Chapter 366 (1/2)

The Flaming Horn Tribesman

Shao Xuan immediately leapt off the tree the moment the creature appeared.

In order to handle the problem, Shao Xuan thought it was better not to fight at close quarters. This was because the creature was agile and had an inherent advantage with the surroundings.

It was a strange animal, it looked like a brownish monkey in a bigger size yet at the same time, it wasn’t like a monkey. It had long and flexible limbs, its soles on its feet and toes were equally long.

It could also hide its sharp sickle claws in-between its toes just like a cat! The creature could wave its arms like waving a whip with blades. Then, it would also use its hidden sharp claws between the toes to move quietly.

The monkey glared fiercely, fangs could be clearly seen in its opened mouth while it waved its sharp claws at Shao Xuan-- all of this showed that this ferocious animal was in a violent mood. It was treating Shao Xuan as its enemy rather than prey.

Shao Xuan was very confused.

This animal was clearly clever, it wasn’t all that huge but it could also be considered a beast. The emotion in its eyes was so strong that Shao Xuan could barely ignore it. He didn’t know what he did to offend it, especially since it was his first time here.

After coming down from the tree, the glare behind Shao Xuan was pressing on him.

Under this murderous atmosphere, the cold light of its claws seemed like it was going to commit an angry massacre while wielding death’s scythe, eager to reap all life.

Shao Xuan could not find an opportunity to counterattack in this short time due to the dense interlacing of its claws.

Shao Xuan stomped on the ground heavily with both of his feet. After this, he leapt from his original position, leaving a pit on the ground, the soft detritus and leaves in the surroundings splattered up and turned into cinders by the approaching claws.

Shao Xuan was galloping fast in the dense forest while the pursuer for some reason had a heavy grudge against him as it couldn’t wait to swoop immediately.

Although Shao Xuan was very fast, the pursuer had no intentions to hide this time, it was giving its all to catch up to Shao Xuan. What was more surprising was that it actually wasn’t that far away from him!

The creature was capable of performing flexible and quick attacks. Every attack it made was deadly because of its long and sharp claws. It was also smart enough and didn’t seem to be a stranger to humans. What was the best solution to get rid of a beast like that?

The air in the dense forest seemed to grow tense with this chase, the other animals didn’t want to meddle with what was happening since they couldn’t keep up with the speed of the two.

A thinner trunk would have been directly cut in half due to its way of slashing.

‘Hmm, it’s cutting the trunk?’ Shao Xuan thought.

Shao Xuan slightly reduced his speed as he did a sharp turn and the totem power inside his body was instantly boosted. The flaming totem pattern appeared all over his body, the totem power flowing in his body surged into his legs like flood and caused his leg muscles to swell.

After the sharp turn, Shao Xuan went around and aimed at a tree. He lifted one of his legs and kicked it!

‘Crack!’

The trunk, which was so thick it would’ve needed 3 people hugging it to cover its circumference, was broken.

The broken trunk fell directly towards the brown beast still chasing after Shao Xuan.

This was completely out of the pursuer’s expectations. When Shao Xuan was slowing down, tt was already quickly catching up to the human, it planned to catch him and use its cruel claws so that it could enjoy his blood. However, reality was more cruel, all that Shao Xuan received in return was sort of a hard punch instead.

‘Bang!’

The brown figure smashed against the trunk of another tree trying to dodge the broken trunk, it made a sharp cry.

However, it was a beast with a robust frame even though it looked skinny. The hit was painful but it wasn’t even near fatal, it couldn’t even cause any serious injuries to it..

Shao Xuan thought to strike at it again but the beast was too quick. Shao Xuan struck the trunk instead, the forelimbs of the beast wrapped around the trunk like a soft whip, it successfully avoided the collision with Shao Xuan.

The beast, now fallen unto the grass, took a few steps back.Filled with tense caution, it stared at Shao Xuan with violence in its eyes, it seemed like the beast was thinking of a plan or was probably weighing the situation.

Shao Xuan thought it would attack again but he soon realized that the beast was giving up the fight since it decided to leave. It was the beast’s decision after considering the pros and cons of the fight, it might have found that Shao Xuan was not an easy opponent to deal with.
