After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess - Chapter 220 - 220 The Shadow Leopard King

Chapter 220 – 220 The Shadow Leopard King

220 The Shadow Leopard King

Seeing the hundreds of level 5 shadow leopards disappear in different directions, the Shadow Leopard King let out a breath of hot air, its bloodshot eyes scanning the area, its nose twitching.

Soon, it followed the smell and came to a place on the battlefield. It reached out a claw and pried away a dozen bodies piled on it.

The next moment, it stopped moving.

After the corpses were pried away, a spot on the ground caught its attention. It lowered its body and sniffed with its nose, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the Shadow Leopard King’s eyes.

“A trap. Human!” The Shadow Leopard King was actually speaking in human language.

At this moment, the gray-white fur on its body quickly began turning pure white, and an invisible whirlwind began to spin around it.

A wave of violent anger appeared on its body, but it quickly dissipated.

Then, it looked around, but it could not find the source of the smell.

Without any clues, it chose a direction based on its sixth sense, took a step, turned into a phantom, and disappeared.

And that direction happened to be the direction where Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue had left.

…

[Wuyue, why do I always have an ominous premonition?]

Zhou Mingrui suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Yan Wuyue with a strange expression while they were on their way.

After all, they were in a dense forest. In order not to attract the monsters by making any sounds, the two of them maintained a spiritual conversation.

Hearing this, Yan Wuyue’s footsteps also stopped. After a slight change in her expression, she sighed helplessly and said, [In that case, prepare for battle.]

[Huh?] Zhou Mingrui was puzzled.

[It’s fine if you didn’t say it. Once you say it, it basically means that something has happened. It’s nothing more than the other race discovering our traces and catching up.] Yan Wuyue’s expression also returned to normal.

[That’s not right. I saw that you basically cleared all traces when you left just now. I maintained my energy form for nearly two kilometers on the way here. You also cleared the footprints and covered the smell.] Zhou Mingrui analyzed.

[That’s true under normal circumstances, but it’s different under abnormal circumstances.] Yan Wuyue rubbed the space between her eyebrows and began to clean up the surrounding woods.

[What do you mean? Are you saying that it’s because of me?] Zhou Mingrui was speechless.

[It’s hard to explain. No one knows why. If you have time to complain, why don’t you come and help me as soon as possible? Organize a battlefield that is as advantageous to us as possible.] Yan Wuyue urged.

[Alright.] Zhou Mingrui quickly went over to help Yan Wuyue.

The two of them moved quickly and cleared out an empty area in a few minutes. However, they soon stopped.

A huge shadow leopard with black and white fur walked out of the dense forest in front of them.

Yan Wuyue’s expression changed the moment she saw the monster.

[What’s going on?] Zhou Mingrui naturally noticed Yan Wuyue’s expression.

[That’s the Shadow Leopard King, a high-rank level 6 monster. In a head-on battle, it’s on par with the level 6 regular leopard from before.]

Yan Wuyue continued seriously, [But in the dense forest environment of the west, the regular leopard is no match for the Shadow Leopard King. It will be killed.]

Zhou Mingrui took a deep breath when he heard that. He had personally experienced how difficult it was to defeat a level 6 regular leopard.

But his current situation didn’t allow him to deal with such an enemy at all, and Yan Wuyue’s current strength was probably not a match for it.

[Are you confident?] Zhou Mingrui looked at the Shadow Leopard King, who was slowly walking over and asked.

[I can’t say for sure. I’ve never fought with him before. If I give it my all, I might have a chance!] The power of Stars and Moon Energy in Yan Wuyue’s body quickly surged, and an energy armor with a pattern of ripples condensed promptly on her body.

[We can’t just run?] Zhou Mingrui felt that it would be too dangerous to make a move. This was a fake that was stronger than a regular leopard.

[If we were in the southern wasteland, we might still be able to do it. However, the Shadow Leopard King’s speed is extremely fast in the dense forest. We won’t be able to escape if we don’t kill it.] Yan Wuyue rejected the suggestion.

[Alright, let’s get started. I’ve been really unlucky recently.]

Zhou Mingrui was also helpless, but he still walked in front of Yan Wuyue and said, [I’ll hold it back while you wait for an opportunity to attack. But remember, if the situation doesn’t look good, you have to abandon me and leave.]

[Anyway, my current situation is the same. Even if I die and start over, I won’t lose much.]

Yan Wuyue didn’t say anything but nodded slightly. There was no need to say anything more at this time.

Zhou Mingrui began to congeal an extremely thick energy armor on his vital parts. At the same time, four shields constantly surrounded his body. At the same time, various energy items were rapidly congregating in his hands.

The Shadow Leopard King looked at the two humans in front of it. It was curious to see that they weren’t running away but was in a fighting stance.

Because it didn’t feel any dangerous aura from these two people, it didn’t even feel threatened, which made it curious whether these two humans killed its subordinates.

Seeing that the Shadow Leopard King did not launch an attack directly, Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue could only stay where they were and defend. After all, they were the weaker party now.

If they attacked rashly, the Shadow Leopard King would easily seize the opportunity, and there might be no chance of turning the tables.

“Humans, where are your companions?”

At this time, the Shadow Leopard King suddenly spoke in the human language.

Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui were both stunned. After exchanging a look, Yan Wuyue said, “First of all, we are the vanguard. The main force will arrive at any time from behind.”

The Shadow Leopard King paused for a moment as if it understood Yan Wuyue’s meaning. Then it asked, “Did you kill my men?”

“That’s right,” Yan Wuyue immediately said. “We killed your men. They wanted to eat me, so I naturally wouldn’t show mercy!”

Zhou Mingrui did not find it strange that Yan Wuyue would admit it. After all, anyone who was not stupid would know that they were the ones who did it.

No matter how well the traces were cleaned up, the Shadow Leopard King was able to track them down, which meant that they were the murderer. After all, they were the only humans in the area.

Now, no matter what the reason was for the Shadow Leopard King’s question, even if Yan Wuyue chose to deny it, it would be of no help to the current situation.

“Very good. In that case, you can die.” The Shadow Leopard King seemed to have confirmed something. Its eyes suddenly turned cold, and its tone was full of killing intent.

“As expected, what’s supposed to come will come.” Yan Wuyue took a deep breath and began to pour energy into her body.

The next moment, Zhou Mingrui, who had been standing in front of Yan Wuyue, disappeared in a flash.

Following that, a loud boom was heard as three large trees in the dense forest not far away were knocked down. Following that, Zhou Mingrui’s body fell onto the grass.
