A pair of cold, bloodshot eyes like copper bells were currently staring at Lin Yi. Its throat trembled slightly, and it let out a scalp numbing roar. Its fangs were exposed, and a fishy smell assailed the nostrils.
Looking at its appearance, it should be a mountain leopard, but its body was several times larger than an ordinary mountain leopard. Its height alone was close to three meters. At this moment, it had just stuck its ferocious head in, and it had already filled up the entrance of the cave.
There was only one hole in the entire tree hole. This way, Lin Yi had no way to escape. He was completely caught by this giant mountain leopard.
Of course, Lin Yi didn't dare to turn around and use martial arts to break other places. He was also afraid that this monster would sneak attack him!
It could be seen that his previous speculation was not wrong at all. This entire tree hole was a living trap. If he was not careful, he had already become prey, prey that was about to enter the other's mouth.
After clearly sensing the other's aura, Lin Yi's heart suddenly trembled. Sure enough, this mountain leopard was indeed a powerful spirit beast with the strength of a foundation establishment stage!
In fact, if it wasn't for this level of fierce beast, it wouldn't have been able to block those people from before. After all, those people were able to come to the back mountain, their strength should at least be at the foundation establishment stage. Of course, although the possibility of it being a peak heaven stage expert wasn't high, it couldn't be completely ruled out.
However, what made Lin Yi slightly happy was that although this giant mountain leopard was a foundation establishment stage spirit beast, its strength should be at the early stage of foundation establishment stage. He wasn't completely powerless against it.
However, even if everyone was at the early stage of foundation establishment stage. If they were to really fight, there was still a huge gap between humans and this fierce beast that was born to fight. Especially since this was the opponent's home ground.
At this moment, facing such a fierce beast, even a guy like Lin Yi who killed his way up from the secular world didn't have much confidence in his heart that he could escape unscathed.
Taking advantage of the time when the giant mountain leopard was still sizing him up, Lin Yi quietly put the thunder pig behind him into the space of the jade pendant. After all, this guy was not born to fight, and its strength was too weak. In this kind of situation, if it was casually scratched, it would become cannon fodder. Lin Yi was still counting on it to find the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass for him. But he couldn't bear the consequences.
Fortunately, this giant mountain leopard seemed to only pay attention to Lin Yi. It didn't even bat an eyelid at a small creature like Skybolt Pig. Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This guy in front of him was probably addicted to eating humans!
Roar!
The low growls of the giant mountain leopard became more and more intense. Starting from its huge and sinister head, its entire body slowly stretched out. At the same time, incomparably sharp black claws appeared on the soles of his feet. With a light slash, several deep claw marks were left on the soles of his feet.
This scene was truly shocking to the eye.
One had to know that the wood beneath his feet was no ordinary wood. Lin Yi had felt it when he came in- the wood was extremely sturdy, comparable to hard rock, and the claws could leave such a deep mark. If he wasn't careful and got scratched by the claws, he'd probably die. Wouldn't he be dismembered on the spot?
This was the advantage of combat-type spirit beasts; they were born to fight. As a race born to fight, their entire body was a lethal weapon. Compared to them, humans were simply weak and vulnerable. This was also the reason why it was difficult for human experts to contend with combat-type spirit beasts at the same level of strength.
Lin Yi looked around. Under the threat of this giant mountain leopard, he couldn't help but think of retreating. Although the hole was blocked by the other party, it wasn't difficult for an expert in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm like him to break a hole in the tree hole and escape.
However, this seemingly safer and wiser idea was immediately extinguished by Lin Yi's own rationality.
This was different from the giant python he encountered at the beginning. Although that giant python's strength was not inferior to this giant mountain leopard, its target was the black ape. It didn't have any thoughts about Lin Yi, so Lin Yi could calmly escape.
In reality, if the giant python wanted to attack him, Lin Yi was still confident that he could escape. After all, he had the Gale Chasing Lightning Boots and the Butterfly Subtle Steps. He was confident that he would not lose to the giant python in terms of speed.
However, the giant mountain leopard in front of him was different. Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that this fella was definitely much faster than the giant python. Especially in such a dense jungle, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the king of speed.
Therefore, even with the speed bonus of the Gale Chasing Lightning Boots and the Butterfly Subtle Steps, Lin Yi still dared not compete with the other party in speed.
After all, firstly, Ou Yangming might not be faster than the giant mountain leopard. Secondly, it was raining cats and dogs outside, hence his visibility and perception were suppressed to an extremely low level. If he was not careful, he might barge into another powerful spirit beast's territory. If another troublesome ferocious creature appeared, he would be in danger.
Compared to running away, turning around and fighting at this moment might seem stupid, but it was a more reliable choice.
Yes, this was the opponent's home ground; yes, this was a trap set by the opponent, and it was unavoidable.
However, for Lin Yi, it was not that he had no advantage at all. The biggest advantage he could rely on at the moment was this tree hole. For humans, this tree hole was big and spacious enough, but for a ferocious beast that was nearly three meters tall and more than two meters long, it seemed too narrow!
Most of the time, a strong and huge beast's body could be a great advantage, but in some situations, it was also a disadvantage.
Perhaps this giant mountain leopard was fast and even agile outside, but in this tree hole, Lin Yi bet that it was definitely not as agile as he thought!
In a battle between masters, often a subtle flaw could determine the outcome. At this moment, although this little advantage might not be able to directly kill the giant mountain leopard, there was no doubt that it gave Lin Yi a lot of space to play.
He hadn't encountered this feeling of dying at any time for a long time. He could see the infinite danger from the pair of cold and bloody eyes, but Lin Yi was ready to take a gamble.
Roar-!
The giant mountain leopard suddenly pounced forward, and the killing game began.
In such a narrow tree hole, especially on such a rainy day, the giant mountain leopard moved a little, and the extremely strong stench from its body had already hit the nose, choking people to breathe.
This fella, even the smell on its body could kill people!
