Chapter 1348: Chapter 507 Hunting Target_3
As a result, although the number of large-sized creatures was less than that of the ordinary living beings, due to their size, when Zhou Tian really focused on hunting those large creatures, he didn’t take much time to find another suitable target to attack.
To be honest, in the current world, although living beings of such large size were not abundant, there were definitely not few either. When Zhou Tian searched earnestly, it didn’t take him long to find a group. Just as some ordinary living beings were somewhat difficult to attack, at the moment due to some large creatures moving in families or even clans, facing several or even more than a dozen opponents no smaller than that dinosaur, Zhou Tian naturally didn’t dare hunt them.
Fortunately, although the large bodies of those creatures gave them significant strength, at the same time, it also made their hunting much more difficult. Considering the amount of food they needed to consume daily due to their size, without a stable source of food, how could they possibly support the food requirements of such a group of large creatures?
So, almost without any accident, based on the size of those large creatures, they were doomed to live solitarily rather than in bands—though not entirely non-existent. Thus, after searching for a while, Zhou Tian eventually found the right target to attack at that time.
The second target chosen for the attack resembled an elephant but was about twice the size of a regular elephant. Apart from its tail which had transformed into a snake’s tail, its appearance bore no difference from Earth’s elephants.
Given its size, the elephant could naturally not compare to that dinosaur. However, Zhou Tian was only preparing to hunt those large creatures, and this decision didn’t mean that he had to hunt targets not smaller than that dinosaur. Based on the size of the current elephant, Zhou Tian believed that once he killed it, its meat would be enough to sustain him for a few days.
Of course, at this current time, Zhou Tian had not yet taken down the opponent, so it was a bit too early to talk such a manner.
Moreover, although the body of that elephant was smaller than that of the dinosaur, this didn’t mean that the elephant’s strength would be weaker than the dinosaur’s.
In fact, size has never been a standard for measuring strength, although in the current world’s environment, size could, to some extent, demonstrate the strength of a creature. But if one were to measure a creature’s strength solely based on size, it would be difficult to ensure its accuracy.
So, although the size of that elephant was slightly smaller, this didn’t mean its strength was weaker than the dinosaur’s. In a real fight, the elephant might display much greater strength than the dinosaur.
Thus, although Zhou Tian had chosen that elephant as his attack target, he did not think he had any certain chance of victory. He had merely chosen such a target to enhance his own strength, and in making his move, Zhou Tian, with a cautious mindset, treated the elephant as if it were a more formidable presence than the dinosaur.
As a result, once he decided to make his move, Zhou Tian immediately opted for a stealthy approach.
For some unknown reason, as Zhou Tian approached, the elephant seemed to not notice him. Although he didn’t know why the opponent didn’t detect his approach, embracing the idea that this was an opportunity, Zhou Tian stealthily moved closer to the dinosaur and then suddenly burst forward, charging at the elephant.
Based on his experiences in the current world, Zhou Tian knew that his greatest advantage was his close combat ability.
So, regardless of the elephant’s strength, if Zhou Tian could get close enough, no matter how strong the opponent was, once he got close, even if its strength was really greater than the dinosaur’s, it would likely face defeat in his presence.
Was there anything wrong with Zhou Tian’s thoughts?
No, one could say that at that time, Zhou Tian’s thoughts were very accurate. Given the environmental conditions of the current world, when it comes to close combat ability, indeed, very few could match him. Thus, with Zhou Tian’s close combat skills, he believed that once he successfully closed the distance between them, relying on his own strength to take down the opponent would not likely be difficult.
Thus, with Zhou Tian’s close combat skills, if he really managed to get close to that elephant, regardless of the elephant’s strength at that time, solely in terms of close combat, it would be practically impossible for it to defeat Zhou Tian.
However, although there was nothing wrong with Zhou Tian’s idea from a certain perspective, if it really came down to close combat, the elephant would have no chance against him. But the problem now was that even if Zhou Tian’s close combat ability was stronger than the elephant’s, it didn’t mean that the elephant would just honestly engage in a close battle with him.
Furthermore...
Zhou Tian seemed not to have noticed that his ability to approach the elephant so easily was in itself an extremely abnormal phenomenon.
The world Zhou Tian was in was no safe domain. One could say that even with Zhou Tian’s strength, if he was careless, he could face death at any moment. freēwebnovel.com
And given that environment, no matter what kind of strength one had, if one was not vigilant, even the most powerful creatures would have difficulty surviving in that world at the time.
Thus, regardless of the actual strength of that elephant, just the fact that Zhou Tian could approach it so easily indicated that if Zhou Tian attempted to ambush the elephant, he was unlikely to gain any advantage.
