Chapter 101: Chapter 83: Taking the Initiative, Harvest and Major Crisis

When Lin Feng and the two others hurried back to the camp, another hour had passed, and it was the early morning of the fourth day of day and night.

At this moment, Ah Lian and Ah Ming, the two women, had already adapted to their bodies as Evolvers, and successfully broke through to Level 11 by consuming Level 11 horse meat.

They are currently eating Level 13 horse meat, intending to push through and complete the evolution accumulation of Early Tier One.

Liu Qian is still resting, during which she had a drink of water and ate some Level 10 horse meat, gradually recovering.

Over on Ding Yi’s side, with the help of Liu Mingfei, they successfully welded and made two glass boxes, dug some soil, placed the collected poisonous grass and insects inside, and used horse blood and manure to enrich it, providing nutrition.

Lin Feng gathered everyone and explained the current urgent situation, needing immediate action.

By the time Ah Lian and Ah Ming evolve to Level 13, most of the Rock-Horned Horse Herd might have disappeared across the vast wilderness.

“With our current strength, killing an Early Tier One Rock-Horned Horse is not a problem, and even a Mid-Tier One male leader can be easily dealt with.”

“I plan to hunt three more Tier One Rock-Horned Horses, first filling up the remaining space and load of the battle car, then later consider capturing a male living horse if there is time.”

This way, regardless of the success of the live capture action, the team will at least have a baseline of five thousand points, enough to cover the expense of purchasing supplies upon return this time.

After all, the next action after the Holy Spring Day will be to head to the dangerous underground ruins, and the squad definitely needs to prepare and add a lot of equipment.

As for the plan to capture and tame live horses, it can be postponed for later. After all, with so many Rock-Horned Horse Herds, it is not too late to capture them at the gathering place of the next water source.

Ah Lian and Ah Ming both nodded:

“No problem, let’s get our prey first, we can continue to eat meat and evolve on the road.”

Lin Feng acknowledged, then arranged for Liu Mingfei to start the vehicle towards the river bank where everyone had previously hunted the horse herd.

The upgraded Level 14 Rock Horse Battle Car was powerful, and with Liu Mingfei stepping on the gas, they zigzagged through the city ruins and arrived at the right rear of the Bay Rift Valley in less than half an hour.

The nearby coastal cliff had a drop of only three to four hundred meters, but for the well-fed Rock-Horned Horses, climbing up was still quite stressful.

Therefore, the horse herd would still take the longer and less steep cracked riverbed.

This was also the basis of Old Duncan’s previous hunting strategy.

But now standing on the river bank, looking at the ferocious Rock-Horned Horse Herd, Lin Feng and his group instead felt a bit apprehensive.

Because it seemed they couldn’t continue to enter the dry riverbed and drive the Rock-Horned Horse Herd to the bank’s slope.

Going down now would mean being instantly drowned in the trampling iron hoof flood, knocked down, and trampled to death by the Rock-Horned Horse Herd.

“Herbivores under attack by predators often gather in groups to confuse and deter enemies, thus successfully avoiding predation.”

“Like herds of buffalo or zebras on land, schools of sardines in the sea, and flocks of pigeons in the sky…”

Ding Yi observed this scene and slowly explained.

The team members all looked serious.

Especially upon seeing, within the migrating horse herd at their feet, leader-level Rock-Horned Horses occasionally appearing, guarding their groups, safely leaving the rift and river channel…

This made everyone’s expressions and moods even heavier.

Only Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He directly pulled out the Level 14 Machine Gun from his waist and spoke to his teammates on both sides:

“In that case, we can only create a bigger chaos and find opportunities within it.”

Chen Shanshan turned around, somewhat worried:

“Didn’t Old Duncan say that once the migration of the horse herd is disturbed, the male Rock-Horned Horses might even take the initiative to attack.”

“What if we anger a leader-level Rock-Horned Horse…”

“With our current strength, we can’t handle a Late Tier One evolved male Rock-Horned Horse, and it would bring along other mid-tier male leaders in an attack.”

Lin Feng nodded, naturally aware of this.

But someone had to break the stalemate now, or the entire herd would run away, leaving only scraps.

And he just happened to have the ability to break the situation, certainly not letting such an excellent opportunity slip away.

So Lin Feng retracted his gaze and looked at his teammates:

“In a moment, I will explore the river channel a kilometer away and ambush a Tier One Rock-Horned Horse. With this optimized revolver, it’s enough to severely injure an Early Tier One Rock-Horned Horse with one shot.”

“By then, multiple Tier One Rock-Horned Horses will fall, and the entire migrating beast herd will be in chaos.”

“If a leader-level Rock-Horned Horse comes after me, you take the opportunity to capture the severely injured Tier One Rock-Horned Horses.”

“In short, don’t worry about me first. With my current mid-tier speed, these bulky leader levels can’t catch up with me in the city ruins.”

“And I can even turn back to fight.”

“If we’re lucky enough to hunt a leader-level Rock-Horned Horse, it would be an enormous gain, as a live Early Tier One male horse is nothing compared to it.”

After speaking, Lin Feng promptly assigned specific action tasks to everyone.

The next leader was Chen Shanshan, who directed everyone’s actions. She and Liu Mingfei were the strongest, and when the beast herd scattered in panic, they were responsible for finishing off and recovering the Tier One Rock-Horned Horse heavily injured by Lin Feng’s gunfire.

Ah Lian and her sister followed closely to assist, keeping watch and observing, always alert for any attacks from male leaders.

Once at least three were caught, they would quickly bring the Rock-Horned Horse corpses back to the riverside camp.

By then, if Lin Feng still hadn’t shaken off the pursuit of the Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse, Liu Mingfei would drive over to provide support.

This plan essentially had Lin Feng taking the lead, responsible for both the offensive hunting and distracting fire so that others could seize the capture and harvest opportunity.

In truth, Lin Feng wasn’t entirely selfless, but the Level 14 Machine Cannon as a Marked Weapon could only be properly used by him.

Thus, he had no choice but to resort to this strategy.

However, Lin Feng was very eager to kill the Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse; if successful, it meant that in just four days, he would have grown from a Level 9 Enhanced Person to a Tier One Late Stage Evolver.

The speed of his strength development was comparable to riding a rocket!

Seeing everyone as worried as Chen Shanshan, Lin Feng patted the young girl’s head and comforted her:

“Right now, I’m at the Tier One Mid-Stage Evolution level, with a burst speed of forty meters per second, equivalent to 140 kilometers per hour,”

“Don’t worry, the Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse definitely can’t catch up, and in the city ruins, human’s smaller size gives us the advantage and more flexibility.”

After speaking, Lin Feng grabbed a backpack filled with water bottles and Level 14 Evolutionary Meat Paste, and announced:

“There’s no time to lose, let’s begin the operation!”

With that, he ran alone to a river channel a kilometer away.

Upon reaching the designated location, he immediately began searching for targets, waiting for the optimal moment.

Lin Feng needed to find the moment when Tier One Rock-Horned Horses in the herd appeared in the greatest numbers to launch an attack.

The Level 14 Machine Cannon Gun in his hand had the rapid-fire button activated, capable of six rounds per second fire rate, providing fire coverage on target.

With two hundred rounds of ammunition, 105 points of damage, and a ten-meter impact range, Lin Feng could seriously wound more than ten Rock-Horned Horses in three seconds.

At this moment, he hid behind a large rock on the riverbank, rested the Machine Cannon Gun on it, and gripped the gun stock with both hands to ensure shooting stability.

The continuous six-round fire coverage was powerful, but the recoil was also significant, even for a Tier One Mid-Stage Evolver like Lin Feng, he needed to handle it cautiously.

As the migrating Rock-Horned Horse herd swept like a tide, advancing deep into the Wilderness along the river channel…

Ten minutes later, two Tier One Mid-Stage Male Leaders appeared, leading their groups with five Tier One Early Stage Female Rock-Horned Horses, alongside three Tier One Early Stage Male Rock-Horned Horses, trailing along the riverbank edge.

Together, ten Tier One Rock-Horned Horses walked past Lin Feng.

The patient hunter finally revealed his fangs at this moment.

Lin Feng decisively locked onto the two Tier One Mid-Stage Male Leaders, as they had the Evolutionary Source Material he required, and their Level 13 Horse Meat was the most valuable among the horse corpses.

After locking on, the revolver’s trigger was immediately pulled!

In an instant, six shells in the drum were unleashed in just one second!

Having no time to adjust the gun’s aim, Lin Feng missed one shot between the two male leaders.

Fortunately, one of them was hit by three shots, and the other by two, all on the largest side area, causing them to immediately suffer a gut-wrenching destruction, spilling their entrails on the ground.

With such severe injuries, survival was impossible.

The gunfire and cannon roars had begun, but Lin Feng had no intention to stop. He immediately adjusted his aim towards the remaining Tier One Early Stage Rock-Horned Horses.

Regardless of male or female, each was taken down with a single shot.

Lin Feng was worried that firing more would cause their bodies to explode, affecting the extraction of Evolutionary Source Material.

At this moment, the shockwaves from the shell explosions had frightened the herd into scattering.

The sight of their kind’s flesh and blood flying caused a large number of Rock-Horned Horses in the rear to retreat back into the Rift Valley behind them.

Only a few Tier One Rock-Horned Horses hit by stray fragments remained, wailing with injuries, some with broken legs or dead.

At this moment, the battle plan was an overwhelming success.

Just as Lin Feng, filled with joy, stood up, preparing to take a few more shots at the Rock-Horned Horses fleeing far along the river…

A deep, powerful roar emerged from the retreating Beast Tide within the Rift Valley behind the river.

Only to see a super-sized giant Rock-Horned Horse far exceeding the Leader Level squeeze out from the five-meter-wide rift gorge…

Its bowl-sized eyes stared fixedly ahead,

charging directly towards Lin Feng on the riverbank a kilometer away!
