Chapter 80 Mount Selection, Crow Storm!
Looking at the ferocious horse lying dead on the ground, Fangzhou sighed with some regret.
Unfortunately, this creature, so suitable as a mount, is utterly irrational and impossible to tame.
In the Mythical Era, due to changes in the laws of physics, vehicles such as motorcycles, cars, and armored vehicles that humans originally used for transportation could no longer adapt well to the needs of the battlefield environment.
On the contrary, the somewhat primitive mounts of professionals are fully functional and shine brightly.
Fangzhou was actually quite envious of Meng Hongzhuang for having a giant bear that she could ride.
These traditional mages are not like Meng Hongzhuang, who has the unique advantage of being a [Nature Summoner], nor are they like the [Knight] class, who can contract mounts.
If you want to own your own mount, you either need to get a high-quality pet that you can ride, or you can only wait until you advance to Bronze and learn the Bronze-level general spell [Summon Mage Mount].
Both of these methods are far removed from the current state of the Ark. He shook his head, no longer thinking about these things, and directed the skeletons to begin dissecting the large, ferocious horse. This kind of ferocious horse is much rarer than ferocious beasts such as ferocious rats, ferocious rabbits, and ferocious wolves.
Its hide, hooves, and tail are all materials needed by military academies.
Fangzhou estimated that the materials from this horse were worth at least 3 contribution points.
A few minutes later, he washed the materials clean in the rain and put them into his backpack.
Fortunately, Ark had prepared a backpack with the largest capacity in advance, and its own physical attributes could withstand this weight, so it could temporarily hold these materials.
Thinking about this, he longed even more to have his own space to store his treasures.
After traveling for nearly two more hours, the heavy rain finally stopped.
The stifling air in the cave seemed to have become much fresher.
Fangzhou sat on a large rock, drinking water while looking at the rankings on the hunting recorder.
Before he knew it, he had risen to third place.
Currently, those ahead of Fangzhou in the queue are all his old acquaintances.
The first place goes to Meng Hongzhuang, the [Nature Summoner].
Second place, however, belonged to [Storm Mage] Gu Zhi Qiu.
However, once Ark finishes clearing the Goblin Cave, it should be able to overtake and take the top spot.
He checked the map and, based on his marching speed, it was still almost an hour's journey to the Goblin Cave.
Thanks to Fang Zhou's careful planning, he still had 70% of his mental energy remaining, which should be enough to clear the [Goblin Cave].
The battle.
After resting for a while, Ark, along with 15 skeletons in good condition, continued to explore the depths of the cave.
Half an hour later, in a jungle.
Hunting points +3.
"Soul Power +0.05".
Fangzhou killed a rotten wooden golem that tried to ambush him and was about to dissect its rotten wooden heart when the thermal imaging radar suddenly sounded an alarm again.
He quickly closed his eyes to sense the surroundings, then looked up at the sky.
In the distance, a swarm of black dots was approaching, seemingly targeting him.
"A ferocious crow?"
Fangzhou frowned and retreated behind the skeleton.
This is a ferocious beast that has been corrupted from crows. It feeds on carrion, and its claws and beak are highly venomous. It is a difficult monster to deal with and lives in groups.
Of course, their bodies are very fragile, their individual combat strength is very low, and their perception is not outstanding.
As long as you remove the smell of blood from your body when you spot them, you can fool their sense of smell and escape successfully. The reason this ferocious crow flock rushed straight for the Ark is probably because he had killed too many monsters along the way, and he and the skeleton were covered in too much blood, which attracted the attention of the crow flock.
But they're just a flock of crows; should I avoid them?
Fangzhou smiled and looked around.
He was in a jungle, the airspace occupied by messy tree branches, which was not conducive to the ferocious crows exerting their numerical advantage.
The Ark has the advantage of timing and location, so let's fight!
Outside the underground cave at this moment.
At the Haicheng Military Academy, many first-year students were watching the live broadcast of Ark's battle.
Following his perspective, the trainees naturally saw the ferocious flock of crows swooping down from mid-air.
They exclaimed in surprise, "That's a ferocious crow?"
There look like there are at least a hundred of them! We can't afford to mess with them! We can't afford to mess with them!
"What is Fang Zhou standing there for? These ferocious crows are clearly coming for him. He should either hide or run. Does he really intend to confront them head-on?"
Fangzhou's oval-faced fangirl retorted, "Why not?"
Don't forget, Ark has the [Bone Arrow Rain] area-of-effect attack skill.
Even the tough-skinned lesser demons could take down several of them in one move, let alone these fragile ferocious crows.
One knowledgeable student shook his head and replied, "The Ark is very powerful, but there are just too many of these ferocious crows."
He had already been hunting in the underground cave for most of the day, how much mental energy did he have left to unleash a few more [Bone Arrow Rain]?
Furthermore, such a large and ferocious flock of crows must be commanded by a mid-level apprentice leader; their fighting instincts are terrifying!
"Yes, the Ferocious Raven is also highly poisonous and poses a great threat to humans. Ark really made a mistake this time!"
Another student, eager for a good show, sarcastically remarked with a hint of sourness, "Hehe, will our potential number one seed be eliminated because of his arrogance?"
That would be hilarious if word got out!
Amidst the trainees' pessimistic comments, even the girl with the oval face started to panic.
She pressed her lips tightly together, barely daring to breathe as she watched the live broadcast of the battle on the Ark.
Inside the underground cave.
Soon, hundreds of ferocious crows blanketed the jungle like a black cloud.
Their beaks are sharp and hooked, their wings are jet black, and their eyes gleam with a bloodthirsty red light.
After circling in mid-air for a while, the flock of ferocious crows let out a piercing shriek and swooped down on the ark below.
Ark, on the other hand, was backed by a towering tree, with dense, decaying vines above it, and 15 skeletons surrounding him, ready to fight.
Faced with the surging, ferocious crows, Fang Zhou decisively brandished his staff and cast a spell directly at the densest part of the crow flock.
[Arrows of Bones]
In an instant, dozens of arrows made of bone fragments rained down from the sky, pelting the ferocious crows like a storm.
These arrows carried powerful necromantic energy, instantly knocking more than a dozen ferocious crows to the ground.
In an instant, feathers flew everywhere, and mournful cries filled the air.
However, this clearly provoked the ferocity of the ravenous flock.
Among the flock of crows, a ferocious crow, noticeably larger than its peers, screeched a few times.
The flock of crows scattered instantly, but their swooping speed increased even more.
Got you!
A glint flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes, and he immediately diverted a portion of his mental energy to lock onto the ferocious crow leader hiding among the flock.
Generally, any monster that lives in groups will have a leader.
For low-level monsters like the Ferocious Raven that rely on sheer numbers, eliminating their leader is equivalent to eliminating their brain, thus greatly reducing their threat.
