After returning to the tribe, Esdeath spent several days training and hunting with the tribespeople, not going out again, occasionally practicing with her gun.
On a rest day after a hunting day, three peers from the tribe found Esdeath.
They were Ibia, Rune, and Safi.
“Hey, Esdeath, come over here.”
Three teenagers, around thirteen or fourteen years old, gathered together and waved at Esdeath.
Esdeath walked over: “What’s the matter?”
Esdeath didn’t have any friends in the tribe before because she used to be too weak; nobody would play with her, and they wouldn’t invite her to any activities.
But as she grew stronger, she slowly gained everything.
“Esdeath, we heard your archery is pretty good.
Are you interested in coming with us to hunt a Level 2 Danger Beast?”
A Level 2 Danger Beast is a creature two to four or five times more dangerous than a Level 3 Danger Beast.
For a few young tribespeople, hunting one is quite risky.
“Oh?”
Ibia said somewhat reluctantly: “We found a bird-type Level 2 Danger Beast, a Krila Bird, over by the cliff woodlands, but it’s very fast and can fly at low altitudes.
We want you to shoot it in the eye so that our success rate in hunting it will be greatly improved.”
Rune also said excitedly: “Esdeath, don’t you want to shock the adults?
The four of us successfully hunting a Level 2 Danger Beast.”
Esdeath thought for a moment and agreed: “Okay, let’s go together.”
Not knowing what mechanism she triggered, the system popped up again: “As a qualified villain, how can you have no subordinates?
Recruit three loyal subordinates in the tribe, and you will be rewarded with the special skill: Master-Servant Mark.”
“The Master-Servant Mark can be branded onto those who pledge loyalty to you, allowing you to check their loyalty at any time and control their spirits to a certain extent.”
Esdeath and the three others fully armed themselves and headed to the woodlands where the Level 2 Danger Beast was discovered.
Teenagers always want to do something earth-shattering to let everyone know, and for the tribe, the best achievement is hunting a powerful Danger Beast.
The four walked south until they reached some muddy woodlands.
Ibia said: “That bird is in this woodland.”
Esdeath nodded, activated Eye of True Sight, and stared into the woodlands.
She indeed observed traces of dark red aura activity, and at the same time, her passive ability was reminding her that there was a fierce predator in this forest.
“Don’t you think it’s very quiet in here?
You can’t even hear a single insect chirping.”
Esdeath said: “That’s only natural.
Isn’t the Krila Bird living here?
It must have eaten all the food around.”
The four continued forward.
Ibia led the three to a tree that was unusually tall.
“Strange, I clearly saw it here before.” Ibia muttered.
“Maybe it went out to forage.” Safi said.
Ibia said: “Anyway, let’s look around.”
The four searched in the woods.
Esdeath activated Eye of True Sight.
Streaks of dark red traces crisscrossed on the big tree in front of her, extending in all directions, and the freshest and most recent one extended to the northeast.
That direction…
“Hey, it’s over there.
Follow me.” Esdeath said.
“How do you know?”
“This is my beast-like intuition.
Just follow me.”
Esdeath walked in front, full of confidence, and Ibia and the others followed.
As they followed the path further and further, Esdeath gradually felt the dangerous aura unique to a Level 2 Danger Beast.
“Be careful, it’s ahead.”
“Where?
How come I don’t see it…” Rune shouted.
Before he finished speaking, a violent gust of wind blew by, making the corners of the four’s clothes rustle.
However, this wasn’t a natural wind, but a gale carrying the stench of animals.
The bird’s high-pitched cry rang out, and as it flapped its wings, sand and stones swept toward the four of them.
“It’s a Krila Bird!”
“Oh my god!”
A large bird with a wingspan of nearly three meters flew up from the tall trees in the woods.
Its yellow feathers, densely packed, shone with the luster of iron in the sunlight, covering its entire body.
Its sharp gaze stared directly at the four people who had intruded into its territory.
Such a big one.
For some reason, Esdeath became excited.
Only a creature like this is worth hunting.
She had to kill it.
The Krila Bird let out a high cry and flapped its wings violently.
The waves it stirred up made it almost impossible for people to stand steady, easily creating an environment that made hunting difficult.
“Esdeath, shoot its eyes quickly!”
Esdeath activated Eye of True Sight, drew her bow fully, used Double Burst power to aim at the Krila Bird’s eyes, and the arrow left the string.
However, the next moment, the Krila Bird flapped its wings violently.
The flying arrow was actually deflected by the gale, missing its mark.
It made a clinking sound as it hit the feathered head, like hitting steel, and fell off.
No, in such a gale, the arrow simply couldn’t hit.
The other three also nocked arrows and fired at the air, but their arrows were blown away by the rising gale the moment they were fired, even worse than Esdeath.
The Krila Bird would not let the enemies who invaded its territory go.
It flew over violently, heading straight for the nearest Rune, its silver-shining giant beak pecking down like a sharp arrow.
Rune hurriedly rolled and narrowly dodged the attack.
However, just after Rune dodged, the Krila Bird’s giant beak pecked down again, unbelievably fast.
This time, Rune couldn’t dodge.
He screamed as he was pecked and picked up by the Krila Bird.
Only then did Ibia realize that their decision to hunt the Krila Bird was a very stupid one.
A Level 2 Danger Beast was not comparable to those ordinary Danger Beasts; the gap in strength was like heaven and earth, especially for a Danger Beast like the Krila Bird that also had the advantage of flight.
Esdeath watched the Krila Bird flying into the high sky; it seemed to want to throw Rune down from above to kill him.
Esdeath let out a soft breath, took the hunting rifle she carried on her back, and aimed.
The power of the hunting rifle was smaller than her arrow, but its speed was much faster.
Now, only bullets could possibly pierce through this gale.
Eye of True Sight activated.
In the black and white scene, Ibia and the other two became background boards.
With a bang, as the sound fell, a small flower of blood splattered from the Krila Bird’s right eye.
It let out a pained cry and released its mouth.
Rune immediately fell down.
Fortunately, it hadn’t flown very high; three or four meters wouldn’t kill anyone.
Rune’s back was stabbed by the beak and he could barely stand, so he could only crawl away from the battlefield.
Esdeath fired another shot, blinding the Krila Bird’s left eye as well.
Now, the opponent flew around like a headless chicken in the woods, crashing into trees from time to time.
“Attack!”
The three who still had combat capability used swords and ropes, taking advantage of the Krila Bird’s blindness, using iron wire ropes to tie it up and forcefully hold it down.
Sparks flew everywhere with a crackling sound; that was the sound of swords hacking at its body.
“This guy’s feathers are too hard, just like iron.”
“There’s no other way, we can only hold it down first.”
The three of them held it down for half an hour, letting the Krila Bird struggle, until it was exhausted.
Esdeath saw her chance, pulled out a dagger, leaped onto the Krila Bird’s back, and stabbed it one knife after another along its eye socket.
She didn’t know how many times she stabbed it, but the Krila Bird finally stopped moving completely.
“Success!
We did it, hahahaha.”
Ibia laughed.
Safi was also very happy: “When we drag this bird back, the adults will definitely be shocked.”
“Hey, don’t forget about me.” Rune, who was lying on the ground, said.
“This time, thanks to Esdeath.
Esdeath, your marksmanship is truly amazing.”
Esdeath smiled at the compliment and said: “Of course, I am very strong.”
“Killed the Level 2 Danger Beast Krila Bird, rewarded with fifty villain points.”
Esdeath was both surprised and happy in her heart.
She didn’t expect that hunting a Level 2 Danger Beast would add so many villain points.
