The hunters are going crazy, and they fail to throw Bai Xiaoli away after a few turns, “What the hell you are on your own way! Fuck off!”
Bai Xiaoli is displeased. With acceleration, Bai Xiaoli directly surpasses the hunters who run ahead. Cang Yan and other members run desperately to follow Bai Xiaoli. The distance between the hunters and the group is getting smaller and smaller. Seeing that they’re going to be surpassed, the hunters are almost to kneel down and call Bai Xiaoli daddy.
“Hey bro, wait. It’s easy to talk things over!” The hunters call affectionately. If they are surpassed, then it will be they who need to face the steel-armed giant ape directly.
Bai Xiaoli: “Don’t follow me.”
The hunters: “…”
Can you be more rascally? Who has attracted this steel-armed giant ape here?!
Bai Xiaoli rushes ahead, turning around in the forest. The people behind him grit their teeth to follow. They can die together with Bai Xiaoli, but they can’t be thrown away!
As a result, the hunters who wander in the forest and are looking for the youngster with long silver hair get in the neck. Once they gather together for discussion, and suddenly a black-haired youngster rushes out. Before they come back to their consciousness and know what happened, a crowd of people run over straightly from behind. And then, when they see what’s chasing after them, they are all scared out of their wits and run away immediately.
In this way, Bai Xiaoli is like puncturing a stick of roast in the forest. He’s running wildly, but he can always find the nests of hunters and get them involved in the escaping group. The scale of the implicated hunters is like a city marathon, quite spectacular.
They run and run, finally, Bai Xiaoli and his teammates disappeared out of their vision. The steel-armed giant ape is attracted by a certain hapless hunting party and goes away. When Bai Xiaoli stops, the steel-armed giant ape and the group of the hunters are all lost.
After the desperate running, the lungs of the group members nearly explode. Bending over and panting hard, with their hand popping on the knees, they almost collapse on the ground.
“Ha-ha-ha …, Bai Xiaoli, you’re absolutely … deliberate. You specially run to the crowded places and break up each stronghold. You’re too bad, ha-ha-ha …” Joyce staggers forward and back while laughing.
Cang Yan can’t help laughing, and he also finds that Bai Xiaoli is silent, but too bad.
After running for so long, Bai Xiaoli seems to be perfectly fine. He doesn’t have the tired and dying look like other people. He takes out a hot barbecue, peels off the tin foil, sits under a tree, and starts to eat.
Everyone else is amazed at Bai Xiaoli’s physical strength. This speed of recovery is incomparable.
Bai Xiaoli says while eating, “While you have time to breathe, just hurry up.”
The others don’t understand for a short while, and they think that Bai Xiaoli begins to rave again. With a “smash”, an ox as tall as a human rushes out of the dense forest, and everyone understands what Bai Xiaoli means.
This is a mutant beast called “horned ox”. Before the Dark Age, it was just an ordinary domestic cattle. Later it mutated. It eats no longer the grass and becomes carnivorous. It’s fierce. It has three horns, one on each side of its head. The two huge black horns are very hard and are a weapon for attack. There is still one in the center of its head. According to the shape of its body, this one should be on Level II. Its strength is probably only in F Grade Red Star-III which is a good choice as a partner of training.
“Joyce, let’s take a rest aside. Rovel, Kain, and Long Lan. This horned ox is for you.” Cang Yan says.
Among the six, it’s probably Rovel and Long Lan who are more lacking in the experience of actual combat. Since Kain dares to hunt alone, it means that he has a life-saving means, and it is not the first time he fights.
But Rovel and Long Lan are completely green hands.
The intelligence of the horned ox on Level II is far inferior to that of a mutant beast on high level, and even worse than that of an alien beast. When it sees a prey, it ignores the others and rushes towards the three people, completely ignoring the devil Bai Xiaoli.
Long Lan draws out a long sword in a great bustle from his backpack and yells arrogantly, “Evil beast, come to be arrested quickly!”
Bai Xiaoli and the captains just sit beside and watch. When he knows that he will not be in danger, Long Lan’s courage is boosted. When he sees the horned ox rushing towards him, he’s not afraid. Instead of escaping, he raises his sword to meet it.
“Look at your Lord Long’s sword!”
“Clang!”
Long Lan plans to have a fantastic sudden stab, but his hand slips and the sword falls to the ground.
Long Lan: “…”
This is so embarrassing. He wants to pretend to be powerful, but he doesn’t expect that he would fail and be knocked by an ox, how could this be?!
“Wow-ah-ah-ah! Help!!!”
Long Lan turns back and runs. Seeing that the black horns are about to hit his ass, Long Lan screams, “Xiaoli, save me! Captain, help!”
None of the three people resting off the field comes to help, but instead all of them are looking on coldly.
Seeing that Long Lan is chased so miserably, Joyce is puzzled. “Xiaoli, you have taught him one year and a half. What did he learn?”
Bai Xiaoli eats the meat bite by bite, “He learns ‘Xiaoli, save me’.”
Joyce: “…”
Cang Yan: “…”
Joyce regrets, “He has wasted this one year and a half.”
Long Lan runs around the clearing, and the horned ox chases behind, while Rovel and Kain run after the horned ox. A serious hunting suddenly turns into a funny farce.
Joyce is thinking about something and suddenly says: “The horns are going to reach your bottom.”
“Wow-ah-ah-ah!” Long Lan screams. His running steps suddenly become strange, and his body also reels left and right, just like a drunk, shaking left and right. Each time he leans, the angle between the body and the ground reaches almost 30 degrees, and even twice less than 30 degrees. This shaking and leaning don’t affect his rushing, nor does he falls to the ground. The others are looking straight. The horns bump several times in a row, and they’re all avoided by Long Lan who reeled left and right.
This … this kind of operation also works?!
Cang Yan and Joyce who’re watching: “…”
Joyce murmurs, “Are there any special skills that have been inspired?”
The two look at Bai Xiaoli at the same time. Bai Xiaoli looks on the field while eating the barbecue with a calm face.
Rovel and Kain who are chasing behind also find out the problem. They only see that Long Lan’s in danger and he will be caught up by the horned ox whenever and wherever. However, after running so long, the horned ox still doesn’t catch up with him.
“Help! Help! Help!” Long Lan runs while crying for help. When he looks back, he sees a big ox head bumping towards him. Long Lan leans his body to one side and fades away by a conditioned reflex, His back almost touching the ground, and he thrusts against the ground and slips out toward the direction of 90 degrees while the horned ox rushes forward.
After avoiding the danger, Long Lan stands straight again and runs toward Rovel and Kain.
“Hurry up, beat it! Hey, where’s my sword?!” Long Lan doesn’t realize what he has done and is anxious to find the sword on the ground. He doesn’t know how many times the long sword has been trampled by the horned ox.
Joyce can’t believe his eyes, “Is this the legendary tiny step on ripples?”
Cang Yan looks at Bai Xiaoli, “This is the footwork you teach?”
Bai Xiaoli answers after eating a stick of meat, “No.”
“No?” Cang Yan obviously doesn’t believe. If one technique is not created by oneself, it must be learned from others. In the case of Long Lan, self-creation is simply impossible. It can only be learned from Bai Xiaoli.
Bai Xiaoli continues, “This is not the step, swaying-in-the-storm that I teach him; he learns it wrong and distorts it.”
“…” Cang Yan is nearly choked. It turns out to be this reason, so you don’t even want to admit it?
Joyce looks helpless.
The two just want to cover their faces. How does Long Lan learn this? He pays so much tuition (for purchasing meat) to learn a trick, but he still learns it in a wrong way?! God, they can’t stand it anymore!
Both Rovel and Kain come back from their shock. Seeing the horned ox goes around and rushes back, Rovel goes to meet it with a shout.
Rovel is tall and strong, two meters tall, standing there like a wall. This is also a necessary size for the heavy equipped players. In the moment when the horns hits, Rovel puts his two big hands forward and grabs firmly the two big horns of the horned ox. He steps on the ground and slides a few meters to resist the impulse of the horned ox. One person and one ox are competing in strength. The muscles and blue veins suddenly stand up on Rovel’s arms. It turns out to be a close match between him and a horned ox on Level II.
While the horned ox is caught by Rovel, Long Lan picks up his long sword and he plans to sneak attack from behind.
“Evil Beast! Take the sword!” Long Lan shouts in a great state. And the sword falls down on the bottom of the horned ox.
However, the bottom of the horned ox is okay. But Long Lan’s sword is bounced off, and even the two hands holding the sword become numb.
After chopping, Long Lan just thinks of it. It’s mentioned in the textbook, after the mutation of the horned ox, the most lethal is its three horns. And the most defensive is its skin which is very tough. Even if the horned ox stands there for your chopping, it’s still difficult for the enemy on the same level to break its skin.
It’s damn true!
Long Lan is about to cry and is thinking whether to pick up the long sword to try again.
“Boom!”
Long Lan is directly kicked off by a backward kick of the horned ox.
Kain’s ribs used to be injured. After the practice at last night, the star power is improved and washes out the meridians and bones of his whole body, making them stronger and stronger. His two broken ribs are already cured more than half. Otherwise, he can’t run so desperately today.
However, a cure is not a recovery. When he moves agressively, it still hurts, which also has a certain impact on Kan’s attack.
While the horned ox are controlled by Rovel, Kain jumps flexibly onto the back of the horned ox. A dagger shining coldly penetrates the horned ox’ neck fiercely. The horned ox feels hurt and goes mad. When Kain falls down, he pushes hard and pulls a long wound along the horned ox’s neck. The warm blood runs over the ground.
Kain and Rovel quickly retreats, leaving the horned ox struggling to death, and soon it’s dead of excessive loss of blood.
Joyce comments: “Kain’s action is clean and clear, hitting the point, very beautiful.”
Cang Yan keeps on observing Rovel, “With the increase of the star power, Rovel’s strength becomes much larger.”
Joyce adds: “Long Lan’s tiny step on ripples” is also very unique. If he can perfect himself on it, not to mention the attack, escaping is no problem at all. By this step alone, he can be listed as a substitute team member.”
The three people on the field don’t know that they’re being discussed.
“Are you ok? Is there any injuries?” Kain walks over with a smile and pulls up Long Lan who’s sprawled full-length on the ground.
He already begins to doubt his life. Why Xiaoli is so awesome, but he’s so funny? The tuition is paid for one year and a half. He and Xiaoli are always together during this one year and a half. Xiaoli doesn’t hide anything from him. As long as he asks, Xiaoli will answer everything as he can. But why is the gap so big?!
Sad and angry!!!
Long Lan rubs his chest and feels that he has nothing else to live for, “I must be blue on the chest!”
Kain smiles with his eyes squinted, “How do you think of attacking from behind? Don’t you know that the ox can kick backward?”
Long Lan’s dumbfounded, “Isn’t only horses which can kick backward?”
Kain smiles, “A horse can do it, why an ox can’t?”
The question marks hang over Long Lan’s head. ‘It seems … a bit reasonable?’
