Chapter 37 - Fighting Back With Courage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The chase did not last for only a short period of time.

As the vitality fruit in his mouth became smaller and smaller, Gray’s expression became more and more anxious.

There was no other way. In order to rush to the giant tree pit as fast as possible, Gray had to reduce the number of times he changed his sprinting angle in order to reduce the distance.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gray would not easily change his direction. This change made Gray’s escape instantly dangerous.

Of course, at the same time, the ancient elephant wasn’t having an easy time either. Its injuries got worse by leaps and bounds. Along the way, it had destroyed countless trees. Although it seemed very easy to use its huge body for this kind of crazy behavior, it was definitely not without wear and tear.

Gray still had vitality fruits that could be used to recover his strength and injuries. However, it could only let its blood and strength drain away bit by bit. The pain turned out to be more and more severe.

In addition, Gray had also stabbed his wound, which was already quite serious. It made its injury worse, and its left hind leg could no longer bear the load.

Now, the movement ability of the ancient elephant had also begun to drop significantly.

The next part of the journey could almost be considered a competition of willpower. Although Gray had the vitality fruit to recover his strength, he didn’t dare to use it recklessly. He only dared to take a small gulp of juice when his strength was about to be exhausted, and he maintained the state of having a small amount of juice in his mouth.

On the other hand, the ancient elephant had long since exhausted itself. At this moment, it allowed the anger to drive its body. It only relied on the breath in its heart to continue, unwilling to give up.

Finally, the exaggerated giant tree that had collapsed appeared before Gray’s eyes.

He realized that this long life-and-death race was about to come to an end!

Gray instantly felt as if his body was once again filled with strength, and he couldn’t help but increase the speed of his feet.

In contrast, the ancient elephant had no idea what was going on in front of it, what kind of fate it was going to face, and why the little fellow in front of it was speeding up. Maintaining its own pace, it was crushing everything around it.

…

“Bang!”

With another loud bang, the ancient elephant once again crashed into the trees blocking its way. However, this time, it was surprised to find that the obstacles in front of it were not crushed by it like the previous obstacles.

The ancient elephant was shocked. This was the first time it had encountered a tree that could withstand its impact.

It stopped in its tracks and could not help but carefully look at the large number of trees in front of it.

This was actually a giant tree that had already collapsed!

Its size and length were things that it had never seen before. Comparing its past experience, the ancient elephant suddenly felt that if this tree was still standing, then it would not have rushed towards it at all.

At this moment, the ancient elephant felt a little uneasy. Perhaps it was because of the intense exhaustion of its physical strength that made it extremely exhausted, or perhaps it was because it had chased after him for a long time without letting its anger dissipate completely. In short, at this moment, the ancient elephant’s consciousness suddenly regained a trace of clarity.

It looked around and was surprised to find that its surroundings had unknowingly been filled with such tall trees. Most of these trees had already collapsed, but they were lying on top of one another in a disorderly manner, which further restricted its movements.

The ancient elephant took a step back. It keenly sensed that something was wrong. The environment here did not seem to be very favorable for its ability to display its strength.

Not far away, Gray slowed down after sensing the loud noise. He looked back and found that the ancient elephant had actually stopped running, and had even started to retreat.

Could it be that this beast had sensed something!

Gray cursed inwardly. This was only near the entrance of the giant pit area. If he were to fight the elephant here, there would be plenty of room for it to move around. If he were to let it escape, then it would be even more difficult to lure it again!

What should he do?

Gray subconsciously looked at the machete in his hand.

This sharp tier 1 weapon still had a little bit of scarlet blood on the tip of the machete.

One more time!

Gray made up his mind.

He had already consumed so many vitality fruits and spent so much time. It was impossible for him to let this matter fall apart here.

He wanted to infuriate the ancient elephant again!

This was not some fantasy. In a short time, Gray also analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.

Although they hadn’t reached the best hunting area yet, it was obvious that he could already restrict the wild ancient elephant’s ability to move. In addition, the ancient elephant had been injured for so long, yet it was still maintaining a high-intensity dash forward, so its consumption was definitely not small. It wasn’t like he didn’t have a chance!

Thinking of this, Gray turned around and turned around. He swallowed the last bit of juice of the vitality fruit into his stomach. The juice of the vitality fruit turned into a warm current, instantly restoring a lot of his physical strength.

Although it was already impossible to return to his peak, this was still enough!

This time, his goal was not to kill his opponent, but to provoke it. In other words, as long as he could make the ancient elephant angry, even if the attack had no effect, he could still be considered to have achieved his goal!

Gray dragged his machete and rushed towards the ancient elephant. This time, his target was still the ancient elephant’s old injury. Because of the injury, its reaction speed was slow, and it was the easiest place to succeed.

The ancient elephant wanted to retreat, but in the end, it was surprised to find that the little guy it was chasing actually turned around and rushed towards it.

What was he trying to do?

The ancient elephant felt that something was wrong, but without giving the ancient elephant any more time to think, Gray’s attack arrived in front of it!

The two of them were originally in a chasing state, and the distance between them was extremely limited. Gray’s turn-around attack came suddenly, which caught the ancient elephant somewhat unprepared.

Realizing that its opponent was targeting its wound, the ancient elephant hurriedly wanted to retreat. In its panic, the ancient elephant actually used its left hind leg to exert force. Instantly, a burst of intense pain surged up from its left hind leg!

“Awoo!”

The wild elephant cried out in pain. Of course, Gray would not let go of such a good opportunity.

He had originally been worried that the wild elephant would dodge the attack, but he had not expected that the opportunity would come so suddenly.

Gray leaped up and held the machete upside down with both hands, hanging upside down above his head. When he jumped as high as possible, he slashed down with his machete!

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere!

“Awooooo!!!”

The roar of the elephant exploded once again, but this time, Gray, who was prepared, had already flipped over and barely dodged the elephant’s counterattack.

He rolled a few times on the ground in a sorry state to dissipate the force, and then immediately jumped up. After recognizing the direction, he rushed toward the giant tree pit without looking back!

Behind him, the crazy sound of running echoed once again.

Gray had already seen the figure of the giant tree..
