372: Target, one-horned rhino!

Boom!

In the dense jungle, a nimble figure leaped out, smashing a striped tiger's head with a heavy punch.

With a bang!

The truck-sized tiger crashed to the ground, making the earth rumble, and a thick smell of blood rapidly spread in all directions.

Instantly, it caused a considerable commotion in the surrounding forest.

"Phew!"

"Wind Tiger King, done!"

Wang Chen exhaled a turbid breath, his gaze sweeping like a knife over the dense forest around him, and the terrifying killing intent that had not yet subsided from his body immediately quelled the surrounding commotion.

Rumble...

At this moment, countless wild monsters who smelled blood and wanted to join the fun fled in disarray.

"Hehe!"

Perceiving the movement in the distance, Wang Chen's mouth curled up in disdain, and he lowered his head to begin processing the Wind Tiger King's corpse.

"Now I only need one water-elemental Magic Crystal to complete the Rank 4 transfer mission."

Soon, he retrieved a crystal emitting a light green glow from the Wind Tiger King's corpse.

It was now Wang Chen's second day in the Emerald Forest, and after continuous hunting, he had already gathered four of the five Materials required for the Rank 4 transfer mission.

Now, only the last water-elemental Magic Crystal remained to complete the mission and successfully transfer.

"There are two types of water-attribute wild monsters in the Emerald Forest: the gregarious Rank 125 One-Horned Rhinoceros and the solitary Rank 110 Winged Water Snake."

After briefly processing the Materials from the Wind Tiger King, Wang Chen continued on his way.

His next target was the One-Horned Rhinoceros.

These guys are gregarious, large targets, and relatively easy to find.

Winged Water Snakes move alone; although their strength is weaker than that of One-Horned Rhinoceros, they have no fixed activity areas, making them too troublesome to find.

During the past two days of searching for mission Materials, most of the wild monsters encountered had fallen victim to Wang Chen's hands.

The abundant experience made him eager to transfer his Rank.

Any more dawdling would be a complete waste of time!

"The activity areas of the One-Horned Rhinoceros are basically next to the Wuding River deep in the Emerald Forest."

"It's perfect; after exercising, I can also wash myself!"

"The smell of blood these past two days has almost marinated me!"

...

...

Splash! Splash!!

Deep in the Emerald Forest, a river twenty meters wide meandered.

Wuding River.

A wonder in the Emerald Forest.

It was formed by geological changes, with underground dark rivers gushing out, dividing the entire depths of the Emerald Forest into two, and then re-entering the underground to merge with the dark river at the edges.

Its river water is crystal clear, and the water quality is pure and sweet, attracting a large number of wild monsters to gather.

Among these wild monsters, the strongest belongs to the One-Horned Rhinoceros clan.

The challenge Rank of these guys is as high as Rank 125, and a single clan has at least ten members.

Their numbers plus their formidable strength mean that even the Rank 130 wild monster overlords in the Emerald Forest dare not easily provoke them.

However, this is only for wild monsters; for Awakeners, One-Horned Rhinoceros are walking Treasure Troves.

Their sharp jade-like horns are not only the main Material for making mental recovery potions but are also extremely precious collectibles on the market, sought after by countless people.

Their tough and strong rhinoceros sinews are excellent Materials for making gold-grade bow and arrow weapons.

Moreover, One-Horned Rhinoceros meat is delicious, and the energy it contains is extremely gentle.

Although they are only Rank 125, long-term consumption has a better effect on strengthening the body than the edible wild monster flesh of Rank 140 or 150.

Due to their high cost-effectiveness, One-Horned Rhinoceros meat is in short supply in the market.

It is only because S-Rank wild monster gathering areas like the Emerald Forest do not allow Awakeners above 5th Rank to enter, otherwise the One-Horned Rhinoceros here would have been hunted to extinction long ago.

On this day, the sky was dimly lit.

A team of well-equipped Awakeners arrived by the Wuding River and quietly ambushed themselves in a dense patch of grass.

"Further ahead is the One-Horned Rhinoceros's territory; let's rest for a while and recover our stamina."

A burly man with a bushy beard in the team looked at the movements ahead, then turned to instruct his companions.

This burly man was named Wang Shouyi, a Rank 130 Rank 4 Hunter, renowned as a rhinoceros hunter around the Emerald Forest.

Every time he led a team into the Emerald Forest, he would harvest one or several One-Horned Rhinoceros.

"Captain Wang, is there anything I need to pay attention to when we encounter One-Horned Rhinoceros next?"

During the break, a young man in the team looked at Wang Shouyi with some trepidation.

Hearing his words, Wang Shouyi frowned slightly.

This person was not a fixed member of their Rhino Hunting Squad but a tourist who joined at the entrance, wanting to come along and gain experience.

Originally, Wang Shouyi refused.

After all, hunting One-Horned Rhinoceros is a very dangerous task; these guys are at least ten meters long and weigh several tons.

When they go berserk, even he, a Rank 130 Hunter, would not dare to face their charge directly; he would have to subdue them by cooperating with his teammates.

Wang Shouyi was extremely distrustful and unwilling to have such temporary additions.

However...

He couldn't resist the fact that the other party offered too much!

A reward of 100,000 Low Grade holy crystal stones was equivalent to two or three of their trips into the Emerald Forest.

So at this moment, even though he felt this young man was too much trouble, Wang Shouyi patiently explained to him:

"Based on my many years of observation, One-Horned Rhinoceros herds have a decent level of organization; each clan will have a leader."

"In combat, the first thing we need to do is injure this leader to make it flee in fear."

"As soon as it runs, the remaining One-Horned Rhinoceros will lose their fighting spirit, and we only need to surround one to basically succeed in hunting it."

"Mr. Yang, you can just stay here and observe; the money you spent will definitely be worth it."

Hearing Wang Shouyi's words, the young man named Yang nodded.

"Don't worry, Captain Wang, I know what's important and won't cause you any trouble."

His words made Wang Shouyi's brow relax.

This client was sensible, much better than those clueless guys.

Thump thump thump!!

The ground trembled slightly as eleven One-Horned Rhinoceros came to the river to drink water.

"Holy cow!"

However, at this moment, the young man named Yang suddenly exclaimed, staring dumbfounded into the distance.

"Making a fuss over nothing!"

Seeing this, the good impression that had just arisen in Wang Shouyi's heart instantly vanished, and at the same time, he became tense.

The One-Horned Rhinoceros had not yet entered their attack range; if making a commotion startled them, their trip would be in vain.

"Everyone, stay alert; if the One-Horned Rhinoceros try to run, the second one will use Earth Wall to trap them first."

After gesturing to his companions, Wang Shouyi turned to look at the river, but after that glance, his face showed the same expression as the young man's.
