Chapter 3: The Hunter and the Prey

Twenty-seven Hekas sprang out of the corners of the ruins, dark green eyes with a thirst for blood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Xi's heartbeat rate seemed to speed up a lot as the battle approached, in the period of the wanderer, Ye Xi would encounter a maximum of four Hekas at a time, like this situation surrounded by more than two dozen Hekas, if it happened, he could basically wait for death.

But now it was different, he was already a member of the hunters, not to mention that there was a third-order hunter standing next to him.

"Do it! Fight quickly, the movement of our battle may attract other monsters. ”

Before he finished speaking, Qin Li had already made a move, his body was like a cannonball, his feet jumped suddenly, and a Heka rushed from not far away, the speed was so fast that the Heka who was being targeted didn't have time to react at all, and was pressed under Qin Li, and the giant sword was pulled out by Qin Li at some point and inserted into Heka's head.

From the culling to the end, the whole process was only three seconds, and the difference in absolute strength made Heka powerless in front of Qin Li.

Ye Xi drew his broadsword, the blood in his body boiled like magma, he had never been so eager to fight in his bones, he stared at Heka, who was closest to him.

The Heka also seemed to sense Ye Xi's intentions, roared back, and slowly approached Ye Xi, Heka's footsteps seemed to be a battle horn in Ye Xi's ears, it waved a claw bigger than Ye Xi's head, if this claw smashed on Ye Xi's body, the best case would be to break a few bones.

The distance between one man and one beast gradually narrowed, and just when Heka was about ten meters away from Ye Xi, Heka's speed suddenly accelerated, and the corners of Qin Xi's eyes subconsciously swept over the battlefield on Ye Xi's side, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I'm afraid this Heka is an experienced monster, and there are definitely a lot of prey that have died at its hands." Qin Xi's tone was a little worried.

Heka is indeed a low-level monster, but combat can transform any creature, even if it is a pig, if it can survive the battle in the sea of blood, it may not be able to fight with humans, monsters have no intelligence, but they still have instincts, and the skill of hunting is engraved in its instincts, not necessarily much worse than those intelligent lives.

Facing such a monster, for a newcomer who has just become a hunter, it is even more terrifying than facing a higher level of hungry wolves, experienced hunters know when to strike, and... as soon as you make a move, it means that the prey is caught.

In his eyes, Heka's figure quickly enlarged, but Ye Xi's thinking was clear and terrifying, as if he was just doing a common thing at the moment.

Ye Xi moved, leaning to the right, the speed was not fast, but it happened to dodge Heka's fist, and the big knife held in his right hand raised his hand, but Heka's fist had already been withdrawn, and the big knife only had time to cut Heka's claws.

Almost at the same time, a man and a beast took a few steps back, and the first confrontation ended with Ye Xi having a slight advantage.

"It's unbelievable that this Heka didn't even pursue, and with Heka's strength, he would definitely have the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat with a newcomer who had just become a hunter." Qin Xun was shocked.

"No, I'm afraid this Heka already has wisdom, and it did this because it sensed that the kid's strength was not weak. If you look closely, the severed claws are stained with lilac blood. Do you think... Qin Li shook his head and said.

"Purple blood... Could it be the blood of a hungry wolf?" Qin Xi had hunted hungry wolves more than once, and he naturally knew the color of hungry wolf blood very well.

"This Heka is probably a hungry wolf, even if it is a group fight, it should not be underestimated."

"If that's the case, isn't the newcomer in danger?"

"Not necessarily." Qin Li shook his head and said.

As he spoke, Ye Xi moved again, and the big knife in his right hand turned into an afterimage, slashing towards Heka, Heka's claws attacked, and just when Heka's claws were about to collide with the big knife, the trajectory of the knife suddenly changed, and Heka's claws flew into the air.

In Heka's eyes, the prey that had been caught in the net hastily disappeared, and the creature's intuition told Heka that danger was coming, and his movements stalled slightly.

At this moment, the position of the hunter and the prey was reversed instantly, Ye Xi appeared behind Heka, and the big knife was aimed at the back of Heka's neck, but Heka's instinct surpassed the possibility of the beast, and before he could turn his head, Heka had already waved his claws to protect the back of his neck.

Ye Xi was ruthless, and this knife even used the power of violent runes to surpass the limit of Ye Xi's own strength, cutting off Heka's entire hand along with the bones.

"What's going on? Heka was suddenly stunned. Qin Xi was puzzled, in Qin Xi's eyes, Ye Xi was half-bent down at the moment of swinging the knife, and then changed the trajectory of the knife halfway through the swing, and then went around to the back of Heka, this series of actions took less than a second, and then Heka was suddenly stunned as if he had been hit by the immobilization technique.

"Because it lost its purpose." Qin Li's tone was a little amazed.

"How is it possible to lose the target? Isn't Ye Xi right in front of it? ”

"The eyeball's image processing power is limited, and if it is fast enough to make the image become an afterimage, we will not even be able to detect it when he walks in front of us. When the mind is highly concentrated, the image processing power of the eyeball will be improved, but this is not without a price, the processing power of the eyeball is fixed, and the vision is much clearer than before, which does not mean that the processing power is improved, but the consciousness concentrates the processing power of the eyeball. Qin Li explained.

The boy swung his knife so loudly that it was like telling everyone that I was going to attack, and in an instant, Heka's attention shifted to the broadsword. In Heka's eyes, the scene other than the big knife would be blurred, and the kid was half-bent over, not only to quickly run behind Heka, but also to escape from Heka's vision little by little. When the big knife changed its trajectory and disappeared from view, the attention in Heka's eyes quickly distracted, but at this time, the kid had already fled from Heka's field of vision, and the prey in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and it was natural that he would be stunned. ”

Qin Xi's face was suddenly revealed, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

A knife fell, Ye Xi took a step forward and caught up with Heka who was retreating due to the impact, Qin Xi stared at the battle with wide eyes, for fear of missing a single detail, at this moment, a Heka suddenly appeared not far from Ye Xi.

"This is... Qin Xi turned his head to look at the thin man.

"I'm sorry, but there was a fish that slipped through the net." Having said that, Feng Yi's tone did not have the slightest apology, but seemed to be a mockery of the excitement.

"It's okay, with his ability, it shouldn't be difficult to dodge the attack from behind." Qin Li said calmly, but in the next second, Ye Xi's actions made Qin Li unable to stand.

"Why didn't he hide? It can't be that you didn't notice him. Qin Xi looked at Ye Xi's chasing figure and was puzzled.

"No, how could a hunter who can use such exquisite skills make such a low-level mistake." Qin Li was also very inexplicable.

At this moment, the second Heka had already caught up with Ye Xi, stretched out his claws, and attacked behind Ye Xi, Qin Li was not in a hurry, with the physical fitness of a hunter, this blow was not enough to be fatal, and his intuition told Qin Li that Ye Xi should not make such a low-level mistake.

In the moment of lightning, when the second Heka's claw was less than a centimeter away from Ye Xi's head, even Qin Li thought that he was looking at the wrong person, Ye Xi gave up the attack and lowered his head to avoid Heka's attack, and the inertia of the force caused the second Heka's claw to move forward, and it was too late to retract its strength and crashed into the first Heka.

A subtle action, very simple, but dodged the attack from behind, and also caused damage to Heka in front of him, and most importantly, Ye Xi's knife has not been swung yet, which means that Ye Xi has one more first move.

The power of the runes hidden in the bloodline surged, Ye Xi once again felt his strength become stronger, looking at the chest pierced by the claws in front of him, Ye Xi held the knife and slashed upward, cutting off the upper half of Heka's upper body at both ends, ending the life of this old Heka.

"This kid's grasp of timing is really... I don't know whether to say bold or delicate. This action of bowing his head, one step faster, Heka behind him will react and retract his strength in time, and one step slower will cause his head to be hit hard, and the grasp is too good, many hunters can't do it so finely in a head-to-head confrontation, let alone when it's against their backs. Qin Li was shocked.

Qin Xi's lips opened slightly, looking at the battle in front of him, which could be called the art of hunting, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Heka's head rolled to the ground, Ye Xi's indifference turned his head to look at the Heka behind him, a rushing pressure, as if being targeted by a poisonous snake, made Heka unconsciously retreat, and the instinct of the beast told it that it could only flee at this moment.
