help it, such as healing.
"What comes next? Are there any other tiers?"
"The fourth tier costs 500 health points and will generate feelings of closeness towards you."
The fifth tier costs 1,000 health points and will make you dependent on it, which can basically be considered as a form of mastery.
However, the fourth and fifth levels are completely unnecessary, since they are just ordinary animals and their help to you is limited.
Ye Zi nodded, then decided to do as the system said: give the wild buffalo a good beating, let it know who the king and queen are, and then establish a friendship.
It's reasonable for friends to help each other out with small favors, after all, pulling a cart isn't a big deal, something Yezi could handle herself, and it wasn't that tiring.
Halfway through the process of disposing of the carcass, the unconscious buffalo woke up.
Upon waking, he saw a human groping his companion, whose corpse was in a gruesome state. He then let out an angry roar.
But it was all for naught, utterly useless. It couldn't even stand up; it could only stare intently at the leaves with its bull-like eyes, occasionally letting out a few shouts.
Ye Zi turned his head, revealing a sinister smile, then put down his military knife with a murderous look on his face, got up and walked to the wild buffalo, grabbed its horns and dragged it away.
"Ye Zi, what are you planning to do?" Tong Tong asked immediately.
When Ye Zi looked at Tong Tong, her expression had returned to normal, and she smiled:
"Let's try to train the oxen and see if we can tame them so they can pull our carts."
"Then...then be careful."
"Don't worry, if it cooperates obediently, it'll be a partner on the road. If it doesn't cooperate, then we'll just have to send it on its way. Maybe we can even catch up with its original companions."
Tongtong nodded, then suddenly realized that this wild water buffalo was definitely going to be on its way.
Ye Zi dragged the wild buffalo to a spot 300 meters away, then untied the leather rope. The buffalo had just stood up when it lowered its head and rammed its horns at Ye Zi.
Without saying a word, Ye Zi threw a punch.
After a muffled thud, the wild water buffalo staggered back a few steps, shook its head, spotted the leaf's location, and charged forward again.
But the wild buffalo, whose head had just been punched by Ye Zi, was still not fully conscious. Seeing Ye Zi's figure as double, its powerful attack failed and instead it rushed past Ye Zi.
Ye Zi seized the opportunity and punched its ribs.
A slight cracking sound rang out, and Ye Zi grinned. This was exactly what he wanted. It was just a bone fracture; the damage wasn't great, but the pain was intense.
The pain stimulated the wild buffalo, making it a little clearer-headed, but it still cried out in pain.
Seeing that the wild water buffalo did not attack, Ye Zi stepped forward and rushed over.
The African buffalo is known for its bad temper. It dares to fight any species except for African elephants and rhinoceroses, which are much larger than it. It will even charge at lion prides and hyena packs.
Seeing the leaves rushing towards it, it pawed the ground with its front hooves and launched a charge, ready to continue the fight.
Ye Zi grinned, and as the two made contact, Ye Zi grabbed the bull's horns and executed a takedown.
Ye Zi is very skilled at the takedown move, using it on cattle and horses more often than on people; it's no exaggeration to say she's adept at it.
The buffalo was thrown to the ground, completely stunned. It had never suffered such an injury even when fighting a lion one-on-one. It then began to struggle violently, trying to break free from the leaves' hold.
But after struggling for a while, it was no use; he was still pinned to the ground by the leaves.
The leaf released the wild buffalo, creating just enough distance for it to charge, waiting for the buffalo's next attack.
At this moment, not only was the wild buffalo bewildered, but the viewers in the live stream were also bewildered. Had the one-on-one battle already extended to the Black Continent grasslands? The wild buffalo, one of the Five Fiends of Black Continent, was right off the bat?
"That's a body slam, I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"It was definitely a takedown, and it was clean and decisive, with a pinning move."
"Ye Shen's one-on-one fight is a bit of a waste. Apart from letting us enjoy the spectacle, there's so much meat that we can't possibly finish it all."
"You spent 50 cents of data to watch an ancient Roman gladiatorial game, what more could you want?"
"Ye Shen's movements are so practiced, he's obviously practiced them many times."
"Nonsense, Ye Shen grew up on the grasslands and will inherit a vast grassland and a whole herd of cattle and sheep in the future. It's just a cow that he threw down. What's the big deal?"
“I also grew up on the grasslands, and I admire Ye Shen’s experience, but I have never experienced it myself.”
"Fellow countrymen of the grasslands, analyze from your perspective why Ye Shen didn't take the opportunity to kill this water buffalo, but instead chose to fight it one-on-one."
"First, Ye Shen is tired from pulling the cart these past few days and wants to stretch his legs."
Secondly, Ye Shen knows what we want to see, and incidentally continues his one-on-one journey.
"Third, he didn't want to pull the cart anymore and wanted to tame the wild water buffalo to take his place."
“That makes sense, but there’s no record of the African buffalo being domesticated.”
"Before Ye Shen appeared, had you ever heard of anyone being able to take on a brown bear one-on-one?"
Before Ye Shen appeared, had you ever heard of anyone being able to take on a Great White Shark one-on-one?
Therefore, it's not impossible for Ye Shen to tame a wild water buffalo.
Ye Zi didn't know what the netizens were discussing; all he knew was that the wild buffalo's eyes burned with even more fury after it regained consciousness, and it was staring intently at him, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Ye Zi stood awkwardly, his body riddled with openings. Just as he turned his head, the wild buffalo launched a charge.
It was just a feint; as soon as Ye Zi heard the water buffalo make a sound, she immediately turned around.
The moment the buffalo got close, its horns were caught by a leaf, and it turned around and bent over.
"Buffalo over-the-shoulder throw".
"Bang!"
Mou...
