One, two, three, four, five…

What appeared were five demon cats!

Damn, it turns out that demon cats have a habit of living in groups?

At present, the five demon cats were staring at Lu Ran and the others.

It would be fine if there were just five demon cats.

Lu Ran also discovered that among the five demon cats that arrived, one was very different from the other four.

Four of them are similar to the demon cat that appeared before, and their size is far smaller than that of Mr. Ha.

But the last one was a lot bigger, and its size was comparable to the original Boss Ha. Its body was not as skinny as the other demon cats, but full of muscles.

[Race]: Demon Cat [Attributes]: Unawakened

[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 3

Lu Ran glanced over with his data eyes and immediately pursed his lips. It was a level 3 demon cat...

At this moment, Lu Ran really wanted to say, why not just slip away.

Although Mr. Ha is very brave, two fists cannot beat four hands.

However, the five demon cats in front of them had obviously surrounded them, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to...

what to do.

Let Mr. Ha enter that state? Lu Ran previously called Mr. Ha's state the normal state, so there must be an abnormal state.

If we regard Lu Ran’s superpowers and strange dreams as a disease.

In fact, Lu Ran was not the only one who was sick.

Mr. Ha also has it, perhaps this is also the reason why the two met.

Once it gets excited in fighting, it loses its reason and sense of pain, just like a mad dog.

In this state, Mr. Ha's potential seems to be fully stimulated and his combat effectiveness is greatly increased.

At present, only Lu Ran’s telepathy can awaken Mr. Ha from this state.

Mr. Ha still has hidden potential, which is why Lu Ran believes in its fighting ability.

But in fact, Lu Ran didn't want Mr. Ha to enter that state.

He always felt that that state was somewhat dangerous, and every time he came out of that state, he would be unconscious for a while.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

"Don't worry about me, just reduce their numbers quickly."

"At the same time, keep an eye on the demon cat leader."

With his previous combat experience, Lu Ran adapted fairly quickly and immediately gave instructions to General Ha.

While picking fruits, Lu Ran also found a new weapon, a handy wooden stick.

The wooden stick was quite hard, and with his enhanced physical fitness, Lu Ran felt that as long as he didn't get hurt on the neck or other parts of his body by the demon cat's claws, he still had a good chance of killing one.

Of course, the premise is those low-level demon cats.

If it was that huge level 3 demon cat, Lu Ran felt that it would be a bit difficult for him to deal with it.

So, this depends on Mr. Ha.

“Meow!!!”

However! Surprisingly, the demon cat that was suspected to be the leader did not seem to have any intention of attacking first.

It roared, and the four level 1~2 demon cats rushed up first.

Perhaps they felt that Mr. Ha was more of a threat, so their targets were surprisingly consistent. After leaping over, they all swung their sharp claws at Mr. Ha, and did not target Lu Ran.

Whoosh! A flying stone hits out.

"Lucky, I won."

In the blink of an eye, three demon cats successfully approached Mr. Xiang Ha. As for the one that stopped moving, it was hit on the head by a stone during the action, and its expression was stunned.

Lu Ran, holding a stick in one hand and throwing stones with the other, looked at the demon cat that he had hit and was looking at him with a cruel look, and held the stick even tighter.

At the same time, Mr. Ha had already engaged in a battle with three demon cats. He still showed extremely strong fighting power. In just one confrontation, he bit the neck of a demon cat, and blood splattered. It was another instant kill. However, given his current situation, he could only defeat one demon cat instantly. The attacks of the other two demon cats undoubtedly fell on Mr. Ha. The claws flashed, and in just a blink of an eye, Mr. Ha's back and sides were torn apart, blood gushed out, and his skin and flesh burst.

"Ouch!!!" Mr. Ha felt a terrifying pain, his blue pupils were bloodshot, and he angrily rushed towards a demon cat close to him. Although Lu Ran really wanted to care about Mr. Ha's situation now, he had attracted the attention of a demon cat and was in a very dangerous situation.

While Mr. Ha was fighting against the three demon cats, Lu Ran rushed over with a wooden stick, and the demon cat that was hit also flew into the air and tore at him with its claws.

Lu Ran was waving a wooden stick and realized that the demon cat was trying to tear his weapon with its claws. Judging from the sharpness of the demon cat's claws, the wooden stick might really be torn apart. However, Lu Ran, who was holding a long-handled weapon, was not going to fight the opponent head-on. Taking advantage of the length of the long-handled weapon, he changed the trajectory of his attack and directly avoided the opponent's claw attack. With a bang, he poked the wooden stick into the demon cat's body. Under the impact, the demon cat was instantly stabbed several meters away.

"The stick should have been sharpened."

It can be said that half of the reason why Mr. Ha is so obedient now is because of the education and training he received from Lu Ran.

Otherwise, who is thinking about suppressing its fighting desire?

The call of "Master Lu" was also Master Ha's recognition of Lu Ran! At this moment, Lu Ran's goal was to quickly hit the demon cat's head with another blow. Unfortunately, the previous blow was obviously not fatal. The demon cat landed on the ground in just a moment, then stood up flexibly and rushed over again fiercely.

"It's useless." Lu Ran thought to himself, planning to use the same trick again.

However, just when Lu Ran was concentrating his attention, suddenly, a roar came out, causing the demon cat, which was about to attack again, to suddenly stop, as if it had given up the attack. It immediately stopped and took a few steps back.

This roar made Lu Ran's expression freeze. He quickly looked at the demon cat leader, thinking that it was going to attack, as it was its roar just now.

However, what surprised Lu Ran was that the "demon cat leader" in the distance did not launch an attack after a cry, but looked at him deeply in a very human way, then turned around and left.

At the same time, except for the demon cat whose neck was bitten off by Mr. Ha, the remaining two all chose to retreat, as if they wanted to follow the demon cat leader away.

“Ouch—” Seeing this, Mr. Ha seemed to want to chase him, but Lu Ran immediately ordered: “Wait.”

Lu Ran's orders were still effective. Upon hearing this, although Mr. Ha still maintained a ferocious attitude and stared at the retreating demon cats, he had already begun to suppress his ferocity.

Being injured and bleeding is one of the conditions for Mr. Ha to enter the mad dog state. At present, it has been achieved.

But seeing that the group of demon cats were about to retreat, Lu Ran hesitated.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ran and his friends, who were in a stalemate with the four demon cats, saw the demon cats completely retreat back into the jungle.

As the demon cat disappeared, Lu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his whole body, and looked at his shaking hands.

Although he didn't know why the demon cat leader ordered a retreat, if they continued fighting, it would obviously be disadvantageous to him and Mr. Ha. Even if they won in the end, it would be a tragic victory with heavy injuries.

He still wanted to say, is this a novice trial? "Ah." At this time, Mr. Ha seemed very depressed, dissatisfied with his ability to kill five people in one second. As for one against five... he didn't think he would lose.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ha, the situation here is too complicated. I can't let you fight to your heart's content. Maybe next time... hm? Wait." As he spoke, Lu Ran noticed that there seemed to be some changes in Mr. Ha.

[Race]: Snow Dog

[Attribute]: Unawakened

[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 2

[Skills]: None

Unconsciously, Mr. Ha, who had just killed a demon cat, had reached level 2 in his growth level, and his attributes in all aspects had obviously increased.

That is why, although he was caught twice just now, Mr. Ha, who reacted quickly, was still able to knock the demon cat beside him several meters away in an instant. His strength was incredible.

This change made Lu Ran happy.

"Perhaps the demon cat leader noticed that Mr. Ha's aura had become stronger and decided to retreat."

"They should also be extremely unfamiliar to us."

"That's why a high-level demon cat leader would let his subordinates test him."

"And the result of the test is that Mr. Ha can kill a low-level demon cat in an instant, and he seems to be getting braver and braver as the battle goes on, and his aura is gradually getting stronger."

"Although they have the advantage in numbers, the demon cat leader doesn't dare to take the risk of getting hurt just for the sake of two prey."

"In nature, if a predator is injured during hunting, what awaits it is often a decline in its status within the group and fatal danger from its natural enemies."

"Although the projected creatures here are extremely aggressive, they hunt for food rather than simply attacking without thinking. They still retain some instincts of natural creatures. In other words, my initial judgment was correct. In some battles, you don't have to win completely. As long as you make your opponent feel afraid and afraid to fight, you can survive."

In a flash, Lu Ran analyzed the situation. Although he didn't know if it was correct, it seemed to be one of the few explanations at the moment.

"Anyway, Boss Ha, come and treat him as soon as possible." Facing Boss Ha who had made another great contribution, Lu Ran looked at its wound, and then looked at the hemostatic mushrooms he had collected: "Although I don't know the effect of this thing, I can only rely on it now."

I hope this thing is more effective than the medicines he prepared.

"Woof." In response to Lu Ran's call, Mr. Ha nodded.

"Woof?"

But the next moment, Mr. Ha, who was walking towards Lu Ran and wanted to receive treatment, was suddenly confused and looked at Lu Ran's neck blankly.

There, a golden light was emitted from somewhere unknown.

It was Lu Ran’s heirloom deer antler amulet pendant. At some point, it began to emit a faint light.

This sudden change was exactly what stopped Mr. Ha from moving forward.

As the golden light approached, Mr. Ha felt as if his blood was suppressed, as if he had encountered a tiger, making his eyes clearer.

The light became stronger and stronger. It was dim at first. At this time, even Lu Ran began to notice the changes in the pendant he was wearing. As he observed, he couldn't help but reveal a confused expression.

Because the Data Eye obtained after entering the secret realm, at this moment... at this moment, it actually captured the information of the heirloom amulet that I brought from the outside world! [Name]: Broken Horn of the Divine Deer [Level]: Epic [Introduction]: The horns of the legendary divine deer will breed healing power after absorbing the power of the forest with rich natural energy.
