Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 427: Level 3 Fierce Beast Attack

At night, it was always very calm.

Before dawn, Lu Ke got up.

After all, the tent could be lit, and the light was like daylight, so no one outside could see what they were doing. This way, she could practice the Body Refining Technique with peace of mind.

Today, she planned to try the second move of the Body Refining Technique.

As Lu Ke got up, Xu Yi finished his training.

"System, clock in."

Today was the 141st day of clocking in. After completion, Xu Yi also started practicing the Body Refining Technique.

Then, Lu Ke asked Xu Yi for help.

With Xu Yi’s assistance, Lu Ke barely completed the second move.

However, on the second try, Lu Ke was able to do it herself, showing much improvement compared to when she learned the first move.

Over an hour later, Xu Yi walked out of the tent.

Outside, everyone had already been practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening for a while.

Today, they still planned to go out, especially after discovering how strong Xu Yi was, which really put them at ease. Previously, they were worried about what would happen if Xu Yi encountered a group of level 2 Fierce Beasts at the camp.

Now they knew that Xu Yi’s combat power alone was stronger than all 11 of them put together, so there was nothing to worry about.

After breakfast, they continued their outing.

They still needed at least 5 unicorn horses to ensure everyone had one to ride.

Lightning stayed in the camp with Xu Yi, as it had only been subdued twice and hadn’t reached the level of the Black Qilin. To fully understand Xu Yi’s commands, it needed to be subdued at least five times.

Xu Yi found that the success rate of subduing decreased with repeated attempts.

The meat was not yet cured, so Xu Yi had to tend to the campfire, waiting for the meat to be ready and stored.

Suddenly, Lightning let out a series of anxious cries, appearing somewhat terrified.

A level 3 Fierce Beast.

A thought flashed in Xu Yi’s mind, and three flying arrows appeared from the void.

In addition to the flying arrows, a long spear appeared in Xu Yi’s hand.

"Is a level 3 Fierce Beast coming? Xu Yi looks very serious."

"It should be. Lightning sounds so frightened."

"It’s probably because the bloody smell from dealing with so many Fierce Beasts yesterday was too strong."

"Can Xu Yi handle it? I’m so worried."

"He should be able to; didn’t Xu Yi hunt that giant python last time?"

"Look, here it comes, a... mink?"

"Such a small Fierce Beast, it really does look like a mink."

"Whoa, is that speed teleportation? It’s outrageously fast!"

Xu Yi saw the speed of the Fierce Beast, his expression growing more serious.

It’s hard to deal with; this Fierce Beast is definitely hard to deal with.

The smaller it is, the more dangerous it is, that saying is always true.

As it lunged at Xu Yi, Lightning also leapt at it.

To protect its master, although knowing it was no match, Lightning chose to protect its master.

"Lightning, retreat." Xu Yi shouted, and three flying arrows shot towards the Fierce Beast.

But it was already too late.

Xu Yi saw Lightning get clawed; if it weren’t for Xu Yi’s timely flying arrows, Lightning might have been killed by the opponent.

Seizing the opportunity, Lightning immediately flew away, landing on a tree.

A moment’s delay and Lightning would have been doomed. Now, its wings had multiple bone-deep wounds.

Xu Yi’s flying arrows did not hit the Fierce Beast, as its speed was too fast and completely evaded Xu Yi’s attack.

Even though Xu Yi’s spiritual power had locked onto the opponent, the speed of the arrows was too slow to harm it.

Then Xu Yi was attacked.

The opponent’s attack was extremely sharp, retreating without giving Xu Yi any chance to counterattack.

Despite Xu Yi constructing a protective layer using his spiritual power, he knew he couldn’t withstand many more hits.

"Lightning was so loyal just now, charging in knowing it was outmatched."

"This Fierce Beast’s speed is way too fast; it’s unwinnable."

"If Loli Ke and the others encountered this Fierce Beast, they might all be wiped out, right?"

"Will Xu Yi end up giving up the challenge and wait for the next hundred days to re-enter?"

"How can you fight this, so fast and cunning, using its advantages to wear you down."

Xu Yi was extremely frustrated that his skills couldn’t hit successfully.

Because the Fierce Beast’s speed was too fast, the skills couldn’t hit it.

Therefore, Xu Yi had to seize the opportunity and use binding skills on it.

Unfortunately, it was too cunning.

As it dashed past Xu Yi, it attacked with its claws, stopping for just a moment before darting away.

If this continues, Xu Yi thought he might really have to give up.

Unless he could fly.

Unfortunately, he didn’t possess that ability yet.

The wounds on Xu Yi’s body were increasing, all concentrated on his legs.

This can’t go on; he had to think of a way!

Xu Yi muttered to himself and began pondering a strategy.

The three flying arrows circled rapidly around Xu Yi’s body, yet they still couldn’t block the opponent’s attacks.

Tent, a flash of inspiration hit Xu Yi.

So, he dashed into the tent.

By limiting its activity range, Xu Yi might be able to hit it with his skills.

Once struck by Xu Yi’s skill, he could bind it and then attack it relentlessly.

In all the challenges he had participated in, it was the first time he was this embarrassed.

After rushing into the tent, the Fierce Beast stopped. After all, it couldn’t see Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was a bit surprised it didn’t follow in.

Outside, Xu Yi’s flying arrows were still keeping an eye on the Fierce Beast.

If it left just like that, Xu Yi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Once he elevated to Level 3 Divine Master, handling it wouldn’t be a concern.

However, it seemed in no hurry to leave, circling the outside.

It was even sneaking bites of the smoked meat.

"Not coming in?" Xu Yi lifted the tent flap, then called out: "Lightning."

Lightning was quite badly injured, so Xu Yi needed to address its wounds first.

A Fierce Beast brave enough to protect its master had to be saved with effort.

Upon hearing Xu Yi’s call, Lightning immediately leapt down from the tree. However, it almost crashed to the ground.

Thankfully, it managed to take flight, swiftly reaching Xu Yi and landing on his arm.

The Fierce Beast Black Mink glanced over but ignored Xu Yi and Lightning, seemingly fond of the smoked meat, snatching another piece before quickly leaving the camp. No one knew where it hid.

Seeing Lightning’s wounds, Xu Yi couldn’t help but gasp; a bone was actually broken.

And yet, it had still flown to him.

Thus, Xu Yi took out a Rapid-Acting Body Repair Potion.

Without further ado, he administered a third of it to Lightning, then injected the rest into his own thigh.

Xu Yi guessed this potion was dosed for him and might be too strong for Lightning, so he only applied a third to it.
