Chapter 57: The Jedi Strikes Back
"What kind of fame is this guy doing, isn't it a dead end if he drags himself out of exhaustion?"
Dean was a little puzzled by Poplar's strange behavior at this time, and there was always a hint of disdain in his tone.
Cynthia also looked at the fleeing figure with curious eyes, and a look of doubt flashed on her charming face, obviously trying to figure out the intention of Poplar's approach.
On the contrary, Ada had a look of surprise and expectation, and whispered to herself in an unheard voice:
"This guy is going to break the boat."
The cat-and-mouse game lasted for more than 10 minutes, and the furious wolf king flicked his giant tail again and shot out a dozen spear-like spikes, overwhelmingly towards the weak figure in front of him.
Poplar was fortunate that he had previously hit one of the Wolf King's eyes, which not only affected his pursuit speed, but also the accuracy of the spikes that hit him was slightly different.
But this was enough for Poplar to find a flaw to dodge, so the wolf king's attack could only be returned again.
"Sure enough, the efficiency is better under high pressure."
Poplar looked at the amethyst in his right hand taken from the brain of an ordinary giant wolf, and the original size of a human head had shrunk by more than half.
In the more than 10 minutes that he was avoiding the wolf king's pursuit, he was actually absorbing the giant wolf's amethyst.
Yes, as long as he didn't change the meditation method in the second half, then he could naturally absorb the energy in refining amethyst, which he had tested when he first refined purple qi.
In fact, he had absorbed and assimilated the wolf's amethyst in the hour before he left the town's defense area, but it was still a little short of the breakthrough of Tianyan.
So now he has to try again, even if he can't break through, it would be excellent to improve the power of the dantian a little more.
After absorbing more than half of the giant wolf amethyst, Bai Yang also felt that the fullness in the dantian had strengthened again, not only making up for the part of the energy lost due to the previous battle, but also making the purple sphere with a diameter of more than one meter expand again.
"This kid ......"
Cynthia finally discovered the purpose of Poplar's non-stop escape, and her beautiful eyes lit up and her heart became more interested in Poplar.
Now she felt that even if Poplar didn't open up a pseudo-heavenly eye, it was definitely a guy worth paying attention to.
"It's a pity that the clairvoyant eye can't directly see through the state of the human heavenly eye or the pseudo-heavenly eye, otherwise it would be a lot less troublesome."
Cynthia thought to herself, and turned her head to look at Ada, who was looking forward to it, so this girl is more anxious than herself.
Looking at the man-wolf battlefield outside the chase circle, the mutants quickly solved the remaining giant wolves after paying the price of a small number of injuries because of the superiority in numbers and the reckless fighting attitude.
In order not to attract the attention of the wolf king, they pretended to be invincible at first and lured the wolves to a more secret place.
Without the instructions and layout of the wolf king, these creatures with low IQ easily fell into the trap once they were seduced, and were finally killed by everyone one by one.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
"In the same way, I avenged my brothers who died in ambush."
After Liu Yuting dug out the amethyst in the brain of a giant wolf, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The others were also relieved, even if they couldn't get out of this forest today, it would be okay to have no regrets.
"Let's go back and see what's going on."
After putting away the amethyst, Liu Yuting rushed back a little impatiently.
"I really envy Brother Bai." Jiu Ye looked at Liu Yuting's back with some eagerness.
"What a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks." Wei Dabao sighed on the side.
When everyone returned to the edge of the battlefield, they actually noticed that the running speed of the poplar was increasing instead of decreasing, and on the other hand, the behemoth behind it, although it seemed to be full of strength, but I don't know if it was tired of chasing or really powerless, and the speed at this time was slightly slower than before.
In this way, the distance between the two sides was quickly widened, and there was a gap of two or three hundred meters between the front and back.
But the next scene left everyone stunned.
I saw that the figure of Poplar suddenly stopped, and then sat on the ground to rest.
"Captain, this is... Beat yourself up? ”
"It's clear that you have an advantage in speed."
"Could it be that the power of the dantian has been exhausted, and you really can't run?"
“......”
Many people are worried at the same time, they are talking about it, although they want to go up to the rescue, but the distance is too far, and their own strength does not allow it at all.
Liu Yuting really wants to step forward and join Baiyang, even if she can't save him, what if she dies together? Anyway, aren't they all the same in the end?
Although she thinks so, Liu Yuting has always had another belief in her heart to support her.
Liu Yuting stopped the Ninth Master and Wei Dabao, who were about to take action, and said decisively:
"I believe him."
That's right, she believes that Poplar can always bring her unexpected surprises, from the beginning of knowing him to the present, it has always been, this is the belief she has always adhered to.
The two of them looked at the firm eyes revealed in Liu Yuting's beautiful eyes, and the steps they had just taken slowly retracted.
"Brother Bai, it's a man, please be strong." The Ninth Master prayed secretly in his heart.
But the wolf king naturally didn't have such an idea, and after seeing the humans in the distance sitting on the ground without any scruples, it only saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although the mutation has led to an increase in its IQ, it is still a brain circuit that is too simple for it to think otherwise.
Therefore, after being surprised for a moment at first, the wolf king did not rush forward to swallow the poplar in one bite, but instinctively approached the poplar with an unhurried pace like prey.
Walk slowly, trying not to make a sound, for fear of waking up the prey and letting him escape.
As everyone knows, the wolf king's instinctive actions have given the opponent enough respite, and it has also buried a fatal hidden danger for himself.
Until the last few tens of meters, the wolf king had completely stopped running, began to lower his body slightly, and slowly moved his seemingly light steps, step by step approaching the back of Poplar sitting on the ground.
Forty meters, thirty-five meters, thirty meters......
The wolf king is a few meters in one step, and the speed is actually not slow.
In the distance, Liu Yuting's palms had already oozed a trace of sweat, and her expression was extremely nervous.
The others were also breathing heavily, praying in their hearts that Liu Yuting's insistence was right, and it was really possible for Poplar to show weakness to the enemy, and then wait for the opportunity to fight back?
"This kid is dead." Dean gloated a little.
"How about a bet that if you lose, you'll go back to Taby?" Cynthia couldn't stand Dean's whiskering and open-mouthedness.
"Forget it." Dean stupidly admitted it, even if he won, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
Twenty-five meters, twenty meters......
Just when everyone was thinking about it, the wolf king finally approached within twenty meters of the poplar, and it was still glad that it was not noticed by the prey, and then lowered its body again, accumulating the strength of its final blow.
With a loud "swish", the wolf king's body instantly took off, and the giant mouth pounced towards the unsuspecting figure diagonally below.
Everyone froze their breath at this moment, staring at the tragedy that might happen in the next second without blinking.
There was a loud "rattle", it was the sound of the wolf king's giant teeth closing.
"It's over, it's over." The Ninth Master hid his face and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Swallow... Swallowed? Wei Dabao couldn't believe it.
Liu Yuting sat paralyzed on the ground, her eyes lost and her mind went blank.
The others were suddenly like deflated balls, and they no longer had the will to fight, and if a few more giant wolves came at this time, it was estimated that they would be able to wipe them all out.
"I'll just say ......"
"Haha!"
Dean was about to fall into the shaft, when a chuckle suddenly came from the place where the incident took place, and then a young figure with two knives and hands crossed over his chest came out from the back of a giant tree near the wolf king.
If it's not an aspen, who can it be?
And looking at his appearance, the paralysis of his left arm seems to have been eliminated.
"This is ......" Ada, who was hiding in the shadows, reacted first, looking at the figure in the field in disbelief.
Naturally, she was not surprised that Poplar was able to escape, but shocked by the way Poplar used.
"What's wrong?" Cynthia wondered why Ida had such a big reaction.
"I'm now sure that he's 100% the owner of a pseudo-eye."
Ida took a deep breath, and there was excitement in her eyes that could not be concealed.
