Chapter 47: String Your Heart and My Heart
In an instant, Izumi Shinichi subconsciously held his breath, as if he was worried that if he exhaled a little breath, he would mess up something.
Ah You's voice sounded in his ears, as if he had said something.
But Quan Xinyi didn't have time to pay attention to it at the moment, so he just subconsciously asked a rhetorical question.
"W-What?"
With a bang, it was as if the air had exploded, and Izumi couldn't see what was happening, only to see his companion roll over the momentum, and something flashed over his head.
In an instant, the high school student's heart almost froze.
But fortunately, because of the timely rolling dodge, Xia Ran's body was not cut in half, only a long tentacle flashed over his head, cutting off a tree behind him.
I saw the trunk of the tree slipping diagonally, roaring and splashing smoke.
However, the charge also stopped, Xia Ran gasped heavily, coughed up saliva mixed with blood, his chest was blurred with flesh and blood, and he was also slashed in the back of the brutal, too violent or large movements will affect the injury.
It was already the limit just now, and now I really can't run, so I can only watch the opportunity just now be missed. Damn, he should have been a little more decisive, but he hesitated, and as a result, he was delayed.
Although he said that there was a chance to do it again, this time he would have to pay a heavier price.
Xia Ran took a deep breath, and then stepped forward without fear, his eyes looking cold and abnormal. There was a rather peculiar feeling emanating from him, the most intuitive manifestation of which was that his whole person had become very calm.
Although the other party has entered the limit, he is also the last of the poorest with serious injuries, but he has entered a very wonderful state at the moment.
In this state, it was as if he had gained the greatest strength to support his mind, and his fear faded like a tidal wave. But he didn't know how long he would be able to maintain this delicate state, and his injuries would not allow it to drag on.
So you can't think about anything -
The only thing to think about is to defeat the enemy in front of you as soon as possible and win that chance to live.
He was convinced that he would stand to the end, a feeling that was completely unjustified, but very real without any falsehood.
"I'm going to kill you—"
The merging monster let out an angry roar, and it began to feel agitated and anxious, because the body's functions were rapidly declining, and the head and arms were bleeding profusely, and now it had three tentacles severed.
All of these factors are rapidly weakening its vitality.
It is a very rational creature, so when it first feels that it is not in good shape, it understands that it is difficult for it to deal with the two enemies on the opposite side through normal combat. It is guaranteed to win, but it has a slim chance of killing the enemy outright.
Therefore, Goto chose to explode directly at any cost, to take out the two enemies in front of him in one go, and then replace one body. But this idea was not easily realized, and even one of the enemies who thought he had lost his ability to act at least continued to fight, and his vitality was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
And it just lost a good chance to mend the knife because it made a mistake in judgment and turned its head to chase another person...... By now, the human body has reached its limit due to extreme oppression.
Being cornered in such a desperate situation, Goto also rarely felt a certain emotion that might be "anger", and the human on the other side really made it feel an unimaginable threat, just like it had just been.
At the time, it thought it was a delusion, because the parasitic beast had no natural predators.
But now, the human walked over step by step, his eyes seemed cold and flat, and the killing intent that was unusually flat but tightly locked on it was so clear, as if he was looking at a corpse!
Unprecedentedly, Goto actually felt a trace of fear from the heart, and almost couldn't unify the consciousness of several other companions, but it suppressed the conflict in time, and did not want such an illusion to interfere with its own judgment, and made up its mind to kill this dangerous human.
"Shinichi! This is a good opportunity to leave right away at this time! Don't waste any more time......"
Ah Youlian's rapid urging voice finally brought Izumi back to his senses, and he judged that this was the most correct choice.
Quan Xin was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Ah You had been saying to himself, should he run away by himself at this time?
That monster now seems to have hatred on its own companions, and the two sides have entered a state of confrontation for some reason, as if this is really a chance...... But is this really the right choice?
In the next moment, heavy footsteps resounded throughout the woods, as if using this as a signal that the final battle was about to start!
Watching the monster run wildly with the dust flying, the majestic and ferocious aura emanated wildly......
I saw that his companion's chest was already stained with blood, and the broken ribs were clinging to the flesh, but he was still like a calm and ferocious beast, walking towards the enemy step by step without hesitation......
Izumi Shinichi's head went blank.
"What are you kidding, ahhhh——!!h
The next moment, the high school student clenched his fists and roared wildly, his body moving faster than his consciousness, rushing through like bullets, as if every step was burning with all his strength and faith.
Ah You didn't say anything, but instantly switched to a combat state, waving his bone blade and roaring to meet it!
As he expected, Izumi Shinichi will not run away, and he will help him contain a large part of the enemy's attacks.
Then next, the enemy's attack is first ...... From above!
In Xia Ran's consciousness, such thoughts turned around like lightning, and his left hand suddenly separated a tentacle, which bounced up like a huge python, and collided fiercely with the attack that suddenly appeared above his head.
Violent sparks sputtered in all directions, and the Bone Blade met the Bone Blade, blocking the sudden attack.
The second attack was ...... Towards your heart!
Xia Ran's body shook suddenly, and in the flash of a flash, an afterimage that could not be distinguished by the naked eye brushed against the left side of his body and passed like this, and the strong wind that brought it up made his cheeks hurt.
And Xiao Zuo's other tentacle mimic attack did not hesitate to cut down directly, and cut off the tentacle that pierced straight from it nearby, and blood burst out!
Then the third attack is...... Will be blocked by Izumi Shinichi's right hand! Good opportunity, you can dash forward three meters!
That's it, there is no need to go through any calculation and analysis, it seems to be a really clear sixth sense, anyway, it is the incomparably accurate intuition ability that makes Xia Ran make the most correct response in a short period of time.
Not to mention that Izumi Shinichi in the back was dumbfounded, even Xia Ran himself felt a little incredible, although the person who chose to believe in this delicate mental state was himself.
"Whoa, whoa—"
The combined monster on the opposite side roared in a beastly voice, as if it was completely enraged, and the denser tentacles waved the bone blade, focusing on the direction of Xia Ran like raindrops, greatly relieving Izumi Shinichi's pressure.
It has been cut off with two more tentacles, and its condition has deteriorated even further, so it is judged that it must first concentrate its forces and kill the enemy who poses the greatest threat!
This time, there are two attacks that cannot be easily avoided, and the direction of the breakthrough is ahead......
Xia Ran's expression still didn't change, but he felt that his brain seemed to be a little swollen and painful, and he also keenly felt that his nose was hot, as if there was a nosebleed coming out.
Not having time to bother with these feelings, he bent sideways, dodged an attack that grazed overhead, and then rolled forward for two consecutive rolls.
Dull ringing!
The two ferocious tentacles and the tightly connected bone blades were directly nailed to Xia Ran's original location, sinking deep into the ground, at least half a meter deep!
Xia Ran, who had successfully completed a dodge judgment again, gritted his teeth and quickly stood up straight in front of him, and his face, which was pale due to excessive blood loss, also showed obvious pain.
Blood poured from the back of his chest, and the injury, which had not been any better, seemed to break larger and worsen more rapidly...... If he continued like this, even if he didn't fight, he wouldn't be able to last a few minutes.
But he is now very close to the goal, but this is often the most dangerous time...... Then came the real gamble.
Izumi Shinichi was also desperate at the moment, desperately rushing forward, Ah Yousheng entangled half of the tentacles of the combined monster, although Goto wanted to kill Xia Ran first, but the latter always seemed to be able to avoid its attacks dangerously.
If he completely concentrated his strength, then he would definitely be able to kill Xia Ran, no matter how strong his dodge ability was, it would be impossible to avoid all the attacks coming from all directions.
It's like it's impossible for humans to avoid raindrops falling from the sky.
But right now, if this monster really dares to completely concentrate on attacking Xia Ran and ignore the choice of Izumi Shinichi, then Ah You, who is attacking with all his strength, will be able to directly cut it into a stick!
The opposite side suddenly turned on the offensive, and Goto became in a hurry, not to mention that it had to keep Izumi Shinichi's body intact to ensure that he could survive later, so he had to divide more tentacles to suppress Izumi Shinichi's side.
It can be said that it is precisely because of his companions to share the firepower that Xia Ran is qualified to make the next big gamble.
Otherwise, he would have been killed right out of the box...... Even though Goto has obviously fallen into a desperate situation, it is precisely because he is dying that he is fighting back that he is particularly crazy.
The bone blade cut through layers of air, slashing at Goto's neck and the limbs that connected the torso, and at this distance, Xia Ran had no intention of keeping it anymore, and his injuries were about to be unable to support it.
The alienated left hand leaned out with all his might, no longer choosing to defend, but attacking with all his might.
Goto only had time to move his body half a minute, and the next moment, its shoulder was slashed by a bone blade...... However, it only took two or three centimeters to freeze.
The body of this combined monster is covered with a layer of brown color at a very fast speed, and the cells of the parasitic beast are assimilating the surrounding cells, and they have chosen to harden, which is enough defense against bullets!
"Didn't expect that, did you?!"
Goto laughed, and some of the tissues that had been cut down squirmed and contracted tightly, biting one of the other party's tentacles.
Xia Ran's face changed slightly, his left hand went crazy and went berserk, and a tentacle broke through the encirclement and nailed through Goto's chest fiercely!
But it was only a part of the hardening of the periphery, and you could see a hideous hole in the left chest, and the ribs were clinged to a blur of flesh, and you could see the heart beating in the chest......
- But that's just a little bit worse.
Goto's tentacles wrapped around it tightly, preventing it from moving any further, and slashing it neatly! The tentacles with the bony blades fell to the ground, writhing like snakes weakly.
The next moment, Xia Ran only felt a sharp pain suddenly coming from his left chest!
Goto's tentacle stabbed straight through Kozuo's tentacle after severing it, piercing his heart with a direct blow, and a sharp bone blade pierced out of his back.
He did not succeed in piercing the heart of the enemy......
But the enemy scornfully pierced his heart in turn......
Xia Ran's whole person seemed to lose his strength all of a sudden, blood spurted out of his mouth and nose together, and his right arm also fell weakly.
And the tentacle that had pierced his body slowly withdrew like a python, and pulled his body back to Goto along with his body. Although Xia Ran's alienated left hand was still struggling violently, Goto used his spare tentacles to easily suppress it.
"Stupid human, you think this is your chance?"
Goto raised Xia Ran's body in front of his eyes, ignoring the hysterical roar of Izumi Shinichi not far away, the main body on his head squirmed, and all the tentacles shrank back, as if he was about to mimic a bloody mouth.
"Let's use you to replenish a little blood first, and your companions will become a part of me."
“…… I've already had Xiao Zuo shift my heart before, so ......"
The voice of forced pain came, Goto looked at the human in front of him who was not completely dead in amazement, and then felt a pain in the left chest of his body, as if some foreign object was forcibly squeezed into the hole that had not yet healed.
It subconsciously looked down and saw that a cold grenade launcher was right there.
And the most terrible thing is that half of its tentacles are entangled with Izumi Shinichi, the other half of the tentacles are suppressing Xiao Zuo, and the tentacles of the main part of the head have just been retracted, ready to be re-mimicked.
As if it had been calculated and arranged a long time ago, at this moment, it actually had no way to stop it!
“…… You're dead. ”
