036- Watching while Squatting

Starting off once more, their traveling speed had vastly slowed down, and the atmosphere in the small team had turned more anxious.

Yi Jiao told Lu Mingshu, "The deeper we go, the more dangerous it'll be. We might not have met a lot of Harmonization Realm ferocious beasts before, but from this area onwards, we will frequently spot some Harmonization Realm ferocious beasts. The two of you must be careful and look out for each other."

For Lu Mingshu and Gao Xiang who were out for hunting for the first time, their main task was to learn. Hence, no one expected them to be able to come in handy. It would be sufficient if they did not drag the team down, like Le Xiaoyi for example.

With a whistle sounding in front and a lift of Wei Peng's hand, the team ceased their movements.

Bird chirping sounded with a rhythm, making feelings of excitement and nervousness arise in the team members that could understand the meaning of the chirping.

This chirping was a signal from the whistle upfront that they had discovered two large Harmonization Realm ferocious beasts.

Though Yi Jiao had caught a Harmonization Realm White Hoof Rhinoceros previously, it could only be counted as a small fry.

"Continue!" With a command from Wei Peng, the team proceeded deeper in.

As the battle upfront had started, the beastly roar gradually got louder.

With a wave of Wei Peng's hand, the team dispersed into a fan-shaped formation and started their advancement; Lu Mingshu, Gao Xiang, and Shao Zhengyang were placed in the last squadron.

"It's two Flying Tusk Elephants!" A squadron member called out excitedly.

The Flying Tusk Elephant was a type of giant demonic beast that was as light as foam and had tusks as hard as mystic steel that was exceptionally suitable for manufacturing weapons or grinding into pieces to make armor. Just a single piece of complete ivory from the Harmonization Realm could fetch a market price of over ten thousand gold.

If they were to capture these two flying elephants successfully, their trip wouldn't be a fruitless one even if they did not have any other harvest.

Three days later, the team had familiarised themselves with the initial formation, so much so that they could remain in position even without Wei Peng's instructions.

"A bull and a cow." Zhu Jingliang furrowed his brows. "Is there any herd of elephants nearby?"

The frontline team member replied, "None. These two should be rogues."

A heaven-sent opportunity! One of the reasons why elephant tusks were valuable was because they traveled in herds and thus, were hard to hunt.

"That's feasible." Wei Peng said, "Form groups of three with one in reserve, advance!"

Originally consisting of eleven people, after sending Le Xiaoyi back, the team only had ten members left. Minus the three in the Inner Breath Realm, there would be seven left. Wei Peng wanted them to form two groups of three in order to pull the two elephants apart.

The six rushed up.

"Come over." Shao Zhengyang called the two young ones over to hide behind a tree.

Gao Xiang could not help but ask, "Senior Brother Shao, do we have to merely dodge? Won't we become freeloaders this way?" Nine Jade Palace's small hunting team had always distributed their hunting harvest. They would even take care of the newbies and give some to them for good luck.
