“Crap, this thing seems to be completely useless against that guy.”
“It’s fine, let me give it a try.”
After saying that, Hei Lang took out his own item and shot it straight towards its position.
But he found that, just as they had thought before, the outcome did not match their expectations.
Because he saw that the creature remained motionless, and then they heard a loud roar.
The roar sounded like that of a tiger—could they have really encountered a tiger here?
“Damn, it’s not a tiger, is it?”
“No matter what it is, right now, none of our stuff can kill it. Quick, let’s head back, I think I saw a rock over there. Let’s hide behind it for the time being.”
As he spoke, the hunter quickly made his way to the spot, and they could sense that the creature was chasing them once again.
He heard Hei Lang, who was at the rear, suddenly shout, clearly having been attacked by it.
“Hei Lang, how are you doing?”
No one dared to stop; they just turned their heads to see that Hei Lang was now slowing down even as he walked.
“Boss, don’t worry about me, it’s nothing. That beast scratched me, but it’s just a flesh wound, I assure you.”
Although he said this to reassure Lin Yi, he had already experienced all this himself. While it was indeed painful when he was first scratched, overall, it was something a man could endure.
Now, he too knew that even if these men were hurt, they had no choice but to keep moving, because any further delay would likely increase the threat and danger to them.
In the end, he made his way to the rock and finally, they all hid behind the large stone.
After hiding, they looked back and it seemed that the creature had not followed them.
The group started to breathe heavily, and at that moment, Lin Yi took the opportunity to look down.
He discovered that the wound seemed to have stopped bleeding.
If that was the case, then probably the creature hadn’t applied too much force when it scratched him, merely grazing the surface. So, while it felt terrifying at the time, it now seemed perhaps not as frightening.
“How are you?”
He turned back and then asked Hei Lang, who was standing beside him.
“Ah, didn’t I tell you? You need to squat down. Standing up like that makes you an easy target.”
“Oh, okay, I got it.”
Hei Lang just nodded, but as he squatted down, he felt excruciating pain.
“Hei Lang, what’s wrong, where did you get hurt earlier?”
“Haha, boss, I’m embarrassed to say, it attacked my behind, so when I squat, it’s really painful, I can’t take it.”
“Hei Lang, how about this, I’ll help you check it out. If it’s bad, we have some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine here. Applying some should solve the problem.”
Ling’er said to Hei Lang, but he wagged his head like a rattle-drum.
That area was a person’s private part, how could he take it off and reveal it in front of a girl.
“Ling’er, don’t worry about it now. Later, when we find a safe place, I’ll take care of the rest. Don’t be fooled by Hei Lang’s rough exterior, he’s actually quite shy.”
“Big brother, stop it.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop. Old brother, how is he, where is he now?”
“I’ve been watching the whole time, but I can’t find him anywhere, and I have no idea where he’s gone.”
“That’s not right, normally, when we ran here, he should have followed.”
“Yes, normally that would be the case, but…”
As the hunter was speaking, he seemed to sense something was off and suddenly turned to look behind him.
And that moment truly made his blood run cold.
Because he saw that the creature was right behind him, eyeing him menacingly.
“Run!”
The hunter shouted loudly, then grabbed his belongings from the ground and started to sprint away.
The hunter was quick to react, but that swiftness drew the creature’s attention.
It quickly circled around the three of them and ran in the direction where the hunter had vanished.
“Crap, we’re really in trouble this time. Quick, we have to catch up or else the odds might be deadly for us.”
Lin Yi became increasingly anxious, and setting aside everything else, they sprinted in that direction.
But he realized that the creature disappeared from his sight very quickly, which meant that its running speed must have been extremely fast.
After running a distance, he stood panting heavily and surveyed the surroundings, only to find nothing there.
“This is strange; where have they gone?”
He murmured to himself while Hei Lang and Ling’er caught up.
“Big brother, where are the people? The hunter, where did he go?”
“I’m not sure. How could they disappear so quickly? Normally, he can’t outrun it.”
“Big brother, this, could there be an accident?”
“An accident? What accident?”
“Couldn’t it have taken him away because it caught him, and that’s why it left this place, so we can’t see anything here?”
After hearing this, Lin Yi just frowned, feeling that this reasoning indeed made some sense. And if that were the case, then it might be very difficult for the hunter to return.
Although he knew entering the mountain was highly risky, given the current situation, he did not want to take any more risks, because he was aware that too much adventuring could ultimately cost them their lives.
