Doom Lord

Chapter 42- Snake from its hole





Cheng Yang wasn’t hidden, so it’s not surprising that he was easily found by this group of Bloodthirsty Jackals. Cheng Yang immediately began fleeing southward at flying speed, while continuously shooting at the Bloodthirsty Jackals chasing him.


After running close to a hundred meters, there are already more than 10 Bloodthirsty Jackals killed. The leader of this group of Bloodthirsty Jackals wasn’t the same as the Black Wolf he met yesterday, it didn’t let Cheng Yang continue such a massacre. Followed by a howl, the leader along with more than 10 Bloodthirsty Jackals rushed out from the group.


From the shape of the rushing Bloodthirsty Jackal’s bodies, he can inferred that there isn’t even a first-early order enchanted beast. In other words, it can be seen that this group of Bloodthirsty Jackals not only have a large number of first-early order enchanted beasts, but there is also a certain of amount of secondary leaders. These secondary leaders along with the head Bloodthirsty Jackal, constitute this entire monster community management system.


Cheng Yang carefully considered his next course of action. With all the leaders of this enchanted beasts herd rushing out, for him, there are advantages and disadvantages. As long as these Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leaders are destroyed, then those remaining aren’t worth worrying about, but the key is how to eliminate these guys. They are separated from the rest of the pack, so his advantages in speed undoubtedly weakened a lot. Although his speed is faster than them by two times, but that can be said to be his speed limit.


Whether it is before the arrival of the apocalypse, or after the apocalypse, human can only sustain the speed limit for a limited amount of time. Before the apocalypse, professionally trained athletes can adhere for almost three hundred to four hundred meters. After the apocalypse, special restrictions were placed, and how long humans are able to run at full speed became associated with the physical defense and physical damage. The average of the two properties allowed humans to run continuously at full speed for at least several minutes.


Enchanted beasts are a lot weaker in this regard, according to the different ethnic groups, this restriction may also be different, especially for dogs and wolves which have a particular advantage in this area. So in spite of Cheng Yang’s speed being two times faster than the Bloodthirsty Jackals, but regarding the real competition in speed, the gap between the two is not very big.


After weighing his options, Cheng Yang decided to attack the leader of the Bloodthirsty Jackals. If the leader caught up to him when his physical consumption is almost up, he probably won’t even have enough strength to deal with it.


To distinguish the leader from the group of Bloodthirsty Jackals isn’t easy, but it’s also not too difficult. According to their speed, the first-mid order secondary leaders should already be at full speed, while the first-late order leader is still running leisurely.


After he made up his mind, Cheng Yang immediately slowed down, while at the same time a magic missile directly hit the head of the Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leader.


The Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leader does have a bit of wisdom, after getting hit by two magic missiles, it slightly lowered its speed, and let a secondary leader rushed in front of it to wore off the attacks. The way this guy fought showed that it’s very experienced, often it can grasp the battle rhythm, and under the next several attacks, there would definitely be a secondary leader between him and the leader of the Bloodthirsty Jackals.


Cheng Yang is very annoyed by this matter, if he had mastered the higher-order apprentice skills, this situation would be relatively easy to deal with, but it’s obviously not within his control. In this regard, he can only take a step at a time, he first have to kill the first-late order enchanted beast before dealing with that matter.


Right now a first-mid order enchanted beast is really of no challenge to Cheng Yang, after two magic missiles are fired, it can easily resolved one. If this goes on, killing more than 10 first-mid order enchanted beasts doesn’t seem to be too difficult a task. But Cheng Yang’s heart always felt a sense of unease, he had a faint feeling that the Bloodthirsty Jackals shouldn’t be so easy to deal with.


The intense chase lasted for nearly a minute, secondary leaders died at the hands of Cheng Yang are more than five, there is only six remaining secondary leaders left.


At this time, the first-late order leader let out a howl, and a pale grey light appeared with the leader at the center, which then spread to the surrounding. Shortly thereafter, Cheng Yang saw the rest of the enchanted beasts had their eyes turned red.


What on Earth happened? Cheng Yang’s face distorted. Suddenly, he remembered a situation the military encountered in this channel.


Cheng Yang did not participate in that battle, but according to those who had participated in the battle, when humans was fighting the enchanted beast herds, their advantages were very obvious. Although there were two first-late order enchanted beasts within the herd, but humans have a large quantity of professions at the time, even if there were an extra two first-late order enchanted beasts, it’s not something they are not incapable of coping with.


However, when the battle was about to come to an end, a large group of first-mid order enchanted beasts got into a frenzy, and their damage were greatly increased. In a very short period of time, the human side suffered a great deal of damage. This resulted in a reduction in the number of human experts, which later increased the difficulty of attacking Luo Feng village.


Why did the enchanted beasts suddenly had a outbreak at the end? This mystery had always lingered in the minds of those that participated in the battle, a lot of people thought it might be a special ability of the enchanted beast in this particular channel. But Cheng Yang now know this is not the case, because this isn’t an ability given to the enchanted beast in the channel, but to the leader of the Bloodthirsty Jackals.


In the moment these memories flashed through Cheng Yang’s mind, the Bloodthirsty Jackals had unexpectedly accelerated at Cheng Yang.


Cheng Yang was surprised, what kind speed is this? All of a sudden the six secondary leaders of the first-mid order burst out a speed which reached first-late order. This was completely beyond common sense!


Now is not the time to hesitate, if these seven guys surround him, he would certainly be obliterated without a corpse. Cheng Yang immediately turned round and ran toward the distance. Now these guys speed is just a bit slower than his, if he doesn’t desperately run hard now, there may be no chance later.


Previously, Cheng Yang could attack once every three to four seconds, but now after the enchanted beasts sudden outbreak, it takes him about 15 seconds to have a chance to attack again. Furthermore, each time he stop to attack, it has to be done carefully, for fear of being surrounded.


There was a bit of good new for Cheng Yang, although these secondary leaders speed has been enhanced, their health are far from reaching the Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leader. After four attacks from Cheng Yang, he successfully kill two Bloodthirsty Jackals.


However, at this time Cheng Yang physical strength has declined sharply, if he continue to run, he can probably last for two minutes, but afterward his speed would be halved. For his current predicament, halving his speed is basically sentencing him to his death.


Cheng Yang have no thought of directly killing the Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leader, the other side showed shrewdness far beyond his imagination. Almost every attack unleashed, there would be a secondary leader in front of it, making his attempt to kill it unsuccessful.


A bright idea struck Cheng Yang’s mind, he can still use his old method. Immediately, Cheng Yang started looked around, and without hesitation he ran to a tree on the left, then with his body gathering all of his strength to his lower body, he leaped more than three meters high. Then he firmly grabbed hold of the trunk, and with his hands and feets he quickly climbed upward.


In less than two seconds, Cheng Yang climbed to a ten-meter high position, at this time the remaining five Bloodthirsty Jackals have rushed to the tree, and began the same action of leaping, ready to bite Cheng Yang. But they are, after all,not human beings, although there is a certain degree of intelligence, climbing trees is not something they can learn. After jumping three to four meters high, they finally exhaustively fell.


Cheng Yang take this opportunity to aimed directly at the Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leader, followed by a magic missile shooting off.


“Poof … …” in the face of such an attack from the Heaven, the Bloodthirsty Jackal’s leader couldn’t use its method to ward off the attack, which allowed the magic missile to accurately hit its target. The leader then issued an angry howl at Cheng Yang.


After these secondary leaders fell down from the tree, they seems to understand Cheng Yang is not within their reach, so instead they focus their target on the tree. Although the tree reached one meter in diameter, but such a thing didn’t let them hesitate to use their sharp teeth to bite at it.


The Bloodthirsty Jackal biting force is absolutely outrageous, soon sawdust began flying below. It was like five giant chisels that can at any time cut down the tree.
