Chapter 907: Sundial Secret Realm (Part 6) - First-Tier Beast
Twenty minutes later, Su Yu arrived at a mountain hollow ten kilometers north of Sundial Village.
To the west stood a towering mountain peak, so high that he couldn't even see the summit from his position.
After walking ten kilometers, he had left the farmlands behind, fully entering the domain of wild animals.
"Let's stop here. I'll scout around and see if there are any beasts nearby," Su Yu decided, no longer moving forward as he began to search for any signs of wildlife.
It wasn't that Su Yu didn't want to continue. According to the map, the further he went, the higher the chances of encountering large beasts. In his current area, he would only find small animals like rabbits and wild sheep.
But he was running out of time.
He had a meeting with the Blue Star players in forty minutes and couldn't afford to venture any further.
"I'll just have to look around here. Hopefully, I'll find something. Even a wild rabbit would do!"
As he thought, Su Yu carefully examined the ground for any tracks, slowly expanding his search.
...
Perhaps it was Su Yu's good luck, but the first set of tracks he found were fresh.
Following the beast's footprints, he finally saw a massive silhouette in front of him after ten minutes!
This wasn't an ordinary beast; it was a first-tier magical beast!
The beast resembled a cross between a rhinoceros and a wild boar, with a huge, brownish-yellow body and a sharp, long horn on its head.
Seeing this magical beast, Su Yu's heart leaped with joy!
This beast was truly enormous, larger than the biggest water buffalo he had ever seen, weighing at least six to seven hundred kilograms!
Such a large creature, if killed and eaten, would provide enough meat to feed their group of fourteen for over ten days!
Since he had found it, there was no reason to let it go.
Su Yu crouched low, carefully stepping over the low shrubs, and slowly approached the first-tier magical beast.
The magical beast, unaware of the impending danger, was leisurely feasting on the remains of other animals, occasionally swishing its tail to drive away nearby insects.
But as it swished its tail, it suddenly felt something was amiss.
It lifted its head and looked around.
Though it didn't know the enemy was near, its keen sixth sense detected a hint of danger.
Soon, it heard rapid footsteps.
Turning toward the source of the sound, it saw a young Blue Star human in a simple cloth robe sprinting toward it.
"Hmph!" The first-tier beast snorted, exhaling two gusts of air from its nostrils.
It knew about these small Blue Star humans. It had encountered them before, and many had become its food.
Some experienced Blue Star hunters had tried to capture it, but it was still alive, proving they hadn't succeeded.
Now, a weaponless Blue Star human was charging straight at it.
Was this some kind of bonus meal?
The first-tier beast thanked its good fortune and adjusted its horn, preparing to take down this foolish human.
However, Su Yu wasn't as easy to handle as the beast imagined.
He quickly assessed the terrain and ran up a small hill near the magical beast. With a light step on the hill, he leaped into the air, performing a 360-degree spin before gracefully landing on the beast's back.
The first-tier magical beast felt the sudden weight on its back and realized the situation was dire.
An ordinary Blue Star human couldn't perform such a difficult maneuver, and even a first-tier hunter would struggle. It had met its match!
But it was too late to regret.
"Sorry," Su Yu said, grabbing the long horn on the creature's head with his left hand and swinging his right fist in a graceful arc. His fist, the size of a vinegar bowl, smashed straight into the forehead of the first-stage beast.
"Roar!"
The first-stage beast was dazed by the blow. It struggled to run forward, shaking its body wildly in an attempt to dislodge Su Yu.
But Su Yu's legs were like iron whips, clamped tightly around the beast's body. No matter how much it thrashed, Su Yu remained as steady as a mountain.
Once he stabilized himself, Su Yu continued to pummel the beast's head.
One punch, two punches, three punches...
The first-stage beast's seven orifices began to bleed, and it could only struggle in its dying moments.
It was, after all, just a first-stage beast, and it had no resistance against Su Yu, who had reached the peak of the second stage.
Finally, after a dozen punches, the first-stage beast could no longer hold on. With a loud thud, it collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, its life force ebbing away.
"Done!" Su Yu jumped off the beast, panting heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Defeating this first-stage beast had taken a considerable toll on his stamina.
Fortunately, it was just a first-stage beast, and it couldn't withstand his full-force punches.
If it had been a second-stage beast, he would have had to exert much more effort, possibly exhausting himself completely!
"Rest in peace. We're just trying to survive," Su Yu said, delivering a final, decisive punch to end the beast's life.
But as the first-stage beast finally died, Su Yu suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
"Why am I feeling sorry for killing this beast? It's just an illusion created by the secret realm. Am I being too sentimental?"
Su Yu shook off these thoughts and bent down, using his shoulder to lift the first-stage beast.
"Wow, this is heavy!" Su Yu's face darkened slightly.
For a peak second-stage Blue Man like him, the weight of around 600 to 700 kilograms wasn't much of a problem.
But carrying it for over ten kilometers of mountainous terrain would be quite a challenge!
"Whatever, I'll try carrying it myself first. If I can't manage, I'll call for help later."
Su Yu hoisted the first-stage beast onto his shoulder and began the arduous journey back to Sunlight Village.
...
...
40 minutes later, in front of the main house of the village's matriarch.
All 13 other Blue Star players, including Su Yu, had gathered here.
During the past hour, except for Zhong Feng, who had stayed at the matriarch's house, the others, like Yun Zhongmudi and Ice Black Tea, had explored the village.
Yun Zhongmudi had a high emotional quotient. He massaged a wealthy-looking old Blue Man, winning her favor and bringing back two large pieces of bread.
The players shared the bread.
Although the bread was only enough to slightly fill their stomachs, it was a welcome treat, and no one complained.
Ice Black Tea, on the other hand, had walked around the entire village and used his sense of direction to draw a map of the area.
What is the most essential thing when you arrive in a new place?
The answer is a map.
Ice Black Tea quickly completed the map, putting everyone at ease.
