Chapter 443: Practicing Basic Archery

With so much Experience Value, it was a near certainty that he would have enough to raise the levels of his two peerless martial arts, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, to their maximum.

As for the Golden Bell Shield, since the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was about to be unlocked, there was no need to spend any more Experience Value on the former.

And if all went as expected, the remaining Experience Value would be enough to raise many of his mental cultivation methods to the Consummation realm, thereby unlocking the traits he had always dreamed of.

His gaze fell upon the pile of Wild Bull corpses on the ground.

These materials would be enough for him to buy up all the martial arts like the 【Jiayi Shenggong】 and 【Undying Seal Technique】 once he returned to Yongan City.

"To avoid any complications, I had better collect the Fierce Beast materials first."

Lu Yu thought to himself, his figure moved, and he stuffed the head of the Wild Bull King directly into his Space Item.

Without a doubt, this pair of massive horns was an invaluable treasure that would surely fetch a large amount of points.

Afterward, he quickly appeared before the creature's massive body, took out his sharp Dagger, and began to carefully cut away other materials.

Time passed bit by bit during the tense and orderly collection process; after about a quarter of an hour, he finally finished collecting the materials from the dozens of Elite-level Fierce Beasts.

Looking at the remaining beef covering the ground, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache.

This was the flesh and blood of Elite-level Fierce Beasts; thinking back to the past, even the flesh and blood of a single Low-level Fierce Beast would have made him incredibly excited.

However, the number of prey was simply too high, and his Space Item had limited space; it really couldn't hold so many things.

What's more, if he had to choose to pack certain parts, he would definitely prioritize the key parts of that Commander-level Fierce Beast.

Lu Yu's gaze fell once again on the body of the Wild Bull King; to pack this guy, his Space Item would need at least one hundred cubic meters of space, and it would still require some cutting to barely fit.

A one-hundred-cubic-meter Space Item, even if the Awakened Association actually had one, would likely be priced at an absurdly high sky-high price.

It was a full several hundred miles from here to Yongan City; dragging such a massive body back was certainly not an easy task.

But just leaving it here was truly a waste of a precious resource.

Despite the trouble, Lu Yu still decided to overcome the difficulties.

However, he did not intend to return so soon.

Because there were still tens of thousands of Intermediate-level and Advanced Fierce Beasts in the surrounding area.

The Experience Value for killing one Advanced Fierce Beast was a mere few hundred points, which was a world of difference compared to the experience gained from killing an Elite-level Fierce Beast.

Therefore, when he was in the wild before, he basically ignored the Advanced Fierce Beasts whenever he encountered them.

The situation now was different.

These Advanced Fierce Beasts were all gathered here, unlike in the Wasteland where they were scattered—a few here, a few there—making them extremely troublesome to kill.

Although one Advanced Fierce Beast only provided a few hundred points of experience, ten would be several thousand, and so on; when the number reached tens of thousands, the Experience Value could reach several million.

Several million! This was far more experience than that large group of Elite-level Fierce Beasts had provided earlier!

Moreover, there was one more thing that made Lu Yu very tempted.

That was, he could take advantage of this rare opportunity to practice his Basic Archery!

That's right, dealing with these Intermediate and Advanced Fierce Beasts didn't require any complex Arrow Technique Secret Techniques at all; a simple, ordinary arrow was enough to kill them easily.

The effect of such combat on improving the proficiency of his Basic Archery went without saying.

And once the level of his Basic Archery increased, the proficiency of his Flame Arrow technique could also increase accordingly, and perhaps even the Sun-Shooting Arrow technique could unlock a hundredfold arrow power!

By that time, if he had to deal with a creature like the Commander-level Fierce Beast from earlier, there would be no need for such a laborious effort; a single Sun-Shooting Arrow with a hundredfold power would be enough to resolve the battle cleanly and efficiently.

"Although this process might be very boring and very time-consuming, today is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Besides, how could shooting Intermediate and Advanced Fierce Beasts be more boring than the repetitive target practice he had done before?

His figure moved, and he nimbly climbed onto a high-rise building over ten stories tall, looking down from a commanding position.

Without the suppression of the Commander-level Fierce Beast, the surrounding Intermediate and Advanced Fierce Beasts no longer coexisted harmoniously as before, and they instantly engaged in a brutal slaughter among themselves.

In just a short while, the remaining Intermediate-level Fierce Beasts were basically slaughtered, with only a very small number managing to escape the area thanks to their agility.

As for those Advanced Fierce Beasts, they were either gathered in twos and threes or standing alone, heads bowed, greedily devouring the flesh and blood of the Intermediate-level Fierce Beasts.

A thick, pungent smell of blood permeated the air above the entire city.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before more Advanced Fierce Beasts are attracted here by the smell of blood; who knows, it might even draw in some Elite-level Fierce Beasts. This is truly heaven helping me."

Lu Yu was overjoyed and immediately headed toward the area where the Advanced Fierce Beasts were most densely packed without hesitation.

"Boom!"

A sharp sonic boom suddenly rang out.

A Gale Wolf King was caught off guard and shot through by an arrow; its body was thrown backward by the powerful impact as if it were a tattered sack.

And the arrow that pierced through it, its momentum undiminished, continued to pierce through five or six more Advanced Fierce Beasts before finally sticking into a reinforced concrete wall with a "thud."

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

More sounds of air being pierced rang out in succession.

The many Advanced Fierce Beasts had no time to react and didn't even know where the attacks were coming from before they fell one after another into pools of blood.

In less than half a minute, over a hundred Advanced Fierce Beasts had been precisely shot and killed by Lu Yu.

Soon, his Arrow Quiver was empty.

"Thirty arrows, still too few."

Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh; the main thing was that he hadn't anticipated encountering such a large-scale gathering of Fierce Beasts today; otherwise, he wouldn't have minded preparing hundreds or thousands of arrows.

Fortunately, after this round of fighting, his Basic Archery had leveled up several times, which could be considered an unexpected joy.

"Then let's continue."

As Lu Yu said this, he leaped down and began to retrieve the arrows he had fired one by one from the chaotic battlefield back into his Arrow Quiver.

Of course, there were also some Advanced Fierce Beasts that didn't know when to quit, relying on their ferocity to charge madly at him.

The result, however, was extremely miserable.

Because the moment they collided with him, those Advanced Fierce Beasts had their bones and blood vessels shattered by the Golden Bell Shield on Lu Yu's body, and they died instantly.
