Chapter 19 : Beast Hunt (Part 2)
Although the hunter's side had succeeded in their sneak attack, landing two saber blows and two arrows in succession, which greatly weakened the demonic beast's movement speed and added quite a few wounds to its body, beasts were naturally much more resilient to damage than humans, not to mention that this was a beast that had cultivated into a demon.
Even with such severe injuries, if the demonic beast's paw landed a solid blow, these hunters wearing two layers of armor would have to die on the spot!
Therefore, the performance of the five people in the field was mainly based on stability.
Although each of them held the determination that it didn't matter if they died here, no one wanted to actively seek death.
This demonic beast was injured and had to stay here no matter what.
As long as they fought steadily, they could solve it.
There was no need to take risks.
But the development of the matter was destined not to go as they had expected.
For this demonic beast to be called a "demon," it naturally had extraordinary aspects.
Even if its only characteristics were being fast, having a loud voice, and great strength, which could be said to be plain and unadorned, pure stats could sometimes create miracles not to mention that these hunters couldn't understand its stats at all!
The hunter holding a long spear took a step forward and delivered an ordinary straight thrust, aiming for the demonic beast's injured eye.
This target was small, but if it hit, it might be able to kill the demonic beast directly.
It didn't matter if it missed; with a retract and a flick, he could completely stab the beast in other places.
The spear is the king of a hundred weapons!
The hunter thrust with all his might, but secretly held back thirty percent of his strength to change his move or even abandon the spear to dodge.
This demonic beast's paw could break a tree!
He didn't want to receive it in the slightest!
With a squelch, the sound of the spear entering flesh was heard.
The hunter took a closer look and found that his thrust had actually hit the demonic beast's injured eye.
He was overjoyed, feeling that the credit for killing this demonic beast was about to be his.
So he added a bit more strength to his hands and even gave Lao Xuetou opposite him a look, telling him to come up and deliver another saber blow!
Lao Xuetou didn't hesitate in the slightest either, coming up with his already chipped long saber.
The other three hunters maintained their guard on the outer circle and did not rush forward rashly.
The spear-wielding hunter did not divert his attention to look at them.
He didn't even look at the place where his long spear had hit, but stared intently at the demonic beast's front paw, staring at the bloody weapon that could take him away with a single strike.
He was too afraid of being hit by surprise.
One strike, just one strike, and this beast with unbelievably great strength could take him away.
He was not Xun Qiu, who had no father, mother, wife, or children.
The reason he came to participate in this dangerous hunt was only because his father had fallen seriously ill and needed a priceless medicinal herb.
He had no money and didn't know where to buy that thing… but Master Su definitely knew.
He had no other choice.
As long as I kill this beast!
As long as I kill it, my old man can be saved!
The hunter's heart hardened, and the strength in his hands increased by a few more degrees.
He was about to make the spearhead directly pierce through the beast's skull and turn its brain into mush.
Suddenly, a “crack” entered his ears.
What was that sound?
He subconsciously raised his head and saw the demonic beast close its eyelids, and then.
It snapped the tip of the long spear!
“What?!”
The spearhead remained in its already mangled eye socket, stuck in its hard skull.
The hunter, who had already put all his strength into the spear, suddenly lost his balance and fell forward.
His grip on the spear was very steady, but a spear with a broken tip had no killing power to speak of.
The rough wooden broken end slid across the demonic beast's face, leaving not a single trace.
He only saw the demonic beast's movements suddenly become unbelievably fast.
It twisted its body to dodge Lao Xuetou's saber, lowered its body, raised its right paw, and with a slap, almost in an instant, the world fell into darkness.
“Old Li!!!”
Lao Xuetou, whose saber had missed, his eyes about to split.
He saw the hunter with the surname Li, whom he had known for over ten years, being hit by a paw, his chest directly caving in, and his whole person flying backwards and crashing into the forest, with no hope of survival.
He also became ruthless.
Without any technique, he chopped at the demonic beast's waist from behind.
As the saying goes, copper head, iron brain, tofu waist.
This demonic beast looked like a wolf, moved like a wolf, so its body structure must be similar to a wolf's, and its waist was naturally the most vulnerable part.
As long as this blow landed, it would definitely not be so agile anymore!
But the power that this beast erupted with between life and death completely surpassed common sense.
It turned around at a speed that surpassed human dynamic vision.
Although it was still struck by the saber, it completely avoided the waist.
At the same time, it bit down on Lao Xuetou's saber, and with the force of its upper and lower jaws, it directly bit it into a pile of irregular iron pieces!
The pain of the blade pieces entering the flesh and inserting into its mouth was unimaginable, but the demonic beast, whose ferocity had been aroused, ignored it and, using all its strength, crashed into Lao Xuetou, who was the greatest threat to it, sending him flying!
The hunter in the forest saw the situation in the field deteriorate in an instant, and his heart was horrified, but the longbow in his hand did not stop.
Another sharp arrow was shot out.
The demonic beast, blind in one eye, its ears moved, and without looking, it slapped the arrow away with a backhand!
The other three saber-wielding hunters were shocked, but they also knew that this was the beast's death struggle.
Instead of retreating, they advanced.
Three long sabers went towards its head, front paw, and waist, completely sealing off all its escape routes.
However, the demonic beast did not dodge at all.
Without flinching, it directly took all the attacks, gaining three more wounds on its body and head.
It swept its left paw, directly tearing open the armor on one hunter's chest, leaving three wounds on his body where the bone was faintly visible, directly causing his whole body to go limp and lose the ability to fight.
Its strength erupted again, and it bit the hand of the hunter who had chopped at its head.
That hunter also reacted in time, throwing the saber and catching it again, using his left hand to hold the saber and chop again, but in his haste, his strength was insufficient, and besides adding a new wound to the beast's head, it was completely useless.
The joints of his right arm made a series of sounds.
He was actually bitten by the demonic beast and thrown into the sky, then fiercely smashed onto the ground.
His whole person's mind instantly went blank, and he was dragged by the beast's body and thrown out, falling into the lake.
“Fuck his mother!”
The last hunter cursed, feigning to run, luring the demonic beast to bite at him, but this was a feint.
He squatted down to dodge the huge, menacing mouth, and with a backhand, he drew the dagger from his waist, cutting a bloody gash under the beast's body, and with his five fingers forming a claw, he forcefully dug out a piece of flesh.
Another arrow was shot from afar.
The demonic beast roared again, the sound waves rolling, and it was knocked down in mid-air.
The distance was too close, and the hunter under its body inevitably fell into a state of mental blankness.
A monster, it was a complete monster!
The demonic beast pulled back, about to lower its head and bite the person under it to death.
Su Wantian in the forest had at some point already picked up Lao Xuetou's shortbow.
He shot an arrow, with good aim, and it plunged into the demonic beast's waist.
With a successful strike, he directly threw away the longbow, drew his dagger, and with a loud shout:
“Beast!”
This successfully attracted the demonic beast's attention.
It raised its head and glanced at the distant Su Wantian, knowing that it was this guy who had made it become like this.
It immediately roared in anger and rushed towards Su Wantian.
The hunter who had been saved by Su Wantian was affected by fatigue and the dizziness caused by the waves of sound, and was already at the end of his strength.
At this moment, however, a wave of strength from an unknown source suddenly rose up.
He directly grabbed the demonic beast's long tail, and with an up and down movement of his dagger, amidst the splashing of blood, he actually cut it off directly!
Even so, the demonic beast still rushed towards Su Wantian!
