Chapter 3883: Insta-kill with a single arrow
According to the Zhou Clan, if they were willing to split the rewards of the Heavenly Cloud Mountain equally with Ling Han, then if it involved Core Formation Tier or even the True Self Tier-level Great Herbs, then it would naturally be divided equally.
The Zhou Clan was willing?
Ling Han smiled faintly, “Little Lan Lan, are you trying to drive a wedge between us?”
Song Lan’s pretty face involuntarily darkened. No one had ever been so bold, to actually dare call her Little Lan Lan.
This was blatant teasing!
“Brother Ling, with your strength and talent, is there any meaning to take advantage of me verbally?” she asked calmly, as if she did not take it to heart at all.
“So this is boring,” Ling Han said with a smile. “Then, Little Lan Lan, let’s discuss the true meaning of life.”
Shua, Song Lan delivered a palm strike.
Ling Han reached out to block it. Hehe, he liked to provoke this calm and two-faced celestial maiden into losing her cool.
“Let me give you a reminder. The Zhou Clan would definitely not be so generous that they would foolishly count money for others even after being betrayed.” Song Lan immediately regained her composure, as if she was a celestial maiden that would never lose her composure.
With that said, she left gracefully.
Ling Han naturally wouldn’t trust the Zhou Clan, but cooperation was necessary. That Heaven Hunting Crossbow was practically tailor-made for him, and he wanted to possess it.
After preparing for a day, the Zhou Clan mobilized everyone to set out, heading towards Heavenly Clouds Mountain.
For the sake of this day, the Zhou Clan had already waited several hundred years. Generation after generation of hard work and struggle had become a long-cherished wish.
After walking for two days, they arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Clouds Mountain.
This mountain was tall enough to reach the skies, and there were clouds and mists curling around the waist of the mountain.
“Ang!”
“Ao!”
Before entering the mountains, they could already hear the roars of beasts, which directly penetrated into their souls, causing chills to run down their spines.
This was a great beast of Core Formation Tier.
“Be careful. Vicious beasts aren’t the only thing we need to guard against. There’s also the environment here,” Zhou Mi warned. “There are some plants here that look inconspicuous, but their stings are specialized in breaking through a shield of mystical power. Once pierced, the strong poison will turn people into mush in a short few seconds.”
Hearing these words, everyone shivered. Thankfully, everyone was prepared when they entered into the White Lotus Mystery Realm and wore armor. This would definitely be able to block any piercing stings.
Now, killing a Core Formation Tier great beast shouldn’t be too difficult. The problem was, how were they supposed to be found?
There were a total of eight Demonic Beasts in Heavenly Clouds Mountain, and three of them were at the peak stage of Core Formation Tier. Two were at the late stage of Core Formation Tier, one was at the middle stage of Core Formation Tier, and two were at the early stage of Core Formation Tier. The eight Demonic Beasts each occupied an area, and usually, they would mind their own business.
Though every beast king had its own area of activity, the Heavenly Clouds Mountain was too big. Even if it was divided into eight parts, it was still overwhelmingly huge.
Thus, the advantage of having more people showed itself at this time. Everyone moved separately to find the beast kings in this area.
The Zhou Clan had deliberately planned to conquer the Heavenly Clouds Mountain, so it was naturally impossible that they had not grasped the information about the Demonic Beasts. In this area, the Demonic Beast was an Iron Scaled Sheep, and was shockingly an existence at the late stage of Core Formation Tier.
Ordinarily, wild beasts of the same cultivation level would be stronger than cultivators. For example, it was very easy for four, five, or even seven or eight cauldrons to appear among wild beasts, but cultivators were basically three cauldrons. If they could break through to Four Cauldrons, their abilities would definitely leap into the top thousand.
Thus, even though this Iron Scaled Sheep was only in the late stage ofCore Formation Tier, even the combined forces of the four Core Formation Tier elites from the Zhou Clan would most likely only result in defeat.
Otherwise, in a situation when these beast kings did not ally together, would the Zhou Clan need to spend generations to forge a deadly weapon, and take such a big detour?
Everyone was cautious. The wild beasts and environment here were all filled with danger, so how could they not be careful?
As the secret weapon for killing the beast king, Ling Han naturally didn’t need to move. He only had to head over once they found the Iron Scale Sheep.
One day, two days, three days, right until the fourth day, they finally discovered the Iron Scaled Sheep.
In truth, it was this Iron Scale Sheep that had discovered them, and launched an attack. As a result, three of the Zhou Clan had died, while one of the outsiders had died, and two had escaped they had directly crushed their tokens, and left the Mystery Realm.
Then, the Iron Scaled Sheep flew into a thunderous rage, and began to search all over the mountains and plains, planning to start a massacre.
Someone had actually barged into its territory?
After receiving the news, Ling Han moved with the crossbow in hand, greeting the attack of
the Iron Scale Sheep.
Someone in front of them was drawing the Iron Scaled Sheep over. Of course, it was a Core Formation Tier elite from the Zhou Clan. Otherwise, the other people would be caught up with by a Core Formation Tier vicious beast in a few moves, and then crushed into dust.
It had appeared.
This Iron Scaled Sheep was over 30 meters tall, and its length was around 60 meters. What covered its whole body was not fur, but scales, exuding the coldness of metal, and on top of its head, there were two giant goat horns that were more than 30 meters long, as if they were
two heavenly spears.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The Iron Scaled Sheep charged past, and the mountain rocks that were touched by its aura were shattered into dust, turning into flying sand.
It rampaged all the way, and occasionally, a mountain peak would collapse.
Ling Han turned his head and said to Zhou Mi, “Make that Iron Scale Sheep stop, or I won’t be able to lock onto it easily.”
Zhou Mi frowned deeply. If he wanted the Iron Scale Sheep to stop, he would have to face the Iron Scale Sheep head-on. With the strength of this Beast King, it could easily severely injure the clan’s Core Formation Tier cultivator.
However, there was nothing that could be done. Ling Han was only a Cauldron Forging Tier, so it was normal that he couldn’t lock onto a Core Formation Tier. This, on the other hand, made him feel slightly relieved.
He immediately moved, wanting to force the Iron Scale Sheep to stop. The four Core Formation Tier elites had to work together.
Ling Han stood on the high ground, leisurely and relaxed, waiting patiently.
“You have it easy,” Song Lan said.
“Same to you,” Ling Han said with a smile.
Not long after, the Iron Scaled Sheep indeed stopped.
Ling Han raised the Heaven Hunting Crossbow and aimed. Previously, he had already started
to accumulate power, so he immediately pressed the trigger.
Boom, the arrow shot out. Pa, pa, pa! Lightning flashed, and it was extremely fast.
Its trajectory was practically untraceable. After jumping a few times in the air, it had already shot in front of that Iron Scaled Sheep, and then penetrated straight through. The incomparably sturdy scales of the Iron Scaled Sheep were completely useless. Peng, so what if it was in the late stage of Core Formation Tier? That Iron Scaled Sheep did not
even manage to release a wail before collapsing loudly.
And on the other side, the body of the arrow had already pierced through.
The destructive power of this arrow was truly terrifying. The entrance was very small, but the
exit formed a huge hole that was about three meters wide. The internal organs and bones
inside had all been shattered.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to insta-kill this great beast with a single strike.
Instantly, everyone erupted in cheers. A King-level great beast had actually fallen so easily. Even Ling Han was slightly stunned. Although he had long since known that this arrow was extremely powerful, he was still filled with shock when he saw it with his own eyes. However, even though this battle had ended so quickly, in order to draw the Iron Scaled Sheep
over and slow it down, the Zhou Clan had still paid a certain price. A few clansmen had died, and even three of the four great Core Formation Tier elites had been wounded, and one of
them was severely wounded.
