Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Xu Yi Is Injured

After considering for a while, Xu Yi decided to charge ahead.

After all, if Lu Ke were to get hurt by that Fierce Beast, it would be a huge loss.

Although his physical strength was almost depleted, he could still hold on for a while longer.

So, he chased after Lu Ke and the Fierce Beast.

However, his speed was relatively slow, and he hesitated for a moment in between, making it difficult to catch up.

Lu Ke also noticed and immediately shouted, “Xu Yi, it can’t catch up with me. I’ll lead it around, you rest for twenty minutes.”

Otherwise, Lu Ke was worried that once Xu Yi caught up, the Fierce Beast would immediately turn around to attack him.

If that happened, Xu Yi would definitely not be able to react in time, unable to evade.

“Okay, be careful.” Xu Yi shouted back, then slowed his steps, though not stopping completely.

Stopping completely would actually be unbearable for his body.

After walking for a few minutes, Xu Yi leaned against a tree to rest.

Occasionally, he could still hear the roars of the Fierce Beast.

Now, besides resting well, there was nothing else he could do.

Ten minutes passed, and Xu Yi took out the water from his bag and drank it in one gulp.

Not far away, Lu Ke was leading the Fierce Beast in circles.

Perhaps because her attacks had some effect, the speed of that Fierce Beast was a bit slower than before.

However, Lu Ke did not slack off because of this.

The more at times like these, the more cautious one must be.

Because sometimes, it might suddenly erupt and pounce directly.

Lu Ke had seen its terrifying moments before, so she was very fearful of it.

After pulling a distance of over twenty meters, Lu Ke finally felt somewhat relieved.

She led the Fierce Beast towards Xu Yi’s direction, planning to cooperate with Xu Yi and then take down this Fierce Beast.

Lu Ke thought this Fierce Beast should be worth quite a few points, maybe over 15.

“Xu Yi, here I come.” Lu Ke felt she was close to Xu Yi, so she shouted and then turned her head.

???

Where’s the Fierce Beast?

“Hahaha, Lu Ke is really too cute, she dragged the monster until it disappeared.”

“The Fierce Beast is just too cunning, it actually tricked Lu Ke.”

“Lu Ke’s expression is really… like she’s been dogged.”

“Perhaps the Fierce Beast smelled Xu Yi’s scent and turned around and fled, after all, it was already injured and clearly couldn’t take down Xu Yi and Lu Ke.”

“If such a cunning Fierce Beast isn’t killed, Xu Yi probably won’t sleep well. Once it recovers, it might come knocking one day.”

“Xu Yi has rested for a while, he probably won’t let that Fierce Beast go.”

Lu Ke looked at the empty forest behind, then said, “Xu Yi, that Fierce Beast ran away.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t get away. It’s over there in that direction.” Xu Yi pointed a direction and handed Lu Ke her pack.

Xu Yi’s hearing was better than Lu Ke’s, so when Lu Ke shouted to him, he realized the Fierce Beast had disappeared and immediately used his hearing to pinpoint its location.

Having rested for nearly twenty minutes, Xu Yi had recovered some stamina and his speed had improved considerably.

Over ten minutes later, Xu Yi and Lu Ke saw that Fierce Beast.

“One on each side, slice open its body and bypass it.” Xu Yi said, gripping his machete tightly.

This time, they were determined to take it down.

“Okay, be careful.” Lu Ke said, then took a deep breath.

The two accelerated forward, attacking simultaneously, slicing their weapons into the Fierce Beast’s body, cutting through, and smoothly running past.

Suddenly, Xu Yi felt a chill down his back and was sent flying.

He was hit by the Fierce Beast near his lower back.

After landing, Xu Yi immediately rolled and got back on his feet.

From his back came a sharp tearing pain, burning intensely.

No doubt, his back had been slashed open by the claws of the Fierce Beast.

“Xu Yi…” Lu Ke exclaimed and rushed over to Xu Yi.

The giant beast also charged over, mouth wide open towards Lu Ke.

“Watch out.” Xu Yi shouted, rushing forward.

His target was clear, one of the Fierce Beast’s arms.

Slashing, hacking.

Xu Yi executed seamlessly, severing a part of the Fierce Beast’s arm, then rushed past the beast’s back.

The Fierce Beast let out a miserable scream, then stood up and clawed and bit towards Xu Yi.

But Xu Yi had already returned and counter-attacked.

This time, his target was one of the beast’s legs.

Cut off this leg, and the Fierce Beast would no longer be a threat.

The machete met its leg, slicing into the Fierce Beast’s limb.

The stabbing pain pierced through the palm, causing Xu Yi to also cry out.

Lu Ke sprinted over, stepped onto the beast’s back, leaped up, and thrust her dagger directly into the beast’s back neck.

The giant beast lost its balance, crashing heavily to the ground.

Lu Ke landed back on the ground, withdrew her dagger, and rushed to Xu Yi’s side.

“Xu Yi.” She supported Xu Yi and moved him to the side.

“How are you?” Lu Ke had seen Xu Yi bleeding from his back, knowing he was injured.

“It’s nothing, won’t die, ah…” Xu Yi gritted his teeth as the pain from his wound caused him to wince.

“Get down, let me check the wound.” Lu Ke spoke to Xu Yi, and they moved about seven or eight meters from the Fierce Beast, which should be relatively safe.

After all, missing a limb and a leg, and having had its back neck stabbed by Lu Ke and slashed open.

Xu Yi painstakingly lay down, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

Not only was his back hurting, but his palm hurt too.

He didn’t expect that the machete would still want to draw his blood now, and it wouldn’t let go.

Lu Ke lifted Xu Yi’s shirt and saw four wounds.

The wounds weren’t very deep, less than one centimeter.

However, the flesh was completely gone, the width was nearly half a centimeter, the longest was seven or eight centimeters, the shortest was also four or five centimeters.

“Is there any bone damage?” Lu Ke was worried about Xu Yi’s bones being injured, given the Fierce Beast’s power was terrifying, able to directly tear a Raccoon Monkey into two halves.

“Shouldn’t be, it just pushed, not a hit.” Xu Yi replied, feeling much better about his lower back now compared to initially.

“That’s good. There are four claw marks on your waist, all the flesh on top is scraped off. At least they aren’t deep, not over 1 centimeter.” Lu Ke said, sympathetically, knowing the situation couldn’t be sewn together.

“That’s good, once the bleeding stops, it won’t be a big issue. Spray some pain relief, we must leave quickly, otherwise if other beasts gather, we won’t be able to leave.” Xu Yi initially thought the cuts were deep, needing stitches. Thankfully, it wasn’t that serious, he was rather lucky.
