Chapter 369: Chapter 249: The Harvest

Qu Jianlei teamed up with Water Attribute warriors for the first time, and unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.

The main problem is these Armored Cattle... they’re a bit dumb.

Thunder and lightning and heavy rain, these natural phenomena aren’t unfamiliar to them, but they don’t know how to avoid them.

If there’s a cave or something, they know to hide inside, but on flat grasslands, they are truly clueless.

Many times, the Armored Cattle herd would graze leisurely in the thunderstorm, as if indifferent to life and death.

This time, the Armored Cattle herd panicked purely because the lightning came too suddenly and struck right in the middle of the herd.

After running wildly for a while, they realized it started to rain, and they resigned themselves, standing there in groups.

Some calves even began to lower their heads to graze—as if struck by lightning was bad luck, but remaining untouched meant they were destined to survive.

Qu Jianlei continued to output, and soon, seventy or eighty Armored Cattle were electrocuted and fell to the ground.

This made him wonder, since when did hunting become so easy?

The other warriors saw this and couldn’t help but glance at each other, was Electromagnetic Attribute combined with Water Attribute really this powerful?

Just at that moment, the Land Crocodile couldn’t hold back... so much fallen food?

It’s an amphibian, called Land Crocodile because it can survive on land longer and runs faster than ordinary amphibians.

The Land Crocodile is indifferent to rain and not much afraid of lightning, its eyes only see large pieces of food.

So it leaped forward, wanting to feast.

This guy is over twenty meters long, with its widest part over five meters, seemingly able to swallow an Armored Cattle in one gulp.

Strangely, it doesn’t run slow, at least faster than the Blue Star humans’ hundred-meter champions.

Seeing it rush out, the Armored Cattle herd panicked again, scattering in all directions.

Qu Jianlei was dissatisfied, flicking out a Thunder Strike Skill, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl, striking the Land Crocodile squarely.

I hadn’t planned to deal with you urgently, but you insisted on coming out, don’t blame me for being unkind.

A bolt of lightning, making the crocodile shiver, almost jumped like the Poison Lizard, but was too heavy to do so.

However, B-level standard output was just like this, Qu Jianlei deliberately kept his level at a certain degree.

The crocodile took this hit, injured quite seriously, but continued to charge forward—I just don’t believe it, still daring to take a second hit.

It’s used to being domineering in water and on land, its personality rather reckless.

Not afraid of the impossible? Qu Jianlei unhesitatingly performed another Thunder Strike Skill, similar in strength to before.

The crocodile, after taking the second lightning strike, let out a muffled grunt and fled embarrassingly, even faster than before.

Wild animals are like this, after suffering losses a few times, they learn to be respectful.

Two Sharp-toothed Tigers were also slightly eager—they don’t mind eating lightning-struck animals.

But they also know how terrifying lightning is, seeing the crocodile flee, they chose to continue observing.

When the number of struck down Armored Cattle approached a hundred, one couldn’t hold back, ran madly toward the distance.

This herd of Armored Cattle totals just over four hundred, with one-fifth of its comrades on the ground, truly shocking them.

When one started running, others immediately followed, rather than standing still to face death, why not take a chance?

Thus the lead cattle was born, then a second, third, hundredth...

Qu Jianlei let them run for now—there lie almost a hundred fallen, time for the Modified Warriors to step in and reap the harvest.

When the cattle herd stood unmoving, the Modified Warriors couldn’t act—the Group Attack Techniques aren’t discriminating.

Once the cattle herd completely ran off, Qu Jianlei gestured: go finish them off.

Then he switched targets, starting to attack the lead Armored Cattle running at the front—want to escape? No way, come back to me!

After striking down several more cattle, the herd changed direction, continuing to run, quite like headless cockroaches.

Rainfall Technique and Silver Snake Dance relentlessly attacked, soon the fallen cattle exceeded a hundred fifty.

Seeing more and more fallen cattle, two Sharp-toothed Tigers became restless.

They noticed a new group of prey, seemingly numerous and hard to deal with.

But with so much prey, you can’t finish it all, right? They cautiously approached, intending to sneak in and steal some.

In such a situation, it’s not for Qu Jianlei to act, Group Attacks with lightning might accidentally injure comrades.

But aren’t there still six C-level warriors in the team?

These six had realized they couldn’t join Black Heaven and Vice Leader’s collaboration at the moment, so quickly changed plans.

Currently, what they need to do is protect their own Modified Warriors.

As the two Sharp-toothed Tigers slightly approached, Gold Arrows and Earth Spikes began their attack... along with Vine entanglement.

Weaving left and right, it wasn’t long before they were scratched and bleeding.

Sharp-toothed Tigers in close combat might pose a great threat to Modified Warriors, but encountering Technique long-range attacks, they were far less effective.

Realizing they weren’t opponents, the two Sharp-toothed Tigers turned and fled for their lives, not even daring to have a thought of watching.

Unlike their previous graceful calmness, this time they ran as fast as possible.

```

Because they realized that the other party did not target them at first, not because of a lack of strength, but because their attention was on the armor bulls.

If they didn’t run now, after dealing with the armor bulls, it would be their turn.

This hunt lasted for about an hour and a half, and nearly three hundred armor bulls were taken down.

However, Mu Huahua was really at her limit, and during this one and a half hour, she spent over half an hour resting.

This had a lot to do with her lack of strength, but fortunately, the rainfall technique required time to form and dissipate.

So as long as it rained while she rested, it wouldn’t affect the effect of the lightning.

There was definitely no problem with this approach, and it was feasible, but at the same time, it indirectly highlighted a fact.

Qu Jianlei’s cultivation level was not just a little stronger than hers; the foundation was solid to the extreme.

She released range attacks, but Black Heaven did too — and he kept going.

Qu Jianlei could feel that Mu Huahua’s physical strength and inner breath had been consumed by sixty to seventy percent, and any further would be dangerous.

Zarif Star was a planet in the process of being developed, with the presence of Star Thieves, not an orderly gorge or Divine Land.

In this wild terrain, no one knew what unexpected event might happen next, so maintaining some combat power was necessary.

That’s why he proactively suggested, ”For the remaining one hundred or so, let’s not kill them all. Leave some seeds for breeding.”

”Okay,” Mu Huahua nodded straightforwardly without any objection.

So, does this mean... the Imperial understanding of wild animal conservation has reached a certain level of civilization?

However, Qu Jianlei wasn’t too surprised; Divine Land already understood in the era of the early ancestors: Don’t strike pregnant beasts.

Qu Jianlei withdrew his techniques, looking around expressionlessly, while Mu Huahua continuously gulped down several tubes of nutrient injection to replenish qi.

More than seventy modified warriors went around finishing and dismembering the armor bulls, with six C-level warriors standing guard.

Someone even whispered, ”With so many armor bulls, to drag them back, we still need to call for support.”

If there were more, even if we managed to kill them, we might not be able to transport them back; this number is quite enough.

Even though it’s only seventy kilometers, if something happens, it happens, not to mention losing the haul, the loss of personnel would be terrifying.

That’s why so much loot is enough, and letting some go isn’t a loss.

They came to hunt, not for slaughter.

While it seemed like it was the ending phase, Qu Jianlei noticed that land-walking crocodile.

The crocodile had been observing all the fights here but hadn’t left, probably still holding onto a glimmer of hope.

Noticing Qu Jianlei’s attention, the crocodile knew this guy was the toughest, so it took a few more steps out.

Then it started crawling slowly, not provocatively, but... that’s just how its physical strength was.

The crocodile’s hunting speed could only be maintained for ten to twenty seconds, and most of the time, it needed to keep a normal pace.

Still, it felt a bit reluctant about the prey here, thinking maybe it could snatch a bite or two more.

So, taking a couple of steps and looking back was normal — the key was it didn’t feel any danger.

”Don’t feel like leaving?” Qu Jianlei sneered, ”Everyone, want to take down that crocodile?”

”Yes,” everyone replied in unison, including Mu Huahua.

Actually, even without Qu Jianlei present, these people could take down this crocodile without any issue.

But after a fierce battle, taking down this crocodile without damage would undoubtedly consume a lot of ammunition, an amount hard to estimate.

If they didn’t want to waste ammunition, it would require modified warriors or even C-level warriors to risk their lives.

In other words, they could ensure the harvest, but the cost might be very high.

Two months ago, Blazing Fire might have fought, for ammunition and lives were precious, but... boost morale they could!

Considering Blazing Fire’s current situation, it seemed less appealing.

However, letting such a big hunk of meat go, everyone felt a bit reluctant, so with Black Heaven proposing, they naturally supported it.

”Then let’s take it down,” Qu Jianlei smiled slightly, then performed a finger technique, and one Thunder Strike Skill after another continuously descended.

Honestly, the crocodile usually didn’t regard lightning highly, thinking it was no big deal.

But today, it truly felt the terror of the Thunder Strike Skill.

Just two strikes frightened it into turning and running, and now with successive strikes, how could it dare to resist?

With three strokes of the Thunder Strike Skill, Qu Jianlei basically cooked the crocodile, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, with aromas wafting from its mouth and nose.

Immediately, gold attribute and wood attribute warriors made a move, trying to entwine the struggling crocodile.

Then modified warriors charged up, nimbly maneuvering around to land the final blows on the crocodile.

Dragging back such a crocodile would at least be worth dozens of armor bulls.

Qu Jianlei didn’t care about these; he stood there for a while, then performed another set of finger techniques.

A Thunder Dragon as thick as a wrist shot out, hitting straight into the distant underbrush.
