Chapter 1763: Chapter 617_3

It’s just that…

As Zhou Tian had just narrowly dodged the ferocious beast’s snapping tail, before he could mount a counterattack, the beast suddenly lowered its head and lunged straight at Zhou Tian with its jaws wide open.

There was no other thod. Faced with that dire situation, Zhou Tian had no choice but to use his ti ability once more to slow down the attack’s speed. Only by relying on his ability’s assistance did he barely manage to escape the beast’s strike again.

However…

Another claw swipe, another tail whip, followed by yet another bite. The ferocious beast only seed to have these three moves to deal with Zhou Tian. At first glance, it appeared there was variety, but in truth, its tactics were monotonously repetitive.

Without a doubt, in that situation, Zhou Tian honestly felt a sense of helplessness. After all, while the beast’s three moves were simple, their continuous onslaught left Zhou Tian with no openings to retaliate. Under such circumstances, regardless of how powerful Zhou Tian was, the only thing he could do at the ti was evade. It seed that aside from dodging, Zhou Tian had no other counterasures against the beast’s attacks.

Moreover, in that situation, unless he disrupted the beast’s rhythm of attacks, the battle between Zhou Tian and the beast would remain at a standstill. Following the current trajectory, even if they fought for ten thousand years, Zhou Tian likely wouldn’t be able to do anything to harm that ferocious beast.

If this were in the outside world, things would be easier. Zhou Tian’s strength alone would suffice, and even if the beast were slightly stronger, Zhou Tian would still have the ti to figure out a thod to clean up the opponent. After all, it didn’t seem like the beast was a genuine living being. Against such a lifeless entity, no matter how formidable its attack power, as long as he pinpointed its weak spot, taking it down wouldn’t be too difficult.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tian was not in the outside world. Within the environnt of that jungle, even if Zhou Tian didn’t want to directly clash with the beast, he had no other choice.

After all, Zhou Tian’s current predicant was far from ideal. Within the jungle’s internal rules, Zhou Tian couldn’t recover his energy. Thus, during the battle, as the combat dragged on, Zhou Tian’s energy would inevitably deplete, making him progressively weaker. In such a scenario, if he couldn’t take the beast down within a short ti, Zhou Tian could forget about ever seizing victory in this battle.

The enemy wouldn’t grow weaker; rather, it seed to thrive and grow increasingly aggressive the longer the fight went on. anwhile, Zhou Tian’s own strength would only dwindle. Under such conditions, even considering Zhou Tian’s impressive past war achievents, he couldn’t confidently claim he could win this fight.

So, as soon as Zhou Tian realized things were amiss, his only option to avoid defeat was to find a way to break the stalemate.

Evading clearly wouldn’t bring Zhou Tian any help at this point. Thus, given the situation, Zhou Tian had no other choices. If he didn’t want to lose, his sole option was to engage the beast in a hard fight to find a thod to overturn the current predicant. Only by disrupting the beast’s sequence of attacks could Zhou Tian regain his ability to counterattack.

To be honest, if he had a choice, Zhou Tian never would’ve initially considered directly clashing with the beast.

After all, Zhou Tian knew far too little about the beast, and with such a mysterious opponent, casual contact was always a dangerous gamble. Facing ordinary living beings wasn’t too concerning, but the true fear lay in creatures like this beast, which might harbor so kind of special ability. If Zhou Tian encountered a being with such abilities, it was entirely possible the opponent could exploit its abilities to kill him the mont they made contact.

Though Zhou Tian understood that the likelihood of encountering such a being was infinitesimally small—barring truly abysmal luck—there was never any guarantee. In the Divine Realm, a high martial world, where Zhou Tian wasn’t yet among the strongest, he couldn’t afford to recklessly engage any living being.

But given the circumstances, it was clear Zhou Tian had no other options. Even knowing that rashly engaging an opponent whose details he didn’t understand might leave him at a disadvantage, Zhou Tian still chose to proceed that way.

“Bang!”

As the ferocious beast launched yet another chained attack, driving Zhou Tian to the edge of his patience, he could no longer bear the relentless assault. In an outburst of frustration, he chose to et the beast head-on as it struck out with a claw, raising his hand to clash directly against the incoming attack.

With a deafening boom, both Zhou Tian and the ferocious beast were launched backward at the sa ti.

At first glance, it appeared the clash had ended in a draw. Judging by their relative sizes, it seed like Zhou Tian’s physical strength might even surpass that of the beast slightly. In that mont, it looked as though Zhou Tian had gained the upper hand.

However, the mont the exchange ended, Zhou Tian’s face darkened. Judging by his expression, regardless of whether or not he had managed to gain an advantage in that clash, Zhou Tian was evidently extrely dissatisfied with the result.
