Chapter 2604 Confrontation

It would be okay if they were just man-eating trees. What I fear most is that they are more powerful than that, and they will also hide in secret and wait for opportunities to attack, such as such wretched fighting methods.

After swallowing my saliva, I slowly pulled out Xi Lan's demon knife, murmuring in my heart: "The road ahead is dangerous."

Leaning against the tree trunk, I observed the surroundings vigilantly, but there was no sound. I didn't know if the monsters were still lurking, or if they had not yet appeared.

His body trembled slightly unconsciously. This was not fear, but nervousness, and a hint of excitement.

It’s been a long time since I encountered such a tough enemy, and I couldn’t hold back my desire for battle.

This is like the indescribable throb that a drunkard feels when he suddenly encounters a jar of old wine.

Slowly close my eyes, slowly inhale, and then slowly exhale. With each deep breath, my rapid heartbeat will slow down for a few minutes. After more than ten seconds, the heartbeat rate has dropped to three times the average human heartbeat. Two-thirds.

In this state, my senselessness gradually became clearer, and my mind became surprisingly calm. Any disturbance around me could be noticed in an instant.

A breeze blew, like the spring breeze in February. It was neither warm nor cool, but very erratic.

Suddenly, my eyes widened, I drew my sword out of its sheath, and leaned forward to slash back.

This set of movements is smooth and flowing, as fast as lightning.

There was only a muffled sound, and the extremely sharp demon knife was blocked by something. Looking closely, it turned out to be a strange humanoid creature!

On the round, bald head, there are no eyes, no nose, no ears, only a big black mouth, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. The body below the head is similar to the human body, but different. It has a pair of The arms are as thick as an adult's thighs. The tips of the arms are not a pair of slender and dexterous hands, but a pair of three-fingered sharp claws. The claws are black, shiny, and extremely sharp.

It was these claws that blocked my knife.

The lower half of the monster looks more like an ape than a human, an ape without a tail.

It curled up its legs and squatted next to the tree, hissing and roaring at me with a big mouth full of fangs, as if in demonstration.

I ignored its ugly face and stared closely at its sharp claws.

This pair of claws can easily block my knife. Judging from my current cutting power and explosive power, its basic strength must be above level ten.

Taking a deep breath, I held the knife in one hand, concentrated for a moment, then ran out with a big stride, and took the knife straight to its head.

Although the monster has no eyes, it does not mean that it is blind, otherwise it would not be possible to perform the wonderful sneak attack and assassination just now.

I saw the monster kicking its legs and leaping high into the air. When it was in mid-air, it touched the tree with its feet. In an instant, the tree body swayed, and it, like a discharged cannonball, rumbled towards me.

My pupils shrank suddenly. I stared at the monster flying at high speed and its pair of sharp claws. I touched the ground with one foot, suddenly exerted force, and jumped into the air. The next second, my body shook, and the Odachi sword on my back staggered. Shaking out the scabbard, he transferred Xi Lan's demon sword to his left hand. He fished it out with his right hand and firmly held the handle of the Odachi. At the same time, his body just landed firmly on the ground. The next second, the sword came out like wind, fiercely. Slash the fiercely charging monster.

The monster obviously didn't expect that the 'prey' in front of him would have so many tricks, and his expression was slightly startled, but at this moment, it was a critical moment, and there was no room for negligence, so he heard a muffled sound, and the Odachi sword He slashed along the gap between the claws and hit its neck with one knife. At the same time, Xi Lan's demon knife also raised its tip and aimed at the monster's belly to stab it.

The monster's claws are strong and sharp, but its torso is only slightly stronger than humans, but it cannot stop the incomparable sharpness of the Odachi and Xilan's demon sword.

After a miserable howl, the monster struggled for a moment and then died.

As someone with quite a lot of fighting experience, I naturally didn’t believe that it would burp so easily, so I continued to hold my double knives and practiced cooking skills. Seeing that the monsters were almost the same as chicken skeletons waiting to be cooked in the kitchen, I just relaxed. Take a breath.

However, before this breath could be exhaled, a slight splashing sound was heard not far away. Although the sound was soft, it was very rapid.

I secretly thought it was wrong, cut off the monster's sharp and strong claws with two knives, and escaped from the forest in a flash.

He ran so fast that he didn't even dare to look back, for fear that the monsters would chase him.

Approaching the edge of the forest, I stopped, climbed up a nearby tree, hid in the canopy, and quietly observed my surroundings.

One minute passed

Three minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

There was silence all around, and there was no more unusual noise. I breathed a sigh of relief. I quickly descended from the tree and took a few glances into the depths of the forest to make sure there were no monsters following me. Then I strode back to the town.

Along the way, the townspeople on both sides pointed at me and talked a lot. Some were curious about what I was holding, some were surprised that I came back alive, and some sneered, thinking that I was just on the outskirts of the forest. After turning around, as for the thing in his hand, it might be the paw of some kind of beast.

Naturally, I wouldn't argue with them. I walked to Zach's house without looking for anything else, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Zach's parents were horrified and at a loss when they saw what I was holding in my hand, and several of their children had fears on their faces.

Florence's parents, on the other hand, just exclaimed and then became quiet. They pointed at the thing in my hand with slightly trembling fingers and asked in a trembling voice: "Is this a monster?"

"It's just its claws." I shook my head and regretted, "I originally thought about bringing it back, but unfortunately its companions came."

Cagalli frowned and stared at the sharp claws in my hand. She was silent for a moment and said, "It must be a very tricky thing that can force you to turn around and run away without even taking care of restraining the body."

"If it's in the desert, I can fight ten of them alone, but in the forest, three at a time is the limit. If it's five, I'll probably lose."

I dropped my paw on the ground and smiled bitterly.

"It seems that we won't be able to use it this time to spawn monsters."

Kunna said regretfully.

"What a pity. I really want to use the hottest flames to send them to meet the God of Creation!"

Maggie clenched her little fists, looking even more regretful than Kunna.

"As I said, there should be no problem." Lilea stepped out from the crowd, twirling the delicate crossbow around her fingers like an arm.

"I won't hold you back." Yura shrugged helplessly: "I have to distract you, so why not take care of the little dormouse here."

"Me too," Susan said with a smile, "Belle and I are here waiting for your triumphant return."

"The forest is not my home field," the little lantern stammered, "If, if this was the ocean, I would spare no effort!"

"It's a pity that Celia is not here, otherwise I can ask her to figure out whether I can help on this trip."

Princess Analita curled her lips, implicitly expressing her unwillingness.
