Chapter 31: The Loyal Henchman
Not only that, they noticed Young Master Dai was even more diligent—eating three meals of beast meat a day until full, then working out like crazy to burn it off.
The usual routine is two meals a day; if the exercise isn't intense enough, there's no way to digest three meals of meat.
If even the second generation works this hard, we'd be doomed if we remain slackers.
Thus, the entire tribe's atmosphere subtly changed, and everyone started putting in more effort; naturally, there were fewer willing to sell Bone Coins.
However, Young Master Dai still received enough Bone Coins because the loyal henchman, The wind blows cool on the ass, did everything possible to supply him with enough, fully meeting his training needs.
A henchman like this is truly committed and reliable.
"Young Master Dai," the henchman The wind blows cool on the ass leaned over and whispered mysteriously.
"Have you found a way to break through?" Young Master Dai's expression changed, full of surprise and delight.
"Working on it, working on it," the henchman The wind blows cool on the ass chuckled awkwardly, quickly whispering, "Although I haven't found a way to break through yet, I've found high-quality beast meat. Eating one meal and digesting it can give you four Experience points!"
"What? Double the Experience, does one day equal two?" Young Master Dai's eyes sparkled.
Soon, Slutty Mouth was called over, and he said reluctantly, "Young Master Dai, I also want to level up quickly, please don't make it difficult for me; this is my hard-earned reward from completing a task."
"How could Young Master Dai make you suffer! Level up a bit slower, just work harder, RMB money won't burn your hand," the henchman The wind blows cool on the ass chimed in helpfully.
In the end, they agreed on a price, and Young Master Dai bought the high-quality beast meat; although it was pricey, wasn't it worth it?
Even so, Slutty Mouth still pretended to be unwilling, as if he had no choice against Young Master Dai.
This made Young Master Dai feel less heartache about the money.
Meanwhile, Small Knife had already left the tribe with Big Soldier.
Now that he's familiar with the surroundings of the tribe, hunting isn't a problem, but the issue is that ordinary prey no longer satisfies Small Knife.
He sprinkled a handful of Bone Powder, which floated and transformed into bones, swiftly assembling together.
Sufficient to form two Level 10 skeletons, these bones combined into a robust Bone Horse, with four legs as thick as small pillars and a body much longer than that of an average horse.
This was a two-person Bone Horse, reaching Level 13.
After the two mounted the horse, it quickly galloped into the distance, while Small Knife and Big Soldier each held a telescope to observe the terrain ahead.
They startled quite a few small animals along the way, but Small Knife had lost interest in them.
More than an hour passed.
What a large half-dead tree, Small Knife sighed in relief upon seeing it through the telescope; he finally found the coordinates, and hadn't gone astray.
That should be the territory of the Furious Wind Leopard; its den is beneath the dead tree.
"Oh! I found it directly." Small Knife's eyes lit up, feeling incredibly lucky.
Black, with green streaks on its body; it was about the size of a tiger, with a more slender build—very beautiful.
Furious Wind Leopard: Level 30, Fierce Beast???
???
The visible attributes weren't plentiful, but at Level 30, it was considered the lowest in the fierce beast category, categorized as a low-level fierce beast.
However, Military Dagger's hunting team avoided it because it's extremely troublesome, with its Wind Speed passive skill, enabling it to be faster than even Level 40 fierce beasts, making it hard for hunters to hit with throws.
Its Fury Skill allowed it to temporarily boost to Level 10, reaching mid-level fierce beast status, significantly enhancing both its power and speed.
Its roar could even stun nearby hunters in close combat; one mistake could mean certain death.
Other skills like sharp claws, tearing, and pounce weren't worth mentioning, as most fierce beasts possessed these. Yet, with these three main skills alone, Military Dagger's hunting team preferred battling other mid-level fierce beasts than provoking this super-fast creature.
It's not that it couldn't be killed, but the costs would be devastating.
When they hunt, they naturally prioritize remaining unharmed.
But the Furious Wind Leopard, despite its significant advantage, also had an obvious weakness—the Gale Leopard was one of the weakest in defense among fierce beasts, which is why Small Knife targeted it first.
Dismounting, he instructed Big Soldier to wait while he slowly approached the target.
As Military Dagger said, the alert range of fierce beasts isn't as wide as ordinary wild animals, generally allowing hunters to approach within throwing range.
Nevertheless, Small Knife didn't let his guard down, stopping at a safe distance to avoid getting too close.
This distance wasn't enough for throwing.
But for him, it was sufficient.
The Furious Wind Leopard lay lazily there, reigning as king in its territory.
Unfortunately for it, an unfamiliar sniper rifle had already zeroed in from afar.
Skill: Shooting, actively deployed.
Divine Technique: Quadruple Shot.
Whoosh!
The bullet shot out instantly; with such speed, Small Knife wasn't sure if it would hit the target's eye.
At this range, Small Knife couldn't be certain.
However, deploying the shooting skill seemed to let him sense the speeding bullet's path—a miss seemed inevitable.
No, the bullet automatically adjusted, piercing into the Furious Wind Leopard's eye socket, accurately hitting the eyeball and penetrating into the brain.
Incredible, so this is the effect of actively deployed shooting, correcting the target? It's amazing.
Immediately after, before the wound could burst open,
three shadows of bullets followed through the wound into the Furious Wind Leopard's eye socket.
The life bar above the Furious Wind Leopard's head dropped drastically—Small Knife was stunned; a sniper rifle hit to a critical spot couldn't instantly kill it?
This was with the Great Success shooting passive effect, which increased power by 100%.
But the subsequent three shadow bullets entered, and its life bar emptied instantaneously.
Beep: Congratulations, you have killed a Level 30 fierce beast, the Furious Wind Leopard, gaining Experience: 3000, and your shooting proficiency increased by 10%.
"Done!" The familiar notification sound made Small Knife cheerfully jump up and wave.
The distant two-person Bone Horse quickly sped over, carrying Big Soldier.
Scattered Bone Powder resurrected a robust Bone Horse again, ready to carry the prey back.
However, Small Knife froze—could it be? This area actually had Wind Spirit Grass? A whole patch.
Hurriedly, using the telescope to scout the surroundings, saw no danger, and carefully, along with Big Soldier, picked the mature ones.
Beep: Basic Skill, Collection Proficiency +1…!
A whole patch, at least a hundred, yet only forty-five mature Wind Spirit Grass, but they also found five matured Clear Spirit Grass—not bad at all.
Then they quickly rode back on horseback.
After the excitement, Small Knife felt extraordinarily exhausted—it seemed both skeletal resurrection and skill deployment drained the spirit.
