Chapter 9: The Wolf and Tiger Fight
Although the Sword Toothed Tiger is not an agile demon beast, as a mid-term second-tier demon beast, its speed must be faster than that of ordinary second-tier demon beasts. Su Ming's speed was only at the level of a second-tier demon beast, and the distance of several hundred meters between them was being narrowed down bit by bit.
Soon, Su Ming felt the sword-toothed tiger's breathing sound was already within a foot of his body. His heart instantly rose to his throat as he turned around in terror. The ferocious beast head was already one meter behind him, its bloody mouth wide open and facing his skull. Su Ming didn't hesitate to believe that this sword-toothed tiger could swallow him whole with just one bite.
For his life, Su Ming's body arched backward in mid-sprint as he raised the Xuan Tie Double Swords high and stabbed them into the Sword Toothed Tiger's open maw.
"Hmm..."
A thunderous tiger's roar shocked the surrounding low-level demonic beasts, countless low-level demonic beasts scattered in all directions. At this moment, not a single low-level demonic beast dared to trifle with the tiger.
Su Han, who was anxiously searching for his son, stopped in his tracks and furrowed his brow, wondering: "Could this kid have provoked the Sword Toothed Tiger?"
After observing from a distance, Su Han confirmed that Su Ming was definitely fighting the saber-toothed tiger. From the tiger's roar, it could be heard that Su Ming had injured the saber-toothed tiger. However, despite this, Su Han did not think that Su Ming could defeat the saber-toothed tiger. To know that the saber-toothed tiger's strength was equivalent to a human being in the Great Circle of the Mundane World.
At this time, Su Han's heart was getting more and more uneasy. His own son had barely come back to life, he couldn't die in the hands of Xiuwu, or else he would truly have nothing left.
Distinguish the direction of the sound, Su Han ran towards it at the fastest speed, constantly telling himself in his heart: must rescue his own son from the tiger's mouth.
Su Ming had just stabbed his sword into the Sword Toothed Tiger's mouth, causing the tiger to roar in pain as its body crashed to the ground. Since the sword was already deep within the tiger's mouth, Su Ming couldn't pull it out. To save his life, Su Ming abandoned his sword and fled.
Su Ming's sword thoroughly enraged the Sword Toothed Tiger, and in its anger, it bit off the sword despite being injured. Fresh blood trickled down from the corner of its mouth to the ground as it let out a deafening roar towards the sky. After that, the Sword Toothed Tiger charged at Su Ming with a fierce determination, unwilling to swallow its pride or soothe the wound in its beastly heart.
What a thrill, almost became the sword-toothed tiger's lunch, it seems that this life is still quite hard, Su Ming comforted himself while running wildly, he knew that if the sword-toothed tiger didn't die, he couldn't escape danger, at this time he was already close to his physical limit, such a full-force run had consumed a lot of his physical strength, if not for the mysterious footwork, Su Ming would have become food in the sword-toothed tiger's mouth.
At this time, Su Ming's mind flashed with a bright light, and a bold idea floated in his mind. He gritted his teeth and confirmed his approach.
"Little elf, help me find out if there are any demons around here that can rival the saber-toothed tiger." Su Ming shouted in his mind.
"Master, there is a wolf den 500 meters ahead. Inside the den are seven wolves, whose strength can rival that of a saber-toothed tiger."
"Master, you wouldn't be thinking..." The little spirit sensed Su Ming's thoughts and let out a cry of surprise.
"Anyway, whether horizontally or vertically, it's all death. It's better to drag a few more down with me, then dying will be worth it." Su Ming looked like he was taking it very calmly, but in reality, he was extremely unwilling to become the sword-toothed tiger's prey.
Four hundred meters
300 meters
Two hundred meters
One hundred meters
"Fifty meters"
The little elf kept reporting the distance between Su Ming and the wolf's den, Su Ming's heart was also raised to his throat. When the seven wolves appeared in front of Su Ming, he jumped up from his frantic run, did a flip in mid-air, and landed steadily on the ground.
Seven grey wolves stood at the entrance of the wolf's den, their ferocious fangs and menacing faces, as well as their eyes filled with killing intent, made Su Ming's body tremble slightly. The wolves were the strong among the predators, they had a kind of wildness that feared no danger, daring to challenge any enemy.
It can be seen from the beast pupils of the seven demon wolves that Su Ming has become their lunch, and as long as Su Ming dares to move a little, the seven demon wolves will definitely pounce on Su Ming in the next moment.
Su Ming stood still, and at this moment, he remembered a phrase. Am I now afraid of the wolf in front and the tiger behind? Who the hell used this phrase to describe being timid? Su Ming's tense face flashed with a hint of helplessness.
"Master, the saber-toothed tiger is still three hundred meters away from you. The little spirit suggests that you should quickly escape in the direction of three o'clock. There is a two-hundred-meter-tall ironwood tree one hundred meters ahead, which is your only chance to gamble with your life."
"It's over." Su Ming let out a low shout and immediately turned around to sprint wildly towards the three o'clock direction.
Su Ming successfully attracted seven demonic wolves. As he turned around to escape, the seven demonic wolves charged towards the direction he was fleeing in.
A moment later, Su Ming saw the iron fir tree that was over 200 meters tall, as mentioned by the little elf. Seeing this giant tree, Su Ming felt like he had seen a naked beauty, and he was overjoyed. He rushed to the front of the iron fir tree, and with his right foot stomping on the ground, he used the momentum to jump up, holding onto the tree trunk with both hands, and climbed upwards like a agile monkey.
When life is threatened, human potential is enormous. Su Ming climbed to the middle of the iron mulberry tree in one breath, and after panting for a while, he looked down and saw that the seven wolf demons had arrived under the iron mulberry tree, his heart tightened, fearing that the wolf demons would crash into the iron mulberry tree.
The wolf king let out a loud howl, just as it was about to charge at the ironwood tree, the saber-toothed tiger arrived under the tree. The wolf king cautiously retreated a step and exchanged a glance with the saber-toothed tiger.
In an instant, a deafening tiger's roar was heard, and the sword-toothed tiger seemed to be showing off in front of the Wolf King, scaring the surrounding low-level demon beasts into hiding again, fearing being affected.
Although the wolf demons were no match for the saber-toothed tigers, the seven wolf demons did not fear them, especially since the one in front of them was injured. From the fierce gaze of the wolf demon king, it could be seen that this saber-toothed tiger had become their food.
The saber-toothed tiger saw that the wolf king had no intention of retreating, so he temporarily gave up on Su Ming in the tree and focused his attention on the seven wolves in front of him. If he weren't injured, these seven wolves wouldn't be a match for the saber-toothed tiger, and he could have bitten them to death even if it meant getting hurt. However, there was still a broken sword stuck in his beastly mouth, and the wound continued to bleed fresh blood.
The saber-toothed tiger's sudden movement provoked the wolf demon's hostility, and the wolf king launched an attack first. The front hoof kicked the ground, and the wolf body jumped up like an arrow off the string, pouncing on the saber-toothed tiger. With one taking the lead, the other six wolf demons followed suit, pouncing on the saber-toothed tiger one after another.
Seeing the sword-toothed tiger and the seven demon wolves facing each other, Su Ming let out a breath of relief on the iron fir tree, his life was temporarily saved.
Facing the attack of the demon wolf, the saber-toothed tiger retreated a step back, then its body suddenly jumped up. The saber-toothed tiger did not rush straight to the demon wolf king, but instead bypassed the demon wolf king and went towards the slightly weaker demon wolf behind the demon wolf king.
