Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Plan Falls Through

But it wasn't until this time that Tian Jihong realized that he still underestimated the wisdom of the spirit beast. Everything in front of him was as he expected, and under his own tactics of attacking from east to west, the Dongyun Wolf, who was concentrating on moving the boulder on the platform, did not distinguish the location of the attack at all. But the moment the rock platform was shattered and the rolling stones were released, the terrifying consciousness possessed by the spirit beast Dongyun Wolf instantly restored its fighting instincts. It should have been frightened by the oncoming rolling stones, but it was surprisingly calm, and immediately chose to lean sideways against the stone wall to dodge.

Of course, its huge size is obviously not enough to avoid the impact of the rocks in the narrow foothold, and it is difficult to break through its own defenses as a stone in the spirit beast area, but the huge impact force is likely to knock it down the cliff. At this time, the Dongyun Wolf once again made the safest decision, and when it did not know where the enemies around it would appear, it did not follow the plan set by Tianjihong to move towards the path above, but wisely chose to stay where it was. When the boulder approached, the Dongyun wolf, whose hind limbs were firmly on the ground, bowed forward one by one, and easily pushed the rolling stone into the abyss from the side.

Tian Jihong couldn't help but be amazed by this coherent operation, the importance of this Dongyun wolf in his heart was also extremely high, he understood that he still underestimated the spirit beast's combat power and combat experience in the end, and his careful arrangement did not have much effect except for cutting off the opponent's back road. Now it seems that the Dongyun Wolf has obviously sensed the existence of the enemy, and it is difficult for him to arrive in time due to the fact that he is not short away from the opponent, and it is difficult to have the first-mover advantage that he planned at the beginning.

And what made Tianjihong's heart even tighter was that at this moment, the Dongyun Wolf was on guard, shaking his head and looking around several times and still couldn't find any trace of the enemy, but the other party still did not move towards the platform above as he expected, but chose to carefully lean in the direction where he came, trying to find a new path in the ruins destroyed by the rolling stones.

At this time, Tian Jihong couldn't sit still at all, once the other party found a new way to retreat and left, his previous efforts would not be in vain! If this guy was allowed to escape so easily, if the Dongyun Wolf, who was already alert at that time, chose to come back from other directions to investigate, then he would not dare to go deep into the cave with such a pair of eyes behind his back. Tian Jihong, who didn't turn his head for a while, subconsciously got up and prepared to chase in the direction of Dongyun Wolf.

But at this moment, the Dongyun wolf in the distance looked back, causing a chill to pour out of Tianjihong's whole body. Although it was fifty meters away, the fierce gaze of the wild wolf still sent chills down Tianjihong's back, and he knew that he had fallen into the trap of the other party again in a moment's panic. Under the destruction of the boulder that just rolled down from a height of more than ten meters, the passage between the stone walls has already been wiped out, and many of the original footholds have already turned into gravel and mud under the crushing and rolled down into the mountain stream. Now this kind of scene is obviously deliberately done by the other party.

Tian Jihong suddenly realized that this Dongyun wolf didn't think that he could find a new way out before the enemy lurking in the dark caught up, so he might as well take the opportunity to fish the other party out first, and then consider it after knowing the enemy's location. Obviously, his real mind was not spent on clearing the road at all, but he had been concentrating on observing the grass and trees in the mountain stream in the distance, and Tian Jihong, who had taken the bait, was also quickly noticed by the former when he got up.

Seeing that his previous calculations were meaningless, Tian Jihong had no choice but to show up and confront this Dongyun wolf. Now that his whereabouts have been discovered by the other party, he can only rush to the opposite granite platform as soon as possible to occupy a favorable terrain, and at the same time block his upward escape route.

However, the next move of the Dongyun wolf once again greatly surprised Tianjihong. After discovering that there was only a child standing on the opposite cliff who was less than half his height, the Dongyun Wolf, who was completely enraged, let out a low roar. Thinking that he was calculated by such an inconspicuous little guy, and was almost forced to fall off the cliff, it had no intention of escaping at all, but was thinking about how to solve the other party like Tianjihong on the other side.

Seeing that the opponent had already rushed towards the commanding heights of the platform above, the cunning Dongyun Wolf knew that if he broke through so rashly, he would definitely not be able to reach the opponent before the opponent. Before knowing the true strength of the other party, if the geographical advantage is seized like this, the situation after the two sides fight may exceed their expectations, and they must come up with other methods.

A minute later, Tian Jihong, who had found the right terrain one step in advance, saw that the giant wolf with fierce eyes and teeth and claws had already thrown down the corpse of the previous fire-spine sheep, and began to shuttle left and right between the cliffs and march upward, and after a while, he had jumped to a distance of only more than ten meters from the platform. So he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared for battle, vowing to preemptively suppress the opponent's arrogance the moment the opponent stepped on the platform.

But what happened next was completely beyond Tianjihong's imagination. I saw that when the Dongyun wolf arrived at a relatively spacious platform at its feet, it was about to take the last step and pounce on itself above, but at this time, it suddenly turned around, and actually jumped straight towards the opposite cliff in a sprint.

Under the former's incredulous gaze, the giant wolf easily crossed the mountain stream more than twenty meters wide, and landed steadily on a piece of dead wood that it had already locked, and then climbed towards the platform where Tianjihong landed above.

Jumping over this mountain stream more than ten meters wide is not an incredible thing for Tianjihong. As mentioned before, in fact, with Jihong's own ability today, he would not be able to cross the valley in the air, but he never expected that the Dongyun Wolf at this life-and-death juncture would have such courage.

You must know that although the foothold of the Dongyun Wolf is quite spacious and has a running distance, it is much shorter than the granite platform where he stands above, which also means that the distance that the former needs to jump is far more than the more than ten meters above, and the other party can fly over without hesitation It is really too bold.

Moreover, when he came, there were not many footholds between the cliffs on the west side like the cliffs on the east side where he was now, and there were no narrow passages similar to those stepped on by the firespinal sheep when he walked repeatedly, and even Tianjihong himself relied on the help of ropes to move between the cliffs on the west side. Therefore, once the wolf does not grasp the strength, even if it jumps to the opposite mountain, there is a possibility that it will not be able to find a landing point, and even if it lands safely, there will still be a situation where it will be trapped in place and unable to climb the road, and a bad luck may be the end of no return.

This Dongyun wolf was able to choose to cross the canyon at the last moment of the march, and landed safely in the designated position, in addition to its boldness and carefulness, it did have a lot of luck in it. At least after Tian Jihong saw the other party's success, he still didn't dare to take this risk easily.

It's just that after the other party tossed like this, the current situation instantly became delicate. Seeing that the other party was climbing step by step between the cliffs on the west side, the favorable terrain occupied by the rock platform that he had rushed to in advance was useless. So, Tian Jihong, who came back to his senses, hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the dead wood that connected to the cliff on the west side, but unfortunately he reacted a little late at this time.

At this time, the murderous giant wolf had arrived at the opposite bank and was facing him in the air, and the only thing separating the two was the stump of more than ten meters long in front of him, but this distance was a blink of an eye for both sides. None of the four staring wolves chose to act rashly, just tense their bodies and stared at the opponent in the distance, trying to find the flaws of the other party.

In the end, it was the Dongyun Wolf who was the first to attack without patience, and even if it had no less intelligence than humans, it would inevitably feel disdain when it saw that the opponent was only the size of one of his legs. Until the two sides fought, the giant wolf never regarded Tianjihong as an opponent who could compete with him, so after seeing the opponent and himself stalemate across the mountain, it first broke the deadlock, and jumped up to a foot high, trying to dive down from mid-air to Tianjihong to a Taishan pressure.

Seeing that the other party made the first move, Tian Jihong chose to avoid its edge quite calmly. It is true that the opponent can inflict greater damage with the force of the fall, but this also limits the flexibility of his body, and it is difficult to change direction or change moves in mid-air. Therefore, Tian Jihong didn't have the slightest idea of resisting, and directly rolled sideways towards a brown rock beside him.

I only heard a loud "boom", and the Dongyun wolf, which was as big as an elephant, was like a meteorite that fell to the ground and bombarded the granite ground heavily, shaking the entire platform. Volcanic ash and soil were scattered between the surfaces, covering the battlefield in a hazy cloud of smoke. Fortunately, Tian Jihong, who dodged in time on the side, was not affected by the impact, and he quickly changed his position with the help of the cover of smoke and dust, and soon took advantage of the gap when the giant wolf was trying to get up to go around behind it.

The dust kicked up in the center of the battlefield finally fell again, and Tian Jihong, who was facing the tail of the giant wolf, pulled out the dagger that had been prepared from his sleeve, planning to jump behind the Dongyun wolf first like he had captured the fire spine sheep before, and then launch the next attack while avoiding the opponent's strong limbs.
