Aiden turned around and shot forward like an arrow, running away as fast as he could, afraid that he would be a step too late.
"Hiss!"
The Frigid Blood Green Lizard pressed its body close to the ground and charged forward at lightning speed.
It was light and fast!
At that moment, it seemed to have teleported to a spot not even a foot behind Aiden, stuck its head out, and released a mouthful of cold air.
Aiden's heart pounded frantically as a cold sweat broke out all over his body. An icy chill seemed to invade his very core, causing his movements to slow and leaving him vulnerable.
He collapsed to the ground, quickly turning and clenching his fist. His expression was grave. He knew the situation had become critical. With no way to escape, he steeled himself for the impending battle.
Gathering every ounce of strength left in him, Aiden channeled it into his fist, ready to strike. However, he held back, waiting for the Frigid Blood Lizard to make the first move. He knew that if he attacked too soon, his strike might miss its target.
After all, the lizard's speed was too fast, making it hard to guard against.
The Frigid Blood Green Lizard was completely unaware of what Aiden had planned. It responded accordingly to what Aiden had thought for it to do. It immediately shot out like a convenient arrow, spitting out a cold mist as it assaulted Aiden.
Aiden resisted the cold mist that could paralyze his body and struck it with his fist with full force!
"Bang!"
Aiden's fist landed on the Frigid Blood Green Lizard's head and a huge force smashed into the lizard's skull.
However, Aiden's heart was unable to calm down because his fist landed on the Frigid Blood Green Lizard's hard skull, but the Frigid Blood Green Lizard did not seem to feel anything. Instead, it struck out like lightning, raising its head and slamming toward Aiden's chest, leaving a mark in an instant!
"Bam!"
The bones in Aiden's chest cracked with a "ka-cha" sound. His body flew backward and landed right where the brown-furred ape was fighting against the huge wolf.
Aiden immediately jumped up while enduring the pain. Seeing that someone had suddenly landed in front of them, the brown-furred ape and giant wolf stopped fighting and looked at Aiden with their cold eyes.
Aiden suddenly felt his scalp going numb and wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
At this time, the Frigid Blood Green Lizard behind him also rushed over aggressively, so two Third-tier and one Second-tier Star Beasts surrounded him from three different directions.
"God!"
Aiden was trembling and exclaiming in his heart.
Was there anything worse?
He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but who knew that he would fall into a perilous situation?
He gritted his teeth, not knowing what to do.
Is he going to die?
No, he can't die here!
Aiden shook his head, and a firm expression appeared on his face. He remembered what his mother told him before her death again. She wanted him to become strong, so strong that he would no longer have to be afraid of anyone. She told him that only strong people are qualified to live a carefree life, weak people are nothing more than garbage in a world where only strength matters.
Aiden clenched his fist as endless battle intent appeared in his eyes. He immediately decided what he had to do. He was determined to fight for his life. He was not going to go down so easily!
"Yaa!"
He raised his head to the sky and jumped, stepping on a big tree as he leaped into the air, continuously rushing upwards. In a flash, he summoned the runic sword from the spatial ring, and the battle officially began!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The Brown-furred Ape was nimble, it climbed among the trees quickly and chased after Aiden with all its might.
In a moment, Aiden had already escaped to the top of the tree. He immediately stood up and used his runic sword to stab towards the brown-furred ape.
"Roar! Roar!"
The brown-furred ape pounded its chest with all its might and quickly approached him. It was less than ten feet away!
At this moment, Aiden's attack finally came, wanting to pierce into the ape's strong chest.
"Weng!"
"Roar!"
The brown-furred Ape's body trembled, and its muscles moved up and down like waves. In an instant, it felt as if all of its internal organs were penetrated by something.
Aiden pulled out the sword and again pierced it into the ape's head. The second sword strike came too quickly, taking away its life completely.
"Bang!"
The brown-furred ape fell from the tree and landed on the ground, producing a loud sound that echoed in the area of a few hundred meters. Its eyes were still wide open as it stared at the sky in fright.
Just a moment ago, the brown-furred ape and the giant wolf were fighting against each other. When Aiden was discovered, they united and considered Aiden as their biggest enemy, wanting to kill him first.
Unfortunately, they never expected Aiden to have a runic sword with him.
"Hiss!"
After the ape was killed, the Frigid Blood Green Lizard made a strange hissing sound. At the same time, it spat out a large amount of cold mist. The mist quickly spread to the surroundings. The big trees were instantly covered in a thick layer of frost, and the giant wolf felt threatened, so it hid far away.
"Cough! Cough!"
Aiden did not dare land on the ground. He lay dormant on the tree trunk, not moving even a bit. At this moment, he covered his mouth and nose while pondering about what to do.
Aiden suddenly remembered that the sword in his hand had both ice and fire attributes. After all, the runic sword in his hand was made from the tendons and bones of the Fire Origin Beast!
He knew that the only way to get rid of the Frigid Blood Green Lizard was to kill it with his runic sword. So, he prepared himself and was ready to strike!
"Bang! Bang!"
However, before he could attack, the giant wolf that was hiding suddenly rushed out and attacked the tree he was on with its head. The tree swayed as if it was about to break, and Aiden couldn't stand still while maintaining his balance. He hurriedly jumped to another tree while he had still not lost his footing completely!
Aiden was surprised. He had underestimated the Star Beasts. Although this wolf was only a Third-tier Star Beast, it was intelligent and cunning. It showed Aiden as if it was afraid of Frigid Blood Green Lizard and hiding away first, only to ambush when he was not ready.
Aiden looked at the Giant Wolf that was also glaring at him. Before he could think of doing anything, he heard a hissing sound again.
Aiden was trapped in a dilemma. He did not know who to kill first.
But then again, there was no need for him to think too much. Frigid Blood Green Lizard was a powerful beast and very difficult to kill. As for the giant wolf, it was on the same level as that app.
Realizing that the Frigid Blood Green Lizard's terror is more than the giant wolf's, Aiden decided to first kill the Frigid Blood Green Lizard instead.
Jumping down from the tree toward the Frigid Blood Green Lizard, he forwarded his hand, stabbing down with his sword.
The Frigid Blood Green Lizard retreated several meters in an instant, as if it was fearful of the sword in Aiden's hand. In fact, it could feel that the fire attribute in the sword was something that could weaken him greatly!
The runes on the sword were special. When Aiden needs fire, it would produce fiery energy and when he needs ice, it would produce cold energy.
Currently, the sword was producing fiery energy and the Frigid Blood Green Lizard innately felt fear toward the sword.
Although Aiden's attack was missed, he was overjoyed when he saw how the lizard reacted to his attack.
The Frigid Blood Green Lizard was afraid of fire!
Thinking of this, Aiden took out a black ball from his spatial ring. This was the Explosive Ball that Lucas gave him. Actually, Lucas didn't tell Aiden about this. When he was giving Aiden a Spatial Ring filled with beast meat, he also stored a few Explosive Balls. He thought they might come in handy.
And he was proved right.
This was the weapon he needed in the current situation.
The Explosive Ball was a small, sphere-shaped device, designed to detonate upon contact with any solid surface with just a bit of force.
Determined, Aiden hurled the Explosive Ball toward the Frigid Blood Green Lizard with all his strength. Without wasting a second, he turned and sprinted, trying to put as much distance between himself and the Second-tier Beast as possible.
He knew all too well the danger of being caught in the blast, and the memory of the searing, unbearable pain from his last encounter was enough to fuel his desperate escape.
