Therefore, since he had already created the opportunity for victory himself, there was indeed no need for Zhou Tian to engage in a desperate fight with that dinosaur. Thus, although Zhou Tian had never intended to let the dinosaur leave alive, he was also not going to clash head-on with the beast. Given the environment at the time, Zhou Tian simply kept entangling with the dinosaur, ensuring that it could not harm him while he strove to keep the beast in place.
Given the situation back then, with nothing to limit Zhou Tian’s mobility, the dinosaur was virtually helpless against him. And judging by the circumstances, if nothing unexpected had occurred, naturally, the dinosaur would have been taken down by Zhou Tian using such methods. While Zhou Tian was clear about this, the dinosaur itself was also very aware of its predicament at the time.
If the dinosaur hadn’t been aware that without a change in its current situation it would eventually die at Zhou Tian’s hands, why else would it, after being injured by Zhou Tian, be so eager to fight to the death? That frenzied retaliation from the dinosaur was partly out of vengeance, and partly a desperate attempt to kill Zhou Tian so it could then address its own injuries.
Unfortunately for the dinosaur, its opponent, Zhou Tian, was far stronger than it had imagined. So, while the beast had wanted to kill Zhou Tian and then find a way to leave alive, it quickly found that without posing a threat to Zhou Tian who wouldn’t let it go, escaping alive wasn’t going to be easy.
Having made an effort, the dinosaur had considered killing Zhou Tian. But after toiling fruitlessly for so long, it reluctantly considered whether it should continue to tangle with him on the spot.
Undoubtedly, should the dinosaur attempt to flee, Zhou Tian would not let it go easily. And should Zhou Tian chase after it, the dinosaur knew that even if it wasn’t without a chance to escape, even if it successfully fled from Zhou Tian’s pursuit, it would sustain serious injuries in the process.
That’s precisely why, knowing very well that retreating would likely lead to severe damage, the dinosaur’s first thought wasn’t to flee but to continue trying to kill Zhou Tian. However, after its series of attacks failed to reach Zhou Tian, the dinosaur helplessly found that with Zhou Tian’s mobility, it seemed to have no chance of hitting him. Being unable to land a hit meant that, despite its strength, it could not threaten Zhou Tian. Continuing the battle would merely be a waste of time, and if it couldn’t quickly break free, it wouldn’t be long before it would forfeit its life. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
So, knowing that staying put was a dead end, even though escaping would likely result in heavy damage, the dinosaur still had to react that way under the lack of other choices.
After all, the living beings in this world only looked like beasts, but their intelligence was not much lower than that of ordinary creatures. Given its intelligence, the dinosaur knew to make the choice most beneficial to itself. Thus, upon realizing it was no match for Zhou Tian, it naturally made the decision to flee.
Once the decision was made in its heart, the dinosaur’s response was without any hesitation; almost as soon as the thought arose, it turned and dashed off in a certain direction.
Zhou Tian was not surprised by the dinosaur’s reaction and had long been prepared for such an eventuality. With preparation, the dinosaur’s chances of escaping from Zhou Tian’s grasp seemed unlikely from any angle.
In fact, as soon as the dinosaur began to run, it was immediately met with Zhou Tian’s attack.
Zhou Tian hadn’t engaged in a hard fight with the dinosaur; he was merely preparing to drag it to its death. From beginning to end, he never had any intention of letting the dinosaur off. So, when the dinosaur tried to escape, it was natural for Zhou Tian to seize the opportunity to attack.
The dinosaur was mentally prepared for Zhou Tian’s obstructive actions. However, even after being ready for whatever attacks might come and even deciding how to bear them, it still underestimated the threat Zhou Tian posed. Once Zhou Tian really took action, the outcome was drastically different from what the dinosaur anticipated.
In the dinosaur’s view, Zhou Tian’s initial ability to inflict heavy damage was due to his strength, but mainly because the beast wasn’t prepared for the assault. Otherwise, even if Zhou Tian was actually stronger, it would have been impossible for him to defeat the dinosaur so easily while it was on guard.
So, after making the necessary preparations, the dinosaur knew it might suffer a heavy blow while fleeing Zhou Tian. But it did not believe Zhou Tian could truly stop it. With that decision set, the dinosaur felt confident in its actions as it attempted to escape.
But alas...
Confidence is good, but it couldn’t bridge the gap in strength between them. With Zhou Tian’s strength far surpassing the dinosaur’s, no matter what preparations the beast made, given the unfavorable action, all those preparations could not save its life. (To be continued.
