Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 471: Defeating a Level 4 Fierce Beast
In fact, that’s not quite right.
Because, Li Kang is well aware of the benefits that come after completing the 500 days.
As for Ivica, she has no clue.
How much does Lei Jie know?
Jerry thinks he doesn’t know much. After all, he is just a regular member of the special forces, with a rank of sergeant, so his access is limited.
Unlike Li Kang, who comes from high-ranking military, or Ji Rui, from a political family and an invisible consortium.
Of course, only a few people are aware. The others, being ordinary people, have no sources of information and naturally remain uninformed.
Although Xu Yi has seen the Spirit Race, they didn’t tell him anything.
However, it only takes completing the 500-day challenge for Xu Yi to naturally discover what hidden rewards there are.
As of now, Xu Yi is the most likely to complete this challenge.
Perhaps, he will be the sole person able to complete the challenge.
Yet currently, Xu Yi knows nothing as he is pursuing a Fierce Beast.
Xu Yi finally spotted a Level 4 Fierce Beast, not small in size, a carnivore. However, it was injured, which is why it’s avoiding Xu Yi.
Without a mount, even with Speed Doubling Skills as an advantage, Xu Yi couldn’t catch up to the Level 4 Fierce Beast.
Lightning managed to catch up, but it couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense and almost got bitten, so Xu Yi decided not to let it continue.
This is a very rare flying mount, and Xu Yi doesn’t want it sacrificed before he even has the chance to use it.
After half an hour, Xu Yi lost track of it completely.
Lightning faced the same; the Fierce Beast couldn’t fly long distances, but could nonetheless fly five to six minutes at a time.
Xu Yi felt that his Flying Skills were only about as effective.
Therefore, he hesitated to use such a skill on himself.
An hour later, Xu Yi encountered another Fierce Beast.
Then, the Fierce Beast immediately launched an attack on Xu Yi, hurling several stones at him.
Now Xu Yi knew that using stones to attack wasn’t exclusive to small Fierce Beasts; other Level 4 Fierce Beasts use this method to attack targets as well.
However, the rocks here were limited, so after Xu Yi deflected them, the Fierce Beast leaped directly at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi had already gripped his spear and thus clashed with the Fierce Beast.
Back and forth, neither could overpower the other.
However, after ten or so minutes, Xu Yi gained the upper hand, with his spear getting closer to the Fierce Beast’s skin. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
The Fierce Beast realized the danger and attempted to flee.
But how could Xu Yi let it succeed?
Using a few skills, Xu Yi deprived it of any chance to escape.
After another 5 minutes, Xu Yi finally broke through the Fierce Beast’s defenses, puncturing several holes in its body.
Given the Level 4 Fierce Beast’s strength, it shouldn’t have been fatal.
Then, Xu Yi promptly bound it up.
Taming?
Indeed, Xu Yi did intend to do so; the Black Qilin has yet to recover, staying at the camp.
Xu Yi felt that complete recovery might take over ten days.
Thus, he needed to tame a new mount.
In the Level 4 Fierce Beast Territory, Xu Yi figured it was best to use a Level 4 Fierce Beast.
After binding it, Xu Yi set up a tent.
It’s quite simple, needing only enough space and a push of a button.
After setting up the tent, Xu Yi prepared some dinner.
After the skirmish with this Level 4 Fierce Beast, Xu Yi’s stamina was significantly depleted and needed replenishment.
After eating, Xu Yi began taming the injured Fierce Beast.
Taming it was no easy task.
Relatively speaking, Xu Yi found taming Level 3 Fierce Beasts easier now, and Level 2 was a guaranteed success.
In his team, only Lightning and White Feather counted as Level 3 Fierce Beasts. The rest were Level 2.
If they hadn’t found that giant lake, Xu Yi probably would have tamed more Level 3 Fierce Beasts to replace the Level 2 ones.
But the giant lake had enough fish for food, reducing the need to hunt for food.
Thus, the demand for mounts naturally decreased.
Now, Xu Yi hoped to do some business with Li Kang and the others and get more Star Charts.
Returning was an unavoidable task for Xu Yi. Hence, getting more Star Charts became very important.
In less than an hour, it was dark.
Xu Yi didn’t plan to return today, as he still had a Level 4 Fierce Beast with him.
If it recovered and attacked Lu Ke and the others, it would be dangerous.
Hence, Xu Yi decided to spend the night taming it.
If by noon tomorrow it still remained untamed, Xu Yi planned to kill it, take out its Brain Crystal, and return to camp to inform Lu Ke and the others to migrate to the boundary between the Level 4 and Level 3 Fierce Beast Territories.
The probability of encountering a Level 4 Fierce Beast there was relatively lower.
Time passed slowly, but Xu Yi was still unsuccessful in taming the bear-like Fierce Beast.
Soon, dawn broke, and Xu Yi had to pause taming the Fierce Beast.
"System, check in."
After completing the 163rd day of checking in, Xu Yi began to practice Body Refining Technique.
After finishing four cycles, Xu Yi exited the tent, dragging the Fierce Beast outside.
After packing the tent, Xu Yi prepared some breakfast.
After breakfast, Xu Yi once again balanced taming the Fierce Beast with training.
"Strange, why isn’t Xu Yi moving? Did he get hurt?"
Lu Ke noticed through the Star Chart that Xu Yi hadn’t moved and frowned.
Because she and Qin Fan had already gone out hunting.
At this time, Xu Yi should normally have gone out too?
Qin Fan immediately reassured, "Don’t worry, maybe it’s raining over there, and Xu Yi can’t go out. You know how strong he is better than I do."
Lu Ke shook her head and said, "I know his strength, but I don’t know how strong a Level 4 Fierce Beast is."
Qin Fan glanced at Lu Ke and asked, "If Xu Yi can’t handle a Level 4 Fierce Beast, then we certainly can’t. If you’re really worried about his safety, let’s go find Xu Yi. If he blames us, I’ll say I wasn’t reassured seeing him not moving and wanted to check on him."
"No need, you don’t have to take the blame for me. Xu Yi might scold me a little, but it’s no big deal." Then, Lu Ke used Telekinesis to nudge Erha’s backside, making it head in Xu Yi’s direction.
