The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters.

Chapter 74 The Thin Line of Life and Death

Two against one, the battle begins again!
Shadow Moon Leopard was the first to charge and once again fought with the Monkey King.

It is still a fast-in and fast-out style of play, trying to avoid direct confrontation and involving the Monkey King's attention.

On the other hand, Yu Ke did not approach the Monkey King rashly because he was well aware of his melee capabilities.

Among humans, Yu Ke's power is considered powerful, but placed deep in the Jinghu Forest, it is simply not enough.

Moreover, the size difference between the two is too big, and the strength is even more different. If you are not sure of causing serious damage or even a fatal blow to the Monkey King, not only will your efforts be in vain, but you will also put yourself in danger.

You must know that the Shadow Moon Leopard had the extraordinary ability of Shadow Strike and was almost imprisoned by the Monkey King using the water prison!

Yu Ke's current small body would be disabled if he was hit by a mace made from his spine.

If they want to hunt successfully, Yu Ke and Shadow Moon Leopard must use their own advantages.

The huge size of the Monkey King means that if you want to cause serious damage to it, you must find the fatal point, otherwise it will be difficult to cause effective damage.

Eyes and ears, the back of the head and even the heart.

These three places are the first choices for Yu Ke's sharp-toothed bow and arrow.

Another point is that Yu Ke just noticed the Monkey King's brief loss of temper. It seemed that it could no longer suppress the infection in its body.
He leaped up to the heights of the jungle, constantly adjusting his position. His eyes roamed the Monkey King's upper body, waiting for an opportunity to inflict serious damage to the Monkey King.

At this moment, the Shadow Moon Leopard rushed towards the Monkey King again with its shadow. Yu Ke quickly bent his bow and arrow, aiming at the Monkey King's eyes. He released the bowstring at the moment when the former was about to approach the Monkey King, and launched an offensive with a condescending attitude.

This is to test the monkey king's reaction ability and whether it can respond to attacks from two directions.

Facts have proved that the ferocious beast that can become the overlord of a party is definitely not a parallel import.

First, he predicted the movement trajectory of the Shadow Moon Leopard in advance, and directly waved the mace to hit the water waves to block the Shadow Moon Leopard's sight. Then he turned his head and let the arrow scratch the left eye socket, and opened his mouth to bite the middle of the spine. , blue-grey eyes locked on Yu Ke among the tree branches high up.

The Monkey King admitted that he underestimated this insect that appeared out of nowhere, so that the carefully designed water prison siege was destroyed.

Now, it's going to make the other party pay!

Glancing at the Shadow Moon Leopard, who was temporarily stopped by the water waves, the Monkey King raised his free arms, grabbed the tree branches left and right, kicked his legs together, and his huge body rose at an extremely fast speed.

After all, it is a monkey, and while it has excellent aquatic properties, this towering dense forest is also its most familiar environment.

The general enlargement of the trees in the depths of the Jinghu Forest makes it feel like a fish in water. The three-foot-tall body jumps and prances between the thick tree trunks, just like an adult coming to an amusement park where children play.

At least in the hot spring forest area, the monkey king gets whatever he wants!

Yu Ke, who was standing at a high place, immediately sensed the danger and began to retreat to distance himself.

However, the speed at which he moved among the branches could not be compared with that of the Monkey King. The distance between the two sides continued to shrink until it was more than twenty meters. Yu Ke could even feel the trembling of the trees behind him and the smelly wind blowing.

Stopping and looking back, Yu Ke didn't dare to save the arrow at this time, so he turned around and fired three consecutive shots.

Two armor-piercing arrows hit the monkey king's eyeballs, and a bursting arrow hit the tree branch he wanted to hold with his left hand.

Yu Ke tried to delay the Monkey King's actions in this way, but he still overlooked one point.

For monkeys, hands and feet can often play the same role.

Facing the oncoming attack, the Monkey King chose to clasp the tree trunk with his feet, lie back, hang upside down in the air and dodge three arrows. He then used this momentum to turn over in the air and turned to use his hands. Grab the branch and keep going.

A series of smooth attacks, instead of slowing down the Monkey King, closed the distance again. He held the mace with his freed feet and slammed it towards Yu Ke. The latter was shocked when he saw it.

Even though Yu Ke was caught off guard for a moment, he hurriedly jumped away from the branch where he was staying, but failed to completely dodge the impact. He flew out and hit a nearby tree trunk.

The strong shock made Yu Ke feel tight in the chest and cough. He slid down against the trunk of the tree, barely holding on to half a branch to stabilize his body.

There were bloodstains on the left cheek. Yu Ke spat out a mouthful of bruises and began to move without waiting for his body to stabilize. He knew that now was definitely not the time to stop. Once the Monkey King got close to him, he would immediately fall into a disadvantage. At least he had to hold on until Shadow Moon Leopard came to support.

The problem is that the impact just now has given the Monkey King time. Yu Ke leaped in the air and turned around to check the Monkey King's position. What came into view was the fierce face that was already seven or eight meters away!

The monkey king hooked his left arm around the tree trunk and used his legs as support. He held the mace in his right hand and raised it high, intending to swing at Yu Ke.

Yu Ke was thinking about how to dodge, but he found that the Monkey King's originally stable body suddenly trembled, and suddenly slid down a large distance, and the right arm he held high also slumped down. After a closer look, he discovered the sarcomas on both sides of his neck. Blood spurted out.

Blood-stained petals poked out of the gaps between the tumors, and gray-white bone armor with muscles poked out from them.

Irreversible distortion was taking place. Yu Ke, who noticed this scene, was not panicked, but had a look of surprise on his face.

The ferocious beasts infected by Pandora will generally mutate, gradually losing their sanity and becoming more powerful in combat. However, the process of mutation is obviously extremely painful for ferocious beasts that still retain a certain amount of intelligence.

Especially the monkey king, the king of the tribe who is already very intelligent.

Previously, it soaked itself in the hot spring, most likely to use the high temperature to clear this infection. As a result, even delayed infection could not be achieved. Unless Pandora was eliminated, it could only passively endure the mutation and fall into madness.

At this moment, the Shadow Moon Leopard came rushing from below, leaving several blood marks on the Monkey King's back, making it shake. It roared and slapped backhand to drive the Shadow Moon Leopard away.

Yu Ke, who was originally thinking about how to avoid the Monkey King, quickly realized that this was an excellent opportunity to attack.

No wonder the Shadow Moon Leopard is eager to let him help hunt the Monkey King. The former's choice of hunting opportunities is so sophisticated!

In his normal state, the Monkey King possesses combat wisdom that is rare among ferocious beasts. He is extremely flexible and possesses the extraordinary ability to control water. He is also good at using weapons and calling for reinforcements from the monkeys.

After the mutation is completed, the deformed monkey king may lose his mind, but what will follow is an extremely powerful body, deformed limbs, a crazy desire to kill, and a virus infection all over his body.

If they come early or late, it will be extremely difficult for them to win.

It just so happened that it was at this point in time that the Monkey King still had his sanity, but was tortured by the infection, and sometimes went into chaos and madness. His body was still flexible, but he often suffered from slowness and pain due to the continuation of the mutation.

Yu Ke stopped evacuating and suddenly turned around to face the Monkey King, firing arrows in his hand.

At this stage of the hunting, there was nothing left to hide. Yu Ke used all his methods. Every arrow was filled with frosty air. Even if it could not hit the fatal spot, he still had to hit the monkey king's arm joint as much as possible. Continue Delay its action.

The Shadow Moon Leopard seemed to be aware of Yu Ke's determination and began to explode with all its strength.

The Monkey King wanted to fight back, but was limited by the physical pain and mental confusion. He barely managed to stabilize his body with his legs, and waved the mace randomly with both arms, trying to kill the remaining enemies that were constantly attacking around it. Ke and Shadow Moon Leopard knocked down.

However, the disordered movements and stiff body make it difficult for counterattacks to achieve results.

The monkey king that could flash around dozens of meters in the air and launch an offensive while hanging upside down was gone, replaced by a deformed beast that was struggling with infection and was about to reach its end.

Must seize this opportunity!

Taking advantage of the Monkey King's uncontrollable chaos, Yu Ke took the initiative to close the distance and threw out all the remaining explosive arrows in the quiver, continuously bombarding the Monkey King's shoulders, waist and abdomen.

These two places are the most severely infected areas, and the high temperature and fire generated by the explosion can temporarily lose the vitality of the chaotic colors.

Originally, this would allow the Monkey King to return to normal for a short time, but now the complex flowers are rooted in the flesh and blood, eroding the nerves and tendons. Their slowness means that the Monkey King will lose control of his body and become more passive.

Admittedly, doing so seems to be taking advantage of the monkey's situation.

This is hunting. What they are facing is a terrifying monster that is about to transform into an aberrant beast and destroy the forest environment. Talking about fairness with this kind of existence would be irresponsible for one's own life and the forest environment.

Killing it by any means necessary is the most important thing!
The Monkey King, which had been hit hard one after another, finally could no longer maintain its figure and fell from a high place. Its eyes had been completely eroded by the chaotic color, and the flesh and blood on its neck, chest and abdomen were unstoppably broken, and there was even a dark red color between its mouth and nose. Blood drips.

The aura of a natural creature disappeared visibly to the naked eye, its limbs began to tremble irregularly, its mouth full of white fangs protruded, its spine bulged, and bone armor appeared on its surface. The mutation had reached a critical point.

If it were allowed to cross that boundary, an overlord-level deformed beast would appear in the hot spring forest area.

By then, the ecological environment in this area will probably suffer a devastating blow.

Yu Ke and the Shadow Moon Leopard were more than twenty meters apart, their sights intertwined in the sky, and no extra signal was needed. The hunter's intuition made them realize that the final decisive moment had arrived.

The Shadow Moon Leopard roared angrily and ran wildly, its graceful figure shuttled between the branches and the shadows cast by the tree crowns, like a gray-purple lightning. Every time it passed by, it would leave deep visible scars on the latter's body.

The quiver was almost at its bottom. Yu Ke hung up his long bow and picked up the Leviathan ax. His eyes were fixed on the monkey king's head, and his figure plummeted from the height.

The monkey king fell into the water and was half submerged in the hot spring.

Holding on to the roots of the giant tree with his left hand, he tried to support his crumbling body. He raised his head and roared towards the gray sky. His roar was full of sorrow and anger, as if he was asking the world why he had to endure such pain.

But just a few seconds later, the roar changed its tone.

A crazy hoarse voice burst out from its wriggling throat, and chaotic colors overflowed among the flesh and flowers.

Just when the mutation was about to be completed, the deformed monkey king appeared.

A seemingly small figure jumped over the head of the Monkey King. The shadow cast by the giant tree could not cover the fierce momentum that exploded around him. The wind and snow swept across the sky at this moment, wrapping around the giant ax in his hand, forming a dark green, frosty figure. White two-color psychic energy.

The ax blade flew into the air and cut into the skin between the Monkey King's eyebrows. The wind and frost energy spurred by all his strength surged in and poured into the wound.

A brief lag.

Frost covered the Monkey King's forehead, and the flesh and blood between them burst into cracks.

At this moment, the Monkey King's arms no longer trembled, and the changes in his shoulders, chest and abdomen seemed to have pressed the pause button.

The pair of beast eyes filled with chaotic colors suddenly moved up, and their gaze locked on Yu Ke.

Muddy tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
