Chapter 23 - 23

 "Come and bite me if you dare. I wonder if you can still be that fast after eating so much," Yuan Ye said and took off running. It was so frustrating, truly so frustrating. His treasures were robbed, and he only managed to retrieve a few in the end. Yuan Ye had really fallen into the hands of this little magical beast today. He had been deceived by the little magical beast's cute appearance. Returning to the small wooden cabin, the treasure - hunting journey had taken two months for a round trip. During these two months, it seemed that nothing had changed. Yuan Ye pushed the door open and entered, but the small wooden cabin was empty. "Xi, Uncle Rui, I'm back. I've brought you good things," Yuan Ye shouted loudly many times, but there was no response for a long time. "No, they should have been back from hunting by this time," Yuan Ye frowned tightly. Immediately, he looked around and found that the bows and arrows commonly used by Rui Xi and her father were gone, several pieces of clothes were missing, and the medicinal herbs and fire - starting tools had also been taken away. It seemed that they had gone on a long - distance hunting trip. "Why would they take all the clothes for hunting? It's not like I was on a treasure - hunting trip. Does it need to take so long?" Yuan Ye scratched his head. However, after confirming that Rui Xi and her father had left on their own, Yuan Ye felt relieved. After all, Rui Xi and her father had been in the Beast Domain longer than he had, and they knew better how to survive. But three days had passed, and Rui Xi and her father still hadn't shown up. Yuan Ye couldn't help but worry. Yuan Ye decided to search around. After searching in the safe area for a long time and confirming that they were not there, Yuan Ye once again stepped into the deep part of the Beast Domain. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Yuan Ye saw an arrow on a tree. It was Rui Xi's arrow. "They really came to the deep part of the Beast Domain!" Yuan Ye's heart suddenly leaped. In the deep part of the Beast Domain, just understanding the laws of nature doesn't mean you're safe. It only means that your chances of survival are a bit higher. With bad luck, you'll still die. Yuan Ye immediately followed the direction of the arrow to search. On the other side of the ancient forest, this place was already in the middle part of the Beast Domain. Although it wasn't the deepest, powerful magical beasts still appeared frequently. At this moment, Rui Xi, with only some soft animal skins covering her sensitive parts, was carrying Rui Guangde on her back and walking towards home. Rui Guangde's chest was caved in, his face was pale, and his breathing was extremely uneven. The weak Rui Xi was carrying her father and walking very slowly. A tear flowed from Rui Xi's eye. Rui Xi didn't make a sound and continued walking forward. "Xi'er, go back by yourself. Don't worry about me," Rui Guangde's weak voice rang out. Over and over again, Rui Guangde persuaded Rui Xi like this, but Rui Xi just shook her head. "It's all my fault for running around. Wuwu -" "Hehe!" Rui Guangde smiled gently. "You've grown up. It's normal to have someone you like. Your mother also gave up everything and eloped with me in the past. Seeing how persistent you are makes me think of your mother. You're both the best women." "Daddy, I won't look for Brother Ye anymore. Let's go home. I just want you to get better soon. Wuwuwu -" With these words, Rui Xi cried even harder. "Silly girl. Daddy will be fine. Don't worry," Rui Guangde smiled and then coughed, and stopped talking. "Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, a slight vibration appeared from behind. Soon, the vibration became louder and louder. "No. Judging from this vibration, it seems to be a very huge magical beast," Rui Guangde suddenly opened his eyes. "Daddy!" Rui Xi also looked back. "The mammoth we killed was just a newborn. I'm afraid the adult one has come for revenge. Xi'er, you go. We almost died dealing with the young one. An adult mammoth is not something you can handle alone." "I'm not leaving!" Rui Xi stubbornly hid Rui Guangde behind a big tree and ran towards the direction they came from alone. Soon, Rui Xi saw a six - meter - tall mammoth roaring and charging over. Previously, they had encountered a two - meter - tall baby mammoth. For some reason, that baby mammoth always chased them. As a result, Rui Guangde was seriously injured to kill that baby mammoth. But now, with such a big one coming, Rui Xi was a bit scared. "Whoosh!" Rui Xi pulled a vine and slid to another tree. At the same time, she drew her bow and shot an arrow. A sharp arrow was instantly shot and accurately hit the mammoth's forehead. But the mammoth seemed fine. It shook its head and charged at Rui Xi even more ferociously. Rui Xi didn't have any fighting qi at all. She couldn't pierce the vital parts of such a huge magical beast. The poison on her arrows could only deal with Wu Hou - level magical beasts at most, and the mammoth, a mutated form of the ancient elephant, was a Wu Wang - level magical beast. "Boom!" The big tree where Rui Xi was was easily knocked down by the mammoth as if it were a dead tree. Rui Xi didn't have Yuan Ye's skills and couldn't jump to the adjacent tree, so she jumped down directly and ran to the other side. "Umm -" The mammoth roared long, its feet stomping on the ground as it charged at Rui Xi. The six - meter - tall mammoth was like a monster as big as a house running towards her. Boom, boom, boom... The ground was trembling. Rui Xi kept running around the trees, using the big trees to block the mammoth's huge body, and shooting an arrow from time to time. "Umm -" Suddenly, the mammoth crashed into a big tree. Rui Xi was just about to run to the other side, but unexpectedly, the mammoth's long trunk was pointed at Rui Xi. "Whoosh!" A stream of muddy water suddenly shot at Rui Xi. The speed was too fast, and things changed even faster. Rui Xi only had time to turn around before being hit by the water column. Her petite body was directly swept away. "Boom!" Rui Xi was swept by the water column onto a big tree. The big tree was shaken violently by Rui Xi, with leaves flying everywhere. Rui Xi herself felt a sharp pain in her chest and spat out a large amount of blood. "Boom, boom, boom..." The mammoth trampled on the ground and charged at Rui Xi again. Rui Xi's face was pale, and she struggled to get up, but the sharp pain in her body made it impossible for her to avoid as before. Rui Xi looked around. There was no way. Facing a Wu Wang - level magical beast, she couldn't handle it at all. She only hoped that this mammoth wouldn't find her father. "Whoosh!" Suddenly, a sharp arrow accurately shot into the mammoth's eye. "Umm -" The mammoth roared in pain, and its huge body suddenly turned around violently. "Boom, boom, boom...!" With violent vibrations, the mammoth's eye was instantly poisoned and blinded. The enraged mammoth gave up on Rui Xi and charged towards Rui Guangde, who was coming, without hesitation. "Only if both eyes are blinded can Xi'er be safe!" Rui Guangde's face was cold. He drew his bow again and didn't retreat at all. The mammoth's huge body was getting closer and closer. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" When the mammoth was almost about to hit him, Rui Guangde shot three arrows in a row. One of the arrows hit the mammoth's other eye, and the mammoth's whole body swayed. "Puff!" The mammoth's huge front leg suddenly hit Rui Guangde's body. "Umm!!" The mammoth with both eyes poisoned and blinded roared, galloping violently, running amok, not caring about anything. "Boom, boom, boom!" Huge rocks were trampled and shattered. Fist - sized stones were flying in all directions. Big trees were knocked down one by one. The ground trembled, and sand and dust flew. "Puff, puff, puff..." The stones were shot out at high speed, making big holes in the trees. Even many flying birds didn't have time to avoid and were directly killed by the flying stones. "Ah -!" Rui Xi covered her ears, curled up her body, and screamed in fear. "Damn you!" Yuan Ye, who was attracted by the huge vibration, rushed up angrily when he saw this scene. "Ha, the Six - Kick of Death!" Like a whirlwind, six consecutive kicks landed directly on the mammoth's head. In the past, the Six - Kick of Death could at most defeat a Wu Jiang - level magical beast and couldn't even defeat a Wu Shuai - level brown bear. But this time, Yuan Ye directly made the mammoth's head bleed. Six consecutive kicks of the Six - Kick of Death. More importantly, the concussion. If there was bleeding on the outside, then at least the mammoth's brain was also severely damaged. However, the powerful mammoth didn't die. Instead, it charged around even more crazily. The mammoth, which had lost its eyes and was in severe pain, had gone completely mad.
