Chapter 16: Testing the Bloodline II
Seeing his teammates being bitten in two, the morale of William's troops dropped again.
However, for this force, the real terror is just approaching.
The ground suddenly began to shake, and smoke and dust rose from Blackwater. Some of the soldiers in the group looked in the direction of the anomaly, and three or four scavengers were galloping towards them.
Seeing such a scene, some of the soldiers had fallen into complete despair, the weapons in their hands slipped unconsciously, and they were lifeless, waiting for death to come.
Others began to run away.
All this was seen by William, who was standing on the bow of the ship and watching the whole battle situation: How can this be? If this continues, my supply force will be completely wiped out! Do you want to retreat?
"Damn! those rednecks are dying too fast, you really shouldn't have counted on those guys!"
Enraged, William finally put the blame for the defeat on Cross and the others, and just as he was about to give the order to retreat, he saw one of the scavenging beasts being split in half!
Through the two corpses, William captures the reflection of metal.
Immediately afterward, two more scavengers were cut in two in a scream. Everyone only saw the sword light flashing, but they couldn't see the sword slash at all.
Just as everyone was surprised, the remaining scavenger had already rushed to William's troops.
In this case, those ordinary humans did not have time to react defensively, and even the instinctive reaction of turning and running away was delayed by being too surprised.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed above the scavenger, and immediately after, the monster let out a miserable scream. Its body is like tofu, which is cut into two slices, left and right.
Bright red blood splattered out like a wave under the action of inertia. Behind the blood-red waves, a black figure landed lightly.
Everyone looked towards the shadow, and they wanted to know what the shadow that had easily hunted so many scavengers was, whether it was an ally or an enemy.
The two scavengers, feeling the oppression from Cross, broke through the encirclement and fled to each side.
Cross didn't want to let go of any of the scavengers, but after he had just killed the scavengers, he suddenly felt tired all over his body, and the limit of time to open up his firepower was approaching.
Time was of the essence, and he had to fight quickly.
He exerted his legs and caught up with the one on the left, still slashing swiftly, and this unlucky ghost also did not escape the fate of being sliced.
At this time, the other one that fled in the opposite direction had already run some distance, and if he insisted on catching up and slashing, Cross's body would probably collapse because he could no longer bear the power brought by the bloodline.
This result was obviously not what he wanted to see, so he decided to use the flying sword to solve the last one.
He took a throwing position, concentrated his strength on his right arm, and threw the long sword in his right hand with a slam.
The sword sliced through the air at a great speed, and the metal screeched as it vibrated violently.
Then came the dull sound of a scavenger smashing to the ground. A large amount of blood spilled from under the monster's body.
The last scavenger died.
Cross finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body finally returned to a relaxed state. He simply sat on the ground with his eyes closed and recuperated.
While recovering your strength, you should not forget to think about the results of the blood test.
He had already concluded before that the power of the bloodline would greatly improve all aspects of his body's functions, and this time, he was mainly testing his physical strength and the backlash.
He fought for 11 minutes with all his body at all his might before he felt tired, and in this case, there was no backlash of blood.
In other words, he can be on full fire for 10 minutes without any scruples, but after that, he needs a short break to recover from the momentary exhaustion.
Physical strength will be consumed, which is the biggest gain of this test, he originally thought that after the bloodline is activated, the physical strength is endless, and this test made him understand that his physical strength is limited.
Knowing the limits of his physical strength gave Cross a sense of security. In his cognition, the limit means that it can be controlled, and what can be controlled is in line with reality, and what can be controlled can reduce accidents.
In addition to the success of the bloodline test, there is another thing that makes Cross more gratifying, that is, the scavengers in Blackwater Town have all been wiped out during the test.
While Cross was thinking, the soldiers and slaves were whispering in the distance. They didn't dare to get closer, and Cross's power far beyond that of humans made them involuntarily feel a sense of fear.
These people look at Cross like ants look at beasts.
"Is that really human? Why is it like this? ”
"It's really too exaggerated, the scavenger we can barely fight to the death, he can ...... so easily"
"And...... The vicious scavenger could run away...... Even that kind of monster will run away when he sees him, which one is the real monster......"
"We should be grateful to him, if it weren't for him, we might all be dead. ”
"Yes, he saved us. ”
"Yes, we should be grateful. ”
"He didn't save us, it was his job to destroy the scavengers, he was the hunter of Blackwater. ”
"How is that possible!?"
"The cloak on his body is indeed exactly the same as that Blackwater hunter......"
"He's also very similar to the hunter, but if it's the hunter, he should have other companions......"
These people suspect that it doesn't mean that they have completely rejected that Cross is the hunter of Blackwater, they just don't dare to admit it, because, once they admit it, their survival will be threatened. If there is such a strong existence in the human race, then, what else can they do......
"Is it really that person...... I can't imagine ......?"
"Perhaps, that Blackwater hunter isn't a human himself. ”
"Yes, he must not be human!"
"But I just saw his eyes, and he's supposed to be human, and besides, we all know him. ”
"What's wrong with his eyes?"
"His eyes are silver!"
"Silver, you mean Silver-Eyed Cross!?"
"Yes. ”
"You must be mistaken!"
"You must be mistaken. This person could never be Silver-Eyed Cross, and it was impossible for the nobles to go to the battlefield in person, not to mention that the target of the fight was a vicious scavenging beast. ”
"Well, which nobleman would go to battle in person. ”
At this moment, William, who had been observing the battle from the bow of the ship, also came to the battlefield full of blood.
"What are you discussing?"
