On the way back, Tianjihong had given up being as cautious as before. At this time, he was eager to attract other powerful creatures in the grass to help block the pursuers behind him! Therefore, the time it took to return to the rocky slope was greatly shortened compared to the time when he came. With all his strength, Tian Jihong set foot on the rugged rocky road again in just ten minutes. Tianjihong, who had exhausted all his physical strength, finally had a chance to stop and take a breath. At the same time, he looked back at the vast grassland behind him to confirm the location of the rat tide. What still worries him is that although the overwhelming brown torrent can no longer be seen in his field of vision, the rustling sound among the tall grass not far away is still clearly audible. This is obviously a small number of rats chasing before the tide. The lone rabbit and rat that had come down were constantly approaching him in the grass, which meant that the mastermind behind the rat tide still had no intention of letting him go. Thinking of this, Tianjihong didn't dare to risk staying too long. After adjusting his breath for a while, he slipped into the rocks behind him.
The slowly setting sun was almost touching the top of the mountain on the west side. Tianjihong guessed that it would be dusk in less than an hour. Fortunately, he was returning at full speed. This period of time was enough for him to leave the mountain. More than enough. However, just as he expected, the steep terrain now greatly slowed down his progress. Even though he had nearly doubled his walking speed compared to before, it still took him nearly ten minutes to see the mountain in the distance. of dense forest. But before he could get excited, Tianjihong's pupils suddenly shrank. At the end of the rocky slope, he finally saw the mastermind behind the wave of rats behind him.
I saw a towering stone mountain ten meters in front of me, and a figure about the same size as myself was standing steadily on the top of the stone mountain. The appearance of this creature was 90% similar to that of the rabbit and rat chasing him, but its size was more than dozens of times larger. It looked like a king commanding the rats behind it. The difference between the two is that the huge rabbit and mouse king in front of you has scimitar-shaped claws between its feet, and the fur all over its body is brighter than the dark brown of its kind, and there are also... There were dense red spots, which looked creepy as if they were infected with the plague. The most unusual thing is that at this time, the Rabbit and Rat King's mouth is continuously emitting sound waves. Its low frequency makes Tianjihong unable to hear the sound, and he can only feel some tinnitus when approaching; but the top of the stone peak is covered with sound waves. The vibrating and somewhat distorted air undoubtedly showed the strength of this sonic skill. The closer he got to the former, the more obvious the buzzing in Tianjihong's ears became. According to his analysis, this should also be the method used by the Rabbit and Rat King to remotely control the unified actions of the group.
Looking at this last obstacle on the way home, Tianjihong was already secretly analyzing the strength of the Rabbit and Rat King. Although it was a smooth journey into the mountains this time, and I relied on my wisdom and luck to perfectly avoid all kinds of dangers along the way, and basically never triggered a real battle; but at this time, the only road in front of me was blocked by the enemy who was very close at hand. , the pursuers behind him are also constantly approaching him under the control of the former. In this situation where there are wolves in front and tigers in back, the first and last battle of this trip seems to be really unavoidable.
Fortunately, after some observation, Tianjihong did not feel any spiritual fluctuations in the Rabbit and Rat King. It seems that the other party, like the soil newt, has not yet reached the level of a spiritual beast. But compared to those behind him who are not much different from ordinary mice, the combat power of this guy in front of him is obviously not to be underestimated. His size is comparable to that of an ordinary person and he has sharp teeth and claws that humans do not have, making him now defenseless. Tianjihong is at an inherent disadvantage in the situation. According to Tianjihong's analysis, the best way to face the Rabbit and Rat King, who has a natural advantage in speed, is to use brute force to knock down the opponent as quickly as possible and severely injure him, because at this time there are still pursuers approaching behind him. , this battle must not be like yesterday's fight with the fourth old man, passive defense to delay time and wait for the opponent to tire; when you are not as fast as the opponent, and it is difficult to actively pursue or escape to avoid the battle, you must fight quickly and use all your strength to attack with thunderous momentum. Take down the opponent so that you can escape in time before the rats arrive.
Of course, the Rabbit and Rat King among the stone peaks had another idea. His mission was to single-handedly delay Tianjihong and wait for reinforcements to arrive from behind. At this time, he was not in a hurry to take action first. When it escapes, you will follow up from the side and continue to entangle with the opponent. Therefore, Tianji Hongtong, who was the first to take action, repeated the same trick as yesterday. The energy and blood in his dantian surged and he let out a low shout. He once again picked up a stone twice the size of himself and went straight towards the Rabbit and Rat King. Throwing it away from the center of the stone peak, I saw that the steep stone peak was blown to pieces under the impact of the stubborn rocks, as if it was hit by a cannonball. The rubble all over the sky poured down like a torrential rain, destroying this entire piece of land. The closed battlefield was completely cleansed. With the help of the scattered stone powder and smoke, Tianjihong sidestepped around the position where the Rabbit and Rat King had just been, trying to run towards home.
However, at this time, he naturally would not be so naive as to think that the Rabbit and Rat King would suffer casualties with his own little tricks, and he did not expect that his move of sneaking away would not be discovered by the opponent. What he did was just to lure the opponent to catch up. Fight close to yourself so you have a greater chance of knocking the opponent down as quickly as possible. In fact, this was a helpless move, because the agile Rabbit and Rat King had already reacted and jumped to the flat ground at the moment Tianjihong threw the boulder. When the huge impact occurred, the former With its incredible speed, it had even left the collision area several meters away. At this speed, if Tianjihong were to take the initiative to chase his opponent and launch an attack, he would probably be paralyzed from exhaustion and not be able to touch a single hair of the Rabbit and Rat King.
When he couldn't catch up with his opponent and would be stuck with him if he tried to escape, luring the Rabbit and Rat King to get close first was his only option. Fortunately, the Rabbit and Rat King was not considered a spiritual beast and did not have such wisdom. When he was angered by the fierce attack of the boulder and saw his opponent trying to escape, his nature drove the Rabbit and Rat King to start towards Tianjihong. attack. Facing an opponent who was faster than him, Tianjihong didn't even dare to blink at this moment. He had mobilized all his energy to guard against attacks that might come from any angle. He was secretly glad that the terrain around him was favorable to him at this time, and the various strange-shaped rocks around him provided him with a lot of cover, which could slow down the impact from different directions in a short time; at the same time, the opponent's huge physique made it difficult for him to Use the terrain to hide your whereabouts. In Tianjihong's view, with such a favorable geographical advantage, he judged that the first attack of the Rabbit and Rat King should be an easy one. After overcoming the opponent's opening surprise attack, he would be in danger if he fell into a close combat. It's time to show off your power.
Unfortunately, Tianjihong, who was full of confidence, still thought of his opponent too simply. At this time, he saw a ghostly figure rushing towards the former at an incredible speed. It seemed that he had no intention of hiding in the dark and making a sneak attack. Before Tianjihong could get excited about seeing his opponent's path clearly, the Rabbit and Rat King, who had moved only two feet away from Tianjihong's eyes, suddenly appeared behind Tianjihong as if teleporting before his eyes. In the latter's frightened eyes, while his back was bearing the full blow of the sharp claw, the afterimage of the Rabbit and Rat King in front of him still hadn't dissipated. At this time, the Rabbit and Rat King, who had caught the opponent's distraction, directly swung out his left paw before stabilizing his body in mid-air, accurately hitting Tianjihong's spine.
The terrifying force exploded, and at this moment, the clothes behind Tianjihong were torn open like tofu, with three cracks about the thickness of a thumb. The sharp claws came into contact with Tianjihong's back, making a harsh "squeaking" sound like steel. Tianjihong's body, which had been honed in all kinds of ways, once again played its role. Under the sharp rat claws like blades, only the backbone was visible. A few bloodstains. Although the splattered blood dyed the thin clothes red, the fact that it was not cut into two pieces under this full force of the claw is enough to show how powerful Tianjihong's body is. At least according to the current situation, the latter is still not. The combat effectiveness was affected by this move.
However, although the physical injuries were not too serious, the terrifying impact force immediately caused Tianjihong to face up and hit a steep rock wall in front of him. Driven by the consciousness of fighting, the only thing Tianjihong could do was to raise his arms to protect his face, so that his vital parts were not damaged when he collided with the stone wall. But under the explosive impact, the scene when his steel-hard body hit the stone wall was no less than the huge boulder he had just thrown. Just hearing a "bang", the three-foot-high stone wall suddenly collapsed, and huge falling rocks piled up into a hill on the ground. After a while, we could see a blurry figure struggling in the pile of rocks. The dust slowly crawled out of the sky.
Feeling the bleeding wound on his back, the anger and fear in Tianjihong's heart spread at the same time. Naturally, he was angry because he was so careless and was injured by his opponent without the ability to fight back. You must know that when he fought with the fourth old man yesterday, he only waited until the opponent used his martial arts before the first spot appeared. In terms of injuries, being hit and bleeding by a beast that may not be as powerful as him like today really made his chest burn with anger; and the fear was that he had clearly captured the opponent's course of action through his sight just now, but in At the last moment of the surprise attack, he could clearly feel that his previous judgment was obviously greatly deviated. When he concentrated on preparing to resist the frontal attack, the opponent's real target was always the area on his back. What makes Tianjihong most incomprehensible is that until now, he still has not been able to analyze the opponent's attack method, nor can he find a suitable countermeasure. If the opponent hadn't been too impatient and failed to stabilize his body, he would have been there. The forceful attack in mid-air reduced the power of this claw. I am afraid that now I will not only have this kind of injury on my body.
