"Damn it, I was almost there, but this flea suddenly moved again. What a piece of trash."
"Can't you just stay put and let me tie your leg? Why do you have to keep moving?"
Jiang Fan had almost succeeded. He was getting closer to the flea, but he hadn't expected it to suddenly attack Yao. This caused him to shift his position, and he failed.
However, the flea immediately stopped again. Yao, who hadn't dodged in time, was grazed by the flea. He spun several times in mid-air before falling, struggling to get back on his feet.
"Yao, are you alright? Can you still hold on? If not, I'll switch."
Upon hearing this, Yao quickly raised his hand in response and then said to Jiang Fan.
"It's not too serious, just a bit painful. No internal injuries. I can still fight for a while like this. You go ahead."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan didn't hesitate. This was no time to worry about minor issues. If they kept changing their tactics because of these small problems, they would never finish this fight.
"Alright, then keep it up for a bit longer. I'll find an opportunity as soon as possible. Try to make the flea wait longer. Move left and right to disorient its aim, and it won't attack you."
Yao immediately nodded and began to move left and right, anticipating the flea's attack. The previous strike had indeed left him shaken.
"Damn it, this thing is a beast. Its attack power is too fierce. Jiang Fan, you need to seize the opportunity. If it happens again, my body might not hold up."
Jiang Fan seized the opportunity and quickly approached the flea. When it was caught off guard, he secretly tied a knot around its leg with a rope. Then, he used his axe to dig a small notch into the ground.
This small notch was what Jiang Fan used to secure a piece of wood. After a series of actions, he finally managed to tie down the monstrous creature, otherwise, Yao might have been crushed to death.
Fleas primarily focus their attention forward. Although they are sensitive to their surroundings, they are very weak at observing what's behind them. If a flea stands still, and you approach it from behind, it won't notice. Thus, Jiang Fan's series of actions successfully avoided the flea's observation.
Jiang Fan gave Yao a thumbs-up, signaling that everything was fine. Yao then stood up with a wry smile.
He knew they were safe for now.
"That was close. Thank goodness we're safe. I thought I was a goner."
After Jiang Fan successfully secured the flea, Yao slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said.
However, by this time, blood was already streaming from Yao's left hand.
Seeing his bleeding hand, Yao quickly looked for Dai Xiao Mei. Unexpectedly, a strong gust of wind blew. Jiang Fan looked back and saw a very large dinosaur.
Jiang Fan quickly ran to Yao's side, dragged him under the flea, and dodged the attack. Then, they quickly fled. The dinosaur, unable to capture Yao, quickly ascended.
As the rulers of the sky, they never lingered on the ground for too long when hunting. After a failed attack, they would ascend again, looking for another opportunity to strike, never exposing themselves to unnecessary danger.
Jiang Fan knew that the dinosaur had discovered them. If they stayed there any longer, they would likely be killed by it. As expected, when he looked back, the dinosaur was rapidly flying towards them again. Fortunately, Jiang Fan had managed to enrage the flea this time, and it was quickly moving its body.
However, the flea's movements were now restricted by Jiang Fan, making it very slow. It couldn't attack Jiang Fan for the moment.
"Damn it, this thing is too powerful. If it catches us, we'll be dead."
Jiang Fan, with Yao, successfully retreated into the nearby crevice.
He frowned and said quickly.
The dinosaur couldn't do anything to them. However, it then noticed the flea bouncing erratically on the ground.
The flea had fallen to the ground and was lying on its side. It kept kicking its legs but couldn't escape.
With its legs bound, it needed to bounce to untie the rope, but this was no match for the pursuit of the aerial predator.
At this moment, the dinosaur rapidly attacked the small flea.
Although the flea was immense in front of Jiang Fan, it appeared tiny, like a lamb with its young, in front of the dinosaur. With a single swipe of its claw, the dinosaur carried the flea away.
Jiang Fan thought they were a little safer, but suddenly he felt another strong gust of wind. He quickly pushed his companion backward.
As expected, the next second, the dinosaur's claw stretched out from the side and fiercely grabbed into the crevice. Jiang Fan quickly retreated. His chest was almost pierced by the claw. If it had touched him, a large hole would have opened in his chest.
"That was close. I almost died."
After saying this, Jiang Fan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
He pondered, lost in thought.
Staying hidden there was no longer safe. It was also impossible to leave safely, as there was a taming method called "aoying," or "eagle taming."
Everyone on the Mongolian steppes, in order to have excellent hunting companions, would capture an eagle and temper its will.
Clearly, no eagle would give up easily.
