Tianjihong didn't dare to count on his luck to be able to successfully insert the dagger into the cliff to support his weight, but even the momentary force on the stone wall was enough for him. At the moment when the dagger was stuck in the crack of the stone, Tianjihong stood up in mid-air with the help of the drag force brought by the hemp rope, abruptly stopped his body from continuing to fall, and launched his final launch directly towards the edge of the slope that was just around the corner. sprint.
Sure enough, the dagger that was not completely stuck in the stone crack finally slipped out after some pulling, and the hemp rope that was hastily tied on it was about to fall off. But at this time, Tianjihong, who had returned to the same level as the rock slope under the swing of the rope, had already stretched out his arms to tightly grasp the edge of the cliff; his lower body was tumbling in the air driven by inertia, and crossed a path from the lower end of the slope. After an arc, he jumped upwards, and finally landed on the edge of the slope in a dangerous way.
With his smooth operation, Tianjihong, who finally landed firmly on the ground, was nearly 70 meters away from the granite platform in the distance, and all existing paths in between were being chased by himself and his opponent. damaged. This time, the giant wolf above would never be able to cross this distance in a short period of time. After half an hour of fierce fighting, Tianjihong was finally able to rest and take a breath.
Dong Yunlang, the opponent in the distance, was obviously furious when he saw this scene. At this time, it had successfully returned to the cave. Seeing that victory was close at hand, it never expected that its opponent would come up with such a desperate comeback at the critical moment. Not only did it instantly resolve all its previous disadvantages, but it also He also trapped himself on the platform above, unable to find a way to pursue him or return home. Once the weak period of madness has completely arrived in a few minutes, if the opponent finds an opportunity to take a detour and return here, it will obviously be in danger as the sequelae bite it.
Moreover, the entrance to the cave has always been a place that Dongyun Wolf has always been afraid of. Just now, a wolf alone made such a big noise here. It is a blessing that it did not anger the people in the cave. As an outsider, Tianjihong knows nothing about the situation nearby, but Dongyun Wolf, which has lived here for many years, is well aware of the horrors deep in the cave, otherwise it would not have hunted before. He also carefully cleaned up any traces of his visit. If it stays here for too long, and if someone accidentally notices it from the depths of the cave, it may end up not knowing how it died. So the only thing the Dongyun Wolf can do now is to quickly go up and around the mountains, making a big circle to find a new path back to the lair on the back of the mountain to rest and recuperate.
Tianjihong, who was standing quietly on the slope, quickly activated his skills to adjust his breath, but still kept his sight firmly fixed on the platform in the distance. After all, Dong Yunlang, his opponent, is actually more familiar with the nearby terrain than he is. Although he is very sure that he has destroyed all the paths visible in his field of vision, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not find one of his own. Raid on undiscovered roads. Therefore, the necessary vigilance is still necessary.
However, under his gaze, Dongyun Wolf, who saw that it was helpless against Tianjihong in the distance, finally chose to leave sadly after howling several times threateningly. A few minutes later, when he saw the huge head finally disappearing from the edge of the platform, Tianjihong also relaxed his guard slightly and began to heal his wounds with all his strength.
In this duel with Dong Yun Lang, although he did not suffer any serious trauma, the process was more dangerous than yesterday's battle. During this period, Tian Ji Hong fell into a disadvantage several times after the opponent's changes of moves. In the end, judging from the final result, he was just lucky enough to rely on his wisdom to draw with the opponent's general.
Tianjihong also experienced the power of real spiritual beasts at this moment. Although the Dongyun Wolf's last move, the Secret Technique of Madness, did make it surpass the strength of ordinary spirit beasts, the most fundamental reason why the opponent was so difficult to deal with was because the spirit beasts had developed intelligence that was no less than that of humans. Not only did the opponent quickly see through several of the traps he had set up when responding to the situation, Tianjihong himself was almost led into the trap by the opponent several times.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to recover his spiritual power, Tianjihong also carefully reviewed the contest in his mind. He was quite satisfied with his decision just now. Compared with the various mistakes in the battles of the previous two days, my performance in today's duel with Dongyun Wolf was actually relatively good. Even though there were many risky moves during the period, at least they were made within a rational scope. decision.
Tianjihong understood that if he were to compete with the opponent all over again, I am afraid that except for some details, there would be nothing that could be optimized strategically. The improvement in tactics was also the main reason why I did not suffer fatal injuries until the end of the duel today. In the end, there was such a tie situation because the opponent's strength indeed exceeded his expectations after going crazy.
However, it is not the end of the battle yet. Even if Tianjihong knows that the Dongyun Wolf's mad state will not last long, it will most likely choose to escape after its effect disappears, and it is unlikely to come back here to harass even in a short period of time. By myself. However, to ensure safety, he would definitely have to return to the original place to confirm that the other party was really unable to fight again before he could rest assured.
Besides, I spent so much effort to solve this disaster. Apart from wanting to practice with him after gaining my spiritual power yesterday, the most important thing was my plan to go deep into the cave to find out. Therefore, how to return to the upper platform now is the biggest problem before us.
Fortunately, during the battle, his package was still close to his side, and with the rope and dagger just there, Tianjihong was relatively confident that he could find a way out here. In Tianjihong's plan, he did not consider going around to the other side of the mountain to find other paths like the Dong Yunlang above. Looking at the bottomless mountain stream at his feet, what if he, who knew nothing about the surrounding environment, would If you want to find another way, you may not know how far you have to take a detour.
So, with the path above being blocked, Tianjihong set his sights on his feet. His purpose was of course not to dive all the way to the bottom of the cliff, but to find a narrower area in the mountain stream to cross to the opposite west cliff just like when he came here. The cliffs between the east and west sides grow vertically, and the distance between the cliffs at both ends has not been widened due to the decrease in altitude. Since I was able to find a platform above the cliffs just now, Tianjihong I don't believe that there is no other suitable position in the area under my feet to go to the other end.
This time, with enough preparation time, he repeated his old trick and tied the rope around his waist, with the other end firmly fixed on the slope, and then began another round of diving. As expected, after descending about a hundred meters, Tianjihong saw that not far to the side, there was also a flat terrain protruding toward the mountain stream between the cliffs to the west.
However, unlike the lava area above, the soil on the west platform looks quite moist, and half of the area is covered by dense vegetation. Tianjihong guessed that he was probably not too far from the bottom of the cliff, and only in the low-altitude basin climate would there be such a humid environment suitable for the growth of vegetation.
Although this protruding terrain is not as large as the granite platform in the cave above, covering an area of nearly half a square, its length extending into the valley is also nearly three feet, which greatly shortens the distance Tianjihong needs to cross the mountain stream. Even if the latter was not as lucky as when he came, he could not find a supporting point to place the bridge on the opposite side of the platform; but with the previous demonstration of Dongyun Wolf, Tianjihong had roughly understood the upper limit of his physical ability in the duel just now. , since the opponent can easily cross a farther distance than now, there is no reason why I, who is similar in strength to Dongyun Wolf, can't do it.
Therefore, Tianjihong chose a rock about four to five feet high on the opposite side of the platform. It was wider than other places to stay and could provide him with a running distance of about two to three meters. After collecting the rope around his waist, Tianjihong leaned against the cliff and took a deep breath. He kicked his legs to speed up and rushed straight towards the mountain stream ahead.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time. Tianjihong, who used all his strength to jump, successfully crossed the distance and almost touched the cliff on the west side before reaching the platform below. Obviously with his strength, there is a chance that he can successfully jump to the other side even if he doesn't need a platform to settle down. It's just that Tianjihong doesn't want to do such a risky thing just to be on the safe side.
Due to the height difference, Tianjihong was still two or three meters above the soil below when he arrived at the opposite cliff. However, at this distance, it was impossible for him to even scratch himself due to his physique far beyond that of an ordinary person. Landing firmly behind a dense bush, Tianjihong quickly stood up, dusted off the dirt on his body, and quickly began to look for a way to climb upward.
But before that, the attentive Tianjihong observed some unusual places on this damp platform. Similar to the Fireback Sheep skeleton found on the east side before, there were also many skeleton fragments piled in the corner of the platform he was on. Originally, he thought that there were east-luck wolves in the surrounding area. This situation was not really a special discovery, but after carefully examining the cracks in the bones, Tianjihong frowned.
The fractures in the broken bones do not seem to be as sharp as being broken by a huge force. The rather rounded shape of the joints seems to have been burned by flames and actively melted and fallen off under the action of high temperature. Come. Looking at it this way, although Dongyun Wolf also has fire-attribute spiritual power in his body, in the duel just now, the former did not show any skills similar to controlling flames. So if the other party hadn't deliberately concealed his clumsiness, there would only be one possibility left - in addition to Dongyun Wolf, there must be other powerful spiritual beasts around here, and judging from the flames it controls, which are enough to melt bones, its strength may even be Above the East Lucky Wolf.
