Chapter 356: Like a Treasure
Lin Ze was delighted, but he did not act impulsively. He continued to wait patiently for the best opportunity, holding the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the exposed skin on the monster's neck.
Finally, when the monster pounced again, Lin Ze saw this golden opportunity. He pushed his feet hard and rushed towards the monster like an arrow. At the same time, the long sword in his hand stabbed straight into the monster's neck.
With a muffled "puff" sound, the long sword easily pierced through the monster's solid defense and sank deeply into its body. The monster immediately let out a roar of extreme pain, and its huge body struggled wildly due to the severe pain.
Seeing this, Lin Ze did not dare to hesitate at all. He quickly retreated while the monster was in chaos. In the blink of an eye, he had created a safe distance between himself and the monster.
However, just when Lin Ze was delighted and thought that all the dangers and challenges had been settled, something unexpected happened suddenly without any warning. The monster that seemed to have died and had no power to fight back suddenly gushed out streams of thick, black liquid from its neck!
These strange black liquids seemed to have life, gathering together at an astonishing speed and condensing into an indestructible shield in a moment. The sword in Lin Ze's hand was stuck by this sudden shield, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, unable to move at all.
Seeing this, Lin Ze was horrified and quickly grasped the hilt with both hands, trying his best to pull the sword out of the extremely solid shield. But no matter how hard he pulled, even with all his strength, the sword was still firmly embedded in the shield as if it had taken root, without any sign of loosening.
At the same time, the severely injured monster was slowly waking up from the brink of death. It stared at Lin Ze with eyes full of resentment and hatred, and its blood-red eyes flashed with a blazing fire of revenge, as if it wanted to completely burn the person who dared to challenge its majesty.
Lin Ze was acutely aware that the situation was deteriorating rapidly. If he continued to stay here and fight with this ferocious monster, the consequences would be disastrous. So, he made a wise choice without hesitation - to take a strategic retreat first and then make a decision after finding a more effective response strategy.
In a flash, Lin Ze turned around without hesitation and ran away like an arrow. As he walked away, the monster's deafening roar of anger could be heard from behind.
Lin Ze sped along, the whistling wind in his ears could not cover up the sound of his violently beating heart. At this moment, his brain was working at an unprecedented speed, thinking hard about how to defeat this terrible monster. Because he knew very well that everything he had just experienced was just the beginning of this thrilling adventure...
Lin Ze rushed into the deep and quiet forest like a flash of lightning.
His heart was beating rapidly as if it was about to burst through his chest, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but the instinct for survival drove him to keep running forward.
Finally, he came under a towering tree. His body seemed to have been drained of all its strength. He leaned limply against the trunk, his mouth wide open, breathing in the air greedily. Each breath was filled with a burning breath, and his lungs seemed to be about to explode.
However, before he could completely catch his breath, a subtle, creepy rustling sound came into his ears.
His heart tightened and he became alert instantly, looking around nervously with wide eyes.
In the dense grass, pairs of eyes emitting strange green light were fixed on him like will-o'-the-wisp.
These eyes flashed with cold light, revealing endless murderous intent and greed.
Lin Ze subconsciously tightened the slightly old but still sharp sword in his hand, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his palms because of nervousness.
He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm, and focused his attention on the enemies hiding in the darkness, ready to fight a life-and-death battle at any time.
At this moment, a huge python swooped down from the branches above his head like a ghost.
It opened its bloody mouth, its fangs flashing an eerie light, and brought up a foul-smelling gust of wind.
Lin Ze reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
At the same time, he swung the sword in his hand, drawing a silver arc in the air and slashing hard on the python's thick body.
"Hiss--" The python let out a painful roar and green blood splattered out.
The injured python became more and more crazy. It twisted its huge body and attacked Lin Ze again.
Lin Ze did not dare to be careless at all. He dodged left and right flexibly and started a thrilling fight with the python.
In a brief interval, Lin Ze seized the opportunity and used all his strength to stab the sword in his hand straight into the python's head.
There was a muffled "puff" sound, and the tip of the sword sank deeply into the python's head.
The python twitched violently several times, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no movement anymore.
Seeing the python fall, the other animals that had been hiding nearby were suddenly frightened out of their wits. They screamed in terror, ran away in all directions, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lin Ze then let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave this place of trouble, he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on a hard object.
He looked down curiously, and what came into his sight was a tattered book.
The cover of this book has been worn so much that the words can no longer be seen, and the edges are covered with traces of time.
Lin Ze hesitated for a moment, but still bent down and picked up the book.
When he gently turned the pages of the book, lines of ancient and mysterious text appeared before his eyes.
After reading it carefully, he was surprised to find that the book contained a powerful and mysterious spell, which might be able to help him defeat the terrible monster he had been pursuing.
Lin Ze's eyes widened so wide that they almost popped out, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in, his heart felt like a ferocious beast rampaging around, and an uncontrollable excitement surged up in him like a volcanic eruption!
With trembling hands, he held the book that exuded an ancient atmosphere carefully as if it were a treasure, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world and he was the lucky one.
