The appearance of that hairy monster in the grass really gave me a big fright.
Although the thing had the body of a human, its face was covered with eyes, like a bunch of grapes, and it was very agile.
Most importantly, even when I used the Two Realms Blade, it only left a half-centimeter-deep cut on it.
I can't deal with this thing; at least, with the tools I have now, I can't deal with it.
The Wei family members and I came to this patch of grass to search for Wei Shengnan. Now, being harassed by this monster, continuing the search is impossible. On the other side of this patch of grass, there is a cliff, and there is no way forward.
Since we can no longer achieve our goal here, there is no need for us to stay. Escaping this place of trouble as soon as possible is the wisest choice.
The monster was struck by my knife and fled elsewhere in pain, but it quickly returned. As the Wei family members and I ran, the bushes behind us rustled.
We had been wandering around in the bushes for ages without finding a path, but after running for more than ten meters, we finally saw the edge of the bushes. This means that the monster we were talking about had the ability to bewitch people.
Time was short, and I didn't have time to think much before rushing out of the bushes.
We emerged from a spot near the riverbank, with the rushing underground river just 20 meters ahead, a cliff to our right, and a fluorescent forest to our left.
"Over here!"
I quickly surveyed the terrain, then turned and ran into the forest, intending to use the terrain to shake off the guy.
As I was shouting, I tried to turn around to see where the Wei family members were, but before I could even turn my head, a tremendous force came from behind and sent me flying.
After I lay down on the ground, I slid along the ground like a skateboard. Although my rat suit was very durable, the uneven ground still made me feel a sharp pain.
Most importantly, during the gliding process, I felt a heavy object pressing down on me.
This means that after the monster rushed out of the bushes and pounced on me, we were thrown out together.
I shuffled along the ground for two or three meters, and the moment I regained my balance, I stomped my foot on the ground, throwing off everything I was carrying.
The thing pressing down on me was indeed that hairy monster.
After I flung it off me, it rolled on the ground, punched, and then reached out to grab the ground.
This creature's hands were similar to those of a human, but instead of human fingernails, they had sharp claws like those of a ferocious beast. The moment they scraped against the ground, they made a piercing sound. After regaining its balance, it pounced on me.
I saw the monster attacking, and there was no time to get up from the ground, so I gripped the knife hilt with both hands and pressed it against my lower abdomen. That way, as long as it pressed down on me, I could use my strength and the momentum of its fall to stab the knife into its body.
I was just getting ready last night when the monster came down from above. But it didn't pounce on me. Instead, it placed its hands on my shoulders first, then twisted its body in mid-air and landed on top of my head, grabbing my shoulders and throwing me away.
When it attacked the Wei family members just now, the several bloody holes in their chests showed me its ferocity. Seeing that it didn't take the bait, I grabbed its arms with both hands and pushed it out with all my might.
Immediately afterwards, my body flew up, but because I was holding onto the monster's arms tightly, I wasn't thrown off.
The monster was incredibly strong. After failing to land its first attack, it pounced on me again, its sharp claws slashing towards my throat.
Seeing the monster's movements, I grabbed its arm and pushed it aside with all my might.
The monster's claws scratched the ground, making a sound similar to scraping stone with nails, and you could even feel stone fragments hitting your face.
I tried my best, but I could only push the monster's arm away, and then it launched a second attack.
The arm I was holding felt like a robot's; the strength was something I couldn't resist. Moreover, the thing was extremely hot. When I gripped his arm, it felt like I was holding a scorching hot iron pipe, and my palms ached terribly.
While I was fighting the monster, the Wei family members rushed out of the bushes and, using the momentum of their run-up, kicked the monster off me.
Seeing the monster being kicked off me, I sprang up with a somersault, picked up the knife that had just fallen, and charged at the monster.
My original plan was to use the terrain to shake off this monster, but now it seems that its speed and strength are greater than ours. If we don't take it down, we have no way to escape.
I had just picked up the knife when the monster suddenly pounced on me. Seeing its movement, the Wei family members rushed forward without hesitation and hugged the monster tightly: "Mr. Duan, you go first!"
"roar!"
The monster roared, easily broke free from the Wei family member's arms, turned around and pounced on him.
I seized the opportunity and rushed forward, slashing at the monster's neck. However, I didn't get the result I expected. The monster's neck wasn't a weak point. After I slashed down, its body didn't even budge. Its claws tore open the rat-clothes of the Wei family member, leaving a horrifying wound on his chest.
"Bang!"
I seized the opportunity, kicked the monster off the Wei family member, then pulled the Wei family member up from the ground and dragged him into the woods.
"Mr. Duan!"
"Mr. Duan!"
"...!"
As I ran, the monster behind me sped up and caught up, constantly calling my name in the voice of a member of the Wei family.
The Wei family member, wounded in the chest, became breathless after running only a short distance: "Mr. Duan, I can't keep up anymore. I'll hold him off, you go first!"
"We can't outrun that thing. I'm only here to use the terrain!"
I was completely exhausted by then. As I heard the sounds behind us getting closer, I pulled him behind a large rock, then took out the signal gun I was carrying and inserted a flare into it.
When I first started looking for other people, I thought about firing signal flares, but I was afraid of attracting other teams. At this moment, I only had two flares left, which were the only firearms I had.
Seeing my movements, the Wei family members guessed what I was going to do: "Mr. Duan, will this thing be useful?"
"Although there is light in this underground space, it is relatively dim. I bet the creatures here can't withstand the stimulation of strong light!"
I cocked the flare gun, paused for a moment, and said, "If I bet wrong, we'll have to fight to the death!"
