Chapter 17: The Hunt
Under the morning sun, deep in the blackwood forest, a battle was taking place. It was a two-on-one siege, but the attacker was a rare combination of humans and alien beasts.
Jiang Yan stepped forward with a long sword in his hand, and with a move of Half Moon Slash, he drew a half-circle of the crescent moon image, attacked the grizzly bear opposite, and then slashed on its black claws.
The shape of the grizzly bear looks the same as that of an ordinary black bear, but its eyes are as red as blood, and each pair of bear paws has three black dagger-like claws that are two inches long. Normal bears attack with their teeth.
It bites and slaps with its palms, but this guy prefers to use the claws on its hands as weapons to tear apart its prey.
"Beep!!" A black shadow quickly struck from the side. While the grizzly bear was blocking Jiang Yan's attack, it flew past the grizzly bear's back with a swipe, bringing out a bloody light, and tore several wounds on the grizzly bear's back.
There was a hideous gash, and the flesh inside rolled and split open, with traces of blood spilling out.
"Ouch——!!"
The injured grizzly bear roared, but was unable to do anything to the black iron eagle that had flown far away, so he vented his anger on Jiang Yan. He opened the sword with one claw and slashed Jiang Yan's head with the other claw.
Came over.
However, its speed was a bit inferior to Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan noticed its attack just as it was launched. He tapped the ground lightly with his toes. Jiang Yan's body was as light as if he was blown by the wind, and he retreated dexterously.
Avoid the grizzly bear's counterattack by one foot.
After adjusting his breathing, Jiang Yan turned his wrist to relieve the shock he received when the grizzly bear knocked back the long sword. He looked at the giant claws on the two front paws of the clawed bear and bared his teeth.
, there was a look of trouble on his face.
The Claw Bear is an acquired six-level powerful beast. It has rough skin and thick flesh. It also has powerful strength and amazing killing capabilities. Its disadvantage is that it is slow, but it is very good at facing the enemy head-on and defending. To fight it, you must always
Pay attention to its sharp claws, and the best strategy is to use multi-faceted siege and fighting methods to avoid head-on confrontation with it.
Jiang Yan cooperated with the Black Iron Eagle, and he fought head-on to attract the clawed bear's attention, while the Black Iron Eagle waited in the sky for an opportunity to strike and inflict wounds on the clawed bear. He fought with the clawed bear for four or five rounds, and became familiar with it.
After understanding the clawed bear's fighting habits, they finally took action and caused effective damage to the clawed bear.
However, with the body of this clawed bear, which is more than two meters tall, the wounds on the back scratched by the black iron eagle cannot be said to be minor, but they are far from serious injuries. If you want to kill the clawed bear with these wounds, at least
I have to come here seven or eight times.
But Jiang Yan had the patience, so he wasn't too anxious.
The acquired sixth-level clawed bears are already at the overlord level in this dark wood forest, and there are not too many of them. However, higher-level beasts can basically only be seen in the Barbarian Bone Mountains. Jiang Yan can
I don't know whether to say it was good or bad luck to meet this big guy here.
After adjusting his breath, Jiang Yan continued to charge forward with his sword, and stabbed the clawed bear in the face with a sharp sword thrust.
The clawed bear raised its paws and covered its face with its paws for protection, but it didn't know that this was just a feint from Jiang Yan.
Just before the long sword was about to hit the claw, the force suddenly stopped, and then it deftly turned and stabbed the clawed bear's empty abdomen.
The Claw Bear, which is powerful but obviously lacking in IQ, naturally did not expect these changes. It has been the king of the dark wood forest for many years, and its combat experience is not as good as the Black Iron Eagle, which grew up in the cruel competition environment of the racial group.
, this clawed bear is so big that it is crushed in many battles.
So when Jiang Yan started to change his tactics and use feints, the clawed bear was directly hit.
Poof! The long sword pierced the fur on the clawed bear's abdomen, and the blade of the sword penetrated half of it.
"Ouch——!" The pain caused the clawed bear to subconsciously slap Jiang Yan in front of him with one paw, very quickly.
At such a close distance, the clawed bear was in a condescending position facing Jiang Yan, so its attack was naturally oppressive. And because of the severe pain, the clawed bear subconsciously tightened the muscles of the injured area, making Jiang Yan unable to
Immediately withdrew the long sword that had thrust out.
If he chooses to withdraw his sword, he will have no time to dodge and will be attacked by the clawed bear. As long as the giant claw is firmly grasped, it will definitely kill half of the person's life; if he chooses to dodge, it means that Jiang Yan will temporarily lose his weapon.
Jiang Yan didn't even have a tenth of a second to think before he came to the conclusion. Jiang Yan did not waste time drawing the sword, but let go without hesitation and stepped back to avoid the giant claws that were cutting off his neck.
At the same time, he also took off the short bow that had been hung on his waist before the battle, and took out the arrows from his backpack.
After the clawed bear forced Jiang Yan back, he was just about to use his palms to grab the long sword stuck in his belly and pull it out, when he heard a brush and an arrow flew from the hand of the previous human.
The power of a short bow is not great. Unless it hits a vulnerable target such as the eye, it is really not a threat to a rough-skinned and thick-fleshed beast like the Clawed Bear.
However, Jiang Yan's arrow aimed exactly at the clawed bear's eye.
Among the martial arts copied by Jiang Yan, compared to the common weapon martial arts such as swordsmanship, knife skills, spear skills, and stick skills, which have all reached their peak level, the level of archery skills is a little lower, only the Dacheng level.
For warriors, archery is a relatively rare skill, because when shooting with a bow, the enemy will always be left with some gaps, and the number of attacks must be limited to the number of arrows. If you are approached, you will be at a disadvantage.
In addition, the lethality of bows and arrows is very dependent on the strength of the bow. Unless the user's bow skills are very high, the power of the arrows will always be limited. Combined with these shortcomings, there will naturally be fewer warriors practicing bow skills.
Unless the warrior's cultivation can reach the point where the internal force can be released externally, so that it can be added to the arrow for amplification, then the lethality of the arrow itself will be significantly improved.
Because he didn't meet many warriors who practiced archery, Jiang Yan didn't copy much archery skill software.
But coupled with his precise calculation ability and control, the power of the bow and arrow in his hand will never be inferior. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are no missed shots.
The arrow struck, and the clawed bear couldn't block it in time. He only had time to instinctively close his eyes, tilt his head back, and then felt that one eye was stabbed hard, even though it was protected by the thick eyelids.
Even though it was blind, it still became unbearably swollen and painful, making it unable to open its eyes.
After beating the drowned dog hard, Jiang Yan took advantage of the situation and fired several more arrows, aiming at the clawed bear's other eye, nose, and throat. There was even an arrow that hit the hilt of the long sword inserted in the opponent's belly.
Passed by!
The clawed bear waved its palms to block the attacks coming towards its head, and then felt another pain in its stomach. The arrow that it ignored and headed towards its stomach hit the hilt of the sword accurately.
The impact force carried by the arrow was transmitted, causing the sword body that had already penetrated half of the body to penetrate another quarter deeper.
Chapter completed!
