"Violent beast Striped Snake!"
Ye Tian stared at the two-meter-long massive snake 5 meters away. This snake wasn't particularly powerful. An average martial disciple can deal with it as long as they don't get tangled up in it. Even a martial disciple with 250kg of strength would not be able to break free once coiled up by it.
The Striped Snake instantly slithered towards Ye Tian and launched its attack.
Ye Tian didn't try to dodge it. With his [Speed] talent, dodging the Striped Snake was easy, but there wasn't a need for it.
A flash of his knife. The body of the Striped Snake then hardened and fell onto the ground. After shaking for a while, it died. If one were to look carefully, the 7-inch thick body of the Striped Snake was cut open by Ye Tian's knife.
"Too weak!"
Ye Tian shook his head. He then extracted the Striped Snake's eyes. This was the required proof for the trial that he had killed a Striped Snake, allowing him to exchange for a point.
The most common violent beast in this small wilderness area was the Striped Snake. Rumor has it that a large snake-like vicious beast once lived here. These Striped Snakes were the offspring of the massive snake's bloodline. One day, a group of [Elite] martial artists worked together to kill this massive snake and then clean up the remaining vicious beasts in this small wilderness area. This is what enabled the creation of this small wilderness area.
This information was provided by a teacher on the way here. Ye Tian had no idea if it was true.
Soon, 12 hours went by. The night had begun to descend.
"I didn't get much today!"
Ye Tian opened his cloth bag and counted carefully. The violent beast materials that he had collected only amounted to 23 points.
For an average student, the points weren't that bad. However, it's not enough to compete for the top 3, even getting into the top 10 will be hard.
The night is dangerous because human eyes are affected by the darkness, making it difficult to spot some violent beasts. As a result, it is advised not to hunt for violent beasts at night, as this increases the likelihood of being killed.
On top of the tree, there were Striped Snakes. It's easy to avoid being attacked by them if one is cautious and pays attention to their surroundings.
Even if the Striped Snakes attacked, Ye Tian's reflexes and speed would make it a piece of cake to deal with.
A night without commotion.
The next morning, after eating a roasted rabbit, Ye Tian continued his hunt. This time, he went deeper into the small wilderness area. There are stronger violent beasts in the inner areas. Killing one of them gives 5 to 6 points, far more than those in the outer areas.
"Help!"
"Save us!"
Soft voices requests for assistance reached Ye Tian's ears. Wolf howls could also be heard at the same time.
"Did someone encounter a wolf pack?"
Ye Tian thought.
After contemplating for a while, he ran towards the wolf pack. He didn't have the intention to save those people. What he wanted was the points from these wolves, especially the Fang Wolf. Each of them is worth 10 points, much more than killing those average violent beasts.
In a short period of time, Ye Tian reached an empty area. Not far away, there were around 10 Fang Wolves surrounding 7 to 8 students. There were also corpses on the ground.
"Zhang Bao!"
Ye Tian saw Zhang Bao, one of the students that he had a good relationship with.
However, Zhang Bao is in a critical condition. He's bleeding. His face is white. Holding on to his bow and waving it around, it looked like he's on his last leg.
Upon seeing Zhang Bao and his gang's situation, Ye Tian thought that it was natural. Their team members were weak. Even if they banded together, they would still be food if they came across a large, violent beast.
Ye Tian already knew that these guys wouldn't have any chance of obtaining the vicious beast blood. However, he didn't tell them. After all, everyone has hopes.
Wielding his bow, Ye Tian aimed at one of the Fang Wolves and shot at it. The arrow pierced its body. Sadly, it wasn't hit on its weak spot but it still hurt the Wolf Fang.
"Aauuu!"
Fang Wolves noticed Ye Tian and ran towards him.
Zhang Bao and his gang saw someone approaching towards them. They thought they had hope to survive, but upon knowing that it was Ye Tian, they despaired.
Zhang Bao recognized Ye Tian and was aware of his strength. Just like him, a student who had just recently become a martial disciple.
"Ye Tian, hurry and get away from here! These Fang Wolves aren't foes that you can deal with!" Zhang Bao shouted.
"This fatty isn't bad. He actually didn't want to drag me down with them!" Ye Tian felt Zhang Bao's sincerity and decided to save them.
If Ye Tian used all his strength, he could easily kill all these Fang Wolves within a short period of time. However, that would create a ton of problems for him.
"I should hold back a little"
Ye Tian thought.
A Fang Wolf is as strong as a martial disciple with 250kg of strength. It would be difficult for him to face it head on.
Ye Tian used his knife techniques and a little bit of speed. He maintained 1.5x of his speed to keep his distance with the Fang Wolves. Using his [Medium] [Knife Arts] talent, he could grasp the timing to swing his knife and kill the wolves.
The sharp knife pierced a Fang Wolf's neck, killing it. Regardless of how the Fang Wolves attacked Ye Tian, he appeared to be able to see into the future and dodged them at the last moment. A Fang Wolf, on the other hand, will be killed every time he swung his knife.
Before long, there were around 10 Fang wolves laying on the ground. There was blood on Ye Tian's body. Those were the blood of the Fang Wolves.
"Are you guys, okay?"
Ye Tian hid his knife then looked at Zhang Bao and his gang.
"We're… fine"
Zhang Bao's eyes were wide open. He swallowed his saliva and stuttered.
"These Fang Wolves were killed by me. I'll be harvesting the rewards. You guys don't mind right?" Ye Tian asked.
"We don't mind!"
The group shook their heads.
How could they dare argue? These violent Fang Wolves were killed by Ye Tian alone. Their lives were saved by Ye Tian. Even if they're stupid, they wouldn't ask for a share of the rewards.
Wolf fangs are the only evidence of killing a Fang Wolf.
Ye Tian didn't need all of the wolf's fangs. He only needed the two foretooth of the wolves. Ten or more (?) wolf fangs were packed together to form a large bag.
Fortunately, Ye Tian has a strength of 150kg. The weight of these stuff amounted to nothing.
"I'll give you guys some advice. It's better to get out of here. With your strengths, it's hard to obtain the vicious beast blood. Don't get yourself killed. You only have one life. You can obtain vicious beast blood later in the future!"
Ye Tian advised them and left.
Upon hearing it, Zhang Bao's expression changed. He said: "Ye Tian, with your strength and these wolf fangs, obtaining a vicious beast's blood shouldn't be a problem. If you want a better ranking, I have information which may help you. Though I'm not too sure if I should tell you?"
"Say it!"
Ye Tian said curiously.
"There is a pseudo vicious beast Striped Snake in this small wilderness area. The First Academy's students went to kill that Striped Snake. That Striped Snake is worth 500 points."
Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and spoke. He didn't know if telling Ye Tian this information would be good or bad for him.
"What? A pseudo vicious beast Striped Snake!"
Ye Tian was shocked. But more importantly, he was tempted by the 500 points. If he can obtain the eyes of the said pseudo vicious beast Striped Snake, then becoming first place is a given.
