Chapter 15: The Beast

When both feet stood on the edge of the woodland, Shu Kui's heart felt like something had been hammered hard, and then he faintly heard the sound of the telephone ringing.

"How?" Jin Luoluo also came over, looking a little nervous.

Shu Kui made a silent gesture and closed her eyes to try to distinguish them, but the sound was intermittent, and it took several minutes for her to find a general direction.

"What does that passage look like?" She asked as she walked, trying to lighten the mood.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it." Jin Luoluo followed behind, still nervous, looking back and forth from time to time.

Because they had to stop to confirm the origin of the sound, they traveled very slowly, but what made Shu Kui feel relieved was that the further inside, the louder the phone rang, and the longer it lasted, so although the road in the forest was very difficult to walk, she was still full of joy and high feelings.

However, Jin Luoluo looked much more wolf, the hem of the long skirt was cut in several places, his arms were covered with blood marks from tree branches, his hair was stuck with fallen leaves, and his face was covered with sweat.

"Take a break." Shu Kui occasionally turned around, only to realize that his heart was like an arrow and almost dragged down the eldest lady.

Jin Luoluo nodded weakly, and didn't care whether it was dirty or not, and his image was not pictographic, and sat on the ground.

"You're right, it's safer during the day." Shu Kui picked up a wide leaf and fanned the wind for her.

Jin Luoluo didn't make a sound, and wiped the sweat from his face with the back of his hand.

"Will you get lost when you go out?" Shu Kui looked around and felt that everything looked the same, and he couldn't help but worry.

"No, don't worry." Jin Luoluo gently pounded his calf.

"We should be there soon." Shu Kui's words are both comforting and factual.

Jin Luoluo lowered his head as if he hadn't heard, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shu Kui wanted to ask what was wrong, but when she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a "shhh

"There's something." She was almost whispering.

Shu Kui listened carefully, but except for the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves, the occasional bird call or two, and the occasional phone ringing from time to time, he didn't find anything else.

The two stayed quietly for a long time, but Jin Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief first, stretched out a hand, and said, "Probably I heard it wrong, let's go." ”

Shu Kui pulled her up, and was just about to identify the direction of the phone ringing again, when she suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing behind her.

In an instant, she realized that there must be something behind her, and at the same time, completely instinctively, she crouched down.

Immediately, after a shadow passed over her head, she saw that not far in front of her stood an animal taller than a horse, with spots like a leopard, a short tail, a fuller body than a leopard, a face more like a cat than a leopard, and black hair standing up on the tips of its ears.

"Lynx...... Lynx ......" Jin Luoluo was so frightened that he stammered.

Shu Kui gasped and slowly stood up - the lynx, she had seen it, but such a big lynx was really unprecedented.

And the lynx, also standing still, bowed its head slightly, its yellow eyes staring at the two people in front of it, let out a low whine in its throat, revealing a pair of long, sharp fangs.

"We can't escape, it's too fast." Jin Luoluo trembled slightly, and finally said a whole sentence.

"What then?" Shu Kui's limbs gradually became cold and numb.

"I'll deal with it." Jin Luoluo took several deep breaths, mustered up his courage, and stood in front of Shu Kui.

Shu Kui was completely overwhelmed, his mind was almost blank, and even the ringing of the phone seemed to be far, far away.

Jin Luoluo confronted the lynx for a few seconds, and began to murmur something in his mouth, Shu Kui couldn't see her expression, but he could feel it, and her voice began to change slowly.

"Go." There was a majesty in Jin Luoluo's tone that had never been seen before.

The lynx was stunned and did not move.

"Go!" Jin Luoluo repeated loudly.

In an instant, there seemed to be a hint of timidity in the lynx's eyes, but soon, its eyes turned into hesitation, and after the hesitation, it turned out to be contempt.

"Don't go yet!" Jin Luoluo seemed to drive away, as if urging.

The lynx lowered its upper body, kicked its two hind legs, and roared and pounced on Shu Kui.

Shu Kui's head "buzzed", his whole body stiffened, and he didn't know whether to run or hide.

"Get down!" Jin Luoluo straightened his voice and shouted.

Shu Kui hurriedly subconsciously lowered his body and dodged the fangs, but he couldn't dodge the sharp claws, and his shoulders suddenly became bloody.

"Quick, I...... I can't get rid of it. Jin Luoluo came over, picked up Shu Kui and ran.

The scorching pain made Shu Kui unable to think about anything, so he could only run deep and shallow into the woods.

Of course, the lynx will never let go of its prey that is about to reach its mouth, only to see it gently and skillfully climb the nearest tree, and after a few leaps, it will block its way again.

The two had to choose another direction, but no matter where they were headed, the lynx always stopped them.

After a few back and forth, Jin Luoluo was so tired that he was out of breath, and simply sat on the ground again: "This beast wants to tire us half to death first, and then bite off our necks." ”

Shu Kui couldn't run anymore, her mouth was dry and dizzy due to blood loss, she collapsed on the ground, and she couldn't even sit still.

Jin Luoluo let her lean on himself and called her softly.

Shu Kui's eyes were dark, and he wanted to agree, but he couldn't.

At this time, Jin Luoluo began to murmur something again, and the lynx also roared lowly, and Shu Kui was groggy, as if they were talking.

"Crazy, get out of here!" In the end, for some reason, Jin Luoluo was shocked and suddenly pulled away.

Shu Kui lost his support and immediately fell to the ground, feeling a strong wind blowing on his face, and his ears were full of chaotic footsteps, human and beast.

She struggled to open her eyes, and vaguely saw that there was a short knife in Jin Luoluo's hand at some point, and it was fighting with the lynx.

This lynx is indeed very smart, when attacking, it picks some tricky angles, and its movements are extremely agile, and it almost hurt Jin Luoluo's vital point several times, but fortunately, Jin Luoluo has more or less practiced, so he did not die immediately, but there were many deep and shallow wounds on his body.

After nearly a hundred rounds of fighting with one man and one beast, the lynx got impatient, so he repeated his tricks, climbed the nearest big tree again, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Jin Luoluo didn't dare to relax in the slightest, clenched the short knife, and looked up at the branches and leaves.

The trees in the forest grow very well, they are all tall and dense, and with the protective color of the lynx, once you go up to the tree, it is as if it is invisible, and there is no way to find it.

Jin Luoluo's body turned around a few times, the sweat on his forehead slowly flowed, and he couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart, regretting that he usually didn't work hard enough, so that now, being bullied by a beast is so frightened.

Shu Kui was lying on the ground, scared to death, but also regretted and blamed himself, feeling that it didn't matter if he died, if he affected Jin Luoluo because of this, he was afraid that he would have an uneasy conscience in the next life.

And just as they were thinking about their hearts, there was movement in the tree.

Jin Luoluo immediately noticed it, but he was still half a beat slower, and the moment he turned around, the lynx had already pounced like lightning.

Shu Kui was so frightened that his whole body softened, and he thought, it's over, it's all over.

However, the expected splattering scene did not appear, and although Jin Luoluo was pressed under his claws, he raised his hands and clamped the lynx's neck hard.

Shu Kui's heart suddenly hung high - now, it is purely about whose strength is greater, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Jin Luoluo will be defeated.

But once again, to her surprise, Jin Luoluo was far less weak than she imagined, and her will to survive forced her to do her best regardless of a single qiē, so that the lynx rolled her eyes, and she couldn't break free if she wanted to, and after a few minutes, she fell down softly.

Letting out a sigh of relief, he pushed the lynx aside, rolled over and rode onto its back, twisting his hands vigorously and turning the lynx's head one hundred and eighty degrees. After that, as if he was still angry, he came down to find the short knife that he had just lost, and beheaded the lynx one by one.

Shu Kui was stunned and almost didn't believe his eyes.

"How are you?" And Jin Luoluo, who had done this qiē, walked back with his hands covered in blood.

"I ...... It's okay. Shu Kui was still in shock, "You...... You...... You ......"

Jin Luoluo looked at her with a shocked expression, looked down at himself again, picked up a few leaves and wiped his hands: "I'm okay too." Don't be afraid, my family is full of wrestlers, and my strength is genetic. ”

"Your strength is really strong......" Shu Kui finally came back to his senses a little.

Jin Luoluo let out a sigh of relief and sat down beside her: "I'm tired, let's rest for a while before leaving." ”

Shu Kui nodded--she was going to leave now, and she couldn't walk.

Both of them were panting with their backs against the tree, and the body of the lynx was not far away, and it was very bloody and shocking.

Jin Luoluo didn't want to look at it anymore, so he lowered his head and tore the hem of his skirt, made a long strip of cloth, and bandaged Shu Kui's wound.

"I don't know where I'll go out of the passage." In his ears, the phone rang again, and Shu Kui endured the pain and started talking.

"What are you going to do when you return to the world?" Jin Luoluo was light-hearted, trying not to hurt Shu Kui.

"Let's go to the police station." Shu Kui's first reaction was to ask the police for help.

"Is someone going to help you?" Jin Luoluo didn't know what the police station was, and he didn't want to ask.

"Probably." Shu Kui is not sure, he just wants to return to the world first.

"It's good to see your family." There was envy in Jin Luoluo's tone.

"yes, I don't know what happened to them." Shu Kui couldn't be happy, and he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Wrap it up, let's go." Jin Luoluo patted her arm, "When you get there, try your best to find a medical officer." ”

Shu Kui agreed, and stood up with great difficulty holding on to the tree: "You go back, I don't think it's far away." ”

Jin Luoluo also stood up and patted the soil on his body: "I sent it here, and I don't care if I walk a little more." ”

When Shu Kui heard this, he was very grateful, so he no longer shirked, and set off again in the direction he had agreed before.
