Chu Qi looked at Ke Yue's embarrassment and laughed, showing her white teeth, "Do you know the first law of forest survival?"
"Is it camouflage? Camouflage can protect oneself and kill prey. The purpose is to survive."
Ke Yue answered seriously, hoping to get Chu Qi's approval or approval and relieve the embarrassment just now.
"Wrong! Miss, is this the first rule of survival in the forest?...Forget it, first you have to live."
Chu Qi said with a smile.
"You brat, you're making fun of me!"
Before Ke Yue finished speaking, a pink fist rushed towards his chest. The punch was in front of him like a gust of wind. Chu Qi did not follow the routine and used his palm to block, but swayed his body and used the "Earth Dragon Wandering" to avoid the punch.
Ke Yue wiped her clothes with her fists and threw herself into the air... Looking back, Chu Qi was already five feet away.
"You bastard, you hid quickly, otherwise you would be begging me on your knees?"
Ke Yue was asking for an advantage, but in her heart she secretly admired his agility.
"You're so awesome. I've traveled all over the world and I've never seen a man kneel down and beg for mercy from a girl!"
"Haha, then I'll find an opportunity for you to see and open your eyes."
"Ah!" Ke Yue suddenly stared with big astonished eyes, and with a "sun and moon transformation" movement as fast as lightning, she rushed towards Chu Qi...
The moment Chu Qi fell to the ground, he caught a glimpse of a thick black figure rushing behind him. In a flash of lightning, Ke Yue rolled down to the grass beside Chu Qi with his arms in his arms.
Chu Qi took a closer look and saw a huge lion-headed monster with a human body that was more than ten feet tall, smashing a hole into the ground where he was standing just now. It was surrounded by flying rocks and broken trees...
"What a risk!"
Chu Qi couldn't help but secretly be grateful to Ke Yue for saving her.
The lion-headed monster froze on the spot, looking at the pit in trance, probably wondering why the prey it had obtained could disappear in an instant.
Ke Yue took the opportunity and jumped up with a "carp kick", her eyebrows stood up, and Qi gathered at her fingertips, intending to fight back.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qi was the first to cross the front, urging urgently: "Run! Have you forgotten the first law of forest survival?"
Chu Qi had good intentions and left the danger to himself to protect her. How could he hide it from the clever Ke Yue?
"No, the strong are fearless, and the fittest survive. Didn't you hear the drama about fending off the enemy together and coexisting with life and death?"
The girl Ke Yue was calm and calm, and her heart-warming answers made Chu Qi's courage suddenly double.
"Okay, the monster on the third path (a martial arts term referring to the nose, eyes, and ears respectively) belongs to me, you can do whatever you want..."
Following the voice, Chu Qi flew into position to seize the opportunity, using a "chain soul-seeking kick" with both feet to carry the wind, whizzing directly to the vital parts of the monster's face. As the saying goes: "Strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster!"
"Well, be careful!"
Ke Yue hurriedly warned that facing giant monsters with disparity in power, she knew how dangerous it was to attack the upper three routes.
The dazed lion-headed monster suddenly roared "Wow!" and did not move. Instead, it quickly turned its head to avoid the attack of the chain kick. It shot as fast as the "Lightning Ghost Hand" and easily grabbed Chu Qi's left ankle.
, he lifted him up and around quickly... If the monster used its strength to throw him into the big tree, I'm afraid Chu Qi would not be able to escape this disaster.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ke Yue, who was already in the air, hurriedly bent over and pulled out the dagger from her waist and threw it at Chu Qi, "Then..."
Ke Yue, who fell to the ground, flipped over and supported her body with one arm. She performed a "earth dragon lying on the ground" posture, like a thunderous attack, with her feet volleying alternately to attack the monster's lower body... It was said that it was too late and then it was faster. Ke Yue's entire critical moment was
The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.
Facing the heroic spirit of Ke Yue fighting for his life and dying together, the monster was a little panicked. He kept moving his body backwards with a lame leg. His huge body suddenly lost its center of gravity and had no time to take care of Chu Qi...
Chu Qi took advantage of the monster's distraction and slackened strength, and suddenly hooked the monster's neck with the tip of his right toe. Taking advantage of the situation, he straightened up and raised the dagger to reach the monster's third eye.
At the critical moment, the monster suddenly let go of Chu Qi's hand to protect himself. The dagger pierced the monster's hand hard, and blood immediately dripped. The monster raised its head and let out a muffled groan, waved its big hand outward, and swept Chu Qi's shoulder with its fingertips...
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, I suddenly felt that my body had lost its center of gravity. Before I could turn over and adjust, I fell heavily to the ground, feeling a pain in my shoulder.
The monster stood there and watched the two of them quietly for a moment, then opened its huge mouth and let out a dull roar...then turned around and limped forward as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the monster's retreating figure, Ke Yue suddenly collapsed to the ground, her eyebrow-length bangs sticking to her forehead mixed with sweat.
"Chu Qi, how are you?"
"I-I'm fine...I'm just so hungry!"
"You brat, this is all you have to offer? Let's take a break and let's have dinner." Ke Yue chuckled and taunted Chu Qi.
"Fine, let's eat! From now on, you just talk about filling your stomach, so I don't understand."
Chu Qi sat up and looked at Ke Yue, somewhat unwilling to be outdone, and said in reply.
"loquacious!"
…
On the way to find drinking water, the two accidentally discovered an unknown plant growing in the forest. There was some dew on their leaves. The leaves were wide, large, and green. It was very convenient to collect dew. This was like
It was a surprise given by God, and the two young men were so happy that it was indescribable.
The sun rises slowly, and the warm sunshine shines on the leaves, and the ground is mottled... Chu Qi walked back happily with all kinds of wild fruits in his clothes.
Ke Yue held up a full cowhide water bag, jumping up and down and shouting, "Look, look... I still saved the water for washing your face!"
The two young men sat cross-legged, and Chu Qi spread his clothes on the grass, "Eat with confidence, eat whatever you want, it's all the delicacies snatched back by the monkeys in the tree."
In anticipation, the two began a wild fruit feast in a foreign land...
"Chu Qi, when you saw the lion-headed monster, did you feel like you had seen it before?"
Ke Yue looked at Chu Qi, who was resting against a tree trunk after eating, and asked.
Chu Qi suddenly sat up straight, threw the thin wooden branch for picking teeth on the ground, and stared at Ke Yue in confusion, "No!"
"Do you still remember that we saw a stone slab engraved with dozens of strange animals and a line of strange patterned text in the 'Gateway of Time and Space' tunnel?"
"Yeah, I'm impressed!" Chu Qi nodded with eyes wide open in surprise.
"It was also when I was collecting dew that I remembered that the first animal on the stone slab was a monster with the head of a lion and a body, so I was deeply impressed."
"I remember there was a dream-eating tapir on the stone slab." Chu Qi suddenly became alert and continued: "The dream-eating tapir is an auspicious beast that reaches the sky. How could it be carved with a monster with a lion's head and body, and why would it attack us?
?”
"Good question! The lion-headed monster is probably the guardian of some mysterious magic weapon. After being injured, the magic weapon was stolen. He followed it all the way. He does not belong to this world."
"Did you guess it, or did you discover something?" Chu Qi heard Yunshan Mist Mask ask softly.
Ke Yue said with great certainty: "I looked specifically to see that his footprints were exactly the same as those left on the shore of the mysterious river."
"I understand. There is only one answer. The monster mistook us for treasure thieves, and the treasure thieves are us humans."
