Given the speed of those magpies, Zhou Tian had no chance to flee anyway, so whether he wanted to fight them or not wasn’t even an option. Since that was the case, Zhou Tian might as well consider how he could handle those magpies. If he could successfully capture those magpies in the end, although they didn’t have much meat, it would still be enough for him to have a fulfilling meal.
The change in his thinking was directly reflected in Zhou Tian’s actions at that moment.
Initially, Zhou Tian was determined to retreat, and although the group of magpies seemed harmless, he prepared to withdraw the moment he spotted them. However, upon realizing the extreme speed of the magpies and that there was no chance of escape, Zhou Tian instantly took new action.
Since there was no possibility of retreat, it meant that Zhou Tian had to fight the magpies at that time. If engaging in combat against the magpies, gaining some initial advantages, although not significantly effective, was still somewhat helpful to Zhou Tian who didn’t know his odds of winning at the time.
Thus, based on the situation at the time and having decided to combat the magpies, Zhou Tian’s actions were without any hesitation. He had just resolved to fight, and immediately, he launched an attack on the group of magpies.
As always, when facing an enemy whose details were unknown, Zhou Tian would certainly make some exploratory maneuvers at that time. After all, it was no longer the Main Plane where, due to his immortal body, he could rush headlong against any opponent regardless of their strength.
Even if he encountered opponents he could not handle, it was not important to Zhou Tian at the time because, with his immortal body, if the opponent could not kill him, even sustaining fatal injuries wouldn’t affect him at all.
But after arriving in this world, everything changed.
Since the power of the Human Emperor’s immortal body was greatly suppressed here, even though Zhou Tian was still immortal, if he sustained fatal injuries, there would still be certain risks. Even if he wouldn’t die, if the magpies were to consume him, even Zhou Tian’s immortal body, undiminished as it was, might not recover thereafter.
Therefore, based on the environment of this world, even without anyone advising him on what to do, Zhou Tian was still compelled to make such a change. Because for him at that time, he had to make that change; otherwise, if he really let those magpies kill and consume him by accident, it would be impossible for him not to die.
Engaging in combat with an opponent without understanding their ability was certainly risky. If everything went smoothly and his strength surpassed the opponent’s, then a direct forceful attack could indeed lead to victory. But if the enemy’s hidden trump card far surpassed yours, then a strong proactive attack would not only be ineffective but could instead directly become a death sentence for you at that time.
Therefore, not just Zhou Tian, but most beings who cherished their lives and lacked an immortal body, when encountering uncertain enemies, often opted for exploratory attacks at that time. Although these attacks often couldn’t harm the opponent, and might even expose some of their own abilities’ details, for their own safety, despite the significant drawbacks, such actions still frequently occurred everywhere.
At that moment, Zhou Tian thus made such a move.
No matter what, his own life was most important. To avoid starving, Zhou Tian could risk using himself as bait for Pan Shi to find, so in the case of not knowing the details of those magpies and to avoid danger, Zhou Tian naturally preferred to suffer some losses to first find out the details of the opponent.
Based on the situation at the time, Zhou Tian directly applied his time ability onto those magpies.
No matter how Zhou Tian’s situation was previously, upon arriving in this world, while the power of his time ability had been enhanced, it was still likely the least threatening ability he had against opponents. Because most living beings in this world had rule-based powers, no matter how potent Zhou Tian’s time ability was at that time, when it came to defeating the enemy, that ability was probably still less effective than other seemingly harmless techniques.
However, when used as a probing attack, Zhou Tian’s time ability became quite useful.
The primary reason why Zhou Tian’s time ability was so ineffective in this world was that most beings here possessed some rule-based powers. As a result, using rule abilities against rule abilities, Zhou Tian’s strong time ability couldn’t play a major role ultimately.
However, by taking advantage of that situation, using his time ability as a probe made it very easy for Zhou Tian to clarify the abilities of his opponents. freewёbnoνel.com
To counter Zhou Tian’s time ability, the magpies surely had to use their own rule abilities. And as they resisted Zhou Tian’s time ability, understanding their abilities’ details naturally became an incredibly simple task for him.
If he didn’t use his own rule abilities, Zhou Tian indeed had no way of knowing what kind of rule abilities those magpies cultivated. But once those magpies employed their abilities, all Zhou Tian needed to understand the details of their abilities was to pay attention to their powers.(To be continued.
