227 Besieging and Delaying
Zhou Mingrui took a deep breath when he saw this scene of despair. Then, he began to mobilize the energy in his body.
The energy quickly gathered in his legs. Under Zhou Mingrui’s control, they transformed into a spring-like structure. He stood up and tested his jumping ability. It was not bad.
There was no panic on his face. He had already expected to be surrounded, so he was mentally prepared for it.
Sometimes, Zhou Mingrui really wondered if he was influenced by the company he had. The way he did things was becoming more and more like Yan Wuyue’s style.
And his plan to escape the encirclement was to leave the shadow leopards at a place where they couldn’t catch up.
The shadow leopards weren’t in a hurry. Since they had already locked onto their target, they began to slowly shrink the encirclement.
On the other hand, Zhou Mingrui was not in a hurry. He stood quietly on the spot. As for the shadow leopards, they thought that there was an ambush when they saw this. They immediately became more careful.
He was going to drag out the time anyway, and even if it was dragging out for a minute, it would be beneficial for him.
The five level 5 shadow leopards now had increased to ten. They surrounded Zhou Mingrui from different directions, completely sealing off any escape routes he could take.
It has to be said that the shadow leopards were the smartest monster clan that Zhou Mingrui had ever seen. They also had the best teamwork.
He had killed dozens of shadow leopards before, and he had already formed a deadly feud with the other party’s race. There was no room for reconciliation.
Finally, a large number of low-level shadow leopards and level 5 shadow leopards had already reduced the encirclement to a 3m radius.
Looking at the shadow leopards in close proximity, Zhou Mingrui revealed a smile.
This immediately caused the more intelligent level 5 shadow leopards to feel apprehensive. Why didn’t they run away or show any signs of fear in this situation?
Could it be a trap?
As a result, with a series of roars, the low-level shadow leopards immediately rushed forward.
Since there was a trap, he would use the lives of his subordinates to make up for it. Anyway, there were low-level shadow leopards.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Mingrui no longer had any intention of delaying. He gathered energy in his legs and leaped into the air.
With the help of his compressed energy and strength, Zhou Mingrui shot into the air like a rocket. Soon, he was more than twenty meters in the air.
At this time, he had used up all his strength and began to fall under the gravitational force.
However, as the energy on Zhou Mingrui’s body flickered and condensed, a huge pair of wings formed behind him. Then, with the help of the air current in the sky, he immediately lifted his body and flew forward.
Whoo!
Zhou Mingrui could feel the air currents around him high up in the sky. He was able to constantly glide in the air with the gigantic wings condensed from the energy behind his back.
“It’s time to get a flying mount. It’ll be much easier if I have one now.”
As Zhou Mingrui observed the situation in the dense forest below, he sighed inwardly.
Even under the cover of a large number of trees, Zhou Mingrui could still see a large number of shadow leopards chasing after him on the ground.
He had no choice. After all, there were no obstacles in the air that could be seen clearly. Zhou Mingrui could not hide even if he wanted to.
However, no matter what, it was still better than being surrounded on the ground. That would really be a siege to death.
However, even though he could fly high in the sky, Zhou Mingrui did not let his guard down. This was because this was a monster gathering ground. There were flying monsters everywhere.
As a result, almost half of his attention was focused on the surrounding sky, on the flying monsters that could appear at any time.
Thankfully, Zhou Mingrui’s current mission was to stall for time. He did not need to do anything else. Otherwise, it would really be hard to say.
Moreover, gliding didn’t mean that one could fly all the time. One had to rely on the airflow to lift them up, and once the airflow was unstable, they would fall directly.
“Wuyue, you must be fast, or I’ll have a hard time.” Zhou Mingrui could only pray in his heart.
If he hadn’t prepared in advance and practiced this set of combos many times, he probably wouldn’t know what to do.
Following that, Zhou Mingrui tried his best to glide in the air. Thankfully, he seemed to be quite talented in this area as he did not fly straight to the ground.
However, the time he could delay was ultimately limited. In the end, Zhou Mingrui helplessly landed on the ground.
As for the shadow leopards that had been waiting for him, they pounced on him immediately. They did not give Zhou Mingrui any space to jump and leave.
Thankfully, these were all low-level shadow leopards. Zhou Mingrui relied on his energy saber and shield to constantly defend and counterattack.
This also allowed Zhou Mingrui to perfect his experience of being surrounded. At the same time, even if his body was accidentally attacked, he could use his energy to recover.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Mingrui’s close combat proficiency was constantly improving.
However, less than ten minutes later, the level 5 shadow leopards seemed to realize that Zhou Mingrui no longer had any trump cards. Hence, they immediately joined in the siege of the shadow leopards.
Zhou Mingrui, who had been on guard all this while, immediately sensed their participation. He could still hold on to level 3 and 4 shadow leopards by himself, but more than one level 5 shadow leopard was not something he could deal with at the moment.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Mingrui turned around and knocked away a few low-level shadow leopards. With a burst of strength in his legs, he escaped from the area that had been surrounded.
He jumped again and flew into the air with the glider.
However, this time, the level 5 shadow leopards immediately caught up, no longer being cautious. They knew that the human in front of them had no more trump cards.
With the speed of the level 5 shadow leopards, it was impossible for Zhou Mingrui to escape with his flying speed. This also meant that he would be surrounded and killed by the level 5 shadow leopards the moment he landed on the ground.
However, there was no other way. Zhou Mingrui had already done his best to drag this out.
He raised his hand to look at his watch. He had delayed the time by flying and fighting on the ground for more than two hours, but he still needed more than an hour to reach what Yan Wuyue had said.
But looking at the shadow leopards that were constantly chasing after him, Zhou Mingrui felt a slight headache. His trump card had already been seen through by the other party. All they wanted to do now was to keep chasing him and kill him the moment he landed!
“No, I can’t die. I don’t believe there’s no other way!” Zhou Mingrui looked at the increasing number of shadow leopards that were targeting him. He immediately gritted his teeth.
However, no matter how he thought about it, there was no way to solve this situation unless his ability and talent could be unsealed at this time.
Otherwise, this situation would really be a dead end.
In the end, before Zhou Mingrui could land on the ground, the level 5 shadow leopards had already formed an encirclement. At the same time, their mouths were still glowing with a bright light.
It was clear that they were preparing to launch an energy attack at the same time to blast Zhou Mingrui to death in midair.
