Chapter 73 Battle Wisdom

The moment the Monkey King appeared.

A strong sense of oppression came over me.

A 30-foot-tall burly figure rose from the hot spring, holding the tree trunk with his left arm, his right arm still in the water, his upper body leaning forward, his blue-gray eyes looking around, searching for the insects that woke him up, vowing to crush them to death.

The mutation caused by the infection made his already weird face look even more crazy and terrifying.

Water kept dripping from his mouth and nose, mixed with snot and some broken flesh and blood, but the Monkey King seemed to be completely unaware of it.

The Shadow Moon Leopard, who had awakened the Monkey King with his roar, became the primary target as expected.

The Monkey King casually broke off the branch above, which was more than five meters long and as thick as a bowl in his hand, like an ordinary stick. With a whistling sound, he swung it at the Shadow Moon Leopard who had just dodged the water column.

The Shadow Moon Leopard, who had come to destroy the Monkey King, had no intention of retreating.

It was able to become the dominant existence outside the Mirror Lake Forest, and its strength was equally strong. It leaped onto the falling branches, clasped the rough skin with four claws, and ran towards the Monkey King's arm along the branches with its agile figure.

The sharp claws tore the dark blue fur as it swung, bringing up a large handful of dark red blood, and even wanted to continue to go up.

The wound was enough to break an arm for a human, but the Monkey King just bared his teeth and roared, and suddenly raised his right hand that was submerged in the hot spring. Several water columns rushed towards the Shadow Moon Leopard that had just stepped on his left arm.

The Monkey King's extraordinary ability is obviously related to water.

With a wave of his hands and feet, he can turn the power of the water into his own use, attacking and killing anyone who dares to invade his territory.

Facing the water flowing from all directions, the Shadow Moon Leopard was surrounded by shadows, and his figure suddenly blurred under the gray sky.

When the patrol team tried to hunt the Shadow Moon Leopard, they had seen this ability named "Shadow Sneak Attack" in the internal information.

It only takes one to two seconds for the Shadow Moon Leopard to wrap its entire body in shadow.

Either it hides in the shadow for a short time, or it accelerates to the limit.

This time it shows the latter ability, disappearing in the air in the blink of an eye, and when it reappears, it is already in the canopy more than ten meters away, and it launches a surprise attack from the side, trying to severely injure the vulnerable parts of the monkey king's waist and abdomen.

In just a few rounds, the battle between the two beasts has become white-hot.

The Shadow Moon Leopard is worthy of being the overlord of the forest periphery. Even on this water, it can still rely on the giant trees in the jungle to exert its own advantages of being as fast as the wind, and cooperate with the shadow attack ability to continuously attack the monkey king.

If it were other weaker prey, it would have been torn to pieces by the Shadow Moon Leopard long ago, but this time it faced the equally fierce Monkey King.

Pandora's infection made this overlord, whose strength also reached the tiger level, very manic. Two thick arms like cast steel grabbed the branches of the giant tree and swung and smashed them on the side, creating a storm with itself as the center.

Broken branches, roots, mixed with flying snow and splashing water, established a defense line that was enough to confuse vision and hinder progress, and at the same time took this opportunity to frantically destroy the place where the Shadow Moon Leopard stood.

Even the monkeys who wanted to come forward to assist the Monkey King in the battle were injured by mistake. Some were smashed and flew away, and some were killed on the spot. They fled in panic, fearing that they would be affected again.

They were not qualified to participate in this level of battle!

The indiscriminate large-scale sweep forced the Shadow Moon Leopard to choose its foothold carefully.

Its raid was not launched without limit.

Not only did it consume a lot of physical strength, but it also needed to maintain a suitable distance. If it was too close, it would be easy to be attacked by the Monkey King, and if it was too far, it would give the Monkey King time to react, which made it need to think more about things in the process of dodging.

After all, this place was not the outskirts of the forest. The existence of the water made it unable to land and borrow strength, and it could only rely on the giant tree to transfer.

In another surprise attack, the Shadow Moon Leopard passed over the Monkey King's waist, cut open his skin and flesh, and caused severe damage to the latter. However, just as it found a foothold and leaped over to prepare to gather strength again, a sound of breaking air came from behind.

The Shadow Moon Leopard had just landed on the branch, and before it had time to adjust its body shape, two thick branches thrown out by the Monkey King followed closely behind it, forcing it to move to other positions, otherwise it would be directly smashed into the water, and it would be difficult to escape.

It was at this time that the Shadow Moon Leopard suddenly realized that the nearby branches had been swept away, and the remaining were nothing more than bare tree trunks. If it wanted to avoid it, it could only rely on the tree trunks to run up or jump back and forth between the tree trunks.

This was not difficult for the Shadow Moon Leopard.

The problem was that its choice became single and the route became predictable!

Almost at the moment when it stepped on the tree trunk, the Monkey King slammed the water with both hands as if he had been prepared. Then, with the tree trunk where the Shadow Moon Leopard was located as the center, the surrounding water suddenly raised surging waves, splitting into dozens of water lines, blocking the space on all sides of the Shadow Moon Leopard and surrounding it.

The Shadow Moon Leopard tried to break through the water flow, but as soon as it moved, its limbs and waist were entangled and bound by the water lines.

This is a trap set for the Shadow Moon Leopard!

The previous seemingly venting of random swings and smashes was to create a battlefield that was favorable to it.

Even though it was infected by Pandora, the Monkey King still had amazing combat wisdom. It was able to dominate the hot spring forest area and use it as a bathtub and cooking pot for the tribe. It was not just relying on extraordinary abilities!

Seeing the prey fall into the net, the Monkey King no longer disguised himself. With his right hand, he pulled out a beast spine wrapped by vines from the prey bones piled up into a small hill nearby. The tip was full of bone spurs and used it as a mace. He roared and ran wildly in the water.

The Monkey King, who could be called a giant beast, showed amazing mobility in this forest.

The wound left on it by the Shadow Moon Leopard not long ago could not affect it at all.

The complex terrain of the water seemed to be succumbing to its huge body. The seemingly heavy body was finally freed. Its legs stepped on the giant tree to take advantage of the force and leaped left and right. The momentum was quite swift.

With his left hand facing the Shadow Moon Leopard, he controlled the water prison to continue to block its retreat. With his right hand, he dragged the mace made of the spine, waiting for it to approach. The Shadow Moon Leopard, which had lost its space to move, would immediately become one of the spoils it collected.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of breaking through the air sounded one after another.

The monkey king twisted his erect ears, swung his spine to block two arrows that were flying at him, and an explosion occurred immediately.

With his legs propped up on the roots of the giant tree that protruded above the water, he looked back in the direction where the arrows came from. It took some effort to find the tiny figure on a branch, bared his teeth and threatened, and continued to move forward.

‘I failed as expected, huh, you don’t take me seriously.’

Looking at the monkey king who didn’t want to pay any attention to him, Yu Ke looked solemn, began to move forward and accelerated.

He had seen the whole battle just now and had already judged the monkey king’s ability.

Frankly speaking, if he had met the monkey king alone in the hot spring forest area, Yu Ke would have turned around and run away without saying a word. This level of overlord was not something he could deal with at the moment. Just relying on his exaggerated physique and amazing fighting wisdom, he would have been in a difficult battle.

Not to mention that this is the Monkey King's territory. The water forest is its best combat area. Coupled with its ability to control water, Yu Ke's desire to hunt it is pure wishful thinking.

However, the current situation is different. The Shadow Moon Leopard not only took the initiative to attract the Monkey King's attention, but also helped Yu Ke to test the Monkey King's hidden means. The previous actions also clearly showed that it wanted Yu Ke to assist.

This is strange.

Yu Ke could not understand the behavior of the Shadow Moon Leopard.

After all, their last meeting was definitely not pleasant. If it hadn't been for the thunder, it might have been a bloody battle.

You must know that the premise of Yu Ke's cooperation with the Shocked Horned Deer King is that the deer herd is threatened by the giant python.

Why can the Shadow Moon Leopard be so sure that Yu Ke will not take the opportunity to escape, but stay to help it?

Could it be that it guessed that the purpose of his trip was to solve the Pandora infection incident, and it would not let the aberrant beast go if it had a chance.

If Yu Ke left now, the Shadow Moon Leopard would most likely be killed by the Monkey King. Even if it managed to escape, it would definitely be seriously injured.

Looking at the Monkey King approaching the Shadow Moon Leopard, and the water net surrounding the former like a net,

Yu Ke's eyes were firm, and he bent his bow and drew his arrow again, with a frosty air permeating it.

But this time it was not aiming at the Monkey King, but the Shadow Moon Leopard!

The Monkey King, who had just raised his mace to knock it down, saw that three arrows avoided the water net at an extremely tricky angle and directly hit the waist and forelimbs of the Shadow Moon Leopard, and then forcibly froze that part of the water.

Compared with the flexible water flow, ice blocks are obviously easier to break free of. The Shadow Moon Leopard suddenly turned around and shattered the frost on its body, turning into a shadow and forcibly getting rid of the water net trap created by the Monkey King.

The duck that was about to fall into his mouth flew away. The Monkey King once again looked at Yu Ke who had already rushed to the vicinity, with undisguised cruelty in his eyes.

"Huh~ You will pay the price for underestimating me!"

Yu Ke shrugged his shoulders, raised his chin, and looked back with contempt.

Although he still didn't understand why the Shadow Moon Leopard did this, Yu Ke had to admit that it made the right bet.

Looking at the Shadow Moon Leopard through two giant trees and horizontal branches, Yu Ke found that it was also looking at him.

For no reason.

Yu Ke's mind emerged with what he thought the Shadow Moon Leopard was thinking.

Two to one, there is a chance of winning!

It can be foreseen that as long as this Monkey King can be killed, Yu Ke's various professions will get a huge increase in experience.

This is a great opportunity in front of him, and Yu Ke doesn't want to miss it.

Then come on!

Take a deep breath, hold the longbow tightly in his left hand, and pull out the arrow with his right hand.

The idea of ​​hunting the monkey king filled his mind, and the excitement and restlessness spread throughout his body like fire.

At this moment, Yu Ke felt the vigorous vitality of his life very clearly.

The shadow moon leopard stepped on the branches and lowered its agile body, making a deterrent roar, ready to go.

It seemed to realize that it was being treated as prey.

The monkey king, who was still roaring, fell silent, suddenly moved his arms, turned up his upper lip, and made a sarcastic expression. At this time, the tumors on both sides of its neck swelled, making it unable to stop the painful trembling, and its eyes were full of chaotic colors.

It's a little late, please forgive me, readers.

I will go home in two days. I have agreed to borrow his notebook from my friend so that I can keep updating during the New Year.
