On the cliff, Lu Chuan stared at the three fruits, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
He did not know what medicinal herbs these three fruits were, but he was absolutely certain that all three were Hundred-Year Great Medicine, just one step away from nurturing a trace of spirituality and transforming into Spirit Medicine.
Great Medicine and Spirit Medicine differed by only one word, yet their value was worlds apart.
Any Spirit Medicine was beyond price. Once one appeared in the world, it would inevitably stir up a bloody storm.
Lu Chuan had once heard rumors that thirty years ago, someone had brought a Spirit Medicine back from Python Mountain.
The result was that all of Fengle City ran red with blood, and countless people lost their lives because of it.
At that moment, Lu Chuan could no longer remain calm. His heart pounded wildly, like drums being beaten.
Though these three fruits were not Spirit Medicine, they were still top-tier Great Medicine, their value beyond estimation.
If he sold them, even a single fruit would likely start at ten million.
"If I can obtain these three Great Medicine, not only can I buy a house in the Inner City, I won't have to worry about money for a long time to come."
Lu Chuan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and muttered, "But this Great Medicine won't be so easy to take."
There were at least a hundred Fierce Beasts in the valley, including quite a few First-Order Peak Fierce Beasts.
Once he made a move, he would inevitably be swarmed...
Lu Chuan was confident, but not arrogant enough to believe he could take on over a hundred Fierce Beasts by himself.
He silently pondered what method he could use to snatch food from a tiger's mouth and pluck the Great Medicine.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, just as Lu Chuan was deep in thought, a slight disturbance arose in the valley below.
He fixed his gaze on it.
One of the White Apes, standing six or seven meters tall, suddenly sprang forward and launched the first attack, pouncing towards the Great Medicine in the middle of the pool.
Roar, roar...
The moment the White Ape moved, the balance in the valley was immediately broken.
Beast roars exploded as a black Fierce Tiger leaped up and slammed a claw at the White Ape, forcing it to block in midair. The two Fierce Beasts crashed directly into one another.
The powerful impact instantly sent both sides flying backward.
At that moment, from another direction, a Fierce Beast resembling a Pangolin shot out. Taking advantage of the clash between the White Ape and the Black Tiger, it wanted to reap the fisherman's profit.
But just then, several more First-Order Peak Fierce Beasts charged out from the valley and blocked the Pangolin.
In the vast valley, over a hundred Fierce Beasts immediately launched into a brutal melee.
Beast roars rang out one after another, echoing through the mountains and forest.
All the Fierce Beasts seemed possessed, madly attacking the other Fierce Beasts around them. They wanted to seize the three Great Medicine, yet were unwilling to let any other Fierce Beast obtain them.
For a time, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and Fierce Beasts were constantly torn apart.
A thick stench of blood immediately filled the entire valley.
On the cliff, Lu Chuan was stunned by the scene before him and failed to react for a moment.
Everything had been fine just now. How had they suddenly started killing each other?
"Brutes are brutes. No matter how strong they are, their brains are still useless. Don't they know how to live in peace?" Lu Chuan could not help complaining, though a sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.
This was a perfect opportunity!
The more chaotic the situation in the valley became, the more advantageous it was for him!
"Fight! It would be best if all of you perished together, then I won't even need to make a move."
Lu Chuan sneered. He was in no hurry to pick the Great Medicine now. The Fierce Beasts in the valley had clearly been stimulated by the Bloody Baleful Qi, and every one of them had killed until their eyes turned red.
If he dared rush over at a time like this, he would definitely become the target of everyone's wrath and be jointly attacked by those brutes.
He took out his bow and arrow, a sharp glint in his eyes as he watched every movement within the valley.
Suddenly!
About four or five minutes later, Lu Chuan finally moved.
The bow was drawn like a full moon, the arrow like a shooting star.
Whoosh, whoosh...
After streaking across half the valley, a sharp arrow fiercely pierced through the head of a Rock Wolf that had already leaped onto the white jade boulder in the center of the pool.
The violent impact carried the Rock Wolf's entire corpse more than twenty meters away.
Only then did the Rock Wolf's head explode with a bang.
"Forget about taking the Great Medicine. Obediently fighting each other is what you should be doing."
On the cliff, Lu Chuan sneered and fired another sharp arrow at an eagle vulture Fierce Beast that had shot down from a cliff on the other side of the valley, straight towards the Great Medicine to seize it.
He would naturally not interfere while the Fierce Beasts slaughtered one another.
But if some brute failed to recognize its place and tried to seize the Great Medicine, then it could not blame him for being ruthless.
Whoosh... bang...
The sharp arrow shot forth at an astonishing speed of six hundred meters per second, bringing with it a low sonic boom as it flew straight at the eagle vulture Fierce Beast.
Screech!
This brute was indeed a First-Order Peak Fierce Beast. Its reaction speed was truly astonishing.
With a long cry, it violently shifted its body at the very instant before the sharp arrow struck, successfully evading the vital point.
The arrow flashed past and immediately pierced one of its wings, scattering feathers all over the ground.
At once, a blood hole as wide as a bowl exploded open on that wing.
Blood gushed down like a spring.
Heavily wounded by that one arrow, the eagle vulture immediately gave up on the three Great Medicine. It forcibly flapped its wings in midair and soared into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds and mist.
"It actually got away."
Lu Chuan frowned at the sight, silently reflecting, My Archery still has plenty of room for improvement.
Basic Archery is fine for killing ordinary Fierce Beasts, but against First-Order Peak Fierce Beasts, especially those First-Order Peaks known for their speed, it is still far too difficult.
After I return this time, I need to get a genuine ranked Archery Martial Skill from Chen Qingfeng.
Not only that, I also need to get a blade technique Martial Skill.
Close combat is important too. Otherwise, once an enemy gets close, the bow and arrow will become useless. I'll have to rely on the War Blade. With a blade technique to assist me, combat power will be completely different.
As Lu Chuan silently made his plans, his hands did not stop moving.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the movements in the valley. From time to time, he drew his bow and arrow, shooting down Fierce Beasts that tried to approach the Great Medicine.
With his current strength, each arrow he fired carried more than thirty thousand jin of force and traveled at over six hundred meters per second.
Unless it was a First-Order Peak Fierce Beast like that eagle vulture from earlier, one that excelled in speed.
Such a beast could barely evade a vital strike, making it impossible to kill with one arrow.
As for the other Fierce Beasts, they were basically dead with a single arrow.
Of course, that was on the premise that he launched a sneak attack rather than facing them head-on. After all, the Fierce Beasts in the valley had already gone mad with slaughter. Only by occupying the high ground and looking down could he achieve such results.
If he faced them head-on, then against the siege of over a hundred Fierce Beasts, no matter how superb his Archery was, he would certainly die.
After all, with so many Fierce Beasts, as long as they paid some price to get close, they could completely surround him and wear him to death.
