Chapter Eighty-Three: Fighting and Killing the Beast
Looking at the monster's voice, I saw it standing on the top of the hill across the lake, looking into the valley.
The distance between the monster and Xu Mo was two or three miles, so much so that with Xu Mo's ears, he had not heard it beforehand. And the lake had a wide view, and the monster was condescending, having spotted them, roared again, and rushed down from the top of the mountain.
It has rough skin and thick flesh, and is not afraid of being scratched by stones and thorns, so it has no scruples, and its forward momentum is extremely strong, as if it is a big ball of meat rolling down the mountain. The bushes and grass along the way were crushed, and the gravel was rolled up, and the sound became more and more amazing from a distance.
"God, what the hell is this?" Geng Yanli couldn't help but scream loudly, the fear in her voice was indescribable. Han Ying and Gong Lei also lost their color.
Xu Mo shouted again: "Run, run, run! When it arrives, it won't be able to escape." ”
With the crowd, he went to the mango grove next to him.
In fact, the monster was afraid of water, so it was safer for him to take everyone to the lake to hide. It's just that in that case, it's tantamount to trapping yourself in disguise. And the monster has gone mad and lost its normality, and if it stays by the lake and refuses to leave, everyone but himself will be trapped and killed.
According to his original plan, he originally planned to prepare a pair of poison to poison the monster, and then go into the cave with Han Ying to collect the glow-in-the-dark grass. But he didn't expect the monster to come so quickly, so that his plan could not be implemented at all.
At this time, most of the monkeys have returned and are cooking. So he fled with the crowd in the opposite direction to his own dwelling, intending to lure the monster away so as not to cause trouble to the monkeys. It also prevents the monster from wreaking havoc on its own dwellings.
After entering the mango grove, he led everyone around, and the mango tree blocked it, and soon avoided the sight of the monster.
Everyone took a breath, and Gong Lei took the opportunity to ask Xu Mo, "Man, what kind of monster is that?" Due to the distance, he didn't see the specific appearance of the monster at all, and he couldn't guess what kind of monster it was just by looking at the sound of it rushing down the mountain.
Han Ying and Geng Yanli were also suspicious, and when they heard him ask, they couldn't help but look at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo shook his head, he didn't know much about the Dao, "It should be a mutant monster, what it is, I don't know the Dao." After a pause, he continued, "We'd better go farther, or the monster will come after us soon." ”
Geng Yanli glanced back, but there was no trace of the monster, and forced a smile: "It can't see us anymore, it shouldn't be able to catch up, right?"
Saying that, the people didn't dare to stop at all, and walked with Xu Mo and them again towards the depths of the mango grove.
The monster said that it was slow, but it was only compared to other beasts, after all, it was still so fast compared to humans, and its strength was far beyond the reach of humans.
Coupled with its extremely smart nose, no one else can hold its breath like Xu Mo, and after going around the mango forest for a long time, they were chased by the monster with the scent, and the distance between them and it was getting closer and closer.
Gradually out of the woods, to the edge of the valley on the other side.
The mountain on this side is steep and slightly higher, about seven or eight hundred meters. It's not easy. It's just that there is no way to retreat at this time, everyone looks at each other, and they all choose to climb up the mountain.
They had only halfway climbed when the monster had already rushed out of the forest, and when it saw them, it raised its head to the sky and shouted, "Whew... Roar..."
Then it leaped up and rushed up the hill, its four claws were extremely sharp, and it grabbed down with one claw, but saw that the rubble was flying, and even the stone was cracked. The four claws gripped deep into the rock, and they jumped up after them, seemingly faster than they could on flat ground.
Everyone looked back, and their faces changed drastically. Geng Yanli couldn't stop screaming in fright: "Oh my God, it's catching up, it's catching up..." The more scared I was, the more I couldn't help but look back, the more I looked back, the more scared I became, and I couldn't stop yelling, "It's catching up, it's catching up..."
Han Ying hurriedly reminded her: "Xiaoli, don't look back." ”
But Geng Yanli was very frightened and turned a deaf ear to Han Ying's reminder. Suddenly, he stepped on the air and fell to the ground, and he couldn't help screaming loudly, struggling to get up, his hands and feet were so frightened that he couldn't get up, and shouted loudly: "Help me!"
Xu Mo and Gong Lei turned around, and ran towards the mountain with her left and right, Geng Yanli's face was like earth, and she said repeatedly: "We can't run away, we can't run away!" glanced back, and screamed loudly: "Ah!"
As Han Ying ran, Wu Zi didn't forget to comfort her a few words, "Don't worry, it can't catch up with us." "To no avail.
Seeing the top of the mountain, the distance between the monster and them became closer and closer, just over a hundred meters later.
Xu Mo was familiar with the terrain, glanced left and right, and said loudly, "Follow me." ”
He had been here a few times, and he remembered clearly that there was a cliff near the top of this mountain, and under the cliff was a rift valley, and a natural stone beam more than ten meters long crossed the rift valley and connected to the other side of the mountain.
Without thinking, he led the people towards the rift, bypassed a forest of stones, and came to the stone beam.
Xu Mo stretched out his hand and pointed at the stone beam, and said loudly, "Let's go over here." ”
The stone beam was only more than a meter wide, and there were a few cracks in the middle, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, there was a river below the rift, and the water vapor was steaming out, and the whole rift was full of mist, blocking the view, and I couldn't see how deep it was.
Geng Yanli glanced at Luxia, felt dizzy, couldn't help but take a step back, and said loudly: "No, we will be killed by falling, we will be killed." ”
At this time, the matter was urgent, and Xu Mo didn't have the time to say more to her, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Ying, and ordered, "Han Ying, you go first." ”
Han Ying glanced at the stone beam, and when she saw the cracks on the stone beam, she couldn't help but feel a chill, but at this time, there was no way to retreat, and she heard Xu Mo's instructions, so she had to walk towards the upper beam.
Xu Mo then looked at Geng Yanli again, and Geng Yanli didn't wait for him to speak, she took a few steps back and screamed, "Don't look at me, I'd rather die than walk from here." ”
Gong Lei persuaded: "Xiaoli, that monster is about to catch up, if you don't leave, you will definitely be eaten by it." ”
When Geng Yanli heard him say this, she immediately shuddered with fright, but then glanced at the bottom of the cliff, then took a few steps back, her expression was even more frightened, and she screamed: "I'd rather be eaten by that monster than walk up here." ”
Gong Lei looked at Xu Mo helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaoli has a fear of heights, what can I do?"
Xu Mo thought for a while and asked, "Can you carry her over?"
Gong Lei looked at Shi Liang, then at Geng Yanli, and shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't." ”
Xu Mo waved his hand, and then said, "Okay, you go first." ”
Gong Lei understood what he meant, so he had to say, "Then please, man, don't hurt her." ”
Xu Mo said 'um', which was a promise. Gong Lei thanked him again and walked towards Shiliang.
Xu Mo watched him walk towards Shiliang, and then walked towards Geng Yanli, Geng Yanli heard the conversation between the two, and had already guessed what he wanted to do, and while retreating, he said loudly: "Don't think about it, don't come here, don't come over, ah..."
The matter is urgent, where can Xu Mo manage so much? He grabbed her, picked her up horizontally, clamped one hand under his ribs, and walked towards the stone beam.
He has lived in the hollow valley for more than two years, climbing up and down the mountain every day, and his strength has also grown greatly compared to before. This Geng Yanli is no more than a hundred catties at most, and she is caught with one hand, and she is also confused.
It's just that Geng Yanli was in mid-air, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the stone beam, she glanced at the bottom of the cliff, and was even more afraid, constantly struggling and shouting: "Let go of me, let go of me." His hands waved, slapping and beating Xu Mo indiscriminately.
Xu Mo said in a low voice: "If you are afraid, you might as well close your eyes, and if you continue to struggle like this, we will both fall to death." ”
When Geng Yanli heard this, her heart suddenly froze, and she didn't dare to struggle anymore, and then closed her eyes. But although her eyes were closed, there was no way not to think about it, and her body was still trembling.
But since she was no longer struggling, Xu Mo walked very smoothly, and soon after, she reached the other side of the stone beam. Gong Lei and Han Ying hurriedly took a few steps and took Geng Yanli over, Geng Yanli landed on her feet and felt a little at ease.
And the monster finally caught up the mountain, and chased the smell to the other side of the stone beam, and it stopped without stopping, and pounced on the stone beam in this way.
Only then did the others see the appearance of the monster clearly, but they saw that it was hideous and terrifying, and its image was indescribably vicious. This image has not only never been seen, but has not even heard of it.
Gong Lei saw the monster pounce and shouted, "Let's run away." ”
Xu Mo saw a tree trunk on the ground under his feet, about thirty or forty centimeters thick and five or six meters long, his heart moved, and he shook his head and said, "No, let's knock it off the cliff." ”
Geng Yanli shouted, "You're crazy! It has so much strength, how can it be moved with just the four of us?"
Xu Mozhi was frightened, but she was not angry, and said, "If you don't give it a try, how can you know the way?" As he spoke, he went to get the trunk and beckoned to the others, "Let's lift this trunk up and knock it down when it pounces." ”
When Han Ying heard him say this, she immediately walked over to help. Gong Lei hesitated for a moment and walked over.
Geng Yanli glanced at Han Ying and shouted, "Sister Ying, even you are crazy, support him!"
Han Ying smiled and said, "It's good to give it a try." ”
Geng Yanli muttered: "If you don't run away now, you won't be able to escape after a while." So said that, he stepped forward and helped carry the trunk.
Xu Mo stood at the front and said loudly: "When it pounces, everyone listens to my command and works together to knock it down." ”
The monster seemed to be startled when it saw that they did not flee, and its momentum slowed down. But then there was another yell, "Whew... Roar..."
The body squatted slightly, and pounced straight over.
Xu Mo kept staring at the monster's eyes, and when it pounced, his eyes suddenly widened. His eyes were strong at this time, and this eye focused all his thoughts, and the monster touched his gaze, only to feel a sharp pain in his eyes, as if he had been punched, and immediately screamed, closed his eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing out.
Xu Mo then shouted: "Fight!"
Everyone worked together and swept the monster with a stick.
The monster's eyes were suddenly attacked, and the action of rushing over was a stagnant, at this time, its body was suspended in the air, and it had nowhere to borrow strength, and was hit by Xu Mo and them with a stick, and suddenly fell off the cliff.

PS: This ability to turn into a sword is Xu Mo's only means of attack at the moment, of course, it is not strong enough now, and its power is limited
