Chapter 156: The Road to the Enemy is Narrow
They had been pushed to the top of the tree, and the places where they could dodge were getting smaller and smaller. Since the Battle of the Black Cats, Litian has not been forced to this extent.
The so-called extreme must be opposed. Litian was forced to the top of the tree, and the branches became thinner, which had a great impact on the sloth's huge body.
After discovering this weakness of the sloth, he was fortunate to come to the top of the tree.
When he was still very weak, he could easily walk on the branches, sit and lie down. What's more, the current strength has increased many times.
The sky was on the canopy of the trees, like flat ground, but the sloths were struggling, and between one plus and one minus, the previous speed advantage on the ground was once again established.
At this time, compared with before, although the crisis has not been resolved, it is much easier.
In the midst of the casual leaps of the past days, a clearing was vaguely found not far away. In the center of the clearing there was a large messy boulder that stood there.
Li Tian's eyes lit up, and he said to the dead soul: "There are several big rocks ahead, there may be a hiding place. Let's go and see if there's a place to hide. ”
The Dead Soul replied, "Yes, but what if there's no place for us to hide?" ”
Li Tian sighed and said, "That's no way, we have to find another big tree to deal with it." Now that our energy and physical strength are almost exhausted, it will be more than lucky to continue like this, so it is better to take a risk.
If I do find a place to hide, and by the time I have recovered my injuries and regained my strength, my chances of escaping will be much greater. Now my physical exertion is too high, and even if I have the chance, I will not be able to escape from the sloth. ”
The Dead Soul fully agrees with the decision made by Litian, and that's all it can be for now.
The two quickly reached a consensus, and after a false shot, they turned around and ran towards the target. The sloth let out a roar and chased after him.
Compared to this short sprint, the sloth is far less fast. I saw that the sky was blowing like a gust of wind on the canopy, and it was thousands of miles in an instant.
However, the sloth dared to climb and chase after choosing a trunk that could bear its weight. As a result, the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther.
However, the sloth is not too worried, it knows that its opponent has a leg injury, and this kind of fast running will not last. However, it has a long endurance, so its prey will not escape its pursuit.
But when it discovers the goal of the sky, it realizes that it may have made a stupid mistake. Litian was the first to arrive at the rocky area, which actually only had three or five large stones, and the rest were small gravel.
And the only ones that can become hiding places are a few large rocks. The other stones were too small to hide the two of them.
Li Tian immediately searched for it under several large rocks. At this point, the sloth is already very close, and whether it can find a hiding place before it chases after it is crucial for Litian.
These boulders have been weathered and polished very smooth. With the current physical condition of Litian, I can't climb up at all. He had to look down there to see if there was a gap to fit in.
He found a lot of gaps, but unfortunately none of them were suitable. They wanted a gap that could accommodate the two of them, and that the sloth couldn't hurt them.
But there is such a coincidence in the world that such a place can appear here. The sloth is already close at hand, if you can't find the target in a short time, it is impossible to escape, and then a battle is inevitable.
The terrain is open and surrounded by plains. Close to these boulders to maneuver with the enemy, the space is too small. The advantages of agility and speed will be greatly reduced.
If that happens, the situation of the two of them will be really dangerous.
Litian quickly made a judgment that there could be no delay. Now I have to go back to the forest again, relying on the terrain and then making plans.
After making up his mind, Litian was about to leave, but he heard the death soul cry in shock: "Litian, quickly move the rubble under the outermost boulder, I feel the breath of death there." ”
Out of trust in his comrades-in-arms, Li Tian didn't say a word, and quickly came to the outermost boulder. Several pieces of rubble were found at the base of the boulder, and there were indeed signs of loosening.
He mustered all his strength to lift the stones. Sure enough, under the rubble, a part of the hole was exposed. Overjoyed, Litian removed several other pieces of rubble, and at this time, the entire hole was exposed.
The entrance to the cave was just the right size, and it was the ideal hiding place that the two had been looking for. And just as the last piece of gravel was removed, the sloth arrived.
This fool obviously also saw the entrance of the hole, and saw that the prey in the mouth was about to run away, how could he be willing. It roared angrily, and contrary to its usual lazy habits, jumped up and pounced on Litian.
At this time, Litian was still holding a stone in his hand. These stones are said to be gravel, but each of them weighs four or five hundred pounds. If it weren't for Litian's excellent physical fitness, everyone else would definitely be able to move.
But now this gravel has become a burden for him, and he can't get into the cave with it. Even if you throw it away, there is not enough time, because the sloth is already coming at you.
If you can't dodge this pounce at this time, you will be forced to fight by the place, and it will be impossible to enter the hole again. Because the entrance to the cave is very small, people can only enter it by crawling. In this case, it is impossible to escape the attack of the sloth.
In desperation, Litian roared angrily, lifted the stone and pushed it out, and smashed it straight at the sloth. And the sloth also roared, and without hesitation, it took advantage of the huge inertia of the forward rush to push the boulder back.
The two sides were so close that it was impossible to dodge at this time. Li Tian had to protect his arms on his chest and took a hard blow. The strength of the stone after being counterattacked by the sloth was even greater than before, and it smashed firmly on Litian's body.
With a bang, Litian was smashed and flew out, spewing out a bloody arrow in the air. But Li Tian seemed to have already made a bamboo in his chest, and he saw that his body suddenly straightened up in the air, shooting straight towards the entrance of the cave.
With a whoosh, it sank into the hole. Followed by the sloth, its claws slashing through the soles of Litian's feet, it was really just a little bit before it could catch its prey.
The sloth, who had fallen short, let out an unwilling roar, screaming and stretching out his arms to dig into the hole.
It's a pity that it paid a heavy price for this irrational move. It ignores the strength of its opponents, and Litian's claws are not jealous.
By the time it screamed and withdrew its arm from the hole, the part that had penetrated into the cave was long gone, and only a pair of white bones remained.
This heavy blow made it no longer have the courage and ability to attack the two people in the cave. This has created plenty of time and a safe environment for them.
