Beauty and the Bodyguard

A pair of cold, blood-red eyes, like copper bells, were staring at Lin Yi. His throat trembled slightly, letting out a low growl that made one's scalp go numb. His fangs were bared, and the smell of blood assaulted Lin Yi's nose.

From its appearance, it should be a mountain leopard. However, its body was several times larger than an ordinary mountain leopard. Its height alone was close to ten feet. At this time, it had just stuck its ferocious head in, and it had already blocked the entrance.

There was only one entrance in the tree hole, and Lin Yi couldn't even escape now. He was like a turtle in a jar, caught by the giant Panther.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't dare to turn around and use his skills to break the other parts. He was afraid that the monster would attack him!

It was clear that his previous speculation was not wrong at all. The entire tree hole was a living trap, and in a moment of carelessness, he had become the prey, the prey that was almost in the other party's mouth.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat when he sensed the aura. As expected, the Panther was a strong foundation Stage spirit beast!

In fact, if it wasn't for this level of vicious creature, it wouldn't have been able to block those people here. After all, those people could come to the back of the mountain, their strength should be at least at the Foundation Stage. Of course, the possibility of a Sky Class full master wasn't high, but it couldn't be completely ruled out.

However, Lin Yi was glad that although the Panther was a Foundation Stage spirit beast, its strength should still be around the early stages of the Foundation Stage. He wasn't completely helpless.

However, even if they were both in the early stage of the foundation building realm, there was still a huge gap between humans and these natural creatures that were born for fighting, especially since this was the home ground of the other party.

Facing a monster like this, even someone like Lin Yi, who'd fought his way up from the common world, didn't have much confidence in escaping.

While the giant mountain leopard was still looking at him, Lin Yi quietly put the Skybolt pig back into the Jade space. After all, the pig wasn't born to fight, and it was too weak-a single scratch from it would turn it into cannon fodder. Lin Yi was still counting on it to find the heart-devouring exquisite grass for him, and he couldn't bear the consequences.

Luckily, the Panther seemed to only care about Lin Yi-it didn't even bat an eye at Skybolt pig. Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh-this guy might be addicted to eating humans!

Roar!

The roar of the giant Panther became more and more intense. Starting from its huge and ferocious head, its entire body slowly stretched in. At the same time, extremely sharp black claws suddenly appeared on its thick feet. With a light swipe, it left several deep claw marks on the soles of its feet.

This scene was truly shocking.

The wood under his feet wasn't ordinary wood-Lin Yi had felt it before coming in, and it was extremely hard, almost as hard as a rock. The claws, on the other hand, could leave such deep marks-he'd be dismembered on the spot if he got scratched by it!

This was the advantage of a combat-type spirit beast. As a race that was born to fight, their entire body was filled with deadly weapons. Compared to them, humans were so weak that they could not even withstand a single blow. This was also the reason why it was difficult for human experts to fight against combat spirit beasts of the same level of strength.

Lin Yi looked around-the thought of backing away from the giant Panther's threat came to mind. Although the hole had been blocked by the other party, for an early Foundation Stage expert like him, it was not difficult to break a hole in this kind of tree hole and escape.

However, Lin Yi's own rationality crushed this seemingly more reliable and wise idea.

This was different from the giant python they'd encountered before-it was no weaker than the Panther, but its target was the black ape. It didn't have any designs on Lin Yi, and so he was able to escape unscathed.

In fact, if the Anaconda were to attack him right after, Lin Yi was confident that he could escape. After all, he had the lightning storm boots and butterfly microsteps, and he was confident that he wouldn't lose to the Anaconda in terms of speed.

However, the giant Panther was different. It was obvious that the Panther was much faster than the Python, especially in the dense forest. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the king of speed.

And so, even with the lightning storm boots and butterfly microstep, Lin Yi still didn't dare compete in speed.

After all, first of all, he might not be able to outrun this giant Panther. Second of all, the heavy rain outside had suppressed his visibility and perception to an extremely low level. If he did not handle it well, he might break into the territory of other powerful spirit beasts. If such a troublesome and vicious creature were to appear, then he would really be in danger today.

Compared to running away, if he turned around and faced them head-on, although it would seem foolish, it was actually a more reliable choice.

That's right, this was the opponent's home ground. That's right, this was a trap set by the other party, and there was no way to avoid it.

But to Lin Yi, it wasn't like he didn't have any advantages at all. The biggest advantage he could rely on right now was that the tree hole was big enough for a human, but it was too small for a ten-meter tall beast!

Most of the time, the strong and huge body of a beast could have a great advantage, but in some situations, it could be an out-and-out disadvantage.

The giant Panther might be fast and agile outside, but it wasn't as agile as he thought it would be inside the tree hole!

In a fight between Masters, a small opening could decide the outcome. This small advantage might not be enough to kill the giant Panther, but it gave Lin Yi a lot of room to unleash his potential.

It'd been a long time since he'd felt like he could die at any moment. He could see the danger in those cold eyes, but Lin Yi was ready to take the risk.

Roar!

The giant Panther pounced forward, and The Killing Game began.

In such a small tree hole, especially in such a rainy day, the moment the giant Panther moved, the strong smell of blood from its body would hit the nose, making it hard to breathe.

This guy, even the smell on his body could kill!

Lin Yi's heart tightened, and before he could do anything, the other's dangerous claws had already reached his chest. (To be continued.)
