Chapter 101 - Cataclysm
After Huo Yiloong escaped Yin Xu, he went into the deep mountains. He had investigated beforehand, and knew that as long as he didn't enter the deep forest, there wouldn't be much of a risk.
There were not many monks out there, and many animals ran into the depths after being frightened. That was why he didn't want to fight with others on the outskirts.
Leading his horse by himself, Huo Yiloong traversed the forest quickly.
This time, everyone only shot a quiver of 50 arrows, Huo Yiloong reckoned that he would definitely get first place with a hundred arrows.
His opponent this time was only a group of youths around the same age, and the situation was much better than he had expected.
“Roar ...” A brown bear appeared in his line of sight. He wondered if it was following the scent of blood.
“You came at the right time!” Huo Yiloong looked at the other party's sturdy body that was as tall as himself standing up, and excitedly licked his lips.
He counted the remaining arrows. There were still eight left, which was enough to take care of this big stupid bear.
He slapped the horse hard on the bottom and pushed it aside. Then he pulled out an arrow and nocked it, aiming for the brown bear that was dashing toward him.
Aiming the arrow at its eyes, Huo Yiloong suddenly let go of the bow and released a sharp arrow, which released a sound of wind.
Sensing danger, the brown bear leaped forward to avoid the arrow.
Huo Yiloong's brows twitched, “He's quite sensitive, but unfortunately he met me!” He pulled out another arrow and nocked it. This time, he did not aim too meticulously. Instead, he shot out an arrow at random.
Without waiting for the arrow to land, Huo Yiloong swiftly pulled out three arrows and nocked them. In a flash, he shot out, and flew towards the brown bear in three different directions.
“Roar ...” A furious roar shook all of the trees around them. Huo Yiloong's arrow had hit the enemy's forelimbs.
This result was somewhat out of Huo Yiloong's expectations, “Good fellow, you really have some skill.”
Looking at the brown bear that was rushing towards him, Huo Yiloong did not fight back. Instead, he jumped up onto a big tree and shot out another arrow.
The arrow pierced into the bear's body and the bear had already crashed into the large tree he was standing on. Huo Yiloong jumped onto another tree in the midst of the shock.
Just like that, the man and the bear started to play a game of chase in the forest. Huo Yiloong admired the bear's stamina very much.
As the last arrow was nocked, Huo Yiloong was not careless this time. Instead, he aimed at the center of its forehead and calculated the time. After releasing his hand, he watched as the arrow shot towards the direction he had planned for.
“Roar ...” With the last roar, the brown bear finally fell. Huo Yiloong waited on the tree for a while before he went to retrieve its corpse.
Looking at his empty quiver, Huo Yiloong kicked the corpse on the ground, “With you, I will definitely be first in this hunt!”
However, he knew that there were a lot of people waiting outside for meat to eat, so he put all the prey together and covered it up with a tree branch. When he returned, he would call his guards to come and carry it away, and he would let them see the power of his Huo Family descendant.
Turning around to look for the horse that ran away due to fright, Huo Yiloong wondered: If it was his father's lion steed, would it have been scared away so easily?
Following the footprints to the east, Huo Yiloong silently calculated his gains, feeling extremely confident in himself.
Hmph, he didn't believe that there would be someone in the team who would hunt more prey than he did!
Hearing the shrill cry of a horse from far away, Huo Yiloong's heart tightened, “Not good!” Could it be that the prey on the horse lured the beast out?
He should have thought that there would actually be a blind bear. Naturally, there would be other ferocious beasts that would appear as well.
He quickened his steps and dashed towards the source of the sound. By the time he reached the place, it was already too late. A pack of wild wolves were nibbling on the corpses on the ground.
Huo Yiloong saw that half of the fruits of his hard work had fallen into the wolf's stomach, his eyes were so red that it seemed like blood was going to drip out.
“Bastard!” Huo Yiloong grabbed a tree beside him and threw it at the wolves! “Daring to steal my spoils, you're courting death!”
The wolves were scattered by the falling trees, then quickly retreated ten meters away, hesitating whether to attack or not.
The temptation of the food on the ground was too great. It was rare to find so much food in such a cold winter.
More than a dozen wolves gathered together and gave Huo Yiloong a threatening howl, and then carefully moved closer to the food step by step.
Huo Yiloong pulled out the dagger he brought along with him, similarly eyeing the wolves covetously. There was not much time left, there was not enough time for him to find more prey.
Teng Yu squinted and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, “This brat is too malicious.”
Yin Xu could naturally see through his intentions, and with a snort, he pointed his bow at him. “Stop! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. “
“Huo Tian, what are you planning to do?” Huo Yiloong stopped and looked at him anxiously.
“What for? Of course it's to save my life. You don't think I can beat these wolves, do you? “
“Why not? “We have three people, so we'll split them among ourselves, or you can throw your bow and arrow to me and I'll do it myself.”
Seeing that he was staring intently at his arrow quiver, Yin Xu laughed softly, “I'll give you the bow and arrow, what do I need? The Third Prince is standing behind me. If something happens, who will be responsible? “
Huo Yiloong secretly scoffed, he was just a piece of trash, what was there to be responsible for?
However, if he died, it would be troublesome, but Huo Yiloong was not so stupid as to think that it would have nothing to do with him.
Seeing that the wolf pack was getting closer and closer, Huo Yiloong did not have time to bullshit with them and quickly ran towards the side of the small road.
It was a good thing that there were quite a lot of roads on the mountain. Although some of them had not been abandoned for many years, it was still better than digging through bushes.
Yin Xu did not care about him, with a twist of the arrow, he aimed at the wolf in the front and shot the arrow.
He wrapped the arrow with a layer of Demonic Qi and shot it into the wolf's right ear. The originally light injury caused the wolf to fall to the ground.
This sudden turn of events scared the rest of the wolves, causing them to stop in their tracks and stare at Yin Xu fiercely.
“Dead?” Seeing this, Teng Yu asked in shock.
“I don't know.” Yin Xu gave a simple three words of reply before he aimed at the next wolf.
Wolves weren't completely unafraid of death. They only knew how to estimate the strength of their opponents, and if there was no chance of victory, they wouldn't fight to the death.
The aura being emitted from Yin Xu's body made them feel very fearful, and the arrow he had shot out just now was too strange, causing the pack of wolves to be hesitant to go forward.
Huo Yiloong did not run far, but instead stopped at a relatively safe distance to watch his movements.
He even thought of a way to put it, if the two of them were to die by the claws of a wolf.
But the next scene caused his heart to tremble. Yin Xu handed the bow and arrow over to Teng Yu and said: “Come.”
Teng Yu glanced at Huo Yiloong, a playful smile on his face.
He missed his first arrow, so before Huo Yiloong could mock him for his archery skills, he successfully nocked a second arrow. He thought that this arrow would not be any better, but he helplessly watched as that arrow hit a wolf, and then a miracle happened.
The wolf that was shot fell back with a miserable cry, then it began to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the inside out, until it turned into a pile of ashes.
This... What kind of fire was this? Huo Yiloong's eyes widened as he looked at the two people on horseback in disbelief.
When did these two pieces of trash have such ability? Not only were they not afraid of retreating, they even killed two wolves with ease.
Even if he had a bow and arrow in his hand, he didn't dare guarantee that he would be able to kill one with one arrow.
Huo Yiloong's gaze was fixated on the arrow barrel on Yin Xu's waist. It must be the arrow, it must be it!
He had heard that there was a kind of stink bomb in the army that could blow people to death and set them on fire. Perhaps the arrows they carried were specially made.
The wolves were also scared and retreated. After seeing Teng Yu shooting at them, they all ran away with their tails between their legs.
These two humans were too terrifying ...
Huo Yiloong maintained his gaping mouth as he stared at the shock in his eyes. Then, he saw the arrow aimed at his head once again.
Subconsciously, he took a step back and leaned against the hard tree trunk. He felt a little wet and a cold sensation spread out from his back.
But after he retreated, he regretted his decision. He was just an incompetent prince who had the advantage of using weapons to show off his might in front of him. What was there to fear?
“Haha ...” “Seeing that you're frightened, it turns out that Fifth Master Huo isn't that brave as well.” Teng Yu kept his bow and arrow, and did not look at him again, he took his spoils of war and his beloved one and rode his horse away.
Only Huo Yiloong was left standing there with a dark expression. After a long while, he moved his stiff legs and ran in the other direction.
