Chapter 159: [Big Cat] (8,000) Part 5
Chen Yan had just smashed an axe into this creature's head, but it only shook its head without getting hurt. Instead, it lunged forward. If Chen Yan hadn't dodged quickly, its tusks might have pierced his abdomen.
With one hand holding the axe, and his fingertips of the other hand gripping a Talisman, Chen Yan had already run to the foot of the ridgeline. He turned around and leaped onto a rock, watching the most robust Hunting Beast charge toward him. With a grim smile, Chen Yan ripped open the Rune!
Boom!!
A torrent of invisible Sword Qi swept forth like a violent storm!
The hunting beast, resembling a bull calf, was directly hit. It managed to run three or four steps forward before its body split into pieces, blood sprayed everywhere!
Yet, the other Hunting Beasts remained as fierce as ever. One had already reached the rock, jumped up, and climbed its forelimbs onto the rock, snorting and panting, eyes red with fury as it tried to push toward Chen Yan.
Chen Yan swung the axe onto the creature's head, but the axe got stuck in its skull. With a powerful shake, it fell to the ground, lifeless now, its head split open, but Chen Yan lost his axe.
Two Hunting Beasts were still climbing the rock. Now, Chen Yan was unarmed, only with a Ten Thousand Sword Talisman left in his hand!
At this moment, a sudden roar came from behind Chen Yan.
"Awoo!!"
A snow-white shadow leaped over Chen Yan's head from the top of the ridge!
With a dive, it pounced one of the Hunting Beasts off the rock, both beasts tumbling to the ground together.
The snow-white shadow was none other than the large white cat!
The white cat grabbed the beast's throat, but the beast was strong and shook its head, flinging the white cat aside.
Meanwhile, another Hunting Beast abandoned climbing the rock to attack Chen Yan and turned toward the tossed-away white cat.
As the white cat twisted around to jump up, it barely managed to dodge, yet the beast rammed its hindquarters. The creature turned to bite the beast's body and then climbed onto its back, claws embedded in its flesh, biting its neck fiercely.
The beast low growled and ran forward a few steps before collapsing. Its body struggled, but the white cat held on tightly, refusing to let go.
Another beast charged, hitting the cat's hind legs, and the cat's snow-white fur was stained bright red.
Finally, it released its grip, jumping backwards in a clumsy manner, raising its head and whimpering fiercely at the Hunting Beast.
Chen Yan noticed that the white cat's hind legs were trembling slightly.
The last Hunting Beast seemed finally afraid to challenge the cat alone, roaring angrily twice before retreating, then turning and rushing into the forest.
In the forest, the burning Hunting Beasts were nowhere to be seen. Two lay under trees, while the others had disappeared somewhere into the woods.
Standing on the rock, Chen Yan saw the white cat crawling forward, using its paw to nudge the beast it had killed, but its hind legs were blood-soaked, making its previously agile body appear more limping.
Yet, it turned around, slowly crawling toward Chen Yan, reaching the rock base where it sat down, lowered its head to lick its hind leg.
It was then Chen Yan realized something was wrong.
The blood on the white cat's body was increasing!
Looking closely, he saw the cat's injuries were not just on the hind leg where it had been rammed.
A large patch of red covered the soft fur on its abdomen!
It couldn't stand up, only lowering its head to lick its wounds, the hind leg wound, the abdomen wound, yet the more it licked, the more blood flowed.
Chen Yan fixed his gaze on its abdominal wound, suddenly realizing that earlier it had jumped from his head down, knocking a Hunting Beast off the rock…
In that moment, during the clumsy landing together, the beast's tusks had pierced the cat's abdomen!
"Ooh..."
The white cat lifted its head to look at Chen Yan, letting out a whimper.
Chen Yan was silent for a moment, realizing something, suddenly leaping off the rock, stepping to the cat's side.
The white cat showed no hostility, instead lowering its body as Chen Yan approached, even turning its head and lightly rubbed its furry head against Chen Yan's pants, seemingly very affectionate.
Chen Yan took a deep breath, pressed his hand on the white cat's head, and whispered, "I'll treat your wounds, can you cooperate with me?"
"Ooh~~"
The white cat lowered its head, pressing it against Chen Yan's boots.
