Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Ponzi was the strongest cultivator amongst them and he was only of the high stage of the wood rank.

Fighting against a green cored beast was the same thing as telling him to fight against a stone ranked cultivator.

In fact, it was even worse than that since it was generally known that a green cored beast could best a stone ranked cultivator.

In summary, it was practically suicide for any of them to stay and fight the Rabid big foot Rabbit.

Because of a little miscalculation with the group of rabbits they had targeted, they were currently running for their lives.

Every member of the party put much pressure and spiritual energy into their legs as they ran. At least most of them did.

Zi had the lowest cultivation and she was now lacking behind them, and the Rabid big foot rabbit was starting to catch up.

At this moment, Chiron carefully observed the expression and attitudes of everybody in this party.

The core of a person's nature was usually brought to life at the point of danger.

And just as Chiron had expected, some of them put their own lives first. But one, in particular, was a surprising exception. At least the display of self-worth and preservation was miles ahead of the others.

Zi's demise was near, but in this state, Chiron noticed Carla's expression and even read her body language.

The moment she stepped on the branch of the next tree, he could instantly tell that she wanted to give her self for Zi.

This was something he could not allow.

In her own right, Carla was not weak, but against the Rabid big foot rabbit, she was barely more than a chew toy.

She wanted to turn and help, but Chiron was by far faster.

He kicked against a tree and with a somersault backwards, he kicked Zi out of the way of the Rabid big foot rabbit. And just in time too.

A little half a second later and the sharp unforgiving jaws of the beast would have snapped shut with her immature frame in between its teeth.

Chiron had kicked Zi out of the way, but the problem was not over. Now, the Rabid big foot rabbit was left with a different target before its eyes.

This target was the one that had stolen its meal from its jaws.

As much as Chiron did not want to do it, he could feel that he might have to remove his sword and use his aura energy.

As the jaws of the beast drew closer to him, he stretched for Devil's Touch that was hanging at his back.

Chiron was not of the stone rank yet, but with the tricks he had, combined with the kind of aura he cultivated, he could very well hold his own against a green cored beast.

In fact, as the Rabid big foot rabbit approached, he could swear that cutting the beast into two was well within his ability.

However, that might expose his strength and that would disturb his future plans.

Plans could always be adjusted but his life was most important. Just when he had made up his mind to attack, he suddenly saw a few individuals hurry over the head of the rabid big foot Rabbit and past him.

All this happened within a second, but cultivators had sharp senses and even sharper reflexes.

He saw them clearly.

It was the same team of people that his part had a confrontation with at the Bureau for cultivators.

It was Jan Jan and his team.

As they passed, Chiron heard a strong growl that genuinely shook his soul.

It was so loud that he felt as if it had come from all angles.

What happened next was even faster.

A giant Ape bulldozered through the trees. Its arrival was announced with its opened mouth grabbing the Rabid big foot rabbit in its jaws, and biting fiercely.

Chiron landed on a nearby branch.

His eyes looked on in surprise as the giant Ape closed its jaws and jets of blood went out in all directions.

Everything had happened fast, and everybody had seen it.

"RUN!!!" Ponzi screamed at the top of his lungs.

This time around, Chiron could not be bothered with playing hero. He put a lot of Aura into his legs and like a spring, he shot into the forest.

After a few minutes of running, the party stopped to catch their breath.

By some unknown miracle, all of them had made it out alive and in one piece.

At least many of them thought it was a miracle, but Chiron thought otherwise.

"What was that thing!?" Carla asked as she rested on a nearby tree panting for breath.

"That was a Giant grey-horned Ape," Ponzi answered.

"Giant grey horned Ape!? Senior Ponzi! I thought those things only lived far up in the Chikit mountain?" She asked again.

Ponzi sat on the ground as he gasped for breath.

After catching his breath, he explained what happened.

For a while now, Jan Jan's party had been targeting the Giant grey horned Ape.

Jan Jan wanted to take the beast's horn for himself. The horn was a valuable ingredient for a concussion that could help him start breaking through the barrier of the stone rank.

However, the beast itself was a green cored beast, and even amongst green cored beasts, it was a very feared one.

Just the way it chomped on the Rabid big foot Rabbit, tearing it to pieces, was proof of its strength. But that was only a fraction of what it was truly capable of doing.

Even amongst beasts of the same rank, strength varied.

The Giant grey horned beast was literally a giant of about fifteen feet in height and had a mass width of eight feet wide.

Even other green cored beasts tried as much as possible to stay out of its way.

For weeks now, Jan Jan had been trying different tricks to get the horn. Even going as far as to lure it from its cave, but the anger of such a beast was not something he could handle.

There was even one time when one of them was unfortunate enough to have gotten his legs shaved off.

While Jan Jan and the rest of his team fled for their lives, they happened to see Ponzi's team running away from the Rabid big foot rabbit, and decided to cut through.

In order to transfer the aggression of the beast to Ponzi's team.

Luckily, the anger of the Giant grey horned Ape was pacified by the taste of the Rabid big foot rabbit, and Ponzi's team were able to get away safely.

They were all tired and lay around the ground trying to catch their breath.

This was especially true for Zi. She had been the person that was lacking behind because her cultivation rank was too low. She was almost made to be Rabbit food. If not for Chiron's timely save with that kick, she would have truly died.

Zi reached for her bag, but when she opened it, she discovered that all her water poach was empty. Somewhere in between the chase and Chiron giving her that kick caused her to crash hard against a tree and a hole was punctured into the poach.

She was so tired and thirsty.

Just then, her eyes caught sight of a lake not so far away. Immediately, she ran for it to have some water.

The rest were still talking about what just happened, and Luna and Duna were already swearing the brutality of their revenge.

However, Chiron was never a person trusting of people or even his environment. He did not like to be taken by surprise. And what had happened only moments ago was an example of what could happen when one was not alert of their environment.

As he sat, he already had a bit of his aura spread out to sense his environment.

He suddenly noticed Zi was gone.

Immediately, he looked in the direction she had headed to.

Chiron shook his head and even face palmed, "this girl really has a death warrant, right?"

Meanwhile, Zi was not the wiser about the incredible danger she was in.

She looked into the lake. It was clear, and the water was quite inviting.

However, the moment she dipped her hands in to fetch some water, she heard a sharp whistling of the wind beside her.

She had only barely turned her head to look when she saw a foot in her face.

Chiron gave her a resounding kick to her pretty face.

Like an arrow released from its string, she shot away from the Lake and into the party still talking amongst themselves.

Zi shooting into them like a rag doll took all of them by surprise, and it made Ponzi frown. He stood up to question what Chiron had just done.

However, he suddenly saw something rising from the lake behind Chiron.

They all saw the towering...
