Chapter 88: Chapter 73: Hunting the Entire Rock-Horned Horse Herd!

Not long after the Duncan Squad left, confirming the silhouette of their electric car disappearing dozens of kilometers away, Lin Feng put down the binoculars and ordered to move out.

Due to the lack of preparation of iron cages and the team’s inadequate encirclement skills, Lin Feng simply abandoned the task of capturing a Tier One Male Rock-Horned Horse alive.

Rather than dealing with those hot-tempered bachelors, it was better to hunt an entire Rock-Horned Horse herd directly.

To kill all Tier One Rock-Horned Horses, capturing the adult Late-stage ones alive if possible, otherwise drying and storing them, capturing Mid-stage Youth Rock-Horned Horses and Early-stage Foals alive ideally since their size was small, easy to control, and their meat had little value.

On the way to the rift valley exit, Lin Feng conveyed the plan to his team in the car.

For Lin Feng’s cautious and reasonable arrangement, everyone naturally gave their full approval.

After all, catching living horses was not only extremely dangerous for them but also posed risks of severe injury or even death.

Whereas directly hunting Tier One Rock-Horned Horses, they only needed to do logistical support work and could smoothly follow Lin Feng to achieve a tier jump evolution.

With the power of the explosive gun in Lin Feng’s hands, there was no longer any pressure to kill Tier One Early Rock-Horned Horses.

So for the current Lin Feng Squad, the migrating beast herd was like a moving treasure trove of points.

Lin Feng even felt that in his view, every Rock-Horned Horse had a point value jumping out of it.

Three to four hundred points for Mid-and Early Rock-Horned Horses, four to five hundred points for Late Rock-Horned Horses, and one thousand points for Tier One Rock-Horned Horses.

If it weren’t for the loading surplus of the light bus, with a maximum of only five tons, Lin Feng would have even considered following the migrating beast herd and gradually capturing them all.

Directly accumulating tens of thousands of points!

By then, not to mention the qualifications of the Oasis Upper Class, even the Li Family of Nongzhuang Village would have to treat him like an ancestor.

Of course, you have to eat your meal bite by bite,

and the road has to be walked step by step.

If you take too big a step, it’s easy to hurt yourself.

Lin Feng’s plan was to first take down more than half of the Rock-Horned Horse herd, evolve himself to Level 13, and then, before leaving, challenge himself to see if he could kill a Mid-stage Rock-Horned Horse.

So he could evolve to Mid-Tier One in one go.

Then he would have sufficient strength to deal with the threats from Nongzhuang Village and the old Evolvers, and in the next action, he would be more confident in completing the ruins task entrusted by Father Su An.

While Lin Feng was planning future arrangements, Liu Mingfei drove the electric car through the city ruins, winding around for over thirty kilometers.

Finally arriving on the inner land opposite the Bay Rift Valley.

Also, the estuary river channel chosen during the first capture operation of everyone previously.

After the Rock-Horned Horse herd fled back then, a new batch of Rock-Horned Horses appeared in the city ruins on both sides of the river channel, searching for fresh wild grass.

Through the binoculars, Lin Feng saw many foals following beside the Tier One Female Rock-Horned Horses, digging into the crevices among the ruins, searching for wild grass.

The number of this Rock-Horned Horse herd was not large, with only sixteen or seventeen adult Rock-Horned Horses in total, of which besides the leader, there were only two Tier One Females, with the rest being about ten young foals.

All in all, the scale was very small, fitting for the inexperienced Lin Feng Squad to practice in their first solo action.

After the electric car docked on the riverbank, the group began discussing and assigning specific action tasks.

Liu Mingfei, Liu Qian, and Ah Lian, who had participated in the last action, continued to participate this time.

Due to a lack of personnel, besides Ding Yi, Ah Ming also had to participate.

Responsible for following Ah Lian to intercept the Rock-Horned Horse herd, forcing them to flee towards the riverbanks.

The interception squad was led by Liu Mingfei, totaling four people including Liu Qian.

The pursuit and capture task was taken on by Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan.

The two had the strongest capabilities, one focusing on melee and the other on ranged attacks, a perfect combination.

Chen Shanshan, donned in battle armor, could even engage in close combat with a Tier One Early Female Rock-Horned Horse.

Though the chances of such scenarios were very low, her primary duty was to protect Lin Feng.

As for Ding Yi, she stayed in the car to guard the base while providing an overall view, ready to create a disturbance to alert the teammates in the river channel if potential dangers approached.

After clarifying the actions and tasks of each team member, Lin Feng also handed Chen Shanshan’s shotgun over to Liu Mingfei.

Relying on the shotgun’s power and the loud gunshot sound to compensate for the insufficient intimidation effect caused by the shortage of personnel.

After explaining everything, they began the early-stage deployment preparations.

Liu Mingfei and the other three took a detour to advance into the depths of the river channel, hiding behind rocks.

Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan, cautiously approached the target beast herd.

Now that they were all Evolvers, they had ample physical strength to pursue the Rock-Horned Horse herd.

Chen Shanshan, for ease of movement, only wore the upper half of her battle armor, lightening her load considerably, making her legs more flexible, and enabling her to easily catch up with the satiated and plump Rock-Horned Horse herd.

More than half an hour later…

As Lin Feng saw through his binoculars, the reflective signal from Liu Mingfei’s squad a kilometer away indicating they were in position,

The squad’s first hunting action officially commenced!

Lin Feng was the first to charge out, with Chen Shanshan following closely behind.

His Level 10 Bomb Gun in hand was already locked onto a Tier One Female Rock-Horned Horse within the herd.

Aiming at its hind legs, he pulled the trigger.

The gunshot and the explosion sound from the blast bullet echoed across the ruins, startling the Rock-Horned Horse herd into a shudder, with tightened nerves and muscles, they followed the herd leader escaping the ruins.

The ruined city, with many deep pit traps, easily trapped hooves, causing the Rock-Horned Horse herd to instinctively run towards the flatter valley floors upon being frightened.

That is into the dry river channel of the inland area.

And the Bay Rift’s estuary rivers were the main routes for the herd to continue migrating forward.

However, what the Rock-Horned Horse herd didn’t expect was that hunters had already ambushed their inevitable path, quietly awaiting the prey to come their way.

Liu Mingfei, facing the galloping herd.

Nervously calculating the distance remaining from the herd leader to himself.

Five hundred, three hundred, two hundred, one hundred fifty meters!

At the last one hundred plus meters, he leapt onto the boulder, shotgun aimed at the herd leader.

Switching to a multi-pellet shell, instantly spraying over ten small lead pellets, hitting the herd leader.

Though the damage was low, even unable to pierce its facial armor due to long-distance speed and damage reduction.

The pain upon being hit was distinctly real.

Coupled with the shock of the shotgun blast, it frightened the herd leader into quickly changing direction, rushing to the other side.

The shotgun blast also signaled the rest of the nearby interception squad to act.

Liu Qian, Ah Lian, and Ah Ming jumped up successively, standing atop the boulders, waving their cold weapons, roaring to create various noises.

The herd leader, realizing it encountered an ambush, immediately fled towards the riverbank, attempting to lead the herd back into the ruins.

And this was precisely in line with Lin Feng Squad’s plan.

With their bellies full of water, the herd’s climbing speed would slow significantly.

Following closely behind in pursuit, Lin Feng raised his Level 10 Bomb Gun, directly entering a close-range shooting mode.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Aimed at the Tier One Rock-Horned Horse within the herd and the remaining dozen adult Rock-Horned Horses, a series of rapid shots.

Meanwhile, Chen Shanshan, holding a snare, began capturing the foals lagging at the rear.

At this time, Liu Mingfei and the others caught up, coordinating with Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan to surround the bewildered foals on the river channel slope.

Preparing to capture them all!

As one after another Late-stage Rock-Horned Horses fell, and one foal after another struggling to stand was captured alive by the team members…

The joy of the harvest filled every excited heart, with trembling hands, and smiling faces.

But just then, the herd leader, having climbed the riverbank, saw its two Tier One Females both collapsed unable to follow due to leg injuries from the gunshots…

After hesitating for a moment, the herd leader surprisingly chose to return downhill to be beside its mate!

Lin Feng squinted his eyes in vigilance,

calling Chen Shanshan for battle readiness!
