Chapter 42: The Decisive Battle (Part 2)
Bull entered the arena with his meteoric axe in one hand, and he looked at Red, who was much thinner than him and only up to his shoulder, with disdainful eyes.
Rhett's previous competitions, he watched them all, there was really nothing outstanding, nothing more than relying on his leather armor and helmet to exchange injuries with opponents, the style of play was simple, and there was no threat to himself who was also protected by leather armor.
Red is also looking at his opponent at close range, Bull is as tall as Bell, and the power of the meteorite axe in his right hand, Red has already seen in the previous competition, and it is not easy to deal with.
The elder began, and both of them cheered up.
Red still plays a fighting style, keeping enough distance from his opponent to play to the advantage of his spear.
Bull, on the contrary, tried every possible means to get close to Red, using his strength and weapon advantage to fight Red in close combat.
Red knew that his oak spear would not be able to withstand the slash of the Meteorite Axe, so he only used the spear to strike and stab his opponent, trying to avoid being tough in the front.
Moreover, Red made full use of the depth of the field, moving around the field, consuming Bull's physical strength, after all, his large size and heavy axe were a great physical burden.
Things soon went in the direction Red had expected, and Bull kept chasing after him, occasionally slashing hard with an axe, because sometimes Red would get so close to him that he felt like he could get it with an axe.
In fact, this is all a little trick of Red, he is using this method to consume Bull's physical strength, he can see that Bull is the kind of person who has courage and no strategy, so if he uses his brain, there will be unexpected gains.
Red is also gradually reducing the amount of time he spends wandering, trying to engage Boole as much as possible, and he will use his spear to attack those parts of his body that are exposed to the outside of his leather armor, after all, their leather armor does not cover the whole body.
Their arms and legs were exposed to the outside of their leather armor, and he had a helmet to protect his head, which Bull also had unprotected, and he would often deliberately stab Bull in the top of his head with a spear to force Bull to be careful.
Although Bull didn't care much about Red scratching his forearms, thighs, and calves, it added up to a lot, and by the time Bull felt pain in his limbs, he was already scarred.
Red was no longer swimming, but was circling around Bull, dodging Bull's axe and beckoning Bull with his spear.
Bull's breath was already very rapid, he was gasping for breath, his steps were getting heavier, and the axe was no longer active, but only used to fend off Red's stabs.
Bull was very anxious, and he led his tribe back to the Lost Forest, just to participate in this year's Tribal Alliance Conference, in order to win the first place in the Patriarch Competition.
His ancestors had participated in the trial two hundred years ago, and they never returned, and according to the deliberations of the ancestors and elders, the tribe, which had been in serious decline at that time, had no choice but to move away from the grassland and move to a sparsely populated place to recuperate.
After two hundred years of recuperation and the encroachment and annexation of the surrounding weak tribes, they felt that their strength had recovered to its strongest, even more than it had been.
Their witch doctor even calculated that the altar trials in recent decades might be very rewarding, so the Baisen tribe managed to return to the ancestral land before the tribal alliance conference was held, and then sent the strongest team to participate in the conference.
Bull is tasked with reviving the tribe, so he feels like he can't lose, and he values winning or losing.
Although he is not very smart, he also has a lot of combat experience, so he also thought of a way to win in defeat.
When Red stabbed his left arm with his spear again, Bull didn't dodge and instead met him.
He accurately clamped the tip of the spear with his left arm, and despite the sharp pain caused by Red's desperate pulling, he clamped the spear tightly, and the great axe in his right hand slammed into the shaft.
He had all his strength this time, and the big axe of meteorite was indeed sharp, and with one axe, it split the shaft of the oak spear in two, and Rhett, who was struggling to grab the spear outward, lost his balance, and stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.
Bull was waiting for this moment, and after he split the spear, he threw himself at Rhett despite the pain in his left arm, and raised the big axe in his right hand, but he had the intention of killing.
Rhett naturally didn't sit still, he didn't expect Bull to use such a trick, he handed the remaining half of the spear to his left hand, propped it back on the ground, and his body immediately regained his balance.
So the axe that Bull slashed with all his strength did not hit Red, and Red stepped to the side, pulling out the meteorite knife behind his back with his right hand, and holding the half-cut spear in his left hand as a short club.
Bull attacked again and again, and his weapons changed from spears to long knives and short clubs, and Red could only parry them.
Although it was not carried with all his strength, and it also collided with the big axe many times, Bull's strength was really great, and even when his physical strength dropped severely, it still shocked Red's hands numb.
However, Red had preserved his physical strength after all, and he fought with Bull in close combat, and he did not fight with him, but still won with skill, and his leather armor was obviously of better quality than Bull's.
His long knife could cut a hole in Bull's leather armor, but Bull's axe could not cut through Red's leather armor, and it could cushion the strength of the axe.
This surprise discovery also made Rhett's offensive more and more fierce, and gradually let go of his own protection, anyway, Bull's axe could not help his own leather armor, and he was free to attack with all his strength.
Bull's physical strength was finally exhausted, he really couldn't keep up with Rhett's rhythm, and the big axe was already a little unable to lift, Rhett didn't want his life, after all, such a powerful tribe should not easily make enemies.
When Red tripped Bull with a stick and put the long knife to his neck, Bull threw in the towel.
Until this time, Red also let out a long breath, his physical strength was also very depleted, according to the rules of the conference, he should rest for a day, and then continue the final battle tomorrow.
However, the patriarch of the Bell tribe, Bell, faithfully fulfilled their agreement with the Wolf tribe, and he told Igor Witch Doctor that he would give up the final competition and withdraw from the patriarch competition.
In this way, Rhett, who no longer had any opponents, naturally became the final winner of the Great Assembly Patriarch Competition, and obtained the qualification to participate in the trial of the Altar of the Forest God.
Witch Doctor Igor told Red to get some rest, and tomorrow, the witch doctors of all the tribes will gather together to open the teleportation circle from the altar of the god of the forest to the land of trials.
Red also knew about this, and it was all told to him by the witch doctor of the Wolf tribe, and this teleportation circle was the last useful function that the altar of the god of the forest had retained.
Red still scolded himself, he made everyone missing, it's okay, it's easy to use a fart.
The crowd dispersed, and the last item of the assembly remained, but it had nothing to do with the vast majority of people.
Everyone is waiting to see the excitement of Rhett tomorrow, and everyone knows that the people who participated in the trial event will not come back alive, and Rhett must be no exception, right?
