In the blink of an eye, July comes. Although it is still in the rainy season, the frequency and amount of rain have reduced a lot. Now it rains twice a day: from dawn to noon, after dark until the early morning, usually in succession.
After two consecutive days of rain, it became clear during the day for two days, very regularly.
Although Kate was no match for Steven when she was sparring with him. Steven needed to lower his strength in order for the two of them to fight back and forth, but his progress in all aspects was still huge.
Fighting against masters will also greatly improve your own strength. On the other hand, Kate is also systematically training her strength, endurance, reflexes and agility.
According to his estimation, after this period of extreme training, his swordsmanship strength has far exceeded that of when he first arrived in the New World, and he can defeat the two of himself at that time.
The bow and arrow can hit 100 times from 60 meters away, and the moving target can hit more than 8 out of 10 shots. This is because of the limitations of the bow itself.
Of course, none of this can be compared with Steven. According to him, Steven is now a freak. His perception, strength and agility have exceeded human limits, and his reaction speed has reached the extreme.
And all this is still progressing rapidly. Steven himself has also discovered that as long as he concentrates a little, he can feel everything moving within a few dozen meters around him in detail, such as the wings of birds.
The sound of stirring up the air, the sound of guinea pigs running under the surface, and within a few meters he could hear the sound of flying mosquitoes and accurately locate the flight path of the mosquitoes.
Also in the dark, he could see human-sized objects dozens of meters away after concentrating. Steven felt that his perception seemed to have reached a certain critical point, but he did not know what would happen after breaking through this critical point.
What state and when will it break through?
This afternoon, the two of them were practicing swordsmanship in the yard. Steven lowered his swordsmanship and fought with Kate. He carefully controlled his strength and was fighting back and forth with Kate.
Suddenly Steven stopped. He made a silent gesture and whispered to Kate: "There is a herd of forest deer approaching here. We just don't have much meat in storage, so we can hunt one."
The two hurried back to the room to pick up their equipment, then came out and squatted quietly behind the fence. Steven noticed several deer slowly approaching a trap while grazing, and then one of the deer triggered the trap.
The deer was injured after the sound, but the trap failed to trap it. The deer were frightened and began to run away. Steven and Kate immediately jumped over the fence and chased the injured stag into the jungle.
The injured buck was not seriously injured. It turned a corner in front, broke away from the rear of the running deer, and ran eastward. The two men chased it closely. Based on their experience, they knew that the injured deer
No matter how far I can run, I will never run very far.
After chasing for a while, the two slowed down and let the deer go far ahead. They were not in a hurry at this time: the traces left by the buck when running were enough for the two of them to catch up with it sooner or later.
Following the blood stains left by the deer on the grass and the broken twigs of the shrubs, the two of them moved forward while paying attention to the movement around them, in case of a sudden attack by the beast.
The trace turned around not far away and headed towards the mountainous area in the south. The two looked at each other and Kate said softly: "It won't run very far anymore. It should stop near the mountainous area."
Steven nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace slightly and followed it towards the mountains.
Soon after, the two came to the junction of the rainforest and the mountain peaks. At this time, the stag's trail extended towards the valley between the two peaks, and the two followed the trail towards the valley.
After entering the valley a few hundred meters, they saw the deer lying on a grassland from a distance. There were no trees here, only grass and shrubs on the ground. The mountains on both sides began to become steeper here, and a cliff was formed in front of them.
canyon,
The rock walls in the canyon are covered with trees. The width of the canyon is only more than twenty meters. The deer was sitting on the grass more than ten meters outside the entrance of the canyon.
The two leaned down and approached gently, but without the cover of trees or tall shrubs, and with a breeze blowing from the direction of the rain forest, the deer quickly discovered them.
He stood up less than a hundred meters away from them and limped towards the canyon. The two hurriedly stood up and quickened their pace to catch up. By this time, the deer was already very slow, and they should be able to catch up with it without much effort.
.
When the two of them chased more than ten meters into the canyon and were less than 30 meters away from the deer, Steven suddenly stopped!
He stretched out his hand to stop Kate who was catching up from behind. Although Kate was a little surprised, she did not speak. He believed that Steven's keen sense must have sensed some danger.
Steven stood still, while Kate took two steps back. At this time, Steven had a strange feeling in his heart: it seemed that he was being pointed at the muzzle of a loaded flintlock gun.
It will be sprayed out and hit my head at any time, but there is no thrilling feeling of imminent death. I intuitively feel that I can dodge the bullet!
This feeling was very strange, it had never appeared before, and a realization immediately arose in his mind: This was locked by something dangerous!
Steven continued to stand still, slowly stretched out his right hand and pulled out the machete on his back, gently dropped the hunting bow with his left hand, and pulled out the hatchet from his waist.
Kate, who was a few meters behind, gently pulled out a poisonous arrow from the quiver on her back and put it on the bowstring. At this time, Steven felt that the feeling of being locked suddenly disappeared!
And almost at the same time, a long whip-like thing suddenly came out from the trees on the cliff on the upper right side of the deer in front! It came to the side of the deer in an instant, and then rolled up the deer.
With a whine, the 300-pound stag was rolled back onto the cliff!
Steven immediately turned sideways and slowly stepped back out of the canyon, and at the same time motioned for Kate to step back too!
But after only taking a few steps back, the feeling of being locked in just now came back!
Steven breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his body slightly, and said to Kate without looking back: "Kate! You stand back and prepare to attack with poisonous arrows!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow in the trees above the right front rolling toward Steven like lightning!
In an instant, the long black shadow was thrown in front of Steven!
At this moment, Steven felt that the world around him suddenly became extremely quiet! The black shadow in mid-air was almost frozen in his eyes!
It was a long body thicker than a human waist. One side was covered with scales like the back of a python. The black background was dotted with dark purple star-shaped markings. The other side had a brown surface densely covered with
There were big and small yellow suckers, and there was a sharp bone spur in the middle of each sucker. At this time, the side of the sucker with the bone spur was spinning towards his chest!
In a blink of an eye, you will be reeled in like that deer!
But Steven's agility at this time has already exceeded the limits of ordinary humans!
He squatted down and ducked his head to avoid the sweep of the whip-like body. He swung the machete from the front of his head to behind him! A long line was drawn on the suction cup of the monster's body.
The hole! Dark purple blood splashed out, and the monster's body struggled to free itself, then flew upwards. At the same time, it actually knocked away the poisonous arrow shot by Kate from behind!
