Chapter 37: A Desperate Situation
Looking at the endless gloomy forest, Ling Tian smiled bitterly.
It's been a few days since I fled underground, and I still don't know why the ghost town was destroyed. And after Ling Tian left the underground, he also found some supplies from the ghost city ruins, and set off again with the determination hidden in his heart.
To be honest, this kind of atmosphere in the forest always feels a little weird. Depression, dullness, always haunting the mind no matter what. It's as if there are always a few eyes staring at you behind the shady trees, and there is a little coldness in your eyes.
It's not a pleasant feeling. The wind that blew from time to time also carried a kind of gloom, which gave Ling Tianqi goosebumps. If he could, Ling Tian still wished that he would be able to walk in the sunny and vibrant forest, not as uncomfortable as he was now.
Walking straight down the gloomy forest, Ling Tian always felt that something was wrong. Stopping, Ling Tian carefully looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual. Ling Tian frowned, there was always a lingering creep in his heart, and the feeling of being stared at had not weakened in any way. It should be said that the illusion at the beginning has become a reality!
Ling Tian was silent on the surface, and he already had a few more eyes in his heart. Suddenly, Ling Tian ran madly in one direction, as if something was chasing him.
"Whoosh~!" The sound of breaking the air came, and realizing that something was really following him, Ling Tian stopped and turned around.
The four ghouls looked at Ling Tian with some surprise, as if they didn't expect Ling Tian to be able to find them, they thought they were hiding well, but they didn't know why Ling Tian was able to find them.
In fact, Ling Tian hadn't noticed them, the escape just now was completely acting. If there was really something chasing him, then seeing Ling Tian running away would definitely wonder if he was exposed, and then catch up without thinking, and if there was nothing, it would naturally be a different matter.
Facts have proved that Ling Tian's acting is still very successful. It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was four ghouls who were following him!
With a solemn expression, he took a step back, Ling Tian's eyes stared at the four ghouls in front of him. The body bowed slightly, maintaining a high level of vigilance. I believed that as long as the four ghouls on the other side made the slightest move, Ling Tian would turn around and run away without hesitation.
However, Ling Tian's thought was only raised for a moment, and it was strangled in the bottom of his heart. I saw that the four ghouls on the opposite side suddenly dispersed, faintly forming a circle of encirclement, sealing all of Ling Tian's retreats. Ling Tian, who realized that he might miss the best opportunity to escape, felt slightly bitter in his heart, and even the sadness of Yashan's arrest was washed away a lot.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Tian's eyes no longer had any distracting thoughts, his heart was empty, and his eyes gradually became firm. "Since you can't escape, let's fight!" There seemed to be a voice in his heart that had been influencing Ling Tian, and he couldn't help but think of the first conversation with Qi Shen in his mind, "There is no way back, if you don't fight, you will die!"
The ghouls on the opposite side had a second-order second-order, a first-order ninth-level, and two first-order seventh-level, but Ling Tian only had a first-order seventh-level! If it was a heads-up, Ling Tian might not be able to beat any of them, let alone the current battle with this kind of strength that was not at the same level at all.
Without any hesitation, Ling Tian knew that he would definitely not be able to wait for them to shrink the encirclement, whether it was to fight or run, he could only take advantage of the moment!
The seventh-level ghoul was visibly stunned, obviously not expecting Ling Tian to suddenly burst out at this time. In a panic, the ghoul could only raise his hand, ready to use his hand to receive Ling Tian's attack.
But at the moment when Ling Tian was about to collide with the ghoul, the forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. Holding back the feeling of his body being torn, Ling Tian actually ignored the inertia, and his body instantly retreated! The sound of the clothes cracking came, if Ling Tian hadn't retreated in time, I believe it wouldn't have been just a matter of clothes being damaged.
Looking at the highest-ranking ghoul with an indifferent gaze, Ling Tian secretly said in his heart that it was a pity. If it weren't for the fact that this ghoul also followed Ling Tian at the moment of movement, I believe that that rank 7 ghoul would definitely not have had a good time when he was caught off guard!
Falling back to the same place, the highest-ranking ghoul saw that the blow was unsuccessful, and there was no shame or anxiety, and there was a dangerous glint in his greedy eyes. Specifically, it's like the hunter staring at his prey. The ghoul barked at the seventh-level ghoul monster, not so much as a reminder as a mockery.
The seventh-level ghoul lowered his head and let out a weak cry, the shame in his voice that anyone could hear. Immediately after, the ghoul raised his head, and then looked at Ling Tian, his eyes were already full of fierce light! I believe that as long as there is a chance, that ghoul will definitely tear Ling Tian to pieces!
Looking around vigilantly, Ling Tian's brain was running at high speed, looking for a way out of the crisis. However, the ghoul obviously had no intention of letting Ling Tian rest, just like a beast, the first-order ninth-level ghoul swooped down on Ling Tian!
Because it was his back, Ling Tian didn't see the movements of the ghouls behind him, and he secretly wondered why the three ghouls in front of him didn't attack. Suddenly, Ling Tian seemed to remember something, and the sense of crisis in his heart kept magnifying. Without any hesitation, the blue light on Ling Tian's body flickered, and he fell forward violently, just dodging this sharp blow!
Before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the sense of crisis in my heart did not weaken in the slightest. There was a whistling sound in his ears, Ling Tian hurriedly rolled to dodge the attack of the other ghoul, and then, without any pause, Ling Tian propped his hands on the ground, once again dodging the third ghoul's horizontal grasp. However, this was not over yet, just when Ling Tian just thought that he could pause, the highest-ranking ghoul in his field of vision had already rushed in front of him unconsciously!
Ling Ling Ling shuddered, Ling Tian gritted his teeth, and his waist was forced, he actually used an iron plate bridge to dodge this fatal blow!
Ling Tian leaned back against the tree, his body shook, "Poof!" suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking a little more tired, gasping for breath. Obviously, this series of dodges just now was definitely not easy for Ling Tian! If it weren't for the fact that the elven physique would be much stronger in terms of perception, physical strength, and toughness in the forest environment, it was very likely that Ling Tian would not even be able to dodge the first blow.
However, even the physique of the elven clan was not enough to support Ling Tian to complete the series of actions just now, it was completely ignoring inertia and carrying that kind of high load to complete! And this not only requires a body with high physical strength and toughness, but also a powerful brain that can process and decompose this series of actions in an instant! It can be said that Ling Tian was able to dodge this series of attacks entirely by virtue of a kind of instinct and responsiveness, and these factors added up to form the current scene.
Obviously, the highest-ranking ghoul must be the big brother of these ghouls, and if it weren't for this ghoul, Ling Tian believed that he would definitely be able to escape from the pursuit of the remaining three ghouls quickly. After all, Ling Tian was not the powerless ordinary elf he had when he first came to Nednor.
There was no attack, on the contrary, the highest-ranking ghoul actually commanded the other three ghouls to surround Ling Tian again, and did not attack, just looked at Ling Tian.
Seeing this, Ling Tian didn't have a little joy in his heart, but instead felt a chill that penetrated his heart. The wisdom of this ghoul was actually no less than that of a human! This was the first thought that flashed through Ling Tian's mind.
Looking at the ghoul again, Ling Tian suddenly noticed the difference between this highest-ranking ghoul and the other three. He's just like an ordinary human!
As mentioned before, high-level ghouls can control Katsuko and Hergo, and under normal circumstances, they can be said to be basically the same as humans, and they will only be unconsciously revealed when eating. Actually, it's not just the high level here, it's the same thing. That is only the case among ghouls who are relatively pure, or pure.
And generally this kind of ghoul, the purer the bloodline. His talent, IQ, will also be higher. Obviously, Ling Tian's character in disguise can also be said to be quite good.
