Chapter 16: The First Attack
Jumping sideways to avoid the lion-headed dog's pounce, Zhou Ming spun up, and at this time, the lion-headed dog's two front paws just landed on the ground, it was the moment when the old force had gone to the new force before it was born, with the help of the tricky moon body method, Zhou Ming burst out of a very high speed, almost attached to the lion-headed dog's Zhou Ming's probing hand, scooped up the counting card hanging on the lion's neck, pulled it suddenly, ripped off the thin line around the lion's neck, and firmly held the counting card in his hand.
Being pulled by this, the lion-headed dog didn't do anything, it had no way to raise its front grab to attack for the time being, but it immediately changed its moves, and as soon as its whole body sank, it leaned to the side, and Zhou Ming was knocked out by this powerful blow.
This time he hit his body, Zhou Ming only felt an incomparable force coming, pushing him backwards, fortunately this was a hasty shot by the lion-headed dog, and Zhou Ming was hit by the whole person, and he unloaded the force in time, so he was just knocked away and did not suffer any serious injuries.
"The counting cards are in hand, and I won't play with you. Zhou Ming took advantage of the impact of being knocked away from the lion-headed dog for a distance, and continued to escape with the tricky moon body method as soon as he regained his balance, just now this collision interrupted Zhou Ming's state, Zhou Ming estimated that he would be able to hold on for less than twenty seconds, but Zhou Ming was not unprepared, long before he made a move on this lion-headed dog, Zhou Ming had already worked out his retreat when he evacuated, Zhou Ming ran directly from the street to the house on the side, and then the figure flashed into the door, and the angry lion-headed dog of course followed him, but at this time, it found that Zhou Ming was gone。
Of course Zhou Ming is not really gone, he just went up the second floor from the stairs, lion-headed dogs are not like ordinary canine beasts, their special head structure causes their sense of smell to deteriorate seriously, and they can't judge the direction of Zhou Ming's escape from the residual smell, and at this time, Zhou Ming, who went up from the second floor to the roof, has already started his parkour journey, running and jumping in the upper rooms of these bungalows is not a difficult thing for a hunter who exercises all year round, so Zhou Ming, who has jumped over three small bungalows, finally returned to the ground safely, and then left the area near the lion-headed dog。
Continuing to set off, Zhou Ming quickly constructed a map of the places he had passed through in his mind, at least he had to ensure that he could return the same way to ask for help even if something went wrong, and after making sure that it was safe, Zhou Ming began to reflect on the battle just now.
In fact, Zhou Ming's biggest mistake is that he shouldn't be too anxious to take away the counting card, the double knife is a very smart weapon, and the "tricky moon" The body method can raise this agility to a higher realm, the only thing Zhou Ming should not do is to confront the lion-headed dog, even if he faces the lion-headed dog head-on, during the period of time when the body method of the moon is not over, it is impossible for the lion-headed dog's claws to touch Zhou Ming, but if Zhou Ming moves to the side of the lion-headed dog, with his huge body, the lion-headed dog can completely avoid Zhou Ming through the sideways impact, Zhou Ming is equivalent to sending himself into a disadvantageous situation just now, and this will be hit by the lion-headed dog to the end.
After summing up the experience, Zhou Ming found that if the task was not to hunt the lion-headed dog, then the threat to himself from the lion-headed dog, a fierce beast with empty strength and insufficient speed, was not as great as he imagined, of course, the so-called threat was not big, only a short thirty seconds.
"It's not a way to earn cards by one, and you can't get a few points in five days. After thinking about it again, Zhou Ming decided not to stay on the periphery anymore, only by looking for those lion-headed dog groups and then finding a way to obtain the high-score counting card on the leader's body, could he enter the Star Pole Royal Academy for further study.
At this time, all the hunters or mercenaries who participated in the re-examination have all entered the abandoned city, and most of them have hidden their whereabouts as much as possible, and those who have not hidden are two extreme people, the first is the stupid who has not yet figured out what the mercenaries are hunting in this city, and the other is a master who is so strong that he is not afraid of sneak attacks at all.
Zhou Ming walked between these ruins, whether it was the vines all over or the collapsed stones, it would not affect his speed at all, and he did not forget to clear the traces left by his own walking along the way, in addition to the hunter mercenary apprentice in this city, there are also formal hunters and mercenaries, Zhou Ming's strength is not enough to walk sideways in the city, everything is still based on caution, and Zhou Ming also dealt with some lions-headed dogs who acted alone, through a few battles, Zhou Ming became more and more sure of the "strange moon" With a strong body strength, even in the face of a lower-rank two-star lion-headed dog that was much stronger than him, Zhou Ming could dodge almost all of its frontal attacks.
It was almost dusk, Zhou Ming's hunting plan on the first day could be said to be very unsmooth, Zhou Ming's third-rate tricky moon body method could last for a short time after all, and he couldn't do Hong Menglong's miraculous skills, along the way he had a total of seven battles, in the first six Zhou Ming grabbed three counting cards, and the seventh time, Zhou Ming was unfortunate to become the prey - a lion-headed dog suddenly rushed out from behind a broken wall and ruins when Zhou Ming was unprepared, and his claws pounced on Zhou Ming.
In a hurry, where did Zhou Ming have time to open the trick moon body method, he could only use the double knives in his hands to remove the power of the lion-headed dog's pounce as much as possible, Zhou Ming, who had enough strength, had two knives on both claws, and jumped off the ground with both feet at the same time, as soon as the move touched, Zhou Ming flew out directly, making it clear that he didn't want to fight hard with the lion-headed dog, such an idea obviously saved Zhou Ming's life, and the prepared Zhou Ming unloaded the power of the lion-headed dog with the help of rolling, although his hands were numb, and the double knives were also dropped to the ground, but he didn't suffer any damage, so the tricky moon body method was activated, and Zhou Ming slipped in a big circle with the lion-headed dog that sneaked up on him, finally led it in the wrong direction, and then, Zhou Ming returned to the previous battlefield, ready to pick up the double knives he had dropped.
"Huh?" he noticed the anomaly when he approached his twin knives, and there was a less obvious footprint on the side of the twin knives, which should have been a hasty attempt to cover up the traces left behind, "Someone has been here, and it is likely that it is still nearby." ”
Zhou Ming was secretly on guard in his heart, and the Tricky Moon Body Method was kept in a state that could be activated at any time, but his pace was still approaching his double knives at a uniform speed, and on the surface, he pretended not to find the footprints that had not been covered.
Secretly scanning the surroundings with his peripheral vision, Zhou Ming noticed two locations that could be used as ambushes, and focused his attention on these two places, while calculating the number of steps he took from the double knife, seven steps, six steps......
The distance of five steps is already very short, short enough to make people relax their vigilance, but if an enemy suddenly sprang out of your side at this time, it is difficult for you to have time to pick up your weapon, and the mercenary who suddenly killed at this time can be said to have grasped it very well, but unfortunately, the opponent he met was Zhou Ming, and it was Zhou Ming who was already alert.
"Hand over the tally, or die!"
A broad-bladed long sword stabbed straight from Zhou Ming's left side, Zhou Ming had already prepared, his feet slammed into force, and he rushed forward directly, while dodging the attack of the broad-bladed long sword, he scooped the double knives into his arms one by one, and then rolled forward to adjust his posture, and before he stood up, Zhou Ming heard the sound of breaking wind behind him.
Unable to strike a blow, the mercenary who attacked Zhou Ming did not give up, but changed to a stab, and swept towards Zhou Ming with a long sword. Zhou Ming heard the wind behind him, and he didn't think about it, but the figure that was about to get up sank, and a roundabout kick swept towards the mercenary behind him, and the speed of his legs was always faster than picking up a heavy broad-bladed long sword, so the mercenary who lost his balance fell to the side fiercely.
The apprentice who can pass the first assessment of the Star Pole Royal Academy, whether it is a mercenary or a hunter, will not be a rookie, a mercenary who loses his balance, supports the ground with one hand, a backflip directly regains his balance, and at the same time opens the distance with Zhou Ming, the restraint method between weapons is a compulsory course for mercenaries, Zhou Ming's weapon is a double knife, if it is a close hand-to-hand combat, the flexibility of the double knife is above his broad-edged long sword, but in the face of the long sword, the length of the double knife has become a weakness, the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, he just wants to rely on the length advantage of the wide-bladed long sword so that Zhou Ming can not be deceived at all, so as to be invincible。
Every step of this mercenary apprentice's handling is not exquisite, but Zhou Ming is such a monster, the attack of the broad-bladed long sword is like a lion-headed dog, the strength is very strong but the speed is insufficient, and the opponent's strength is only a mercenary apprentice, with the strength of the "Tricky Moon" body, it is impossible for this mercenary apprentice's long sword to touch even a single hair of Zhou Ming, therefore, when the two sides set up a position to start a war, it was not the mercenary who was invincible, but Zhou Ming.
The mercenary who failed to sneak attack was the first to attack, a no fancy slash cut down from the top of Zhou Ming's head, this blow seems to be a heavy hand, but in fact it is a force, whether Zhou Ming is left or right, he can directly change the vertical slash to sweep, so that Zhou Ming will avoid it, in the morning he used this trick to force a hunter to submit, but unfortunately the hunter did not have a counting card, this time, it is in the face of a hunter who has no experience in white-knuckle combat, he always wants to get some color.
However, in the tricky moon body method, Zhou Ming's speed and way of action became very weird, he did not choose to dodge to the side, but took a step back first, and the seemingly slow retreat was so strange to dodge the vertical slash, which made the mercenary apprentice stunned by this strange dodge.
But Zhou Ming didn't stop, once the tricky moon body method was opened, it must be quickly resolved, the mercenary's long sword was just exhausted, and Zhou Ming, who had taken a step back, was strangely approaching the front, seemingly completely unaffected by inertia, just like that, the double knives crossed on the neck of the mercenary apprentice.
"Originally, I planned that no one would offend me, and I would not offend anyone, but since you attacked me first, let's leave some price. ”
