Chapter 44: A moment of hesitation

The Rabbit and Rat King, who was shuttling between the stone crevices in the distance, seemed to have slowly regained his senses, and when he realized that his own kind was slowly approaching, it had calmed down at this time when it had been provoked by Tianjihong and had been actively attacking. The opponent had climbed to a high place, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to start after going back and forth several times, so the Rabbit Rat King decided to stop his action, and once again stood in place and cast a sound wave on the rat colony to control it, and suddenly the rat tide that had penetrated into the rocky area locked the position of a man and a beast again, and suddenly accelerated towards them.

Tian Jihong, who saw his opponent's every move clearly in mid-air, understood at this time that he could not delay any longer, since the other party stopped again and chose to consume himself, then he repeated his old tricks, forcing the other party to catch up and entangle with himself in a posture of trying to escape.

So, Tian Jihong kicked the ground with his legs and flew down the stone cliff in the direction of the woods. Seeing that the other party landed from a high place and had the intention of running away, the Rabbit Rat King got up again as expected and began to wander around Tianjihong. This time, Tian Jihong no longer paid attention to the looming figure between the stone walls beside him, and ran towards the periphery of the rocky area with all his heart.

Seeing the size of the rocks in the dirt in front of him gradually shrinking, the familiar forest path a hundred meters away once again appeared in view. Tian Jihong, who was about to get out of the rocky slope, knew very well in his heart that this was the last time for the rabbit and mouse king, once he successfully entered the forest and the road became wider, it would be difficult to effectively block his escape.

Sure enough, just as Tianjihong was about to step on the last few rock platforms, in the environment without the surrounding stone wall to cover it, the rabbit and rat king, who finally couldn't hold his breath, suddenly appeared behind a stone wall not far away, and at the same time rushing towards Tianjihong with all his might, it also urged two skills again, and the phantom body used to lure the enemy rushed straight to the left side of Tianjihong, and the real body quickly circled to the back direction under the cover of the latent shadow to prepare to attack.

It's a pity that Tian Jihong, who has guessed the methods of this rabbit and rat king, is of course deliberately selling a flaw to the other party when he is desperate to flee for his life just now. If you look for a semi-enclosed stone cliff corner as a battlefield as before, to guard against possible attacks from the rear, you can indeed increase the chance of winning this battle; However, in this case, an adversary who has already suffered a loss and is alert may not dare to rush to attack for a while, and if it is delayed, it will only make the situation even more unfavorable.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Tianjihong decided to take the initiative to give up the advantage of geographical advantages, and deliberately gave the other party more space to force the other party to make a move; Although the certainty of a frontal battle is relatively low, the precious time gained by this not only allows me to maneuver better, but also gets rid of the rat tide in the rear as soon as possible, which makes my situation more secure.

Of course, the most important thing is that Tianjihong's self-confidence after seeing through the opponent's tricks made him make such a desperate decision. If he didn't understand the other party's form of attack, he wouldn't have allowed himself to run away in such a state of escape with no barriers on all sides.

At this time, seeing that the opponent still did not change his moves, and he was attacking him head-on with the same posture, this time he was fully prepared, and he did not pay attention to the oncoming phantom at all, but focused on the surrounding ground environment, especially the movement on his back. No matter how magical this Rabbit Rat King's skill is, how to disguise his real body, as long as he does not complete the real space shuttle, then if he wants to launch an attack from behind, the opponent must move to this direction first, which will inevitably leave traces of action on the ground.

This time, when Tian Jihong turned his head, he clearly saw that on the ground a few meters behind his body, an invisible force was rapidly lifting the fine gravel and sand on the surface, and he was already ninety percent sure of the next situation in his heart.

I saw that the front was about to move to the phantom three feet away from him, and at this time, the fierce god bared his front teeth viciously, waving his front paws into the air and hitting his throat, but Tian Jihong, who was like a mirror, chose to stride forward to meet him at this time. As expected, his body passed through the phantom in front of him without any hindrance, and when he stood still, the realistic shadow remained in mid-air and did not dissipate. After pulling away and easily dodging the claw that seemed to be attacking from behind him, Tian Jihong seized the opportunity, and reflexively grabbed the long ear of the Rabbit and Rat King, who had not yet gained a firm foothold, locked it in front of him, and then punched him in the abdomen with his free right hand.

A terrible scream suddenly resounded through the mountains. Under the full force of Tianjihong's blow, the Rabbit and Rat King, who was counted as dead and imprisoned in place and couldn't move, only felt as if his body had been hit by a jack hammer at this time; It was not defenseless, and the bones between its torso were broken several times under the blow, and the speckled fur on its chest was already bleeding.

But the most troublesome thing is that the opponent's left hand that grabbed his ears was like an iron pincer that could not break free at all, and at this time, the body that should have been vigorously knocked out was forcibly pulled back from mid-air by the opponent, and his right hand once again clenched his fist and hit it without stopping, vowing to completely beat himself until he lost his combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Rabbit and Rat King, who twisted his body frantically in a vain attempt to get out of trouble, had already lost his discipline in a panic, and his claws and teeth were constantly biting Tianjihong's whole body like a meat grinder, and within a moment, the clothes around him were about to be torn into rags. However, such efforts are in vain, the shortcomings of the rabbit rat that are not good at attacking are exposed at this moment, once the body is imprisoned and loses the speed advantage, and can no longer use the impact to increase the damage of the teeth, this guy is no longer a threat in front of Tianjihong.

I saw that Tian Jihong's right hand was re-energized, and regardless of the blood that was still spilling between his arms, it was a set of coherent heavy punches that hit the rabbit and rat's face and throat fiercely. The fist slammed into the whole body of the Rabbit King like a rainstorm, instantly suppressing the momentum of the opponent's desperate struggle, and the latter's constantly waving limbs were already a little weak; Obviously, the vital position near the head was attacked by the enemy like this, and the Rabbit and Rat King's physical strength was almost exhausted, and the red eyes that were originally blazing began to be a little blurry at this moment.

At this moment, driven by the instinct of survival, the Rabbit King mobilized the little strength he had left and suddenly opened his mouth to the enemy in front of him. I felt a strange fluctuation rise from the depths of the smelly throat, and the air currents set off by the sound waves whistled across the top of Tian Jihong's head, causing the muscles on the latter's cheeks to tremble slightly. It is obvious that this Rabbit Rat King launched his last natal skill, Rat Howl, when his fate was hanging by a thread.

This last natal technique is evolved from the sound wave that the Rabbit King is good at, once it evolves into a spirit beast, it vibrates its throat through spiritual power and makes a sharp whistling sound, and the destructive power of the invisible sound wave is not inferior to other beast skills that rely on the body.

I only heard this sharp whistling sound piercing the sky, and its strong aftermath made the treetops only a few meters away behind him were fallen leaves, and the birds and beasts that were alarmed by this terrible howl in the distance also scattered and fled, and for a while, the black and oppressive birds in the distant sky echoed with the rat tide not far away, and there was a feeling that the end was approaching.

Tianjihong, who was hit by the rat whistle at close range, did suffer a loss in a short period of time. As the sound wave rushed into the air and dissipated, a strong buzzing sound lingered in its ears. However, in addition, after the former had already seen the method of the Rat King controlling his own kind through sound waves, he had subconsciously been wary of his possible killer moves.

Before the sound wave left his throat, Tian Jihong immediately let go of the left hand that had been holding the Rabbit Rat King tightly, and after his legs bent slightly to stabilize the center of gravity, he raised his hand and moved the cranial cavity of the Rabbit Rat King to his side. Therefore, except for the deafening screams that temporarily deprived him of his hearing, the impact of the frontal attack did not sweep the Tianjihong who had already dodged at all, and the latter naturally did not suffer any substantial damage.

The Rat King who delivered this desperate blow was at the end of his crossbow at this moment, and he collapsed on the raised rock platform with no movement. Seeing that the winner had been divided, Tian Jihong stared at the rabbit rat king who fell in a pool of blood beside him, and there was a trace of hesitation in his heart whether to solve the rabbit king's life on the spot, but he was only twelve years old and it was always difficult to cross the threshold in his heart, and Tian Jihong, who had good intentions, was still not ready to kill the killer in the end. But in a trance, he ignored the rat tide that was approaching him in the distance, and a vague figure in the sky beyond.

It was this momentary hesitation that once again became a turning point in the battle. At his feet was already the Rabbit and Rat King, who was judged by Tianjihong to be powerless to fight again and was on the verge of death, but under this moment of hesitation, he seized the rare opportunity to suddenly attack. As you have just seen, the Rabbit Rat King who collapsed to the ground has no room to fight back, and in the case of ribs and torso being interrupted by Tianjihong, it is obviously impossible for it to entangle with the former with its own speed, and even if it is in a state of complete victory, it will not be the former's opponent at all in hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, at this time, the Rabbit King seemed to have woken up from the rat roar that had just started, and his body was still not moving, and he chose to pin his hopes on the same kind that was already a stone's throw away. The hoarse hiss came from his throat again, but this time the sound wave was not aimed at Tianjihong, but the shock in the space around him made his head feel a little dizzy, and the buzzing sound in his ears was also clear again, making Tianjihong involuntarily raise his hands to block his ears.
