Chapter 214

In the forest on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, a figure was moving rapidly between the trees.

"Can't escape toward the headquarters, it will expose everyone."

Leone's footsteps stopped, her two beast ears twitched, and after identifying the direction, she ran toward the swamp in the depths of the forest.

"Follow if you have the guts, you monster."

Leone gritted her teeth; she had been running for two hours, but that faint sense of threat was still there.

Two minutes after Leone ran away, Su Xiao arrived at the location where Leone had been before.

He could only roughly perceive Leone's direction. Leone was running in a hurry and didn't have time to cover her tracks.

He judged the specific direction of the other party from the footprints and broken branches.

After confirming Leone's escape direction, Su Xiao followed quickly; he had long known that the enemy had discovered him, and now the two were in a relationship of prey and hunter.

The final result would depend on whether the prey was cunning or the hunter was more experienced.

Gradually moving forward, Su Xiao felt the air become humid, and the smell of rotting vegetation in the forest was very strong.

His feet softened, and Su Xiao stepped into a mud puddle.

"This is... a swamp?"

Pulling his leg out of the mud puddle, his footsteps became cautious.

A swamp is a very dangerous place. An ordinary mud swamp is fine; even if he accidentally falls into it, he has a way to get out, but if it is a mud-water swamp, it is dangerous.

That kind of swamp can swallow people in less than five seconds. The more intense the struggle, the faster they die, because the water is mixed with a large amount of soil, and swimming for survival in a mud-water swamp is also a delusion.

No matter how skilled a survival master is, after falling into a mud-water swamp, they will give themselves a knife to avoid the pain of suffocation.

Some people will wonder why they would walk on it if they knew it was a swamp.

If a swamp can be seen with the naked eye, it is not dangerous. Most swamps have a layer of dry soil on the surface, which is formed by the sun baking the surface of the swamp.

Sometimes the wind will blow leaves onto the swamp, forming a natural trap.

Su Xiao cut down a five or six-meter-long branch from a tree; the branch was about the thickness of an arm.

Holding the branch in one hand, Su Xiao ignored the swamp.

If you are marching in a swamp, the best way is to find a long branch, so even if you fall into the swamp, you can grab a point of force to break free from the swamp.

Although holding a knife in the right hand and a long branch in the left hand is somewhat funny, compared to life and death, this is nothing.

His feet softened again, and Su Xiao fell into a mud swamp with one leg.

After stepping into the swamp, Su Xiao clearly felt the suction of the mud in the swamp.

Checking Zhan Long Shan was inserted into the ground, Su Xiao tilted his body to pull his leg out of the swamp, but his shoe remained in the swamp forever, and his right leg was covered in mud.

Su Xiao's face darkened; the battlefield chosen by the enemy was somewhat pit-like.

"Don't let me catch you, otherwise I'll throw you into the swamp to drown."

Continuing to track the enemy's tracks, after tracking for about half an hour, a row of muddy footprints came into view.

The enemy also fell into the swamp, and it looked like the whole person fell in.

Su Xiao felt secretly happy in his heart, secretly saying that you have today too.

After leaving a row of single muddy footprints, Su Xiao's feet softened again.

With a *splat*, half of Su Xiao's body fell into the swamp, and it was still a mud swamp.

"Damn it."

One minute later, Su Xiao struggled out of the swamp, his face pale. This time he would also leave two muddy footprints.

The tracking continued, and ten minutes later, a red signal flare was fired from not far ahead.

*Boom. *

The red signal flare exploded, leaving a piece of red dust in the air.

"Asking for help?"

Su Xiao hurried to the direction where the signal flare was fired. Two minutes later, he saw the enemy, but he couldn't see the enemy's appearance; the enemy was covered in mud from head to toe.

"Did I kill your relatives or friends?"

After meeting, Leone asked directly.

"Not at all."

Su Xiao threw away the wooden stick in his hand. If he dealt with it cautiously, Leone wouldn't be able to make any waves; he restrained Leone's type of close-quarters combat.

Leone's full mouth of fangs gritted; these were the sharp teeth that appeared after beastification.

"Since I didn't kill your relatives or friends, why are you chasing me so hard? You've run around the Imperial Capital twice, a distance of over a hundred kilometers. Is it just because I peeked at you?"

Leone's furry beast claws gripped and clicked. Her identity had not been exposed in the Imperial Capital, and she thought Su Xiao didn't recognize her.

"Leone, main member of 'Night Raid', Teigu is 'Lionelle: Lion King', born in the slums, lived by stealing as a child, apprenticed to an old monk at 'Imperial Fist Temple' at fourteen, obtained Teigu at sixteen, joined the Revolutionary Army at seventeen, became a member of 'Night Raid' after passing the selection at eighteen."

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Xiao's mouth.

"Want to know anything else?"

Leone looked at Su Xiao sluggishly; some information she didn't even remember herself.

Before entering the Akame ga Kill world, Su Xiao checked all the information he had organized before. Not to mention this information, even Leone's measurements were clear to him.

"In that case, it can only be you die or I die."

Leone wiped the mud and water on her face. Her eyes were like an enraged lioness.

"It's not you die or I die, it's you must die. Hey~, finally can speak freely."

Su Xiao had been holding it in for the past two days. Although he was not a chatterbox, after pretending to be a Black Ops member, the most he said was 'hmm', 'good', 'got it'.

After venting, Su Xiao stopped talking, and pale blue electric arcs clung to the surface of Checking Zhan Long Shan.

After reinforcing Checking Zhan Long Shan, he hadn't fought anyone to the death yet. Esdeath didn't use her full strength that time, and he only used two slashes against the giant wolf. These two times didn't show the sharpness of Checking Zhan Long Shan at all.

The sword hummed, Su Xiao stepped on the ground, and the dead leaves flew. In less than two seconds, he had appeared in front of Leone.

Su Xiao's agility attribute was 24 points. This speed was not fast in the eyes of Leone after beastification, but Su Xiao didn't rely on speed and strength to deal with strong enemies; he was better at fighting with technique + sword skills. Strength and agility attributes were the foundation.

The long sword broke through the air, and blue radiance flowed. Leone subconsciously used her claws to meet the long sword; this was her usual way.

After beastification, Leone's claws were very hard, and even some Teigu couldn't break her defense.

A sobbing sound of breaking through the air came, and Checking Zhan Long Shan's sharp blade seemed to be about to tear the air.

When the claws were about to touch Checking Zhan Long Shan, Leone felt a stinging pain in her claws.

Beast instinct told her that if she continued, she might lose this furry claw.

But it was too late to retreat now, Leone could only bite the bullet and defend.

Checking Zhan Long Shan's blade touched Leone's claws, and as the two touched, the hardened film on Leone's claws was instantly cut open.

*Pfft. *

Red blood drifted in the air, and half a furry claw was very conspicuous in the blood.

With a *thud*, half a claw fell to the ground, and Leone retreated a few steps holding her severed palm.

"How could it be... so sharp."

*Thud, thud. *

Blood dripped onto the dead leaves, and the forest was quiet.
