Chapter 452 - 149: [You’re Just an Insect]
Hmm, it’s almost time!
The kite-pulling tactic has basically worked, and it’s reached its end.
Farther ahead, the river will gradually narrow, and there will be terrain drops, and the river will split.
Chen Yan smiled and raised his handgun at the Monster Leader behind him.
This strange weapon, the Monster Leader had already been wary of it—on the way, several of his subordinates had already been lost because of it.
Seeing Chen Yan raise this strange weapon again, the Monster Leader immediately stopped, then swiftly sidestepped to dodge—a move the two warrior monsters beside him also made.
But Chen Yan sneered, tossed the gun aside, then drew a dagger and pried hard at the sole of his shoe.
Crack!
The blade of one shoe was pried off, then the other!
Chen Yan flipped and jumped up, laughed loudly, and sprinted madly, quickly leaving the ice and slipping into the woods on the right side.
At the same time, he deliberately threw the empty firearm fiercely at the Monster Leader.
The Monster Leader rushed to the edge of the forest, watching Chen Yan’s figure just ahead, but first bent over to pick up the handgun, looked at it, eyes filled with confusion, and then immediately shouted, "His arrows are gone!"
His eyes were full of rage and ferocity as he stepped into the forest and charged...
The three monsters ran swiftly through the forest! After all, being a race that lived here for years, their way of running through the woods was obviously more sophisticated than Chen Yan’s.
They knew how to dodge the trees, use the terrain here, maximize their speed, and conserve energy...
Soon, the distance between them was slowly closing...
But just when the Monster Leader ran past a big tree that Chen Yan had just passed...
Suddenly, with a booming sound, several tongues of fire burst out!
When Chen Yan ran past, he slapped a [Fiery Fire Talisman] on the tree, igniting it.
The jet of flames spat out, and the Monster Leader was instantly hit by a jet of fire!
When he left home today, he was only wearing a cloak—and during the pursuit, the cloak, which was in the way, had long since been thrown away.
At this moment, the Monster Leader was bare-chested in this severe cold, with his upper body skin exposed.
Although his muscles were very aesthetically pleasing, full of explosive strength.
But no matter how beautiful the muscles, they are ultimately not fireproof!
When hit by the jet of fire, the Monster Leader screamed in pain, his reaction not slow, as he immediately threw himself on the ground and rolled fast.
But the [Fiery Fire Talisman] was practically the otherworldly version of a gasoline bomb, using the Primordial Qi stored in the talisman as fuel!
The fire wouldn’t extinguish until the Primordial Qi was depleted!
At this point, being hit by the jet of fire, the Primordial Qi also adhered to the Monster Leader’s body. He rolled desperately, but the flames on his body only flickered, remaining unextinguished.
Gradually, his the pained cries grew louder, until he finally rolled into a mud pit nearby...
This bizarre forest was very strange, in such frigid weather, it refused to freeze!
Rolling several times in the mud pit, the flames on the Monster Leader gradually diminished.
By now, he had been burned beyond recognition, his originally robust body was now blackened, red, bloody, and charred in various places...
What made the Monster Leader almost grit his teeth to pieces was, as he struggled to climb out of the mud pit, he saw with his own eyes that the other two warriors who followed him were screaming in flames, one crashing directly into a tree, falling to the ground, engulfed by flames, burning more fiercely...
And the other, screaming, with flames all over, running further and further into the forest...
The intense pain tortured the Monster Leader, leaving no piece of skin intact, still emitting black smoke, even filling the air with the smell of roasted meat.
The Monster Leader looked up and saw the human he was chasing, turning around, holding a short knife, with a cold smile, slowly walking toward him one step at a time.
In an instant! An unprecedented emotion engulfed this Monster Leader!
For the first time in his life, he felt an emotion:
Fear!
Even though he was known for his bravery in the village, at this moment, truly facing despair and the imminent threat of death.
In an instant, this fear overwhelmed this "warrior" who usually prided himself on his bravery.
All that superiority, all that majesty, all that bravery, all that cruelty...
Turns out, it was really in the absence of true life-and-death danger!
He was already severely injured and unable to fight.
While his opponent... hadn’t even lost a single hair!!
I will die here!
I will die at the hands of this slave!!
As the thought emerged, all the Monster Leader’s courage finally vanished!
He suddenly leapt up from the ground, with his whole body scarred and bloody, shouted out loud, and turned to run towards the way he had come out of the forest...
For the first time in his life, he was afraid!
He fled!

Chen Yan watched as the Monster Leader staggered away in retreat, but his expression remained unchanged, not even quickening his pace, maintaining the same speed, following along.
