Chapter 17: Trapped in Death
Judging from Lu Ming’s series of reactions just now, plus his talent, Zhan Zhao was 100% sure that as long as he was given actual time, Lu Ming would definitely grow into a strong man.
But now, Lu Ming no longer has the opportunity to grow.
The Butcher and the Viper were originally only a few hundred meters away from Zhan Zhao and the others, and they saw everything Lu Ming did.
Lu Ming’s actions shocked them. Is this really something a five-year-old child can do?
Viper immediately said, "Brother, I'll go after that kid Lu Ming, and you take care of the guys from the Temple of the Fate Master."
The butcher nodded in agreement and gave some instructions before leaving.
"We must kill that kid, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future."
He had already seen from Lu Ming's reaction that he was extraordinary. This kind of enemy must die, otherwise he would become a big trouble.
"I know!"
The Viper responded and rode his Qingfeng horse towards Lu Ming.
On the other hand, Lu Ming did not try his best to escape. He wanted to attract the butcher and others to chase him.
Seeing the venomous snake running towards him, he sighed softly: "Master Zhan, Tieniu, I can only help you up to this point."
Although he also wanted to attract both of them, the probability of doing so was extremely low, and he had anticipated the situation before him.
Soon the distance between the venomous snake and Lu Ming was shortened to a hundred meters, and Lu Ming began to run away with all his might.
Looking at Lu Ming who was speeding up again, Viper raised his eyebrows: "Interesting."
"Night Owl"
He called softly, and the life-beast Night Owl appeared in a flash of light.
"Go and stop him."
The night owl flapped its wings and flew high, and soon found the right angle to swoop down towards Lu Ming.
Although Lu Ming was running away, he was still keeping his eyes and ears open.
He noticed the night owl the moment it swooped down, and the iron bar hidden in his sleeve immediately appeared in his hand.
The night owl swooped down at an extremely fast speed and arrived above Lu Ming's head in the blink of an eye.
The sharp claws aimed at Lu Ming's head and grabbed it.
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth rose slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He was running fast when he suddenly rolled to the side and the iron spike in his hand flew out.
After doing all this, he didn't even check whether he had shot the night owl, and immediately got up and ran away.
While Night Owl was preparing to crush Lu Ming's head, he never expected that Lu Ming, as the prey, could launch such a deadly counterattack.
It flapped its wings frantically to avoid the iron spike, but the distance between the two was too close, and the distance of several meters was not enough for it to dodge.
"puff"
The iron rod scraped against the night owl's body and pierced its wing.
"Wow!"
There was a sharp cry, a voice that contained both fear and anger.
The night owl with injured wings stumbled to the ground like a crashed helicopter.
"Nite Owl!"
The venomous snake screamed and quickly took back the book of life from the night owl.
The Book of Fate has a magical ability, which is healing. As long as the beast does not die on the spot, it will recover as before under the treatment of the Book of Fate.
Viper stared at the fleeing Lu Ming with an angry face. Now he had lost interest in him and was filled with endless murderous intent.
"If you dare to hurt my beast, I will cut you into pieces."
"Qingfeng Ma, chase after me!"
Feeling the anger of its master, Qingfengma used its own skills.
"Wind control!"
Qingfeng Horse has wind-related abilities and can ride the wind at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, Qingfeng Horse's speed doubled.
Lu Ming, who was fleeing in front, accidentally looked back and found a poisonous snake chasing him quickly, and was shocked.
"not good."
He did not dare to delay and ran towards the top of the mountain with all his might.
While running away, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind and he instinctively dodged to the side.
"boom"
The earth and rocks at the original location collapsed, and a cloud of dust rose.
Lu Ming's pupils shrank. If he had been a little slower, he would have been killed in the attack.
Not daring to delay, Lu Ming continued to run away, but he was more careful about what was behind him.
Just after running a hundred meters, Lu Ming changed direction again, and there was another explosion.
His face was solemn. Now he could see clearly that the attack just now was the wind blade attack launched by the Qingfeng Horse of the Viper.
The wind blade's attack speed was extremely fast and its power was quite strong, posing a great threat to him.
"If you keep going like this, you won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Lu Ming looked up at the top of the mountain. At this moment he was still more than 200 meters away from the top.
“I hope we can find a glimmer of hope there!”
Lu Ming is now on a barren mountain. There are no trees at all to cover him. There are only some rocks, but these rocks cannot stop the poisonous snakes behind him.
All he could do now was to reach the top of the mountain as quickly as possible to see if there was any hope of escape.
Qingfeng Horse locked onto him and chased him relentlessly.
At the same time, he continued to launch wind blade attacks, putting Lu Ming in danger several times.
On horseback, Viper's face was gloomy. Lu Ming's counterattack just now almost killed Night Owl, which made him very scared.
Although a fortune teller's beast can be obtained again after death, it is not easy to obtain a beast. It takes a lot of time and resources to cultivate it again, and the investment is not ordinary.
Lu Ming's escape speed was so fast that even the Qingfeng horse, which was the best runner, could only follow him closely and could not catch up with him for a while.
"See how long you can escape!"
Soon Lu Ming rushed to the top of the mountain and took a breath.
"The situation is not good!"
The top of this barren mountain is not very large and is very flat, like a vast plain, making it not suitable for hiding at all.
What’s even more terrible is that on the other side of the mountain is a straight cliff, and there is a rumbling sound of water below, which is a turbulent river.
He looked back and saw that the poisonous snake had already reached the top of the mountain, and his retreat was blocked.
Rushing to the top of the mountain, Viper sneered.
"Run, run again!"
Lu Ming didn't say anything, but just stared at the poisonous snake, fully alert.
Seeing that Lu Ming had no chance of escape, Viper was not in a hurry to kill him.
There was a flash of light, and the previously injured Night Owl and his other life beast, the Green Scaled Snake, appeared.
"Lu Ming, you really gave me a big surprise. I didn't expect you to be so difficult to deal with at such a young age!"
Lu Ming's eyes flashed: "How do you know my name?"
Viper sneered and stroked his beard: "I have no obligation to explain anything to you. You'd better be a confused ghost."
"Night Owl, the time for revenge has come."
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. The night owl next to them has been waiting impatiently. When it heard the order from its master, it immediately attacked Lu Ming.
Although its wings are injured and it cannot fly, it does not affect the Night Owl's attack.
The rocks under Lu Ming's feet collapsed, and a thick vine emerged and wrapped around him.
Lu Ming was startled and dodged quickly to avoid the sneak attack from the vines.
But this vine was like a living thing, and it would not stop until it had entangled Lu Ming, and continued to entangle Lu Ming.
When Lu Ming was dodging, the green-scaled snake also rushed towards him.
The green-scaled snake moved forward quietly, and as most of Lu Ming's attention was on the vines, he did not notice the appearance of the green-scaled snake for a moment.
Just as Lu Ming jumped to avoid the vines, the green-scaled snake flew up and bit him.
The green-scaled snake found a good opportunity, and he was in the air and had no way to avoid its attack.
The venomous snake smiled: "Let's see if you survive this!"
