Chapter 310: Hunting Fierce Beasts

"If I take this back to the Martial Arts Association, it should be worth over ten million Contribution Points; taking it to the Awakened Association could also net me a thousand points."

While thinking this, he took out the Alloy Battle Blade at his waist, attempting to cut off the valuable materials from the Lion Ape's body, only to find that the blade could not cut in even a fraction.

"Oops." Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed; he had just remembered that the Alloy Battle Blade in his hand was only Tier 2.

Cutting Advanced Fierce Beasts was easy for it, but using it against Elite-level Fierce Beasts made it feel inadequate.

"Do I have to drag this big guy back?" Lu Yu frowned slightly; it wasn't that there was no way, but he had come out to hunt primarily to gain Experience Value, and going back and forth would certainly waste a lot of time.

"Right, if I cover the blade with True Qi and use blade aura to cut, would it be easier?" This thought suddenly flashed through Lu Yu's mind.

He gripped the hilt tightly, guiding the True Qi within his body along his meridians to his arm, and immediately after, the True Qi surged into the blade like a stream of water.

He tried making a cut on the Lion Ape's body, and sure enough, the blade, which previously could only leave a white mark, successfully carved a wound into it this time.

"Did the blade aura grant it a sharpness effect? If I inject more True Qi, would the effect be even better?" Lu Yu pondered, directly channeling one hundred units of True Qi.

With this, the Alloy Battle Blade seemed to be reborn, turning into a divine weapon that effortlessly severed one of the Lion Ape's claws. A joyful smile immediately appeared on Lu Yu's face.

Just as he was about to cut off the Lion Ape's other three claws, a strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up from the depths of his heart.

"It's above!" Lu Yu was startled and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

He saw a huge black shadow swooping down like lightning! It was actually a bird-type Fierce Beast.

"Black Feather Eagle?" Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, a trace of vigilance flashing in them.

This Black Feather Eagle was also an Ordinary Elite-level Fierce Beast; although its strength was average, its speed was astonishingly fast, and coupled with its ability to soar freely in the sky, it could be called the most difficult existence among Ordinary Elite-level Fierce Beasts to deal with.

Because it occupied a high-ground advantage, it could easily spot prey on the ground, and even if it couldn't win, it could fly into the sky and disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Screech!"

The Black Feather Eagle let out a sharp, long cry, its wings flapping violently, instantly whipping up a gale that swept toward Lu Yu like a surging wave.

Its two claws were spread out to the sides; it looked as if it wanted to kill two birds with one stone, grabbing Lu Yu while simultaneously snatching up the corpse of the Lion Ape on the ground.

"You're courting death!" A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth.

He quickly took an arrow from his Arrow Quiver and placed it steadily on the string.

Immediately after, the True Qi in his body surged out like a torrent, attaching itself entirely to the arrow, so much so that the entire arrow seemed to emit a dazzling white light.

He knew clearly that an ordinary arrow shot out, even if it hit a vital spot, might not be able to kill this Black Feather Eagle on the spot, just like the Lion Ape before.

But this arrow was by no means an ordinary arrow; it was a Piercing Clouds and Splitting Rocks arrow that consumed three thousand points of True Qi!

At this moment, the distance between the two sides was already less than three hundred meters; the wind was howling, sand and stones were flying, and it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.

Suddenly!

A sound of air exploding rang out abruptly. With the powerful enhancement of True Qi, the arrow carried terrifying kinetic energy, like a cannonball fired from a chamber, instantly tearing through the sky and reaching the front of the Black Feather Eagle.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the arrow, which was originally only two fingers thick, exploded a blood hole the size of a washbasin in the Black Feather Eagle's abdomen; then, the arrow continued with undiminished momentum, shooting straight into the sky.

As for the Black Feather Eagle, it let out an extremely miserable scream, like a plane that had lost control, falling toward the ground like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang!"

With a thunderous crash, accompanied by the bone-chilling sound of bones snapping and tendons breaking, the Black Feather Eagle, which had just been soaring wantonly in the sky and acting with unparalleled arrogance, instantly collapsed onto the ground like a pile of lifeless mud, never moving again.

Lu Yu walked over slowly, looking at the horrifying blood hole in the Black Feather Eagle's abdomen, and couldn't help but gasp.

He secretly pondered that if this arrow had been shot at the Lion Ape from before, it probably could have killed it in one shot as well.

However, this arrow also cost him a significant price; the True Qi in his body evaporated by 3,000 points at once, and his original 4,500-plus points of True Qi were now left with just over 1,000.

Lu Yu glanced at his Experience Value and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had increased by nearly ten thousand points, which was actually slightly higher than the Experience Value provided by the Lion Ape.

"I must hurry and clean up; the smell of blood here is too strong, and it will soon attract other Elite-level Fierce Beasts just like it attracted this Black Feather Eagle," Lu Yu thought to himself.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, as if he had captured a brilliant idea.

That's right, wasn't he out here to hunt Elite-level Fierce Beasts?

Since the smell of blood could attract them, why bother going through the trouble of searching everywhere?

If one comes, kill one; if two come, kill a pair.

In this way, wouldn't his Experience Value just keep rising?

Of course, for the sake of safety, he still decided to stay a bit further away from the "bloody scene."

In case too many Elite-level Fierce Beasts were attracted, or if he happened to run into some extremely powerful character, he could escape in time.

Lu Yu quickly got to work, cutting the valuable materials from the two Elite-level Fierce Beasts, then ran a thousand meters away, silently recovering his True Qi while waiting like an experienced hunter.

Sure enough, not long after, some Fierce Beasts hurried over, following the scent of blood.

Most were Advanced Fierce Beasts; some had already sensed Lu Yu's presence, but the temptation of those two Elite-level Fierce Beasts in the distance was simply too great, and they seemed to ignore Lu Yu completely.

"Hey, you really treat me like I'm invisible!" Lu Yu was both angry and amused.

He hadn't left those two Elite-level Fierce Beast corpses for these Advanced Fierce Beasts to enjoy.

Without hesitation, Lu Yu shot one arrow after another, sending the four or five Advanced Fierce Beasts that arrived one after another to the afterlife.

"Not bad, Experience Value increased by nearly three thousand." He looked at his panel, feeling a bit comforted.

At this time, on the ground in the distance, besides the two Elite-level Fierce Beast corpses, there were a few more Advanced Fierce Beast carcasses.

"It shouldn't attract anything particularly powerful, right?" Lu Yu felt a bit uneasy.

He believed that with his current strength, even if he encountered a top-tier Elite-level Fierce Beast, he would have the power to fight.

But if he had to face a Commander-level existence, he really had no confidence.

Time passed slowly, and a few more Advanced Fierce Beasts were attracted to the vicinity.

Just as Lu Yu was preparing to act, those few Advanced Fierce Beasts seemed to smell some kind of aura that terrified them, and like frightened birds, they scattered and fled in panic.
