Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Meow!"

An angry cry rang out; this was the first time Xiang Bei had ever heard anger in a sheep's bleating.

Of course, Xiang Bei obviously couldn't care less about these things at the moment, as the four-horned ibex's agility far exceeded Xiang Bei's.

In addition, there were four massive black spiral horns, thicker than his waist.

This completely thwarted Xiang Bei's plan to bypass the opponent's ram's horns and attack its abdomen.

If he's not careful, his halberd might collide with the horns of the four-horned ibex, and his arm would go numb from the impact.

After several exchanges, Xiang Bei gradually began to feel the strain.

After all, Xiang Bei was only a newcomer who had recently reached the level of advanced warrior. It was too far-fetched for him to face a four-horned rock sheep at the level of a junior beast general head-on.

"despair!"

With another collision, this time Xiang Bei's halberd was thrown high into the air, and his feet were knocked off the ground and flew backward by the enormous force.

"not good!"

Xiang Bei was greatly alarmed. He knew that it was a major taboo for both feet to leave the ground during battle, which meant that Xiang Bei would have no more places to use for leverage.

If the enemy launches another attack, he will have nowhere to hide and no foothold for defense.

The four-horned ibex certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass by.

The four ram horns were like four black spears, and they stabbed directly at Xiang Bei's body before he even landed!

"hide!"

Xiang Bei's pupils contracted rapidly. He knew very well that if he were hit hard, even with his high-quality combat suit, the impact of the four-horned ibex would be enough to severely injure him!

Crisis

Xiang Bei's mind raced, and then he swiftly turned around in mid-air, thrusting his halberd fiercely towards the head of the four-horned ram.

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the tip of Xiang Bei's halberd collided with the head of the four-horned ibex!

It didn't cause much damage to the four-horned ibex. Instead, the impact of the ibex caused Xiang Bei's battle halberd to bend slightly and rebound, which pushed Xiang Bei and the halberd backward again!

"Tap tap!"

He stomped on the solid object, which was the trunk of a large tree. Under the impact of Xiang Bei's feet, the bark and trunk cracked open.

However, Xiang Bei had no chance to look. The moment his feet touched the tree trunk, the four-horned ibex had already rushed up to him.

In an instant, Xiang Bei bent his legs and pushed off with his feet. Then, like a spring, he sprang to the ground to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack of the four ram horns.

"Bang!"

After the loud crash, the large tree that Xiang Bei had used as leverage was smashed to pieces by the four-horned rock sheep.

However, this was not the end. Before Xiang Bei could even get up, the four-horned ibex had already adjusted its fighting direction, and its two hind hooves suddenly lifted up and kicked at Xiang Bei!

"What the hell! When did sheep learn to kick?! Are you sure you're not a donkey?!"

Xiang Bei thought to himself, but his body betrayed him. He bent over, twisted his body, and launched himself close to the ground!

After narrowly avoiding the attack of the four-horned ibex once again, Xiang Bei was now covered in a cold sweat!

"That was close!"

"good!"

Unlike Xiang Bei, who had just narrowly escaped death and whose heart was about to burst from the pressure, Xiang Dong was full of excitement. Xiang Bei's several skillful dodges were very impressive to Xiang Dong, showing signs of mastering the art of subtle movements. With a little more practice, he should be able to master the art of subtle movements.

Of course, Xiang Dong, Xiang Nan, and the others held their halberds tightly in their hands the whole time.

The moment Xiang Bei showed any sign of being unable to dodge, the battle halberd would be launched directly and make close contact with the big head of the four-horned rock sheep!

"Let's make a move. The difference in strength between Xiao Bei and the Four-Horned Rock Sheep is too great. If we continue fighting, Xiao Bei might be in danger!" Xiang Nan frowned slightly. He had almost lost control of his temper just now.

"superior!"

With a loud shout from Xiang Dong, Xiang Dong, Xiang Nan, and Zhang Dong attacked simultaneously, their three halberds smashing down on the four-horned rock sheep.

Zhang Dong, the eldest of the three, is usually quiet, but he has the most combat experience among them. His slightly dark skin, combined with his black combat uniform, makes him look particularly cold and aloof.

Unlike Xiang Dong and Xiang Nan, who aimed at the body of the four-horned ibex, Zhang Dong went straight for its forelimbs.

As soon as the three of them made their move, the difference in strength between Xiang Bei and the others became apparent.

In just a few moves, Zhang Dong disrupted the rhythm of the four-horned rock sheep's footwork!

Instantly, Xiang Dong and Xiang Nan made several cuts on the body of the four-horned rock sheep.

"Meow!"

By this time, the four-horned ibex was already panicked; these three people had cast a shadow of death over it.

They are far beyond what previous humans could compare to!

However, as the four-horned ibex panicked, Zhang Dong swiftly struck, his crescent blade severing one of the ibex's forelegs!

"Pfft!" "Splat!"

Two long halberds pierced the necks of the four-horned ibex one after the other.

Then Xiang Dong and Xiang Nan exerted their strength simultaneously, directly pinning the four-horned rock sheep to the ground.

The four-horned ibex tried to fight back, but its neck had been pierced and its front hooves severed, leaving it powerless to resist.

After struggling for a moment, it breathed its last in despair.

With the combined efforts of the three, the four-horned ibex died quickly.

It's a bit of a pity compared to Xiang Bei.

It's not because of anything else, but mainly because the cooldown time for "Giant Devour" is still more than two hours.

Otherwise, if Xiang Bei takes advantage of the Beast General-level monster's severe injuries to strike it, it could significantly increase Xiang Bei's maximum health.

But never mind, there are still many different kinds of monsters in the town. If one Four-Horned Rock Sheep dies, we can just use the lives of other high-level beast soldiers to make up for it.

After eliminating the four-horned rock sheep, Xiang Bei and his group found a high spot to use as a temporary base.

After leaving Ms. Li Xiaohan and Ms. Li Xiaoxue to act as guards and observers.

The remaining people also began to split into groups.

Xiang Bei needs to find more high-level beast soldiers as trial opponents to hone his combat abilities.

The two guards naturally stayed by Xiang Bei's side at all times to ensure his safety.

The remaining team members also began to search for beast-general-level monsters in the town in pairs to ensure that no beast-general would suddenly appear and attack Xiang Bei!

Of course, you can also earn some extra money on the side!

After all, a Beast General-level monster can easily sell for tens of millions.

For example, the horns of those two pairs of four-horned ibex can sell for around 15 million in the HR Alliance.

This is not a small amount for them either!

"Little Bei, there's a pack of Mastiffs in the supermarket ruins to the northeast that you can try to kill, but be careful! There's also a two-tailed leopard cat, a high-level beast soldier, in the hotel not far behind those ruins. Watch out for a sneak attack!"

A woman's voice, tinged with a languid allure, came through the earphones.

"Okay, Hanhan! You guys be careful too!"
