The Scarlet Blood Ganoderma was very useful to Ye Xing!
However, Ye Xing frowned. As a precious mid-grade herb, how could the Scarlet Blood Ganoderma not have a fierce beast guarding it?
Near the Scarlet Blood Ganoderma, there was a colorful leopard about three meters long lying on its stomach.
This leopard's head was much bigger than an ordinary leopard. It was even bigger than a tiger's head.
However, its body was not as fat and heavy as a tiger's. It was streamlined and made people think of one word — speed!
This was a mid-grade fierce beast — Iron Head Leopard.
The ranks of fierce beasts were divided by martial artists according to their strength. A mid-grade fierce beast was equivalent to a martial artist in the fourth to sixth stage of the Martial Path.
As for the Iron Head Leopard, its speed and attack power were top notch. Even among the mid-level fierce beasts, it was famous for its ferocity. Even if a martial artist in the fourth stage of the Martial Path encountered it, they would die without a doubt.
"To hunt or not to hunt?"
Ye Xing's mind was filled with two thoughts. He wanted to hunt the Iron Head Leopard but the risk was too high, making him hesitate.
"Although my cultivation has reached the peak of the second stage of the Martial Path, it is still a bit difficult to take that step into the third stage of the Martial Path. It will take some time!"
"The Perfect Explosive Bone Fist has been cultivated to the large success stage. The low-grade herbs will not be able to support the later stages of cultivation. If there are no mid-grade herbs, it will take much longer to cultivate to the great perfection stage than to step into the third stage of the Martial Path!"
"If I can obtain this Scarlet Blood Ganoderma, whether it is stepping into the third stage of the Martial Path or cultivating the Perfect Explosive Bone Fist to the great perfection stage, it will be easy. When the conditions are right, success will come naturally. It will save a lot of time …!"
… …
After thinking about it, Ye Xing's idea of hunting the Iron Head Leopard took the upper hand. After all, the Scarlet Blood Ganoderma was too big for him. Moreover, he was very confident in his archery skills.
In a head-on battle, ten Ye Xing would not be the Iron Head Leopard's opponent. However, he had a bow and arrow in his hands, so there was a chance of killing it.
Bows and arrows were different from ordinary weapons. With a bow in hand, one could kill a target that was several times stronger than oneself, or even ten times stronger than oneself. The key was in one's use of the bow and arrow.
"There is still half a month before the main house's emissary arrives at Green Leaf Village. At that time, the Yeh family will hold a clan meeting. I must step into the third stage of the Martial Path as soon as possible. Only then will I have a chance to defeat Ye Qing and be chosen by the main house's emissary to go to Azure Sky City. I will experience stronger martial artists and learn higher level martial arts. If I miss this opportunity, I will have to wait for another year in Green Leaf Village. Therefore, I must not miss it!"
Ye Xing's eyes were filled with determination. He had already made his decision.
His goal was to become a Martial Saint, a peerless expert. Therefore, he had to explore the wider world and learn higher level martial arts.
The younger one was, the more precious time was. He didn't want to miss this opportunity and wait another year in Qingye Village.
He held the iron bow in his hand. With the bow in hand, he was filled with confidence.
He felt like he was in a fantasy world, holding a longbow and fighting a boss alone. Now, in his eyes, the Iron Head Leopard was a boss.
And now, he wanted to display his hunter's nature. With the bow in his hand, he would hunt the Iron Head Leopard alone.
An hour later, Ye Xing arrived at the valley where the Iron Head Leopard and the Scarlet Blood Lingzhi were.
There weren't many trees in this valley, so the field of vision was relatively wide. Ye Xing crawled forward on the ground, approaching the Iron Head Leopard.
The wind kept blowing. Ye Xing's direction was downwind of the Iron Head Leopard. The Iron Head Leopard lying on the ground faintly smelled a strange odor. It sniffed twice with its nose and then disappeared. It didn't pay it any attention.
Ye Xing continued to approach!
Suddenly, the Iron Head Leopard on the ground moved. Its upper body stood up and its eyes swept in all directions. Its ears perked up to listen.
At this time, Ye Xing was still a hundred and fifty to sixty meters away from the Iron Head Leopard.
Obviously, the Iron Head Leopard's sensitivity was much higher than that of low-level ferocious beasts. When Ye Xing hunted low-level ferocious beasts, he had successfully lurked about a hundred meters away before the target was alerted.
The range of the iron bow was far beyond a hundred and fifty to sixty meters. However, to accurately shoot the vital points of the Iron Head Leopard from a hundred and fifty to sixty meters away was an extremely difficult task.
Not only did this require a strong arm to ensure that the arrow would not deviate within a hundred and fifty to sixty meters, but it also required accurate eyesight to lock on to the target.
Even a Martial Warrior would find it difficult to achieve this.
This distance was almost the limit of Ye Xing's shooting range. It was easy for accidents to happen. He decided to continue lurking and wait for the Iron Head Leopard's alertness to lower before shooting at it when he got closer. This way, the possibility of accidents would be minimized.
However, things didn't develop according to Ye Xing's expectations.
After the Iron Head Leopard stood up and scanned the area for a while, it didn't continue to lie down. Instead, it stood up and stretched. Then, it started to walk, as if it was patrolling its territory.
Ye Xing cursed inwardly. This way, the Iron Head Leopard would definitely discover his presence. Seeing the Iron Head Leopard walking in his direction, Ye Xing didn't hesitate. He already had an azurite arrow nocked on the bow, pulled it to a full moon, and aimed at the Iron Head Leopard's eyes.
Whoosh —
The azurite arrow shot out from the bowstring with a sharp sound, heading straight for the Iron Head Leopard's right eye.
The Iron Head Leopard was very fast. Ye Xing had to attack from a distance. Otherwise, if the distance was too close, the Iron Head Leopard would rush up to him in a few breaths.
The Iron Head Leopard's head was like steel. Only its eyes and ears were its weak points. At this moment, Ye Xing was right in front of the Iron Head Leopard. The only weak point he could shoot was the Iron Head Leopard's eyes.
However, the Iron Head Leopard was in a vigilant state, so it wasn't easy to kill it. The Iron Head Leopard's reaction was very fast. The loud sound of the arrow piercing through the air made its ears twitch, and its head immediately tilted to the side.
Ding —
The azurite arrow hit the Iron Head Leopard's head. The sound of metal hitting metal rang out, and the azurite arrow carried a piece of flesh with it as it ricocheted to the side.
Although the Iron Head Leopard's head was bleeding, it didn't even hurt its bones. It was just a superficial wound.
The Iron Head Leopard let out a loud roar when it was attacked. It bent its body and leaped up. With a whoosh, it rushed towards Ye Xing's direction as fast as the wind.
Ye Xing had already stood up, but he didn't turn around to run. Although he wasn't slow, he couldn't compare to the Iron Head Leopard's speed. If he turned around and ran now, the Iron Head Leopard would catch up to him in a few breaths. Then, he would die without a complete corpse. Even if he had a super brain, he wouldn't be able to escape from the Iron Head Leopard.
The more tense the situation was, the clearer Ye Xing's mind was. He didn't panic at all.
Apart from the fact that Ye Xing's brain was a superbrain, his experience in the fantasy world was also a major factor.
Only by being calm and not panicking could he fight a boss alone.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xing took out another azure-gold arrow and nocked it on the bow.
Ye Xing's eyes were fixed on the Iron Head Leopard that was rushing toward him. He ignored everything in front of him. Only the Iron Head Leopard's body was scanned by his super brain.
The Iron Head Leopard was magnified several times in the super brain's scan. Its blood flow, the movement of its bones, the changes in its muscles, the transmission of power, the trajectory of its movements … Every single movement was quickly analyzed by the super brain.
Whoosh —
Only two breaths later, Ye Xing shot again. The second azure-gold arrow was shot out with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
In an instant!
The azurite arrow accurately hit the Iron Head Leopard's right knee joint!
It was the moment the Iron Head Leopard's right leg jumped up from the ground. It had just used up all its strength, so its muscles were the most relaxed. It was also the moment when the two bones were the most separated.
If it wasn't for the super brain's scan, it would be impossible to capture this moment.
The azurite arrow accurately hit the space between the two bones. It forcefully broke through some of the soft bones and stabbed into the joint.
The Iron Head Leopard's right knee joint was suddenly hit by the arrow, so it lost its balance. It was moving forward too quickly, so it instantly fell to the ground. It rolled a few times, and a ditch was formed in the grass.
Ye Xing seized the chance. After he fired the arrow, he immediately turned around and ran. At the same time, he took out the third arrow and nocked it on his Iron Body Bow.
After running for more than twenty meters, Ye Xing immediately turned around. At that moment, the Iron Head Leopard that was rolling on the ground had just stabilized its body. It bit off the azurite arrow that was stuck in its right knee joint. It endured the pain in its leg and continued to charge at Ye Xing with a roar.
Even though the arrowhead was stuck in its joints, the Iron-Headed Leopard's speed did not slow down much. It was only a few dozen meters away from Ye Xing. If Ye Xing had not turned around and ran for more than 20 meters when he pulled out the arrow, the Iron-Headed Leopard would have already rushed in front of him.
But now, Ye Xing had more than twenty meters of space, so he fired the third arrow.
Whoosh — —
The sharp sound of the arrow piercing through the air was very ear-piercing. The Iron Head Leopard was hit again. The azurite arrow hit the Iron Head Leopard's left knee joint.
Although Ye Xing wasn't nervous or panicked, it didn't mean that he didn't pay attention to it. He was highly focused. Every arrow he shot, he used his greatest strength. The power of the arrows was extremely terrifying.
The Iron Head Leopard fell to the ground again.
With the experience of being hit by an arrow last time, this time the Iron Head Leopard only rolled and stabilized its body. It continued to charge at Ye Xing.
Both of its knee joints were hit. Even though the Iron Head Leopard's body was strong and its bones were like steel, it still staggered and couldn't maintain its balance.
This time, Ye Xing didn't run. Instead, he stood in the same place. He quickly took out the fourth azurite arrow and nocked it on the bow.
At this moment, the Iron-Head Leopard noticed that its two front legs were not listening to its commands. It let out a loud roar and kicked its two strong hind legs. Its body directly jumped up and pounced on Ye Xing.
This pounce was more than twenty meters away. If Ye Xing had turned and ran when he pulled out the arrow, he might have been hit by the Iron Head Leopard's pounce. The consequences would have been unimaginable.
Unfortunately, Ye Xing, who had a superbrain, could see the Ironhead Leopard's power flow clearly. He had already predicted that the Ironhead Leopard would pounce on him.
So, he nocked the arrow and pulled the bow. Just as the Iron Head Leopard opened its mouth and pounced, the azurite arrow instantly left the bowstring and shot into the Iron Head Leopard's mouth.
The Iron Head Leopard cried out and fell in front of Ye Xing.
