Chapter Fifty-Six: Capturing the Fire Spine Sheep Alive
At this time, taking advantage of the disappearance of the last wave of heat in the cave, Tianjihong stared at the fire-spine sheep that was only more than ten meters away from him. After figuring out the many habitual processes before and after foraging, Tianjihong first chose to hold back and quietly wait for the other party's next move. After some observation, he knew that the firespinal sheep would first carefully check the dangers in all directions before eating. As soon as there is any slight change, the latter will immediately be alert and choose to flee quickly, and it will be difficult for him to succeed if he makes a move at this time.
After a few minutes, Tian Jihong was satisfied to see that the fire-spine sheep had been looking around for several weeks, and finally he was relieved and began to chew the herbs among the rocks. It stands to reason that it is time to do it yourself, but Tian Jihong still did not make the slightest move, and continued to wait patiently. Cheng Zhu knew very well that after confirming the safety of his surroundings, the firespinal sheep would have a short stay time to swallow and digest by himself, and he just had to wait for the other party to eat to the most critical juncture, which was also the moment when his spirit was most relaxed, and then he launched a surprise attack, so that the success rate would be the highest.
Finally, after seeing a few chews, the fire-spine sheep above his head shook his hair comfortably. Tian Jihong knew that this was the moment when he slowly digested the medicinal power in his body, and he had been in ambush for a long time and began to act. However, he still didn't choose to show up immediately, you must know that it is difficult for him to find a place to land between the rock walls, if he rushes towards the firespinal sheep at a height of more than ten meters like this, once he can't achieve a successful blow, he may not be able to do anything if he wants to chase it down.
Therefore, Tian Jihong still followed the old method, first gave full play to his advantages, and raised his hand to throw out a huge piece of dead wood that had been prepared on the side, and accurately smashed it on the retreat of the other party that he had estimated. This trick is not exquisite, Tian Jihong has already figured out the path of these fire-spine sheep moving between the rock walls, and at this time, the landing point of the dead wood is exactly the far side of its upward travel.
When the other party was suddenly frightened and did not pay attention to the surrounding environment, he couldn't distinguish the direction of the dead wood for a while. In the case that the back road is blocked, the firespinal sheep will definitely choose to move in the direction closer to him, so that he can be much more sure of making another move.
Sure enough, the frightened Firespinal Sheep turned his head and quickly glanced at the dead wood colliding in the distance, and then jumped desperately towards the rock platform where Tianjihong was located below. Whether they know it or not, this is a trap deliberately laid by other creatures, but its instinct to survive prompts it to flee in a direction away from danger; What's more, the location of the deadwood's collision has shattered its upward passage, and it is certainly unrealistic to quickly find an alternative way out. Therefore, this poor fire-spine sheep fell into the trap that Tianjihong had already arranged in an instant.
I saw Tian Jihong, who had been waiting for a long time below, stepped forward with an arrow step, stepped on a towering granite rock in front of him, and flew straight up into the air. At this time, after his body was strengthened again, he was already able to jump a few feet high in the air with all his strength, and under this coming and going, the distance between the two sides was narrowed to only a few feet in the blink of an eye. And the fire-spine sheep that fell hastily from above had no possibility of turning around in mid-air, so it pounced directly between Tian Jihong's arms.
However, Tian Jihong understood that this was only the beginning of the battle. When the two touched, Tian Jihong first alertly avoided the other party's sharpest horns, and directly rolled and jumped on the sheep's back with both hands, so that no matter how the other party used his brute force to rush forward, he couldn't help himself behind him.
But this does not mean that the former did not launch a frantic resistance, and when he realized that he had fallen into the calculations of the other party, the firespinal sheep began to twist its body desperately in mid-air when it found that its most powerful horns could not be used, trying to throw off the Tianjihong who was riding on its back.
A man and a sheep fell on the rocky platform below, but neither was apparently injured. For Tian Jihong, even if there was no such a backing fire-spine sheep under him, a drop of just a few meters could not hurt his rock-solid body at all. But what is not so coincidental is that when he landed, Tian Jihong, who was not grasped on the back of the sheep, was careless, and was still broken free by the crazy fire-spine sheep in the collision, and his body rolled twice on the ground, and finally stopped at a position one zhang away from the former.
Unlike yesterday's few fierce spirit beasts, this fire-spine sheep did not choose to turn around and fight with the Tianjihong beside him after stumbling up. After perceiving that he was out of the other party's control, the first thing that Fireridge Sheep thought of was to turn around and run away, but it was a pity that such an instinctive consciousness made him lose his only chance to live.
Tianjihong, who got up almost at the same time, immediately got up and chased after a carp after he reacted. If the opponent just took advantage of the fact that he failed to adjust his balance in time, he chose to attack head-on first, and in front of the impact of the opponent's two horns, I am afraid that it would really take some means to catch this fire spine.
It's a pity that if the other party chooses to turn around and run away at this time, then there is no chance. In terms of the strength that the fireridge sheep is best at, it can't catch up with Tianjihong, who is an opponent, let alone the speed of escape at this time. With the distance between the two sides only more than two meters, even if Tianjihong started a little late, he caught up with the fleeing fire-spine sheep in a few breaths, and the latter was not even half the distance away from the escape platform.
Flew up to the back of the fire-spine sheep again, and this time Tianjihong, who came to the flat field, suddenly exerted his arms and tightly grabbed the two horns on the fire-spine sheep's head. And this time the other party didn't even have a chance to struggle for his life, Tian Jihong, who didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, directly used the spiritual power of his body, and under a huge force, the fire spine sheep below didn't even have time to shake his body to shake off the latter, and he was already pressed by the former on the head, and directly hit the rock on the ground with his head. After some useless struggle, Tian Jihong gradually felt that the Fire Spine Sheep in his hand was at the end of his crossbow, and finally smashed a heavy fist on his Heavenly Spirit Cover, causing the latter to faint.
In this struggle, Tian Jihong once again felt the many benefits brought by spiritual power to himself. Although this battle was carefully planned by himself, the opponent's actions were calculated step by step, so he fell into a situation of being passively beaten. But it also has to be said that the spiritual power has a very significant improvement in its own strength, speed, combat awareness, etc.; It seemed that the last battle between the two sides lasted for several minutes and was very intense, but Tian Jihong, who was blessed with spiritual power, didn't even notice the fatigue after the battle, just after the internal exercises worked a little, he quickly returned to his previous full state.
The fire-spine sheep that had fallen to the ground had stopped moving, and the other members of the same kind who had been active among the rock walls above had already fled when the dead wood collided with the cliff face. Tian Jihong didn't choose to kill the prey in his hand immediately, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to knock this guy unconscious and capture him just now.
Of course, this does not mean that he has sympathy for this firespinal sheep, after yesterday's battle, Tianjihong is already well versed in the cruel law of the jungle in the cultivation world and even in nature, at this time, he wants to let this firespinal sheep go, maybe the other party has just been forced to the situation of the dog jumping off the wall, he will choose to turn around and come to fight with himself. What Tianjihong wants to do is to use this living fire-spine sheep as bait to see if he can lure out the beasts lurking in the shadows; The latter's potential threat to himself made Tian Jihong never dare to go into the target cave alone without knowing the other party's situation.
Carrying the unconscious firespinal sheep to the rock where the beast's footprints had just been found, Tian Jihong then found a boulder and crushed the lower half of the firespinal sheep's body, causing the latter to scream on the spot when it could not break free, in order to attract the attention of the surrounding predators. In the end, after Tian Jihong cleaned up all the traces left by himself, he also splashed a lot of sheep blood in the direction of the stone wall where the paw prints extended, if the guy who was lurking in the shadows was really a spirit beast, it would be impossible for him to perceive the trapped fire-spine sheep with his soul power perception.
After all the arrangements were ready, Tian Jihong hid in the leeward place and waited for the rabbit. In his plan, he waited for the other party for half an hour at most, and this time was enough for the spirit beast to take action. If the other party does not show up for half an hour, it means that he is either too cautious and unwilling to act easily in broad daylight, so that he will not be entangled by the other party in the follow-up action; Either the other party has not reached the level of a spirit beast, and he can't perceive this injured fire-spine sheep for half an hour, he will not be afraid of the other party's strength at all.
What followed was a long wait, during which Tian Jihong was not idle, except for running the exercises on one side to continue his cultivation, he had been carefully observing the hot cave rising not far from the periphery; Although he still failed to find any other clues in the end, he subconsciously felt a little uneasy about the dark cave, and always felt as if he was missing some crucial information.
But now is not the time to worry about these, how to solve the worries first is the most critical problem. In fact, less than a quarter of an hour later, the fire-spine sheep that had been crushed under the crack in the stone regained consciousness and began to try to break free from the boulder behind him. It's a pity that Tian Jihong has already made arrangements according to his body, so that his trapped body just can't turn back and use his horns to push against the stone, so that the fire spine sheep that can't find the force point can't escape by relying on its wriggling lower body alone. After struggling for more than ten minutes, the exhausted firespinal sheep fell to the ground again weakly, leaving only the occasional "bleating" sound from its mouth.
