Chapter 13: Surprised, Aren't You?

"?????"

The Honkai beast, drenched in mineral water from the bottle, slowly turned its entire body and looked at a certain audacious man.

The lowest-level Honkai beasts had no thinking ability, and even their behavior patterns were simple. They followed higher-level Honkai beasts and either crushed everything that stood in their way or were crushed by their opponents.

However, even these low-level beings had the most basic survival instinct. Survival was the fundamental ability of living creatures, and in reality, the lower the creature's level, the higher its survival instinct.

Only creatures with a certain level of thinking ability could suppress their survival instincts with reason and do some incredible things.

Now, in the eyes of the Honkai beast, everything Lu Yu did was inconceivable.

A lone person appeared, seemingly no different from the humans it had just crushed. Yet, he dared to provoke it?!!

Clearly, it had never seen this human before. In other words, this human actually had a chance of surviving, but he willingly sought death?!

Fine!

Very good!!

Excellent!!!

The Honkai beast was saying that it had just eaten several people, so even though its stomach was full, it didn't mind eating one more.

This was like a bunny offering itself to feed a tiger—a rather entertaining play in the Honkai beast's perspective.

"Roar!!!!"

"Human, you have successfully caught my attention!" The Honkai beast let out a tremendous roar, turning its target from an ant to another ant. (TL/N: The Honkai beast wasn't really talking.)

[Warning, the host is engaging with a formidable enemy. According to comprehensive judgment, the host has only an 11.4514% probability of defeating the enemy!]

The three consecutive reminders, coupled with the Honkai beast's roar, made Lu Yu acutely aware of the gap between himself and the Honkai beast.

Damn it, Mad Dog System! Weren't you saying I had a 19% chance just now? Why did it drop to 11% now? And this number sounds pretty precise!

[The system is scanning the Honkai beast's state. Please wait. Scanning complete. The opponent is in an enraged state, and its combat power has slightly increased.]

What the hell? I angered it by throwing a bottle of mineral water at it?

"Splash~"

Boom!!!

The Honkai beast no longer pursued Lu Yu as it had before. Chasing was only for entertainment purposes, but its true combat mode involved leaping!

The gigantic creature plummeted from the sky towards Lu Yu.

"Dark Night's Journey!"

[Dark Night's Journey activated. The host's movement speed increases by 10% for 5 seconds. According to the host's physique, this skill can be used approximately 3 more times today.]

"If I knew, I wouldn't have exchanged for the Turtle Breathing technique!"

The Breath Concealment and Turtle Breathing techniques had almost no practical value in real combat. Lu Yu regretted a little. He knew he had a mix of chaotic and benevolent abilities, and he was bound to cause trouble when he came out. So why did he choose these two abilities?

"Roar!"

The leaping Honkai beast noticed Lu Yu's extraordinary ability. Was this human somewhat capable?

Seeing his agility and speed, plus his well-developed thighs, it seemed that he would make a great big bone soup!

Of course, the intellectually limited Honkai beast naturally didn't have such complex thoughts. However, Lu Yu successfully evading its attack did surprise it.

In this human's city, it was the first time it had seen someone dodge its attack.

"Roar! Ooh! Roar!"

The Honkai beast gathered its strength and prepared to jump again. This time, it had focused all its attention. It was going to smash this man into a meat patty!

"Okay, very good! Come, smash me here!" Lu Yu stood at a certain spot, taunting the Honkai beast with his bared teeth and wild gestures, appearing like a monkey trying to amuse others.

"Roar!!!"

The Honkai beast, ten meters in the air, smashed towards Lu Yu's location like a shooting star.

Boom!

At the moment the Honkai beast landed, the tremendous impact caused strong reactions in the surrounding soil. Countless yellow sand and mud splattered into the air.

Lu Yu's last position was inside a large circular pool under construction in the residential area. The pool had just been excavated, and cement, yellow mud, and sand were piled there.

The splashing sand and mud obscured the Honkai beast's vision, and the tremendous impact had buried it in the soil. Then, the Honkai beast saw a vague black shadow float past its eyes.

It had been toyed with by this human!

Roaring in indignation, several minutes later, the Honkai beast broke free from the restraints and gathered all its strength to leap out of the sand.

Damn human!

The Honkai beast dashed towards the direction where it had just seen the shadow at high speed. Today, it would definitely eat this human!

...

Three minutes later, less than half a meter away from the spot where the Honkai beast landed, a human hand stretched out from the sand.

"Haha, didn't expect that! I have the Turtle Breathing technique!"

(Update! Update!

Recommendations! Where are the recommendations? By the way, has anyone guessed what the black shadow the Honkai beast saw is?)
