Kapitel 42: Animal World
Even though he had engaged in close combat once, Xiang Kun was still shocked when he saw the owl standing on the rock under the moonlight.
Xiang Kun was on high alert. He was reading the owl's body language and could clearly feel that the owl was afraid of him.
However, it did not flap its wings and fly away as soon as it discovered him. He would definitely not be able to catch up to it. He could only continue chasing in the direction it flew in. However, if that was the case, it would be difficult to find it before dawn.
Furthermore, with the owl's perceptive abilities, it had already discovered him when he discovered it. It could just fly away. There was nothing it could do.
If it didn't fly, that meant it had other ideas…
Either that or it couldn't fly for some reason.
Either it was still unwilling to give up and wanted to kill Xiang Kun.
Based on Xiang Kun's judgment, the second reason was more likely.
Regardless of the reason, this was his chance.
However, he did not dare to attack the owl directly for fear of scaring it away. It would be best if the owl attacked him first.
Xiang Kun stopped about ten meters away from the owl. He noticed that the owl had moved back slightly, as though it was about to retreat. Perhaps it had noticed that Xiang Kun was recovering better and was preparing to escape.
Xiang Kun's mind was racing. Such a confrontation could not last long. As time passed, the owl felt that it could not take advantage of the situation and chose to escape.
Xiang Kun slowly raised the screwdriver in his hand and bit it. Then he took out the Swiss Army knife from his pocket and opened the blade. His movements were as slow and gentle as possible to avoid scaring the owl.
After opening the blade of the Swiss Army knife, Xiang Kun used the knife to make a long cut on his left arm.
Blood quickly flowed out and dripped onto the ground.
Xiang Kun placed the knife in his left hand and made a long cut on his right arm.
He showed the wounds on his arms to the owl.
He had previously licked the blood left by the owl on his arm and felt his body's intense desire for that blood. Therefore, he guessed that the owl was coveting his blood.
The reason why the gigantic owl had ambushed him by the lake was probably not because it was aggressive, but because it was hunting.
Otherwise, if it had the habit of attacking humans, it would have been exposed a long time ago. It did not conform to the habits of its actions.
The blood of the owl was very tempting to Xiang Kun. It was not purely a desire for delicious food, but an instinctual cry from his body. This temptation was even greater than that of ordinary animals.
Xiang Kun thought that he was rational and restrained, but he still needed a lot of willpower to resist the temptation of the blood. In fact, the reason why he had taken the risk to appear here and face the extremely dangerous gigantic owl was mainly because of the need for blood.
Even if that gigantic owl had a higher IQ than other animals, he did not believe that this animal had such strong control.
The wound on his hand stopped bleeding in less than ten seconds. The blood became viscous and did not flow, and the wound began to slowly close from both ends.
Hence, Xiang Kun used the Swiss army knife to cut each of them and let the blood flow out.
As he showed his wound and blood to the owl, he took two steps forward. Xiang Kun noticed that the owl had become more aggressive.
It could not hold back any longer!
The owl spread its wings and flew towards Xiang Kun's head. Then it landed on Xiang Kun with its claws extended.
Xiang Kun was extremely focused and his senses were at their peak. He could even hear the owl's heartbeat and breathing.
Therefore, when the owl was about to attack, he had already realized it.
When the owl soared into the sky, Xiang Kun had already grabbed the screwdriver and lowered his center of gravity, ready to attack.
Xiang Kun used his dynamic vision to its fullest extent and locked onto the owl's position in the air. He did not dodge or retreat at all. When the owl swooped down from above, he charged upwards with all his might.
Xiang Kun's plan was very clear. Whether he used his fist or a screwdriver to hit the owl's other parts, he might be able to injure or even severely injure it. However, it would be very difficult to make it lose its ability to fly and retaliate.
Therefore, his goal was clear—the owl's eyes!
Furthermore, it was the eye that had been blinded by him previously and had yet to fully recover!
Xiang Kun's reaction was completely out of the giant owl's expectations. It was much smarter than ordinary owls. It could even tell that Xiang Kun was deliberately using his blood to tempt it to attack. However, it could not stand the temptation and did not want to.
According to its deduction, Xiang Kun's first reaction should be to dodge the attack before counterattacking, just like when he was by the lake. Therefore, it did not use its full strength in its first attack. It was confident that it could catch Xiang Kun in the second attack after he dodged. Then it could bring him into the air and into its "home ground".
However, Xiang Kun did not dodge to the side. Instead, he leaped towards it, causing it to make a miscalculation. Furthermore, the eye on one side had yet to recover, so Xiang Kun's vision was affected. Xiang Kun passed between the claws and hugged it in midair!
While Xiang Kun was hugging the owl, he had already stabbed the owl's eye with the screwdriver. Then he pulled it out and stabbed it again!
With a shrill cry, Xiang Kun fell from the sky with the huge owl in his arms and rolled down the mountain. Soon, he hit a tree trunk and bounced off. The screwdriver flew out, but Xiang Kun still held onto the owl tightly.
The owl did not die immediately. It fought back with all its might. The two of them once again engaged in close combat on the ground. This time, it was an even more intense fight.
…
As the warm sunlight shone on his face, Xiang Kun slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself sprawled on the hillside, one leg hanging from a tree trunk, his body stuck in the weeds. He looked like an s
He pulled his leg back from the tree trunk and rolled down the slope. He hit another tree and stopped.
Xiang Kun rubbed his aching ribs and looked around.
It was still on that small mountain. From the position of the sun, it should be morning.
However, Xiang Kun knew that it had been more than a few hours since his battle with the owl.
He raised his head and looked up. There were many broken branches on the mountain slope. It looked like a mess. That was the place where he fought the giant owl last time.
Xiang Kun climbed up and walked to the place where he had fallen asleep. Apart from his shoe, there was no sign of the gigantic owl. There was no feather or blood.
However, Xiang Kun knew that the owl did not run away.
Before he fell asleep, he was sure that the owl had died in his arms and he had drunk a lot of blood.
