Gray was the first to dash, sprinting towards the giant tree’s pit.
Some things in this world clearly had magical effects that far exceeded Gray’s common sense, just like the vitality fruit which juice was slowly spreading out in Gray’s mouth.
The vitality fruit’s effects, especially the ripe fruit’s, were undoubtedly more effective and overbearing than all the potions in his previous life. According to Gray’s feeling, its effects were probably tens of times more effective than the unripened ones.
Along with Gray’s rapid running, he actually felt that the pain in his body was decreasing bit by bit. His physical strength even showed signs of continuing to recover.
Compared to the unripe vitality fruit, which could recover Gray’s body’s fatigue, the ripe vitality fruit wouldn’t be able to completely heal Gray’s injuries in an instant. Gray could feel that as his body moved vigorously, some parts of his body that withstood the impact would still feel a faint pain.
However, there was no doubt that the current Gray had already possessed a movement ability that was comparable to his ability in his best condition.
Even his injuries from being sent flying by the ancient elephant could be healed in such a short period of time. The fully ripened vitality fruit’s effect was simply amazing.
But even so, it was still far from enough!
Just as Gray ran, the ancient elephant also reacted.
Without a doubt, Gray’s attack had already touched the most intolerable part of it!
At this moment, it could no longer care about crushing and trampling.
Gray could only see that terrifying might rushing towards his direction!
The ancient elephant was extremely fast. Its legs were extremely long, and its explosive power was terrifying. Every step it took was twice the distance of Gray’s. Without a doubt, if this continued, before they reached the giant pit. The ancient elephant would have caught up to him and trampled him to death!
Gray was clearly aware of this. He had already made such a guess long before the sneak attack. After all, anyone who saw the scene of the ancient elephant trampling on the jungle wouldn’t think that it would be easy to escape under the pursuit of such an existence.
However, Gray also had his own guess regarding this situation. As long as this guess could be verified, Gray had an 80% chance of successfully luring the ancient elephant to the pit of the giant tree, and he wouldn’t be caught by it.
Gray immediately activated his own response. Using his left foot as the axis, his right foot stomped on the ground, and his body changed direction to the left. The direction of his movement immediately changed. Deviating from the previous straight line, he changed the direction of his running with a sharp turn of nearly ninety degrees.
The ancient elephant chasing after him was not stopped by Gray’s turn. With a low growl, it naturally followed Gray and changed its direction.
The wild ancient elephant’s inertia to change direction was very great, which also led to its actions being great when changing directions.
The ancient elephant turned its body toward Gray, using its left forelimb as the center to support its entire body.
Immediately, a wave of sand and dust rose up crazily from the elephant’s left forelimb. However, this was clearly not enough to offset the inertia of the elephant’s body. The elephant then tilted the uninjured part of its body to the front, and leaning to the side of the inertia, the elephant actually used its thick body to hit the trees along the way to weaken the inertia.
The scene was filled with sand and stones. The broken branches and tree debris that flew off from the inertia could even break the trees in the distance!
As expected.
While running, Gray had been paying attention to the actions of the ancient elephant. Naturally, he had also noticed the ancient elephant’s massive turn.
This undoubtedly confirmed some of his conjectures.
The ancient elephant had always been running in a straight line through the jungle. Gray had not thought about this when he first saw it. After all, Gray had still been amazed by the elephant’s huge body and powerful strength.
However, when he started to think about how to escape after angering the elephant, this image once again appeared in Gray’s mind.
What if the elephant had been moving in a straight line not because it wanted to, but because it had to?
Gray’s train of thought suddenly opened up.
Perhaps it was because the elephant was too big, it gave it unparalleled strength and absolute defense, but also a weakness that was not considered a weakness.
It was fated that it would not be able to make agile turns while speeding. In particular, the greater the angle of the turn and the faster the running speed, the easier it would be for the elephant to roll over due to the inertia.
Before all of this happened, Gray was also extremely apprehensive. However, the reality proved that Gray’s idea was correct. In fact, the actual situation was even better than what he had imagined at the beginning.
Because of the injury on the left hind leg, the ancient elephant’s degree of agility had plummeted. As a result, it had to rely on its left foreleg to support itself when making a turn, making it even more difficult for it to move.
This was his chance.
Gray felt confident.
Next, every time Gray sensed the elephant approaching him, he made an emergency turn. Relying on his small size and the advantage of his agility, he constantly changed the direction of his advance, and he guaranteed that he would eventually gain distance.
Then, when the elephant could only turn its body with great effort, he would pull away once again.
This action undoubtedly angered the elephant to death. When Gray had first turned twice, it had thought that this was just the normal flustering of its prey. Soon, he would be destroyed under its iron hooves.
However, as Gray had repeatedly turned when it was about to approach, it had also seen through that this was Gray’s strategy, but it could not do anything about it.
This almost playful chase made the blood vessels in the eyes of the elephant thicken, and the stomping movements became larger and larger. Its brain, which was already not very clear, became even more muddled.
There was no doubt that this way of running was far beyond Gray’s ability to move. However, Gray relied on the strength of the ripe vitality fruit in his mouth to constantly replenish his strength, in order to ensure that his ability to move would not decline, as well as to ensure he was able to maintain his movement pace.
However, there was a limit to this kind of extreme state. The vitality fruit was only half the size of a fist. Once it was eaten up, Gray’s ability to move would definitely decline in a straight line.
This was a race of life and death.
Either Gray arrived at the giant tree pit before the vitality fruit was eaten up, or he would have been crushed by the ancient elephant because the vitality fruit’s effect disappeared!
Gray couldn’t lose!
