Chapter 22: The Hunt
Under a tall oak tree, Gu Li leaned his back against the trunk and poked his head out and kept scanning the surroundings, He Luo first gave him ten minutes to run, he naturally couldn't refuse, and ran into the woods below the mountain peak with a puff of smoke.
One of the things that surprised him the most was that the woods of this small mountain peak turned out to be a place similar to a secret realm, the moment he stepped into the woods, Gu Li could clearly feel that everything around him was being magnified, and a sapling that was about the same height as himself just now became a towering tree in the blink of an eye.
The stones, the bushes, all the stones on the ground, have been turned into a primeval forest by this time! Countless vines drooped from the treetops, and their luxuriant foliage shaded the sky and sun, and no sunlight shred in...... It is no wonder that Ho Luo set the scope in this wood.
It's very uncomfortable to get encouragement from the dark environment, not to mention that there is a madman chasing after him to kill himself, and now he knows why there is no one here in He Luo, only a fool is willing to come here to be hunted down!!
After scolding a few words in his heart, his irritable heart gradually calmed down, he looked around, his brows never relaxed, and he didn't know if there were any fierce beasts or anything like that in this wood, but he wasn't sure if it was a little too much......
The location he was in was still on the edge of the woods, so Gu Li still decided to go inside, it was definitely unrealistic to stay where he was, and he had already wasted several minutes.
There were a lot of weeds on the ground, and Gu Li tried his best to make a sound and leave obvious traces, but in the dark environment, it became a good cover for him.
After a few more minutes, He Luo, who was closing his eyes on the top of the cliff, opened his eyes with the corners of his mouth curled, opened his eyes, his eyes were very sharp, like a tiger ready to attack, he said slowly: "A kid in the body refining realm doesn't need to use cultivation, the physical body is enough!! After that, his thigh muscles flare up, and he only heard a "bang", and he went directly down the cliff and disappeared into a black shadow in the woods.
"Whew~~~"
The faint wind blew, Gu Li shivered, frowned and looked around, and found that there was nothing around him, but he still did not relax his vigilance. "Anyway, ten minutes have arrived......" Under the dark woods, Gu Li could only hear his own wheezing and the sound of broken branches, which was surprisingly quiet......
What is certain is that this place cannot be stayed......
Because he had lived in the jungle for half a month before, Gu Li quickly adapted to the environment of this place, and his speed of action became faster and faster, and with more than a year of physical exercise, he shuttled through the jungle extremely fast, like a cheetah in the dark night, he held a short blade in his hand in case of emergency.
On He Luo's side, he was standing on the road that Gu Li had walked, looking at the broken branches that had been wiped out under his feet, and laughed softly: "The traces are almost hidden, and the most important thing is ...... The breath on your body is not hidden~" When the words fell, the blood in his eyes flashed.
After getting familiar with the environment of the woods, Gu Li became more and more sensitive to the details and sounds around him, at this time he froze in place, his eyes staring at the front motionlessly, a howl of "Woo~~" broke his thinking, this cry he was very familiar with - the howl of wolves.
So Gu Li is now making a decision, whether to continue to go forward or return the same way......
Rushing in and facing a group of wolves whose number is unknown, he is undoubtedly looking for death, and if he goes behind, there is a chance of running into He Luo head-on.
As a result, in the next second, the rustling sound reached his ears, and the instinctive sense of crisis broke out instantly, and he was covered in a cold sweat, his hair stood on end, and he barely thought about it.
Hearing the sound of "Qiang Qiang", sparks flew everywhere, Gu Li's pupils shrank, and he didn't know when He Luo actually appeared behind him, holding a dagger emitting cold light in his hand, which was colliding with the short blade he swung out.
He only felt that He Luo's strength was so strong, and his hands were even trembling when the two collided together, in order to avoid losing his strength, Gu Li used force on the soles of his feet, and retreated more than ten meters away, until he stopped under a tree.
He Luo looked a little crazy when he laughed, and he shook the dagger in his hand. "Yes, I thought I was going to get it just now, how did you ......"
However, without waiting for him to finish speaking, Gu Li turned around and ran in the direction of the wolves' howl, his action directly stunned He Luo, and then laughed. "You kid from the Body Refining Realm is really interesting...... "After a while, he also chased after him in the direction he had fled.
Gu Li gasped for breath, the cold cold wind poured into his throat was really uncomfortable, he looked back from time to time, but he didn't see He Luo's figure, but he didn't plan to stop, his instinctive sense of crisis was still reminding him!
The strength of the knife just now, he really planned to kill himself!!
"Whew~~"
The howls of the wolves were getting closer and closer, and he paused, then kicked the soles of his feet, jumped up violently, and then stepped on the trunk of the tree again, and came smoothly to a forked tree. Is the explosive power after refining the body so strong?!
Now is not the time to think about that?! If you get caught, you might really die!!
The sound of "rustling" came, Gu Li unconsciously raised his vigilance, he held the trunk of the tree with one hand, squatted down, the adrenaline flowing in the blood made him more alert, and even his breathing unconsciously increased, sweat dripping down his forehead, all the way to the ground.
Suddenly, a half-human-tall wild wolf appeared in Gu Li's sight, followed by the second, the third, after a few minutes, no wolf came out again, counted carefully, a total of eleven wolves, if the clam Gu Li accidentally fell, it would basically be a mortal situation.
Even after refining his body, Gu Li didn't have the confidence to compete with the eleven half-human-tall wolves.
The leading wolf kept rubbing his nose against the fallen branches and leaves on the ground, as if he was looking for something, probably not looking for his own scent...... He was stunned, smell?! I see, no wonder He Luo was able to find himself so quickly, doesn't that mean......
By the time he realized something was wrong, it seemed too late, and a cold glow flashed and hit the back of his neck.
