Chapter 46: Killing and Counter-Killing
Faced with the throwing knives coming from the left and right, the stalker knew that he could not dodge standing on the tree.
After a split second of judgment, the stalker jumped off the huanghuali tree without hesitation. In the process of descending, he had drawn a bow and arrow from the quiver on his waist and kept slashing the trunk with a sharp metal arrow to reduce the impact of the fall.
Because the stalker jumped down from behind the Huanghuali tree, Lin Yu's vision was completely blocked by the thick trunk, and he couldn't attack for a while.
Lin Yu couldn't help but speed up again, vowing to intercept this sneak attacker.
After landing, the stalker had just started to flee when he heard the sound of the wind whistling again.
As the stalker dodged sideways, another lancet knife flew against his cheek. A bloody streak appeared on the left side of his face.
While the stalker was dodging the flying knife, Lin Yu had already rushed in front of him.
"Huh!" Lin Yu used the "shadow general" to slash forward, directly taking the location of the tracker's heart.
The Stalker took a step back, letting go of the tip of the sword that had slashed forward. He was about to fight back with the metal arrow in his hand, but he found that the sword in front of him had grown rapidly, and it came straight to his own vital point.
It was not the sword body of the "Shadow General" that became longer, but Lin Yu threw the sword in his hand. Just now, the forward slash he made to the stalker was just a false move, and this throw was a killer move.
The "Shadow General" was not far from the tracker, and in an instant, the tip of the sword was about to touch the tracker's right chest.
In the flash of lightning, the stalker's eyes snapped open, and the pale yellow on his eyeballs flashed suddenly.
With this flash, the tracker actually increased its speed in an instant. He turned his body to the side in an incredible way, dodging the "shadow general" who was surging on.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yu couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "The speed of dodging is so fast, I can't see clearly with the 'Shadow Pupil'." Is this his bloodline ability? However, there should be restrictions on use. Aside from the one that struck me, he didn't show any incredible reaction speed. ”
Dodging the attack of the "Shadow General", while the stalker gasped, he secretly said in his heart: "Brother Yongsheng's guess is right, this young man is really outstanding. Although my bloodline ability, 'Divine Response', can increase reaction speed in an instant, it can only be used three times a day. Now, after using it twice, the opponent is still unharmed. The last opportunity to improve the speed of reaction, I must grasp it; Don't try to kill the other party, as long as you can get out of the way. ”
When the tracker made a decision, Lin Yu had already taken out a willow leaf flying knife.
Lin Yu quickly bullied forward and attacked the other party with the flying knife in his hand.
In the face of Lin Yu's frantic attack, the stalker was tired of defending for a while. Soon, there were a lot of wounds on his body.
"Attacking so frantically regardless of physical fitness, what is this kid's intention?" The stalker was forced to retreat as he thought to himself.
Gradually, the stalker got closer and closer to the yellow pear tree behind him. There, the "shadow general" thrown by Lin Yu was inserted into the trunk of the tree.
"Is he trying to retrieve the sword stuck in the trunk?" Seeing the "Shadow General" behind him with his peripheral vision, the stalker made a guess in his heart: "It seems that he is not comfortable using this flying knife." It just so happened that the moment he retrieved the sword, I used the 'Divine Response' to increase his reaction speed and deliver a fatal blow. This is the only chance to inflict or kill him. ”
With a decision in his mind, the tracker found that Lin Yu's attack speed had slowed down.
The stalker couldn't help but smile: "Is your fitness starting to decline?" In this way, it will be easier to succeed in the sneak attack later. ”
Suddenly, the stalker saw Lin Yu stretch out his left hand and make a gesture of beckoning to him.
When he was puzzled by Lin Yu's movements, the stalker suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He lowered his head and saw a sword tip peeking out of his right chest.
"What is this?" The stalker struggled to turn around, only to find that the sword stuck in the trunk was nowhere to be seen.
Feeling the vitality pass quickly, the stalker slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Yu in confusion: "What...... Time? ”
Without waiting for Lin Yu's answer, the stalker fell to the ground and lost consciousness completely.
Pulling out the "Shadow General" that pierced into the stalker's body, Lin Yu began to gasp heavily: "Although this 'Sword Shadow' ability is unexpected, it is too physically demanding. ”
Lin Yu's eyes were Wu Ming, a native of the Divine Vein Continent; Therefore, after absorbing his bloodline ability "Divine Shadow", the "Shadow General" generated the "Sword Shadow" ability.
The "Sword Shadow" is similar to Wu Ming's "Divine Shadow" ability, but it is different.
"Divine shadow" is the shadow of oneself in other objects; The "Sword Shadow" is to make the "Shadow General" virtual, and then hide the physical "Shadow General" in the shadow of the virtual body. While the enemy is unaware, the real "shadow general" can break away from the shadow and attack him unprepared.
Just now, the "shadow general" inserted in the trunk of the tree has become an imaginary body, and the real "shadow general" is hidden in the shadow of the virtual body. Lin Yu made a gesture of beckoning before, which was to summon the "Shadow General" to shoot out of the shadow and attack the stalker by surprise.
Of course, this "Sword Shadow" also has certain restrictions on its use. For example, the "Shadow General" must be thrown by Lin Yu before it can become a virtual body. Moreover, in order to control the real "shadow general" to come out of the shadow, Lin Yu must get close to that shadow.
Lin Yu had previously attacked the stalker, forcing him to keep retreating, just to get close to the shadow of the virtual body "Shadow General".
Seeing that the stalker was killed, Zheng Zhihong ran from diagonally behind. He came to the corpse of the stalker, drew the Tang knife he had found earlier, and was about to cut off the enemy's head.
Lin Yu shook his head: "No need." Ouyang Liang said that the corpses that were killed would quickly weather, and they would no longer turn into zombies. ”
"I ×, why didn't the military advisor tell me!" Complaining unhappily, Zheng Zhihong pointed at the stalker's corpse with a Tang knife: "I was observing from the side just now, and the speed of the two of you when you fought was too fast." The strength of this product is not weak. ”
Taking a breath, Lin Yu nodded: "The strength of this stalker is very strong. If I hadn't discovered his sneak attack intent in advance, the arrow he fired wouldn't have been so easy to dodge. Compared to the speed of his archery, I was obviously faster at throwing knives, which also made it impossible for him to use his advantages. ”
"Lin Zi, your flying knife skills are pretty good× ah." Zheng Zhihong patted Lin Yu beside him, "When did you practice secretly?" ”
Hearing Zheng Zhihong's words, Lin Yu couldn't help but think of his childhood: "I practiced it when I was a child. My mother studied under the Emei sect and taught me how to throw plum blossom darts. ”
When talking about his mother, Lin Yu's expression was a little sad.
Zheng Zhihong on the side was just about to comfort him, when he suddenly found that several zombies gathered around.
"×, it's the blood on this thing that attracts it. It's still a drag on us when it's dead! Kicking the stalker's corpse, Zheng Zhihong said, "Lin Zi, you rest for a while, and these zombies will be handed over to my brother." ”
Seeing that there were not many zombies gathered, Lin Yu nodded: "It's okay, I'll recover my physical strength first." Maybe that Wang Yongsheng will send a killer over. ”
"Huh?" When he regained his physical strength, Lin Yu suddenly saw that a hanging chain was exposed around the stalker's neck.
Lin Yu took off the chain and saw a black metal plate on it: a hunting dog was engraved on the front, and the word "Zhao Ming" was printed on the reverse.
Hanging the chain back on the neck of the stalker Zhao Ming, Lin Yu closed his eyes: "Rest in peace, may you be a good person in your next life." ”
When Lin Yu took off the compound bow and quiver on Zhao Ming's body, Zheng Zhihong also killed the surrounding zombies and ran back.
Seeing the compound bow and quiver in Lin Yu's hand, Zheng Zhihong snatched it away: "I'll carry it." This bow is not light. You carry it on your back, which is not conducive to coping with unexpected situations. ”
Nodding, Lin Yu felt that his physical strength had recovered, so he quickly got up and went to pick up the willow leaf flying knife on the ground around him.
"Linzi, why are you so economical? The used knives are also recycled. Zheng Zhihong was a little surprised.
Lin Yu responded while picking up the willow leaf flying knife: "Before, the medicine given to Brother Zhang Lei cost a lot of epochs. This willow leaf flying knife is one by one, and it can no longer be discarded at will. I'm not a tyrant either! ”
"Haha, you treated Zhang Lei, not for his sister Zhang Ruxuan. The local tyrant is throwing money at his sister, and you are even more ×, so you directly smashed the era point! While Zheng Zhihong teased, he also helped Lin Yu pick up the flying knife.
After putting all the flying knives he picked up into the Qiankun bag, Lin Yu came to the courtyard wall diagonally opposite. There was also a metal arrow stuck there, which was the one Zhao Ming had shot before.
Lin Yu took out the "Shadow General" and slashed towards this arrow......
"Huh!" Along the wall, the arrow was slashed by a sword.
Looking at the severed arrows, Lin Yu secretly swore: "Wang Yongsheng, I hope you will stop here." If I continue to pester, I will even take action against those I cherish; You will be separated like this arrow! ”
"Let's go, someone will come and collect his body." Lin Yu turned his head and said to Zheng Zhihong beside him.
The two made a big detour before heading towards their temporary abode.
On the way, Lin Yu also checked his surroundings from time to time to see if there was any "tail" tracking.
……
Ten minutes later, at the place where Lin Yu was sneak attacked, Wang Yongsheng, dressed in white, appeared, and he was followed by the "thug" younger brother. They followed the marks left by Zhao Ming and found them all the way.
Wang Yongsheng found Zhao Ming's body at a glance, not far away.
Seeing that the "thug" brother wanted to rush over, Wang Yongsheng reprimanded in a low voice: "Idiot! Are you in a hurry to die? What if the person who killed him on the corpse went to the trap? ”
The little brother of the "thug" slapped his head and immediately stopped his steps.
Seeing that no one was watching, Wang Yongsheng slowly opened his right hand. In the palm of his right hand, a strangely shaped cane was formed out of thin air.
The tip of the cane is set with jet-black gemstones, which shimmer in the sun; The bottom of the cane is very sharp, and an unknown incantation is engraved on it.
