Chapter 26 Observation Haki - Awakening
Vic turned his anger into appetite and came to the inner circle to hunt again. The meat of the quagga was the most delicious meat Vic had found on the island during this period of time. It was delicious whether it was roasted, fried, deep-fried or stewed, so Vic planned to hunt two more and bring them back to eat.
The quagga is a social animal that looks like a donkey, but its fur has black and white stripes. Because its meat is delicious, it is food for many predators, so the quagga lives in groups. If a predator attacks them, they will unite and charge together violently. A single quagga is not scary, but when they are in a group, they are scary. Many predators are hit or trampled to death by them while hunting.
Vic was not that scared. He was fast enough and had excellent swordsmanship. A quagga beast died under his sword before the beasts could react. After killing the quagga beast, he did not stop but quickly stepped on the moon steps to get farther away. Otherwise, if he was discovered by the beasts, they would still come over and charge at him violently, so he had to get farther away.
After the donkey herd fails to find any predators, they will leave after a while, and then Vic can go and pick up the dead quagga. Of course, you have to choose the right time, because if you go too late, only bones will be left.
After Vic discovered the herd of donkeys, he launched a sneak attack and then fled far away. After the donkeys left cursing, Vic came back with a smug smile.
"Little guy, learn something about guerrilla warfare. If I don't eat you, who will I eat? Hahaha... No, I have to go quickly." He ran back to the wooden house carrying the two zebras. Now there were a lot of bones piled around the wooden house, which had become the wall of the wooden house. From a distance, it looked like a white wall. Vic felt that he was "deeply sinful" and would go to hell after he died.
Today Vic is preparing a full donkey feast. Let's learn about the eight ways to eat a zebra donkey. Vic lighted the charcoal fire and slowly roasted one zebra donkey, while he did something more fancy with the other one. He was ready to have a big meal today.
After setting up the grill, Vic went back to the cabin to prepare other dishes. He had already prepared pan-fried donkey chops and braised donkey meat. Donkey meat was stewing in a pot on the side, and he was now frying the donkey chops.
Just then, he heard a collision sound outside the wooden house. He took the meat out of the pot, put down his chopsticks and went outside. Vic was startled and the hair on his back stood up.
A huge creature was eating his donkey meat, and it was eating happily. Vic's heart was a little heavy. This was a western dragon, a big lizard with wings. Its body was dark, reflecting the light of metal, and it was full of oppression. Vic had seen it before on the full moon night. It should be considered a creature ranked in the third echelon. Vic was deeply impressed by this creature with claws, fangs, a powerful tail, and wings.
This western dragon is one of the few creatures that escaped unscathed. It is very aggressive, with a pair of sharp claws that can leave several huge wounds with a single swipe. It also has a big mouth with amazing bite force, which can tear a large piece of meat off the body with one bite. The black scales covering its body also provide good defense, and it has wings that allow it to fly, making it very maneuverable. If it were not for its smaller size than those sea king creatures, it would also be a strong contender for the mysterious fruit.
Vic didn't know whether it was following him or coming here after smelling the fragrance. Anyway, Vic's legs were a little shaky now, and they were not as big as the sea kings, but even a two-legged creature like Vic could eat them with every bite, and they were crunchy.
The Western Dragon was eating without noticing Vic. It swallowed the roasted zebra beast, including the bones and meat. It stretched out its tongue with a look of unsatisfied feeling, licked its big mouth with white sharp teeth, then turned its head to look towards the wooden house with a slight twitch of its nostrils.
Vic knew that the aroma of the donkey meat in the house could not escape the dragon's nose. Vic was not going to back down. He was not a pushover. Who would be afraid of someone he had never fought before? He had heard of dragon slayers before, so he might as well give it a try.
He flashed back into the house, took the snow leaning against the wall and walked out, and the dragon had already approached the cabin.
Vic drew the Snow Sword from his waist, and with a "shave" came to the dragon's head. He was about to chop it down, but before the sword hit the dragon's head, the dragon opened its mouth and roared violently at Vic. A black shadow flashed by, and in a flash, Vic flew out at the same speed. Vic smashed down his white wall, and he was blown away by the dragon's black wings.
Vic shook his head a little confused and rushed over again. This time he was prepared and was not hit, but the dragon was too tall and Vic could not trim its pedicures on the ground. He could only rely on the Moon Step to collide with the dragon's claws and wings in the air. Vic was not as strong as the dragon, and every time he was repelled, he would come back and fight again using the Moon Step, determined not to let the dragon steal his food again.
The dragon was also a little angry. What’s the big deal about eating a little of your flesh? You’re fighting so hard, but you didn’t dig up your ancestral graves.
The dragon roared loudly, making Vic dizzy. He flew out again accidentally, making a big hole on the ground. There was a line of blood at the corner of Vic's mouth. He had suffered internal injuries. The dragon's angry attack was so powerful that it exceeded Vic's body's endurance.
Of course Vic would not give up, he had been injured before and was used to it. He used the Six-style "Shave" and the man and the beast were entangled again.
This time, Vic kept his mind focused and was not affected by the roar. However, it was difficult for Vic's Iron-Cutting Skill to break through the dragon's defense. He wanted to comprehend a higher level of Iron-Cutting Skill in battle and make a breakthrough.
Vic performed his sword moves again and again, and many unnecessary movements that had not been discovered before were eliminated by Vic. His sword moves became more and more refined, simpler and more in line with his own habits.
Vic felt his swordsmanship improving, and he was very pleasantly surprised. "I still need to fight more with strong men, so that I can improve faster. Even fighting with beasts is okay." Vic said secretly.
Vic was a little too happy and ended up in sorrow. The dragon became even angrier when it saw that it couldn't deal with Vic for a long time, so it opened its mouth and bit towards Vic with its mouth full of sharp teeth. Vic hurriedly dodged to avoid the huge mouth, but as soon as he stopped moving, a huge claw slapped him. Vic was too late to dodge, and his chest was hit hard, so he flew far away, creating a deep pit.
Vic was seriously injured, with a lot of bright red blood flowing out of his mouth and nose. The snow in Vic's hand had flown out of his hand, and he climbed out of the deep pit with difficulty without a weapon.
Vic was in a trance at this time, and was about to faint. Vic could no longer hear any sound, but stood up numbly and looked at the dragon. The dragon looked up to the sky, opened its huge mouth, spread its wings, and stretched its claws to both sides of its body. The author guessed that it might be shouting in anger, "You are just a two-legged beast, and you keep standing up again and again. Don't I, the Dragon King, have any dignity? It's really not easy to eat some of your meat!"
But Vic couldn't hear any sound. He instinctively felt that the dragon in front of him was very dangerous, but his body was a little out of control.
Sure enough, the dragon opened its mouth and spewed a fireball at Vic. Vic felt a great sense of crisis and screamed frantically in his heart, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly." At the critical moment, there was a slight sound in his body, as if something broke open.
Vic dodged the fireball, and all the sounds returned to his ears, the roar of the dragon, the crackling of the burning charcoal, the sound of waves under the cliff... He could also hear many sounds that he had not heard before.
Vic knew that he had finally awakened his Observation Haki. He saw the giant dragon rushing over and clawing him. He saw a leaf fall from the tree at the edge of the forest. He saw a fish leap out of the sea...
