Chapter 43: The Tooth Beast in the Water (2)
"Phew!"
Because the skin of the beaver beast was not as hard as that of the Great Boar King, Wen Long's light bone knife stabbed into the shoulder of the beaver beast from behind without encountering much resistance, but just as Wen Long was about to take advantage of the situation and expand the wound, the beaver beast suddenly turned around and slapped at Wen Long with its wide claws.
Although the beaver beast's claws were very sharp, Wen Long had expected this slap to come, so as soon as the beaver beast turned around, Wen Long was ready to dodge immediately.
But Wen Long found that he couldn't dodge at all!
If it was on land, then the agile Wenlong only needed a roll to dodge it, but this was not on land but in the river. In addition, Wen Long's body is already shorter than that of humans, and the shallow water area where Catherine can step on the bottom of the river is enough for Wen Long to submerge the entire body, so it is impossible for Wen Long to quickly dodge when his feet can't step on the bottom of the river!
"Oops!"
Wen Long, who couldn't dodge, could only take this blow hard, "Bah! If it weren't for the large wild boar skin armor on Wen Long's body that absorbed most of the damage for Wen Long, Wen Long would have already left five bright red blood marks on the beaver beast's claws now.
But fortunately, just when Wenlong was attacked by the beaver beast, Catherine, who had been pushed down in the water, also came out of the water again. Although Catherine choked a lot of water because she had just been thrown to the bottom of the river by the beaver beast, Catherine, who realized that the situation was critical, still did not care about resting, and immediately gasped for breath while running towards the shore with all her might.
"Fortunately, this stupid woman finally came out, and my slap was not in vain, but ......" Seeing Catherine escape, Wen Long was also a little relieved, but seeing the huge beaver beast running in his direction again, Wen Long felt a special headache.
"It seems that this is no longer something that can be solved with a slap in the face...... The knife that was just inserted into its shoulder has already made the other party completely angry! Meow! ”
Considering that Wen Long was in an absolutely disadvantageous situation in the water, Wen Long's first reaction was to escape, but no matter how he paddled with his claws, Wen Long only saw that the beaver beast that was familiar with the water was almost very easy and caught up with him.
"Sure enough, can't you run away?" Wen Long covered his head with his hands, ready to resist the beaver beast's claws that were about to shoot down again, but suddenly, Wen Long heard Catherine's voice.
"Mr. Cat, be careful!"
"Careful?"
Wen Long, who seemed to realize something, hurriedly buried his entire body in the water, and then heard a violent splash and exploded instantly. Wen Long knew that it didn't seem to be caused by the beaver beast's claws.
With a "bang", under the pressure of the giant bone sword, the surrounding river water stirred up waves seven or eight meters high, but Catherine's sword did not hit the beaver beast, but smashed it less than half a meter away from the beaver beast and Wenlong.
Unlike when she hunted the Great Boar before, this blow did not hit the Beaver Beast, not because Catherine had a bad crosshair, but because Catherine saw the Beaver Beast's claws and was about to slap at Wen Long. So before she reached the range of her attack, Catherine unleashed the vertical attack that she had just learned not long ago!
But just like that, Wen Long felt that his body was being pushed by the waves and rolled several times, which showed the power of Catherine's blow. When he finally stabilized his figure and surfaced, what Wen Long saw was the back of the beaver beast gradually moving away.
"Ran away? But also, when you encounter an opponent who can smash seven or eight meters high waves in the water with a single blow, even a beaver beast will be a little jealous......"
Seeing the beaver beast in the distance, Wen Long breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to Catherine on the side, and found that Catherine was holding her giant bone sword in her hand at this time, breathing rapidly, but her body was naked, only the water-soaked hair was scattered and clinging to her body, showing Catherine's hurried response just now. It can be seen that after Catherine returned to the shore, she also rushed to rescue Wenlong immediately with her big sword, and there was no time to put on her big boar skin armor in this hurry.
"It's really ......," Wenlong felt a little angry.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cat......," Catherine said apologetically.
"Meow, don't say I'm sorry to Uncle Ben, you're sorry Uncle Ben has too many places......" Wen Long said a little angrily, "You know, it's our luck that you can scare that beaver beast away just now, otherwise if you really fight, I don't know what will happen, meow!" ”
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Cat, if I hadn't willfully said that I wanted to take a bath, I wouldn't have become like this......"
"Sorry, did it work? Do you know what would happen to us if the beaver beast didn't run away and attacked us in turn? In the water we are no match for it at all! And you don't have any armor on you now, you know what happens if you get hit by the claws of the beaver beast? ”
While speaking, Wen Long walked to the shore with difficulty, fighting in the water is not Wen Long's forte, not to mention Wen Long's hair, once it encounters water, it is easy to absorb and store water, and it is also easy to increase the resistance of the body in the water, making the body become heavy, which makes Wen Long's movement in the water extremely difficult.
And Catherine saw Wen Long so angry for the first time, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she was silent, ready to be reprimanded by Wen Long.
After all, even a novice like Catherine knows how powerful the beaver beast's claws are, and if that claw hits her body just now, then the beaver beast's claws will easily tear apart its skin and muscles, and even shatter its bones together!
In this case, even if you don't die, you will definitely be seriously injured. Catherine understands that all this is caused by her own willfulness.
Seeing Catherine like this, Wenlong was like seeing a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for his parents to reprimand him, and his originally angry mood began to slowly calm down.
"Forget it, I can't blame this woman for this, I know that this Xiaofeng Valley is the habitat of beaver beasts, but I didn't take this into account. Focus only on the shore, but ignore the threat underwater. In this way, my experience as a hunter is still too confined to the game itself......"
Thinking so, Wen Long walked up to Catherine's side.
"Mr. Cat......"
"It's good to know it's wrong...... Rest well today, and we'll kill it tomorrow! Wenlong said.
