Astral Cockroach

The battles of beasts are always close-quarters, bloody, and brutal.

Two clouded leopards, one on the left and one on the right, launched a frenzied siege against the black bear.

Felines are not only nimble and agile but also possess flexible and resilient bodies. The black bear repeatedly swatted away the attacking clouded leopard warriors, but these two fellows did not suffer any serious injuries that would cripple them.

Carelessly, the black bear's back was scratched with three bloody marks by the leopard claws.

The fierce battle came to a temporary halt, and both sides tacitly ceased to rest and recover the stamina they had depleted during the intense fight.

Spot observed the situation clearly and continued to lurk behind a bush on the hill, patiently waiting.

After resting for a good while.

"Roar!"

The black bear took the lead and let out an angry roar.

"Roar! Roar!"

The clouded leopard warriors refused to be outdone.

The roars were both a release of angry emotions, a threatening intimidation, and an invitation to battle.

They were clearly fighting over something important, willing to fight to the death.

The two clouded leopard warriors pounced on the black bear simultaneously, and a new round of fierce fighting erupted.

Spot set off at this moment, taking advantage of the three beasts' focus on the intense battle to quietly climb down the hill.

Halfway down, his mental power vaguely sensed a faint and hardly noticeable wave of primal energy hidden in the middle of the hill.

The unique aura of a primal energy plant!

Approaching to investigate, sure enough, it was a cypress tree, already past its growth stage but not yet a mature tree, only about 400cm tall, roughly three or four years old.

The branches were emerald green, and the trunk had brownish-red stripes like cracks, which identified it as a "cliff cypress" species. This type of tree was most abundant in the Cliff Cypress Mountains and was a common wild species. There were also many wild ones on some steep peaks on the Brocade Screen Mountains side.

Hanging on the tree were seven seeds, gleaming with a silvery light, about to ripen.

Spot quickly deduced a cause and effect: A certain cliff cypress gave birth to a God-given seed, which was found by the black bear, who then brought it to this small hill full of primal energy to sow and carefully nurture. After a few years, it finally grew and produced seeds.

God-given seeds that have not been nurtured by insect larvae will not give birth to tree spirits. The condensed seeds have a lower strengthening effect on primal energy creatures than God-given seeds nurtured by insect larvae, but they are definitely better than ordinary life seeds.

The aura released by the soon-to-be-ripe cliff cypress seeds attracted the two clouded leopard warriors, and thus the conflict before him arose.

"Clouded leopards are too aggressive. They don't play by the rules. They'll snatch anything good they see. Who knows, they might snatch something from me one day."

"Since I've run into this today, I can't let you live!"

Spot was reborn on this planet and received all kinds of care and attention from the elders of the tribe. He enjoyed his current comfortable and leisurely life, and the passionate heart of a human warrior gradually faded away.

The clouded leopard warriors made Spot feel a serious threat, and for the first time, that heart of killing alien races was awakened.

… …

This round of fierce fighting between the clouded leopards and the black bear was even more tragic.

The black bear was several times the size of the clouded leopards, and its individual combat strength was stronger than any of them. Its stout body was indeed slightly clumsy, but its bear paws were unusually flexible. Standing in place, it constantly twisted its body, repeatedly swatting away the clouded leopard warriors that pounced on it.

"Gurgle…"

The lame clouded leopard warrior was swatted away again, and strangely, an abnormal sound came from its throat.

The other clouded leopard warrior stopped its attack and stared intently, immediately letting out an angry roar.

Unbeknownst to when, a cockroach warrior with a jet-black body appeared on the battlefield, appearing where the lame clouded leopard warrior had fallen. Unexpectedly, the sharp tips of its forelegs pierced and cut its throat.

A fatal injury, blood gushing out, the lame clouded leopard warrior instantly lost its ability to resist, collapsing in a pool of blood, twitching on the verge of death.

The black bear stared blankly at Spot, who had suddenly appeared.

The clouded leopard warrior was the first to react, turning around and darting into the dense forest, fleeing swiftly.

The change came too suddenly. The black bear couldn't understand why the cockroach warrior would suddenly appear and even help it kill a powerful enemy. It remained stunned in place, at a loss.

Spot quickly flapped his wings and ascended into the air, flying low and roaring: "Chase, kill it!"

"Woo-awoo!"

The black bear roared angrily, took off at a run, and followed Spot in pursuit.

Spot's mental power firmly locked onto the fleeing clouded leopard warrior, flying in the air and guiding the black bear chasing on the ground.

The clouded leopard warrior was not facing this kind of pursuit for the first time. Experienced, agile, darting left and right, it ran specifically into dense forests, moving at super speed. Spot could barely keep up flying in the air.

The black bear couldn't do it. Its running speed was not slow, but unfortunately, its movements were clumsy. Every time it turned, it would be left behind some distance. After a few sharp turns, it was shaken off a long way.

Spot had to increase his flying altitude to guide the black bear.

… …

The chase continued until noon.

Passing through the hills, they entered a plain jungle.

Passing through the jungle, they entered a swampy depression.

The clouded leopard warrior began to feel anxious. The black cockroach warrior in the sky was too strange. Judging by its size, it was clearly just a weak intermediate warrior, but its flying speed was faster than a high-level warrior, much faster! Its soul was powerful, and its mental power was like a maggot clinging to a bone. No matter how it twisted and turned, it couldn't shake off the lock.

The black bear had been left far behind. Looking at the black speck speeding and flying in the distance, and then at the endless swamp in front of it, it hesitated: The mud in the swamp was a deadly trap for its heavy and clumsy body, and it dared not enter easily.

The swamp was full of various green grasses and withered yellow reeds. Spot could lock onto the clouded leopard's position with just his compound eye vision. Judging from the direction of its escape, this fellow was fleeing towards the Brocade River, planning to use the method of covering its scent by passing through the river water to escape the pursuit.

Spot was very curious how it could escape the pursuit with the dual lock of vision and mental power.

Spot was still very hesitant. The black bear was not going to catch up. He was just an L2 intermediate warrior. He had no chance of winning in a head-on fight with the clouded leopard warrior.

He definitely couldn't win in a fight.

Should he chase or not?

After speeding and flying for half a day, his body felt a little weak.

However, the clouded leopard warrior running on the ground showed no signs of exhaustion.

He probably couldn't win in a test of endurance.

"If I can't kill it today, I will definitely have to fight it in the future. I have to figure out how it escapes the pursuit."

Spot continued to chase.

All the way to the riverbank, the clouded leopard warrior jumped into the river without hesitation.

Spot stared intently and saw a string of bubbles emerge from the emerald green river water, and then the clouded leopard was gone.

Flying low, sticking to the river surface, he tried his best to release his mental power, condensing it into a beam and probing towards the bottom of the river. The river water was an obstacle, and he could only barely sense a mass of primal energy fluctuations.

As expected of a habitual offender who had escaped from the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe's pursuit several times, it was really cunning and had such a set of hard skills. It was actually going upstream!

Spot absorbed and fused a large amount of mental power spilled from the Overlord Realm metal core. Its quality far exceeded that of ordinary primal energy creatures. Its greatest characteristic was its detailed perception and strong penetrating power. If it were replaced by other high-level cockroach warriors, they would definitely only sigh at the river, at a loss. With habitual thinking, most would chase downstream along the river, and it would be difficult to think of looking upstream.

"So that's how it escapes the pursuit!"

"A feline that can swim and dive is really rare!"

"I'll see how long you can hold your breath."

Spot stuck to the river surface, flying unhurriedly, and continued to chase.
