Chapter 142 I'll go back later
The sharp teeth pierced through the flesh in an instant, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the wound. Feeling death approaching, the hyena man bitten by the beast began to struggle frantically.
During this time, four more hyena men rushed out from the surrounding bushes and pounced on the giant beast, trying to rescue the hyena man who was bitten.
Faced with this situation, the beast immediately displayed its most ferocious posture, biting the hyena man tightly, shaking its head continuously and exerting force, while it pounced and rushed towards the four hyena men who were ambushing in the surrounding grass.
The ferocious momentum made the four hyena men retreat and dared not get close.
During this process, the hyena man who was bitten by the beast, with blood constantly flowing out, his struggle became weaker and weaker. His mouth opened and closed several times, large amounts of blood foam continuously overflowed from his mouth, and at the same time he made a whimpering sound like begging.
But the beast not only did not show mercy, it even bit even more fiercely, and even made a movement similar to grinding its teeth, causing the blood in its mouth to flow out even more violently.
From a distance, the beast was biting the hyena man, and blood continued to overflow from between its teeth, then flowed down, as if forming a small blood waterfall.
When the hyena man it had bitten was completely dead, the beast threw the hyena man's body aside like throwing away a piece of garbage.
The corpse fell to the ground with a bang. At this moment, the hyena man's head was completely tilted to the side in an exaggerated manner. The neck, shoulder and chest were directly torn into a hole by the beast's sharp teeth.
Especially the part on the neck, which was directly pierced by the beast's thickest fang, causing fatal injury.
The death of this hyena man completely threw the surrounding hyena people into disarray.
Upon seeing this, the beast roared and started chasing.
In response, the four hyena men immediately scattered, howling frequently in the process, as if they were notifying other members of the tribe.
The hyenas who were attacking the grassland camp and had forced Zhou Xu to retreat and were preparing to escape on a raft were also stunned after hearing the howling.
Then they seemed to have lost their will to fight, and in the blink of an eye, they all ran away, leaving only the tribe members headed by Zhou Xu, looking at the grassland camp that had become a mess because of the battle, messy in the wind...
Zhou Xu really didn't expect this situation.
But anyway, they managed to escape.
While quickly giving orders and launching post-war work, Ye Jinghong also seized the opportunity to report some of the circumstances at the time to Zhou Xu.
"Did the beast fall into our trap?"
Zhou Xu had a subtle expression when he heard this.
[The roar of the beast at that time did not seem to come from the trap. Was it another beast coming from behind, or...]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu directly said...
"Let's go check out the trap first."
"Chief, please follow me."
As he spoke, Ye Jinghong led the way. The grassland camp was not very large to begin with, so the group quickened their pace and soon arrived at the trap.
Ye Jinghong was walking in front, so naturally he saw it before him, and then his face changed.
Zhou Xu saw this scene without thinking much about it. He walked forward and looked into the pit trap.
At this moment, the pit trap was already empty, but the bloodstains on the wooden stakes at the bottom of the trap silently told what had happened before.
"That beast is really not an ordinary creature. If an ordinary animal falls into this pit trap and is pierced by the wooden stakes at the bottom, even if it doesn't die on the spot, it can basically just wait for death. However, this beast not only did not die, it was even able to escape..."
While speaking, Zhou Xu had already opened his "Eye of Insight".
With the help of the 'Eye of Insight', his vision and observation skills were greatly enhanced, and he caught the bloodstains outside at a glance.
"Come with me."
Following the blood trail, under the leadership of Zhou Xu, the group soon found the body of the hyena man, who was bitten to death by the beast.
Based on the situation at the time and after appropriate analysis and speculation, Zhou Xu was able to quickly come to a conclusion.
[The roar at that time should have been from a beast that escaped from a trap and fought with the hyena man.]
During this period, Ye Jinghong was not idle either. His attention was all focused on the footprints around him.
"Chief, judging from the footprints, there was more than one hyena man here at the time."
"These guys are very cunning. I guess under the circumstances at that time, they also ambushed some of their forces in the bushes outside."
Hearing this, both Ye Jinghong who was standing there and Zhou Chongshan who followed showed a trace of lingering fear on their faces.
After this battle, they could be said to have personally experienced the gap in combat power between themselves and the hyena people.
The hyena people's fighting power was far stronger than they had imagined. If the other side really came out in full force, the situation would only be worse.
But think about it from another perspective. Hyena people are cunning and suspicious by nature, which determines their behavior and makes it unlikely that they will come out in full force.
"Chongshan, Jinghong, the two of you, straighten the body so I can see it."
"Chief, shouldn't we go track down the beast first?"
After receiving the order, although Ye Jinghong asked this, he still started doing what their leader told him to do.
“No hurry, no hurry.”
Zhou Xu was not in a hurry to find the beast.
The beast was obviously not a good person, and they were not clear about its nature. They had just experienced a battle, so there was no need to rush into trouble at this critical juncture.
Of course, that doesn't mean we should completely ignore the beast.
Seeing the confusion in Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan's eyes, Zhou Xu added a sentence at the right time.
"We'll go later."
However, his words made the two even more confused.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu slowly explained...
"That beast is very powerful. Let's go there later. If the beast is in better condition than we thought, then this amount of time will be enough for it to run away. We will have successfully avoided the risk and there will be no need to confront it head-on."
"On the other hand, if the beast is in a very bad condition, this amount of time will be enough to wear it down. By the time we arrive, even if it is not worn down by its injuries, it should be very weak. We can easily take it down and avoid a lot of trouble."
“…”
After listening to their leader's explanation, Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The meticulousness of their leader's mind was completely beyond their imagination.
