Chapter 61 Red Eyes
puff!
Blood suddenly appeared.
"Meow!"
The lead sheep was cleaved in the left foreleg by Lu Lin's knife.
The sharp blade slices into the fur, severing muscles and blood vessels.
Lu Lin sighed; it was still not quite there.
He was originally going to chop off the sheep's head, but when he made the move, he worried that the short knife wouldn't be able to withstand the force, so he slightly deviated from the target.
The knife could have struck the sheep's neck, but the sheep panicked and dodged to the side.
Lu Lin didn't have time to change his move, so he could only continue to increase his strength and split open the sheep's left front leg.
"fail."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Lin kicked the sheep away, sending it crashing heavily to the ground.
Lu Lin was not in a hurry to deal with the remaining sheep.
He swung the short knife down again and again.
Amidst the continuous screams of the fleeing sheep, Lu Lin finally put away his knife.
No wonder they say that real combat is the best way to train.
Although Lu Lin still couldn't accurately hit his target, he had improved a lot compared to when he hit the first sheep.
The students behind him were dumbfounded.
"Wow, bro, you're amazing! Those were demonic beasts, the Running Goat! You took down ten of them all by yourself?"
Lu Mo's voice was very loud.
The others also came to their senses at this point.
Fang Heng was the first to step forward, found the surviving sheep, and plunged his sword into its head.
Warm demon blood spilled onto the hem of Fang Heng's clothes.
The sensation, so different from the feeling after piercing the wooden stake, left Fang Heng momentarily dazed.
The others followed suit, adding insult to injury to the running sheep.
Whether they're dead or not.
"Alright, alright, stop poking. If you keep poking, the flesh will rot."
Lu Lin quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Let's go, let's get these sheep back first."
Lu Lin carried two of them by himself, while the others took the rest.
Inside the camp, Li Songtao looked at the students covered in blood and couldn't help but smile.
"Keep going! What are you standing there for? Do you want me to praise your bravery and skill in battle?"
He was secretly pleased with himself, but Li Songtao's words were cold and unsympathetic.
The students were in high spirits at the moment, and after unloading the sheep, they entered the fog area again.
"Now that you've had that experience, you're not afraid of the sheep anymore. Go hunt on your own. Remember what the chief said: don't get hurt."
Lu Lin gave them a warning, then ignored them and left alone.
This time, no one followed.
In their view, if Lu Lin could handle ten running sheep by himself, then even if they were weaker, they shouldn't have any problems dealing with two or three.
Lu Lin was extra careful in the fog.
He would stop and check his surroundings at the slightest sign of trouble.
Li Songtao said that there are wildebeest, gray deer, and red-eyed tigers in the foggy area, but there might be other creatures as well.
The name "Red-Eyed Tiger" immediately suggests it is a ferocious beast.
Lu Lin knew that in the jungle, wild beasts were at the top of the food chain, and their numbers could not possibly be as large as those of the running sheep.
However, we should not take chances.
After walking for a short while, Lu Lin encountered two wildebeest.
Wildebeests are much larger than goats, with their backs reaching as high as Lu Lin's shoulders.
It has two horns on its head.
Its hind hooves are strong and powerful.
Even while grazing, its muscle definition was still quite pronounced.
Seemingly sensing Lu Lin's scent, the two wildebeests raised their heads and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
Lu Lin was still two or three zhang away from the wildebeest, so he couldn't attack rashly at this moment.
But he didn't move, while the wildebeest did.
They circled around, heading towards where Lu Lin was.
Lu Lin forgot that the monsters in the mist are not purely vegetarian; creatures like wildebeest and goats are not picky eaters.
Sudden.
The two wildebeest let out a long neigh.
One horse charged towards Lu Lin, while the other went around to the side.
"Alright, so you're playing the 'I'm asleep' trick on me, but I'm not a butcher."
Lu Lin no longer hid.
With a push of his feet, he sent fallen leaves flying everywhere.
The next instant, the person was already beside the wildebeest.
The wildebeest had not expected Lu Lin to have such speed.
A knife sliced across the wildebeest's side.
Demon blood splattered.
But Lu Lin was unstained by blood.
Approaching the wildebeest from behind, Lu Lin grabbed its tail and pulled hard.
Lu Lin actually ripped off the long hair on its tail.
The wildebeest collapsed to the ground.
Lu Lin didn't care about it.
Seeing its companion injured, the other wildebeest that circled around Lu Lin was about to take the opportunity to attack him.
Lu Lin slipped, raised his hand and swung his sword, cleaving the wildebeest's back.
The blade bypassed the wildebeest's cervical vertebrae and ran down along the ribs on both sides.
Demon blood drenched Lu Lin.
However, Lu Lin did not flinch even as the wildebeest fell.
"It's done! It's done!"
Lu Lin was overjoyed; his knife strike had precisely targeted the gap in the wildebeest's bones.
When he chopped downwards, he didn't use much force; he simply chopped down along the ribs.
Isn't this exactly the effect that the "splitting the stake" move aims to achieve?
After a moment of excitement, Lu Lin quickly came back to his senses.
He looked at the wildebeest on the ground, which had almost been cut in two, and felt a little sorry.
This makes it difficult to move.
But it would be a shame to just throw it away like that. Why don't we try it first?
Lu Lin had tasted the raw mutton before, and it was not bad.
Use a short knife to cut off a piece of meat from the ribs, put it in your mouth and chew it.
"Horse meat is indeed a bit sour, and the muscles are strong, which makes the meat tough and dry, and not tasty."
Lu Lin decided that he would avoid wildebeests as much as possible in the future, because their meat was really hard to eat.
After quickly cleaning up the bloodstains on his body, Lu Lin continued on his way.
Unbeknownst to him, a strong figure arrived a moment later in front of the two wildebeest carcasses, sniffed them carefully, and then began to feast on them.
Perhaps because of the bloodstains on his body, Lu Lin walked for a long time without encountering a single running sheep, and even the wildebeests he disliked did not reappear.
"The headmaster said there are many monsters in the fog area now, but I haven't encountered any for so long."
Lu Lin was somewhat puzzled.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by.
The leaves rustled.
The fallen leaves and wild grass underfoot swayed and fluttered.
"Is it windy?"
Enveloped in mist, where the sun never shines, the scene is perpetually shrouded in a gray haze.
Lu Lin had stayed here for nearly three days before, but he hadn't felt any wind.
"not good!"
Lu Lin suddenly became alert.
Holding a short knife, he looked around.
A hazy, misty atmosphere prevailed.
He could only see the scenery about five steps away from him; anything beyond that was unclear.
The only sound in the air was the rustling of leaves.
Apart from that, there was only deathly silence.
"Aww—"
A loud roar came from behind Lu Lin.
Lu Lin suddenly turned around.
But the next second, a gust of evil wind came from the upper left.
Lu Lin didn't have time to turn his head to look. He lowered his body and quickly moved three meters away.
Click.
The sound of fallen leaves being crushed underfoot could be heard.
Lu Lin's heart raced, and he turned to look.
A ferocious tiger with white eyebrows and red eyes landed on the ground, its body crouching low, and it turned its head to look at Lu Lin.
"Red-eyed Tiger?"
Lu Lin was startled.
No wonder we haven't seen any other demonic beasts for so long; it turns out they've entered the territory of the Crimson-Eyed Tiger.
This red-eyed tiger is over two meters long.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
Its fur is black, yellow, and brown, and beneath that tight fur are muscle lines as sharp as steel fibers.
