0050 A Way Out
0050 A Way Out
Thump~ Thump~...
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the mountains, rapidly approaching.
After the Thunder Dragon made a sharp turn, the speeding flatbed truck appeared in front of it.
Zhuge Rabbit was seen riding in a car with a human.
The Thunder Dragon was momentarily confused, then erupted into uncontrollable rage.
After the roaring and venting stopped, a large amount of snow rolled down the slope.
Upon seeing this, Zhuge Tu and the rest of the team also cried out in terror amidst the violent shaking.
The dragon suddenly accelerated its crawl, and just as it was close enough to leap up and pounce, the previously panicked Li Ai suddenly calmed down, threw a flashbang, and the intense flash caused it to fall.
"The dragon's head is spinning! Everyone run!"
Zhuge Tu shouted.
The Tigrex quickly got up, shaking its head as if trying to continue the pursuit as soon as possible.
Clearly, it had an absolute advantage in terms of speed, but then it heard the sound of wheels rolling closer.
She didn't pay much attention at first, until a sharp blade slashed into the laceration of her forepaw.
Click~
A sound like the keratin at the tip of a claw cracking rang out.
In excruciating pain, the Tigrex had no choice but to retreat, but as soon as its other forepaw touched the snow, another attack came simultaneously.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Sizzle!
The other front paw was scratched twice. Once it cracked a little bit of the carapace, and once it was scratched off course and did not reach the wound, but only grazed the surface.
"Her front paws are vulnerable! Everyone, attack!"
After Zhuge Tu finished shouting, Honglong immediately took two steps back warily.
However, upon closer listening, it was discovered that the sound of the wheels was fading away.
As the intense light gradually dissipated, the flatbed truck turned into the downhill bend and disappeared from sight.
Hey!
Realizing it had been tricked, the Tigrex roared again, its anger reaching its peak.
From the front paws to the head, a whole patch of bright red blood vessels bulged out, roaring as it crawled at high speed.
Before he had run two steps, his body suddenly veered to the side and slipped.
Bang!
It slammed its other front paw on the ground, using its powerful strength to twist its body and forcefully straighten its head.
Looking down, I saw that the tip of the three-toed claw on the side that caused the slippage had two broken off due to the slashing. Although only one claw on the other side had been scratched off, the wounds and cracks caused by the mutation and enhancement were already very obvious.
Realizing its weakness had been exploited, the Tigrex slowed its crawling speed.
On the flatbed truck, Zhuge Tu, looking back, speculated, "It seems she's stopped the pursuit."
"If it's a Tigrex, they probably won't give up."
As Li Ai finished speaking, who was sharpening his hunter's curved axe, the sound of his footsteps became rapid again, and due to the great force, the ground and the mountain shook.
Thud! Thud! ...
As the sound approached, plumes of snow mist erupted from behind.
The Tigrex used its forepaws to slam down hard with each strike to prevent slipping, and chased after them from behind.
"This... is so unreasonable, meow."
Kabu was quite helpless.
"After becoming a monster girl, Tigrex's understanding and application of her own abilities has also greatly improved."
Li Ai sighed.
The heavy stomping slowed their pace considerably, but it was clear by sight that catching up with the team was only a matter of time.
"I still..."
Zhuge Tu was only halfway through his sentence when Li Ai raised her hand to stop him.
"Judging from her state of anger, she's probably on the verge of losing her mind. If you go now, you'll probably be torn to pieces."
"But if this continues, we'll all die."
"Not necessarily. Its current speed is only slightly faster than Qingtian's. If the claw tip is completely destroyed, it will be impossible to catch up."
"Want to do it again?"
Zhuge Tu couldn't believe it.
"Yes, but with the experience from last time, the strategies and tools used this time might not be as effective. In short... this is a decisive blow."
After Li Ai finished speaking, he stared at the approaching Thunder Dragon behind him.
This time, the opponent did not leap up to pounce, but instead crawled and approached directly.
The flashbang was thrown again, and the Tigrex shook its head slightly. This time, the only effect it had was to deflect slightly off course.
However, because it was on a slope and turning, the Thunder Dragon's turning and climbing motion deviated slightly, causing it to crash directly into the mountain.
Unfortunately, the slope and the mountainside were not made of frozen soil or rock. The Tigrex crashed directly into the ice crystal mountain and crossed behind the flatbed truck.
Li Ai has already taken her two doses of Trenbolone and Convalescent tablets in her mouth today.
After swallowing it quickly, he felt his heart skip a beat.
The thunder dragon leaped and slammed down, its body slowing down in mid-air.
A drop of saliva about to drip from the sharp teeth inside the thunder dragon's mouth seemed to freeze the snow mist that was about to rise.
Li Ai aimed at the claw tip that was slashing towards him, slashed vertically with his sword, and then twisted his body to launch a spinning slash.
Oh!
An arc-shaped slashing trajectory swept across, followed by a piercing cutting sound.
Blood and bits of keratin from the claws splattered outwards.
The tips of the two claws were shattered, and the blade of the hunter's curved axe touched the hard forepaw bones of the Tigrex.
Crack!
Sparks flew as the blade deflected.
The massive impact sent Li Ai flying backward, crashing down the hillside.
Thud! Thud! ...
As it tumbled and fell, the chain set made of ore clanged and rattled.
"Senior Xike Rui... is it really possible to survive falling down a mountain like that?"
Li Ai, who was dizzy from the fall, couldn't help but wonder.
Suddenly, the rolling stopped, and Li Ai found herself being picked up, feeling a warmth.
After regaining consciousness and seeing clearly, he realized that it was Zhuge Rabbit, who had transformed into a white rabbit beast, holding him in her arms and sliding down the hillside back to back.
Li Ai noticed a stream of blood sliding down from her head to her face, but instead of paying attention, she smiled easily.
With only one claw remaining, the Tigrex no longer had a chance to catch up with the flatbed truck.
But after looking back, Li Ai's expression changed drastically; the dragon's head had already emerged from the top of the cliff.
Call ~
After exhaling a puff of misty white air, the ground-lying Thunder Dragon suddenly leaped up and continued its gliding pursuit.
"Don't stop when you reach the foot of the mountain! Escape immediately!"
"Awoo!"
Zhuge Tu responded, and as soon as his bottom touched the snow at the foot of the mountain, he tossed Li Ai upwards, letting him land on his back.
After gripping the fluffy fur on its back, Zhuge Rabbit skimmed along the snow and began to glide at high speed.
On the flat snowfield, two tall hunters appeared.
"The White Rabbit Beast is using a high-risk flare? Did some novice hunter use the wrong flare?"
Dawei, the younger brother carrying the White Velociraptor Greatsword, looked quite puzzled.
"There's really nothing we can do with these novice hunters, but since they've all come to help, it doesn't really matter."
After the eldest brother and second brother finished speaking, they picked up the binoculars to look around, and were immediately stunned.
"this..."
"What's wrong, brother?"
David asked curiously.
"Li Ai seems to be practicing that legendary hunting technique—mounted attack!"
Erhao said excitedly.
"He's already a three-star hunter, so it shouldn't be him who fired the distress flare."
David speculated.
It is indeed difficult for a three-star hunter to hunt a white rabbit beast alone in the wild, but it is still possible to escape and save his life.
Thump~ Thump~...
The two men froze when a heavy thud was heard.
As a hunter born and raised in Bokai Village, he was all too familiar with this sound of the ground being slammed.
The two could even predict that what followed would be a series of heavy, resounding stomps.
"It's a Tigrex... but we're at the foot of the mountain!"
David was incredulous.
Pokai Village is not what it used to be. Ever since Sikorei became the resident hunter, he has been continuously hunting Tigrexes, and it is now very rare for him to be attacked at the foot of the mountain.
"I'll guide Li Ai! You fire a signal flare to update the distress signal location!"
After Erhao finished speaking, he started running, waving and shouting.
Upon seeing the two brothers, Li Ai immediately shouted, "It's a Tigrex! Retreat immediately!"
"I know! Run that way!"
Erhao shouted, then pointed out the direction to Li Ai.
call!
A plume of snow sprayed up, and the distance between the two quickly increased.
Why did you run this way?
"Can you ride and attack a white rabbit beast and then guide it to turn?"
Soon, a question popped into both of their minds.
But with the Tigrex right behind them, there was no time to investigate further.
Before long, the white rabbit beast, which had been gliding along, was so tired that it was trembling slightly.
The Tigrex's speed also slowed down, but because the flat ground greatly reduced the possibility of slipping, it still kept up closely.
"What's over here? Why did Erhao make me run this way...?"
Just as Li Ai was puzzled, two figures, one human and one cat, appeared on the snow.
"You're a lone hunter, you shouldn't be coming to help!"
Li Ai waved his hand, about to inform the other party that there was an extremely dangerous Tigrex chasing them from behind.
But they quickly realized something was wrong, because the sound of the thunder dragon's stomping footsteps travels very far, and the opponent should have been able to hear it at this distance.
As they drew closer, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
Cecori, clad in Dragon Armor and carrying the Dragon Blade: Sky-Slaying Shadow, appears alongside his companion cat Diamond.
"Haha, great timing! Who says lone hunters can't provide support... We're here!"
"Woohoo~..."
In contrast to Li Ai's excitement, Zhuge Tu let out a frightened cry.
"Don't be afraid, just move forward a little further and transform into a monster girl, then we'll be safe."
Li Ai crawled forward and began to soothe Zhuge Rabbit by stroking its head.
呲味~
As they approached Xikore, the white rabbit beast suddenly braked and transformed into a monster girl while rolling over.
Then he lay down on the ground in a starfish position and began to breathe heavily.
"It's happening again, meow!"
Diamond had traveled with Sikor to hunt and had seen a lot, but apart from the Uranus, he had never seen another monster that could transform into human form.
"I never thought I'd see you again..."
Sikeri was also surprised.
"It's the individual with the abnormally proliferating forelimbs!"
Li Ai only mentioned one characteristic, and Xi Ke Rui excitedly ran out.
"Love Hunter, do you need help, meow?"
Diamond wasn't worried at all and inquired about Li Ai's condition.
"I'm fine, the emergency medical team will be here soon."
"Then I'm going to attack, meow... Sicouree! Wait for me, meow!"
The thunderous stomping sound quickly became rapid again, but this time it was from a distance.
"Why is that human's aura even more terrifying than that of a Tigrex?"
Zhuge Rabbit, who had sat up, asked a question.
"Because she was the strongest hunter in the world, the reason why the snow mountain is now at peace is thanks to her and Bokai Village."
"I never knew humans could be this amazing."
"So don't throw snowballs at humans randomly anymore, or you might run into her."
The one who specifically hunts the two monsters is actually the chief hunter of the Dragon Academy.
However, Li Ai would not miss such a good opportunity for positive guidance.
"Uh... okay, I won't smash humans anymore."
Zhuge Tutu's ears drooped, and although she seemed reluctant, she still gave her assurance.
Before long, Qingtian arrived pulling a flatbed cart.
The cats worked together to lift the injured Li Ai into the car, and then headed towards the village.
Near the trade route outside the village, Zhuge Rabbit followed Qingtian and remained on the plain.
Although the environment is not suitable for the White Rabbit Beast to inhabit, even without the threat of the Tigrex, there is still the Giant Monster Girl in the snow mountain, so we can only make do for now.
The rescue team pushed the flatbed cart into the village, and the clinic quickly provided treatment.
Laceration of the hand, dislocated and fractured arm, hematoma on the head, and multiple contusions throughout the body...
Despite the numerous and serious injuries, the doctor did not appear particularly anxious.
The reason is that Li Ai is too strong. Based on medical experience, people with such a strong physique do not need to worry too much.
However, in order to heal faster and ensure that the fractured area can grow and recover normally, the doctor still put a plaster cast on Li Ai for fixation.
Five days later, the flatbed cart was pushed out of the village by the cats.
Besides Li Ai, the car also carried Campbell, a cautious investigator.
"stop!"
"What's wrong, Investigator Campbell?"
They hadn't gone far when the other party suddenly called for a stop, which surprised Li Ai.
"I'm not injured, but it's a bit uncomfortable on the flatbed cart, so I'll walk instead."
"No problem. I've been lying in bed for so long, I should move around a bit."
As Li Ai spoke, she got out of the car.
"Have you heard anything from Senior Xikeri?"
Li Ai was still very concerned about the hunting results, but since this was not a large-scale hunting operation, the guild would not display the progress and results in real time.
"Last night, Xikorei returned to the village. According to the hunting report she submitted, just as the Tigrex was dying, a giant beast triggered an avalanche, blocking the passage through the mountains. Although the individual beast had slightly different fur color, the guild did not consider it a hunting target, so she did not take the opportunity to hunt it."
"They actually became partners, and they can even cover the Tigrex's retreat. That boss is no ordinary person."
Li Ai couldn't even imagine how to bring together the hostile monster girl for cooperation, but the other party had already succeeded.
"This is bad. Now, thanks to Tigrex's dictation, I'm destined to be found out by them."
The thought of the other party finding out that they were also taming monster girls sent chills down Li Ai's spine.
Judging from her performance, this mysterious monster girl is incredibly strong and must be top-tier in terms of intelligence; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to transform into her monster girl form through sheer willpower and experimentation.
"Li Ai, I also have something I'd like to ask you."
As Campbell spoke, he lifted the heavy book slung across his shoulder and opened it.
"Please speak."
"This doesn't quite fit the authentication process, but you're the only one who can verify it. How can we confirm that the monster girl we've captured is the target in the commission?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Ai felt that Campbell truly deserved to be called a cautious investigator.
"It can guide the transformation into a monster and confirm its characteristics."
"Can it turn back?"
Campbell looked surprised.
This familiar subject is completely unknown to the other party.
