Chapter 11 Escape from the Tiger's Mouth
(PS: No matter who gives the first recommendation of this book, please be sure to inform the Wasteland. It is of great significance and must be thanked.)
After more than 30 minutes of travel, Yue Tian had already arrived outside a dense forest at the foot of the East Mountain of Taoyuan Canyon.
Since the wild monsters here are difficult to deal with, players basically don’t come here. Yue Tian stood in the open space outside the dense forest and looked around. He couldn’t see any player’s figure wherever he looked.
This is a dense primeval forest. Looking around, towering ancient trees are connected into pieces. Under these big trees, countless low shrubs and vines grow. The ground is covered with thick layers of fallen leaves, which are soft when stepped on. The sun shines through the lush canopy and mottled on the fallen leaves on the ground, and the stars are like dreams.
A small river flows gurglingly in the forest. The rocks on both sides of the river are covered with green moss. Various colorful wild flowers dotted them, and the beautiful flowers sway gently with the breeze.
What a beautiful view!
Yue Tian couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air, let go of the turbid air in his chest.
"ah--!"
Yue Tian's long roar echoed in the valley. A few brocade-feathered pheasants whistled up in the woods. They cooed and spread their beautiful wings and flew towards the depths of the dense forest.
Yue Tian, who was relaxed, spread his arms, closed his eyes, and let the cool mountain breeze gently blow across his face.
While he was still immersed in the beautiful forest and mountains, he heard a deafening roar not far away.
"Aowoo--!"
Yue Tian was so scared that he opened his eyes quickly, and saw a giant tiger with a size similar to a large elephant standing by the dense forest, staring at him with a fierce look.
Level 10 Elite Monster - Fierce Clawed Tiger!
Isn’t this a wild monster area of level 4-6? Why does a level 10 elite martyrdom tiger appear? Yue Tian is a little confused.
But he quickly recalled the information about this wild monster.
In his memory, this level 10 elite martyrdom is a lone wild monster with high agility and high attack, with a slightly less blood volume, but it also has 5,000 points. They usually wander around and hunt in wild monster areas within level 10. In the previous life, there was an incident where the elite martyrdom tiger broke into the level 1 wild monster area. At that time, hundreds of level 1 novice players were chased by an elite martyrdom tiger. It was not until the NPC of the novice village arrived at the scene and killed the martyrdom tiger, which stabilized the chaotic situation at that time.
Of course, the chance of such a thing happening is extremely small, because the refresh of the Lie Claw Tiger is completely a random system refresh, and a novice village usually only refreshes a level 10 elite monster. Therefore, if players in the novice village unfortunately encounter the Lie Claw Tiger when fighting monsters, other players will say to him sympathetically: "Brother, you are lucky, you can buy a lottery ticket and you will definitely win the first prize!"
It seems that Yue Tian can also buy lottery tickets today. Unfortunately, judging from the expression on his face, he does not seem to have the joy of winning the first prize soon.
What a big bitter face.
"I'll just get my hand! I finally expressed my feelings, but I didn't expect that I would call this evil star with a shout. It's really a caring home." Looking at the elite martyrdom tiger dozens of meters away, Yue Tian complained secretly.
It is definitely too late to escape now. With the running speed of the Fierce Claw Tiger, this short distance of dozens of meters is nothing to it. Yue Tian cannot run 10 meters and will definitely be caught up by the Fierce Claw Tiger. It is not possible to sneak and escape. Yue Tian's stealth skill level is too low. The Fierce Claw Tiger can track him through smell, but in the end he will still be unable to escape. Although he is killed by wild monsters and cannot lose his level or items, it takes a lot of time to run here from Taoyuan Village. It has been wasted nearly an hour in vain, which is too unpaid.
Yue Tian stood there and did not dare to move around. His brain was running rapidly, trying to come up with a good way to get himself out of trouble.
However, the elite martyrdom tiger was obviously not a patient master. It stretched out its long blood-red tongue and licked its sharp dog teeth, and took a step forward slowly towards Yue Tian.
Looking at the fierce clawed tiger getting closer and closer, Yue Tian's feverish brain suddenly became calmer.
The more critical the moment, the calmer it is. This is a good habit that Yue Tian developed during his training in his previous life.
"It seems that I can only take my life." Yue Tianxin made a decision and made a decision.
He quietly took out the newly bought wolf-tooth dagger, and Yue Tian posed in a combat posture, staring at the fierce clawed tiger walking towards him with all his attention.
Seeing Yue Tian take out his weapon, the Liezard Tiger stopped and looked at the human being vigilantly, making a low roar of demonstrations in his mouth.
One man and one tiger are about 10 meters apart, and it is just a stalemate.
Yue Tian stared at Liezhahu's eyes tightly, without any timidity in his eyes or retreating.
Once a trace of fear or timidity appears in his eyes, the fierce-clawed tiger will definitely pounce on it without hesitation. This is the usual style of hunting beasts in nature, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Yue Tian's mind was as calm as water at this moment, and the familiar operational steps and attacking actions in his previous life reappeared in his mind like a movie. He tried to find a skill that could restrain the highly agile and high attacking monsters like the Fierce Claw Tiger.
Ruying is definitely not good, so it can only target human-shaped wild monsters. It can deal with a fierce clawed tiger with an iron whip-like tiger tail. Wouldn't you take the initiative to thrust behind it? The stun vortex dance step is not good. That operation requires the cooperation of multiple stun skills such as snatching sticks and chisel strikes to be used. Now Yue Tian has nothing but snatch sticks, and even if there is one, due to the level difference, when hitting the fierce clawed tiger, it will most likely be MISS. As for the ten-step kill, it requires high attack power as the premise. With Yue Tian's current attack power, facing the rough and thick-skinned fierce clawed tiger, it is not enough to see.
After thinking about it, Yue Tian still couldn't find an operation that could restrain the fierce claw tiger. After all, those operations can only be exerted with the support of skills and advanced equipment. Now Yue Tian is just a level 4 novice intern thief. No matter how good the operation is, it is hard to cook without rice.
Could it be that he just surrendered and became the fill of this big insect, and eventually became a pile of tiger feces?
This is not a good idea.
Yue Tian, who was exhausted from his stunning skills, had a layer of fine beads of sweat seeping out of his forehead. He threw the corner of his eyes around him, trying to find a stop.
There is a dense forest directly in front of you. If you can run into the dense forest and climb a big tree, you can escape the disaster. But this damn beast was blocked in front of Yue Tian, and he couldn't rush through it at all. Around Yue Tian was an open forest clearing, with no cover except a small river and a few large rocks, let alone a block.
Just when Yue Tian was a little anxious, he suddenly turned his eyes to the small river.
This small river is not small, it is about twenty meters wide on the river surface, and the water flow is moderate, neither rush nor slow. In Yue Tian’s memory, this small river is quite deep, and the deepest place can be seven or eight meters.
A bold escape plan slowly took shape in Yue Tian's mind.
Just as Yue Tian was distracted from looking at Xiaohe, the Lie Clawed Tiger finally couldn't help but attack him.
The Lie Clawed Tiger let out a long roar, waved her sharp claws and rushed towards Yue Tian. Yue Tian did not dare to be careless, so he quickly used a move to rob the dog of the hungry dog, rolled and crawled towards the river.
Unfortunately, his movements were still a little slower. His sharp tiger claws rubbed his back, not only slashing his inferior leather armor, but also slashing several blood marks on his back. A -56 damage floated across Yue Tian's head.
What a high attack damage!
One-third of his blood was lost when he was rubbed by the tiger's claws. If he was hit on the front, he would definitely be killed instantly! Yue Tian was shocked and sweated.
Never let the Lie Claw Tiger touch his body anymore! Yue Tian, who was still in shock, warned himself in his heart.
Seeing that the pounce did not work, the Lie Clawed Tiger immediately twisted the tiger's waist, raised the tiger's tail like a steel whip, and thrust towards Yue Tian.
"Swoosh--!"
Yue Tian, who had just climbed up halfway, heard the sound of breaking through the air behind his head, and knew that the tiger tail was coming. He quickly crawled and his body was tightly attached to the ground. The whistling tiger tail flew over the back of Yue Tian's head and thrust hard on a rock.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the rocks split into pieces, and the gravel splashed Yue Tian's face, and several -1 damage floated up again.
Yue Tian no longer cared about so much. He took advantage of the fact that the Lie Claw Tiger turned his back to him, quickly disappeared and forced himself into a stealth state, and secretly touched the river.
The fierce-clawed tiger, who turned around and lost its target, was obviously a little confused. It raised its head and sniffed hard in the air, trying to find out the traces of its prey.
Obviously, the first-level stealth skill cannot play any role in the Fierce Clawed Tiger with a sensitive sense of smell. The Fierce Clawed Tiger quickly found the direction of Yue Tian's escape through his sense of smell.
Seeing the Lie Clawed Tiger walking towards him while sniffing, Yue Tian, who was more than ten meters away, couldn't help but complain secretly. In the stealth state, Yue Tmall stood up and tiptoed to move slowly. Now he was still more than ten meters away from the river, and the Lie Clawed Tiger behind him had already chased him. At the current speed of Yue Tian's movement, before he could reach the river, he was already caught up by the Lie Clawed Tiger.
Let's go! Yue Tian decided to take a risk.
He first touched a stone from the ground and threw it to the side, attracting the attention of the Lie Claw Tiger, and then cancelled the sneaking when the Lie Claw Tiger turned his head.
Yue Tian, who showed his figure, stood up, ran towards the river, and his speed was comparable to Liu Xiang.
Unfortunately, Liu Xiang can't escape the tiger, let alone the elite martyrdom's clawed tiger at level 10.
Just as Yue Tian ran 5 meters away, the fierce clawed tiger had already moved.
5 meters, 3 meters, 1 meters, I jump!
Yue Tian jumped into the air and jumped towards the river.
The speed of the fierce claw tiger is extremely fast. Just as Yue Tian jumped up, it had already rushed behind Yue Tian and stretched out its tiger claws toward Yue Tian's back.
"Wow--!" A tearing sound rang out. A severe pain came from Yue Tian's back, and a damage value of -103 floated on his head.
With a "pop!", Yue Tian's body fell heavily into the river, stirring up a big splash of water.
Seeing the prey falling into the water, the Fierce Clawed Tiger stopped by the river. Although it could swim, it seemed that it was not willing to wet its fur.
The Liezard Tiger stood by the river, staring at the river surface with her eyes tightly, waiting for the corpses of her prey to float up.
But after waiting for a long time, the river surface did not even float up except for a few slowly spreading ripples.
Chapter completed!
