Chapter Forty-Six Instinct

  In the swift passage of time, autumn has arrived, and the lush green forest gradually turned yellow, filling the sky and earth with a desolate feeling.

  Han Jin stood on a small hill, quietly looking down at the ground below. It had been four months since he left Shi Yi Zhen, and during this time, he had been steadily cultivating his energy, which now approached thirty Jia. By the standards of this world, he was already considered a fourth-tier professional. His progress was so rapid that it left Mo Xinkē and Xiān Nièr stunned.

  Of course, compared to Mo Xingke, there is still a huge gap. Han Jin's confidence mostly comes from the collection in his spatial ring. From the day Sasuke returned the restored spatial ring to him, Han Jin became a collector. His spatial ring already has more than ten fire talismans and thunder talismans stored inside, while the Five Ghosts' Transportation Curse has reached over forty talismans, and there are also seven wooden puppet talismans, which can fully cope with ordinary battles.

  Mo Xinke stood beside Han Jin, his tall and sturdy figure was like an immovable mountain. Since he truly mastered the Star River Fist Technique, his temperament had become more stable than before, with a hint of 'I am a master' flavor. Of course, this was just his facade, once he relaxed, he would always do something that made people laugh and cry.

  At the foot of the mountain, several iron-skinned wild cows are leisurely eating grass roots. In a few days, this group of iron-skinned wild cows should also migrate southward, because they only like to eat green grass and leaves, and are not interested in withered yellow forests.

  The little buffalo that was saved by Jin's progress grew extremely fast, and in just three months, its back height had almost reached one meter. Its personality was also very lively. One moment it would rush up the small hill, but when no one paid attention to it, it would turn around and rush down again. Then it would chase after butterflies on the side of the road, or trample on beetles crawling on the ground, never stopping for a moment.

  During this period, the Barbarian Cow group can be said to have made great contributions. In the past, when hunting, Xanier and others never dared to provoke the herds of magical beasts. With the help of the Barbarian Cow group, it doesn't matter anymore. They always injure a few magical beasts first, then lead the enraged herd to this place, letting the Barbarian Cow group take the lead.

  That little savage cow played a crucial role, perhaps because it was transformed by the Ling Shou's ritual material symbol, so it looked down on other magical beasts. Perhaps it was because when it was very young, it almost died in the mouth of the Great Earth Bear, and had a deep-seated hatred for all magical beasts that emitted dangerous auras. As long as it saw any magical beast invading their territory, it would always be the first to charge forward, resulting in the entire savage cow herd's group charge.

  Giant lizards, flash leopards, and even packs of over thirty wind wolves didn't know how many demons the barbarian cattle had trampled. Of course, when the barbarian cattle encountered danger, Xanier and Mo Xinke would never sit idly by and watch them get hurt. In fact, the iron-skinned barbarian cattle had also grown accustomed to cooperating with this group of humans, although they couldn't understand why demons came to bother them every day...

  "Xian Ni'er hasn't come back yet? Nothing's happened to her, has it?" Han Jin said with a frown.

  "Xian Ni Er said that there are no longer any high-level magical beasts around here, she wants to go further away today." Mo Xin rubbed his head: "Maybe...she ran too far."

  "It should be back by now." Han Jin looked up at the sky, it was already past noon.

  Just then, a faint cry came from the front, and in an instant, Xian Ni'er's figure jumped out from the mountain slope on the other side of the small hill, turned around to open her longbow and shoot an arrow, and then ran down the mountain slope again.

  Two tall figures emerged, their appearance was extremely strange, like two walking tree trunks, whether it was the four limbs stretched out or the bark covering the whole body, all could be described as "towering".

  Eighth-tier demonic beast, Tree Ogre! And there are two of them!! Han Jin was shocked, but compared to Xian Ni Er, the Tree Ogres' movements seemed very slow. Xian Ni Er ran freely, then stopped and turned around again, drawing her longbow. The two Tree Ogres were already riddled with arrows, looking just like two giant targets.

  A group of fierce bulls gathered restlessly together, the leading iron-skinned bull letting out a low growl, seemingly warning those two tree demons.

  Upon hearing the fierce bellowing, the two tree demons immediately stopped moving. Although the Iron Skin Barbaric Cows were herbivorous magical beasts, they possessed tough skin armor, ferocious charging power, and sharp horns. Moreover, they always moved in herds, making most magical beasts wary of them.

  Xian Ni'er stopped there, slowly drawing her longbow, with a very lazy expression, as if mocking and provoking at the same time. With a flick of her finger, an arrow shot out like lightning, hitting a tree demon's body right on target.

  The tree ogre shook slightly, then took big strides towards Xian Ni'er. In fact, the tree ogre's capturing ability was very poor, and its mobility was even worse. It could only guard a fixed spot and wait for rabbits to come to it, using its appearance to make monsters lose their vigilance. When the monster approached, it would suddenly launch an attack. The tree ogre's claws were composed of countless root-like branches, soft yet tough, with thorns all over them. The thorns could pierce through a monster's body, allowing it to absorb blood. What was frightening about the tree ogre was its claws; once struck by them, one would be unable to move until death.

  The little wild cow's breathing gradually became heavier, and then it ran faster and faster, charging straight at the two tree demons. The wild cows saw that the tree demons ignored their warnings and forcibly entered their territory, and they all rushed towards the mountain slope together. One of the iron-skinned wild cows left the team and chased after the little wild cow in a slanting direction, and with a single nudge of its body, it knocked the little wild cow to the ground.

  The little buffalo let out a dissatisfied cry, struggling to get up, but the iron-skinned buffalo was too cunning and pressed down on the little buffalo's belly with half of its body. The little buffalo kicked frantically, sending grass, mud, and stones flying everywhere, but it couldn't turn over.

  Xian Ni Er was already familiar with the battle procedure, first letting the barbaric cows make way for her, then continuing to retreat backwards, luring the two tree demons down below. The two tree demons had been entangled with Xian Ni Er for half a day and were already enraged, recklessly chasing after her.

  The iron-skinned barbaric cows, seeing the tree demon's determination to deeply invade their territory, finally became enraged. This type of magical beast is usually very docile, but once threatened, they will burst forth with unrelenting fighting spirit.

  The leading iron-skinned bull gradually accelerated, and the entire herd of bulls turned into a surging tide of steel-blue color, unstoppable. Those bodies weighing several thousand catties made the ground tremble, and pairs of horns flashing with cold light pointed towards the tree demon in the distance.

  Compared to wolf packs, the barbaric cows never knew what it meant to be circuitous. After all, they weren't carnivorous magical beasts and couldn't understand hunting techniques. They only knew how to explosively release their most ferocious strength within the shortest distance!
