With the help of the smoke and dust around him that had not yet dispersed, Tian Jihong quickly applied the ointment he had prepared on the wound on his back. After the dust settled, when he turned his sight to the direction of the flight again, he found the Rabbit and Rat King. Disappeared from sight again. At this critical moment, Tian Jihong suppressed the anxiety in his heart and forced himself to calm down. In the confrontation just now, I had concentrated all my attention but still failed to predict the opponent's actions. At this time, I had to change my thinking. Since you can't find a way to prevent the opponent from flashing behind you for the time being, you might as well take advantage of the geographical advantage to cover your whole body as much as possible, and expose the non-lethal parts as bait to wait for the Rabbit and Rat King to take action again. After suffering a loss, this time with experience, he must first understand the opponent's attack method before he can come up with a strategy to deal with it.
So after quickly looking around at the rocks around him, Tianjihong picked out a stone cliff a few meters away from him at a glance. This stone cliff was formed by the interweaving of towering stone walls on the left and right sides. After confirming that there were no enemies around him for the time being, Finally, Tianjihong flew to the corners of the two stone walls and pressed his back tightly against the center of the gap. At this time, he could use the barriers several feet high on both sides to ensure that he would not be attacked from behind. The strength of the Rabbit and Rat King was not enough to break through the stone wall from behind and launch an attack before he discovered it; he could only attack from behind. You need to always pay attention to the movements directly in front and at very small angles on the left and right sides. This time, the range that the opponent can launch an attack is only the small area in front of you. Therefore, your confidence in defending this time is much greater than before. .
Tian Jihong's eyes widened, and his heart couldn't help but ignited a strong desire for spiritual power cultivation again. If in front of a real monk, the speed of the Rabbit and Rat King may not be comparable to the former, but under the detection of his soul consciousness, it is obviously impossible for the Rabbit and Rat King to use the speed to launch a surprise attack like just now. , this is probably the reason why the Rabbit and Rat King has never been able to get back the spiritual fruit from the snake and turtle before. However, this ghostly body technique that comes and goes without a trace can indeed play a very effective suppressive role when used against mortals like Tianjihong.
At this time, the only thing Tianjihong could do was to hold his breath and concentrate, not daring to scan the stone walls in front of him without any slack. Without soul consciousness, he could only rely on his own vision to find the whereabouts of his opponent. Another half minute passed, and the cold sweat on Tian Jihong's forehead slowly spread across his cheeks. In this uninhabited wilderness, it was really a kind of suffering and torture to concentrate all his attention on guarding against possible attacks from all directions. On the one hand, he is worried that the other party will strike out like before, leaving him unable to even parry; on the other hand, he is also worried that the other party will really wake up and secretly delay him, which will put him in a bad situation. May be more dangerous. You must know that time is not on Tianjihong's side. Even if the Rabbit and Rat King has a little wisdom and chooses to wait for an opportunity in the dark until the rats swarm behind him, then he may not be able to escape today; therefore, At this time, Tianjihong, who was fully focused, not only had to be wary of the opponent's elusive attacks, but also actively looked for opportunities to take action as much as possible.
Looking at the direction of the grassland from where they came from, there were already sporadic rabbits and rats on the rocky road at the end of the field of vision. They were moving closer to this place before the rat tide. There was no time to waste. Tianjihong finally decided to break the boat and once again picked up a few medium-sized stones beside him and threw them in various directions in the area in front of him, thinking of making a big noise like at the beginning to anger the Rabbit and Rat King. Let your opponent launch the attack first to reverse the situation that makes you feel suffocated.
Sure enough, after throwing four or five stones in a row, a huge figure suddenly emerged from the rubble in the sky to his left front and moved towards him quickly. What happened next was exactly the same as what happened two minutes ago. In Tianjihong's sight, the giant beast that was clearly attacking from his left with its claws appeared in his right hand like a flicker the moment it came into contact with his body. Fortunately, the geographical advantage came into play at this time. Unlike the attack that appeared behind him last time, Tianjihong had no time to react. The sharp claw attacking his right temple at this time triggered Tianjihong's fighting instinct subconsciously. He waved his arms to block it. I saw that driven by the strong impact generated by the opponent's running, the sleeve of his right arm was torn apart by the rat's claws, just like the clothes behind him. There were two clearly bloody wounds. However, under this resistance, the impact on Tianjihong's body this time was alleviated a lot. Only the shock of the remaining energy caused his left shoulder to be embedded in the stone wall beside him. On the three-foot-high stone wall Leaving a huge crack.
Tianjihong, who was traumatized again, unexpectedly showed a satisfied look at this time. This time, after making sufficient preparations in advance, he finally found clues from the rabbit and rat's actions. The scene at this time was exactly the same as when he was attacked on the other side. At the moment when he collided with the mouse paw, the afterimage of the rabbit and rat king running towards his left side from a distance was still clearly visible until he was firmly in place. Only when it was firmly embedded in the center of the stone wall did the afterimage gradually dissipate. It is not difficult to guess that the Rabbit and Rat King in the two attacks was definitely not able to completely reverse Tianjihong's vision perception just by relying on his amazing speed. There must be other mysteries in the process. . According to his inference, the Rabbit and Rat King must have used one or even multiple natal skills to achieve the almost teleportation effect just now. In reality, the Rabbit and Rat King would definitely not be able to appear in two places at the same time.
Tianjihong's guess was correct at all. What he didn't know was just the name of the skill used by the Rabbit and Rat King. In this series of seemingly incredible raids, the Rabbit and Rat King used a total of two innate skills - latent shadow and phantom. It is not difficult to understand that the moment he launched his sprint from a distance, the Rabbit and Rat King had already activated his phantom body skill, imitating his own moving figure and turning it into an exact afterimage. In fact, the skill of phantom body can be regarded as a quite common beast skill among spirit beasts that are good at speed. However, generally speaking, this kind of skill still needs to be performed through spiritual power, and most of them are released when the spirit beast is escaping. Used to confuse the perception of natural enemies and help oneself escape.
However, the Rabbit and Rat King chose to find another way. It has inherited this native skill from its bloodline, and turned this seemingly harmless life-saving skill into a means of hiding its own attack method. The most commendable thing about this phantom body is that the afterimage it creates will continue to follow the trajectory of the real body in a short period of time and will not dissipate easily; it is precisely because of this that this skill has quite good confusion. Sex can disrupt the opponent's perception. The duration of the phantom body is often determined by the amount of spiritual power when the spirit beast is used. A phantom body like the Rabbit and Rat King that can be maintained without spiritual power can only be maintained for one or two seconds. If it is used for It might be really useless to escape. But at this time, the Rabbit and Rat King used it as a combination with another latent shadow skill. When the two were combined and used in attacks, incredible effects were produced.
As the name suggests, another latent shadow skill, as literally described, can hide one's own body in space in an instant. It is also the second magical skill learned by the Rabbit and Rat King from elsewhere. What is certain is that this type of skill is definitely not a skill inherited from the rabbit and mouse bloodline. Most of it is spread among spiritual beasts who are good at hiding and escaping, and can even change their appearance according to the environment. As for where the Rabbit and Rat King learned this skill, no one knows, but judging from the current situation, the combination of this magical skill of hiding the figure and the natural skill of releasing phantoms makes the Rabbit and Rat King look like Assassins in the darkness generally have attack effects that are uncertain whether they are real or false, and can cause attacks in the east or in the west. Of course, such a surprise attack trick can only achieve miraculous effects against mortals like Tianjihong who have no soul perception. Once faced with a real monk or spiritual beast, the opponent can identify his true body in advance through perception. These two skills It will lose most of its effect.
After basically seeing through his opponent's moves, Tianjihong crawled out from the crack in the stone wall and was ready to launch a counterattack. While the second blow just failed to achieve the expected effect, the Rabbit and Rat King once again used its speed to widen the distance between the two sides. It is definitely not willing to engage in close combat with its opponent. But this time, with Tianjihong's concentration, he had roughly locked his opponent's escape direction with his eyes, and then he got up and jumped to the top of the stone cliff. Tianjihong, who was taking advantage of his vision from above, accurately spotted the Rabbit and Rat King who was still moving in the distance, trying to find the angle of the next attack. At this time, he had already thought of a way to deal with the enemy in his mind, and had regained his previous confidence, waiting for the next round to completely eliminate the opponent.
But at the same time, in Tianjihong's peripheral vision, a worrying scene in the distance once again sounded the alarm for himself. At the edge of the rocky slope, he could already see groups of rabbits and mice starting to move towards his direction. Although the rat tide that has lost the sound wave control of the Rabbit and Rat King is not as unified as before. From a distance, the rat groups in the areas separated by the rocky terrain appear slightly scattered, but this still does not prevent the large number of rabbits and rats from being chaotic. It spread among the rocky slopes, constantly sniffing for its whereabouts. This journey to Tianjihong only took ten minutes, and it would probably be even shorter if it were left with the rat tide. If he still failed to kill the Rabbit and Rat King hiding not far away with his next move, he would be caught up with him. The rat tide may be about to arrive on the battlefield, and by then the balance of victory may once again tilt towards the opposite side.
