Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 59: Fire Bear
"Quack quack, quack quack quack, quack quack quack."
Fengyu nodded and turned to Ming and Ling, "It’s a low-grade spiritual beast, a fire bear who is slumbering currently.
Bears are strong and have great defense, among the strongest beasts in their rank.
We will change our battle plan this time – the fight will again start with me casting my spell, then Ming will face him in a direct fight focusing on defending himself, and Ling, you will try to bind his legs to limit his movement.
Wind Claw, you will only assist in this fight by annoying his backside whenever he’s about to deliver a heavy blow on Ming.
Is everyone ready?"
"Ready."
"Ready."
"Quack."
Nodding, Fengyu walked forward with light steps, carefully approaching the bear.
100 steps away...
90...
80...
Just as they were about to get closer, Fengyu felt a rush of heat from ahead –
"ROAAARR!!" a loud bear roar resounded in the forest around them!
Shocked, Fengyu’s spell, which was preparing, was interrupted!
In front, he saw Ming, the vanguard, suddenly take a step back and raise his hoe from the ground, throwing a wall of earth into the sky.
Inexplicably, just when the earth was in front, Ming shouted, "Rising Earth Wall, Rise!"
Instantly the earth in the air gathered together and formed a wall.
Right then, a huge claw mark appeared on the wall and was pierced through!
Ming was still preparing another spell, unable to do anything!
Before the bear could attack, a swish sound was heard –
"Silver Feather Spell, Shoot!"
"Fwuuuu-"
A feather rapidly flew through the air, accurately hitting the bear’s paw!
"ROAAAAAR!!" the bear roared in pain as his paw was pierced in the middle, blood splattering around, his attack ceasing instantly.
He looked angrily at Fengyu and fell to the ground with his four paws, about to sprint to him –
But once again, he was interrupted.
"Water Chain Spell, Chain!" Ling shouted at the bear, a chain forming according to her will around the bear’s right hind leg, stopping it right where it was.
Taking the chance, Wind Claw appeared behind him and raised his foot – he swiped his claw across the left hind leg, causing it to fall.
"ROAAAAAR!" the bear roared again, frantically trying to stand up again, but it only caused his injury to bleed more profusely. The chain also didn’t give up.
Just as the three were about to continue with their barrage of spells, the bear, seeing the situation unfavourable, focused on Ming in front of him who was about to build another wall.
He roared loudly into the sky –
"ROAAAAAAAR!"
Suddenly his fur became orange-red and in his roar, his breath transformed into fire!
He aimed it at Fengyu, the fire breath spreading in the air and quickly approaching Fengyu!
"Rising Earth Wall, Rise!" Ming ran back to Fengyu and raised the ground with his hoe, raising the earth and casting another spell!
A wall of earth formed and blocked the fire –
Fire transforms into earth, so naturally it was weaker against earth!
The fire was fully stopped and only hardened the earth, unable to burn through it.
Fengyu saw his opportunity and cast his Silver Feather Spell again.
Swish
A rapid feather flew through the air and hit the bear’s eye at bullpoint, directly piercing into his brain!
"ROAAAAAAAR!" the bear roared in pain, his breath a burning flame, lighting up the surrounding trees!
Fengyu’s Tune of Protection guided away the fire with its wind, Ming’s earth spiritual barrier protected him, and a blue mirror formed in front of Ling, shielding her from the flame.
Wind Claw sprinted away in just a few seconds, leaving several dozen steps to the safe spot Zimu stayed at.
A moment later, seeing the breath recede in the air, Fengyu looked at the corpse of the beast.
"As they say, a beast is stronger than a cultivator. All three of us are production creation masters, so our fighting force is weak, even if we have weapons.
After all, our spell expertise is mainly dedicated to learning how to better grow plants and raise ducks, how can we put the long effort into fighting like those beast hunters have?
But this is a good experience, it allows us to fight better.
Ming, Ling, you two help me quickly dismantle the bear," Fengyu walked forward and waved his hands, using his Spiritual Control art to open the bear’s maw.
Wind Claw came from afar with Zimu on his back. Seeing Fengyu, he could guess his intention.
He told Zimu to go down before jumping forward, its foot reaching into the maw.
Another step followed and he went into the maw fully, looking around.
Finally it saw it at the top of the mouth’s walls.
He reached with his foot and cut it off, taking it into his claw and walking out with it.
Outside, he laid it on the ground.
"Quack quack quack?" it quacked at Fengyu, asking him whether this was what he looked for.
"Indeed. Thank you. Innate abilities are always represented in the beast’s body. For you guys it was always outside, but here it’s this little organ that converts spiritual power into fire energy and then transforms it into the fire breath.
Such an item is always highly sought after!"
He then looked at Ming and Ling and saw that they had separated the limbs and cut open the abdomen, taking the important organs.
Because neither of their spatial bags was large enough to carry such a bear, they would only take important parts.
After the first battle, they looked further and only found a few smaller beasts.
Unwilling to fight the mid stage beasts, Fengyu decided to leave the area right outside their village.
Going further into the forest, they avoided some dangerous territories with the help of Zimu and finally found this place that housed many weaker beasts.
It’s been over a week since they departed and this was already their fourth kill, rewarding them with a few things.
But generally the reward wasn’t enough for them to return...
After all, each of them earned at least 1.000 spirit stones yearly without any danger...
This was only a tour to gain battle experience.
