CHAPTER 19
Rope binding
Although there was no time limit for hunting, there was only one Rank 5 beast.
Killing the fifth-order beast at the top of the mountain was the first prize.
This was a test of one's ability.
Qin Hao did not have much time left. He had to reach the peak before Zhuang Jiba and Zhuo Junchen. Along the way, he had to break through a large number of wild beasts.
Qin Hao's journey was smooth and unimpeded. Any wild beasts that didn't know what was going on were all killed by Qin Hao in one strike.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, they were already halfway up the mountain.
Roar!
At this moment, the ferocious roar of a tiger came from the front.
A three-meter-tall, incomparably majestic striped tiger blocked the way.
This was a ferocious tiger that possessed the strength of a Tier 3 martial artist. It was comparable to a Tier 3 martial artist of Body Tempering Realm.
However, everyone knew that wild beasts were naturally stronger than humans. Therefore, it was even more terrifying than a Body Tempering Stage Three cultivator.
"Scram!"
Qin Hao didn't waste any time. His speed didn't decrease at all as he rushed forward.
As he ran, his right hand stroked the Purple Meteorite Sword at his waist, and a cold light flashed.
Roar!
The striped tiger was infuriated by this provocation.
The three-meter-tall tiger stood upright, opened its bloody mouth, and slapped Qin Hao's head with its thick tiger paw.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
The weak young man dared to run against the giant tiger.
Phew …
The tiger paw landed heavily.
A streak of purple cold light flashed by.
The palm split open, blood spurted out, and a ferocious tiger head flew into the air.
Plop!
The Striped Tiger's majestic body fell to the ground, blood gushing out in a large area.
The eyes of the tiger head that had rolled far away were filled with fear, as if it had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.
"Can't even withstand a single blow!"
Qin Hao returned the Purple Meteorite Sword to its scabbard and ran without stopping.
The Striped Tiger was comparable to a Body Tempering Stage Three Yuan cultivator. Its tiger paws were incomparably hard.
In front of the Purple Meteorite Sword, it was cut open like tofu.
Qin Hao's sword moved unconventionally. After splitting open the tiger's paw, he directly cut off the tiger's head.
This was the power of having a sharp weapon.
However, the Purple Meteorite Sword had yet to display its true power.
It was still a very primitive sword that had not been carefully carved.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang …
A series of explosions came from afar, and the birds in the forest were frightened and fled into the sky.
Then, angry insults drifted into his ears.
Qin Hao smiled faintly. He knew that Zhuang Jiba and Zhuo Junchen had started fighting.
Let them bite each other. This was the result that Qin Hao wanted.
Only when the two megalomaniacs started fighting would he have enough time to kill the Rank 5 beast at the top of the mountain.
Zhuo Jun Chen wouldn't be able to last much longer under Zhuang Ji's eight hands.
"We have to lure the target here!"
Qin Hao looked around. Not far away, a few towering trees made his eyes light up.
These trees were different from the rest. They towered over the mountains like giants. They were at least two hundred years old and were incomparably sturdy.
This was exactly what Qin Hao needed the most.
In his previous life, other than alchemy, he was also proficient in all kinds of formations, weapon forging, and inscriptions.
Due to the lack of materials, Qin Hao only had time to find yak tendons, and it was thanks to Qin Laosi's help.
He wanted to use the sturdy old trees and the yak tendons to weave a simple array.
It was called … Rope Binding!
Rank 5 beasts had gained intelligence and were extremely strong. If he were to fight them head-on, he would have to pay a huge price.
Qin Hao wasn't that stupid. No matter what, he had to preserve some of his strength.
That was the only way to survive in this dangerous world.
Nodding his head, he headed straight for the old trees.
First, he had to use the terrain to activate the Rope Binding Formation and lure the Rank 5 beast over.
They were stunned!
A strong sense of danger made him stop in his tracks.
Shua!
Qin Hao pulled out the Purple Meteorite Sword and stared ahead cautiously.
He saw a large rat squatting under the tree. Its round belly was very fat, and its two sharp fangs looked particularly terrifying in the dark shade.
"Corpse Flash Rat!"
Qin Hao's body tensed up, and he was on high alert.
This wasn't an ordinary rat. It was a Rank 4 Corpse Flash Rat.
Not only was it fast, but its attack power was also very strong. To a certain extent, it was even more terrifying than a Rank 5 beast.
F * ck, I hit the jackpot!
Qin Hao cursed in his heart. How unlucky!
With his current strength, he was stronger than a Rank 4 Body Tempering Realm cultivator, but definitely not as strong as a Rank 5 Body Tempering Realm cultivator.
It wasn't easy to kill the Corpse Flash Rat in front of him.
More importantly, it would greatly consume Qin Hao's time.
Squeak!
Squeak! The Corpse Flash Rat seemed to have felt the threat from the human in front of it. It bared its fangs and used its claws to fling the soil under it. This was a sign that it was about to attack.
"Damn it …"
Xiao Han's lifelong happiness was in his hands, and the dignified Dendi was actually blocked by a stinky rat in front of him.
Qin Hao couldn't help but be enraged.
"Get lost …"
"Get lost …"
Get lost …
Get lost!
Qin Hao let out a thunderous roar. His roar was like a sound wave that reverberated back and forth in the forest like a dragon.
Squeak!
Squeak! The Corpse Flash Rat seemed to have been frightened by Qin Hao's roar. It shivered and disappeared from the spot.
Hu!
Qin Hao heaved a sigh of relief. His tense body relaxed and his clothes were soaked in sweat.
The Corpse Flash Rat was after all a rank 4 beast. It had gained some intelligence and knew that the human in front of it wasn't to be trifled with.
Just now, Qin Hao was in a fit of rage and unleashed the aura of an emperor.
With a roar, he was able to force the rank 4 beast to retreat.
This wasn't luck, but a manifestation of strength, an awe-inspiring awe!
"It's too late!"
Qin Hao didn't dare to delay. He quickly removed the yak tendon from his shoulder and shuttled back and forth between the ancient trees.
He first tied one tree and then another. The ropes intertwined back and forth. Looking from above, it looked like a hexagram.
Although Qin Hao didn't tie the ropes tightly, it was actually very loose.
However, one shouldn't underestimate this Rope Binding Formation. Once one of the strings was touched, the other strings hidden in the dark would wrap around the target like venomous snakes.
Once the target was wrapped, it would be stuck like a spider's web.
The yak was also a rank 5 beast. With its tendon, it could definitely trap the big guy in the mountain.
"Let's go!"
After setting up the Rope Binding Formation, Qin Hao used the Water Wind Steps and quickly ran to the top of the mountain.
He hoped that Zhuo Jun Chen wouldn't lose so quickly to Zhuang Jiba so that he could buy some time for Qin Hao.
Just as he was about to move —
In another part of the mountain forest!
Zhuo Jun Chen was lying on the ground, covered in blood. His Snow Silver Saber was also broken in two.
As for the Mountain Splitting Palm that he was so proud of …
There was a bloody hole in his palm. The hole was about the size of a thumb. It was pierced through by a finger!
Zhuo Jun Chen … was completely defeated!
"Damn it … Pei …"
Zhuang Jiba spat a mouthful of phlegm on Zhuo Jun Chen's face. That wasn't enough to vent his anger. He kicked Zhuo Jun Chen away.
He actually wanted to team up with that trash Qin Hao to trick me!
At this moment, Zhuang Jiba's situation wasn't looking good either.
His clothes were tattered, revealing two black palm prints. They were caused by Zhuo Jun Chen.
Moreover, his thigh had also been slashed and was bleeding profusely.
If it weren't for the fact that the machete in his hand was of a higher quality, it would've cut Zhuo Jun Chen's Snow Silver Saber in two.
He might've really fallen for the other party's trick.
Unfortunately, this Zhuo guy was still too inexperienced.
He had underestimated the power of the Heart Piercing Finger.
Although finger techniques were extremely difficult to cultivate, they were much easier than palm techniques and fist techniques.
In terms of power, they couldn't be compared.
