Chapter 103: Spare Me, Big Brother
Su Hao's overall combat power at this time was not much different from his past life, especially when it came to drawing several commonly used runes. He was adept at it and didn't rely too heavily on the assistance of the Golden Thread Worm. It only meant that he needed a longer activation time without it.
However, such battles that could be resolved in just one round had negligible impact.
Su Hao cast a "Barrier" on himself as a precautionary measure, and then prepared the "Bright Light" rune. With a step forward, he shot towards the "Strider."
"So fast!" The Strider's pupils constricted as he closely watched Su Hao's figure.
It was precisely because of Su Hao's speed that the Strider let his guard down.
Those who were fast usually had low attack power. He was extremely confident in his defense. What could the opponent use to break through his defense? The broken small knife in his hand? It was simply laughable!
He raised his fist, aiming it at Su Hao's dark figure. With the densely packed steel spikes on his knuckles, as long as he landed a punch, it would be enough to end the battle.
Su Hao raised his left hand and spread it open.
"Bright Light!"
Suddenly, a blinding white light burst forth, turning the surroundings into daylight. The Strider's eyes, shrouded in darkness, were intensely stimulated by the bright flash. He immediately lost his vision, let out a low cry, closed his eyes, and his fist lost its target.
But he still swung his fist forward steadily. Because he believed in his defense!
"Shadow Glide!"
Su Hao agilely dodged the punch, maneuvering around to the side and behind the Strider.
"Kidney Strike!"
In reality, the technique was "Deceptive Stab." It was just that due to his height being insufficient, it was easier to target the lower abdomen, so he temporarily changed the name of the technique.
But it didn't matter. The Strider had no room to dodge. The unremarkable short knife easily plunged into his lower back.
"Ah!" A sharp and miserable cry came from the darkness.
Su Hao pulled out the short knife and quickly distanced himself.
The wound immediately started gushing blood like a mountain spring, and the flesh around the wound sizzled as if it was being corroded.
Even looking at it was painful.
The Strider instantly lost his strength, clutching his lower back and swaying.
Su Hao slowly approached, wanting to deliver a couple more strikes to completely incapacitate the opponent, and then cut off a piece of flesh and leave.
Unexpectedly, the Strider suddenly knelt down, his arm's carapace quickly receding. At the same time, he fished out a small knife from somewhere and viciously sliced his own arm.
"Splurt!"
He cut off a piece of flesh from his arm, then threw the small knife on the ground and held the piece of flesh in his hands, loudly saying, "Big brother, spare me. I offer my flesh and blood."
The entire process flowed smoothly, as if they had rehearsed it many times, leaving Su Hao and Yashan dumbfounded.
Su Hao suddenly glanced at Yashan and discovered a common trait between them—they both loved to act recklessly and were afraid of death.
Although Su Hao sometimes acted recklessly, his fear of death was non-existent! Could it be that all the anomalies from the "Shenjia People" sequence were like this?
Su Hao signaled for Yashan to approach and take the flesh.
Yashan was extremely frightened at the moment, but in order to evolve, he overcame his fear and slowly approached, accepting the flesh from the Strider and swallowing it in two bites.
Su Hao really wanted to ask Yashan loudly, "Don't you know how to save some for me?"
But it was already too late to pursue the matter. He took out a small empty bottle from his pocket and handed it to the Strider, saying, "Fill it with blood!"
The Strider obediently took it, pressing it against his lower back. Soon, he filled the bottle and carefully asked, "Do you want the flesh too? I still have some!"
Su Hao smiled and said, "No need, you can keep it!"
Since the goal had been achieved, it was time to leave as soon as possible.
Su Hao turned to Yashan and gestured, "Let's go!"
At this moment, the only visible eyes of Yashan were filled with undisguised excitement.
He even wanted to kneel down and hold Su Hao's thigh and call him daddy.
Of course, only if Su Hao accepted.
Su Hao and Yashan quickly departed.
The Strider left behind heaved a sigh of relief. This was surviving a calamity! He was extremely grateful for his quick reaction. If he had encountered a high-level anomaly who didn't waste any words and directly cut off heads, he would have been doomed.
"Ah, encountering a Shenjia person with connections. Unfortunate!"
He felt frustrated and climbed up, glancing at the wounds on his arm and lower back. Suddenly, he held his breath, bloodshot eyes appearing.
Inside the wound on his lower back, fleshy tendrils began to rapidly grow like tentacles, quickly sealing the wound. Then, a thick carapace grew, completely covering the wound.
From the outside, it looked as if he hadn't been injured at all.
"The wound on the arm should be dealt with in a safe place. Quickly leave this place. Not only did I gain nothing tonight, but I also lost some flesh. Unfortunate!" The Strider picked up the small knife from the ground and swiftly left the area.
Su Hao and Yashan quickly ran to the edge of the city and found an abandoned dilapidated house.
"Let's stay here!" Su Hao said, pushing open the door and entering directly.
Yashan was already drowsy at this point. After following Su Hao into the room, he immediately fell asleep.
Su Hao took out a bunch of small empty bottles from his pocket and neatly arranged them next to Yashan.
Then he took out a small knife and waited by the side.
How could Su Hao waste such a good opportunity to observe?
During Yashan's evolution, he planned to give him blood every five minutes, collect it, and observe the genetic changes throughout the entire evolution process.
Looking at the neatly arranged small bottles in front of him, Su Hao regretted, "There are too few bottles. Otherwise, I could give him blood every minute. What a pity!"
If Yashan knew about Su Hao's plan, it was unclear how he would feel. Whether he could sleep peacefully was also a question.
...
On the other side, the Strider made several turns and arrived in front of a three-story building. He went to the side door and knocked three long and two short sounds.
Soon, the side door opened, and the Strider immediately entered, with the door closing behind him.
Only then did the Strider heave a long sigh.
Safe!
Inside, a delicate yet somewhat frail-looking tall woman saw the Strider covered in blood with a piece of flesh missing from his arm. She immediately covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Frederick, you're injured? You can get hurt too?"
Frederick
didn't want to lose his imposing aura in front of the girl. He snorted and said, "Charley, look at my arm. As you can see, I am indeed injured, but do you think this wound was inflicted by the enemy? You're wrong. No one can leave a wound on me except myself!"
After speaking, Frederick silently added in his heart, "Because any wounds left by the enemy, I have already healed them. Ahahaha!"
Charley didn't believe his nonsense and directly asked, "What happened? Didn't you kill that wretched Charlo?"
When mentioning Charlo, Charley's exquisite face was filled with killing intent.
Frederick shrugged and said, "That woman, she's too cunning. She dodged my ambush, transformed into a night owl, and flew away. I couldn't catch up."
Charley really wanted to curse Frederick as useless, but considering that he was helping her and also injured, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Missing this opportunity, who knows when they would be able to confirm the opponent's location again?
Charley clenched her fists tightly.
When would she be able to kill that wretched Charlo, her own elder sister?
Frederick comforted, "Don't worry, Charley. Next time we meet her, she won't be able to escape."
Then he walked away slowly, going up the stairs. As he walked, he said, "I'll go report the situation to the leader. I encountered two inexplicable guys this time."
