Chapter 301 For the Tribe (2)
Jingli had no time to think about where this big guy came from, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to why the Spring Beginning in his hand was so light.
After arriving in this world, 6058 came along with the observer system.
Without making a sound, he silently cast a defensive card on Jingli, while holding a bomb card in his empty "hand," ready to unleash a blast at any moment.
They didn't know how powerful this big guy was. Although Jingli wasn't completely vulnerable yet, they couldn't afford to be careless.
When the big guy's first attack failed, it lowered its large head, stretched out its forelimbs, and its thick claws were extremely sharp. Not only that, but the claws were also covered with small thorns. Being hit by this thing was like a low-budget version of Spring Awakening—a painful splitting apart.
The big guy raised its nose and hissed angrily, a sign of intimidation and a readiness for battle.
Jingli had already jumped onto a tree to the side; it wasn't a very good spot.
Although the tree was thick and strong, it obviously couldn't withstand the impact of this guy.
In the brief blink of an eye during which the giants slowed their attack, Jingli had already unleashed her energy perception and quickly reached a conclusion.
There were no other large animals in the area he could sense.
This means that the guy in front of us is the lord of this area.
If we compare this to the monsters of the previous world, the creatures in this region wield absolute power.
To escape this area, running is not an option because Jingli is not familiar enough with the terrain. Flying would require Jingli to rest three times, and Jingli cannot guarantee the speed of the large creature. Given its limited familiarity with the area, it's not certain that they can escape.
In other words, since we have to confront it head-on at least once, why not give it a try?
During his escape, Jingli discovered that he had retained his body from the previous world, which was the form of the little koi fish, upon arriving in this world.
Coincidentally, although the quality of the "spiritual energy" in this world is different from that in the previous world, Jingli, who has mastered the conversion of energy and spiritual power, can still convert this quality into spiritual power for absorption and cultivation.
He has no worries about running out of ammunition.
Thinking of this, Jingli used her spiritual power to leap back and forth between the trees several times.
The big guy has strong vision; it only slightly twitches its big head, its eyes fixed on Jingli.
Jingli concluded that the big guy possessed a certain level of intelligence, and even when using all his strength, the big guy could still detect his traces.
Running away is definitely the worst possible strategy.
Jingli and 6058 quickly communicated in the observer system, and 6058 threw out a bomb card.
The big guy was hit and then completely enraged. It pushed back and its tail together, lunging towards Jingli.
Jingli had been preparing all along, and the moment the big guy made his move, he leaped towards the tree branch he had his eye on, just barely missing the big guy's long tail.
If you were even a fraction slower, you would have been swept away by that huge tail, and with the force of chopping down a thick tree branch, you would definitely suffer internal injuries.
It was thanks to the keenness he honed during his years as the strongest guide and the life-saving skills he learned from Meng Li in the last world that Jingli would have become everyone's meal.
These thoughts flashed through Jingli's mind in an instant. Jingli had no time to sigh. The big guy swung its tail and pounced on Jingli again.
After just one failed hunt, the animals learned their lesson and began to anticipate Jingli's movements and make feints.
Jingli wouldn't use the same trick twice either; he leaped up and landed directly on top of the big guy's head.
The big guy's fur wasn't as soft as you'd imagine; in combat, each hair stood up and was quite stiff.
Jingli timely tossed out a magical artifact that Mengli had given him, which popped out into the air above his head, allowing Jingli to land on it.
At this moment, Jingli looked down and saw the spiky fur, and Chunqi, whom he had hugged when he was running for his life—a small, fluffy kitten.
Jingli didn't have time to exclaim "So soft and cute!" Seizing the opportunity, he randomly picked a spiked object from the treasures Meng Li had given him as his weapon. He unleashed his spiritual power and energy simultaneously, stabbing it fiercely into the giant's skull.
With a crisp clang, the magic weapon pierced only a fraction of an inch, and the giant beast went berserk again, violently shaking itself to try and shake off the person on its back.
This guy's physique is incredibly tough! In the cultivation world, he's considered a high-level body refinement expert.
Fortunately, Jingli didn't actually step on the big guy's head. Jingli's dynamic vision and agility were not bad either. Just as his eyes were level with the big guy's, Jingli threw out his magic weapon again, stabbing it towards the big guy's pupil. At the same time, he pushed the magic weapon on his foot forward, hitting the big guy's nose.
Both of these areas are vulnerable to animals.
Even in Yu An's previous world, Yu An was able to gain the upper hand by injuring the eyes of a brown bear several times his size.
As expected, the big guy felt the pain and fell backward in the direction where his nose was kicked. He tried to paw at his eyes with his front paws, lost his balance, and fell off the tree.
The hind legs barely managed to keep the animal steady, but the front paws were powerless to support it.
Kill it while it's sick.
Jingli drew a thunder and fire talisman in the air, having long since mastered how to maximize its power.
In the blink of an eye, Fu had already pushed it towards everyone's injured eyes.
Jingli then took out the talisman paper he had prepared earlier, which created a squeezing effect by changing the pressure, and along with several high-level poisoned arrows, aimed it straight at the big guy's neck.
The arrow pierced through, mimicking a biting motion. Even though the poison wouldn't kill the creature instantly, the ruptured wound on its face forced it to collapse.
It did not give up and continued to struggle backward to get up, but the pain around its eyes and the feeling of being choked made it sense danger.
It can't beat them.
This tiny fellow underestimated his opponent.
Only then did Jingli gently land.
He did not reverse the effect of the talisman, but only retrieved the arrow and the other magical artifacts.
These items are all of high quality, and each use reduces their availability. Jingli plans to keep them to save his life.
The commotion gradually subsided, presumably because the poison had taken effect.
The poisons used in the cultivation world are quite effective.
Seeing this, Jingli breathed a slight sigh of relief, thankful that he hadn't died right after arriving.
I wonder how powerful this big guy is in this world, and whether he can safely get through this world.
Using energy again to survey the surroundings, the original overlord had just died, so this place was safe for the time being, but it was not advisable to stay any longer.
Jingli gently lifted the shrunken kitten in her arms, finally able to stroke its head and ease her earlier tension.
[6058: This seems to be a preliminary world... Wait! Someone's here!]
6058 issued a warning, and at the same time, several pieces of wood flew towards it.
Although they are called wood, each piece is actually as thick as a tree in the ordinary world. The tips are sharpened and the color is different from the wood itself, so it seems that they have been dipped in something else.
The log dodged through the scene, then plunged straight into the already unconscious beast.
Jingli became wary again. The attack carried killing intent, but it wasn't strong; it was more like a test.
A rustling sound followed, and layers of figures appeared from behind the dense bushes.
Jingli inwardly groaned.
Oh no, we've defeated one, and now a whole bunch of them have appeared! How are we supposed to fight this?!
