Chapter 56: The Pursuit
The moment he was hit in the chest by the magic fireball, Li Ji only felt as if he had been hit by a speeding train, and the strength of his body was thick and heavy, accompanied by a scorching breath, and there was a pain in Li Ji's chest that was knocked to the ground.
Although he had already tasted the taste of being hit by a magic fireball many times, Li Ji still preferred not to have such an opportunity. The two sides are at war, and he is not the one who likes to be beaten.
But at this time, it was useless to think too much, Li Ji, who was lying on the grass, grinned, gasped a few breaths, and gently rubbed his left hand on the chest that was hit by the magic fireball, soothing the pain and checking the injury.
When I looked up at my chest, my skin was red and slightly swollen. The reddened area was formed by the high temperature that burned when it was hit by a magic fireball. As for the slight redness and swelling, Li Ji touched it lightly with his fingers, not as if he had been burned like before, but as if he had been injured by the force of the magic fireball. With Li Ji's gentle rubbing, the pain began to ease, and it was no longer as painful as when he was hit.
As the pain subsided, Li Ji, who was lying on the grass, laughed wildly.
Once upon a time, Li Ji would be seriously injured after being hit by the magic fireball of a first-level demonic beast, but at this moment, after going through the lava lake to extract the lingzhi and taking the painful half of the lingzhi, he was reborn like a rebirth, and now he can not be afraid of the magic fireball of the first-level demonic beast. After being hit by a magic fireball, although it is not possible to completely ignore the impact of the magic fireball, this is a minor issue. With both his physique and fire attribute magic resistance improved, he could already be said to be invincible against the first-level demonic beasts of the fire attribute.
Li Ji, who was lying on the grass, thought of this, and the pleasure in his chest could no longer be suppressed, and he laughed wildly.
Li Ji knew that all this was thanks to the help of the young beast, and if it wasn't for the young beast, he wouldn't have achieved what he was doing at this moment. Although he felt that he was pitted by the young beast after taking the Ganoderma lucidum at that time, it was no wonder that he would have this idea, it was really the young beast itself that was unreliable, and he did not take his bearing capacity into account, if it wasn't for the fact that he only ate half a Ganoderma lucidum because of an accident at that time, Li Ji would probably have already achieved Bliss by now, after all, according to the path of the young beast, he wanted Li Ji to eat a whole Lingzhi. Fortunately, the young beast did not boast that after eating the Lingzhi, it would be immune to the magic fireball attacks of those first-level demonic beasts.
After laughing for a while, Li Ji suddenly thought that there were four first-level demonic beasts waiting for him to clean up. So he turned over and got up, holding the sword in his right hand and looking in the direction of the four first-level demonic beasts, just as he saw them trembling uneasily, as if they were ready to flee for their lives again.
Li Ji didn't think much about it, the fireballs scattered around him had already ignited the weeds on the ground, and the firelight was accompanied by smoke. Li Ji strode out, holding his sword and killing the four first-level demonic beasts on the opposite side.
In fact, the four first-level demonic beasts were already ready to start running after seeing Li Ji smash their two magic fireballs in a row, but the clinker Li Ji was knocked away by the third magic fireball immediately afterward, which made their originally raised hearts let go again, and then they probed one after another, wanting to see if Li Ji who was hit by the magic fireball hung up. But who would have thought that before they could see clearly, Li Ji, who had fallen to the ground upside down, would laugh wildly on the grass. This frightened the four-headed first-level demonic beast that was still carefully spying on the enemy's situation. Because they had never seen a species that laughed after hitting their magic fireballs, it made them nervous for a while. After all, in their world, for ordinary beasts, they can directly use magic fireball attacks to send them away, and it is very likely to burn the provocateur to death, and for the monsters that are more powerful than them, they often choose to run away with a miss, and if they are lucky enough to hit a monster that is more powerful than them, they will generally embark on the path of no return to escape, because they understand that magic fireballs cannot kill the enemy. But the Li Ji encountered today made them confused with their limited brain capacity, why could the ordinary-looking Li Ji block their magic fireball attacks, and after being hit by the magic fireball, he would lie on the grass and laugh.
However, after seeing Li Ji get up from the grass again and look unharmed, the four first-level demonic beasts were no longer confused. Especially after Li Ji stood up, without saying a word, he directly rushed at them and killed them, and his menacing posture scared them so much that they didn't even want to think about it, screamed, and turned around and fled in unison.
Seeing that the four first-level demonic beasts were about to escape, Li Ji, who was already preparing to kill, suddenly accelerated the blood qi in the meridians in his body, and the power of the strong blood qi was greatly increased, and Li Ji, who was doubly confident, hurried towards the direction of the four-headed first-level demonic beasts to escape.
In the front, there is a chase and killing, and in the back, there is a wildfire that has been ignited and has begun to spread in all directions. The young beast, which had been hiding in the weeds, walked out of the grass with a stupid face after seeing Li Ji and the four first-level demonic beasts running away.
The young beast still remembered Li Ji's advice and didn't let the four first-level demonic beasts see it, so he stayed in the dark and silently watched Li Ji and the four-headed first-level demonic beasts juggle. Even when it saw Li Ji being knocked away by the magic fireball, it didn't have the worry it had before, because it knew that after eating the Lingzhi, Li Ji could completely withstand the attack of the four first-level demonic beasts. Moreover, it was even wondering if Li Ji had deliberately let the magic fireball hit.
In short, no matter what, the young beast didn't have much interest in the fight between Li Ji and the four first-level demonic beasts, and the only thing it was interested in was the extra dishes that Li Ji had promised tonight. Now that they were both gone, the cubs who remained were a little hesitant. It was still thinking about whether to catch up, or stay here and wait for Li Ji.
Although the young beast was not interested in Li Ji's pursuit and killing scene. But after some thought (in fact, the young beast just thinks that Li Ji may get lost and can't find it, so tonight's add-on may be in the soup.) The young beast decided to follow along.
The flames burning on the grass were still spreading outward, and with the small mouth of the young beast that Li Ji had developed good fire prevention habits in the past few days, the flames that were spreading around were all torn off the ground and gathered in front of the young beast's eyes, and hundreds of flames were condensed into a small fireball under the control of the young beast, which was sucked by its open small mouth and swallowed into its belly.
The young beast that solved the fire scene pursed its small mouth, raised its little short legs, shook its little tail behind it, and chased after Li Ji more and more.
At this time, Li Ji, who was chasing after the four first-level demonic beasts, was a little furious, and when he was chasing on the grass before, because there were fewer obstacles, he had the power of flesh and blood to speed up the line faster than the four-headed first-level demonic beasts. Therefore, the distance between the two is slowly being narrowed, as long as this situation continues, it will be a matter of time before Li Ji catches up with the four first-level demonic beasts. But the bad thing is that the remaining distance of this smooth meadow is very short, and not far in front is a hill with a rising terrain. Therefore, when Li Ji narrowed the distance between the two to less than four meters, the four first-level demonic beasts jumped up the hill.
Seeing that the prey in his hand was about to fly, of course Li Ji did not agree, so he also chased after him and rushed up the hill. It's a pity that the terrain here is very unfriendly to Li Ji, his height is taller than the four first-level demonic beasts, and the more obstacles he encounters such as weeds and vines on the way to pursue, this mountain forest is the home of those first-level demonic beasts, and they who grow here are more familiar with and adapt to the environment here than Li Ji. Therefore, Li Ji, who originally had a speed advantage, lost his advantage in this hill chase battle, and he was on par with those first-level demonic beasts.
Without the speed advantage, it would be more difficult to catch up with those four first-level demonic beasts. Li Ji had no countermeasures for a while. Unless he forcibly overloaded his blood qi again, he would not be able to close the distance. But Li Ji felt that the cost of overloading the blood qi was too great, and now there was no Ganoderma lucidum to heal his injuries, and the damage to his meridians was not like those small injuries in his body, which would affect the progress of his cultivation. Therefore, Li Ji can only blindly chase now, and in the current situation, he can only fight for perseverance, and it depends on who falls first.
In this way, Li Ji chased behind, and the four first-level demonic beasts fled in front, and the distance between the two still made Li Ji grit his teeth.
A few minutes passed, and the first-level demonic beast that escaped slightly behind in front didn't know whether it was due to lack of physical strength or excessive panic, and its hind feet slipped and rolled down a distance of more than a meter, and finally stopped by the vines before stopping its fall.
The accident that occurred in the first-level demonic beast made Li Ji, who was still worried about the consumption of most of his mental power, his eyes brighten. Because he didn't expect this battle to turn into a protracted battle of see-saw, Li Ji, who had started the Blood Fury prematurely, had not much spiritual strength left at this time, and if he continued to chase it according to the current situation, he might only be able to hold out for less than ten minutes. Who knew that just when he had nothing to do and was about to run out of water, one of the first-level demonic beasts that escaped in front of him actually made a mistake. This time, Li Ji, who was still dull, was excited. The blood qi that was already running at high speed accelerated again, and Li Ji rushed out, further narrowing the distance between him and the first-level demonic beast that had slipped down.
The first-level demonic beast that was stopped by the vines noticed the abnormality behind him, turned his head and looked back, just saw Li Ji who was approaching, and was so frightened for a while that he panicked, and actually broke away from the direction in which the other three demonic beasts fled, and ran diagonally towards the bottom of the hill.
Seeing that the first-level demonic beast that was about to catch up was about to slip away from his hand again, Li Ji was of course unwilling. Immediately after him, he chased down the hill, and as for the other three first-level demonic beasts, they couldn't care so much at the moment.
At this time, although Li Ji was very close to the first-level demonic beast, it seemed that he could slash it under the sword with two more steps. But even those two steps cannot be crossed like a moat.
After chasing for more than ten seconds, Li Ji realized that it was not a way to go on like this, and it was likely that he would return to the way he was before, and he would not be able to catch up. At present, the route of the first-level demonic beast to escape is to run diagonally down the mountain, which is different from climbing the mountain at the beginning. Now Li Ji is standing on a high place, and this will also be his opportunity.
After some thought, Li Ji decided to give it a go.
Li Ji, who was still in pursuit, suddenly jumped up in the air and kicked out towards the first-level demonic beast that fled in front of and below.
Success and defeat are all under this foot.
