Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Armored Bull (Seeking Recommendations)

Translator: 549690339

The car entered the Yi Lan County town, and Mutated Beasts appeared ahead. A group of bulls with golden fur all over their bodies and two long curved horns on their heads appeared.

Each of these bulls was over two meters tall, with thick nostrils spewing red exhalations and their round eyes staring fiercely at the unexpected guests.

The fur on their bodies was no longer like their ordinary counterparts, but had evolved into thick scales, shining brightly under the sun. This was not just for show; these scales provided astonishing defense capabilities.

“One, two, three, four, five, six – six of them! Can’t believe our misfortune.

We’ve just got into town and immediately run into a group of C-level Mutated Beasts! Where did these iron-armored bulls come from?”

Ye Tiancheng wailed, knowing how powerful these iron-armored bulls were.

Bovine monsters were a large group within Mutated Beasts; even the weakest of them were D-level, and these iron-armored bulls were amongst the best in their category. Each one had C-level strength, making them very difficult opponents for a War General Level squad.

“Not good! These bulls are coming at us! Our armored car’s defense might be strong, but it will definitely flip if it gets rammed by multiple iron-armored bulls. We have to get out and fight.”

From afar, several iron-armored bulls had already raised their horns and charged toward the armored car.

The five Demon Hunters quickly left the armored car. Ye Tiancheng left the driver’s seat, Shi Lei the passenger seat, while Lin Zhen and Zhao Liang got out from the two sides of the car. Gao Yan directly jumped out of the sunroof, with them all taking less than two seconds to jump out of the car.

“Disperse! Divide the bulls into smaller groups! Don’t fight these monsters directly. Old Gao, take the high ground and shoot!”

“Already on it!”

Gao Yan moved quickly, climbing up a nearby ruin, and prepared to shoot.

“Tiancheng, you and I will split and each distract one of the iron-armored bulls. Old Zhao, you take Lin Zhen and use the armored car as cover for guerrilla tactics. Old Gao will cover you, remember not to damage the car!”

“Got it!”

Ye Tiancheng agreed and swung his double swords, attacking an iron-armored bull with three consecutive slashes before immediately turning to run.

His double swords were of decent quality but could only leave faint white marks on the bull’s body. These high-defense beasts were indeed difficult to deal with.

Shi Lei’s long sword caused minor damage to the iron-armored bull, but it was far from enough. Chased by the bull, he also had to run around in a miserable state. The five-member squad had split up and were each fighting their battle.

“Lin Zhen, cover me!” Zhao Liang carried a curved knife and charged forward.

In his view, Lin Zhen was still a student, so while he could kill a C-level Giant Snake, it would be easier than dealing with an iron-armored bull, especially against a group of them at the C-level. He feared Lin Zhen wouldn’t have enough experience to handle it.

As he spoke, Lin Zhen shook his spear, creating a whirl of spearheads and drawing a bloody wound on the forehead of the largest iron-armored bull.

With one successful strike, Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate to make two quick jumps to cover a dozen meters, then darted into a nearby ruin.

The injured iron-armored bull roared and chased after Lin Zhen. However, the uneven terrain in the ruins prevented the bull from taking advantage of its charging strength. Lin Zhen used his spear as a pivot, jumping around the ruins like parkour, and the bull couldn’t catch him.

There were still three iron-armored bulls left for Zhao Liang to deal with. “This kid is born for battle, performing better in his first fight than I ever did.”

Zhao Liang sighed and said to Gao Yan, who had already climbed to a high point: “Old Gao, let’s work together to take care of these few first, and then go support the others.”

“Bang!”

Gao Yan’s sniper rifle responded, hitting a bull’s head and splattering blood, causing the bull to stagger and relieving some of the pressure on Zhao Liang.

“Nice shot!”

Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Liang attacked the other two iron-armored bulls with several knife slashes and circled around the armored car.

The best strategy for dealing with powerful monsters like iron-armored bulls was to avoid their attacks, get them tangled in complex terrain, and gradually exhaust their energy to eliminate them one by one. The Demon Hunter squad’s tactics were on point.

Lin Zhen bounced around the ruins with the bull chasing him, but he didn’t plan to keep running like this. He wanted to take down all four bulls.

Previously, he had to give his all to kill a C-level Mutated Snake, but now things were different. He had reached the Level Eight Warrior Late Stage and his Spiritual Power had reached the Silver Middle Stage Peak. Such power was comparable to an average novice War General, and so he couldn’t be content with Rimply dragging Oilt the battle

Jumping over a rock, Lin Zhen lifted his foot and hooked the rock up, sending it flying at the chasing iron-armored bull.

He aimed not for the head, but the legs.

Smashing its head won’t work; the Iron Armored Bull will easily smash the stones. Only by aiming for its legs and disrupting its pace will it provide the best strategy.

As expected, the Iron Armored Bull is affected by the stones; its chase is disrupted, and it stops. When it loses its momentum, it also loses its impact force. This is the opportunity Lin Zhen has been waiting for.

Seeing that the other team members are no longer within sight, Lin Zhen suddenly exerts his strength.

A cold light flashes by, and the Alloy Flying Knives are controlled by Spiritual Power. With a layer of silver light on it, the knives pierce the eyeball of the bull in front of him at a speed surpassing that of a pistol bullet.

As a C-level monster, the Iron Armored Bull isn’t so easily injured. Its huge eyelid closes just in time to block the knives.

The mutated bull has scales on its eyelids, which even normal bullets can hardly penetrate. However, after Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power had reached the Silver Middle Stage peak, his actual strength had nearly doubled. This knife’s power was no less than Gao Yan’s sniper rifle.

A splash of blood flies, leaving a wound on the Iron Armored Bull’s eyelid.

Feeling pain in its eye, the Iron Armored Bull roars and tries to charge again. However, Lin Zhen’s second flying knife is soon upon it.

The most significant feature of the flying knives controlled by Spiritual Power is their ability to turn corners. Thus, the Iron Armored Bull can only close its eyes again as there’s nowhere to dodge.

“Puff! Puff!”

r

lIV0 more consecutive slashes land on the same wound, finally cutting open the Iron Armored Bull’s eyelid!

The fourth flying knife follows in less than a hundredth of a second, piercing and exploding one of the Iron Armored Bull’s eyeballs, poking straight into its skull!

Liquid and blood splatter everywhere, and the Iron Armored Bull roars in pain. Raising its curved horns, it charges towards Lin Zhen.

“Beast! You’re done for!”

Lin Zhen raises his hand, and the four flying knives in his hand are suspended in the air once more, rushing towards the Iron Armored Bull’s remaining eye!

As a C-level monster, the Iron Armored Bull has a certain level of intelligence. It knows that it can’t avoid the knife, and if both eyes are blinded, it will be finished. It has no choice but to stop its charge and raise a hoof to protect its remaining eye.

This is the opportunity Lin Zhen has been waiting for. His target is still the blinded eye of the Iron Armored Bull.

The eye socket can lead directly to the brain and is the Iron Armored Bull’s weak point. Lin Zhen cannot help but take advantage of it. He intends to make the Iron Armored Bull close its eyes to make it easier for him to act.

He shakes the Black Dragon Spear in his hand, kicks off the ground, and leaps into the air. The black light, like a venomous snake, violently pierces into the injured eye socket of the Iron Armored Bull!

“Hit it!”

Lin Zhen exerts his strength, and the spear penetrates the eye socket for about one foot. He stirs the Black Dragon Spear and turns the Iron Armored Bull’s brain into a blend of mush!

With a mournful cry, the massive body of the Iron Armored Bull collapses to the ground!

Its massive strength is completely unutilized as Lin Zhen seizes a weak point and deals a fatal blow.

“Good, this Iron Armored Bull is the largest in the herd. The cowhide and horns are also worth a lot of money.”

Lin Zhen needs money. In addition to buying a Space Ring, he also needs to prepare supplementary potions for entering the War General Stage. It’s astronomical, so he must hunt many Mutated Beasts, especially high-level ones.

“I only pierced one of the Iron Armored Bull’s eyes, and the entire cowhide is intact. This appearance is the best for selling; just this cowhide is worth almost ten million!”

Lin Zhen takes out a flying knife and starts dissecting the bull from the lower jaw. Following the white line on its abdomen, he skillfully peels off the Iron Armored Bull’s scales.

“The pair of horns is worth several hundred thousand as well, and of course, the most important thing is the crystal.”

He takes out his flying knife from the bull’s brain and finds a dark yellow crystal. This could be sold to the technology department, but Lin Zhen prefers to donate it to the martial arts hall to improve his Points.

After folding the cowhide and carrying it on his back, taking the horns, and stowing away the crystal, Lin Zhen gets ready to provide support for his teammates. However, when he sees so much beef, he is tempted to cut off a little bit and roast it, casually cutting from the abdomen of the bull.

“Huh! This is…Cow Gallstone!”

As he opens up the cow’s abdomen, Lin Zhen finds a hard object in the stomach area. It turns out to be a fist-sized Cow Gallstone..
