Unbeknownst to the five men, in the distance, someone was tailing them, they did not notice it since all their attention was focused on the deer that was fleeing with its full force.
...
For the course of the next two hours, a seemingly chasing event unfolds.
In front is the severely wounded deer running for its life and on its tail was David and the other 4 men chasing it, followed by Drake keeping the distance between the two.
.....
"F*** why this beast did not get tired."
David was extremely helpless, it had been six hours.
6 hours of chasing an injured deer!
If he did not see the wound on the deer's back, he would think that they were chasing a completely healthy deer!
"David, should we stop chasing it?" Khael asks worriedly while nocking an arrow to his bow and shooting at the deer consecutively.
Unfortunately, the deer is so fast that it always dodges whenever he fires an arrow.
For several hours they had been chasing the deer in the depths of the forest, Khael was afraid that they might attract the attention of other animals. If that happens it will become troublesome.
However.
"No, the deer speed already started to slow down, wait a little longer," David answered Khael followed by the sound of agreement from his back.
They already wasted a lot of time, they are unwilling to go home without the big fish.
If they return without the deer they are likely to regret it later and if the villager learns that they let an injured precious meat escape, they will surely become a laughing stock.
Drake who was silently following them on the back shook his head.
Though he did not hear what they were talking about, he had an idea based on the slight change in their movements, hesitation, and the small sound that managed to enter his ear.
Even he will be reluctant to let that beast escape!
What? This is a rare opportunity to kill an injured beast and there is also a great reward waiting for him.
And... gulped the beast meat.
Qi Foundation beast meat should be tastier than normal animal meat, right? right?
While in the middle of his wandering thoughts, David and the other 4 men finally catch up to the deer.
Upon stopping, David and the others were panting heavily, their eyes finally showing excitement and a furious look.
"Hah...hah... finally," David said with more emotion, it felt like they were chasing this beast for a day.
David looked at the four men and gestured, immediately upon seeing the gesture, the five of them encircled the beast, ensuring that the deer could not escape even if it tried.
Khael nocked an arrow to his bow, he aimed at the deer in the middle, slowly pulling the string of his bow with great strength.
His figure looks like one with a bow.
When he found the perfect timing, Khael breathed slightly before releasing the string.
Swish!
His posture is perfect and his breathing is stable, indicating his deep mastery of using the bow.
Immediately the arrow travels in the air and hits the deer on its front leg. Although Khael manages to hit the deer on its leg, there's no satisfaction on his face.
The arrow only leaves a five-centimeter deep wound.
Qi Foundation beast is still Qi Foundation beast.
Although the deer was severely injured, its natural defense was still there.
It is said that after a person or a beast advances to the Qi Foundation, the spirit qi will automatically strengthen the body of the cultivator based on its cultivation realm.
The higher the realm is the stronger the body will be.
This is the reason why there is no such a Body Cultivation for Qi Foundation and above.
After seeing that there was only a minimal effect from the arrow Khael released, the other 4 men started to attack the deer.
They will advance to hit the deer and will instantly step back if the beast targets them.
Slowly the deer started to accumulate injuries, though most of the injuries dealt were small, they were many to the point that the injuries stock on top of other injuries.
The deer wails and attacks the person nearby.
fortunately, the other party is prepared, after seeing the deer attack, the man immediately evades to the side and attacks the deer on its stomach.
David, Khael, and the other two men moved and attacked the deer from all angles, their teamwork can be said to be great.
If nothing unexpected happened in the next few minutes the deer will die.
Sure enough, after attacking the animal for half a minute it suddenly stopped, the single horn on its head glows in the faint yellow light that immediately shoots a beam of yellow light to the person in front of it.
Caught by surprise, the man could not avoid it in time, he could only desperately raise his hands to protect his head from the beam of light.
Boom!
A loud sound echoed.
David, Khael, and the other two men stop and look in the direction of the man who receives the beam.
The man got blasted by the explosion and hit the tree on his back, he was leaning on the tree, bleeding on its seven orifices and unconscious. His left hand was mangled while his right hand was broken.
It's unknown if the man was alive or had already died from his injuries.
Seeing the four men stop, the deer tried to escape. Fortunately, David saw this and immediately intercepted the deer.
"What are you doing stop dozing up!" David yells waking the three men from their daze.
"Let's continue to attack and kill this monster after that, we will take him to the village immediately."
The three men nodded.
The attack of the deer released just now is out of their expectation, fortunately, it lacks intelligence it only releases its innate ability after it feels like its life is in a critical situation.
After attacking, David, Khael, and the other two men will instantly move to the side. They are afraid that the deer will release another beam of light.
By doing this, the risk they would take will become minimal.
If this time nothing unexpected happened the deer will surely die.
