Chapter 14 - Last Hunt

Running as fast as he could, Shen Hua managed to reach and climb to the place where the Thunderfoot Lizards live on the same day. After the sun had set and a storm had begun.

Running through the rain Shen Hua covered in a black cloak was looking for a place to protect himself. 'I should have expected this. This place is famous for its constant storms and lightning strikes. ' While thinking lightning fell and broke a nearby rock.

Speeding up Shen Hua kept looking for a cave to hide when she saw one in the distance. "FOUND IT!" Excited to find a shelter Shen Hua screamed and started running faster toward the cave.

As he was about to arrive he heard a noise and felt a strong impact on the chest and was thrown back. 'Cough, Cough' spitting a mouth of blood Shen Hua got up to see what had hit him.

Looking around suddenly heard a hiss he turned to the sound direction and saw what he was looking for 'Haha! Looks like I don't need five days.' In front of him was a Thunderfoot Lizard staring at him.

'I wanted to set a trap to kill him. He is by far the worst on the list to face head on.' The Thunderfoot Lizard measuring one meter and eighty centimeters and is three to four times faster than Shen Hua.

The Thunderfoot Lizard as the name suggests coats his paws with lightning to increase his speed. He likes to hit and fall back soon after when the victim has suffered enough damage he bites them to apply the poison present in his saliva that causes blood clotting inhibition and lowers blood pressure causing the victim to lose consciousness.

'Being bitten will be my death and with his speed I can forget to hit a blow.' While he was thinking the Thunderfoot Lizard disappeared from his sight.

'Behind!' As soon as Shen Hua turned around wanting to defend the blow he was hit in the back and knelt while spitting more blood.

While was crouching he remembered a phrase from one of his favorite characters 'Have you ever been kicked at lightning speed?'

'Hahaha~, what a time to think about it.' licking the blood at the corner of his mouth Shen Hua stood up.

When he looked at the lizard he disappeared again. 'Do not even think about it! Once okay two are terrible and a third doesn't happen. ' Shen Hua took a flask out of her purse, opened it and threw it high, then covered herself with the cloak.

Soon afterwards he began to feel the blood seeping on your cover and felt the scam of the Thunderfoot Lizard's again on his back. To ease the pain Shen Hua lunged forward and rolled using the force of the impact as an impulse.

'Let's see how you deal with the poison of a Poisonous Blood Frog!' Turning around Shen Hua saw that the Thunderfoot Lizard's tail was bloodstained. 'So you were beating me with your tail. Not the best place to infect with poison but have to serve.' Opening another blood bag Shen Hua threw once more.

The Thunderfoot Lizard has disappeared. Feeling the danger Shen Hua smiled 'If you want to kill yourself then I will help' Shen Hua pulled the dagger at his waist and threw it into the blood bag in the sky.

The moment the dagger came out of his hand Shen Hua felt a blow to his back again and used the impulse to get away from the blood bag that had already been struck by the dagger and began a shower of blood.

When he have lifted he saw the Thunderfoot Lizard with blood all over your body. The Thunderfoot Lizard hissed at him and advanced once more but at a much slower speed.

'The poison of Poisonous Blood Frog contracts blood vessels causing lack of blood in the extremities of the body. From now on the advantage is mine. 'Tossing the cloak away Shen Hua cleared his mind, and focused fully on the Thunderfoot Lizard's movements.

When it was about to be hit Shen Hua rolled away. The lizard attacked three more times and Shen Hua dodged all blows. After these three blows the Thunderfoot Lizard's speed was equal to that of Shen Hua and he seemed to be increasingly tired.

"Victory is mine, I just have to wait a little longer-" Before finishing talking Shen Hua tasted iron flavor in his mouth and spat a large amount of blood.

I have to get this over with quickly. Taking the halberd from its ring Shen Hua prepared to fight the Thunderfoot Lizard head-on.

The Thunderfoot Lizard advanced yet again even more slowly. Seeing the Thunderfoot Lizard approaching, Shen Hua used the halberd stabbing towards the Thunderfoot Lizard's eye.

The Thunderfoot Lizard dodged the halberd but when was going to bite. Shen Hua used his hand to push the halberd sideways by striking the Thunderfoot Lizard on the head and turning sideways quickly

managed to avoid being hit.

Shen Hua took advantage that the Thunderfooted Lizard was disoriented by the previous blow and struck him in the middle of the head. With the halberd on his head, the Thunderfoot Lizard slowly bent his legs and collapsed to the dead ground.

Seeing that the Thunderfoot Lizard died, Shen Hua removed the halberd from his head and with it the crystal came out. Without strength Shen Hua picked up the crystal from the floor and slowly walked toward the cave in the rain.

When getting inside it collapsed to the floor and passed out.

-------

I think I broke something.' Dragging himself, Shen Hua went to the cave wall and began to take off his armor.

'Ouch. Ouch OUCH! What a pain! I can't take it off. Paining so much.' Shen Hua tried to remove his breastplate to treat his wounds but it was hurting so badly that he gave up.

Shen Hua picked up the crystal of Thunderfoot Lizard beside his to see what it looks like. It is light blue in color with small radii at the ends and some marks that resemble scales throughout its length.

'I have finished. I got them all.' Shen Hua smiled, took the bag with the other four crystals from his ring to put them all in his hand to see them.

When he put the five together he felt dizzy. 'What's happening?' Shen Hua fainted. Without being able to support his body sitting down he fell on his side and lay down on the cave floor. When the crystals on his hand hit the floor they were completely colorless.
