Chapter 8: The Hunter and the Prey

Zhou Qi once read a book from an old era, which said that in autumn, the leaves of the trees turned yellow and withered in the cold wind, and then revived again in the following spring. But the plants of the wilderness never do this, just like this dense forest, no matter how much the cold wind blows on the autumn night, it is still lush and flourishing.

The wind sounded, like the waves of the sea, and the howling wolves arrived.

Zhou Qi looked forward, and could vaguely see the location of Aponia, they were rubbed with the juice of black grass, this plant is common in the wilderness, it has a spicy and sour smell, which can hide the smell on their bodies.

"Whew~" The wolf king took the lead and led more than a dozen howling wolves to rush into the dense forest, while the rest of the wolves surrounded the dense forest, they were not beasts with no wisdom at all, but hunters with enough experience. The wolf king's movements were very light, but the wolves were numerous, and the heavy breathing of the wolves and the accompanying wind around them were as obvious as firelight in the silent dense forest.

Here it comes! Zhou Qi had already seen the wolf king's long and narrow face, seen its tongue licking the white hair on its chin, and saw the disgusting mucus flowing from its mouth. Aponia's form appeared in front of the wolves, the light on her body flickering like a candle. Then she dodged along the stream, and the wolves immediately followed. Staring at the wolf king who was alone in front of him, Zhou Qi activated the blood flower, and the speed from the lightning leopard filled his body, he rushed forward, and a punch containing huge power swung out, hitting the wolf king's nose, and then Zhou Qi turned and fled in the opposite direction.

"Whew~~!" The wolf king was furious, a few drops of saliva fell from its jaw, and Zhou Qi's punch with unparalleled speed and strength really hurt it, and it broke away from the wolves and rushed towards Zhou Qi who fled.

Zhou Qi turned his head and looked at the chasing wolf king, knowing that the plan was already half successful, he pouted, after all, he was still a beast, he thought in his mind, but he didn't slow down at all, and ran in the direction where Qiu Xiang was hiding.

It's here. He had already seen Xu Yao hanging on the tree, well, he was still dizzy, it seemed that his blow was indeed not light. Zhou Qi stopped and pulled out the ion cutting knife that he had just become familiar with how to use it. Without any external manifestations of light and heat, Zhou Qi even doubted whether this thing was activated or not, he turned around and stabbed out with a sword, the fire flashed, and a clear wound was cut on the wolf king's body.

"It doesn't seem to be broken, it's really easy to use, high-tech." He muttered to himself, but he didn't stop moving, the wolf king pounced, he dodged it at a tricky angle, and pushed his free left hand hard, pressing the wolf king down the tree fiercely. In the next moment, a brute force came, and he was directly pushed out by the wolf king.

After all, it's just the ability of the D-level wild bull, and it still can't fight against the B-level wolf king, Zhou Qi sighed, he has basically figured out, his speed is barely better than the wolf king, and the strength is more than a little worse, the cutting knife is very useful, but it can only cut the flesh and skin, and it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to the wolf king. Looking at the wolf king's sharp claws and obvious marks on the ground, Zhou Qi suspected that if he was taken a beat, it was estimated that he would have to die on the spot before he could activate himself.

The wolf king lay on the ground, staring at Zhou Qi deadly, but there was no next move, its eyes flashed with a faint cold light, and Zhou Qi felt a chill when he saw it. "Whoosh~" Suddenly, a sound of breaking the sky sounded, and the wolf king reacted and hit the wolf king's left eye. It was Qiu Xiang, and her accurate shot in the dark caused the wolf king to suffer a lot of injuries.

"Whoop~~ Woo" The wolf king roared in pain, the turquoise cyclone converged at a speed visible to the naked eye, attached to the wolf king's fur, its only remaining right eye was covered with bloodshots, Zhou Qi took a step forward, slashed with a knife, but slashed in the air, "Heaven!" Qiu Xiang's voice sounded in his ears, Zhou Qi swung his knife upward, and the laser shot by Qiu Xiang almost formed an undodgable blockade, but in the next moment, the wolf king took a step in the volley, and once again completed a jump, stepping on the wind, and the racial talent of the howling wind wolf.

Zhou Qi had already expected it, he took out a short knife in his left hand at some point, and threw it at the moment when the wolf king took off again, just along the trajectory of the wolf king's rise, white holy light appeared, and a bright light burst out in an instant, and the short knife burned with the flame of the holy short knife, piercing the wolf king's chin.

Zhou Qi threw the blade in his hand backwards and threw it in front of Qiu Xiang, and he took advantage of the wolf king's obstruction of his vision and grabbed the wolf king's tail. He used both hands hard, desperately pulled the wolf king to the ground, kicked the wolf king's waist, as the saying goes, "hemp rod legs, tofu waist, broom tail iron brain", even the wolf king is not exempt from vulgarity, this foot down, the wolf king's ability to resist blows is strong, and half of his strength will inevitably be discharged.

Zhou Qi was not polite, one kick after another, each kick carried the brute force of the wild bull, until Qiu Xiang stepped forward and activated the ion cutting knife to cut off the head of the wolf king, he did not stop.

After a brief rest, Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment, picked up Xu Yao, who was still unconscious, and the two chased in the direction of Aponia's departure.

The dawn was like a sharp blade splitting through the cold night, the sun was rising, and under the faint light, Aponia was praying reverently every morning. Zhou Qi and Qiu Xiang looked at the nun in front of them in surprise, she didn't have any traces of a battle at all.

"Where's the wolf?" Confusion from Zhou Qi.

Apoña didn't look at him, didn't say a word, and the silence lasted like a century, until Aponia lowered his hands that were folded in front of his chest, "I led them away." ”

Zhou Qi and Qiu Xiang still didn't believe it, "If you get rid of them, you won't come back?" Do you think they are piglets, even if hundreds of pigs run back, you can see a few of them. "Second confusion from Zhou Qi.

Aponia stretched out his right hand, and the bright holy light made Zhou Qi's tears almost stop flowing again, "You speak well, don't fire your own people." ”

There was still no expression on the nun's delicate face, and she put away the flame in her hand, "I burned their eyes and noses with the holy light, and then flashed back with the help of the holy light. ”

The atmosphere of silence lingered, although he accepted the existence of extraordinary power, although Aponia had sworn that she could escape from the encirclement of hundreds of wolves, but for Zhou Qi, this simple and direct operation was still a bit too advanced.

Xu Yao woke up faintly and looked at the silent crowd, "Alas, is it over?" ”

Zhou Qi nodded heavily, and was about to say something, but the next moment his face changed greatly.

A crimson storm surged from the dense forest, even though they were far away from the depths of the dense forest, but at a distance of several hundred meters, this coercion still made them break out in a cold sweat.

"Whew~~!!" A more powerful and majestic roar sounded than the wolf king's howl, and the sleeping red-maned tiger just woke up.

"Damn it!" Zhou Qi quickly knocked Xu Yao, who was confused, unconscious again, before Xu Yao swore that it was okay, and he had to believe him, now it is not safe anywhere, "Let's run away!" He shouted, running in the opposite direction from the wolf king's corpse.
