Chapter 91
“Moo!”
The Fire Bull let out an angry bellow, glanced at Fang Bai, then turned towards the direction the arrow had come from. A fireball quickly appeared between its two horns, and after a few seconds, it shot out.
“Whew~”
The young man with yellow hair looked at Fang Bai’s grim face and whistled at him with a chuckle, then disappeared behind the vegetation. The fireball smashed into the bushes and trees, blasting a large hole, but it didn’t ignite a fire.
“Bastard!”
Wang Xiong’s face was extremely unsightly. He immediately ordered his men to surround the area.
“Wang Xiong, don’t chase him. You’re no match for him. Be careful of an ambush.”
Fang Bai’s voice came. At this moment, he had regained his composure, or rather, Fang Bai had never lost his composure. He simply took a deep look in that direction, memorizing the face he had just seen.
Fang Bai didn’t like to hold grudges because remembering too much hatred and bitterness could easily make his life unpleasant. Relatively speaking, Fang Bai preferred to remember happy things, which made him happy when he thought about them.
This wasn’t something Fang Bai did deliberately; it was a personality he had developed since childhood, a magnanimous personality, that’s what it was.
But this didn’t mean that Fang Bai had a bad memory. Since this person chose to prance around in front of Fang Bai, Fang Bai would naturally let him understand that some things had consequences.
“Village Chief!”
Wang Xiong and the others stopped, but the weapons in their hands were still not lowered. Fang Bai looked at the arrow that had pierced directly into the Fire Bull’s buttocks and spoke again.
“Didn’t you hear what I said? You’re not his opponent. An archer like that can take you all out in the forest!
I don’t have time to chase him. Are you going to follow him and get yourselves killed?
Stay put!”
Fang Bai said as he confronted the Fire Bull. At this moment, the fire elements in the surrounding environment gradually became agitated, obviously influenced by the Fire Bull’s emotions.
“Moo!”
With a bellow, fire elements gathered between the Fire Bull’s horns, and a fireball faintly formed. Seeing this, Fang Bai immediately retreated a few steps, backing up until he was twenty meters away before the fireball between the Fire Bull’s horns slowly dissipated. Then, the Fire Bull lay down on the ground and turned its head to lick the wound where the arrow had struck.
Seeing this, Fang Bai wanted to get closer, but as soon as he moved, the Fire Bull turned its head to look at him, and the fire elements gathered again. Fang Bai immediately stopped.
“Damn it!”
At this moment, Fang Bai was also angry, but he still suppressed it. He looked at the Fire Bull and penetrated his Mental Power into the Fire Bull’s body to continue studying the spell model inside.
Fang Bai’s Mental Power could cover a radius of one hundred meters. If he wanted to use his Mental Power to perceive the inside of a human or a Magical Beast’s body, he could do it within one hundred meters.
Fang Bai had tried it. They couldn’t detect when he used his Mental Power to perceive the inside of their bodies. A body full of elemental power would at most cause Fang Bai to need a few minutes to tens of minutes to penetrate, as long as it wasn’t a structure like a Crystal Core that was mixed with Mental Power, nothing could absolutely prevent Mental Power from penetrating.
Of course, if the target of his perception also had strong enough Mental Power, they would also discover and block Fang Bai’s Mental Power. But obviously, this Fire Bull didn’t.
The reason why Fang Bai wanted to get closer wasn’t simply to study the spell model inside its body but also because he wanted to lure this Fire Bull back to the village.
The Fire Bull hadn’t been repelled by him at all, but it had suddenly been shot by an arrow and was injured. Although it wasn’t him who shot it, the Fire Bull had developed a resistance to him, who was also in human form.
Seeing this, Fang Bai had no choice but to first perceive the spell model inside its body and get the spell model first. But at the same time, Fang Bai also took out a Spell Scroll.
Although Fang Bai didn’t carry weapons like bows and arrows or daggers because he was worried about the Fire Bull’s resistance, he still had Spell Scrolls with him. He took them out just in case.
The Fire Bull licked its wound bit by bit with its tongue. The flames covering the wound gradually grew larger, gradually enveloping the entire arrow in flames.
Seeing that the Fire Bull was mobilizing the fire elements, Fang Bai immediately paid attention to the changes in the elemental model inside its body.
On the other side, the yellow-haired young man who had quickly run down the mountain walked to the front of a moving group and spoke to a man with a shield.
“Brother-in-law, there’s a strange willow tree over there, a Magical Beast Fire Bull, and about twenty or thirty people. I’m telling you, there was even a guy sitting next to the Fire Bull trying to feed it grass. I shot an arrow right into its butt.
That guy’s face turned green. You weren’t there; you didn’t see his expression.
Swish, that expression was priceless.”
The man with the shield frowned when he heard this.
“Didn’t I tell you not to provoke people casually? I’ve told you several times before. You’ll provoke someone you can’t afford to offend sooner or later!”
The yellow-haired young man’s face immediately showed impatience.
“Alright, alright, I know who I can and can’t afford to offend. Besides, in the entire Shen Shan Town, who can we not afford to offend?
You’re as nagging as my mom.”
“I’m telling you…”
“Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I know, I know. I’m your only relative, right? Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself. It’s others who should be worried. Let’s hurry up and go. If we’re any slower, it’ll be dark.
By the way, should we go and rob that guy from just now? I have a feeling that strange willow tree is also something good.”
“No, we have our own goals. Also, from now on, you stay in the team and follow me. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, brother-in-law. I’ll just follow you and go nowhere.”
The yellow-haired young man curled his lip in disdain as their group of more than ten people continued to go deeper into the mountains west of Shen Shan Town.
Fang Bai held a pile of tender vegetables, grass, and some cattle feed as he approached the Fire Bull again. But whenever he got close, it would inevitably arouse the Fire Bull’s vigilance. Fang Bai could clearly sense the fire elements gathering between the Fire Bull’s horns, which forced him to stop.
At this moment, flames were blazing on the Fire Bull’s buttocks, trying to burn the wooden arrow. But the arrow showed no signs of catching fire, which made the Fire Bull’s emotions even more agitated, and the surrounding fire elements became agitated along with it.
Seeing this, Fang Bai used his Mental Power to soothe the surrounding fire elements while trying to use his Mental Power to establish a connection with the Fire Bull and convey goodwill. However, he couldn’t find the knack for it. In desperation, Fang Bai had to speak.
“I mean no harm. I’ll help you pull that out. I won’t hurt you. Don’t worry.”
Fang Bai said it over and over again, pointing at the arrow on the Fire Bull’s buttocks as he spoke.
The Fire Bull kept looking at Fang Bai as he spoke, its eyes flickering with intelligence. Seeing this, Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, then walked forward as he spoke.
To his surprise, this time, the Fire Bull didn’t show any intention to attack. Fang Bai was overjoyed, but he still didn’t dare to speed up his pace, only approaching slowly.
There were often videos on TikTok of hoof trimming, saying that cattle are empathetic, they just can’t speak. If you’re helping them get rid of a problem, they won’t kick you even if it hurts. Of course, if they have a headache and you give them a shot in the butt, that’s a different story. Wait to get kicked.
Fang Bai thought this might be true because at this moment, he had arrived beside the Fire Bull’s buttocks.
