Chapter 143: Human-Beast Fight
The two beasts burrowed out of the low gate and stepped onto the blood-stained sand, the noise of the spectators outside the arena and the strong smell of blood in the air greatly stimulated their senses, causing them to quickly enter a predatory state. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the two big guys, the fighting arena has made careful planning and allocation of food, and the combination and quantity of food fed can always ensure that they will not become malnourished and emaciated, but they will never be able to eat enough...... This incessant way of being tormented by hunger makes them extremely bloodthirsty and ferocious.
The two beasts looked down and sniffed at the blood splattering from the ground, pacing a few steps, and let out a menacing roar at each other. But none of them acted rashly...... Although they were hungry, their sanity had not yet been burned, and they knew from each other's large and sturdy bodies that it was not easy to eat the meat of this distant relative opposite.
So they turned their gaze to Rhodes, the skinny target didn't seem to have much meat, but it was more than enough to stuff his teeth, and kill him first, as for who would eat it...... Wait for a fight to decide.
Rod slowly retreated to the edge of the field, nervously watching the two beasts' every move.
Of course, the boy had seen lions and tigers, but the last time he was standing Grom in the cage, and he even remembered the joke made by the great swordsman - you must not turn around and run when you encounter such beasts, they will attack the moment they see your back, you must face them, look them in the eye, so that not only can you live a few more seconds, but also die with more dignity.
He knew Grom's temper, and even if it was a joke, the man wouldn't take. Now that this trivia came in handy, the joke suddenly became not funny at all, and the two beasts were in unhindered contact, but there was no reliable figure around them, not even a working weapon.
The feeling of approaching this beast in two different situations is completely different, and the most intuitive experience is in the size of the other: from a distance from the field, the tiger and the lion seem to be large cats, but you will only realize that they are so large when you have experienced the sensation of them pressing towards you step by step.
The mane on the lion's neck was so large that it was impossible to distinguish its true size, but the tiger did not have such fancy ornamentation. Its body is slender and slender, three meters long, one meter high at the shoulder, and even if its forelimbs do not leave the ground, it only needs to raise its head to reach the height of Yin'er after turning into a human form...... Beneath the beautiful fur covered with stripes, the muscles contract and stretch with the movement, and you can understand how explosive it is at a glance.
Rhodes had been shocked by the size of the monster hunter's female demon wolf in Shadow Town, but each of the two beasts he faced this time was no less than the size of the demon wolf Nakarina. These two are contenders for the title of King of Beasts, and the lion and tiger are indeed among the strongest beasts, except for the powerful demonic species that live in the depths of the no-man's land. Rhodes had never encountered a human with more strength than himself, but this time against the King of Beasts with claws and fangs, would he still be able to have an advantage in physical fitness?
Even if he counts the strengthening of the body by the fighting spirit, he is not absolutely sure, and the audience outside the arena also held their breath. The two beasts were slowly approaching the boy, and as the three got closer and closer, the difference in size became more and more obvious in comparison. This young man is certainly extraordinary, he can deal with a fierce beast, everyone can still believe it, but two?
......
The tiger likes to attack from behind, and people like to use it as a metaphor for an assassin, but unlike a real assassin, it is so strong that it can be attacked head-on. It was the first to probe it, reaching a certain distance before making a short leap while raising one of its front paws to slap the human in front of it. Just looking at the action is really a bit like a fight between cats, but whether it is speed or strength, this is just a tentative blow and it is stronger than the attack of any fighter that Rhodes has faced before - after all, predators rely on strength and speed to eat, and after thousands of years of natural selection, their physical fitness is much higher than that of omnivorous humans, and it is far beyond the degree that exercise can catch up.
If an ordinary person was here, he was afraid that just this tentative claw would be the winner of the battle, but Rhodes was not an ordinary person, he lightly retreated to avoid this claw amid the nervous inhalation of cold air from countless spectators, and quickly retreated sideways along the wall of the arena. When the beast detects the void, it will launch an all-out attack, and he must come up with a solution as soon as possible.
The lion approached slowly from the side but did not come up directly to help, which was the only good news, as two species that did not know each other well, they would not cooperate, and if the lion rushed up, it was only afraid that the tiger would turn around and drive away the attack...... So it pressed into Rod's retreat, ready to wait for an opportunity to take the prey.
The tiger's several tentative slaps and scratches were nimble dodged by Rhodes, and after a few times he finally lost his patience, let out a roar that shook the ground, and jumped up and pounced on the boy. It was too late to say that it was too late, and the lion tacitly launched the first blow at the same moment, it had no superhuman intelligence, and the plan was very simple: if Rod still dodged backwards to avoid the tiger's pounce, he would retreat into his mouth, and if he was pounced by the tiger, he would have to hurry to grab the prey.
The lion's plan failed, and the reason was simple: Rhodes was neither pounced by the tiger nor continued to retreat, but crouched and rolled over, jumped under the leaping tiger's body, and even kicked the tiger at the right moment of turning, kicking the tiger into a roar, and the thunderclap rattled the ears of the spectators close to the fence.
This roll not only let Rhodes out of danger, but also let the two beasts collide together, the tiger suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes but a lion appeared, plus the stomach was kicked and hurt so much that he couldn't do it, and he was confused and regarded the male lion as the enemy who had just attacked him, and with another long roar, the two front paws danced like a windmill into a phantom, regardless of the desperate face of the other beast, the lion parried a few times, the strength was slightly inferior, and he took the initiative to admit that he retreated, and barely let the tiger regain consciousness.
After a few misses, the Antaili giant tiger's temperament suddenly disappeared, and he turned around and stared at Rhodes fiercely, tensed his muscles, and after a moment he shot out like a spring, his four claws raised a large amount of smoke and dust on the ground, and rushed towards the human boy with a rainbow of momentum, and the latter twisted his body deftly, dodging the attack gracefully like a bullfight, and the tiger who pounced on the air again roared unwillingly, and attacked again without believing it.
The beast instinctively realized its lack of agility, and no longer used the trick of jumping to be easily dodged, but stepped on the ground and steadily pressed towards Rhodes, only relying on its forelimbs to sweep left and right from time to time, forcing the boy to retreat and being chased all over the field.
The audience was worried or excited to make a noise, watching a fellow animal being chased by such a beast is thrilling enough, the wonderful thing is that it has not been caught up, as the distance between humans and beasts sometimes opens and sometimes approaches, the hearts of the spectators are sometimes hanging and sometimes falling, the excitement continues, the people in the circle are still unscathed, and some people in the audience who have bad hearts are stimulated to fall, and there is chaos inside and outside the arena.
(This big cat wants to fight with himself?) Rhodes dodged again to avoid the tiger's pounce, he was full of physical strength, even if he fled in a hurry for a day and a night, he didn't feel exhausted, if he was one-on-one, he could consume the tiger to death...... But there was another beast staring at the side, which made the chase as thrilling as walking a tightrope, and when the lion couldn't hold back and pounced, the tightrope broke.
It can't go on.
Rod thought so, and continued to retreat, secretly condensing his magic power, the faint light of the spell flickering in the palm of his right hand.
