Chapter 840: Chapter 411 Hunting the Bone-Winged Horse (4000 words)_2

Most of the other bone-winged horses had the strength of the Qi-Controlling stage, and the young bone-winged horses were protected in the middle, chewing on a piece of black panther meat. This black panther looked quite pitiful, with several bloody holes pierced through its body by bones, and its head completely smashed.

"Troublesome, there are too many of these bone-winged horses."

Jiang Shan’s face was extremely grave. Even for him, dealing with the leader of these bone-winged horses alone was difficult, not to mention the other hunters. The combat power of this group of bone-winged horses was terrifying.

"Be careful, the attack power of the bone-winged horses is very strong, they rely on the bones in their rear to attack. Our target isn’t the colts or stallions, but the old horses that are injured and have impaired mobility. When Lao Qi uses the fire fox blood to drive them, that’s when we strike." Jiang Shan said in a deep voice.

The other hunters also understood their tasks, each one getting ready. Even the battle-hardened hunters felt nervous when facing such late-stage Qi-Controlling desolate beasts, as one careless move could cost them their lives.

Everyone picked up their weapons. Jiang Shan opened a bamboo tube he carried with him, containing fire fox blood, and let everyone dab some of it onto their spears. Fire fox blood was lethal to bone-winged horses; this knowledge came from years of hunting experience shared by the Human Race in Changpan Valley.

"Xiao Houzi, go over there and watch how we deal with these bone-winged horses, learn how to hunt." Jiang Shan told Xiang Beifei to move to a relatively safe hillside nearby.

Xiang Beifei didn’t say much and went over.

Jiang Shan found a position, examining the terrain. It was sunken, a perfect setup for an ambush if the bone-winged horses passed by.

"The target is that old horse, don’t bother with the foals." Jiang Shan instructed again to his subordinates.

In the group, there was an old horse whose bone wings seemed ready to fall off, one bone wing was drooping, and the other was broken, as if it had been cut off in a struggle with some desolate beast. The bone wings were their strongest weapon, losing them was like a tiger losing its claws and teeth. To be safe, Jiang Shan chose to target this old horse.

At this time, Jiang Chuan and his team had each made their way over, surrounding the bone-winged horse group from different directions. In the forest came a "shoo" sound, as a spear dipped with fire fox blood was thrown at the bone-winged horses from behind.

The bone-winged horse group instantly became chaotic, each trying to avoid the spear. The scent of fire fox blood deeply terrified them, causing the herd to scatter with the stallions quickly lifting the foals on their bone wings and began to run.

But from both sides, spears were also thrown out, blocking their escape routes, forcing the herd towards Jiang Shan’s direction.

By this time, Jiang Shan’s side was well-prepared. They did not stop the stallions and young horses as they ran past, because the stallions were tough to handle. As the herd ran past, the old horse at the back was the slowest, limping along.

"Now’s the time!" Jiang Shan shouted.

A few hunters with spears prepared to charge, but at this moment, a sharp neigh resounded, coming from the leader of the bone-winged horses. It seemed to sense something, and with a shrill cry, all the bone-winged horses stopped.

Only then did Jiang Shan’s team realize something was wrong because a young bone-winged horse, perhaps playful, had followed the old horse and separated from the herd!

"Retreat! Retreat!" Jiang Shan urgently shouted.

The bone-winged horse group was extremely protective of their young. If the old horse was in danger, they would not care, but if a foal was in danger, all the bone-winged horses would rush to protect it. This was why Jiang Shan warned everyone not to harm the foals.

At this moment, the strong leader of the bone-winged horses led the charge back, flapping its bone wings towards the young foal. Just as Jiang Shan and his team revealed themselves, the red bone-winged horse saw that it wasn’t its natural enemy, the fire fox, but humans, and immediately let out a fierce killing intent, its sharp bone wings stabbing towards Jiang Shan and the others!

"Retreat!"

Jiang Shan reacted quickly, pushing aside a younger, weaker companion, while he gathered strength to swing his spear towards the bone-winged horse leader’s razor-sharp bone wings!

Bang! Bang!

The spear and bone wings collided, exploding with the sound of metals striking in the forest.

Jiang Shan took a step back, but the bone-winged horse was also pushed back several steps.

"Huh? My strength seems to have increased?"

Jiang Shan was surprised to find that the strength within his body seemed to have upgraded by more than just a level! Normally, he would not be able to compete with this bone-winged horse, but he somehow managed to withstand the attack today and even repelled the opponent!

This was, of course, due to Xiang Beifei, who removed the moonprint gu worm from Jiang Shan’s arm, restoring the strength devoured by the worm back to Jiang Shan’s body. Allowing the Human Race to control their own strength without having to draw it from the moonprint gu worm made them naturally much more powerful!

"It seems the Divine Lord is protecting me!"

Jiang Shan didn’t know the reason, but his spirits were lifted, and his fighting spirit was stirred.

Whoosh!

By this time, the bone-winged horse had once again lifted its bone wings, slashing towards him. The sharp bone wings gleamed like blades, flashing with an icy glow, and with a whooshing sound, they severed the trees nearby at the waist.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The towering trees leaned towards the Hunters, prompting everyone to flee in panic. At this moment, two Hunters happened to be running towards the foal and were spotted by two strong bone-winged horses. Mistaking the Hunters’ intention to harm the foal, the horses immediately neighed loudly and charged!

The young Hunter at the forefront tried to fend them off clumsily with his spear, but before he could lift it, it was quickly swept aside by the bone wings.

"It’s over!"

The young Hunter was left without a spear, plunging into despair as he watched the bone wings, sharp as daggers, slash towards his head!

"Ah Niu!"

From a distance, Jiang Shan shouted, using his spear to fend off the bone wings in a bid to rescue, but he was too far away to lend a hand.

At this precarious moment, a whistling sound was heard from the forest, and an arrow swiftly darted through the leaves, striking right into the eye socket of the charging bone-winged horse with a "whoosh"!

The bone-winged horse let out a miserable cry, propelled by the immense force of the arrow, it was flung far away, colliding with another bone-winged horse. Entangled together, with a "thump," the blade from the first bone-winged horse pierced into the eye socket of the other!

The two bone-winged horses struggled for a moment, gradually ceasing their fight, dead.

"This—"

All the Hunters were stunned!

They had never imagined that two such strong bone-winged horses could meet such a dramatic demise.

One took an arrow to the eye socket, flung away, and its own bone wing even pierced the eye socket of the other bone-winged horse?

What an incredible coincidence?

Whose archery could be so precise?

"The arrow had a white glow when it was shot, could the Divine Envoy have appeared?" someone exclaimed excitedly.

Everyone looked towards the direction from which the arrow flew, and then they were slightly stunned.

The archer wasn’t the winged Divine Envoy, but Xiang Beifei.

"Was it Xiao Houzi’s arrow?"

The Hunters below had just thought of this idea and found it absurd. How could Xiao Houzi possess such skill? He usually didn’t enjoy hunting, didn’t have much strength, and couldn’t even fully draw a bow.

Yet the arrow did indeed come from that direction, and there seemed to be no one else besides him.

Xiang Beifei stood calmly on a branch, holding a bow and arrow.

Dealing with desolate beasts of this level was as easy as turning over a hand for him. Normally, he wouldn’t even bother to act against beasts of this strength because they were just too weak.

However, for the humans here, taking out two bone-winged horses with archery was like a myth; only someone with terrifying abilities could achieve such a feat!

At this point, another bone-winged horse raced towards Ah Niu with a whistling sound.

"Dodge!"

Xiang Beifei shouted at the stunned Ah Niu, then unhurriedly retrieved another arrow from his back, strung it on the bow, aiming at the bone-winged horse!

Whoosh!

The fierce arrow shot out again, transforming into a faint light, and in an instant, pierced through the eye socket of that bone-winged horse as well!

"He... he shot it again!"

"It really is Xiao Houzi!"

These Hunters were all in shock!

They hadn’t expected Xiao Houzi’s archery to reach such a level, penetrating the eye socket of a bone-winged horse with one arrow after another!

With just two arrows, three bone-winged horses were killed!
