The lion glanced at Zheng Shu, and a humanized smile of disdain flashed in his eyes, as if he was laughing at such a small point for daring to stop in front of him.

"I know it's unlikely, but there's nothing to lose by trying." Zheng Shu shrugged his shoulders, took a step forward, looked at the lion, and asked very seriously, "Can you let me touch your fur?" Of course, I can provide you with prey as payment. ”

Then halfway through, I saw that the lion's eyes changed, from the original sneer to anger, as if he felt humiliated by Zheng Shu, a prey, not only did not run away, but dared to approach him.

"Roar!"

The lion raised his head with a low roar, revealing the unusually sharp teeth in his mouth, and the muscles on his body exerted force, turning into a blurred figure and rushing towards Zheng Shu.

"Well, I know your attitude, it's a pity." Zheng Shu did not have the slightest fear, threw his mace aside, and met the lion rushing towards him like a heavy truck with his bare hands.

Boom!

There was a dull crashing sound, and a visible shockwave exploded, spreading rapidly in all directions from the point where the two collided.

【Testing......

[Instruction has been received, enhanced template: Lion naming completed.] 】

"Perfect accomplishment of the goal." Looking at the sharp claws that were close at hand, Zheng Shu had a smile on his face.

"So, my goal is accomplished, goodbye!"

Taking the initiative to take a step back in the battle of strength, Zheng Shu allowed the lion's sharp claws to slash into his chest, and his leg kicked the lion in the abdomen the moment it lost its balance.

Shhh

Bang!

Zheng Shu looked at the wound on his chest and was a little surprised: "Hiss...... Such sharp claws? ”

He had already turned on the dragon bone state in advance, and dragon scales had grown on the surface of his body, and he also used the magic power he obtained from Vera to gather mana into the scales to increase his defense as much as possible.

Even so, when facing the lion's claws, Zheng Shu felt that his defenses were like they were made of paper, and they didn't cause any protective effect at all, and even the carapace-like keel in his body didn't stop the claws in the slightest. If Zheng Shu hadn't kicked it fast, the blow just now might have scratched his heart.

On the contrary, Zheng Shu's powerful kick just now did not cause any harm to the lion.

Although it looked like the lion's skin was fluctuating when he kicked it, the lion just shook its body and immediately got up after hitting the ground, without any signs of injury at all.

"Not only the epidermis, but also the internal organs and bones have strong defenses?" Zheng Shu licked his lips, and the super-fast healing was activated, quickly healing the deep bone-visible wound on his chest, "Yes, I'm very satisfied." But now isn't the time to play with you, sorry, I'm going to get out of here first! ”

After that, before the lion could fully get up, Zheng Shu quickly left the place and ran out of the forest with a catapult.

"Roar!! A roar full of anger suddenly came from behind Zheng Shu, and the terrifying sound even caused ripples in the surrounding air.

Seeing that he was actually tricked by the little insect in front of him, the lion was surprisingly angry, and running away in front of the beast was a sign of weakness, and once he showed weakness, these ferocious beasts would instinctively attack.

In the roar, the lion's muscles suddenly exploded, and with a furious momentum, it jumped high from behind Zheng Shu, and two huge claws blasted the air and pounced towards Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu just felt a flower in front of his eyes, and the lion that was still in the distance appeared in front of him, and the huge claws covered the field of vision and fell with a bang, and he only had time to raise his arms and cross them above his head to block.

The terrifying power and speed were so fast that the air in front of the claws appeared to ripple substantially.

The huge claws slapped Zheng Shu's body, and the huge size of the lion almost overwhelmed Zheng Shu's figure.

Rumble!

The moment it fell, the ground around Zheng Shu's body shattered, and the violent impact force lifted up the dirt in the sky, and even lifted a tree not far away.

"! Is this lion so fast in myths and legends?! ”

The sound of scolding came from the dust, Zheng Shu still maintained that defensive posture, but his feet sank into the ground more than a meter deep.

The sudden collision of forces made his face flush, but his tone was still full of neutrality, and he didn't seem to be hurt.

"Roaring ......" realized that his blow did not explode the bug, and the lion let out a low roar.

It also realized that the prey in front of it was a little different from the others. However, as the king of the jungle, it will not allow any creature to dare to provoke him.

So the lion's whole body once again erupted with a terrifying aura of power, and the two sharp claws with afterimages grabbed Zheng Shu below at a terrifying speed. This time was different from the last time, the lion deliberately exposed his claws during this attack, trying to tear the prey in front of him to pieces with his sharp claws.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The furious sound kept coming, and the substantiated air shock wave hurriedly exploded, and under the outbreak of terrifying power, the ground within a radius of more than ten meters began to shake and shatter, and there were countless earth bursts around the lion, as if there was an illusion that the earth was turning over.

Boom!

With the final sweeping blow, the huge force made Zheng Shu directly blown away, rolling on the ground for a long time before stopping.

- Stupid humans......

After venting his anger, the lion returned to that languid feeling, squatted on the ground, and licked his paws.

- In terms of feel, this prey is more resistant to beatings than other prey in the forest, but his claws are sharp enough to easily tear the scales off his prey, and now he is probably torn apart.

Lazily flicking the hair on his head, the lion looked at the slowly falling dust in the distance, and thought quietly.

Although it was not clear because of the dust, the lion could already imagine the image of blood gushing out.

"I've disappointed you, I'm still alive and well." A voice came from the dust, stopping the lion, who had planned to leave just like that.

Call!

A gust of wind appeared out of thin air, and the dust that was slowly settling was directly blown away by the terrifying force, revealing Zheng Shu who was standing in the middle, looking at his posture, it should be the wind he had just blown out of his subordinates.

Zheng Shu's current appearance looks extremely miserable, the clothes on his body have been completely shredded, his body is covered with blood, and there is a scar on his face that has not completely healed, which is rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shaking the bag in his hand and pouring the last bit of fried noodles into his mouth, Zheng Shu didn't chew much, and directly pressed the flour into his stomach with the peristalsis of his esophagus.

Looking at the somewhat dazed lion in the distance, Zheng Shu's face showed a terrifying smile: "You fought quite well just now, didn't you?!" Well, it's time for me! ”

……

……

"Then go and slay the lions of Nemea!" In the luxurious palace, King Eurystheus looked at the half-kneeling person under the throne with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, there was already a gap between the two sides, and now that he had found an opportunity, he was naturally going to die.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, even the surrounding courtiers had a commotion. The lion of Nemea was so famous that even those present had heard of it, and it was said that the army there had carried out many encirclements and raids, but the lion had completely defeated them.

Even the blood heroes formed a group to defeat it without success, and only a few people even returned alive.

And the most terrifying thing is that I have never heard of the lion being injured so far, and no amount of weapon seems to be able to inflict any damage on it.

King Eurystheus asked the other party to crusade against this lion, and he was sent to his death.

Compared to the commotion of the people around him, the people who were half-kneeling under the throne did not react at all.

His figure is extremely majestic, even if he is half-squatting, he can show a sense of oppression, and if he stands up, he is afraid that he will be more than 2.5 meters tall. The muscles on the body are bulging, the strong muscles can even allow the child to run freely on the arms and shoulders, and the thick palms can even grasp the waist of an adult with one hand.

He is none other than the most brilliant hero in the entire ancient Greek mythology: Hercules.

But now, Hercules is still half-kneeling under the throne as if he had lost his soul, because not long ago, he killed his own child in a curse madness.

In order to atone for his sins, he heeded the advice of the oracle of Delphi and came to his former enemy to clear his name.

After King Eurystheus finished issuing the mission, Hercules did not mean to object, but silently bowed to the other party and stood up and left the palace.

Looking at the figure of Hercules leaving, the king on the throne had an expectant look in his eyes, and he had already begun to wait to hear about Hercules' death.

……

……

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......

A dull roar continued to emanate from the depths of the jungle, and at first the creatures of the jungle would flee in terror, but after a few days of habituation, they were now immune to such sounds.

Rumble!

The fist and claw collided and erupted into a shockwave visible to the naked eye, ignoring the terrifying injury that almost split his fist in half, and Zheng Shu's leg suddenly lit up with a dark red light representing magical power.

The magic power that gathered together suddenly exploded, pushing Zheng Shu's feet forward like a jet, allowing him to complete an attack in a position where he could barely exert his strength.

Basic Mana Usage Technique: Mana Unleashed.

Boom!

The heavy blow hit the lion's abdomen that had just been exposed because of the jump, and the force was so strong that Zheng Shu's entire calf was not covered by the soft hair and skin.

With Zheng Shu's continuous strength, the lion's huge body was kicked out like a ball, breaking several big trees before stopping.

"Hoo ......"

Didn't catch up with the victory, Zheng Shu just stood in place and breathed heavily, with Zheng Shu's violent breathing, his physique as a dragon species was continuously absorbing magic from the atmosphere to make up for the physical exertion of the body, and the terrifying injuries on the fist were also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is this guy really a creature? The physical strength is a little too terrifying! After taking a few breaths, Zheng Shu finally recovered from his state of physical exhaustion. Seeing that the front got up again and shook his body, Zheng Shu, the lion who was not hurt at all, also felt a trace of helplessness.

It's been five days...... The battle between him and the lion had been going on for five whole days.

In fact, at the beginning, Zheng Shu just planned to leave immediately after touching a lion to obtain the enhancement template, not to engage in unnecessary entanglement, and even to be injured for this is acceptable.

But he didn't expect that this was a lion's speed and wisdom beyond his imagination, and Zheng Shu was beaten by it as a target in the soil without checking for a while. If it was just a simple slap Zheng Shu could still bear it, but the claws that couldn't stand the lion were too sharp, and under the first combo, he seemed to have been punished by Ling Chi.

Although an injury of this level can be quickly recovered with Zheng Shu's recovery power, the pain suffered by the body will not be reduced, so in the case of a momentary situation, Zheng Shu gave up the opportunity to leave and fight with this lion.

In fact, in these five days of fighting, Zheng Shu is not without a chance to leave here from the battle, but at this point, this battle is no longer something that can be stopped.

After the anger disappeared, Zheng Shu also tried to leave here quickly while the lion was sent flying, but the lion who was beaten again obviously would not give up so easily, and each time he would quickly find Zheng Shu's location again through the smell.

Whether it was when Zheng Shu was sleeping, he suddenly jumped out of the grass and hit the back of his head with a claw, or when he went to the toilet, he suddenly jumped out from the side and hit Zheng Shu's waist.

In short, after narrowly avoiding the lion's egg-picking behavior for the last time, Zheng Shu finally confirmed that the lion had fallen into a collision with him.

Of course, because this lion is too discouraged in martial arts, Zheng Shu also said that he was on the bar with it. So he gave up all illusions and followed the lion wholeheartedly.

Then two monsters who couldn't be killed tortured each other for five days.
