Different Ferocious Beasts

"Lock on its ulna and radius!"

"Be careful not to kill him!"

"Yinghao and Yinglian pierced its shinbone!"

The giant bird with the large beak weighs nearly a ton, while this ferocious eagle weighs only a little over 300 kilograms. Not only is it smaller in size, but it is also much lighter.

But the eagle's beak and claws were so sharp they were chilling; a faint white light lingered over them, and they could easily tear through thick steel plates.

How did this thing manage to knock my horse-slaying sword away?

After landing three punches on the eagle's head, Zhao Tianhua felt a surge of relief.

He had never been so disheveled, not even having the strength to fight Montes Clark.

But he didn't expect to be defeated in a single move after encountering the ferocious beast.

If they hadn't come in a large group, he would most likely have been devoured by the ferocious beasts.

The key to Zhao Tianhua's defeat was that he couldn't use a knife. Whenever he held the saber in his hand, the eagle would swat it away from his hands with a single wing.

"I've heard Zhou Xin say that some ferocious beasts in Qinmeng possess special powers!"

Changkong Luo the beast's neck, resisting its constant struggles and thrashings. Only after feeling the beast's strength weaken did he exhale, mentioning a rather unique ferocious beast from the Qinmeng Ruins.

"Ordinary ferocious beasts are enormous, possessing immense strength and robust physiques, and are protected by a protective layer," Changkong Luo said. "But some special ferocious beasts possess incomprehensible abilities, like having Gene Fighting Technique!"

"Are you kidding me? Even ferocious beasts can use Gene Fighting Technique?" Zhao Tianhua asked incredulously.

"That's what Zhou Xin said anyway, and he's seen far more ferocious beasts than I have," Changkong Luo replied. "I can only relay this to you; I can't explain the reasons behind it!"

"Damn it, at my age I'm not even as good as a ferocious beast!"

Zhao Tianhua cursed, clearly dissatisfied with himself.

He was somewhat annoyed, but unable to use his broadsword to kill the beast, he could only smash it repeatedly on the beast's head, constantly weakening its defenses.

"It's Divine Ability!"

If we consider strange beasts as demons and ferocious beasts as demons that have attained sainthood, then some of their special abilities become easier to explain.

Without any inherited magical arts, ferocious beasts can only acquire their abilities through luck.

Whether due to good fortune or bad luck, or even if one's physical strength is sufficient but one has not yet attained Divine Ability powers, thus belonging to the category of pseudo-sainthood, one's strength is inferior.

Zhang Xuezhou finally understood the differences between the giant beaked bird and the goshawk.

The former is purely physically strong, while the latter possesses special abilities.

"Old Luo, the Moo Lan you hunted back then also seemed to have the special ability to make a thunderous sound. You used it to enter the Seventh Sequence and also gained the corresponding ability," Zhu Bufan asked.

"Yes, but I used it once, and then my throat was ruined. I recently took some longevity medication and my throat recovered a bit, but I can't use it much. Every time I use it, my throat feels like it's going to split open!"

"Steelhair, Clark, and Pasteur seem to only have resistance layers; they don't seem to possess any special abilities of ferocious beasts," Zhu Bufan asked.

"It seems that way!"

"Brothers, are you saying that I borrowed this ferocious beast to enter the Seventh Sequence, and that I might inherit the beast's ability to sweep away Old Zhao's horse-slaying sword?"

"Then does that mean I'm completely unable to play?"

"Maybe it can only be used once or twice, like Old Luo did, and can only be kept as a trump card in reserve!"

"Perhaps we can create some decent beast-themed products!"

"How did that longevity medicine restore Lao Luo's voice?"

More than ten people held the ferocious beast down tightly, and with each heavy blow, the beast was subjected to treatment comparable to that of Luo Zhong back then.

Lacking an advantage in size, bird-like ferocious beasts lose almost 80% of their abilities once they are captured on the ground.

Just like the giant ants captured by the Thousand Islands Alliance in the past, once they were trapped in the water, they were completely unable to control themselves and were thus captured relatively easily.

Aside from the high risks Zhao Tianhua and his group initially encountered, hunting the ferocious eagle did not bring much trouble, and they were captured after a brief period of cooperation.

At this point, everyone still had the energy to communicate.

"Hunting ferocious beasts is more troublesome than we imagined!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng approached each other more than a minute later.

Looking at the ferocious beast whose vital parts had been pierced by the longsword, and then at the steel cables binding its legs, wings, and other parts, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the risk of approaching it was close to zero.

As individuals skilled in long-range combat, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng reacted extremely poorly at close range.

The two of them waited until the situation had completely stabilized before joining in the fun.

Looking at the captured beast and then at the numerous damaged vehicles around him, Zhang Xuezhou realized that the hunt was far from over.

Even if such a well-equipped group manages to resolve the battle quickly, it will inevitably result in the loss of many vehicles. Going deeper into Qinmeng will undoubtedly bring many inconveniences, and there is even a possibility of lacking transport vehicles after the hunt.

"At least one transport vehicle must be kept on!"

Ren Yisheng nodded.

Before Zhang Xuezhou could even say it was troublesome, Ren Yisheng already understood what Zhang Xuezhou meant.

Zhang Xuezhou also had a deeper meaning: their hunting group was not there to help Zuo Lianguang advance to the Seventh Sequence; their real goal was to enable Ren Yisheng to potentially enter the Seventh Sequence.

This requires him to have some luck, and he also needs to find Zuo Teng as much as possible in order to track down the related ferocious beasts such as the Mosasaurus and the Giant Elephant.

The ferocious eagles have long wingspans, but their bodies are not heavy. They can be brought back to the port using ordinary vehicles or even manpower. However, the ferocious beasts that Ren Yisheng needs are all enormous. Without transport vehicles, even if they are captured, it is impossible to send them back to Western Capital City.

He and Zhang Xuezhou exchanged a glance before he approached to congratulate Zuo Lianguang.

"Oh my, my heart is pounding with joy! I can't wait to get back to Western Capital City, but... brothers, listen up! There's a 'but' to this: I'll stay put and try my best to cooperate in hunting more ferocious beasts, so we can return to Western Capital City after a great harvest!"

Zuo Lianguang looked excited, but he managed to keep his composure.

Hunting ferocious beasts is one thing, but how to return to Western Capital City after the hunt is another.

He couldn't accomplish these things without the cooperation of others.

Even Zuo Lianguang had to worry about the potential troubles of the ferocious beast, such as dying from starvation, bleeding, depression, or prolonged imprisonment.

He was both delighted and apprehensive, fearing that all his efforts would be in vain and he would end up empty-handed.

"Committee Member Zhang, look how smooth and shiny this bird's feathers are! It's such a waste that it died halfway through its journey. How about we try some kind of exotic beast psychology? If our Western Capital City could raise a ferocious beast, it would definitely shock the whole world!"

After capturing the ferocious beast, it was time to handle logistics.

Thanks to Li Qi and the others stopping, the ferocious beast was not beaten to the point of serious injury or near death; its body was preserved in excellent condition.

However, there were still many troubles in bringing it safely back to Western Capital City, Zuo Lianguang's face showed a rare ingratiating expression.

If they set off to return immediately, Zuo Lianguang felt there was a 90% chance the ferocious beast would survive until reaching Western Capital City. However, their hunting journey had only just begun, and further hunting was still needed.

Zuo Lianguang was the first to fulfill his hunting dream, but he was also worried that he was celebrating too soon.

Thinking about how Zhang Xuezhou had been taming the falcons in the cargo ship's hold these past two nights, and how two of the falcons were as obedient as domestic chickens, Zuo Lianguang couldn't help but think that if the ferocious beasts turned into domestic chickens, he could live one more day at a time.

In their group, if the hunt goes smoothly, one or two ferocious beasts certainly won't be enough to subdue everyone and create the conditions for returning home.

Only when the hunt reaches three to four animals, or after a relatively long period of time, will the group choose to return to shore to avoid risks.

In this situation, he undoubtedly needed to prolong the life of the beast that was most likely to be paired with him, and he also needed to please Zhang Xuezhou, who had studied strange beasts.
