Qin Yu was walking through the grass, holding a sturdy wooden stick in his hand and casually whipping the weeds in front of him, breaking the one - person - tall grass to clear a path.
Just as Qin Yu was lowering his head and hurrying on his way, the grass beside him suddenly moved. Unfortunately, Qin Yu wasn't very alert and didn't show the slightest reaction.
It's always the case that those involved are oblivious while onlookers see clearly. He didn't react, but the audience watching his live - streamed competition exclaimed in unison. Some well - informed viewers even identified the hidden creature's identity in a fleeting glance.
"It's a Shadow Demon Bull! A product of the Demon Beast Gate! This thing is not only irascible in temperament but also carnivorous! Its strength is nearly at level three! It's not easy to deal with!"
"Oh no, this kid didn't notice! Could he be directly eliminated?"
"I'm afraid so. I've already checked this kid's number. His strength is pitifully low. He's just a 1.2 - level martial artist. Not to mention dealing with a Shadow Demon Bull, even an ordinary Wind Wolf would be a tough challenge for him."
Under the live - stream, comments appeared one after another, so fast that it was like a screen - refresh.
Unfortunately, all the metal objects on Qin Yu had been confiscated, so naturally, he had no chance to watch the live - stream. This was to prevent students from cheating in this way.
It's getting closer! Even closer!
15 meters! 10 meters! 5 meters! 3 meters!
Boom!
The grass on the side suddenly exploded! Countless one - person - tall weeds were shattered by the air wave!
A huge bull, which had been crouching on the ground, howled and pounced out! Carrying a strange black gas, it rose up and charged towards Qin Yu's waist! Its speed was astonishing!
Although Qin Yu, who had no experience in this aspect, didn't notice when the enemy sneaked closer.
But the moment the Shadow Demon Bull burst out, Qin Yu reacted.
Unfortunately, the distance between them was too close at this time! Not to mention performing martial arts skills, it was even a question of whether he could successfully mobilize the internal energy in his body!
The audience who saw this scene shook their heads and sighed. In their hearts, they basically believed that Qin Yu would be defeated. Yuli, who was also watching the live - stream in the spectator stand, turned pale with fright at this moment.
At this critical moment! Qin Yu suddenly let go of the wooden stick in his hand! Instead of choosing to dodge, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the Shadow Demon Bull's horns! Trying to force it to stop with brute force!
With a loud rumble, the Shadow Demon Bull pushed Qin Yu forward, plowing the ground! In the blink of an eye, they rushed forward several meters!
Seeing such a reckless act, not only those audiences but even the principal and the knight commanders shook their heads.
The Shadow Demon Bull is a bull! And what a bull is best at is strength!
Daring to wrestle with a demon beast weighing several tons? This is like hitting your eggs against the opponent's fist! Completely reckless!
"It's over. This kid is surely eliminated... Holy shit!!!"
A principal's words were not yet finished when his eyes suddenly widened.
On the New Star Island, only Qin Yu's angry roar was heard. His legs, which were sliding on the ground, suddenly exerted force, and his arms fell heavily.
The next moment! The Shadow Demon Bull, which was wrestling with him, let out a mournful cry! Its head uncontrollably smashed towards the ground! A loud bang resounded!
The head stopped, but the body was still moving forward due to inertia.
This caused the Shadow Demon Bull's face to slide on the ground for half a meter, and its several - ton - heavy body stood upright with its head down.
Qin Yu didn't show it any mercy. Seeing this, he used his shoulder to lift the Shadow Demon Bull with brute force and then smashed it heavily onto the ground behind him.
With another loud bang, the Shadow Demon Bull, whose head hit the ground again, had its eyes blood - red from the impact, and its whole body was twitching violently.
Before it could recover from the intense pain, Qin Yu had rushed forward, grabbed the Shadow Demon Bull's horns, and started dragging and swinging it wildly!
As the wind howled! The surrounding grass was plowed over and over again! Even six or seven tree trunks beside were knocked down!
Just as Qin Yu was about to throw the Shadow Demon Bull out, a cracking sound suddenly came from his ear.
It turned out that the Shadow Demon Bull's two horns couldn't bear the weight and suddenly broke into two pieces.
Qin Yu, who didn't expect this to happen, sat down on the ground. The Shadow Demon Bull with broken horns rolled and flew out. Before it could land steadily, it howled and ran towards the distance.
"Run? Don't think you can run just because you have more legs! Stop right there!"
Holding two broken horns, Qin Yu roared and chased after it.
And the people watching the live - stream fell into silence.
A legion commander took off his helmet, wiped the goggles on it, and put it back on his head.
After a full two - second silence, he suddenly turned his head to look at the principal of the Fourth High School of Crane City, that is, Qin Yu's school.
"I remember that the Horn Demon shouldn't be this strong... right?"
The expressionless principal's mouth twitched when he heard this, almost bursting into laughter.
"Ahem! Mutation! It's a mutated one! Just like there are argali sheep in the sheep tribe! This kid grew up in the human camp and was raised by Yuna, the hero of the Wild Horse Knights. It's not so strange that he's a bit stronger physically. Yes, there's nothing strange about it."
At the end of his words, the principal's expression was almost on the verge of collapse.
The other principals looked at him with strange eyes when they heard this, and then turned to look at Qin Yu on the screen, who was running faster than the Shadow Demon Bull.
Is this just a bit stronger? This is not a mutation! This is a complete variation!
People who didn't know might think this kid was a Flame Demon!
The chase in the jungle didn't last long. The Shadow Demon Bull was already injured, and Qin Yu was running at least as fast as it.
Before it could run more than ten meters, the bull was caught up by Qin Yu, who punched it on the head.
Looking at the Shadow Demon Bull, whose head was punched into the ground and whose four legs were sticking straight up, the other principals' faces became even darker.
Quickly and efficiently, Qin Yu dealt with this blind - eyed Shadow Demon Bull. He took out the uniformly - distributed small knife and gave it a craniotomy.
Of course, with his skills, it was more like butchering.
Taking out a small glass bead from the Shadow Demon Bull's brain, Qin Yu wiped it clean. First, he smelled it. After not getting anything from the smell, he stuck out his tongue and carefully licked it.
Hmm! It's a bit sweet!
Putting away the glass bead, looking at the dead body with its eyes wide open on the ground, Qin Yu hesitated for a long time, and finally took out the small knife and cut off a piece of meat.
But looking at the pitch - black Shadow Demon Bull meat in his hand, Qin Yu's expression was a bit conflicted.
Can this thing be eaten? I heard that the meat of demon beasts is poisonous. Although it's rich in nutrition and helpful for cultivation, one must use special and complicated methods to detoxify it before eating.
He knew nothing about this aspect of knowledge, so detoxifying was out of the question.
But if he ate it directly... this appearance was really unappetizing!
After hesitating for a moment, touching his growling stomach, Qin Yu finally gritted his teeth and stuffed the meat into his mouth.
After chewing and swallowing a few times, with a lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth, Qin Yu spat out the black blood in his mouth.
"Ugh! What kind of meat is this! How many years has it been stored! It's sour! Ugh!"
The meat of demon beasts is not so easy to eat. The dishes made from demon beast meat are delicious but expensive. Besides the fact that demon beasts are powerful and difficult to hunt, the troublesome detoxification process is also a major reason.
Throwing away the unpalatable demon beast meat, Qin Yu wiped his mouth and stood up.
Touching his still - growling stomach, Qin Yu hesitated for a moment and then took out the glass ball from his pocket.
This energy ball is made of pure energy. I heard it can also be eaten. How about...
He raised his hand and put the energy ball into his mouth. With a crunch, the energy ball shattered, and the liquefied energy inside poured into his mouth, making Qin Yu feel refreshed.
Not bad! It tastes good!
What? You said without the energy ball, what about the elimination - round mission?
So there was a mission? Qin Yu didn't know that.
