Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 273 Tea Hill
Three quarters after the pm, on the southern slope of Mount Qixia.

The primitive forests were dense, with heavy fog in the forests, poisonous insects and giant ants roaming around, beasts roaring like thunder, and the bloody odor left by all kinds of strange beasts filled the noses, making people's skin and bones shiver.

Wow~
Roars came one after another from the end of the mountain range. It was unclear what kind of strange beast made them, but the sound was powerful enough to make rocks roll down, trees tremble, and leaves fly wildly.

Qin Huai was walking quickly through the forest, looking at the claw marks and collision marks on the towering ancient trees, and he couldn't help feeling curious.

"The wild boar took a heavy kick from me that was strong enough to split gold and stone, but it failed to break the tree even after crashing into it. This shows that the ancient trees here are very tough. There are traces of battles everywhere on the ancient trees here, but I don't know what kind of strange beast left them."

Qin Huai also killed a few ferocious snakes along the way, but unfortunately they were all ordinary creatures. He was in time pressure and was too lazy to go through so much trouble, so he just cut out a few pieces of their essence and hastily abandoned the corpses and continued on his way.

After driving for more than three miles, the rugged rocks gradually became fewer, the trees became denser, the vegetation became more and more, and there were bursts of piercing and gloomy air in the air.

The branches were twisted and struggling, like a dry ghost claw, eerie and terrifying. Scattered on the ground were piles of bones of giant beasts that had been eaten clean, which was very frightening to look at.

Qin Huai looked around and confirmed that there were no ambush traps. He hooked his toes and grabbed a bone in his hand.

"Although tigers and leopards have thorns on their tongues, they may not be able to eat the flesh and bones of their prey so cleanly. Since tigers and leopards can't do it, let alone bears, wolves and tigers. Pythons and vipers can secrete gastric juice to completely digest blood and flesh, but there is no smell of fermented fur around them. It's really strange."

Qin Huai examined the remains carefully, but he could not figure out what had eaten so many of the giant beasts.

"There are no teeth marks or peck marks. It's strange, really strange."

rustling~
There was a very slight sound coming from under the dead leaves and weeds in all directions. Qin Huai's ears flapped, and he realized something was wrong. He immediately flew up and hid among the high branches like a swift monkey.

But Qin Huai stayed on the tree for a long time, but did not notice anything unusual on the ground, as if the noise just now was just an illusion.

"Did I hear wrongly?"

Qin Huai observed for a moment, then sniffed the wind, and found nothing unusual.

But looking at the ground that didn't give any hint of threat even at a quick glance, Qin Huai always felt a faint tingling sensation on his body.

That was the sense of danger he had developed after dying dozens of times under Yu Zhenjun's fist. It was a warning.

"If there's nothing wrong on the ground, then there must be something dangerous underground? Could there be something dangerous hiding underground?"

Qin Huai's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered a kind of ferocious ants that live in groups in the Amazon jungle, the army ants.

For ordinary creatures, an ant tide formed by tens of millions of army ants is a natural disaster that is no less terrifying than an earthquake, tsunami, or volcanic eruption.

"Forget it. Since you, a fierce creature, are still unwilling to show up, I don't want to waste my time with you. At worst, I can just walk on the trees in the forest."

After saying that, Qin Huai didn’t care whether the things underground could understand him or not. He kicked his feet and swung into the depths of the Sad Wind Forest like a clever monkey.

A hill stretched across the front, rising higher and higher. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the occasional roar of animals could be heard. On the outermost edge of the hill was a group of iron-black bulls, their bodies packed with muscles, and each one was as big as a military Hummer.

The bull in the lead gave an even more oppressive feeling. Its huge body, not much smaller than the Dongfeng semi-trailer, lay on the ground, and its tail, like a steel whip, lashed the ground at random, creating cracks.

"My goodness, these bloodthirsty iron bulls are not going to eat meat, are they?"

Qin Huai was not far away, hiding in the gaps between the branches and watching carefully. The iron-gray bull's teeth were as sharp as daggers, flashing with cold light. It was foreseeable that anyone who was bitten would die on the spot.

【Rough Iron Bull】

Category: Monster

Quality: Excellent

One of the tens of millions of delicious species in the mountains and seas, it often eats humans and has a ferocious personality. It is as fast as a leopard and has the strength to shake mountains. Its body is covered with tough iron skin that is difficult to be injured. It has dozens of sharp fangs that can easily crush gold and iron.

Precious food ingredients, after taking it, can increase the body's surface defense to a certain extent, mainly used for [Internal Strength] realm cultivation.

In the Wild Hunting Bureau's list, the Iron Bull can be ranked in the Huangding grade, and its iron skin, meat, tendons and bones can all be used as the main ingredients for [Court Feast] grade dishes. (The first bull will advance one level and can be ranked in the Xuanbing grade)

Hunting advice: When capturing and hunting, if there is no weapon to break the defense, you can use traps to ambush and kill; if you have a winning weapon, it is also recommended that hunters look for lone Mang Tie Niu to start with.

Be careful! Do not try to use your speed advantage to outrun the herd and drain their energy. The Iron Bulls are extremely fast, and their charge in groups can rival the might of a thousand-man army!
Cooking suggestions: The beef of Mangtie beef is tender and full of essence. The best parts are chewy and juicy, making it very suitable for barbecue dishes.

Instant eating suggestions: After the hunter kills the fish quickly, it is best to grill it on an iron plate and sprinkle some coarse salt on it to make it an extremely delicious dish.

Skills: [Iron Skin] [Barbaric Crash]

Comprehensive evaluation: Ten cities

Note: He is physically strong and possesses supernatural powers, but he is born with defects and his intelligence is very low.

【Rough Iron Head Bull】

Category: Monster

Skills: [Iron Skin] [Barbaric Charge] [Bull Roar] (Soul attack, specializes in destroying the soul, hits will force the victim to be stunned for a few seconds)
Comprehensive evaluation: Jiuyao (a thousand years of practice)

Note: It is harder for a rhinoceros to look at water, and an elephant cannot cultivate wasteland.

"There are about 17 or 18 of these [Rampant Iron Bulls]. If we provoke them all, it will be really troublesome. Let's try to see if the strategy of luring the enemy mentioned in this directory will work."

After thinking for a while, Qin Huai took off the ox horn hunting bow behind him, grabbed a green bamboo feather arrow from the quiver, raised the bow and shot. The bowstring was pulled like a full moon, and the arrow flew off the string, broke through the iron sheet and pierced into the flesh, causing the wild bull on the outermost edge to feel great pain.

Looking at the green bamboo arrow that broke into pieces because it could not withstand the huge force, Qin Huai touched his chin as if he had realized something.

Most of his archery skills came from his original expertise in hunting. Although his skills were not as good as those of Li Guang and Yang Youji, with the keen vision and physical fitness brought by [Penglai Immortal], it was more than enough for him to hit a four or five meter long bull at a distance of only a hundred meters.

However, the arrow could not withstand the huge stress and shattered in an instant, which was indeed something Qin Huai had not expected.

But he didn't think much about it, just thinking that the bamboo feather arrows made by the original owner were of poor quality. After all, they were made of wolf tooth arrowheads and bamboo arrow bodies, so it was understandable that they couldn't bear the force.

moo~
The shot [Rough Iron Bull] stood up suddenly, digging the ground back and forth with its hard hooves, its eyes were red, saliva on its gums was reflecting the dagger, and it swung its bull head and whip tail like crazy, trying to find the sinister villain who had plotted against it.

"It seems that these strange beasts in the mountain and sea world are not very intelligent."

Qin Huai put down his hunting bow and thought about the strange beasts he had encountered in the mountains and seas along the way, and began to wonder.

Among the materials that Yan Zhaohui opens to special talents, there is an internal reference that talks about the relationship between the cultivation level, strength and intelligence of the monster species among the countless fruits in the universe.

According to common sense, a demon species that has practiced Taoism for 500 years and is recognized by Yanfu as a top ten demon should have a high level of intelligence. Even if it is inferior to humans, the leader of all spirits, it should not be like ordinary wild beasts with a mind full of survival instincts.

Although the reaction of the [Rampant Iron Bull] in front of him was stronger than that of ordinary wild beasts, its equally ferocious temperament reminded Qin Huai of something he had seen before.

Fierce beasts, the beasts in the Ghost Dinghai 94th Fruit that were eroded and transformed by Tianrui. "No, it's different. The energy contained in the flesh and blood of these mountain and sea beasts far exceeds that of the ferocious beasts, and there are more of them."

Soon, Qin Huai shook his head without thinking any more. He pulled out an iron arrow from the green leather bag behind his neck with his right hand and aimed it at the [Rough Iron Bull] who was rubbing against the strange rock to force out the arrow.

This time, the iron-feather arrow made of fine steel will not break, right?

swoosh~
A black line flew out, extending into the distance, and finally hit the tough cowhide with an iron-gray luster with a "clang", making a crisp sound.

"Hmm? The killing power of this fine steel arrow is not as good as this green bamboo feather arrow?"

Qin Huai let out a light exclamation, and then he realized that he had fallen into the trap of stereotyped thinking.

Who says animal tooth arrows are inferior to fine steel arrows?

If it were in the real world, the strength of the animal tooth bamboo arrows might indeed be not as good as the steel-cast arrows, but this is the mountain and sea world.

A world of mountains and seas with tens of millions of delicious and exotic animals!
The exotic beasts here not only produce delicious ingredients with all kinds of wonderful effects, but the remaining fur, claws, fangs, feathers, beaks and scales are also very useful!
As a powerful hunter who has been in the mountain and sea world for more than ten years, he must be familiar with the ins and outs of it. If iron rods and steel arrows are more useful, then just spend money to buy them. Why bother making arrows by hand?

Polishing arrows by hand can only mean one thing, that is, the standard arrows produced by Jiuzhou Blacksmith Shop are not effective enough and it is difficult to cause fatal damage to high-grade exotic beasts.

The [Rough Iron Bull] in the distance also proved this point. The steel arrow shot by Qin Huai just now only made a bloody hole the size of a mung bean on the thick tungsten skin, and then was stuck and could not move forward. The bull shook slightly and the arrow fell to the ground.

hum~
The bull with half an arrow stuck in its butt blew out two streams of air from its nose, as if mocking the despicable man who could only hide in the dark and attack.

Its companions around it also noticed the abnormality. Immediately, a cow with a long neck that looked like a female turned its head, opened its mouth wide, and bit out the half of the arrow.

Whoosh whoosh~
Qin Huai shot three arrows in a row, chasing the stars and the moon. He did not choose the more powerful bamboo feather arrows, but shot several steel arrows in succession, little by little provoking the bull's emotions.

The steel arrows could not cause much damage to the thick skin, but at least they carried a huge amount of kinetic energy, so it would not be pleasant if they hit the body. The [Rampant Iron Bull] in the distance could not bear the annoyance, and its eyes as big as copper bells gradually turned blood red. It found the right direction, kicked its hind hooves, and rushed towards the ancient tree hidden by Qin Huai with the momentum of shaking the earth and mountains.

"Took the bait!"

Qin Huai's eyes flashed, he put down his hunting bow, tapped the tree branch with his toes, and retreated backwards.

Bang!
There was a loud noise in front of Qin Huai, and the towering ancient trees in the golden pupils trembled violently. The big horns of the [Mang Tie Niu] embedded into the thick tree trunk, and finally destroyed half of the tree trunk. Only then did it realize that Qin Huai was gone, so it quickly turned its head and continued to chase in the direction of the smell of living people.
-

bang~ bang~ bang~
Hearing the sounds of leaves shaking and ancient trees falling in the distance, the young girl with a veil on her face frowned slightly, paused her bare feet, and her whole body stopped in mid-air.

"Thank you, Commander. How long will it take us to reach Chaqiu?"

"Miss, we are almost there. That dark black hill in the distance should be it."

The short and strong man holding a pair of brass hammers pointed to the distance with a respectful tone.

"Liu Sicheng from the Wild Hunting Bureau has repeatedly reminded us that this Sad Wind Forest is very dangerous and that we must be careful."

The young girl listened to the shrill roar of a cow in the distance and took out an embroidered kitchen knife.

"General Xia, if you encounter a ferocious beast on the road and something unexpected happens, you don't have to take action. Just focus on protecting the [Fresh Cage]."

"Everything is up to Miss's orders."

The tall and thin man holding a nine-pronged fork and carrying a gray-white bamboo box on his back nodded in agreement.

"This place has a strong yin energy. It will hurt your body if you wait too long. We should fight quickly. You all follow me."

The young girl's beautiful eyes moved as she glanced at the giant black python that was blending in with the mottled bark among the branches above her head and dared not move at all. The embroidered kitchen knife with a blue dragon pattern engraved on it in her hand spun out a beautiful knife flower and then disappeared.

moo~moo~
"Miss, this group of [Rampant Iron Bulls] occupy the outer perimeter of the tea hill, blocking the road and causing trouble. How about we kill them?"

"Don't commit murder recklessly, just scare them away."

The young girl shook her head and walked without stopping with the tall and thin man. She only left a word to Commander Xie who was left behind to herd the cattle.

"As ordered."

The short and strong man carrying the brass hammer accepted the order in a muffled voice, and swung it casually. The brass hammer weighing hundreds of pounds flew towards the head of [Rough Iron-Headed Ox]!

That [Rough Iron-Headed Ox] was able to reach the Nine Stars level and become the leader of the tribe, so he must have some abilities. He was not afraid of the hammer weighing hundreds of pounds. He rushed forward with his jagged horns and actually knocked the flying hammer off course.

Seeing the man's arrogance, the remaining dozen or so [Rough Iron Oxen] immediately turned around and dug their hind hooves into the ground, wanting to charge forward in a group and crush him into meat paste.

The short and strong man flashed and flew over to grab the hammer handle. He swung the other hammer in a full circle. His waist, back and arms were stretched like a hard bow, and he swung the hammer straight at the bull's head!

The brass hammer made a whistling sound, and its two big horns fluttered like butterflies. In less than two breaths, the short and strong man flew in front of the cow!

Bang!
The hammer head, with its wide buds and full petals, smashed the cow's head into the ground.

Commander Xie's arms were muscular, and with a powerful kick, the thousands-pound Iron-Headed Bull knocked over the bull formation that was ready to attack, and the bulls were unable to get up for a long time.

"roll!"

The man held two sledgehammers in his hands and looked down upon the world, looking extremely domineering.

In the distance, Qin Huai, who had just dealt with a lone ox, returned and saw this interesting scene. He leaned against an ancient tree and looked curiously at the short and strong man who seemed to be a hunter of exotic animals.

"A transformed monster? A native of the Mountain and Sea Realm? Or a water creature from Kyushu?"

Qin Huai was very surprised and wanted to look at it for a while longer to find out what was going on.

Just as Qin Huai took out his snacks to watch the bullfight, the top of the dark hill in front of him suddenly emitted a emerald green and golden glow.

The rosy glow of the sunset shrouded the clouds and mist, causing Qinhuai, who was in an area of ​​yin energy, to feel a hint of burning.

In a place of extreme yin, extreme yang is born!
