The Shadow Leopard was observing Lu Xiu, and Lu Xiu was also observing the Shadow Leopard.

One man and one beast confront.

There is only the sound of the wind, and the atmosphere is a little weird.

The strange atmosphere made Li Xinlan behind Lu Xiu almost nervous to the point of stopping breathing. Although she was very determined to stay, when she really faced the huge pressure brought by the shadow leopard, her heart was still about to beat out of her chest.

If it weren't for Lu Xiu in front of her, she might have collapsed a long time ago.

While she was thinking wildly, Shadow Leopard and Lu Xiu moved almost at the same time. The shadow leopard was the first to disappear from the spot, and Lu Xiu's figure also moved. The speed of one man and one beast reached a rather terrifying level.

During the high-speed movement, the two claws of the shadow leopard bounced, as if they were about to cut through the air, and attacked straight towards Lu Xiu's waist.

In order to prevent the shadow leopard's attack from affecting Li Xinlan, Lu Xiu deliberately went head-on.

He wanted to see what kind of strength this underage shadow leopard could achieve.

Lu Xiu naturally wouldn't use his fleshy palm to resist the sharp claws of the shadow leopard, after walking out of the barrier, everyone had already purchased a lot of refined weapons and armor from the blacksmith shop in the supply hub, such as the sharp stainless steel machete in Lu Xiu's hand. If such a controlled weapon was placed in the previous civilized society, it would definitely be arrested and put into the police station, but in the current world where spirit beasts are rampant, the order has long been changed, and such weapons can be allowed to circulate and trade in the market to achieve the purpose of self-defense.

"Bang".

A spark came from where the knife and the claw met.

The shadow leopard passed in front of Lu Xiu's eyes, and the long knife in his hand was already raised high.

A look of horror appeared on Lu Xiu's face.

The description on the paper will eventually be lacking, without a head-to-head battle with the spirit beast, you will never know what kind of ability the spirit beast on the other side has, just like the description of the shadow leopard in the book is only a little faster, in fact, from Lu Xiu's horizontal knife to resist, but the knife is bounced high, the strength of the shadow leopard is definitely not worse than the strength of the spirit beast of the same level, this is the difference in the grade of the spirit beast itself!

The Shadow Leopard is the best of the medium spirit beasts, and an adult Shadow Leopard is enough to rival the Great Battle Soul among humans, or even the Battle Venerable, and you can imagine how powerful its talent is. Even if this shadow leopard was only in its juvenile stage, it was enough to bring enough threat to Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu's tiger's mouth was shocked and slightly painful, his strength could reach nearly five thousand catties, and the shadow leopard was able to sprint with all his strength, and he was still able to split the long knife high, on the other hand, the shadow leopard's claws, it seemed that there was nothing at all.

The horizontal knife shined through the sunlight, and Lu Xiu saw a few openings on the blade.

The refined stainless steel was also chiseled out and broken.

"Damn, this ghost's strength is too great..."Lu Xiu couldn't help but be afraid for a while, fortunately he took out the long knife in time just now, otherwise, I am afraid that it would be planted in the hands of the shadow leopard.

Hearing Lu Xiu's scolding voice, Li Xinlan came back to her senses, ran to Lu Xiu's side, looked at him nervously and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you stand back, this guy's speed is terrifying. ”

Lu Xiu said solemnly.

Li Xinlan quickly and obediently withdrew, she was an extremely smart girl, and she knew that she should not distract Lu Xiu at this time.

Although the shadow leopard has sharp claws, it is an object that extends from its body after all, not to mention that this shadow leopard is only in its infancy, so it can't compete with stainless steel, and the damage it brought it just now is not small, and one of its claws is trembling slightly at this moment.

It also needs respite!

Lu Xiu seemed to be aware of this, but he didn't wait any longer, he quickly picked up the long knife and rushed out.

Take advantage of its illness and kill it!

The long knife reflected the sunlight in the air, and Lu Xiu's speed was also extremely fast, making the shadow leopard's pupils shrink slightly. In a short period of time, Lu Xiu had already appeared in front of it, and the wide blade of the long knife had already enveloped its entire body.

"Die!"

After all, the shadow leopard has only been in this world for a limited time, and at this moment it seemed to be a little panicked, and quickly turned around to escape from the blade, but unfortunately its reaction was still half a beat slower.

A terrible wail came from its mouth.

Defense was not its strong point, and although its movement allowed it to escape the fatal blow, the long knife in Lu Xiu's hand still slashed precisely at its hind legs, and the entire leopard leg on the right half was split, and the red blood sprayed on the dog's tail grass on the side of the road, seeping into the dirt.

With a series of wails, the Shadow Leopard collapsed in a pool of blood, three legs no longer enough for it to get up and escape.

Lu Xiu knew that he couldn't be merciful at this time, so the long knife was raised again, and this time, it went directly towards the decapitation.

The blood of the shadow leopard splattered from the skull more than two meters high, its whole body was gray and black, but the blood was extremely red, and the hot leopard blood splashed Lu Xiu's head and face, and even the entire white clothes and pants.

In a moment, its pupils gradually dilated, and the separated limbs began to stiffen and cold, and the scene was very bloody for a while, so that Li Xinlan had closed her eyes.

Lu Xiu saw that it was dead, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was already a little breathless, although defense is not the strength of the shadow leopard, but it is definitely not easy to break through its flesh and bones, from the toughness of the knife handle, Lu Xiu knows that the fur on its body is definitely a valuable commodity.

Without hesitation, Lu Xiu picked up its corpse from the ground and began to separate the fur and flesh from its body.

This is a complicated process, Lu Xiu is the first time to perform such an operation, and he is somewhat unfamiliar, because of this, his movements are a little jerky and slow.

Li Xinlan covered her mouth, slowly approached, came to Lu Xiu's side and squatted down, and asked, "Lu Xiu, what are you doing... It's all dead. ”

Lu Xiu said without looking back: "Although it is the first time for me to hunt a spirit beast, the parts on the spirit beast are all good things, this guy's fur is very precious, if you don't peel it off and hand it over to the academy, it will be a complete waste." ”

"Oh..."

Li Xinlan nodded as if she didn't understand. Although she understood what Lu Xiu said, this scene was really disgusting to her, and she still unconsciously almost gagged. Lu Xiu didn't care much about this, and still carried out his own actions.

After Lu Xiu separated the fur and hung it on his clothes, dozens of minutes had passed, and Lu Xiu cut the pleura of the shadow leopard from his chest, and a shiny irregular round object attracted the attention of the two.

"What is this..."

"This is the crystal nucleus..."Lu Xiu's face showed a look of ecstasy, he really didn't expect this guy to produce this thing in his body. Lu Xiu explained with a smile: "There is a certain chance that a spirit beast will produce this thing when it dies, the more high-level the spirit beast will produce a greater chance, and the better the quality, the better the crystal nucleus, the purer it is." ”

He said as he used his blade to dig the round crystal out of its chest.

The whole crystal nucleus is gray-black, and there are a lot of impurities in it, and it is actually a little heavy and slimy. However, Lu Xiu didn't dislike it at all, and directly put it into his pocket, this guy was killed by him, and this crystal nucleus naturally belonged to him.

"What now..."Li Xinlan looked at the corpse of the shadow leopard, a little scared.

"Of course it's taken away, you shouldn't have forgotten our purpose this time, right?" Lu Xiu said stunned.

"Uh..." Li Xinlan scratched her head and stuck out her tongue. Yes, how could she forget about this mission---- the reason why they came out of the barrier was for the reward of the academy, to get the reward, they had to hunt the spirit beast, and after seven days, whoever stored more spirit beast corpses would be the winner.

"But this guy, how do you take it..."Li Xinlan was a little troubled.

Lu Xiu told her what to do with his actions.

I saw that Lu Xiu didn't say a word, and had already picked up the body of the shadow leopard: "I'll take its body, this one is heavier, and you can take the rest of the head, that one has no weight." ”

"I don't want it!"

Li Xinlan rejected Lu Xiu's proposal almost instantly, her face showed a look of disgust, and she couldn't help but feel a convulsion in her stomach when she glanced at the bloody leopard head of the shadow leopard.

"Then you take the body, I'll take the head. ”

"----" Li Xinlan looked at Lu Xiu pitifully and asked, "Can't you just not take it?"

"Well..."

In desperation, Lu Xiu had no choice but to pick it with a long knife and put the head of the shadow leopard on his shoulder.

"Where are we going now?" asked Li Xinlan, sticking out her tongue.

"Go find them. ”

"But they don't know where they went... We were separated. ”

Lu Xiu frowned, looked around, it was empty, the style of the highway intersection was cold, and the weather was also a bad factor, because the sun was suddenly gone, and the sky changed in an instant, and the dark clouds in the sky began to thicken.

"It looks like it's going to rain...let's find a place to shelter. Lu Xiu said helplessly.

……

Where can I find a good shelter from the rain in this kind of place, the two searched for a long time, and finally found an inconspicuous temple, this temple is dilapidated, I think it should be a temple for the villagers in the village, but now it is completely deserted, the Buddha statues inside are covered with cobwebs, and even the arms have disappeared and I don't know where they went.

"Boom"

Lightning and thunder roared, and thunder rang out from the sky. The rain clouds floated, and the torrential rain fell from the sky almost instantly. Since the barrier was erected, weather forecasts have been unable to accurately predict weather changes, which may also have a lot to do with the appearance of spirit beasts, which even technology can no longer reasonably explain.

Li Xinlan and Lu Xiu ran into the temple in embarrassment, the broken tiles could cover the torrential rain, and there were still a lot of raindrops that slipped through the net and fell at the feet of the two.

Li Xinlan stroked her wet hair, looked at the rain curtain in front of her that made her almost invisible outside, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately they ran fast, otherwise I am afraid that they would have become soup chickens...
