Chapter 76

"Hey, are you about to die?"

Ran Hao slowly closed his eyes, thinking to himself.

"Roar... Bang..."

Just as he closed his eyes, waiting for death, the iron-armed ape suddenly let out a piercing scream, followed by a muffled thud not far away. Ran Hao recognized the scream as coming from the iron-armed ape and quickly opened his eyes to look.

Uh...

When he saw the scene before him, he was completely stunned.

He saw the formidable second-stage ferocious beast, the iron-armed ape, which had left him with no chance to resist, now lying on the ground not far away, moaning in pain, with a black arrow piercing through its head.

At that moment, Ran Hao realized he had been saved. Not only did he understand, but the flying tiger team members who had scattered and the second-stage martial artist also saw this and understood that a powerful expert was nearby.

One arrow to instantly kill a second-stage ferocious beast, and it even pierced through its hardest part—the head. This required absolute strength.

"Captain Zhao Jian of the Flying Tiger Team thanks the great adult for saving our lives!"

After a moment, the second-stage martial artist, who had run far away, swiftly returned, bowed to the surroundings, and respectfully said.

"Ran Hao thanks the great adult for saving my life!"

Hearing Zhao Jian's words, Ran Hao also reacted and respectfully said to the surroundings.

He had already prepared himself for death, even smelling the scent of death, but suddenly, the situation turned around.

All of this made him feel as if he were in a different world.

The other flying tiger team members who had run away also returned. They all looked around cautiously. They were all first-layer body cultivation flying tiger team members, slightly stronger than commoners, but their status was actually lower than that of commoners. Normally, a second-stage martial artist like Zhao Jian was already a figure they looked up to, and now they had encountered a martial artist much stronger than Zhao Jian, so they were naturally very cautious.

Not only them, but Zhao Jian and Ran Hao were also very cautious. Such a person was someone they needed to look up to.

"Ha ha, Xiao Hao!"

Just as Ran Hao and the others were anxiously waiting, they suddenly heard a hearty laugh and a voice.

"Hmm?"

"Brother Ye Feng?"

Hearing the laughter and the voice, the cautious Ran Hao suddenly paused, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

He naturally recognized Ye Feng's voice, but he hadn't expected to encounter Ye Feng here.

"Ha ha, it's me!"

Hearing Ran Hao's words, Ye Feng, carrying a large bow on his back and with a smile on his face, walked out from the forest.

"Brother Ye Feng, I didn't expect it to really be you. I heard you moved to Qing Shuang City?"

Looking at Ye Feng, Ran Hao's face showed a hint of excitement. He never thought he would encounter Ye Feng here.

"Brother Ye Feng, come over quickly..."

"Great adult, this is my brother, absolutely no intention to offend!"

Suddenly, Ran Hao remembered the mysterious expert nearby and couldn't help but shout to Ye Feng. After shouting, he also bowed respectfully to the surroundings.

High-level martial artists were unpredictable, and he was afraid that Ye Feng's actions might anger the high-level martial artist hiding nearby, who could easily destroy them with a wave of his hand.

In the two months, in his eyes, Ye Feng and he had not changed much, even if Ye Feng was a bit stronger, there was still a significant gap compared to high-level martial artists.

Hearing Ran Hao's words, Ye Feng naturally understood what was going on and could only shake his head helplessly.

Ye Feng nodded at Ran Hao and walked towards the iron-armed ape, which was now completely silent.

"Hmm?"

"Hmm? Brother Ye Feng..."

Seeing Ye Feng's actions, Zhao Jian and Ran Hao were taken aback. Ran Hao was even more shocked and quickly called out to Ye Feng.

After all, moving a martial artist's prey without permission could be considered an act of hostility. It was fine if the martial artist had left, but everyone knew that the martial artist had not left. In such a situation, Ye Feng dared to move the prey, which made him even more shocked and afraid.

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng had already walked to the side of the iron-armed ape.

"Xiao Hao, you guys divide this iron-armed ape!"

Ye Feng walked to the dead iron-armed ape, pulled out the fine steel arrow from its head, and put it in the quiver behind him, then said.

...

Hearing Ye Feng's words, the surroundings instantly fell silent, even the second-stage martial artist Zhao Jian was the same. They all looked at Ye Feng strangely.

In fact, they had already understood what was going on. After all, the fine steel arrow Ye Feng put in the quiver was exactly the same as the one in the quiver.

Because they knew, they were stunned there, and the most surprised among them was Ran Hao.

He was directly dumbfounded. Two months ago, Ye Feng was only at the second layer of body cultivation! In just two months, he could kill a second-stage ferocious beast? This was like a fairy tale to him.

"Yes, thank you, great adult!"

After recovering, Zhao Jian quickly bowed to Ye Feng and said.

A second-stage ferocious beast was not particularly precious to him. He was respectful because of Ye Feng's cultivation and age. Ye Feng's strength far exceeded his at such a young age, which was impossible even in the large family he served.

After all, in the family he belonged to, even the talented disciples were only at the peak of the second stage at Ye Feng's age.

Not to mention the peak of the second stage, even a third stage martial artist might not be able to kill a second-stage ferocious beast with one arrow!

Second-stage ferocious beasts were generally more powerful than second-stage martial artists, let alone using an arrow. Moreover, it only took one arrow to pierce through the hardest part of the second-stage ferocious beast's head. This strength absolutely exceeded the third stage, and at the very least, it required the peak of the third stage combined with powerful martial techniques.

No matter which way, such a person was not someone he could afford to offend.

He just didn't know how this flying tiger team member under him knew such a martial artist.

At this moment, Zhao Jian naturally did not order Ran Hao but personally began to dissect the second-stage ferocious beast.

"Xiao Hao, let's go to Green Mountain Town for a drink!" Seeing the flying tiger team members and Zhao Jian dissecting the ferocious beast, Ye Feng said to Ran Hao.

"Oh! Oh!"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Ran Hao finally reacted and responded repeatedly.

Although he was agreeing, he still felt as if he were in a dream.

"Captain, I..."

"Xiao Hao, go ahead! This time we have completed the task beyond expectations. We will all return to rest later!"

Ran Hao, having recovered, went to talk to Zhao Jian, but before he could finish, Zhao Jian interrupted him.

Joking, how could Zhao Jian dare to stop Ran Hao at this moment? Not to mention Ye Feng's strength, just the income from this second-stage ferocious beast was the total income from ten missions.

After all, they usually only operated in this area, and in most cases, only first-stage ferocious beasts appeared here. They only picked up some wild animals or the flesh of first-stage ferocious beasts. Now, a complete second-stage ferocious beast was given to them, so what was there for Zhao Jian to be unsatisfied about?

In fact, when they arrived here, they found four dead first-stage ferocious beasts. No one had collected the materials from these ferocious beasts, and they were still puzzled until the iron-armed ape appeared, and they understood that these first-stage ferocious beasts were all killed by the iron-armed ape.

"Thank you, Captain!"

Hearing Zhao Jian's words, Ran Hao quickly thanked him.

Even at the third layer of body cultivation, he was nothing in front of someone like Zhao Jian.

The more so, the more he admired Ye Feng. Back then, Ye Feng at the second layer of body cultivation had a very good relationship with a second-stage martial artist like Zhang Meng, but he still couldn't do that. He was at a higher cultivation level than Ye Feng back then, but he was still very cautious in front of martial artists.

...

In a tavern in Green Mountain Town, Ran Hao looked dumbfounded at the two pieces of flesh and a few porcelain bottles placed in front of him.

Although he didn't know what kind of ferocious beast the two pieces of flesh came from, he could feel a surging blood energy from them, something he had never felt before. He had seen the flesh of second-stage ferocious beasts a few times, but even the flesh of a freshly killed second-stage ferocious beast did not have such a strong blood energy. How could he not be shocked?

"Brother Ye Feng... This... This is the flesh of a third-stage ferocious beast?"

Suddenly, Ran Hao remembered that Ye Feng had just told him that he was now a fourth-stage martial artist... So this flesh was at least third-stage. As for the flesh of a fourth-stage ferocious beast, he didn't consider it, because even a fourth-stage martial artist might not be able to kill a fourth-stage ferocious beast, and being able to survive under the claws of a fourth-stage ferocious beast was already quite good.
