Chapter 1364: Underestimating Ability

Chapter 1363 – Underestimating Ability

However, Lin Yi was also confident. As long as he killed the ancient beast, he would have no problem entering the tomb. Even if Elder Yu were to come back later, he wouldn’t catch up to Lin Yi. The tomb was heavily laced with traps, so it was not something that Elder Yu can charge in without a care.

“You want to get rid of me? It’s not that easy. Either we work together to kill this monster, or I’ll watch you kill him.” Elder Yu was not a fool. Elder Yu had the same thoughts as Lin Yi. If he left now, what would he do if he couldn’t find Lin Yi later on?

“How do you want to work together?” Lin Yi asked.

“You can be bait in front of the beast, and this old man can attack from behind!” Elder Yu said very simply.

“...” Lin Yi blushed a little for him. Can you be more shameless, Elder Yu? Let himself be cannon fodder, while he went for a sneak attack?

“How’s it? This old man’s idea is good, right?” Elder Yu’s skin had thickened a certain extent, and he didn’t feel anything wrong with what he suggested.

Even Old Hei thought this Elder Yu was a bit too overbearing, but Lin Yi nodded and agreed. “Okay, I’ll attract him in front, and then you go for a sneak attack!”

Lin Yi knows that it is unrealistic to let Elder Yu attract monsters. With Elder Yu’s character, it was absolutely impossible for him to do such dangerous things. As for sneak attacks, the danger was much less.

Elder Yu can confidently escape in front of the monster, and Lin Yi also has this confidence, so he was not afraid of what the monster will do to him.

After wrapping up their conversation, Lin Yi walked up to the monster, and Elder Yu carefully followed Lin Yi from behind, as if he would turn around and escape at any time.

Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian glanced at each other. Both of them didn’t move. Lin Yi didn’t let them two interfere. They maintained their current position because their help might interfere with Lin Yi’s plan. If they did step up to help, it would be the final countermeasure.

Lin Yi and Elder Yu got into place as they closed in on the monster. At this moment, the monster was concentrating on eating James’s body. Its’ mouth was full of meat and stained with blood; this was quite a traumatizing scene!

It was also Lin Yi’s first close observation of this monster!

The monster had a yellow mane that looked a bit like a gorilla, but it was a little different. Although it had furry limbs, it could walk on hind legs and eat food on the forelimbs, but it didn’t have a tail. From first glance, it was completely different from orangutans and monkeys. It resembled a little more like toads, with raised eyes, no nose, and pointed mouth. It is difficult to declare what this monster really was.

The monster apparently saw Lin Yi approaching. Perhaps he was a little curious. When others saw it, they would run away. Why would Lin Yi approach directly?

However, now that it was still enjoying meat, the monster was not in a hurry to attack Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi walked by the monster, the monster also only glanced back. When Lin Yi continued to march toward the front of the passage, the monster suddenly lost interest in James in its hand and reached for Lin Yi with its teeth!

This also indirectly proves Lin Yi’s theory. This was really a tomb guardian. When Lin Yi did not intend to continue to enter the tomb, it temporarily ignored Lin Yi. However, when Lin Yi continued to move forward, the monster attacked. It would even ignore its food and redirect its focus to attacking Lin Yi!

Lin Yi’s footwork was not worse than Elder Yu. How could it be caught by this monster? Although Lin Yi’s heart can already be certain that the strength of this monster is undoubtedly the peak of the late stage of Golden Class, he had a weird gut feeling that he was not able to overcome the opponent!

This peculiar feeling intensified when the monsters claw extended out toward him! Lin Yi didn’t receive the claw attack!

If he didn’t need to rely on Lin Yi’s guidance through the tomb, Elder Yu wouldn’t mind letting Lin Yi take more damage. That way, Lin Yi wouldn’t have enough strength left to fight for the condensing pill or the medical notes.

Elder Yi also knew that Old Hei and Yu Xiaoke would have difficulties throughout the tomb, so Lin Yi’s life was necessary.

“Whoa!” Lin Yi kept moving toward the passage, which triggered the monster even more. It was as if Lin Yi had stolen something from it, and now it was chasing after him.

Meanwhile, it’s back was wide open for Elder Yu, as it wasn’t even paying him any attention. Elder Yu chuckled. This monster had low IQ, why would it leave its back open for enemies to attack? Was it that hubris?

Elder Yu mustered up the strength to attack as it condenses energy in the fist. He focused on attacking from the back where the heart would be. He aimed and smashed his fist down while preparing for a one-hit kill.

Elder Yu didn’t want to drag this on for too long. It was going for a full-powered attack. He had the advantage in a preemptive strike. He might regret it if it ambushed him later on!

“Bang!”

The attack echoed. Elder Yi’s fist landed on the back of the monster; it was full strength attack of an early stage Earth class user. From his point of view, it was an absolute kill. How could a late stage Golden Class be able to withstand a full-strength attack? What logic would that be?

Even a peak late stage Golden class could not withstand the full strength of an early peak stage Earth Class. It would die without putting up a struggle.

The monster didn’t let Elder Yu feel good about the attack. In retaliation, the monster violently turned around and swung at Elder Yu. Getting caught off guard, Elder Yu was struck on the chest and sent flying off.

“Roar!”

The monster didn’t think that anyone would attack it head on. It was enraged! Its eyes turned red, and it forgot about Lin Yi. Instead, it charged at Elder Yu.

“What?” Elder Yu choked as he tried to catch his breath. He spat out fresh blood as his body ached with pain. There was a pain in his chest, as he wondered how could the beast still be alive and so full of vitality?

Without even thinking of anything else, the beast had changed target to focus on him! Elder Yu got up and started sprinting away. He was afraid that the beast would catch up.

Lin Yi frowned. The danger sense was correct. It wasn’t at the regular peak late stage Golden class anymore. These ancient spirit beasts can’t be compared by using human standards.

Although Elder Yu did not kill the monster, the full power attack of early stage Earth class is not a joke. By his estimate, there should be some degree of damage done to the monster. Otherwise, it would not be so enraged.

“Roar!” The monster smashed down again to the place where Elder Yu fell before, but Elder Yu narrowly escaped death and moved away first. The monster’s strike left an imprint on the thick stone wall!
