Chapter 1045 - The Tables Have Turned
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists, she was struggling internally. It was only then did she realized what Cole had meant when he said Chixuan’s life was connected to his.
Take the risk? Cole would be dead if she did not do anything.
But if the risk was Chixuan’s life…
Gu Mengmeng bid into her lower lip and eventually dashed out, grabbing Cole by the back of his neck and pulled him back, dodging the sharp claws aiming at Cole’s heart from another fifth-level black panther beast just in time.
Elvis only took half a second to rush to Gu Mengmeng’s side, kicked onto the arm of the black panther, which sent him flying to the side. His claws sank into the trunk of a nearby tree and the a huge piece of bark broke off with a crack.
The black panther was quick to react, he immediately pounced back and started fighting against Elvis.
On the other hand, Gu Mengmeng gripped onto Cole’s neck after pulling him back, pressing him onto the ground. She held back the strong urge to snap his neck, shot him a fierce stare, released him and went back into the fight.
Although both the black panther and the lion were not at the peak level, Elvis was at a disadvantage fighting against the two of them, with one excelling in agility and another in strength.
The moment Gu Mengmeng stood up, Cole had grabbed her wrist and pulled her inwards. Gu Mengmeng was not prepared and fell into Cole’s arms.
He was already injured and with Gu Mengmeng’s fall, he spit another mouthful of blood. Although he turned around immediately, a few drops of blood splattered onto Gu Mengmeng’s face.
“Cough cough… Cough…” The blood flew back into his vessels and Cole could not stop his cough.
But Gu Mengmeng could not be bothered with taking care of him, she wanted to break free from his grip to go and help Elvis, but Cole held on to her hand even when he was coughing, unwilling to let go.
“I see that you do not want to keep the last hand of yours, huh?!” With that, Gu Mengmeng raised her hand and was just about to break Cole’s other hand.
Still coughing, Cole frowned and shook his head. At that moment, there were many shadows leaping in from the surroundings.
Elvis was taken by surprise, he instinctively took a step backwards and blocked in front of Gu Mengmeng.
At the same time, the third-level beasts lying on the ground, the fifth-level ones struggling to support themselves and the two fifth-level beasts that were still fighting with Elvis moments back were instantly defeated. The third and fourth-level ones were bitten to death straight away, while the two fifth-level beasts were separated by a group of third and fourth-level beasts. The black panther was surrounded, unable to fight his way out no matter how much he bite and fight, while the lion was attacked by two fifth-level stray beasts…
The black panther wanted to release beast pressure on the third and fourth-level beasts to help the lion, but before he could do it, one of the stray beasts had bitten on the lion’s head and another on his spine, ribbing his head off his body.
The third and fourth-level beasts dispersed immediately, allowing for the two fifth-level stray beasts to pounce onto the black panther. It did not even matter how agile the black panther was, his chest was ripped open before he could even scream and his organs were spreading all over the ground.
Everything happened in less than ten seconds…
Gu Mengmeng looked at Cole whom was still gripping onto her wrists. His cough was gradually subsiding, but his breathing was still difficult. The smile on his face had the look of ‘just like this’, there were manipulations and some irony.
Oakley was defeated by the beast pressure at the start of the fight, yet he was the sole survivor in the sea of corpses here. Now, he was being half-carried-half-dragged by two stray beasts to where Cole was.
