Chapter Seventy-Four: The Enemy

After walking in this underground labyrinth for a long time, Zongtian suddenly felt something, and his doubts also made him look at the top of his head. It is a dome that is not smooth above the spacious passage, although such a view was faintly detected in the previous vision, but the problem is this, obviously there is no light source overhead, how can Zongtian see clearly in this underground passage?

Walking to the edge of the rock wall, Zong Tian touched the rough rock wall with his hand, and as his hand approached, the light actually came through his fingers. It turned out that he could see clearly near the temple, not because of the hole in the top of his head, but because the rock wall was emitting a faint light. It can't be radiation, right? The sudden thought kept Zongtian away from the wall, but he was helpless about the fluorescence under his feet. couldn't help but smile bitterly, maybe he would starve to death here, how could he still have the time to care about what radiation or non-radiation, and he didn't have the strength to take care of it at all, should he fly? Even staying away is not something that Zongtian can do at this time.

Just when Zongtian was laughing at himself, a sudden sound came from behind. Zongtian turned back suddenly, but there was nothing behind him, but the sound of gasping was getting closer and closer. In the face of an unknown threat, it is better to hide first, right? But Zongtian looked at such a monotonous passage and was worried, where should he hide when he was so bare? Just as Zongtian hesitated, the gasp seemed to be closer, and based on the sound alone, Zongtian even thought that the thing had reached behind him.

Another abrupt turn, but still nothing. It was probably because of the echo in the cave that the sound was amplified, but it was precisely because of this that he could find such a threat, and if it were only with his loose vigilance, he might not be able to feel it when he was approached by something like a beast.

Although the danger is not yet imminent, there are problems in front of the sky. It's not just that there is nowhere to hide, this passage not only amplifies the respite of that thing, but the passage also gives the same treatment to Zongtian, but after just moving a little, Zongtian appreciates the other party's perception beyond himself. Even if it was just such a small sound, it made the danger behind him suddenly run, and in the face of such a result, Zongtian could only run in a panic.

Maybe in some ways, Zongtian's luck is also good, although he is likely to get lost in such a panic situation at this time, but the path in front of Zongtian has always been a single road, and the one chasing behind him seems to catch up with him in time in order not to let Zongtian go to a fork in the road. Having almost adjusted to the auditory error caused by the echo, Zongtian suddenly pulled out the short knife at his waist and turned to face the threat that was approaching him.

Sure enough, it was something like a beast, and looking at the four-legged animal in front of him, the sword in the sky was also in front of him. Although the soul beast in front of him looked a little like a dog, Zong Tian didn't dare to underestimate the fangs and claws that should belong to the wolf. Although he still retains his opinion on those humanoid soul beasts, in the face of such a beast, Zongtian directly treats him as a soul beast. Naturally, the people of the Baishan base will not let any real-world beasts enter here, even if it is really such a coincidence, the beast is still the enemy of the sky, but if it is really a beast, maybe the problem of food will be solved temporarily.

After confirming that it was only a soul beast that didn't seem to be powerful, Zongtian also had some suspicions of underestimating the enemy, and those cranky thoughts also made the short knife in his hand lower slightly. Different from Zongtian's slackness, the soul beast at this time had already tensed the muscles of his whole body, and seeing the slight flaw on the short knife, the wolf also suddenly pounced on Zongtian. This sudden attack startled Zong Tian, but with the weapon in his hand, he also slashed at the wolf's head.

I finally understood why Dad kept emphasizing that he was able to beat the dead soul because he had a sharp weapon to help. Not only did Zongtian's knife not cut the wolf's head, but even the wolf's skin was not cut, and there was an additional bloody wound on his own face.

He touched the scar on his face with his hand, and although it was not too deep, the blood was already on his cheek. The tension of oppression finally returned, and Zongtian stared directly at the soul beast in front of him. Sure enough, it is far superior to the existence of ordinary beasts, although the soul blade in his hand does not have the miraculous effect against the dead soul, but it is still a good knife with a sharp edge, but the unharmed wolf in front of him is what makes Zongtian dare not have any contempt anymore. It turned out that there were still some people who were in a hurry to go to the doctor and wanted to kill the soul beast directly, and Zongtian also held the slightest possibility, wanting to see if there was a real beast not far from the Baishan base, but now it seems that Zongtian can survive It seems to be a good result, and the matter of filling his stomach still has to lean back.

It seemed that he noticed Zongtian's different attitude, the wolf didn't attack again, he just stared at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see the flaw in Zongtian's actions again. At this time, Zongtian was already distracted, but when he was nervous, the wolf actually showed some distraction, although his eyes were still staring at Zongtian, but his gaze kept drifting to the side. Although everything that happened just now made Zongtian a little unsure if his weapon could hurt the soul beast in front of him, but in the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he also had to take it.

An arrow stepped forward, and the white blade of Zongtian's right hand also slashed at the wolf's neck. The wolf's wandering eyes finally refocused on Zongtian's body, and his claws slapped directly at Zongtian's blade at this time. Zong Tian naturally would not be naïve to think that he could kill the wolf with such a direct knife, and at this time, the black blade he hid behind his back also showed a little edge.

The contact between the white blade and the wolf's claw made a sound when the metal collided, and the black blade of Zongtian's left hand also slashed at the wolf's soft belly from the bottom to the top at this time. The black scimitar was held in the hand by Zongtian, and the blade with a curved edge became a raised tip. Although even if such an attack breaks through the wolf's defense, it will not have any disemboweling effect because of the completely non-sharp back of the knife, but at this time, Zongtian needs an answer even more, whether he can hurt that soul beast.

Seeing that Zongtian's immediate response was about to bring effect, he ignored one thing. The battle of the beast is completely dependent on the super long reaction and the wild instinct, although among the human beings, Zongtian may be the best in this regard, but in front of this wolf, Zongtian is also a little close to them.

The wolf's claws that were in contact with the white blade suddenly slashed to the side, and Zongtian's somewhat strange knife posture was also out of balance at this time, not only was his attack about to collapse, but even the wolf opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and bit towards Zongtian. It seemed that he was also a little anxious to know the answer to that question, and Zongtian reluctantly withdrew the white blade to block the wolf's mouth, while the black blade continued its previous trajectory.

The attack of the broken cauldron in exchange for the wolf's more fierce defense, should also be aware of the threat of Zongtian, the madness of the beast made Zongtian a little unable to see the wolf's movements, and the trajectory of the black blade was still affected after all.

What was supposed to be a moment of lightning and fire finally came to an end in a series of complex changes, and the man and beast who had been separated were also injured. Although the knife was a little off, the sharp tip of the knife still cut through the wolf's side, and a shallow wound appeared there. Compared to the wolf, Zongtian's side is a little miserable, after hanging colors on his face, Zongtian's right arm was hit by a wolf's claw again, and although the wolf's mouth did not bite him, the wolf's tooth also hung a wound on his shoulder. Although it can be seen from the injury that Zongtian has completely lost the upper hand, his weapon still injures him a lot when he hurts the soul beast, but looking at the bloodless wound, the plan to eat wolf meat has completely become impossible.
