"Swift Movement!"
Hawkeye grabbed a bottle of potion and gulped it down. His feet stomped on the ground and his speed increased exponentially. This was a Level-1 Swift Movement Potion. He leaped behind the Blood-thirsty Tiger, grabbed his axe with both hands, and swung it down.
Who would have thought that the Blood-thirsty Tiger wouldn't even turn its head. Instead, it swung its tail at Hawkeye. Even someone as strong as Hawkeye spat out a mouthful of blood in an instant. He was a Level-42 Warlord, while the 4,000-year-old Blood-thirsty Tiger in front of him was equivalent to a Level-60 Heavenly Venerable!
The tail swung across Hawkeye's chest, directly smashing his breastplate into pieces. However, a Stoneskin Potion appeared on his chest. That was the effect of the Stoneskin Potion. It was probably thanks to this potion that Hawkeye would have been killed by the Blood-thirsty Tiger in one blow.
Hawkeye took a few steps back and slid his axe two meters away. He spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "Don't let this beast recover! Archers, use the Paralysis Potion!"
More than twenty archers jumped out of the bushes and shot arrows at the Blood-thirsty Tiger. However, the arrows couldn't penetrate the Blood-thirsty Tiger's skin at all. The skin of a 4,000-year-old spirit beast was simply too tough.
"Roar!"
The Bloodthirsty Tiger leapt into the crowd, its sharp claws sweeping through the air. Blood splattered everywhere, and a mercenary's head was actually smashed to pieces!
The Blood-thirsty Tiger opened its mouth and bit off another mercenary's head, chewing it in enjoyment. Behind it, a mercenary holding a spear roared and charged forward. He raised his spear and aimed it at the Blood-thirsty Tiger's butt. However, with a rustling sound, only the tip of the spear pierced into the tiger's fur. The Blood-thirsty Tiger's tail whipped him into two!
Blood gushed out. The scene was too cruel!
… …
Hua Wan gripped her sword, her face ashen. She panicked. "Captain Hawkeye, what do we do? What do we do? This … this Bloodthirsty Tiger is completely immune to the paralysis medicine! "
Hawkeye took out a bottle of paralysis potion and smeared it on the blade of the battle axe. The paralysis potion exuded a unique luster and lasted for about ten minutes. In the next moment, Hawkeye shouted: "Don't be afraid of him. Brothers, don't be afraid. Once we kill this bloodthirsty tiger, our commission will be enough for the rest of our lives. You can live in a big mansion and have three or four concubines without a problem!"
The mercenaries raised their weapons and rushed forward. Even the archers put down their longbows and rushed forward with spears in their hands.
"Roar!"
The Bloodthirsty Tiger let out another furious roar, and a fiery-red energy began to gather around its neck.
Lin Muyu felt a chill in her heart. She hurriedly carried Chu Yao and jumped into the marsh in front of them.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yao was shocked.
But Lin Muyu leaned on her, not letting her speak.
In the next moment, there was a loud bang, and the temperature around them soared. Flames swept through the surrounding grass. Chu Yao's eyes widened as she looked at Lin Muyu. The flames swept past Lin Muyu's head and even burned a strand of his hair.
"Yu …"
Chu Yao was stunned.
Lin Muyu's eyes were filled with calmness. She turned over and lay on the ground, enduring the pain to extinguish the flames on the back of her head. She secretly took a deep breath. The firepower of the Bloodthirsty Tiger in real life must be much stronger than in the game. How terrifying!
Chu Yao carefully crouched at the edge of the marsh and stretched her neck to take a look. She was dumbfounded. More than twenty mercenaries from the Flame Hawk Mercenary Corps had been burned to ashes by the Bloodthirsty Tiger's flame energy. They were still standing there holding onto their weapons, but their bodies were charred black and emitted a strong burning smell.
"Ah …"
Chu Yao knelt on the ground. She had never seen a dead person with her own eyes, but this time, she saw so many corpses, and they were all people who had died in front of her.
… …
"Steady!"
Hawkeye was still holding onto his battle axe. He growled, "The 4000 year Bloodthirsty Tiger's flame energy needs at least three minutes to spit out again. This is our best chance. Men, use the iron net formation to trap this beast!"
More than a dozen mercenaries had already mounted their horses and rushed over. They held a corner of the iron net in their hands and roared as they charged over. The moment they got close to the Bloodthirsty Tiger, they began to spread the net. With a "buzz", a ten-meter long net was spread out and immediately enveloped the huge body of the Bloodthirsty Tiger.
"Roar!"
The iron net was elastic. The Bloodthirsty Tiger struggled with all its might, but the more it struggled, the tighter it became. Gradually, it stopped moving.
"Hmph, a beast will always be a beast. Stupid!" A mercenary laughed loudly. "Boss, it's time. Let's go together and kill this 4000 year spirit beast. It's been a long time since anyone in Cathaya City, or even the entire Seven Star Forest, has killed a 4000 year spirit beast. We're the first, haha …"
Hawkeye didn't say a word. Instead, he let out a low shout and gathered all the true energy in his body. His battle axe ignited into flames as he charged forward, leaping into the air and striking the Bloodthirsty Tiger's head with all his strength!
"Bang!"
The iron net was cut apart. At the same time, a tuft of the Bloodthirsty Tiger's fiery-red fur and a spurt of fresh blood appeared. Finally, the Bloodthirsty Tiger was injured. There was a gash on its head.
But even though it was injured, the Bloodthirsty Tiger didn't show the slightest bit of anger. Instead, its brown eyes were calm, almost mocking. For a moment, Hawkeye's entire body froze in place. What he saw wasn't a beast, but a human. This 4000 year spirit beast had the intelligence of a human. In fact, it was purposely letting him attack and borrowing his strength to break through the iron net!
"Whoosh!"
The Bloodthirsty Tiger suddenly leaped out of the iron net and bit down on Hawkeye's body. With a miserable howl and a spray of blood, Hawkeye was thrown to the ground, writhing and struggling. In the next moment, his entire right arm and axe were bitten off by the Bloodthirsty Tiger.
"Captain!"
A group of furious mercenaries rushed forward and stabbed their spears and swords into the Bloodthirsty Tiger's body. Once it was injured, the defense of the Bloodthirsty Tiger's skin would plummet, and it wouldn't be able to withstand the mercenaries' attacks. Moreover, there was no lack of capable mercenaries in this group. Lin Muyu and Chu Yao's eyes widened when they saw that many of them were using martial skills!
That's right, martial skills weren't something an ordinary person could learn. Only those who had broken through to the first level of the human realm had the qualifications to learn martial skills!
… …
"Roar!"
The Bloodthirsty Tiger roared and pounced left and right. In the blink of an eye, only a few dozen mercenaries remained.
"It's over … it's over …"
Hua Wan gripped her sword, but it was as if all the strength in her body had disappeared. She shook her head and said, "This 4,000-year-old spirit beast is too strong. The Flame Hawk Mercenaries have been completely annihilated. Retreat … retreat for me!"
The four guards wearing the insignia of the Purple Yinhua Empire nodded in unison and escorted the young city lord onto his horse. Then, they swaggered off, completely ignoring the heavily injured mercenary captain.
A sharp pain came from Lin Muyu's arm. She hurriedly helped Chu Yao up and said, "Big sister Chu Yao, let's go … or else the Bloodthirsty Tiger won't let us go …"
The two of them limped to their feet and were about to leave when Hawkeye, who was lying on the ground behind them, roared, "Damn it, so many of my men died, and you two still want to leave? Men, kill them and bury them with us! "
A mercenary with an injured arm immediately rushed over with a sword in hand. But before he could take two steps, his body suddenly trembled. The Bloodthirsty Tiger's tail had already cut him in half!
"Roar!"
The Bloodthirsty Tiger roared and rushed towards the remaining mercenaries. However, the Bloodthirsty Tiger's speed was getting slower and slower. In fact, its speed was even slower than a warhorse's galloping speed. Finally, at this moment, the paralysis potion began to take effect!
… …
Chu Yao's face was pale. "Yu, let's go …"
"No."
Lin Muyu said calmly and pointed behind her. "Big sister Chu Yao, run in that direction. I'll chase after you immediately. Hurry!"
Chu Yao didn't argue and obediently limped over. But her leg seemed to be injured, and she couldn't walk fast at all.
"Clang!"
Walking past a mercenary's corpse, Lin Muyu pulled out the long sword he carried on his back. It was an excellent sword, and it was even engraved with blood grooves. It was rare to see such an excellent sword. Holding the long sword, Lin Muyu walked over step by step.
Hawkeye had lost an arm, and his chest had been pierced by the Bloodthirsty Tiger's claws. His bones were broken, and even a War Sovereign couldn't endure so much damage. He had already lost most of his strength. Staring at Lin Muyu, he roared angrily, "Stinking brat, what do you think you're doing?!"
"Cutting the weeds by the roots!"
Lin Muyu's tone was cold. He knew that if he didn't kill Hawkeye now and allowed him to return to Cathaya City alive, then not only him, but the entire Hundred Spirits Medicine Shop would suffer. Hawkeye wouldn't let him go. After all, he didn't want anyone to know that he had suffered such a crushing defeat.
"You dare, I'm …"
Hawkeye roared, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Muyu's longsword had already slashed across his neck. Blood spurted out of his arteries, and the mercenary captain who had dominated the world fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
… …
I looked up and saw that the Bloodthirsty Tiger had already killed off the last few mercenaries. Although it had been affected by the paralysis potion, it only affected its movement speed. This wild beast was no longer just hunting for food, but killing. It wanted to kill every single person present.
Grabbing a quiver and a longbow, he picked up a scabbard and hung it on his back. He immediately turned around to leave, but it was already too late. The Bloodthirsty Tiger roared and charged over. It wanted to kill Lin Muyu!
"Shit, it's over …"
Lin Muyu cursed inwardly and hurriedly ran in the direction of Chu Yao. Behind him, the Bloodthirsty Tiger chased after him with the momentum of breaking rocks and knocking down trees. Its speed seemed to be even faster than his!
In front of him, Chu Yao couldn't walk fast. She turned around with a limp, her beautiful face pale with fright, "Yu, what do we do?"
"Run!"
Lin Muyu, who was in a life-and-death situation, couldn't think too much. He grabbed Chu Yao by the waist and sprinted away. True Qi flowed through his legs, and he felt as if it was growing endlessly. He suddenly felt a lot more determined, and he ran as fast as he could.
… …
In the forest, the roars never stopped. The Bloodthirsty Tiger chased with all its might, while Lin Muyu ran as if his life depended on it. After running like this for nearly an hour, Lin Muyu didn't feel tired at all even though he was carrying someone. Instead, it was as if a mysterious power had been injected into his legs. Every step he took was like a meteor, sweeping across the grass and rivers. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound in his mind, followed by an image of a foot. It was unlocked, which meant that Lin Muyu had unlocked a new skill in this world — Falling Star Steps!
Falling Star Steps, an SS-rank skill, was a skill bestowed by the Martial God. It was a consummate skill for chasing and escaping. In this world, it was probably the best Qinggong in the world!
"Ah …"
Chu Yao's mouth was wide open. She looked at Lin Muyu with an indescribable shock. She had never seen a human who could run like Lin Muyu!
As they ran, the Bloodthirsty Tiger could no longer catch up, so Lin Muyu stopped and waited for it.
Not long after, the Bloodthirsty Tiger let out a miserable howl and actually fell to the ground.
"Is it dead?" Lin Muyu turned around and carefully looked at the Bloodthirsty Tiger's corpse.
She saw that the tiger was lying there motionlessly, and a fiery red energy was born from its body, hovering in the air.
… …
"It's dead!" Chu Yao said with certainty, "Only when a spirit beast dies will it release its beast spirit. Yu, you've killed a 4,000-year-old Bloodthirsty Tiger …"
Lin Muyu gasped for breath, and a heavy feeling appeared in his legs. The backlash from Falling Star Steps was coming! Although it was extremely painful, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. This time, he had simply escaped from death. He had already given up all hope, thinking that he and Chu Yao would definitely die here. That would be too much of a pity. Such a beautiful senior sister, if she died before anything happened, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?
