Following Zhao Yu’s reminder, the rest of them stopped and hide themselves in some bush, their eyes warily scanning the forest.
Soon, some of them stood up with a puzzled expression.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, showing no signs of any monsters or any movement at all.
Cai Shu Ying glanced at Zhao Yu and wondering if he was deliberately saying this.
Zhao Yu was currently investigating at the image inserted into his mind.
It was a monster with a bull’s head and an ape’s body, standing upright and holding a polished stone axe.
Could it be the intelligent life of this world similar to them?!
The ability to use tools indicated intelligence.
Should he try to communicate with them?!
Zhao Yu did not initiate an ambush attack, but instead quietly waiting for the group of Minotaur to come over.
Because the number of Minotaur was not many, only five and they were not too large in size, appearing to be of average strength.
“Duh—!”
Just when everyone was getting impatient and wanting to get up as thinking that Zhao Yu might have heard wrong, a footstep sound finally came from afar.
They really came!
How much time had pa.s.sed? Was Zhao Yu’s hearing that strong?!
Everyone became tense, holding their weapons and looking towards the source of the sound.
“Moo~!”
From a distance, the five Minotaurs finally smelled their scent and let out a long howl, running towards them.
The others were startled and were about to take action, but Zhao Yu stopped them.
“Don’t act rashly, let me try ti communicate with them!”
Zhao Yu raised his hand, waved at the Minotaur, and greeted them with a smile: “h.e.l.lo there!!”
The minotaur greeted him with a sharpened flying axe. Zhao Yu quickly dodged it.
Upon seeing Zhao Yu, the Minotaur did not hesitate at all and directly chose to attack him.
“We mean no harm…” Zhao Yu tried again.
Seeing another axe was flying to him again, he finally gave up.
With a swift movement, he caught the axe and immediately counterattacked, smashing down a Minotaur with a bone club.
“Bang ~!”
The leader of the Minotaur did not even have time to react and instantly became a corpse.
” Let’s fight and familiarize ourselves with this new monster!”
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he let his teammates finished the rest of them.
The five minotaur gave him the feeling that they were only slightly stronger than an ordinary Ape Claw Beasts. With the strength of the current student, it was enough to deal with them.
Everyone went forward to fight the four minotaur.
Zhao Yu checked up the stone axe that he held in his hand.
The axe’s tip indeed showed signs of being sharpened, especially the body of the axe, which was designed for handling, clearly not something a mindless monster could make.
He tested it by chopping it down at the bone club in his hand.
Instantly, a crack appeared in the hard bone club.
Looking at the axe again, there was only a small nick on the blade, obviously much stronger than the bone club.
It’s important to note that the bone he was using came from an elite Ape Claw Beast.
“Such great weapon!”
Zhao Yu nodded slightly, dropped the bone club and claw in his hand, and tucked the axe into his waist.
He picked up the coins dropped by the Minotaur, similar to those of the Ape Claw Beasts.
On one side of the coin was written ‘zero’, and on the other side was a portrait of a Minotaur.
Soon, the battle was over.
The remaining four Minotaurs, with the advantage of their axes, might have been able to take on seven or eight Ape Claw Beasts, but they were up against more than ten times the number of enhanced humans.
The others, now holding the axes, were also curious as to why these Minotaurs had stone axes.
“Wow, this axe is powerful!”
Someone repeated Zhao Yu’s earlier action, discovering that the stone axe was far sharper and harder than the bone club.
“Holy moly, let me try…”
“Let’s try it… hey hey, give me back my axe!”
With ten or so people and only four axes, there weren’t enough to go around, and they immediately started arguing.
Zhao Yu, feeling a headache, “Whoever killed them gets the axe. These kind of monster are probably not rare; we’ll have more chances to get them!”
Hearing his words, the group stopped arguing.
Those who got the axes were smug, while those who didn’t were eagerly rubbing their hands, clearly wanting to get their hands on such an axe.
While staring at the axe, Zhao Yu though if Deng Xue Ling and Liu Shu Hui would still be alive if he had such weapon last night to end the battle soon enough to save them.
“Sigh!”
The dead cannot be brought back to life; there are no what-ifs. Thinking further would not help much now.
“Let’s go!”
The group set off again.
Along the way, they encountered two more groups of Minotaur, not many in number, and just ordinary monsters, easily defeated. In the end, each person not only got an axe but there were three extra axes left.
Zhao Yu commended, “One person go back and check on the main team’s situation, and leave those three axes for the rear…”
“Okay, I’ll go back!” Qin Ming Yong volunteered.
Zhao Yu looked at him strangely; as a 23-time enhancer, this guy should have stay in the frontier.
Li Hong Wei quickly whispered beside him, “He used to be ordinary, not liked by many. Since he became an enhancer yesterday, his former crush suddenly started showing him a lot of attention…”
That explains it!
Zhao Yu nodded slightly and did not stop Qin Ming Yong from going back.
He felt the mission with Qin Ming Yong. With him as an good example, others might strive harder to become stronger.
After Qin Ming Yong left, Zhao Yu and the others continued along the trail left by Xiao Xiao Long..
