Chapter 929: Game of Life and Death
Just as the Reaper had said, the No. 1 brawny man did not notice Leaf.
In other words, all the red-eyed rat people fixed their murderous gazes on the strongest ones.
The strong wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h a few more fried mandrake fruits.
The weak used their eyes to communicate, wanting to join forces to deal with the strong.
Even if a few people could share a share of food, they would have a chance to live.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Leaf relied on his agility to easily sneak into the crowd.
At this time, someone finally discovered his existence.
He let out a shocked and angry roar.
These people were afraid of Leaf.
Of course, it wasn’t the fear of “encountering a beast”.
It was the fear of “stepping on dog sh*t.”
The people of Turan despised cowards the most.
They also thought that cowardice was a disease that was contagious.
The blood of cowards flowed in the bodies of the rat people.
It was just like how a bald person was particularly sensitive when others said “hair.”
The red-eyed rat people who yearned to become gladiators, even if they were consumables in the arena, to change their fates, also abhorred mixing with cowards like Leaf.
Not to mention, he had just cried out loud.
There were still traces of tears on his face.
Anyone who was touched by him would be unlucky for three days and three nights.
Immediately, a red-eyed rat person roared, raised his leg, and kicked Leaf in the waist.
A thought flashed through Leaf’s mind, and he pretended to be in a panic. He did not dodge and took the kick forcefully.
However, he used the shiny lines and arrowheads in his body to turn his flesh and blood into soft rubber. He negated most of the force and crashed into the depths of the crowd.
It was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves in a cesspool.
Leaf, who had fallen into the crowd, caused a huge mess.
No one wanted to touch this coward who could spread the plague.
He was not desperately pushing and trying to push others between Leaf and himself to act as a meat shield.
It was that he could not avoid it and was. .h.i.t by Leaf. He could only vent his anger by punching and kicking him.
The youth shrunk his head and did not say a word. He held the dirty water in his mouth tightly and endured countless punches and kicks that fell on him like a storm.
But his heart was clear. He thought of climbing onto the highest mandrake tree in the village when the storm came.
He wanted to walk on the violently shaking branches as if he were walking on flat ground.
The secret was to use one’s heart to sense the power coming from different directions, to make the blood and the storm fluctuate at the same rhythm, and to make the power become friends rather than enemies.
The youth seemed to be in a panic and ran in the direction of the strongest man.
Another person gave him a heavy kick behind him to help him speed up, and he staggered toward the strongest man.
The youth’s face was already bruised and swollen. He had lost his balance and was about to fall forward and crash into the number one brawny man’s hardest kneecap.
The number one brawny man frowned slightly. It was obvious that he did not expect such an incident to happen.
However, he did not take the youth seriously. He subconsciously raised his knee, wanting to smash the youth’s face full of mandrake flowers and send the youth flying.
“Now!”!
“Lord Reaper is right. Lure the enemy and make the attack you want!”!
“This is the rhythm I want!”
The stars in Leaf’s eyes flashed.
The legs hidden in the sewage instantly expanded.
The two calves exploded like ripe mandrake fruits.
An explosive power exploded.
His speed was pushed to the limit.
His right arm was like the ox-tail whip of a blood hoof warrior. He swung it fiercely, and during the process, it doubled in length, making the speed at the end of the arm extremely astonishing.
The eyes of the strongest man instantly froze.
He subconsciously raised his arm, which was thicker than Leaf’s thigh, to block.
But he did not expect Leaf’s arm to become so soft and boneless.
After being blocked, not only did he not stop his attack, but he used his elbow as a fulcrum to go around his back and stab at his liver region.
Swoosh!
The fangs hidden between Leaf’s fingers cut a b.l.o.o.d.y wound on the liver region of the strongest man.
By the standards of the Turan people, this was not a fatal injury.
However, the number one brawny man, who was still fierce just a moment ago, revealed an expression of extreme pain.
“Lord Reaper was right again. This part of this guy is especially afraid of pain!”
While Leaf was thinking, he curled up his body, hugged his head, and crashed into the arms of the number one brawny man from the right.
His right side was the number one brawny man’s left side.
The s.p.a.ce in the dungeon was not big to begin with.
The corner where Meng Chao and Leaf were at was the lowest, deepest, and darkest place. No rat subjects were willing to stay there, so they could steal some peace and quiet.
In the middle of the prison cell where the strongest man was, not only was the terrain the highest, it was also the cleanest and freshest, and most of the fried mandrake fruits that were thrown in would leak out from the middle.
Naturally, this place was filled with the strongest rat population.
Even if they were usually afraid of the strongest man’s ferocity, no one dared to stick close to him.
But when it came to fighting for the fried mandrake fruits, the red-eyed rat population who still had a fighting chance could not care so much.
Not to mention, the chaos that Leaf had created a wave of people among the red-eyed rat population. Many people wanted to fish in troubled waters and desperately squeezed to the center of the cell to try their luck.
The result was that the number one brawny man was crowded with people.
Caught off guard, it was difficult for him to turn around and use his exceptionally strong right arm and right shoulder to deal with the youth.
Moreover, there was no need for that.
A cruel smile appeared on the number one Brawny Man’s face.
In the past few days, he had already used his deformed and swollen right shoulder and right arm to kill a lot of blind guys.
This kid had also realized this, so he chose to launch an attack from his left side, right?
But this kid definitely wouldn’t have guessed that his left hand was even more terrifying than his right hand!
As the number one brawny man thought so, his entire left arm suddenly appeared and was covered with thick veins.
At the same time that his knuckles crackled, a segment of his knuckles protruded out, causing his left hand to become as terrifying as an eagle’s claw.
Not to mention, his fingernails grew longer in an instant, like blood-stained fangs.
His eyes were wide open as he roared. His killing intent erupted like magma as he raised his left arm high up and opened his five fingers like he was opening his b.l.o.o.d.y mouth. He attempted to ruthlessly claw down at the youth’s face, tearing apart the youth’s face and gouging out the youth’s eyeb.a.l.l.s, as the price for offending him.
Pu!
However, he did not expect that the youth would not be intimidated by his killing intent. Instead, he spat out a cloud of mist into his eyes.
If Leaf’s cheeks were bulging and he spat out dirty water, the number one brawny man would definitely be on guard.
However, he did not expect that the youth, who had been beaten and kicked for so long, would still have a mouthful of water in his mouth.
When the dirty water entered his eyes, he felt a burning pain.
He could not see the youth’s position clearly. The left arm of the number one brawny man, which was raised high, could not help but stop for a moment.
Then, he felt a piercing pain once again coming from the fatal wound under his left armpit, which had caused him to lie there for half a year.
It was like an ice pick following the old wound and stabbing into his heart.
The strength of the strongest man flowed out of the wound like a flood.
He screamed and curled up in pain.
His face was. .h.i.t by the youth’s knee again. It was as if he had been hit by an adult wild boar. He fell backward and spat out a few teeth.
When he opened his eyes again, he only saw the youth on top of him clenching his fists tightly and flashing fangs.
Despair and fear finally appeared in the eyes of the number one brawny man.
After all, he was only a rat citizen, and not a professional warrior who had gone through years of work-release training.
Even if he had once fought with totem beasts in the Deep Mountains and forests, he had not learned the ability to talk and laugh in the face of death.
The number one brawny man no longer had the slightest bit of ferocious awe.
He was just like those rat citizens who had been defeated by him, howling and trembling in fear.
His gaze made Leaf hesitate.
The same gaze had appeared on the faces of his mother, brother, uncle with missing front teeth, old fool, Anja, Tutu, and all the villagers.
Through the reflection in the eyes of the strongest man.
Leaf seemed to see himself as a fierce-looking Minotaur warrior with broken horns.
This appearance made him hesitate.
The fist with the fangs could not fall no matter what.
And it was this moment of hesitation that caused the situation to change 180 degrees.
The No. 1 brawny rat man let out a strange cry and suddenly flipped Leaf to the ground. He turned the tables and rode on Leaf.
After all, this was the youth’s first real battle.
No matter how hard Meng Chao taught him, it was impossible to turn him into a calm and accurate killing machine in an instant.
Leaf’s attack on the left armpit of the first was still too light and not accurate enough. He only used the intense pain to paralyze his opponent for a moment.
On the other hand, he was merciful and did not grasp the fleeting opportunity.
As a result, his efforts were all for naught. He was grabbed by the throat of the number one brawny man and pressed into the sewage, unable to breathe.
The situation took a turn for the worse.
Leaf was extremely vexed.
He struggled with all his might but to no avail. Instead, the other party smashed his face several times, causing him to be disoriented. He could only loosen his mouth and nose, allowing the large lump of polluted water to choke in.
The number one brawny man once again spread out his left hand’s five fingers.
The eagle-like claws flickered with a brutal cold light.
The youth’s brain, heart, and internal organs were all frozen by the cold of death.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
A thunderous explosion suddenly came from the top of the head of the strongest man.
Someone had punched the back of his head while he was furious and focused all his attention on the young man.
Crack! The sound of bones cracking came from the top of the head of the strongest man.
He screamed in pain and rolled to the side while holding his head. He even spat out the two fried mandrake fruits that he had stuffed into his mouth.
From the second to the fifth, and even the red-eyed rat people below the sixth, all of them swarmed up and pressed the strongest man firmly to the bottom.
They either punched and kicked, desperately venting their dissatisfaction that the strongest man had s.n.a.t.c.hed too many fried mandrake fruits two days ago…
Or they tore forcefully, trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the remaining two fried mandrake fruits from the hands of the strongest man who instinctively curled up.
But no one pounced on Leaf.
After all, the youngster didn’t have any fried mandrake fruits in his hands, so why would he pounce on him?
Leaf scrambled to get up from the dirty water.
He clutched his throat, which was torn by his skin and flesh, and took deep breaths with difficulty and pain.
When he finally caught his breath.
The brawny one had been completely drowned by the angry red-eyed rats.
Leaf looked at this scene in a daze.
It was as if she instantly understood many of the principles of the game.
“Lord Reaper guessed correctly again.”
The youth muttered to himself, his tone filled with reverence.
At this moment, Meng Chao’s image in the depths of the youth’s heart became incomparably tall and mysterious.
