Iron-Armored Bull Herd

Gripping his throwing knife, he dug out all the wild boars' horns. After performing Three-Grid Synthesis on all of them, he obtained five Elementary Beast General Rank horns, four Intermediate Beast General Rank horns, and two Advanced Beast General Rank horns.

Materials from Elementary Beast Soldiers started at around a thousand yuan, Intermediate Beast Soldiers at ten thousand, Advanced Beast Soldiers at one hundred thousand, Elementary Beast Generals at one million, Intermediate Beast Generals at five million, Advanced Beast Generals at ten million, Elementary Lords at one hundred million, Intermediate Lords at one billion, and Advanced Lords at roughly tens of billions. As for King-level Monsters, no price had been stated, but they had to start at hundreds of billions.

These One-Horned Wild Boar horns of his had to be worth at least thirty million.

He put away the horns and left the scene. A bloody scene could easily attract monster hordes. Although he was not afraid of them, he did not want to get surrounded.

After all, he could not be sure whether a Lord-level Monster might happen to pass by and be drawn over. If that happened, fleeing in panic would be his only option, and a sneak attack from a Lord-level Monster could even put his life in danger.

Rather than leaving City 0201, Chen Hao found a spot atop a multi-story building in the county town and settled there.

"Xiao Mei, monitor the area and see if any monsters have been drawn over." Having an Intelligent Life was truly convenient.

The detector built into the Intelligent Optical Computer was insignificant compared to advanced detectors in the universe, but it still had a detection range of over a hundred kilometers and a very high upper limit for detecting life levels.

He narrowed his eyes and recalled the battle with the One-Horned Wild Boar herd. He realized that he had been a little too excited and had not handled the fight perfectly. He should not have used the back of a One-Horned Wild Boar as a foothold.

If his opponent had not been an Intermediate Beast Soldier but a War General Rank monster, he might very well have been injured by a sneak attack.

There were many monsters in the wilderness that excelled at concealing their presence. If he did not learn from his experiences when facing such monsters, he could easily stumble in the gutter.

Still, he was very satisfied with his killing efficiency. The small herd of more than thirty monsters had taken less than five minutes to eliminate from start to finish.

Even without synthesis, the materials he had obtained would have been worth at least a million. This showed just how astonishingly efficient high-level Martial Artists were at making money.

"Master, a herd of Iron-Armored Bulls is coming this way. It should be the one from the city. There is one Advanced Beast General Rank bull, two Intermediate Beast General Rank bulls, five Elementary Beast General Rank bulls, and 516 Beast Soldier-level Iron-Armored Bulls."

Chen Hao abruptly sat up. More than five hundred Iron-Armored Bulls? That did not seem bad.

For safety's sake, he took out the S-Rank Combat Suit and put it on. Now, his safety should not be a problem.

He then took out the S-Rank Shield. Looking at his luxurious set of equipment, Chen Hao nodded. This should be fine.

He remembered that this herd of Iron-Armored Bulls was notoriously difficult to deal with. In the original story, the Fire Hammer Squad had not even dared to approach them and had taken a wide detour.

When it came to an Iron-Armored Bull Herd, let alone a Warrior Squad, even a lone Advanced Beast General Rank monster would not dare provoke them casually.

The horns of Iron-Armored Bulls were also excellent materials, no worse than the horns of One-Horned Wild Boars. After all, the essence of their bodies lay in those two sharp horns.

Within the county town of City 0201, the Iron-Armored Bull Herd could be considered a local overlord. Wherever the herd passed, all other beasts retreated.

Several monsters followed the scent of blood over, but upon seeing the Iron-Armored Bull Herd from afar, they immediately turned and fled.

Chen Hao jumped onto his shield and controlled it as it descended. When he was more than ten meters from the ground, he leaped off, landed in front of the Iron-Armored Bull Herd, and caught the falling shield.

"Moo!" "Moo!" Seeing someone dare to block their path, the Iron-Armored Bull Herd immediately stirred restlessly.

After seeing that Chen Hao was alone, the Advanced Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Bull let out a "Moo!" and the surrounding subordinates charged at the figure ahead. Amid deafening rumbles, they crushed forward like a torrent of steel.

As the Advanced Beast General Rank leader of the Iron-Armored Bull Herd, it naturally possessed high intelligence. Chen Hao being alone puzzled it somewhat, but relying on the sheer number of its herd, it charged without mercy.

After all, the feast of One-Horned Wild Boars ahead was still waiting for it.

Even with Chen Hao's mental fortitude, facing the tank-like charge of the Iron-Armored Bull Herd made his expression change slightly.

Unless one personally faced a collective charge, one could never understand the overwhelming pressure that came rolling in.

But Chen Hao did not retreat in fear. The lingering memories from the Skill Card within his body began to slowly dissipate under this pressure, quietly transforming into nourishment for his strength.

He could not let the herd build up a full charge. Otherwise, even if he killed one of them, the Iron-Armored Bulls rushing in from behind would send him flying.

No matter how strong he was, their momentum was on an entirely different level. He immediately held the shield horizontally before him and charged straight toward the herd.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Hao arrived between two Iron-Armored Bulls. He took a step forward and slammed his shield into the shoulder blade of the bull to his front left.

The bull immediately became like a truck crashing through a guardrail, directly sending its companion flying.

Using its force, Chen Hao repeated the maneuver and slammed into another Iron-Armored Bull diagonally behind him. That bull was likewise shoved into a stagger.

Under Chen Hao's disruption, the Iron-Armored Bull Herd's charge quickly fell into disarray, and miserable bellows rang out everywhere.

Seeing that his subordinates had not only failed to harm the two-legged beast but were instead crying out one after another, the Iron-Armored Bull leader's eyes flashed with impatience and fury. It roared, "Moo..."

The Beast Soldier-level Iron-Armored Bulls immediately scattered in all directions, while the herd leader charged at Chen Hao with several Beast General Level subordinates.

Watching the several Beast General Level Iron-Armored Bulls charge over, Chen Hao's heart tightened and his right hand gripped his battle saber. A hundred meters looked far, but Beast General Level monsters generally exceeded one hundred meters per second.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the Iron-Armored Bull leader had reached him.

Fortunately, Chen Hao's Basic Movement Technique had reached perfection. Even in a neural reaction speed test for Advanced Warlord Rank, he would have received an excellent rating.

Therefore, against Iron-Armored Bulls, which did not excel at agility, he remained fairly at ease. His body calmly slipped past the bull's side, and he swung his saber backward, slashing diagonally into the Iron-Armored Bull leader's thigh.

The muscles in the Iron-Armored Bull leader's leg immediately twitched, deflecting the force of the saber, but its hind leg was still cut open.

This enraged the Iron-Armored Bull leader even further, while its several subordinates likewise reached Chen Hao.

Chen Hao chuckled. In his eyes, these were all materials that could make him money. He swung his saber at an Elementary Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Bull.

Seeing that even its boss had been wounded and knowing it could not block with its head, the Elementary Beast General Rank Iron-Armored Bull violently twisted its head. At the same time, it pushed off with both front hooves and leaped aside, then kicked at Chen Hao with its hind legs.

Chen Hao was somewhat surprised. It seemed Beast General Level monsters truly possessed high intelligence. Not only did they understand how to avoid harm and seek advantage, they could even counterattack based on instinct.

Naturally, Chen Hao would not let it kick him. The instant its front hooves touched the ground, he followed immediately, dodged its backward kick, reached its side, and before it could react, swung his battle saber. Its massive bull head was severed.
