Sovereign To Immortality Chapter 18

C18: The Bow

"Rush forward and kill him!"

The moment Su Baozhang took out the Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit, it was discovered by the approaching young cultivators. If the crowd had thought that the Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit would appear after seeing the huge carca.s.s of the Bull, they all went into a frenzy when they saw the real thing.

A medium-grade Immortal Spirits, let alone a medium-grade Immortal Spirits such as Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit!

Wasn't Hundred Sparrows Mountain ploughed twice by the youth cultivators from the Heaven-Shaking Sect and the Prominent Cla.s.s from Yu County? How did they find a Mountain Cras.h.i.+ng Bull so easily?

However, they didn't think that even though that adult Mountain Collision Bull might have a medium-grade Immortal Spirits, its nature was famous for its savage strength. Its strength was comparable to a top grade vicious beast, and if it were to meet people, it would not rest until it died. These twelve or thirteen-year-old young cultivators would often have difficulty reaping the rewards if they didn't pay a certain price for their injuries.

The sect disciples and the famous rich and powerful cultivators were usually very valuable masters, so naturally, they were unwilling to take the risk. This was why this adult Mountain Cras.h.i.+ng Bull managed to avoid being hunted twice by immortal spirits.

They only thought that as long as they could stop Su Baozhang, the Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit in his hands would belong to them. After obtaining a intermediate grade immortal spirit, this trip to the Hundred Sparrow Mountain would come to an end.

However, there were a few who were quick-witted, but they slowed down their pace when the others rushed towards them in a panic. Even if they underestimated the strength of the Mountain Collision Bull, it was impossible for such a huge berserk beast to be killed by Su Baozhang alone.

However, there were more than a dozen young cultivators rus.h.i.+ng over from two directions. Other than three or five who had bright minds, everyone else had their heads covered as they rushed forward. Even if the opponents had an ambush, they would still be able to injure each other.

The moment Su Baozhang found the immortal spirit, he turned around and ran towards the woods where Yang Junshan was. He didn't even bother picking up the firewood chopper from the ground.

"Don't run, leave the immortal spirit behind!"

Many youths behind Su Baozhang shouted out loud in harmony, their faces flushed red with excitement as they chased after Su Baozhang.

Just as Su Baozhang was about to run into the forest, a youth could no longer hold back. He took out a crossbow from his back, placed a Duck Feather Arrow in the quiver, and aimed at Su Baozhang's back.

However, before the youth could pull the trigger, with a loud bang, a light whistle pierced the sky. The moment the youth realized that something was wrong, a piercing pain came from his leg, and the youth let out a loud shout as he threw away the crossbow in his hand. He bent down to grab his left foot and wailed loudly, but a two foot long iron feather arrow had already pierced through his foot and sunk half a foot deep into the ground.

This arrow caused the hearts of the young men chasing behind Su Baozhang to quiver. Their feet involuntarily slowed down, and a few of the young men immediately took the protective talisman from the Heaven Shaking Sect from their waist pouches and held it in their hands.

Although this talisman could block a fifth level Mortal Realm beast's attack head-on, Yang Junshan's Iron Feather Arrow obviously wouldn't give them any time to react when the talisman was shot.

"Don't be afraid, we have a protective talisman. His arrows can't do anything to us!"

At the same time, a black line suddenly flashed across the corner of his eye, and a slight bowstring sound rang out. The youth thought to himself that something was wrong, and was about to crush the charm in his hand, but unexpectedly, a sharp pain suddenly came from his arm, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that an iron feather arrow had already pierced his arm. The talisman was floating in his hand and falling to the ground.

At the same time, he squatted on the ground and started crying. The few youths around him were so scared that they hesitated to move forward. If it was possible that the arrow that had shot through their feet earlier was a trick, then the arrow that had shot through their wrists was a clear warning.

While everyone was hesitating, Su Baozhang had already tumbled into the forest. At that moment, the youths woke up. The temptation of a intermediate grade immortal spirit was really hard to give up.

"There's only one person who shot the arrow. Adding that to the fact that there were only two people who fled into the forest, we have a total of fourteen people. If we all rush forward together, his arrows can deal with a few, and he might not even dare to kill us!"

A youth hiding behind a pile of rocks by the stream encouraged his companions once more. After firing two arrows, they no longer heard the bowstring vibrate, causing the youth, who had just been intimidated, to reignite his greed. At the same time, eight or nine youths seemed to have made an appointment, standing up from behind their respective covers and rus.h.i.+ng into the forest.

At this moment, another bowstring rang out from the forest. This time, it was much louder than the previous two times.

"Oh, no!"

Several loud shouts could be heard. The eight or nine youths were so scared that half of them directly laid on the ground, and two of them even directly crushed the talismans in their hands. One by one, earthen yellow protective barriers rose up, enveloping the youths within.

The youngsters' gazes s.h.i.+fted rapidly as they stared at the unfortunate one who was struck by the arrow this time around. However, after taking a look around, they realized that everyone was fine and did not find any trace of Iron Feather arrows.

The youngsters looked at each other in dismay. Suddenly, one of the youngsters shouted, "F * ck, I fell for his trap. That fellow didn't even shoot an arrow. He only pulled the bowstring to scare us!"

From the time he tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit to now, the archers in the forest had only fired two arrows and pulled the empty string once.

"We can't just let it go like this. The distance from here to here in the forest is forty to fifty steps. To be able to shoot the Iron Feather Arrow so far and keep its accuracy, that is at least a two stone bow. How many times can you pull that bow?"

"That's right, in the square in front of the enclosure, there was a son of the chief of Wasteland Town holding a three stone bow. He had only used up seventy percent of his strength three times, and by this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to shoot out any iron arrows!"

"Perhaps the archer in the forest is the one you saw in the square!"

"Chase after them, chase after them! The two of them won't be able to escape!"

The four or five youths who had previously activated the talisman guarding mustered up their courage and took advantage of the talisman's defensive effect to charge towards the forest once again. This time, there were no iron arrows shooting out from the forest, and the few youths who were still hesitating also quickly caught up. Even among the youths who had deliberately slowed down earlier, there were two or three who had confirmed that the archers in the forest no longer had the strength to fight back and also chased after them.

Besides the two teenagers who were shot by Iron Feather Arrows, there were still three to four teenagers who hadn't given chase. They looked at each other, and seemed to understand their plans. Then, the four teenagers took out their swords and daggers, and walked towards the corpse of the huge Mountain Collision Bull.

The most precious thing about the Mountain Cras.h.i.+ng Bull was that it might give birth to a Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit. However, the rest of its skin, beef and bones were also good ingredients used to temper muscles and bones, and the archers in the forest had superb archery skills. Rather than risking their lives to s.n.a.t.c.h the immortal spirit Spirit, they might as well break down the useful item on the Mountain Cras.h.i.+ng Bull first.There was only one Calculus Bovis Immortal Spirit, but the body of this bull was enough for all.

At that moment, a ray of light flashed across the sky. A soul-stirring pressure had already descended by the stream. The youths who were dissecting the Mountain Catching Bull's corpse paled under this pressure. They all stopped what they were doing.

They saw a pale-faced thirty year old cultivator standing on the treetop looking down at the crowd.

This person was the one called Zhang Fengyi, who had been among the three disciples of the Heaven-Shaking Sect when the Hundred Sparrow Mountain encampment had opened. When the youths were silent like cicadas in winter, this person had already caught sight of the scene in front of them.

"Do the two of you want to continue hunting in the enclosure?"

Zhang Fengyi did not immediately save the two injured youths. Instead, he looked at them as if he was accustomed to seeing them.

The two youths were already scared out of their wits from the arrow wounds on their bodies. Hearing that, they no longer had the courage to continue. They hurriedly cried out, "No, no more!"

"Senior, save me!"

With a wave of his sleeve, two faintly flickering scarlet red spirit runes floated down from the treetops. The instant they fell into the two people's wounds, the two iron arrows immediately broke off and fell from the two sides of the wound.

In the instant that blood gushed out from the wounds, two scarlet spirit light talismans fused into the wounds. The two wounds immediately stopped bleeding and began to form scabs.

At this moment, wail like ghosts and howl like wolves suddenly came from the nearby forest. The sound of noisy footsteps came from the forest, and the few youths who had followed closely behind scrambled out of the forest.All of them were injured with a b.l.o.o.d.y nose and a swollen face.

At a glance, Zhang Fengyi could tell that these youngsters were trapped in the traps set up by the hidden traps in the forest, and these methods were used by seasoned hunters to lay down the traps while hunting in the forest. Thinking of this, an imperceptible smile showed on his face. It's a trained hunter at age of 12or 13, things became interesting.
