Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hanging Up Is the Romance of Hand Cripples
Because the town is close to the sea, the natural scenery is beautiful, and the ecology of many places is well preserved, so it is not difficult to find a quiet and hidden place.
And Xia Ran had done some homework before, so now it is naturally easier to find a good place to do it, the terrain is very superior, although it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is really suitable for ambushes, traps and other ways.
Another thing is that if something can't be done, this is also a good place for the ambush party to turn around and run, and if you follow a pre-determined route, it will be difficult for even parasitic beasts to catch up......
Mamoru Uda listened to Xia Ran's introduction to the benefits of this place, and listened to him quickly explain what to do in the event of an unexpected situation, and which direction and route to quickly escape...... a strategic retreat, and what you can use along the way to stop the enemy from pursuing......
And so on and so forth, such a situation.
Just listening to this, this fat man couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, could it be that this is a real professional? If the roles of the two sides are reversed, I'm afraid that he won't even have such an idea at all, and even if he runs away, he will at most turn around and run, and he won't think about so many complicated issues.
No wonder this high school student was able to become a parasitic beast hunter, but wasn't he still studying before? Why do you have these unnecessary skills?
Mamoru Uda naturally didn't know how many strange things Xia Ran had dabbled in for some reason-
was once killed on the battlefield, and he specifically looked for relevant materials on war to study; Having struggled in the wilderness, he dedicated himself to learning about survival in the wilderness......
Although he has forgotten many things himself, the remaining skills and knowledge that he can still remember are the kind that he has mastered in depth, after all, the sinister environment is really very training.
Especially during the previous period, it was impossible for him to fight hard with the parasitic beast, even if he used righteous means to backstab, there was also a danger of capsizing, and the probability of capsizing was quite high.
- As long as there are too many times, it is impossible not to have problems, and there will definitely be a day when you miss out.
Maybe three or two hunts won't be a problem, but if it continues like that, Xia Ran will definitely overturn, maybe next time...... That's why he made the decision to equip that special piece of equipment at the cost of his left hand.
But it is precisely because of this that he will carefully plan the back road every time, instead of simply setting a trap and trapping himself in it, and once he fails to successfully trap the target, he will lose his own life.
He wasn't so stupid, if the situation wasn't right, he would still choose to run away immediately...... Strategic retreat.
This is because parasitic beasts attack very quickly, but they don't necessarily move much faster than humans. As long as they keep a distance and are not within the attack range of their tentacles, then there is still a good chance that they will escape.
Especially when the complete parasitic beast shows an attacking stance, it will almost only stand still in place. In the original book, Izumi Shinichi walked slowly over with a sharpened metal table leg, and was able to insert the table leg into the parasitic beast's boarding body without any technical content, and hit it with a fatal blow.
Therefore, Xia Ran's proficiency in choosing ambush terrain and designing retreat routes has improved quite quickly during this time.
It's just that although he behaves so casually, Izumi Shinichi on the other side doesn't feel this way at all.
……
……
About ten minutes later.
A high school student is cautiously tiptoeing through the woods outside the town.
The dead branches and leaves under his feet were like a thin carpet, making a slight clicking sound with his steps. The surroundings are extremely secluded, and the occasional wind blows, making the trees rustle.
Drops of sweat unconsciously secreted from the door of his head, and Quan Xin held his breath consciously.
He lowered his voice slowly, not knowing who he was asking, "Those two parasitic beasts...... Where are they now? Still around? ”
"It's nearby, and it's constantly changing direction, and it's not going to stay in the same direction...... Shinichi, I think you should leave as quickly as possible right now. ”
The alienation of his right hand showed the fighting state of a parasitic beast, while also admonishing him in a calm tone.
Because Ah You judged very rationally that once there was a battle in the future, his side would have no chance of winning.
“……”
“……”
Izumi Shinichi didn't speak, although he seemed cautious, but the anxiety and impetuousness in his face and eyes couldn't be concealed, he didn't have a way to think rationally now, he just wanted to see the results as quickly as possible, and deny the possibility that his parents had become parasitic beasts.
Ah You has no feelings, otherwise, he would probably be thunderous now.
However, as a very different species from humans, it does not do these meaningless and futile acts, even if it knows that it is simply going to die and dragging itself along, but it also knows that infighting is useless without being able to change the behavior of the host.
The current bad situation will not get better because of the accusations and scolding, but will only get worse. So it didn't say anything more, just rationally thinking about what to do next is the best choice.
Another ten minutes or so passed.
Quan Shinichi was already sweating profusely, his face was slightly pale, although he didn't exercise too hard, but in this case, he still subconsciously held his breath, his heart beat faster, slowed down, looked at the six roads, and listened to all directions......
Even if it didn't work, Ah You reminded him that it was pointless, except for making the physical strength consumption close to the limit, but he just couldn't control it.
Coupled with the inevitable tension and panic, these factors are also very large for the consumption of mental energy, but the two parasitic beasts on the opposite side seem to be wandering and moving all the time, changing directions, and even Ah You can't accurately lock a direction.
He can only stalemate in this situation, wasting his energy and mind in vain.
Before I knew it, and I didn't know how much time had passed, it seemed that the sun was about to sink all behind the horizon.
- Whoosh!
Just when Izumi Shinichi felt in a trance, his attention began to become difficult to concentrate, and he seemed to be able to fall asleep at any time, a certain movement of the wind suddenly sounded in his ears!
It looks like there's something dormant about to burst out and hurt people! At this moment, the air was quickly broken!
Izumi Shinichi, who was in a trance, could barely react, but subconsciously he still inexplicably made up a poisonous snake hidden in a tree, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on himself who passed by, and his writhing slender body slashed through the air like lightning......
- Sonorous!
It was as if the sound of the clashing of gold and iron sounded, reminiscent of the scene where the swords collided under the fierce swing, and perhaps the violent sparks burst out, making Izumi Shinichi suddenly feel a burst of tinnitus.
His nervous reflexes couldn't keep up at all, except for the sound of a whoosh, then the clanging of swords, and then the drag of his right hand, which seemed to be a beat slower.
Because his right hand suddenly danced on its own, as if the arm itself was made of rubber, with incomparable malleability, it differentiated into two long tentacles, both of which were nearly ten meters long, and the tip was alienated into a sharp bone blade.
The speed of the dance was no longer even a remnant, and Izumi Shinichi couldn't see where the attack was coming from at all, only feeling the strong wind blowing in his face, but he subconsciously half-narrowed his eyes.
"Ahhhh——!!h
At this moment, a strange shout came from behind him, and Izumi had time to look back.
He saw a man with a somewhat fat figure who appeared behind him at some point, his face was full of a combination of clenched teeth and a strange expression of hard scalping, obviously it seemed that he was afraid to resist, but he still forced himself to rush over very bravely.
In such a process, the man's chin quickly stretched and deformed like dough, alienating long tentacles and bone blades that shimmered with cold light.
- This is the second parasitic beast?!
Izumi Xinyi's heart sank, but he could only watch as the parasitic beast rushed over and attacked, and he couldn't do anything.
Sonorous!
The piercing sound of the collision of gold and iron was heard, and just at the last moment, it was his right hand that rushed to the rescue, trying his best to defend himself, and he was able to block the attack from behind......
But if it's one-on-one, Ah Youyi can indeed support a perfect defense, but if it's one-on-two, it's also a mess...... Two fists are invincible to four hands, and the parasitic beast can't stand the group fight.
And the condition of the host is already very poor, and there is not much energy to continue to supply......
Therefore, although Izumi Shinichi's right hand was able to block the attack from behind, the previous defense line was naturally broken through.
However, two seconds later, a fist slammed into the high school student's cheek, causing his glasses to fly up, and his brain felt an unusually strong dizziness, and then he simply fainted and lost consciousness.
"Huh?"
Xia Ran withdrew his fist, his expression was so stunned that it seemed that he was the one who was beaten, this is a blind cat touching a dead mouse? Could it be that this guy's own energy and mind have been exhausted to the limit?
It should be, he didn't think he would have that much strength...... But it's okay, as if it was planned, Izumi Shinichi has lost the ability to act.
This is also an important part of the decision from the beginning, because Xia Ran is really a little frightened by this creature called "protagonist", especially the combat system. Theoretically, they can slaughter gods against the sky with a pig-killing knife, and all difficulties are paper tigers in front of them.
What if you really fight slowly and give Izumi a chance, maybe the other party will suddenly explode and kill him? Xia Ran didn't dare to take risks, he had delayed it for so long before, just to consume Quan Shinichi's mental energy as much as possible, and then solve the other party as quickly as possible after the war.
Izumi Shinichi passed out in a coma, but his right hand was still stubbornly resisting......
It's a pity that under the strength of the two parasitic beasts on Xia Ran's side, Izumi Shinichi's right hand was not able to hold out for a few more seconds in the end.
After the whole battle, it can be said that there is no danger or danger, and there is not much worth talking about-
Because it was the parasitic beast in charge of the battle, the speed was so fast that even Xia Ran could barely see the afterimage. It's like turning on an automatic battle.,When you encounter a monster, you trigger an animation.,And then the winner is decided.。
He didn't do it himself, and he couldn't even see it clearly, so naturally there was nothing worth explaining.
