Chapter 76 Easy Hunting
Late night, Redwood Ridge.
The cold wind is biting and the scenery is covered in silver.
Huge trees with countless long icicles hanging from them formed this silent forest of ice and snow. Except for the occasional sound of icicles broken by the cold wind hitting the ground, almost no movement could be heard.
Under a golden tree with a diameter of more than seven meters, there were nine figures swaying.
From a tree next to the Jinlin tree, a man jumped down. The man held a big knife and gave a few instructions to the nine people under the Jinlin tree.
The nine people under the tree immediately took out several ropes from their bodies, spread them on the ground, and then covered them with snow. Then they each grabbed one end of the rope and hid behind a nearby tree.
The man holding the knife, seeing that everyone was hiding, raised his head again and made a gesture to a tree to the left of the Jinlin tree.
Whoosh…………
As soon as the man finished making the gesture, less than two breaths later, an arrow shot out from the tree on the left and shot straight to the top of the Jinlin tree.
The arrow was extremely fast and powerful. It broke many thick ice crystals along the way. Finally, it hit an unknown place and made a clear clang sound.
"Roar..."
Following the arrow was a terrifying roar of a cold beast.
Above the golden tree, there is a four-meter-long adult snow mane.
The snow mane jumped down from the tree, and its four thick animal hooves stepped down into the snow for more than one meter. Its two fangs stood upright, and its fierce eyes stared at the knife-wielding man who had been standing under the tree. Man, your body is ready to move.
On the right side of Xuemane's face, about ten centimeters away from his eyes, there was a black arrow stuck in it, which was obviously the one shot from the tree on the left just now.
"Roar..."
Snowmane's pupils were stained with blood, and he roared angrily. He kicked off the ground with his hind legs, like a cannonball, and rushed straight towards the man holding the knife. The terrifying impact force raised the snow on the ground along the way, as if forming a white air wave. He rushed to the man in an instant.
"Pull the rope!"
The man with the knife didn't panic, and gave an order. The nine people who had just been hiding behind the tree nearby all used their strength at the same time to yank the rope in their hands.
Stretch…………
The rope in the snow, pulled so hard by the nine people, immediately straightened, blocking the only way Snowmane could sprint.
Snowmane was caught off guard, and his legs were tripped. Although the terrifying impact made the nine people pulling the rope stagger, his speed also suddenly slowed down, and his forelimb was also hooked. Driven by the strong inertia, the body almost turned sideways.
The moment the nine people appeared, Xuemane's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he smelled a dangerous aura. After forcibly stabilizing his body, he no longer rushed forward, but turned his head, trying to escape.
"It's not that easy to run away!"
When Snowmane almost turned over, the man holding the knife rushed to its side with a sudden stride. Seeing Snowmane turning around and trying to escape, the man held the big knife with both hands and slashed at the top of Snowmane's head. Come.
Phew…………
The blade cut through the air, making a whistling sound.
The cold edge of the broadsword was reflected in his pupils, and Snowmane's ferocity seemed to be aroused. He turned his head and stretched out his two fangs, charging towards the broadsword.
Snowmane is cunning and knows how to use its strongest fangs to collide with the sword in the opponent's hand.
But how could the man with the knife do as he wished?
The moment Xue Zong rushed over, the man twisted his body violently and dodged to the left first. Then he stood up with his big knife horizontally. Looking at the right time, he used the sharp blade as a sword and inserted it straight into the right side of Xue Zong's neck.
Snowmane noticed that the right side of his neck was penetrated a few inches, and a flash of fear suddenly flashed in his pupils. However, his violent force could not even be restrained by it itself, so it could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward, trying to use the big knife to Rush away.
It's a pity that the man holding the knife never moved his hand.
Tear…………
The blade that originally only penetrated a few inches, with Snowmane's own violent impact, cut straight from the right neck, all the way to the abdomen and even the tail, and the wound went from a few inches deep to more than half a meter deep.
Even at the end, Snowmane stopped, with only half of the blade still outside. Pfft...
A stream of bright green blood spurted out from the wound. Snowmane turned his head and opened his mouth to spit out his tongue. He wanted to fight to the death. Unfortunately, as soon as he spit out his tongue, the man had already pulled out a big knife and slashed at the long tongue that had not been fully extended. Cut off.
The long tongue was broken, and Snow Mane's furious and frightened pupils suddenly became blurred. His body finally struggled on the snow twice before it died down.
Phew…………
The man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the snow mane on the ground, and then looked down at the knife in his hand, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Seeing Xue Mane fall to the ground, the nine people who were pulling the rope just beside them all said something to each other and gathered around happily.
"Leader, isn't this Shocking Sword too powerful?"
"The sword is strong, but the leader is even stronger. The impact of the snow mane is so terrifying. If we were to hold the sword, we probably wouldn't be able to stop it."
"This Snowmane is quite cunning. His first reaction just now was to run away."
"Hahahaha, from now on we don't have to carry small torches and rely on luck for hunting. With this knife, our Daxia really has the ability to hunt."
………………
This group is naturally the people of the Great Summer Camp.
As soon as the knife was sharpened, it happened to be nightfall. Xia Hong didn't waste any time and took everyone to Redwood Ridge to test the knife.
Xia Hong was also in a very excited mood at the moment. Although he had used the ten-forged sword in the Rogge camp, he was facing monsters at that time. What really worked was the condensation oil and torches. The power of the iron weapon was almost invisible. .
Before trying it, he had no idea how much effect the cold-frightening knife he had just shot could have on the cold beast.
Now, looking at Xue Zong's body on the ground, Xia Hong naturally felt confident.
The ten-forged weapon can break through the defenses of low-level cold beasts without any problem.
Of course, it also depends on the strength of the user. As Xia Chuan said just now, if they hold the Cold Sword, even if they can break through Snow Mane's defense, they will not be able to block the terrifying impact of over ten thousand kilograms.
This was also the reason why although there were knives in Dashi camp before, bows and arrows were still used as the main attack when hunting.
While everyone was talking, a man also jumped out of the tree on the left. The man was carrying a bow and arrow, and his right eye was covered with a piece of leather. He walked to Xuemane's body and first took out the black arrow stuck in his right face. , said to Xia Hong somewhat discouraged:
"Chief, my archery skills are still too poor, I can't be of much help!"
Xia Hong shook his head, patted Xu Ning's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I have only practiced for a day, and this level is already good. If I practice hard with Shi Qing and his son, it will be a matter of time before I hit the target with every shot."
< br>
Xu Ning's injury has long since healed, but without his right eye, his strength is still not as good as before.
He had not been out for a long time, and he was very anxious.
As soon as Xia Hong and others returned yesterday and returned the bows and arrows to Shi Qing, Xu Ning immediately went to find him.
Probably because he knew that he wanted something from Daxia, and when he learned about Xu Ning's intention to come, Shi Qing directly gave him the bow and arrows that his younger brother Shi Dong had used before, and also directly taught Xu Ning how to shoot arrows, and taught him what he could talk about. What needs to be done is to let his son Shi Ping demonstrate.
His son Shi Ping and daughter Shi Lu both have considerable talent in archery, and they are more than enough to teach Xu Ning who has not yet started.
I don't know if Qiu Peng was really right. Xu Ning's archery talent is really very high. Even Shi Qing couldn't help but praise him.
The arrow just shot was planned to hit Xue Zong's eye, so as to cause maximum damage. Although Xu Ning's shot was deflected, it was not deflected by much. It hit Xue Zong's face, only a dozen or so away from the eye. Just centimeters.
You know, Xu Ning has only practiced for one day until now.
Given time, he will definitely be a marksman with perfect shots.
"Okay, I won't cut down the trees tonight. I'll come out with a few saws in the next few days. The eight of you will carry the snowmane back first. Sichuanhecheng, come with me to see the ice at Dashi Camp. Shuoshu’s situation.”
Yue Feng and the other eight people nodded and carried Xuemane back to the camp first.
Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng were walking behind Xia Hong towards the Bing Shuo tree.
