Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 17 Stone Dog Pack

Less than three hours later, a four-meter-tall brown-gray koala appeared in Luo Feng's field of vision. Its name translates to "bear," but it doesn't actually look like a bear at all.

Not only Luo Feng saw it, but Da Lang and the others exchanged glances, indicating that they had all seen it as well.

Luo Feng quietly descended from the tree to the ground.

As per their prior agreement, Luo Feng would fire the first arrow to ensure a ferocious attack.

Luo Feng cautiously approached along the low bushes, quickly closing the distance to within eighty meters. Finding a perfect angle, Luo Feng nocked an arrow and drew his bow, his two fingers touching the bowstring to prevent any sound from escaping.

"die!"

Luo Feng drew all his strength into this arrow.

An arrow transformed into a gray shadow, covering a distance of less than a hundred meters in an instant.

Before the koala could react, an arrow pierced its side and abdomen. The 1.2-meter-long arrow was almost halfway into the bear's body.

Before reaching the level of a Spirit-level Great Ferocious, its defensive capabilities are still considerably weaker.

"Agh!" A painful roar rang out, the sound carrying for several kilometers around.

At this moment, Big Wolf and Water Stone reacted quickly, grabbed their weapons, and charged at the Big Tree Bear.

When a koala is shot with an arrow, the paralyzing toxin inside will quickly spread, paralyzing most of its body in less than a minute, rendering it unable to escape.

Luo Feng also rushed forward, and to prevent any other accidents from happening around him, he fired a second arrow.

The giant koala was large and strong, but it was much slower than a human. In addition, the poison in the arrow caused it to burst out, and it was caught up by the five members of their group before it had even run a mile.

After a minute of struggle, Luo Feng's second arrow pierced its throat, quickly taking its life.

"Captain, you're amazing! Your archery skills are the best in our village."

The big wolf praised in a low voice.

The other three also gave a thumbs up.

Luo Feng approached the giant tree bear, pulled out two Heavenly Iron Arrows, and smiled: "The main reason is that this bow is powerful, and these Heavenly Iron Arrows are also powerful. Anyone below the Spirit level cannot stop this arrow within a hundred meters."

"Big Wolf, cut its throat and let the blood gush out," Luo Feng ordered.

The first prey is often one that can shake the bait, causing it to release its blood and energy. Before long, it can attract other prey.

With practiced skill, the wolf aimed at the koala's throat artery, and the koala's still-warm blood quickly seeped out, followed by a strong, pungent stench that spread to the surrounding area.

"Walk."

"Lie in ambush."

The five retreated in an orderly fashion, with Luo Feng remaining the closest. As a cultivator who had awakened his Qi sense, he could easily conceal his aura and was not easily detected.

At this distance, he can also shoot his prey more easily.

Three and a half hours later, the stench of blood permeated a large area, and the effects of the koala's earlier commotion gradually dissipated.

Hidden in a large tree, Fifty-one had sharp eyes. He looked at a spot and spotted the bushes swaying five hundred meters away... and then, figures with brown hair.

He quickly jumped down from the tree.

Beneath the large tree, the wolf lurked: "Scaled Fish, is there any movement?"

"A pack of stone dogs, I'd estimate at least ten." He gave a brief explanation, then quickly crawled along the ground towards Luo Feng's location.

The wolf, who remained at a distance, changed his expression drastically.

"More than ten stone dogs?" He had the koala as bait, so perhaps not all the stone dogs would pounce on them, but they would still be in some danger.

He then looked towards Luo Feng's location.

They were about eighty meters apart, and in a few breaths, the scaled fish reached them.

Luo Feng looked at the scaled fish and immediately knew that something was wrong. His tense expression revealed a sense of foreboding.

"Captain, a group of stone hounds is approaching, more than ten of them. I think we have to leave," Scaled Fish said nervously.

"Stone Dog, is it a Spirit-level Great Ferocious?" Luo Feng asked repeatedly.

"I didn't see it."

"That's not a big problem."

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "The stone hounds are indeed more defensive, but their necks are their weak points, so you should be able to shoot them down."

"Once we start, just follow my instructions. You can hunt them down."

"Prepare the arrows and draw the bow."

As Luo Feng spoke, he had already nocked an arrow on his bow.

The scaled fish hid beside Luo Feng, also preparing to draw its bow and arrow.

Big Wolf, Water Stone, and Forty-Two, who were behind them, roughly knew what their captain was thinking.

Quietly preparing, in less than thirty seconds—

rustle!

A sound came from the nearby bushes, and four-legged creatures, each the size of an ordinary tiger, appeared. Their bodies were covered with grayish-brown, stone-like objects, which were the stone dogs.

These dogs are ferocious, with the most sensitive noses. Upon smelling the blood, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they charged forward with madness.

Luo Feng and his group glanced at them briefly, and one by one, they appeared, bringing the total number to fourteen.

With their eyes bloodshot, their sense of smell was completely overwhelmed by the bloody stench of the giant tree bear, and they were completely unaware of the presence of Luo Feng and the others around them.

"Move!" Luo Feng shouted as the fourteen stone dogs fully appeared, addressing the scaled fish.

next moment.

Luo Feng's arrow flew from the bowstring, the long arrow turning into a phantom as it instantly struck the vulnerable spot on the neck of one of the stone dogs, piercing through it in one shot.

At the same time, the scaled fish also fired an arrow.

Compared to Luo Feng's arrow, the scaled fish's was much weaker, but it still pierced the neck of a stone dog.

"roar!"

At this moment, the pack of bloodthirsty stone dogs finally realized the presence of Luo Feng and his companions... When feeding, they hunt down any threats in their surroundings first; this is ingrained in their genes. They all looked in the direction of Luo Feng and his companion and immediately rushed over.

"You step back first," Luo Feng shouted.

Simultaneously.

"Big Wolf, you guys, protect the scaled fish and hunt it down!" Luo Feng gave another order.

He stood at the forefront, took out a second iron arrow from his quiver, nocked it, aimed at a stone hound, calculated its speed and trajectory, and fired it with all his might.

puff!

Another arrow struck a stone dog squarely in the neck.

One arrow was fired, and the third arrow was already on the bowstring. As soon as this arrow was released, it hit the third stone dog. The remaining stone dog pounced on him.

Big Wolf and Water Stone rushed to Scaled Fish's side. Scaled Fish felt safe and turned around to nock an arrow. Its expression changed drastically, and it still shot at the group of stones. However, the arrow landed directly on the body of a stone dog and bounced off.

The stone dogs had already rushed to Luo Feng's front.

"Captain!" Big Wolf and the others roared, their expressions changing drastically.

If the ten stone hounds attacked, even their captain would likely be torn to pieces in an instant. To them, such a scene would be utterly fatal.

"Don't worry about me, just protect yourselves and the scaled fish."

Luo Feng remained calm as a stone dog lunged at him, while he drew a specially made long arrow, using it as a bayonet.

"puff!"

Seeing the stone dog lunging at him, Luo Feng unleashed his full power and pierced the stone dog's neck with an arrow. He quickly pulled it out, and blood spurted out.

He watched as the second stone dog charged at him, then leaned back, raised one leg, and kicked it onto the head of the second stone dog, using the momentum to flip backward.

He swiftly drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and executed the entire sequence of movements with perfect fluidity. Before his body even touched the ground, an arrow was already flying out.
