42 Assassin (1/2)
”I will take the huge one and leave the rest to you!” Tang Shaoyang dashed forward.
Lu An immediately followed, ”I will be taking the two apes on the right!”
”What? Hey, wait, wait!” Zhang Mengyao called out in a panic as her two companions left her alone behind.
She felt the two men were too careless. Attacking the big one without looking at the big picture. What if there were smaller apes ambushing them from the fog. It would be fatal for then.
Zhang Mengyao stayed behind while scanning the surroundings.
It seemed the group of four apes perceived the human's intention. Two smaller apes charged toward Lu An while the other one rushed toward Zhang Mengyao, leaving the mini lord to face Tang Shaoyang.
*** ***
Zhang Mengyao advanced cautiously until she perceived something coming toward her.
She looked up and found a big ape coming toward her. The distance between them was two meters.
With the current ape's speed. The girl was aware she would not be able to dodge the ape's fist.
Zhang Mengyao put her shield forward and received the big fist.
”Grrrhhhh!” She grunted heavily as her footing was slid back. She was being pushed back for five meters.
In such a time, Zhang Mengyao activated [Basic Detection] on the ape.
————————————
[Beast - Fogged Ape Guardian]
Affiliation: Fogged Ape Tribe
Evolution: Stage 3
Level: 52
Skill:???
————————————
”Level 52!? Stage 3!!!” Zhang Mengyao muttered nervously as numb sensation started to spread around her hand.
So far, she only had faced Stage 2 Fogged Ape with Level 40 being the highest level.
But her current opponent was on another level. Stage 3 and level 52, it was normal for her to be nervous.
'Then what about the giant one?' Just as she wanted to check the biggest ape, the ape in front of her leaped toward her, giving her no chance to cast another [Basic Detection].
This time, Zhang Mengyao reacted faster, and as she leaped one step back.
'Its attribute is certainly higher than mine. Blocking its attack is unwise. Only block it when it's necessary and aim the vital spot, '
Boom!
The two big arms smashed the spot where Zhang Mengyao stood just now.
”A vital spot? I don't know much about the ape, but the neck is the common vital spot! But I can't reach the neck,'
'Ah, immobilize it by attacking its feet then kill it afterward!'
With a plan formulated in her mind, Zhang Mengyao took a step forward and slashed his sword at the Fogged Ape Guardian's thigh.
Slurgh!
The sword sliced through the thigh, leaving a shallow cut behind. The gray fur turned red, but it was not enough to immobilize the ape.
Afterward, Zhang Mengyao leaped two steps back. Making the Fogged Ape Guardian swung its thick arm against empty air.
”You chose the wrong opponent, stupid monkey!” The girl cheekily taunted the ape.
Even though she said so, her thoughts were different. She was looking at the cut on the ape's thigh.
'The ape has a thicker skin and my sword is just an ordinary sword! It only suffered a minor cut! Then, I have to aim my sword at the exact same spot next!'
”Guwooo!” It seemed the apes understood what the girl said. It furiously hit his broad chest and let out a furious growl.
Bump! Bump! Bump!
Swoosh!
The ape made another leap and smashed its two arms downwards.
Boom!
Once again, it only hit the empty spot, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
Zhang Mengyao avoided the attack by taking a sidestep to the right and slashed her sword at the exact same thigh again.
This time she was not as lucky as before as the Fogged Ape Guardian reacted fast. After its thigh was cut, it immediately swung its thick arm at Zhang Mengyao.
In such a narrow time, Zhang Mengyao had no choice but put her shield forward to block the incoming attack.
Bam!
”Arghhh!” Zhang Mengyao grunted heavily as she held the huge force behind the ape's arm.
She was almost getting thrown away from blocking the arm, proving the ape's attribute was much higher.
'It reacted faster than before, I have to be careful as it might get faster again,' She kept analyzing her opponent as the fight went on and she gained an upper hand as the battle continued.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the two Fogged Ape Guardians were chasing after Lu An.
Lu An did not confront his opponents. He kept running away from the two apes, not he was afraid or stalling time. He was probing the enemy's speed.
Amongst the three, Lu An was the only one who had an unbalanced attribute. He had an extremely high Agility attribute. His speed was his advantage.
Now, he was probing the ape's speed and he found out the ape was much slower than him.
'With my speed, I can confront it and don't need to worry they will catch me, '
”Status Screen!”
