Jiang Cheng's expression changed. He hurriedly leaned against the tree hole and looked into the distance.
A large herd of bison was charging at the temporary camp. These bison looked like cattle, but their color was slightly green. Jiang Cheng thought, 'Maybe we should call them green bison.'
Anyway, those bison were very ferocious. It was unknown if they were migrating or running from something. They charged recklessly in various directions, trampling whatever came in their way.
Moo, moo, moo!
The two-meter-tall green bison charged in a direction.
Jiang Cheng realized that the direction the bison was heading in was exactly the direction they were heading in. He wondered if it was a coincidence.
These bison were all very tall and wild, and they were extremely powerful. Once they identified a direction, they would charge forward without any regard for their lives. There were many of them, not less than hundreds.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng realized that even the bison that did not charge into the temporary camp was attacked. He immediately guessed that those people on the Terrawheeler might also want to hunt these bison for fresh food. After all, synthetic food couldn't beat the real thing. With all these bison around, it seemed inevitable that they would go on a wild hunt.
However, those bison were really reckless. They knew the danger that lay ahead, but that didn't stop them from charging ahead at breakneck speed. Sadly, some ordinary people in the temporary camp bore the brunt of their rampage, and there were even a few casualties.
Thankfully, the Terrawheeler's auxiliary cannons were also activated just in time.
BOOM!
A single shot would have flattened everything within a 15-meter radius. The power was so great that it even frightened a charging herd of bison. Some of the green bison were afraid of the artillery fire and ran around in a panic.
When Jiang Cheng saw a bison charging toward them, he was tempted. He quickly checked the cannons and machine guns on the Terrawheeler, as well as the direction of the bison herd. Once he confirmed that there were no stray bullets flying in their direction, he focused on the bison charging toward him. The green bison was very fast, with red eyes and a crazed demeanor. But because it was scared, it was also a little flustered.
Seeing that the bison was getting closer and closer, Jiang Cheng, who was at the entrance of the tree cave, took out his Tang Dynasty Sword. His heart raced as he was extremely afraid. He was aware that this kind of bison was a normal bison or cattle people would raise in his previous life. In fact, even cattle were not animals to be taken lightly. However, when he thought about how large the amount of food he needed to speed up his evolution, he made up his mind.
Finally, the green bison arrived at the foot of the giant tree. The moment it was about to pass under the tree hole, he identified the calculated position and jumped out. He aimed the Tang Dynasty Sword he was holding at the bison's neck.
Moo...
The green bison sensed Jiang Cheng's attack and sped up. Thus, he quickly and accurately stabbed his sword into the back of the bison. With a clang, the tip of the knife broke through the thick skin with great difficulty. Then, it was actually blocked by the bone and barely managed to penetrate one centimeter.
"What the hell! How is that even possible?" exclaimed Jiang Cheng, taken aback by the bison's strength. With his weight and the sharpness of the blade, the sword could only penetrate two to three centimeters!
Moo!
As the green bison let out a loud roar of pain, it shook its body violently and darted around in chaos. Jiang Cheng had already landed on its back, but quickly gripped his straight sword tightly as he was about to be thrown off. In the midst of the chaos, an idea suddenly struck him, and he instinctively used the fusing skill.
The Tang Dynasty Sword in his hand instantly heated up. Then, the tip of the saber quickly broke through the hard bone and stabbed deeply into it, leaving only the hilt exposed.
Moo!
The green bison went berserk, jumping and rolling.
Jiang Cheng was flung three to four meters away; the Tang Dynasty Sword was also dragged out. Blood started spurting out from the bison's back causing it to instantly deflate and roll away. Jiang Cheng, on the other hand, rolled around on the ground in pain for a few moments before finally coming to a stop. The impact left him with numerous bruises on his body.
Moo!
The green bison was pierced in its internal organs, and blood spurted out of its back like a fountain. It struggled to stand up but couldn't move. All it could do was howl miserably.
Jiang Cheng struggled to get up and looked at it coldly. He was a little anxious, worried someone would try to steal his prey. At the entrance of the tree hole behind him, Tong Xiaorou and Yaya stood in shock, covering their mouths.
Fortunately, the sword had hit a vital part of the bison. After struggling for around ten seconds, it lost all its strength and slowly shut its eyes. The flow of blood from its back gradually reduced.
Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached to collect his kill. He was afraid someone might try to steal it as many people were close by.
Moo...
Suddenly, the bison on the ground jumped up. Blood spurted out from its back again, and its eyes were bloodshot as it charged toward Jiang Cheng.
"F*ck!" Jiang Cheng was so scared that he did a backflip to avoid the bison's desperate attack.
Thud!
The bison rushed out three to four meters before collapsing to the ground. It was unable to move again, and blood spurted from its back for two seconds before slowly gushing out, as if it had no strength left.
"What the f*ck! It actually knows how to sneak attack?!" Jiang Cheng, with a face full of anger and lingering fear, got up and muttered,
At the entrance of the tree cave, Tong Xiaorou and Yaya were terrified and on the verge of tears. Their faces were pale; they were filled with lingering fear. They couldn't imagine what they would do if something happened to Jiang Cheng. Their lives had finally improved, and they couldn't bear the thought of everything falling apart.
[HP +0.1]
Jiang Cheng's HP increased by 0.1 points, likely due to his potential had been forced out. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and felt a slight increase in body heat. The stamina that he had consumed in the instant burst of energy just now quickly returned, and it seemed that his physique had become stronger. Although the increase in HP was only 0.1, it was still significant as it had now reached 2.7, which was more than twice that of an ordinary person. The Wildlings, who were mostly malnourished, probably didn't even have one point of HP, making him stronger than them.
"Nice work! I almost had a heart attack!" Jiang Cheng said as he approached the bison cautiously from behind, choosing not to walk in front. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the bison had stopped moving and had no last breath. He quickly placed his hand on the bison hide and activated his gathering skill.
[Bison Meat +2]
[Bison Meat +2]
[Bison Hide +1]
[Tenderloin +1]
[Bison Bone +1]
...
Various materials were being gathered. Suddenly, a man was spotted running over from a distance. Jiang Cheng halted his activities and picked up his Tang Dynasty Sword, recognizing the person from their encounter under the tree the night before. When the man saw Jiang Cheng and the dead bison, greed appeared in his eyes.
"Back off!" Jiang Cheng berated.
However, that man did not retreat. With a face full of greed, he smiled and said, "Your kill is pretty massive. You can't possibly finish it all on your own. Why don't you give me some? I don't want any good parts. Any leftover pieces will do."
Jiang Cheng walked over with the Tang Dynasty Sword. "I want to trade it for water. There won't be any pieces left."
Immediately, the man's face darkened as he sneered, "It shouldn't be easy for you to kill this bison, right? You probably got injured and just trying to bluff me."
WHOOSH!
Jiang Cheng rushed toward the man with his straight sword and slashed down.
"You're..." The man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used his wooden spear to block.
However, the Tang Dynasty Sword, which had been strengthened further, broke the wooden spear and then split open his glabella.
"...an Evolver." The man's face was filled with fear, and then he slowly fell down.
The expressions of the spectators changed. They hurriedly retreated.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath of relief. He knew that if more attackers came at him, it would be challenging to defend himself and he might even get injured.
He didn't dare to waste any more time. He hurriedly went back to harvest his kill.
The battle in the distance had already stopped. More than half of the herd of bison had been slaughtered, and the rest had run away. Some of the bison that were lucky enough to survive ran away in the direction they were advancing.
Back at the camp, everyone was busy cleaning up the battlefield and seizing the prey.
