Chapter 1367: 514
Zhou Tian originally planned to force the lion into the volcano by teaming up his duplicated Beastmen, considering the lion’s strength was not too strong and its forte was defense. However, when he actually created those duplicated Beastmen, the situation took an unexpected turn for Zhou Tian.
Because the lion had never encountered Zhou Tian’s ability before, it naturally mistook the duplicated Beastmen for living beings of this world. Given the number of duplicated Beastmen at the time, if each had one tenth of Zhou Tian’s strength, their combined power was already enough to pose a threat to the lion.
Consequently, seeing Zhou Tian produce those duplicated Beastmen and misidentifying them, the lion, believing it could not defeat so many opponents, didn’t even engage in combat, and immediately fled towards the volcano out of fear.
Thus, although the lion’s response was drastically different from what Zhou Tian had expected, regardless, the end result was still developing in the direction Zhou Tian had anticipated.
After the lion rushed into the volcano, Zhou Tian immediately withdrew all the duplicated Beastmen he had created.
Although he hadn’t initially planned it, witnessing the lion’s response allowed Zhou Tian to slowly grasp the mindset of the living beings in this world. Now, since the lion could be scared off by such a method, it naturally represented that, in the future, the same tactic could still frighten other living beings in this world.
Thus, before revealing his specific abilities, Zhou Tian knew it was better not to use the duplicated Beastmen again until a key moment. And now, with the lion having entered the volcano, Zhou Tian didn’t need so many tactics to clean up this strong opponent. Relying solely on his own strength, he could leverage the terrain of the volcano to kill the opponent.
As a result of this new discovery, Zhou Tian immediately withdrew all the duplicated Beastmen. And just as he did so, the lion charged towards him.
The lion had no knowledge of Zhou Tian’s actions and thought it was still threatened by a large number of living beings. In this situation, the lion’s only thought was to speed deeper into the volcano to escape the enemies outside, making Zhou Tian an obstruction to his escape at that moment.
Clearly, the lion also knew that with the current environment and Zhou Tian’s strength, he was not someone it could easily defeat. That’s why, at first, the lion hesitated for a long time before entering the volcano, fearful of engaging Zhou Tian in combat in such circumstances.
However, times change, and although the lion was aware of its predicament and initially feared fighting Zhou Tian in this environment, when it perceived the threat from those duplicated Beastmen to be greater than that from Zhou Tian, it no longer cared about the threat that Zhou Tian posed to it.
With wolves before and tigers behind, the lion felt that if it hesitated now, it would surely die on this volcano. At this moment, the lion’s only winning odds were probably to repel Zhou Tian and leap over him to cross the volcano.
Zhou Tian had withdrawn the duplicated Beastmen without the lion noticing, so the lion thought they hadn’t caught up with him. Therefore, given the circumstances, the lion had no choice but to desperately fight Zhou Tian, its strong opponent, for its survival. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Zhou Tian might not have been aware of what exactly was on the lion’s mind. However, under the circumstances, the lion’s reaction was indeed what Zhou Tian hoped to see. After all, if he were to fight the opponent outside with the lion’s strength, even if he could win, it would not be an easy battle for Zhou Tian. Being able to draw the enemy into combat in the volcano, a terrain advantageous to him, was definitely beneficial for Zhou Tian. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Therefore, upon seeing the lion’s performance, although Zhou Tian did not know what the opponent was thinking, knowing that the current situation was in his favor, he did not hesitate to engage in combat with the opponent then.
"Boom!"
With a planned attack enhanced by the power of Divine Weapons, Zhou Tian struck a blow on the lion, leaving an unsightly scar on its head governed by the Metal Rule. However, the lion, abandoning defense at that moment, endured Zhou Tian’s sword in exchange for landing a solid hit on Zhou Tian.
