36 Stormy Night Overture(6)
36:
This is the closest Zhou Tang has come to death.
Maybe it was because I saw the face of the minotaur that night, and I thought it was too much in my heart, and at the same time, I was a little dissatisfied with Meng Jin's mistake to snatch the first kill. This time, Zhou Tang instinctively rushed to the front. Completely ignoring the usual training - in the training protocol, against a demon above the Chastes, three or more students must be allowed to attack together. This rule has not been broken for hundreds of years, and even the top students of the academy, Benjamin, Frank, and Coco, have never heroically attacked alone when confronted with a situation.
Such a protocol actually makes sense. Because when Zhou Tang just pulled the bolt and loaded it again, he really didn't have a chance to fire again. I only felt that the black shadow in mid-air instantly magnified, and a gust of cold wind came towards him, and immediately after, Zhou Tang found himself falling in the alley. Because of the "Rachel" tied to his chest, the blow of the sheep demon just now did not cause external injuries, but Zhou Tang felt a little more bloody smell between his breaths, and he realized that maybe he had broken two ribs, and the internal organs were very likely to be broken.
Such an injury couldn't help but remind Zhou Tang of his childhood. Because of the pressure of his career, Zhou Tang's father not only used several female secretaries to relieve the pressure, but also liked the extreme sport of "death bicycle". It's a sport that's as simple as riding a mountain bike on a rugged hilltop and going on a dampant rampage. Unlike the mountain bikes of road races, the course of the death bike tends to be gravel, cliffs, and three-finger-wide trails. The reason why it is called death is because the mortality rate of this sport is indeed very high, and if you are not careful, a broken hand or foot is a minor injury, and there are many guys in history who directly broke their necks and swallowed their breath.
Whenever there was a bottleneck or too much pressure at work, my father would always take a few henchmen to the mountains in the suburbs to play this sport. After a few times, no subordinate dared to please his father anymore. Because no matter how high the compensation for work-related injuries is, it can't get back a pair of intact arms and thighs. So, his father, who was determined to train Zhou Tang since he was a child, brought his son into this movement. Zhou Tang, who was probably still in elementary school at an international school, and whenever he came back from vacation, he and his father went crazy and jumped down the mountain on a bicycle.
That's really a game of death. Every second seems like the last second of life. Zhou Tang has also had several accidents, large and small, and there are still two steel nails in his right arm.
It was getting harder and harder to breathe, it felt like the world was getting darker and darker, and the shouting in the headphones was becoming distant and empty, and Zhou Tang's last bit of consciousness was saying, "I won't just hang up this time."
"Zhou Tang!" Coco shouted.
Just now, she clearly saw that the black shadow swooped down, and a pair of black claws were like diamonds, fiercely clasping Zhou Tang's chest and then flicking it. Zhou Tang's jacket shattered inch by inch from his chest, revealing the bronze battle axe strapped to his chest. Zhou Tang showed a painful expression as soon as he landed on the ground, and it was obvious that the force just now was enough to tear the steel.
As if a little dissatisfied with the fact that his blow did not cause a bloody scene, the black shadow kicked its feet on the wall with its claws as if venting, and floated into the air again. A large crater suddenly appeared in the wall, and the wall of the alley, which was not very strong, shook, and it seemed that it would not last long.
"This guy!"
Meng Jin's finger pulled the trigger. He had been waiting for this moment, until there was enough light to establish the position of the sheep demon. Because of the large crater in the wall, the neon sign outside the nearby bar was faintly visible, and a small part of the dark shadow was finally exposed to the light.
A massive 0.9-inch Mithril bullet emerges. The anti-materiel sniper rifles of the Bartley series use only 0.5 inch bullets, which are powerful enough to penetrate three layers of body armor and 8 centimeters of steel plates. And this 0.9-inch Mithril bullet that rotated out was carved with a rune array, which could increase the kinetic energy and range several times more than ordinary bullets.
At 2,586 meters, this is the distance between Meng Jin on the top floor of the Shanghai Tower and the sheep demon in the back alley of a bar a block away.
The Mithril bullet swirled through the cold drizzle of the air, through the roof of a parking lot, through the billboard on the top floor of a bank, through a traffic light on a main road, and over the shoulders of a couple holding hands on a flyover outside the bar.
Both Coco and Sachiko felt a whistling sound overhead, and then saw a spark burst out of the alley.
The brief glow from the spark made it clear to them that a Mithril bullet was spinning to burrow into the shadow, but it was blocked by the sheep demon's wings stretched out from behind. Mithril's warhead became fiery, gradually dissolving into a cloud of red molten iron, and the rune array erupted with the silver light of this word, but then dimmed little by little, extinguishing after two seconds.
A ball of iron lumps fell into the blood-colored puddle in front of Zhou Tang.
"What is this?" Meng Jin couldn't believe that his perfect arc trajectory hit the target, but it was easily blocked by the wings of the sheep demon. You must know that the minotaur that night, when he was hit by a large-caliber thermal weapon, he would also have wounds of different shades on his hard chest.
"Sachiko! Cover me! Coco shouted, the goal at this moment has changed from killing the sheep demon to rescuing Zhou Tang who is in the absolute danger zone first.
Sachiko stood domineeringly at the entrance of the alley, and at some point, an ancient arquebus had already appeared in her hand. This is a smoothbore gun invented in the 16th century that uses an arquebus to ignite and propel gunpowder to fire a projectile.
The arquebus was so long that it almost caught up with Sachiko's height. However, Sachiko was held in his hand by Sachiko, who was dressed as a little Lori, but there was no shaking at all.
This is not an ordinary useless antique, it has a name - "Hell Flame Soil", which is an artifact from Dongying. Inside this fire gun, the spirit of the night of fire is housed.
Legend has it that the two great gods of Toei, Izanagi Izanami's first child, were deformed. The reason is that when they first met, it was the woman who spoke first. So after learning the reason, Izanagi and Izanami returned to the Hachitoden where they first met, and this time Izanagi first said, "What a beautiful woman," and then Izanami replied, "What a handsome man." So they had a second normal child, Night of Fire. Unfortunately, because of the night of fire, Yisu was destined to become the god of fire, so Izanami died of a difficult birth and was burned by fire when she gave birth to him. Later, Izanagi was so sad and angry that when the night of fire grew up, he hacked the child to death with his sword "Ten Grips of the Sword", and at the same time went to the road of finding a wife in the land of Yellow Springs.
Although the life of the Night of Fire was short, he later became the god of fire in Dongying.
Sachiko's right hand was holding the firecracker, but in her left hand she held a blue Dupont lighter studded with diamonds. As soon as her fingertips pressed, blue ice flames erupted from the lighter, instantly igniting the black arquebus exposed from the gun.
The black fire rope of about five centimeters also ignited into a pillar of fire in an instant, and then, from the barrel of the Hell Flame Earthen Earth, a raging flame of several meters long erupted.
It was as if it were a modern-day flamethrower, and the ancient firebolt was held by Sachiko, and she approached the black shadow step by step. This time, the sheep demon stood at the end of the alley, and also wrapped his body with his wings. However, the raging flame seemed to be quite powerful, and the black wings of the sheep demon man also turned red like a soldering iron, and at the same time, the sheep demon who clasped the wall with his claws began to shake and tremble a little.
This is the power of the Hell Flame Earth. Although there was nothing in the barrel of this antique gun, and the black arquebus seemed to burn forever. But every time Sachiko lit the rope, the flames erupted from the barrel of the gun automatically. Moreover, after testing, the flame temperature of the Hell Flame Flame is as high as 5,000 degrees Celsius, which can not only easily dissolve the metal, but can even be comparable to the temperature of the sun's surface.
At the same time, Coco rushed into the alley, grabbed Zhou Tang's shoulder, and pulled him out of the bloody alley little by little.
At this moment, Coco's sturdy arm exerted its power, and Zhou Tang was dragged by Coco, gradually moving away from the sheep demon.
People came and went at the entrance of the alley, but not many people noticed the earth-shattering battle that took place here. It turned out that the moment Coco approached here, she spilled the "Enchantment Ball" developed by the Logistics Department. This is a 360-degree virtual projection installation, and to others, the alley entrance is just as dark and silent as ever.
The wind blew from outside, and Zhou Tang's white eyes finally regained their brilliance. However, his mouth moved twice, but he could only mumble a few short words.
Coco read everything from his eyes and recognized the shape of his mouth, so she nodded and stood up. The hat of the jersey had fallen, and her bright brown hair was flying wildly under the night sky.
Another thunderclap heralded an even bigger storm to come.
Coco knew that this was a never-ending battle, and the phrase that Zhou Tang spit out just now was, "Kill him".
