When Eren put down the corpse of the lurking monster, a few wisps of pure blood from the blood hymn also crossed into his body, replenishing his consumption for days. He used the river to shake off Catherine that day, but he only got a buffer of less than half a day. After leaving the river and resting for a while, Alan continued west into the forest. They were finally caught up by Catherine before dawn, and the two fought again. Seeing that there were traces of headhunter activity nearby, Alan simply lured Catherine to a smaller tribe of headhunters, so that she could take advantage of the chaos.

For the next few days, the two kept chasing, grappling, and separating. In the process, Alan always felt that Catherine's killing intent towards him was insufficient, and many times he always looked preoccupied. If it weren't for that, how could he have fled while fighting. If Catherine Ken had gone all out at the beginning, Alan would have been seriously injured by now, if not dead. And couldn't hide in a cave like this.,I also cooked a lurking monster casually.,And absorbed a little blood to replenish its own consumption.。

Looking back on the past few days, Alan feels that he has gained a lot. Catherine's fighting skills are so subtle that being able to use her as an opponent would be of great benefit to Eren himself. Through Guò, the major general of the Federation, Alan was able to experience the combat techniques of that level powerhouse for himself. Powerful enough to put pressure on Alan to hover on the line of life and death, but he didn't want to kill him. Such an experience is very rare.

It is necessary to know that martial arts are like knives, and it is not good for knives not to be sharpened, and the same is true of martial arts. Alan had Catherine's rare whetstone, and he had experienced it in the past few days, and his gains in the martial arts sword realm were as straight as a thousand miles a day. Now he didn't want to end this trial too soon, but hoped that Catherine would be entangled as long as possible.

Smeared his hand on the hymn of blood, bringing up the blood of the lurking monster. Alan used them on his cheeks, armpits, and chest. This is to disguise their scent, and for a period of time they will emit the scent of lurkers. It will make other lurkers mistakenly think that they are of the same kind, and it will also cause some low-level underground creatures to retreat, saving a little trouble. After doing this, Alan found a hidden place to sit down, took out the nutrients from his backpack, took a bite, and slowly chewed it and swallowed it.

The nutrients go down to the stomach, and the belly is like a fire. The various amino acids and proteins contained in the nutrients are released and converted into energy for Allen to absorb.

The body is gradually recovering.

According to the plan, Alan would stay here for five minutes and then continue moving. Catherine will soon find his hiding place and follow. Allen, who has earned a buffer time, will have a chance to meet her in close combat. After that, it was time to flee, swim, rest, and counterattack. He has repeated this exercise many times these days. Even when Catherine will appear, Alan can roughly predict it.

Between the fight and the flight, he has become familiar with Catherine's style of action.

But this time it seems to be an exception.

Only three minutes later, the sound of wind came from a deep underground passage ahead. It was the sound of objects moving at high speed, but the sound was low with the sound of wind and thunder. It wasn't like Catherine, and if it was her, the sound would be softer and longer. Alan frowned, if it wasn't Catherine, it was an underground creature. Not wanting to waste his energy on the natives of these planets, he shrank back, allowing himself to cling to the warm wall. He smelled of lurkers, and with the exception of a few exceptionally powerful species, other beings would bypass the scent of him.

Soon, a wall of darkness crashed out of the passage. Through the glow of some of the shimmering mysterium suits underground, Eren could see clearly that it was a lurking monster. It seemed to be being chased by something, and its speed did not decrease, and it rushed straight in the direction of Eren with its hands and feet like a gorilla.

This is the last thing Allen wants to see.

He didn't hesitate and immediately flashed out of his hiding place. With small steps, Allen's speed was surprisingly fast. And the figure is shaky, and there are blurry afterimages on the edges, making it difficult to predict his movements. In an instant, he crashed into the lurker's arms, and the hymn of blood buzzed in and out of the lurker. The last horizontal stroke ended the attack, and Eren flashed back like a tidal wave.

After exiting a few meters, he was determined. It was only at this time that the body of the lurking monster spurted blood like a fountain of blood and fell to the ground. Alan exhaled, finally not letting the guy scream. Otherwise, give it a high-frequency roar, and I'm afraid it will attract all the same kind of people around it. It's a pity that Alan hasn't completely relaxed, and the wind has picked up again. Three more lurkers emerged from several passages around the perimeter.

Looking at their panicked expressions, it is as if they have encountered a natural predator and are running away in a panic. But it was so coincidental that they all ran to where Alan was. At this time, in the depths of one of the passages on the left, there was a faint, but rather familiar aura of Allen.

Catherine!

Allen could only smile wryly, and the major general had obviously changed his tactics. No longer chasing Eren alone, but driving away underground creatures with his own powerful aura. Let them search and consume Alan's body. Alan was sure that there must have been creatures like lurkers or earth dragons scurrying around in the other cave passages. And if a creature in a certain direction suddenly dies, Catherine can easily lock on to Allen's location.

It's a simple, yet effective solution.

Knowing is knowing, Alan did not choose to flee. He put away his smile and stretched out his hand to catch it. An invisible force field drove the heavy knife of Blood Yin inserted in the back, and Blood Yin trembled slightly, jumping out of the ground and falling into Allen's hands. The moment he held the blood, Allen's momentum soared. As his back straightened, his aura became even more domineering, rushing towards the three-headed lurking monster like fire.

Taken by Allen's might, the body of the lurking monster was suffocated. The sharp black claws on their hands and feet slammed into the ground to stop their bodies. Alan had already raised the knife and flashed forward, and the blood and qi around the heavy knife were surging, like a burning dark red flame. As the knife momentum rolled towards the three-headed lurking monster, the blood disappeared, and the momentum of thousands of troops and horses suddenly appeared, which was in line with the characteristics of the heavy knife.

But when it was about to hit the first monster, the blood was extremely light and wiped between the throats of the lurking monsters, and it had already floated to the monster on the other side. Alan stepped on his nimble footsteps and passed by the three-headed lurker in an instant. He stood still, pointed his knife at the ground, and the three bat-like heads behind him flew up at the same time, and then the headless corpse spewed out a fountain of blood.

These lightning-fast knives are really the essence of Allen's gains in a few days. Catherine once pointed out that there is only deep instrumentality, and then forget the physical nature of weapons. When you are not restricted, you can attack as you like, and only then can you touch the door of the palace of combat skills, and you can be regarded as entering the hall. At this moment, it is still a little short of the realm described by Catherine, but it is much more refined than before.

Those knives were powerful, but they were as light as the wind and turned like lightning. With a bit of natural taste, it is no longer limited by the physical properties of heavy weapons. With the actual combat, it is impossible to prevent it. If it was in the past, Alan would have been able to kill these three monsters in an instant, but it would have been an extremely tragic ending, not as clean as now.

At the moment when the three lurking monsters were killed at the same time, the girl walking underground raised her little face. The black and gray ponytail floated lightly, and it was instantly straightened. Catherine had leaned forward, and the man flashed like an arrow from a string in the direction where the lurking monster aura had disappeared.

It took less than a minute to arrive at the scene of the battle when Catherine saw four lurking monsters lying on the ground. Her eyes flashed with a deep, gloomy light, and her gaze swept over the corpses. He stayed on the three headless corpses for only a moment, but he stayed on the first lurker that Eren had killed for a long time. Finally she walked over and reached down to the corpse's back.

She groped for the corpse of the lurking monster, and groups of images naturally appeared in her mind. In those images, Eren was approaching like a ghost, and he must have a weapon such as a short knife in his hand, otherwise the wound would not have been so thin. If it was blood, this knife would have poked a hole in the chest of the lurking monster. After the short knife entered the body, it first cut off the monster's spine and paralyzed its mobility. Then he went up, cut open the muscle nerve, and finally stabbed into the heart, ending the life of the monster.

The lurker's wounds were so smooth that both muscles and bones were effortlessly cut open by Alan like cheese. Compared to the three headless corpses on the ground, this corpse is more indicative of Allen's strength. A faint smile tugged at the corners of Catherine's mouth, and then she realized her gaffe and immediately pursed her lips again.

As early as the first shot, she found that she couldn't kill Allen. Otherwise, Alan would not have had a chance to escape by the river that night, which was unique to Catherine. And only she knew how determined she was to appear in the snow crystal mine before deciding to harvest Eren before that.

But even so, when she really faced Allen, she always hesitated when she could kill her, so she gave Allen the opportunity to escape again and again.

Catherine hadn't even cast a projection of the femme fatale, until now. Rather than chasing and killing, she felt like she was sharpening Ellen's combat skills. The corpse at his feet is proof of this, and the feeling is very strange and uncomfortable.

What exactly are you thinking? Catherine shook her head, killing Eren and taking the blood of the king snake was not her goal all along? But when this goal is close at hand, why can't you do it?

There was another voice in my heart that said, "Because if you kill him, there will be one less of your kind in this world." And yours is the only one of your kind?

Catherine struggled to get the voice out of her head, otherwise it would continue to linger and the scythe of death would dull it.

At this moment, the fluff on the back of Catherine's neck suddenly stood up. She looked at it, and in the deep eyes that wiped out everything, a little red and blood was growing!
