003 Rainy Day (3)
003
Phew-
Z, z,
The blades of the axes were sharp, and the claws were hard, and after they collided, they snapped together, making a piercing and sharp sound like fingernails scratching at a blackboard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Xiaoqiang endured the discomfort and tried to pull the fire axe, but found that the fire axe was stuck between the ghoul's only remaining right fingers, and was caught by it, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out and cut it constantly.
Although he had known that the ghoul had sharp claws, Zhang Xiao didn't expect it to be able to block the fire axe—his axe had broken the bones of another ghoul in one fell swoop.
But if you look closely, the ghoul in front of you is not comfortable, compared to Zhang Xiao's physical strength, it can't completely ignore the power of the fire axe, the claws are constantly cracking, and the only remaining muscles are cut from the wounds that continue to flow thick gray-brown blood, the color of the blood is darker and more viscous than the previous smaller ghouls.
In Zhang Xiao's setting, the ghouls' blood is the source of their vitality, almost like humans, the heart will supply blood to all parts of the body, providing them with vitality, the difference is yes, they need not oxygen in the blood but dark energy combined with the blood.
The darker the color and the more viscous the blood, the more dark energy it has, which means that the ghoul is stronger.
The constant loss of blood can be devastating for ghouls, and even more so for powerful ghouls, as the total amount of blood for ghouls is almost always the same.
It's just that even so, the monster in front of him has no intention of letting go at all.
"What is it doing?"
Zhang Xiao was puzzled in his heart, he didn't think that an unknown existence would even change this basic setting.
But he didn't even think that the monster in front of him was stupid.
Zhang Xiao tried his best to resist the ghoul while thinking, his eyes unconsciously swept over the place where the fire axe and the claws intersected, swept the ghoul's red eyes, swept over the ghoul's exposed white bones, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He kind of understood.
The ghoul was afraid, and it was afraid of the fire axe in his hand.
"I see, under the fire axe, even its hardest claws are not completely undamaged, let alone those body bones that are more fragile at a glance."
"It seems that the unknown existence does not turn him into an invincible monster, but also gives it weakness."
Zhang Xiao, who had figured it out, added a lot of force to his hand, and the muscles that had been deprived of heat by the rain and became numb tensed again.
Now he didn't want to end the stalemate like this, although his physical strength was at the bottom, but the ghoul's blood was its life essence, and the more it flowed, the weaker it became, and if it was exhausted, it would even die.
While it's dominated by fear, it's not necessarily a good thing to drag it out like this.
When it is weaker and unable to grasp the fire axe, it may be able to hack it to death in one fell swoop with the axe drawn.
The torrential rain was pouring, the thunder and lightning were missing, and the dim light made it difficult to see clearly from a distance, and even though the sewers were developed, the rain still allowed the rain to gradually accumulate on the ground, with a shallow layer.
As the minutes passed, not only the ground, but also the crippled ghoul and a human who were eerily stalemate in the rainstorm.
In the sound of the blade and the claw rubbing, feeling the cold rain, Zhang Xiao's heart began to sink gradually, his body became colder and colder, and the numbness had come back at some point.
"Oh, I seem to be too self-righteous." Look into the eyes of the ghouls exposed by the red rays, and feel the power of the fire axe—the immense power that does not diminish with the passage of time; Zhang Xiao's heart is getting colder and colder.
I don't know if I noticed his weakness, but the power from the fire axe gradually increased, and I didn't care that the gray-brown blood splattered like a blood collapse.
Looking at each other in a trance, Zhang Xiao suddenly had an illusion, he seemed to be able to detect the monster's exuberant emotions.
"Roar!!"
The ghoul who was close at hand roared, and subconsciously, Zhang Xiao's numb nerves shook, and he pressed down the clenched fire axe again, but this time, it was no longer even resistance, but a terrible sense of emptiness.
Phew-
"Oops!"
The fire axe slashed into the clearing, and the splash of rain stones hit him in the face, and it was cold to his heart.
Zhang Xiao knew that he had been tricked, and the ghoul actually took the first step to retract his strength, luring him to have an unstable center of gravity and unable to retract his strength.
It was so cunning, cunning to lay a trap!
But Zhang Xiao immediately woke up, there was no time for him to feel sorry for himself, and the hunter who laid the trap would not give the prey the slightest respite.
Suppressing the chill churning in his heart, he did not hesitate to let go of the fire axe, not caring too much, and fell towards the right rear.
The next moment, the rain curtain shattered like a fallen porcelain, and a bone claw suddenly attacked from the darkness, dangerous and dangerous, Zhang Xiao escaped from under the claw at the last moment, and he and the bone claw could smell the blood on it.
He was almost killed!
"Whew, it's good that this monster only has its right hand." Zhang Xiao hurriedly took advantage of the ghoul's inconvenience to stand up, looking at the ghoul's broken arm, his face showed a trace of happiness and fear, as well as a deep haze.
He didn't lose his mind in the excitement of escaping death, because he knew that the situation was not getting better, or rather, worse.
Zhang Xiao looked at the location where the fire axe fell, but the ghoul had already adjusted his center of gravity and immediately moved sideways, consciously using his body to cover the fire axe tightly, and could only vaguely see an axe handle.
Da, da,
Obviously, there was only one hand left, and it was not easy to move left and right, but those red eyes flashed, in addition to the obvious bloodthirsty desire, more than overflowing mockery.
Zhang Xiao's face was ugly, this monster obviously did not move him out of the blue, but advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, completely grasping the initiative.
The only good news now is that the ghoul only has one arm left, and the claws are injured, and the blood flowing out covers the nearby ground, looking at its slow movements, you know that its state is definitely not good, but Zhang Xiao really doesn't know how to deal with this monster without the fire axe.
Zhang Xiao didn't give up, he forced himself to calm down, tensed his muscles, stared closely at the monster crawling back and forth, stared at its back, he knew that only when the monster attacked, dodging the attack and taking back the fire axe at the same time could he have a chance of survival.
But, the monster didn't give him this chance.
Under the icy rain curtain, the hot blood that had just boiled on the line of life and death slowly cooled, the adrenaline subsided, the numbness and soreness regained the upper hand, Zhang Xiao's legs didn't feel it again, this time he noticed it at the first time, but he couldn't do anything.
Da, da,
The monster still staggered back and forth, unhurried, and a little leisurely, with bloodthirsty desire and mockery in its eyes, but no further action, just waiting.
Zhang Xiao felt that his physical state fell back to the end again, his mouth was full of bitterness, the wisdom of the monster in front of him was far beyond his imagination, and he completely suppressed his bloodthirsty nature and did not attack, so he did not give him a trace of hope of turning the tables.
He knew that he would no longer be able to dodge any attack from the ghouls, so he simply straightened up and stopped acting defensively.
But the monster still didn't attack, I don't know if it was because I was worried that Zhang Xiao was playing a trick to show weakness to the enemy.
Zhang Xiao shook his head a little funny, but he didn't care, he didn't have much fear of facing death, although he was unwilling and angry before, but in this last moment, he only had peace left, calmly waiting for death to come.
Da, da,
The ghoul looked at Zhang Xiao, still crawling from side to side, still not attacking, still not speaking, like an ordinary monster.
Zhang Xiao was not impatient, but observed the monster in front of him that was so special in every aspect.
It is so powerful, beyond his design, and so intelligent, and repeatedly breaks his imagination, even so cautious, cautious and desperate.
It is an unknown being, based on his imagination, and has added countless designs to complete the perfect creation.
But looking at it, Zhang Xiao's brows slowly furrowed, and he looked at the monster's right hand with only his upper arm, and slowly pursed his lips.
Scenes replayed in his mind, from the beginning when the ghoul slid past him because it rushed too fast, to the time when it severed its own arm and used its strange claw ability, to the end when it was a step slower, allowing Zhang Xiao to kill the smaller ghoul before it could return.
It all seemed so normal when it happened, but it doesn't seem so normal now.
Because in this scene, the ghouls in front of them are too stupid, as stupid as their kind.
However, it is not at all the same as its kind!
"You...... In disguise? Zhang Xiao was a little hesitant, more puzzled, "Why?" ”
Da, da,
The ghoul was still crawling from side to side, looking a little embarrassed, the mockery in his eyes still there.
Zhang Xiao looked at its cautious appearance, looked at its mocking eyes, and gradually, had some thoughts in his heart.
"Are you showing weakness?" Zhang Xiao shook his head and denied this answer himself, "No, you didn't know that my fire axe could kill you at first, you can't be showing weakness to me." ”
"So...... Are you just playing weak? Zhang Xiao felt that this explanation seemed even more bizarre.
Da, da,
The ghoul looked at Zhang Xiao without saying anything, but the mocking look in his eyes became even stronger.
"Who are you playing for? Could it be ......" Zhang Xiao looked at the sky, unsure if the monster in front of him was aware of its creator, "No, maybe you're playing it for your companions?" ”
Da, da
Zhang Xiao guessed casually, but he didn't want the monster in front of him to pause slightly, its eyes were more focused, and the bloodthirsty desire in his eyes skyrocketed, which made his heart move, and he had a ridiculous and terrible conjecture in his mind.
Zhang Xiao lowered his head, stared closely at the blood-red eyes of the monster in front of him, and asked word by word: "Could it be that you are ......?"
