Chapter 14: Shock

Skoro's avatar is called "Impact", and he looks like a shark in armor.

Unlike the Crimson King, who Li Qing had previously encountered, with a range of only 2 meters, this "Shark" named "Impact" is a long-range manipulative double - it can fight enemies at a distance of 50 meters from the main body under the mind control of Shi Klo.

While Li Qing was cautiously guarding the main body of Shi Aoluo, which was 50 meters away, the "shark" named "Impact" had already appeared silently in the stagnant water not far from Li Qing's feet with its treacherous stand-in ability.

Eventually, it launched an attack on the orders of Skaro.

"Hahaha."

Skalo laughed secretly in his heart:

"If it's an ordinary stand-in messenger, you must be able to detect the existence of "impact" at a glance and understand the stand-in ability of "impact"."

"But you..."

"Li Qing, you are a blind man!"

"The most important thing in stand-in combat is intelligence, you can't even see it, how can you read my stand-in ability?"

In order to make the data indestructible, Li Qing chose to sacrifice his eyesight.

His superior hearing perception can largely compensate for the disadvantage of his blindness, but the amount of information that this image can carry is not something that sound can replace.

Like now:

The "impact" lurked silently beside Li Qing, and appeared at his feet in a grand manner, and he didn't even notice it.

It wasn't until the "Impact" showed its sharp and hard shark teeth and swooped out of the stagnant water on the deck that Li Qing finally sensed the enemy's presence from the fierce air flow brought by the opponent's attack.

"Something is coming at me?!"

"It is impossible for a human being to carry such a small wind, and it is impossible for a human to be so fast."

Although he couldn't see the situation, he could hear it from the sound of the air moving:

"That's right..."

"It's a stand-in attack!"

He instinctively tried to dodge sideways, but it was too late.

The little "shark" named "Impact" had erupted at an extreme speed fast enough to drag out the phantom.

It first jumped out of the stagnant water on the deck at high speed, and then bit through Li Qing's throat in an instant.

The health value displayed on the system interface in Li Qing's mind instantly dropped from 100% to 88%.

Instinctively, he threw his fist into the air with the bizarre stand-in that was frantically biting at his throat.

However, it's only the next moment...

The enemy stand-in who was biting his throat just now and refused to let go disappeared silently.

It's not dodging, it's not hiding, it's just evaporating from the world and disappearing out of thin air.

Li Qing threw his fist with all his might, but in the end, he only hit a piece of empty air.

"Where?"

"Where did that thing go?"

He tensed his nerves and listened to everything around him as best he could.

"First, sir..."

"What are you doing here?"

Andrew asked nervously.

Ordinary people can't see the stand-in, but they can see all kinds of strange scenes caused by the stand-in's attack.

All, in the eyes of poor Mr. Andrew, Li Qing was just like a mentally ill who suddenly went crazy-

He first twisted his neck and fell backwards inexplicably, and then quickly straightened up as if he had been electrocuted, putting on a strange expression of "fighting wits and courage with the air".

"Oh God!"

"I can't run into a psycho with a gun, do I?"

Andrew was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, but Li Qing didn't have time to take care of the hostage's emotions at all.

He was trying his best to analyze all the clues that might be useful to the outcome of the battle from the meagre information he had:

"There is no sound..."

"I didn't hear anything before that stand-in attacked."

"And just as I was fighting back, it disappeared from my perception so silently."

"Is it the ability to move at high speeds?"

"No!"

"As long as you move your body, you definitely bring air flow. As long as there is air movement, there will definitely be a faint wind sound. ā€

"And at such a close distance, no sound can escape my ears."

"So, if its stand-in ability isn't 'Silence Voice', it's—"

"Teleport!"

Li Qing quickly made a judgment and reluctantly deduced the enemy's stand-in ability.

But the enemy that disappeared into his perception didn't give him a chance to breathe, and under the manipulation of Skoyaro, "Impact" soon launched a second attack.

And Shi Quearo bullied Li Qing blindly, and directly manipulated the "impact" to appear from a small stagnant water beach in front of him.

In such a close position, Li Qing had no way to fight back without being able to catch the enemy's movements in advance.

"Impact" jumped onto Li Qing's thigh, and with its sharp and cold shark teeth, it easily tore Li Qing's flesh and blood.

The wound healed instantaneously under the ability of data-based rules, and not even a trace of blood oozed.

But the bright blood trough suspended above Li Qing's head was actually reduced by more than 10% of the blood volume under this blow.

Before he could react, the "impact" disappeared again into thin air like a naughty elf playing with children, using its strange and unpredictable stand-in abilities to disappear again.

"It's gone again..."

"This guy is cunning."

Li Qing sighed softly:

Counting the attack that hit the vital point of the throat just now, his health has been knocked out by a full three-thirds.

And now he is like a heavy and sluggish stone, unable to keep up with the speed of the enemy, unable to see the enemy's movements, unable to hear the enemy's voice, the only thing he can do is to stand there stunned and beaten and abused.

The situation seems to be extremely dangerous, but...

After a sigh that was neither light nor heavy, Li Qing's face showed a smile instead.

This is a smile that opens the clouds and sees the moon:

"Good... I already have a clue! ā€

"Judging by the sound of the air currents it brought up when it attacked: the location where it first teleported was about a dozen centimeters behind me;"

"The location of its second attack was on my side, and it was still a few tens of centimeters away from me."

"And it's worth noting that it never appears directly in the air, but jumps off the deck every time to attack."

"If the enemy's ability is simply 'teleportation', then why doesn't it just teleport to me and attack at the closest distance?"

"In that case, I won't have time to react."

"I don't want to put the best position to attack, but I have to appear on the deck at a different distance from me beforehand, which means..."

"There must be a limit to the enemy's teleportation ability!"

"It's likely that it needs to use something on the deck, with the help of some special terrain, to be able to teleport."

"And this thing is..."

Li Qing tentatively shifted his foot and stepped on the position where "Impact" had just appeared.

Then, he immediately discerned what he was stepping on at the moment from the subtle touch coming from under his feet:

"Water!"

"The medium through which the enemy teleports is water!"

"So, the enemy's stand-in ability is..."

After two rounds of beatings in vain, Li Qing finally made up for his disadvantage in eyesight:

"Use water as a medium to teleport between "water" and "water"!"
