Chapter 16: Why Are You So Skilled? How many times have you done it?
The broken blade of the axe split the skull and stirred it violently, sending black blood and rotten brains splattering in all directions.
The axe had been pulled out without hesitation, and then slashed, tearing open the troll's neck and cutting off the bone marrow with the strange sound of Kaz, but the heavy piece of flesh was stronger and more pliable than expected, and the axe blade bounced a little opener, so that part of the axe blade that hit the ground broke with a crisp sound! Wang Julin frowned, casually poked half of the axe into the monster's heart, until the rotten flesh of the humanoid in front of him stagnated the last twitch, and then let out a breath of relaxation.
"You've been hurt by an unknown cause, with unknown attributes."
"You killed the mutant dream? Peanut tun improved. ”
Putting aside the strange and painful name, the prompt in the status bar in the line of sight should not be wrong.
So, that's it...... Did you win?
There was a tingling pain from the wound on his waist that had been strangled by the steel rope, and the buzzing in his ears was slowly dull...... However, the fatigue was unexpectedly less, so even if the huge mass of dead flesh was at his feet, it could not make Wang Julin feel the slightest joy of dying and resurrecting. Because this victory will come too quickly, too simply, too easily, too ......
Unreal.
Whether it's smashing the monster with the door panel, pushing and smashing, or snatching the big axe's chopping ...... Neither wisdom nor skill, but overwhelming power - but where does the power come from?
Wang Julin stretched out his hand and pressed a machine beside him. The five fingers hooked, and with a slight tear, the shell of the machine was ripped off with a squeak.
It's not tinplate, it's not a lightweight aluminum alloy, it's a brushed steel with a thickness of more than five millimeters, but with the movement of your fingers, the steel bar changes shape like paper, bending and curling, and even when you pull it with both hands, the steel bar is slowly stretched with a subtle creak!
This power is indeed one's own.
So the strength value of 12 is considered a lot?
Hand torn steel plate ...... If 12 points of strength have such an effect, wouldn't 16 points of agility be enough to fly off the wall? But the truth is that earlier, even if he ran with all his might, it took at least seven or eight seconds to run 100 meters, and the height of the jump on the spot did not exceed one meter.
Could it be that this monster is just a façade, but in fact it is very weak?
Of course, it is not possible, even if the muscles are weak, the volume is still there. Taking a step back, even if it's really a variant of Bib Gourmand (I don't know the name, you can use Michelin tires), the tuning groove behind it can't collapse on its own, right?
The most plausible explanation...... It's just the spiritual infection caused by the 'fourth-level mutant' on the ground, and the changes that are generated?
Wang Julin shook his head and wanted to shake off this chilling thought, but unfortunately the thoughts stuck to his mind like gel, and the more he didn't think about it, the clearer it became. So he sighed, turned off the warning in the status bar, and prepared to leave.
But there was another pause.
"You've been hurt by an unknown cause, with unknown attributes."
At the same time that all information was closed, a new entry just happened.
It's simple and familiar - this warning comes up more than once when entering the underground base, when killing a monster, when blocking the vicious sneak attack, and even when he kills the troll.
But now the message has taken on a new meaning.
Because Wang Julin finally understood what this 'damage with unknown attributes' was--as he twisted the steel bar into a ball and prepared to discard it, on the status bar, his original experience value in his early 700s jumped to 698, and when he tried to straighten the steel bar again, this value jumped even more cheerfully!
…… Gain strength at the expense of experience points?
What kind of ability is that?
……
"Can you hear me? Brother? The demon bear shouted, "If you can't speak, you can make some noise." ”
He walked slowly through the passageway, distancing himself from the crowd. Although the footsteps were leisurely, the body hair that originally covered only part of the shoulders and backs had now extended to the jaw, and even the ears had been erected into a semicircle—this was the largest form of liberation of the half-beast's bloodline, which could not only increase its strength, but also sharpen its senses by at least fifty percent.
Unfortunately, this change didn't help much.
The smell of blood and the smell of mist filled the eye as far as the eye could see, as if it had turned it into an otherworldly space. Even the shouting quickly diminished at the moment of exit. The subtle echoes of the distant silence are dissipated, flickering away and near, stirring the fear in the heart, leaving behind silent and vicious questions.
How many monsters are there in this gray and white?
The commotion a moment earlier cost Team Eden two more members. One of them died silently, leaving only the grayed out name on the personnel list. The other was dragged into the fog in full view of everyone - so quickly that even the demon bear's enhanced eyesight saw only a shadow. What's even more terrifying is that each of the Dispatcher's 'Scouting' skills failed to detect the presence of any creatures in advance, and even the two observers wearing night vision devices didn't notice anything suspicious in the fog.
So the demon bear decided to lure the snake out of the hole.
It's too dangerous to keep a monster that can't be checked, but can destroy that large adjustment slot. If it is broken during the elevator ascent, it will not only kill people, but also cut off the approach. So even if you can't find a more suitable bait candidate than him, the leader of the team, you can only take a risk.
Unfortunately, just a few minutes later, he was already wondering if it was the right decision.
Even when they were a considerable distance away from the group, even if they shouted loudly, the surroundings were still in dead silence, and the monster continued to hide as if it had seen through this clumsy trick, allowing time to slowly stir up the anxiety in the hearts of the modulators—'Not far enough from the others?' The monster has left after killing someone? Or...... Those monsters have high intelligence enough to tell the strength of their opponents? Should you choose to leave in batches instead of wasting time here? ’
The demon bear clenched his fingers and suppressed the distracting thoughts.
Even if you can't lure the enemy, it's nice to find that level 0 newcomer?
For the mediators, the resurrection is only part of the expedition, so it is customary not to search for the missing unless necessary. But now the Miss Firebee is quite insistent - it is not difficult for the demon bear to understand, after all, such newcomers are indeed rare, if they can......
The demon bear's eyelids twitched.
Thinking about it, he turned his head in the direction of the firebee - not to see how he didn't turn around. It's just a subconscious action, but in this subconscious, the afterglow of the eyes captures a little darkness!
It is so subtle that it flashes like a suspended matter in the lens, but the nerves of the person who adjusts it are tense! The right leg is withdrawn, the left paw is forward, and the movement is casual and natural, as if you have chased away the worm.
There was a soft clanging sound, and something flew off the tip of the claw. But the power of the return made his wrist sink.
This bug ...... It's not small.
"Here we are......" Demon Bear shouted in a deep voice.
The shadow of the huge black shadow then split through the mist and collided with him with a sharp and huge thud!
The soreness and numbness from the muscles of his hands shocked the demon bear's heart...... In general, he should dodge and his companion tackles the opponent with a gun. But the shadow was too close! If you don't block the opponent's weapon before the opponent's movement begins, you will never be able to escape the swing of the long axe in the opponent's hand!
There was no need to think about it, and there was no time to think about it, the instincts cultivated in the battle had already driven his movements.
The blade claw sliced deep into the arm-thick hilt of the axe, and the monster's massive body shook with it. But the demon bear did not have the slightest joy to gain the upper hand - the humanoid monster instantly released its left hand holding the axe and grabbed him! He could only shake his hand and restore his claws into bracelets, while rolling a few meters to the right side!
"Shoot!"
The demon bear shouted, cold sweat already on his forehead - the mist seemed to have thinned, and the figure of his companion was faintly visible, with the tacit understanding between them, there was no need for an order, but now even if he shouted, the help did not come! What's even more terrifying is that when the shout falls, the huge monster has been covered by a surging white mist, and it has disappeared!
Could it be that this giant monster that seems to be a biochemical creation has the ability to become completely invisible? Or even block a target? It's over the scene level!
Smack!
It was very muffled, like the sound of breaking a bamboo pole that was wrapped in layers, tearing apart and wondering...... At this sound, vanished trolls swooped out of the mist!
The demon bear bows and raises its claws.
But a second voice was heard, a roar.
The colossal monster has fallen...... In other words, it was not pounced, but poured - in the middle of the two thick legs, it was bulging forward and bending into a strange angle, so that the huge body of three meters high also lost its balance, and no matter how much it struggled, it could only move forward and slam into the ground!
But how can the leg bones bend forward?
For there was a metal plate—one hundred and seventy centimeters long, eighty centimeters wide, four centimeters thick, with a slight curvature—that slashed at the monster's calf! Then he was lifted high and stabbed...... Or rather, it smashed into the back of the monster's shoulder, which was exposed by the forward lunge, and made a dull and piercing bone cracking sound.
It is impossible for the metal plate to fly up and smash the monster on its own, so of course there is a person behind it.
Maybe...... Not an individual?
The demon bear blinked—he would have rubbed it if the situation allowed—to make sure he wasn't dazzled. Because in the field of vision, the man was stepping on the troll's back. The seemingly insignificant action made the monster that had just stood up hit the ground again! But the man bent down, grabbed the axe from the monster's hand, and pulled it backwards to snatch it!
Pick it up, slash it into the monster's head, and slam it back!
The crunch of Gaba Gaba was tooth-aching, the axe split the skull, splitting the neck down to the spine, and shredded flesh and jet-black blood poured from the crack, revealing gray bones and medulla oblongats! The axe handle that had been cut off in half by the demon bear immediately snapped, making the man stunned slightly, but casually stabbed the half of the axe handle into the back of the monster's heart.
The series of movements was extremely familiar, and in a single breath, the tall and terrifying monster had turned into twitching dead flesh on the ground!
Then, he turned around and raised his hand—the Demon Bear subconsciously raised his weapon, only to notice that it was just a greeting: "Oh, Brother Demon Bear, thanks to your help...... I thought this was going to be the end of the game, it scared the hell out of me......"
I help?
Does watching the excitement count as helping?
Are you scared to death?
You're super good, right?
You're hanging, aren't you? Don't think you can't see it if you pretend to coax others! I'm going to report you to the company!
Staring at the guy who was excited, the demon bear's Adam's apple slid a few times before finally suppressing the howl in his heart: "You...... How is this ......?"
"Oh, actually, I also saw a weakness and tried to give it a moment, but this thing is sluggish, and it ignores others when it focuses on a target...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get close to him. ”
"Can you see me?"
"Why not? Although this smoke is a bit of a trouble......"
The demon bear kept his mouth shut, because the other party's answer and performance would only confuse him.
Weakness? Level 0 newcomers see weaknesses, do they have the courage to attack that kind of troll? What kind of training do newcomers have to do if they have this guts? Can you see that monster and knock it over with one blow? And the last axe, why can you chop so skillfully? How many monsters have you chopped? It must be that! You're actually the kind of special forces king or something, right?
"Boss, can you hear me? Are you okay? The call in the headset interrupted the messy entanglement in his heart, and the demon bear raised his head and noticed that the fog was dissipating, and the vision within a few dozen meters was clear, and even the human voice became noisy.
"Roger, what happened?"
"It's like you've sunk into the fog, boss, and I didn't respond for more than a minute. Also, what's the matter with that guy, have you run into enemies? ”
"It's all settled." The demon bear paused and walked in the direction of the crowd: "Xiao Jin, have you heard of calling hell, and there are scenes above the level, there will be more restrictions on the adjuster, for example, lowering the level or something?" ”
“…… What are you talking about, Boss? ”
"Forget it, it's nothing."
The demon bear took a long breath.
Probably, no, it must be a coincidence, the monster may not be as powerful as it seems, the bigger the body, the easier it is to be crushed by weight, and the bones of the modified body are already brittle...... However, even if you see through this, ordinary people will definitely not be able to do this. For such people...... "From now on, you guys to the Phantom...... You're welcome. ”
"What? Boss, why do we have to look at their faces......"
……
Wang Julin's face was very bad.
Because his back hurts.
Just like a certain advertisement said, after overwork, his waist hurts and his knees are weak, and he feels that his body is hollowed out or something, it must be a woman's fault - when he slipped back to the crowd in a very low-key manner, and sighed in his heart that he was in great trouble, he was hit the waist - he was hit by the wound that was strangled by the steel rope!
"You kind of guy, just go and die."
"You're going to be in trouble if I'm dead, aren't you?"
"It's just a dozen soul powers, it's much better than letting a guy like you involve more people."
"Miss...... That, you suddenly said so many things, it's very ruining your image...... We should have nothing to the end, cutting it is a poisonous tongue or something, even if you deliberately lower your voice, it is considered a fraud............ Ah! ”
"I don't remember what I look like. Shut up! ”
"Shhh...... Stop, the hp is dropping......"
