The mutated bat flapped its fleshy wings, generating an extremely powerful gale that could sweep up giant trees and rocks and slice them into powder in an instant!
Lin Hao's expression changed drastically. In this fierce wind, he felt like a solitary boat in the sea, his entire body stinging as if he were about to be torn apart at any moment.
Fortunately, Lin Hao's physical strength was several times stronger than that of an ordinary martial artist; otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as those giant trees and rocks, being shredded to pieces.
The *Heavenly Gorge Divine Technique* naturally reached its peak, significantly enhancing his physical strength to resist this terrifying gale.
Behind him, the human-faced giant spider had a solemn expression. Its dull eyes slowly turned, and its gaze fell on the mutated bat in the air.
Clearly, this was the mutated bat's territory, and Lin Hao and the human-faced giant spider had intruded. How could the mutated bat let them off?
Whether wild beasts or ferocious beasts, their territorial awareness was very strong, especially for king-level ferocious beasts. They rarely left their territory, and if other ferocious beasts擅自 entered their territory, it would inevitably result in a bloody battle to the death!
*Whoosh!*
Suddenly, the gale rose, and the mutated bat dove toward the human-faced giant spider.
The human-faced giant spider did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Although it was a mid-rank elite ferocious beast, the mutated bat had already reached the king level, far surpassing it in strength.
*Pfft!*
*Pfft!*
*Pfft!*
The human-faced giant spider spat out a blood-colored spider web, which did not explode this time because the quantity was already sufficient. It was evident that the human-faced giant spider was very wary of the mutated bat and held nothing back.
The blood-colored spider web spread out densely in the air, forming several large spider webs. Before the mutated bat could escape, it was already trapped.
Seeing this, the human-faced giant spider let out a strange cry, licked its bright red tongue, and quickly moved its many legs toward the mutated bat falling from the air.
Throughout history, ferocious beasts have been different from each other. They have their own innate abilities, far surpassing humans.
Even among humans, there are those with extraordinary talents who can leap across realms to kill enemies. Ferocious beasts are even more formidable, with examples of ordinary ferocious beasts slaying mid-rank ferocious beasts.
Although there is a significant gap in strength between mid-rank elite ferocious beasts and king-level ferocious beasts, it is not impossible for them to engage in battle.
The human-faced spider had this thought. When it was about to enter the forest, it had already sensed the presence of a powerful ferocious beast, but it still pursued Lin Hao into the forest. The human-faced giant spider was well-prepared, so it was not caught off guard when the mutated bat attacked.
If the human-faced giant spider devoured the mutated bat, there was a high chance it would evolve again, perhaps growing wings to become a double-winged demon spider and advancing to the mid-rank king-level ferocious beast.
*Boom!*
A loud noise echoed as the mutated bat, entangled by many blood-colored spider webs, was unable to flap its wings and fell to the ground.
A large, deep crater was formed on the ground, with red dust and flying sand creating a mist.
At this moment, Lin Hao had no time to watch the battle between the two ferocious beasts. He immediately fled forward, hoping that the two ferocious beasts would fight fiercely and both perish.
Although it was a good idea, it was not reality.
What was reality?
Seeing Lin Hao fleeing forward, the human-faced giant spider would not let him get away so easily. Since it had the upper hand, it still had the leisure to pay attention to Lin Hao.
The human-faced giant spider spat out a spider web, blocking the path ahead.
Seeing no way forward, Lin Hao immediately drew his green light sword and used the power of the spirit body to perform a sword technique, slashing fiercely at the blood-colored spider web.
*Clang!*
The long sword struck the blood-colored spider web, producing a metallic sound and even sparks.
"Such a tough spider web..." Lin Hao took a half-step back, still not giving up, and slashed several more times.
The blood-colored spider web showed no damage, and Lin Hao was even pushed back several steps by the counterforce.
Lin Hao was not willing to give up and slashed many more times, but the blood-colored spider web had no weaknesses, and he could not cut it with his current strength.
In the end, Lin Hao gave up on the idea of destroying the spider web and was trapped there.
He thought of many ways, but none of them worked. With the two ferocious beasts behind him and the blood-colored spider web blocking his path, he had no way out.
Looking at the human-faced giant spider and the mutated bat, the two ferocious beasts were fighting fiercely, causing the surrounding ground to crack, and trees and rocks to be shattered by the aura, creating a chaotic scene.
The mutated bat, as a mid-rank king-level ferocious beast, was trapped by the spider web and could not free itself for a while. It had already sustained several bloody wounds, putting it at a disadvantage.
If it were not for the interference of the human-faced giant spider, the mutated bat could easily break free from the blood-colored spider web. However, it had to focus all its attention on the human-faced giant spider's attacks and could not escape for a while.
The human-faced giant spider's claws were extremely sharp, comparable to treasure weapons. Each time it swung, blood would be shed, all from the mutated bat.
The face of the mutated bat, resembling a wolf or a rat, was filled with anger. It forcefully pulled out one of its fleshy wings and slammed it down on the human-faced giant spider's head.
The sound of *boom* echoed like thunder, and the human-faced giant spider was hit by the fleshy wing, accompanied by a terrifying gale, causing it to fall to the ground and sustain some injuries.
"Roar!" The human-faced giant spider roared after getting up, opened its mouth, and bit into the mutated bat's wing.
The mutated bat roared in pain, its body wildly thrashing, and its powerful tail instantly struck the human-faced giant spider, leaving a noticeable blood trail.
However, although the human-faced giant spider was injured, the mutated bat's injuries were even more severe. If this continued, the mutated bat would likely fall here.
"Ah!" The human-faced giant spider let out a strange cry and bit into the mutated bat's neck, blood dripping to the ground.
...
At this moment, Lin Hao's thoughts raced. Soon after, he used his fingers to break the green light sword into three pieces, which he held in his palm like flying swords.
The power of the spirit body roared, and the broken sword responded with a special reaction, emitting a cold, sharp light.
Lin Hao held his breath and focused, then fiercely threw his right arm backward.
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh!*
The three pieces of the broken green light sword shot toward the human-faced giant spider from three directions, leaving blood lightning in their wake, moving at an extreme speed.
The human-faced giant spider was still engaged in a fierce battle with the mutated bat and had not taken Lin Hao seriously. After it blocked Lin Hao's path with the spider web, it thought Lin Hao had no way to escape and could only wait to become its meal.
However, when the three broken swords were close, the human-faced giant spider finally realized the danger, and its dull eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise.
The human-faced giant spider looked forward, and *pfft* *pfft*, two of the broken swords pierced its eyes, while the third, the sharpest part of the sword, stabbed into its left cheek.
"Roar! Roar!" The human-faced giant spider was caught off guard by Lin Hao's sneak attack. Its eyes were its weakest point and were easily pierced by the broken swords.
The last piece of the broken sword also left a bloody wound on the human-faced giant spider's left cheek, splattering blood.
It howled in pain and roared in anger, the sudden intense pain almost causing it to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the mutated bat's expression changed. It freed its right wing and fiercely flapped it at the human-faced giant spider, sending it flying a hundred meters away.
Without the threat of the human-faced giant spider, the mutated bat focused all its efforts on escaping the spider web. In just a few breaths, it broke free.
After breaking free, the mutated bat's strength greatly increased, and it went all out. The human-faced giant spider, heavily injured by Lin Hao's sneak attack, was no match for the mutated bat.
It frantically opened its mouth and sprayed spider webs everywhere, trying to trap the mutated bat in the spider web again.
Unfortunately, the mutated bat was now on guard and easily dodged the sticky spider webs, flying to the front of the human-faced giant spider. Its powerful tail fell from the sky, capable of shattering gold and silver.
*Boom!*
The tail landed, striking the human-faced giant spider's head with immense force, causing the ground several meters away to tremble.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The mutated bat's tail struck several more times, each more powerful than the last, reducing the human-faced giant spider's head to a mess, with red and white viscous liquid spraying everywhere.
Even after the human-faced giant spider was dead, the mutated bat was still not satisfied and struck it several more times until its face was completely unrecognizable.
Then, the mutated bat bent down, used its tail to wrap up the human-faced giant spider's corpse, and tore it apart with its mouth. In just a few minutes, it had devoured the entire human-faced giant spider.
Lin Hao stood quietly to the side, not making a sound or moving, just watching.
After the mutated bat had its fill, its belly was swollen like a large ball. It then turned to look at Lin Hao.
At this moment, Lin Hao's expression remained unchanged, relatively calm. He looked at the mutated bat and said, "I severely injured the human-faced giant spider that dared to challenge you, helping you. Do you want to eat me now?"
Hearing this, the mutated bat licked its lips, as if thinking about something.
Finally, the mutated bat shook its head, flapped its wings, and rose into the air. It glanced at Lin Hao and then flew away.
It was unclear whether the mutated bat understood Lin Hao's words and decided to let him go, or if it was simply too full and had no interest in Lin Hao.
Lin Hao watched the mutated bat leave, a slight smile on his face, knowing that the mutated bat understood human speech and would not harm him.
This was Lin Hao's plan, a gamble.
Ferocious beasts at the mid-rank level have just begun to develop intelligence and are very smart. The mutated bat was in a critical situation, and he assisted with a sneak attack.
Clearly, he had won the bet. The mutated bat did not harm him, perhaps because the small human was not worth mentioning to the mutated bat.
This trip to the Heavenly Gorge Mountains not only nearly cost him his life but also his green light sword. However, if he were to talk about the benefits, they were indeed significant. The life-or-death situation greatly enhanced Lin Hao's strength, bringing him close to the fifth level.
He tidied his clothes and was about to leave when the ground suddenly began to shake violently, as if a disaster had struck, causing a heart-stopping scene.
