Chapter 38: Things Are Different Now

Zhou Kai's words instantly made the atmosphere tense.

"Maybe it's a monster that's just about to go down the mountain, not necessarily chasing us." Lu Linhai frowned and said.

"Let's find a place to hide for a while, and then we'll come out after the monster leaves."

"It's too late." Zhou Kai's face was very ugly. He turned around and looked behind him, and then said, "This monster is very fast, and..."

"And what?" Lin Yi asked.

"And we all know this monster." Zhou Kai replied.

The moment the voice fell, there was a rustling sound in the distance.

Something was jumping on the tree, and the distance between it and Lin Yi and others was getting closer and closer.

With the moonlight in the sky, when they saw the figure clearly, Lin Yi and Lu Linhai couldn't help but stand there.

"Is that... Teacher Yao?!" Lu Linhai said subconsciously.

"What should we do now?" Zhou Kai's face was solemn, and he clenched the boning knife in his hand, "Do you want to fight?"

"You go, I'll stay and hold him back." Lu Linhai took a few steps forward.

"Maybe there are monsters following it, we can't leave them all here."

Looking at the approaching teacher Yao, Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something.

"We can fight." Lin Yi took a deep breath and calmed himself down quickly.

"These monsters are greedy by nature. When facing humans, if they can eat themselves, they will never share with other monsters."

"So, we may only have one monster to face."

"Three to one, fight it."

Lin Yi also thought about running away, but when Zhou Kai said the three words "too late", teacher Yao's eyes were already locked on them.

Teacher Yao jumped from one tree to another. He used the high-altitude vision to see Lin Yi and the others, so even if he ran away, teacher Yao would still catch up.

Once they ran out of Sifang Mountain and entered the city, the situation would be even more dangerous.

If they attracted other monsters, they would definitely die.

So, it would be better to take advantage of the fire on the mountain to divert most of the monsters and fight this monster.

With a "pop", teacher Yao jumped down from the tree not far away.

He walked over with a smile on his face, looked at Lin Yi and the others and said, "Where have you been for so many days?"

"The teacher was so anxious to find you."

The familiar face and concerned tone looked just like the usual teacher Yao.

However, Lin Yi saw in his eyes the greed that only monsters would show when facing food.

"Teacher Yao, why are you here?" Lin Yi walked forward a few steps, put his hands behind his back, and gestured to Zhou Kai and Lu Linhai.

"Of course I'm looking for you." Teacher Yao said anxiously.

"I heard from the police that you were kidnapped by a murderer, which made me anxious." Teacher Yao said as he walked towards Lin Yi.

"As your teacher, how can I stand by and watch when my students are in danger?"

"So, after I learned this news, I immediately contacted the police and cooperated with them to start searching the mountain."

"Fortunately, God will not let those who work hard fail, and I finally found you."

Teacher Yao opened his arms and walked over enthusiastically: "Come on, let the teacher see if you are injured."

That being said, as Teacher Yao got closer and closer, Lin Yi clearly saw the tentacles on his abdomen squirming excitedly, as if they couldn't wait to get out from under the skin.

"Do it!" Lin Yi shouted just as Teacher Yao walked in front of him.

Zhou Yun hid aside, and Zhou Kai and Lu Linhai went around to both sides of Teacher Yao from the left and right sides respectively.

They quickly pounced on him and hugged Teacher Yao tightly.

Lin Yi held the boning knife in his hand tightly, and his goal was clear - to attack the monster's eyes.

As the boning knife fell, his body swelled up rapidly as he saw the boning knife about to pierce Teacher Yao's left eye.

The skin on his body began to tear, and his sickle-like forearms pushed Zhou Kai and Lu Linhai away.

The tentacles with barbs on his abdomen quickly emerged, trying to entangle Lin Yi's knife-holding hand.

Fortunately, after half a month of training, Lin Yi's reaction ability has improved.

With a sudden kick of his feet, Lin Yi quickly retreated and distanced himself from Teacher Yao.

"What a disobedient bad student." The serrated mouthparts broke through the skin and emerged with the compound eyes.

"It's wrong to disrespect the elders."

"Elders?" Lin Yi found it ridiculous.

The monster in front of him didn't look like an elder at all.

"I don't know if we are bad students, but you are definitely not a good teacher." Lin Yi bent slightly so that he could exert force at any time.

"Did the murderer tell you? Haha, if you didn't know anything, you could have died easily." Six insect legs emerged from Teacher Yao one after another, and he quickly rushed towards Lin Yi with the insect legs waving.

As his right arm was about to swing down, Zhou Kai reminded him loudly: "Lin Yi, attack left, dodge right!"

Lin Yi understood and quickly dodged to the right.

The sickle-like forearm fell and hit Lin Yi's left side.

"Huh?" Teacher Yao was stunned for a moment. He never thought that his attack method was seen through by Zhou Kai.

In the past half month, in addition to their own training tasks, Lin Yi and his team also had a common training - cooperation.

Zhou Kai can predict the opponent's attack trajectory in advance through his ability. If the battle is at night, Zhou Kai's ability will play an unexpected role.

In order to use his ability to help Lin Yi and Lu Linhai, they set a simple set of commands.

For example, Zhou Kai just shouted "attack left" and "dodge right", which means that the monster will attack the left position and dodge to the right.

Just when Teacher Yao was distracted for a short time, Lu Linhai jumped hard and fell on Teacher Yao's back.

"Teacher Yao, I remember you said that you can't be distracted when studying, so, can you not be distracted when fighting?"

Lu Linhai raised the boning knife in his hand and stabbed Teacher Yao's left eye with force.

"Ah!" Teacher Yao screamed in pain, and the tentacles on his abdomen quickly rolled behind him.

However, Lu Linhai did not stay on Teacher Yao's back after the attack. He pulled out the knife and jumped down immediately, quickly pulling away from Teacher Yao.

Therefore, those swinging tentacles did not catch Lu Linhai at all.

The reason why Lu Linhai's attack was successful was not only because his physical strength and reaction ability had been improved by the training for half a month, but also because Teacher Yao underestimated Lin Yi and his team.

In Teacher Yao's eyes, the reason why Lin Yi and his team had escaped for more than 20 days must be because of fear.

Even if they confronted him head-on now, it would be just a struggle before death, just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, not to be feared.

But he never expected that the students he had taught in front of him were different from before.

"Now!" With Lin Yi's shout, Zhou Kai and Lu Linhai acted quickly.

An Chengdao was originally a butcher, and he had killed monsters before, so he knew the structure of monsters very well.

Under An Chengdao's training, Lin Yi and his team knew the joints of monsters very well.

The three of them attacked at the same time, and the boning knives in their hands accurately stabbed the joints of the insect's feet.
