Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 389: Hunting the Fierce Beast Chickens

The others also took out their own Brain Crystals.

After all, there are quite a few of these Fierce Beast Chickens—four of them, to be exact. Xu Yi alone couldn’t handle them.

Although they don’t have large bloody mouths, their sharp claws could certainly be lethal.

A few meters closer, these Fierce Beast Chickens noticed Xu Yi and the others.

Their scales instantly stood upright as they fixed their gaze on Xu Yi and his team.

Suddenly, one of them turned and ran. Seeing this, the other three also turned and fled.

"Chase, Black Qilin, chase them," Xu Yi said, speeding up.

Whether it’s to tame them, hunt them for food, or obtain Brain Crystals, we couldn’t let them escape.

Jungle animals are relatively scarce and hard to come by.

Since we’ve branched off from the main group, other than the one killed by the Killing Melon, these Fierce Beast Chickens are only the second encounter we’ve had.

So, no matter what, we must pursue them.

The first to catch up was Black Qilin. As soon as it did, it lunged forward, biting the neck of a Fierce Beast Chicken, pinning it down.

"Lu Yao, Liu Li, Cheng Jie, Qin Yue, Qin Chao, you stay and kill that one. The rest, keep chasing," Xu Yi commanded and continued the chase.

Being bitten by Black Qilin likely meant it wouldn’t survive, so Xu Yi instructed Lu Yao and the others to finish off the Fierce Beast Chicken.

Lu Yao was left behind because she held a Brain Crystal and could use it if needed.

Speed Doubling!

Xu Yi used his Speed Doubling Skills.

Then, he rushed forward.

Binding.

The three Fierce Beast Chickens were struck by the Binding Skills and instantly froze, then were flung outward due to inertia.

In this brief moment, everyone closed in on them quickly and surrounded them.

Xu Yi’s machete had already sliced open the neck of one Fierce Beast Chicken and chopped off its head.

Clean and decisive.

The livestream audience was stunned. They hadn’t really believed Xu Yi when he said he could kill one and restrain another.

After all, no one had witnessed Xu Yi actually do it before.

But now, Xu Yi directly decapitated a Fierce Beast Chicken.

Qin Fan was also momentarily shocked; his military dagger missed the Fierce Beast Chicken’s body and was deflected.

"Rope," Xu Yi said, then pressed down another Fierce Beast Chicken nearby.

Zhou Chun quickly handed a rope to Xu Yi, and the two of them bound the legs of the Fierce Beast Chicken together.

Another Fierce Beast Chicken started to attack Qin Fan and his group, but they had enough people to surround it.

The Fierce Beast Chicken’s attacks were rather simplistic, using only its beak to peck people, so everyone just needed to avoid it.

After Xu Yi tied up the Fierce Beast Chicken’s sharp claws, he grabbed its neck to prevent it from attacking.

Next, of course, was to secure its neck.

This type of Fierce Beast Chicken had short wings, like an ostrich, making it incapable of flying, even for short distances.

Xu Yi used a rope to secure its neck so it couldn’t attack him.

Once done, Xu Yi joined Qin Fan and the others in the fight.

After about ten minutes, Xu Yi’s Spiritual Power recovered somewhat, and he unleashed another Binding Skill.

Then, Xu Yi lunged forward.

The others followed him, pinning down the Fierce Beast Chicken and using the same method to bind it.

By this time, Lu Yao and the others dragged over the Fierce Beast Chicken that Black Qilin had killed.

Four Fierce Beast Chickens: two killed, two captured.

That’s quite a significant haul.

"Xu Yi, these Fierce Beast Chickens don’t seem as powerful as we thought. I didn’t expect us to handle four of them," Lu Ke commented. Her Telekinesis was quite strong and smoothly broke through the Fierce Beast Chicken’s defense, wounding it in several places.

"Fierce Beasts also differ in being carnivorous or herbivorous; these Fierce Beast Chickens should be herbivorous, so their attack power isn’t strong," Xu Yi explained, as creatures share some common characteristics.

Herbivorous animals are naturally weaker than carnivorous ones. If carnivorous animals aren’t strong, they’d starve and be eliminated by nature.

Lu Ke nodded and glanced at the two tied-up Fierce Beast Chickens.

There’s no need to say it; Xu Yi must be planning to tame them and turn them into mounts.

Having a mount would be quite an advantage.

Especially one like Black Qilin, which can help in attacks against Fierce Beasts.

So, Lu Ke sincerely hoped Xu Yi could successfully tame these two Fierce Beast Chickens.

"Set up camp, let’s enjoy some chicken," Xu Yi said cheerfully. He was rather looking forward to it and guessed the Fierce Beast Chicken would taste pretty good.

Everyone heard Xu Yi’s call and got busy.

It’s already nearing five o’clock; it’s definitely time for a break.

In the jungle, night falls quickly, and it’s already getting darker now. By six o’clock, visibility would be gone.

First, they set up tents, and then a few women started preparing the Fierce Beast Chickens.

Qin Fan and the others began training their Telekinesis, while Xu Yi started using his Taming Skills on the Fierce Beast Chickens.

Currently, Xu Yi could use Taming Skills ten consecutive times, which was quite effective.

After using it up, he couldn’t continue for an hour, affecting other skills too.

So, Xu Yi used it eight times in a row, conserving some Spiritual Power.

Eight attempts, none successful.

Xu Yi knew it wouldn’t be easy to succeed, so he wasn’t disappointed.

After exhausting his Taming Skills, Xu Yi began practicing the Supreme Profound Meditation Method.

Lu Ke and the others needed to clean and cook the Fierce Beast Chickens for today’s dinner and cut the remaining meat to store in the Star Chart Space.

These tasks wouldn’t be done in less than an hour.

Therefore, Xu Yi could practice the Supreme Profound Spiritual Meditation for a while to restore more Spiritual Power in case of emergencies.

As for how Xu Yi planned to tame the Fierce Beast Chickens, everyone was curious but didn’t ask much.

After all, Xu Yi mentioned using Spiritual Power. They found it intriguing but didn’t pry, to avoid making Xu Yi feel uneasy.

If it weren’t for Xu Yi, their progress wouldn’t be as rapid.

They wouldn’t know that venturing deeper into the jungle would make them stronger.

Today, they’ve already felt it clearly; the speed of controlling the military dagger with Telekinesis has accelerated.

At this rate, it won’t be long before they can use Telekinesis to command the military dagger to attack Fierce Beasts.

At that point, breaking through the defense of Fierce Beasts will be less strenuous.

Everyone looked forward to that day.
