Chapter 67: First Encounter with the Mysterious Beast

  "Hmm, doesn't look very good, only a pair of big eyes can show a few points of cuteness, the rest is really not as good as before...” Wu Yeyu muttered to himself, looking at the distant Flash Lynx, which occasionally let out a few sharp cries.

  At that moment, Wu Ye's mind was filled with wild thoughts. Suddenly, the electric weasel in the distance turned its round eyes around a few times, sizing up the situation, then suddenly kicked off with its hind legs and shot out like lightning, transforming into a gray light as it rushed towards the nearest guard. Its black paws were slightly raised, clawing at the guard's neck.

  The guard, who was slightly closer, had been on high alert for a long time and had already noticed the abnormality of the lightning leopard. However, even so, he only barely caught a glimpse of the beast's shadow in the nick of time, and with great difficulty, raised the dagger in his hand to block it.

  Only a sound of "hiss!" was heard, and sparks flew everywhere. The dagger with good quality now had three claw marks on it. Then, the lightning weasel suddenly turned around and disappeared from the guard's sight. Not daring to be careless, the guard quickly activated his protective aura and his hands moved swiftly, a dagger dancing wildly as he tried to cover himself completely.

  However, it was a bit late. The guard only felt a pain in his back, and the Thunder Ferret had already jumped to his back, leaving a blood mark on its body. Then the guard only felt a numbness spreading all over his body, knowing that he had been poisoned. But he didn't dare stop his movements, fortunately, he had activated his protective aura, which blocked most of the beast's attacks. Otherwise, it wouldn't have just left a simple blood mark.

  Several guards nearby rushed over, opening with vigor, daggers flying up and down, constantly attacking the lightning ferret on the guard's body, but also grasping the force well, without hurting that guard. It was clear that they had a tacit understanding long ago. The lightning ferret saw no opportunity to take advantage of, could only temporarily retreat, waiting for an opportunity to find the next target to strike.

  Facing such a flexible monster, the guards obviously have their own set of experiences. First, they use relatively short and light weapons to respond, otherwise it's hard to keep up with the speed if using long-range weapons. Secondly, when facing this type of monster, even if one strike doesn't hit, they can't panic, at least they must defend their vital parts well to prevent any accidents. Even if injured, they cannot slack off. Thirdly, there is the mutual cooperation between teams.

  This Thunder Ferret is considered a top-tier existence among all low-level demon beasts, and is one of the few that the guards are most unwilling to confront. Although its fur defense is not high, it has extremely fast speed, sharp claws and teeth, and can easily get caught in its path. It is evaluated as a third-class top-tier demon beast, which shows how much of a headache it is. The Thunder Ferret's most valuable parts are its paws, teeth, and the paralyzing venom secreted from its body, all of which are highly sought after by various forces on the market.

  "Let me!" Wu Zongyue saw that his own men had already been injured, and knew it was time for him to take action. He dispersed the guards in front of him, drew out his long sword, and with a flick of his body, rushed towards the Lightning Leopard.

  The Thunder Ferret clearly knew the severity of the situation and retreated, scattering across the ground in an attempt to avoid the threat. However, it had underestimated Wu Zongyue's strength. With a slight twist of his foot, Wu Zongyue accurately caught up with the Thunder Ferret, judging its trajectory as it dodged through the air. His long sword stabbed swiftly, like a flash of lightning, and with a faint aura attached to it, struck at the Thunder Ferret with speed and ferocity.

  Just as it was about to pierce its head, the beast suddenly rotated quickly in mid-air and scratched the sword with its claws at a critical moment, then borrowed strength to jump out. However, the powerful aura of the Sword King was not so easy to dodge, and the lightning ferret's paws were also shaken by the sword's aura, becoming a bloody mess.

  "Huh! What a cunning beast!" Wu Zongyue saw that his sword had not hit its mark, and was somewhat surprised. He immediately turned around to face the guards behind him and shouted, "Be on guard!"

  At this time, the guards were already waiting with bated breath, their short knives and daggers in a defensive posture. Who would have thought that the weasel suddenly darted into the group of guards?

  Such a blatant move naturally couldn't get away with it, and all that could be heard was the sound of "clang clang clang clang!" as all of Flash's attacks were blocked, and two more wounds appeared on his body.

  Lightning Leopard's speed did not decrease, and it moved rapidly on the ground, its four limbs like small motors, constantly tapping the ground, dodging left and right, avoiding the incoming weapons, and finally breaking through the guard's defensive net, rushing towards Wu Ye Yu and Da Hei Gou.

  "Not good! Protect the young master!" The guards who had been tricked suddenly realized the true purpose of the Thunder Leopard, and immediately spoke up. Wu Zongyue, who was far away, also became anxious and hurriedly used his internal energy to rush over in this direction.

  "Ha! If I had waited for you to rescue me, I would have died several times already!" Wu Ye Yu's eyes were fixed intently on the Thunder Fox dashing towards him, his eyes moving with its shadow, his body in an attacking posture, his fists ready to strike at any moment. His chest seemed to be bursting with a fiery passion, and his mind was filled with excitement. The big black dog beside him also had its limbs slightly bent, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

  Then, a swift and fierce lynx appeared on the ground, its hind legs kicked off, and in an instant, it had already arrived in front of Wu Ye Yu. One of its paws was slightly raised, and with a swipe at Wu Ye Yu's neck, it seemed to want to settle him with one move.

  Wu Ye Yu naturally didn't expect it to be that easy, but the speed of this beast was still beyond his expectations. At this time, if he were to attack, it would obviously be too late, so he could only dodge!

  Just as the black cat's paw was about to slash his throat, Wu Ye Yu swiftly arched his upper body backward and narrowly dodged it. However, the Thunder Ferret didn't leave completely empty-handed; a few strands of Wu Ye Yu's hair were cut off from his forehead, and its basketball-sized body flew by like a bullet.

  But Wu Yeyu didn't plan on letting it go just like that at this time.

  "Damn it! You think you can just leave like this?!"

  Wu Ye Yu swung his paws as the Thunder Ferret flew over him, and in that instant, his curved legs twisted irregularly before suddenly straightening, sending him flying backward along with the Thunder Ferret.

  At this time, the lightning leopard was already old and weak, and it was still in mid-air, so its body was naturally falling, and its speed couldn't be compared to its prime. On the other hand, Wu Yeru had both legs on the ground, with full strength, and was actually caught up by Wu Yeru before it landed.

  At this moment, Wu Ye's eyes were fixed on the Thunder Leopard above, even the fleeting panic in its eyes could be seen clearly. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and his senses became extremely sharp.

  You can clearly hear your own heartbeat, breathing sound, and the footsteps of the guards running towards this side.

  Even his eyes could see through the reflection of dew in the sky, and saw that Old Cheap was now flying towards him with a look of anxiety on his face.

  At this moment, Wu Yeyu could clearly feel that the air was filled with joy, and faintly, there were children's laughter constantly coming from afar. Countless unknown light points seemed to be summoned, serving as his eyes, ears, and senses!

  Wu Ye Yu's spirit was highly concentrated at this moment, his body naturally shrinking slightly before suddenly expanding, the force throughout his entire body as if it could move freely, gathering and converging on his small fists. Then, his fist which had been building up momentum for a long time shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, bursting forth with a loud crash! Leaving behind ring after ring of ripples in the air.

  "Ka!" A loud crack was heard as it landed on the body of the Electric Eel Cat.

  Then, the beast was struck by a car and flew straight up into the air. Wu Zongyue, who had arrived in front of Wu Yeyu, swung his sword out and nailed it to a sturdy tree trunk, where it remained motionless.

  At this time, Wu Yeru seemed to have used up all his strength, lying on the muddy ground panting heavily, and his whole body showed some signs of fainting. It was unclear whether it was because he had consumed too much spiritual energy just now, or because he was scared by the situation at the moment of life and death, and finally he could only stand up with Wu Zongyue's support.

  "Go on, young man! Well done! You're indeed the son of Wu Zongyue! You have a kind!" Wu Zongyue patted Wu Yeru's shoulder with one hand, praising him with a proud expression.

  But no matter how you listen to it, it feels like this guy is just boasting about himself. However, Wu Ye Yu doesn't have the energy to bother with him right now.

  He shook off Wu Zongyue's supporting hand, and at this time, Wu Yeru had felt a lot better, his body also recovered some strength, in the eyes of the guards' awe, he slowly walked towards the big black dog.

  "How's that, know the difference now? Just now you didn't even react!" Wu Ye Yu squatted down and patted the big black dog on the head, with a smug expression, "Hmph! Now you're not as fierce as me, do you know to listen? Or else there won't be any good fruit for you to eat in the future."

  "Woof! Woof!" As if understanding Wu Yeyu's words, the inferior dog looked very dissatisfied and argued with Wu Yeyu.

  Looking from afar at Wu Zongyue and the dog, he couldn't help but feel a little amused. His own son was actually so close to a big black dog, which was really unthinkable. It also happened to be at this time that something unexpected appeared!

  "No! The Thunder Leopard is still alive!" A guard who had climbed the tree to retrieve Wu Zongyue's sword and the Thunder Leopard's corpse shouted.

  Wu Zongyue was stunned after hearing the words, and then he heard a "whoosh" sound beside his ear. A gray shadow flashed by from the side, like an arrow off the string, shooting straight at Wu Yeru in the distance!

  "Impossible!" This was Wu Zongyue's thought at this moment, but his face changed suddenly and he rushed to Wu Yeyu, shouting loudly, "Be careful!"

  At this time, Wu Ye Yu had already made preparations and it was still his good luck. After teaching the big black dog a lesson, he habitually looked at the system map and suddenly found that the bright red dot was still there. He immediately knew that the Thunder Ferret hadn't died yet. With a thought, he quickly released a large amount of water from his storage space to form a huge water sphere between him and the Thunder Ferret.

  As a result, before he could even condense the water into ice, he heard a "plop!" sound, and the Electric-type Meowth had already charged into the water.

  At that moment, only a flash of gray light was seen, and an instant hole was opened in the transparent water group with a radius of five meters. A bowl-sized air mark remained in the water.

  Wu Ye looked back at the Shanyue, which was still spinning in the water but with a significantly reduced speed. The creature's face was twisted and its blood-red eyes were filled with madness. Its mouth was wide open, revealing sharp teeth on the outside. It was imaginable that if Wu Ye hadn't been prepared, this beast would have bitten his neck in one go, and at that time, whether he lived or died would be hard to say.

  "Woof!" As the otter struggled to get through the water, the big black dog suddenly sprang up, let out a loud bark, and in one swift motion, clamped its jaws around it.

  The sharp teeth exerted a slight force, and with a "crack" sound, the head of the Electric Weasel was bitten to pieces. The Electric Weasel, being a third-grade demon beast, wouldn't just sit there waiting for death. However, strangely, its sharp claws grasped onto the big black dog's head, but only managed to scratch off a few strands of fur, fewer than what the wretched dog would normally shed on its own, and didn't even break through the skin.

  As a result, this lightning-fast weasel ultimately met its demise in the jaws of a dog.

  "Hey! Cheap dog! Don't eat it all, leave some for me!!"
