Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 54 Counterattack

Fang Ling would never have fallen for such a blatant, idiotic attack again, eight hundred years ago.

They quickly dodged and started running away.

The blood-red-eyed spirit beast looked like a dangerous creature, and sheep are known for their stubbornness; the combination was simply unthinkable.

You can't get points this way.

Fang Ling was running frantically when, after only a short distance, she was suddenly jolted by a loud noise behind her.

A hasty glance back revealed a chilling scene.

The one-eyed giant antelope was surrounded by a blood-red light, like a demon that had emerged from the depths of hell.

Clad in blood-red light, he effortlessly smashed the towering tree in two.

The sound of breaking was deafening and chilling.

"This attack power must belong to a thousand-year-old soul beast!"

It couldn't be ten thousand years; if it were, he would be dead by now.

Fang Ling's heart trembled, and she quickened her pace even more.

The man and the beast engaged in a chase in the primeval forest.

Fortunately, this sheep is strong in attack but not very agile in turning.

It took an hour, and he crashed through dozens of trees, before Fang Ling easily left him in the dust.

With the alarm bells still ringing in his mind, he trekked for a long time before finally resting on a tree.

The continuous high-intensity running had greatly depleted Fang Ling's physical strength, and she needed to rest properly.

Two more hours passed, and I thought I was safe.

Fang Ling just killed an attacking century-old soul beast and gained two points.

At this point, there are only eight points left to upgrade the Martial Soul.

Unexpectedly, the sheep came looking for them again.

Fang Ling ran away again, and the antelope continued to chase.

After a chase, he escaped again.

This time, learning from the previous experience, I ran even further to avoid being found.

However, it was only delayed by an hour more than the previous time.

For some inexplicable reason, the one-eyed giant antelope seemed determined to catch up, even after being left behind twice.

Fang Ling was so angry that he cursed under his breath.

You damned dead sheep, did I just glance at you by chance?

Even after being left behind twice, they still chased after me. What grudge do they hold against me that they want to kill me?

Despite cursing in his heart, he still chose to run away.

At the same time, we need to figure out how to get rid of this one-eyed giant antelope.

He did not plan to leave the Star Dou Great Forest until his Martial Soul reached Lv4.

But if you want to continue earning points, this sheep is getting in the way.

If attacked from both sides, we could very well be trapped here.

The Star Mole Transformation had already been activated, and Fang Ling observed the surrounding terrain as he ran.

Faced with a powerful and ferocious thousand-year-old soul beast whose single attack could break a towering tree, he, a mere level 21 Great Soul Master, certainly couldn't resort to brute force.

The best approach is to use advantageous terrain to block it.

Generally speaking, provoking the two beasts to fight is also a good option.

The one-eyed giant horned antelope looked rather foolish; if it headbutted someone, it would easily be seen as an intruder by other spirit beasts.

Fang Ling could then take advantage of the situation to profit from the situation.

But only a thousand-year-old soul beast would dare to retaliate.

Excluding the special case of the one-eyed giant horned antelope that wanders around aimlessly, most thousand-year-old soul beasts live in the areas inhabited by other thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Fang Ling was weak, and even an antelope chased him relentlessly.

If he were to go directly to the advanced area where the thousand-year-old soul beasts reside—an area that would be extremely dangerous for a novice like him—he would be in serious trouble.

That's too risky; we might as well keep running.

After going around in circles, we can only return to the old approach of utilizing the terrain.

It could be a swamp that could trap you, a crevice between rocks, a rushing river, or a vast lake...

Whichever he encounters, it will be the best opportunity for him to escape being hunted down.

"boom--!"

Another loud bang was heard.

The one-eyed antelope has once again knocked down an ancient tree.

Fang Ling remained calm and immediately began to focus his attention on finding suitable terrain for battle while dodging collisions.

The area is mostly forested, and given the climate, it's unlikely to be a swamp.

There was no loud sound of flowing water, nor was there a river.

We didn't see the lake.

Does that mean we have no choice but to find a suitable crevice in the rock?

Fang Ling scanned his surroundings.

The Starry Sky Forest is never short of stones, and there are plenty of gaps between them.

But finding a suitable one wasn't so easy. Half an hour passed, and he was still running, while the sheep was still chasing him.

Although somewhat tired, Fang Ling's eyes held an indescribable joy.

Finally found!

His gaze was fixed on a small stone mountain in the distance, with a crack running from top to bottom, which Fang Ling could easily hide inside.

The huge fist mark indicates that it was made by a punch!

Another Titan Ape?

That was the only thing Fang Ling could think of.

You really do run all over the forest!

He mentally scoffed, but according to his estimation, the solid mountain crevice would have no problem trapping the one-eyed giant antelope.

He glanced at the antelope's location and began to adjust his course.

There were no hundred-year-old soul beasts blocking the way.

The maddened aura of the thousand-year-old soul beast scared away everything that dared to cause trouble.

The plan was progressing smoothly, and Fang Ling slowed down a little and stood directly in front of the crevice.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it all depends on this one move.

The one-eyed giant antelope stared intently at Fang Ling with its blood-red pupils, fixated on this guy who dared to meet its gaze and provoke it.

It finally stopped!

The antelope was somewhat excited and slowed down, stopping on a thick tree root.

The hoof excitedly pawed at the ground.

Vibrant blood light burst forth from every part of his body.

Without the slightest hesitation, it charged straight at Fang Ling.

A huge, sharp horn, like a long firing pin, ripped through the air with a piercing whistling sound.

This time it took two steps back, even lunged forward briefly to accelerate, and then jumped up suddenly.

It flew up at incredible speed, shooting straight at Fang Ling like a cannonball.

Good antelope!

So easily you fell for their scheme?

Millennium-old soul beasts really lack intelligence!

Fang Ling was overjoyed. He immediately used his huge scythe to hook onto the crack above, and with a strong push from his arm, he quickly ran up the stone wall.

This is a crevice in the mountain, split in two by the blow of a powerful force.

His body allows him to move around inside, so once that one-eyed giant antelope crashes in, it won't be able to escape.

"boom--!"

"Meow—!"

First came a huge roar, followed by the screams of the one-eyed giant and the antelope.

It paid the price for its thoughtless behavior, getting stuck inside and unable to move.

The crimson glow on his body grew even stronger.

The enormous horn crashed against the mountain wall, seemingly trying to shatter the mountain itself.

But how could a mountain that only cracked open under the attack of a powerful force be of ordinary strength?

Every now and then, small stones would be pushed down, but he was still stuck tightly and unable to get out.

"Meow—!"

The one-eyed giant antelope's screams were particularly mournful.

Fang Ling used the pull of the sickle to fall a little further.

Using his newly acquired weakness detection expertise, he discovered the weak point in the antelope's soul power circulation.

It's both in front and behind.

Of course, you can't do it from the front.

Otherwise, if the antelope broke free and then used its meter-long horns to ram him, Fang Ling would be finished.

They nimbly moved to the rear and accurately locked onto the target's location.

In an instant, he leaped from the sky.

His figure shot out like an arrow, carrying the heavy eighty-pound scythe, drawing a sharp arc in the air.

The timely activation of the cursed blade added massive damage to this powerful downward slash.

The thick fur is of no use as long as it provides slight obstruction.

The antelope's body was split in two from the back!

Blood gushed out in torrents.

"Meow—!"

It let out a mournful wail before it died.

Fang Ling landed on the ground and quietly watched it die from blood loss.
