BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379 Iron-Backed Bull
Several days later, at a place over 20 kilometres from the forest on top of a lonely cliff where only the sounds of animals could be heard…
A man in silver clothes was standing there. He looked ahead and saw a medium-sized river. There were beasts around, bent and drinking water out of it. They were iron-backed bulls.
The uniqueness of iron-backed bulls was their backs. It was an iron so tough, it was difficult to destroy. They were at the secondary foundation level.
They were one of the strongest beasts of the secondary foundation level.
“Iron-backed bulls would still be difficult for me to handle.” The man in silver clothes frowned. He was none other than Bai Chen.
Bai Chen had been here for a while. He had been travelling for days. He’d had to walk through all of the forest until he had gotten here.
While he was travelling, Bai Chen had also completed three sub-missions along the way.
He received 190 points and magical bonuses from each of them. Thus, his level was already at 26 and he had a total of 390 magical bonuses.
All of them merely required him to search for herbs. Thus, they had been fairly easy.
Right now, Bai Chen chose to do the next sub-mission. He had to kill the iron-backed bull. The details were as followed:
---
[Sub-mission: Slay 1 secondary foundation beast]
Description: You have to kill 1 secondary foundation beast.
Reward for success: Win 110 points + 110 magical bonuses
---
The reward of this sub-mission was reasonable. Killing an iron-backed bull was not easy.
Even though it was not easy, it was not that difficult for Bai Chen either.
He owned a high-grade weapon like the sacred sword, so it was easy. He only needed to find a good chance to land a blow.
“I should get to it now, if I don’t want to waste any time.”
Bai Chen did not want to waste any more time. He did not hesitate to walk down the cliff and head for the iron-backed bull.
At the base of the cliff, there were not that many trees. Yet, they were all big trees.
Bai Chen walked carefully until he was as close to the iron-backed bulls as he could be.
Bai Chen hid behind a big tree and looked at them. There were more than 10 of them.
It was not easy for him to kill only one bull out of all of them. It would have been easier if they had been scattered about. They were packed in tight, drinking water at the edge of the stream.
Bai Chen did not rush things. He waited calmly until the pack started to walk separate ways.
Hours later, it had already turned to nighttime. The sun had already set and the moon had replaced it. The bright moonlight allowed him to see everything clearly.
‘Finally, there’s only one left!’
Bai Chen was happy that there was finally only one bull left here. It was about to walk away.
Bai Chen had been waiting for this since the sky had still been bright. He would not let the last bull go. Without hesitation, he rushed out from behind the tree and leapt towards it.
Hearing the noise, the bull quickly turned to Bai Chen.
Its red eyes glowed maliciously when it saw a human standing there.
Rustle... Rustle...
It dragged its feet along the ground. Then, it cried out loudly. Its big, sharp horns rushed towards Bai Chen at an incredible speed!
Seeing that, Bai Chen did not even think about dodging. He took out his sacred sword and quickly swung it.
A small golden thread of the sword’s will leapt towards the bull!
The iron-backed bull suddenly decided to veer to the side.
Bai Chen’s eyes widened a little. He did not expect that it would be able to execute an evasion. However, Bai Chen did not have much time to think as the bull was about to run away.
It turned its trembling body away and started to run with all its might.
It was so scared, it’d had to flee. It was not scared of Bai Chen, but the sacred sword in Bai Chen’s hand.
It did not have to use its instincts to know how powerful and fearful the golden sword in Bai Chen’s hand was.
The aura that was emitted from the sword was too much for it to handle. Due to that, it was only natural for it to run away. It also wanted to live longer.
Bai Chen’s eyes got sharper when he looked at the fleeing bull. He did not hesitate to follow it with all his might. In seconds, he caught up with the bull and attacked.
He swung the sacred sword once. A small golden thread of will cut through the air and leapt towards the iron back of the bull!
Crash!
There was a sound like shattering glass. Its iron back could not withstand the power of the will. It broke into pieces along with the body being cut in half!
A sharp cry could be heard for only a second before it went still. It was already dead!
Bai Chen stood there. He thought that it was actually not as difficult as he’d thought. It had actually been quite easy.
It was all because of the sacred sword. If Bai Chen did not have it with him, the bull would not have been scared to the point that it had had to run away and ended up dying like this.
