Alien Knights

Chapter 258: Secrets of the Kingdom of Shadows (3)

This monster that fell from the sky has a tail in the shape of a scorpion, and its body is exactly the same as a lion, but it has a pair of bat wings.

Just when Todd lamented the infinite biological form, the manticore took the lead in attacking.

The bat wings slapped a strong wind on the ground, and the monster took advantage of the wind to kick on the ground with four claws, and then turned from static, the forward flutter reached its maximum instantaneously.

Todd was taken aback by this swift offensive. Without sufficient mental preparation, he rolled his right hand on the ground and dodged the attack embarrassingly.

"Concentrate! Focus your attention on the opponent!" Meredith stomped on the ground, his body was like a big light bird, flew up to the top of the tall stone pillar and looked down at the battle.

Todd adjusted the balance of his body, put away academic distractions, looked at the manticore in front of him, and metal scales slowly appeared on the skin of his right hand.

Manticore looked at the opponent's right arm, the black flame that rose up, and didn't know what he remembered, his footsteps stopped in place, his body was close to the ground, and he assumed a posture of waiting.

Seeing that the opponent did not intend to attack first, Todd gritted his teeth, rushed forward with a stride, and then slammed his right paw sharply.

Seeing this unfamiliar action comparable to a street fight, Meredith sighed helplessly while covering his face with his hands.

Sure enough, Todd's attack was too hard, and the action before using it was too obvious. Manticore easily jumped sideways. After evading the attack, he stood up again, taking advantage of the opponent's time to stop, leaving three deep scars on his body with his claws.

Meredith was sitting on the pedestal, shaking her white calf, and sparing no effort to taunt: "Newcomer, have you never fought before?! I bet the drunks in the fishing village are more than you. Will fight!"

Todd grinned bitterly at the scars beside his ribs. Although the power of "regeneration" allowed the skin and muscle tissue to heal quickly, his inner self-esteem was hit hard.

In the Kingdom of Muxi, he sat on the throne, in addition to the symbolic sword to go out, and never needed to participate in a real battle. Even Cumberland's daily request for his martial arts training is just perfunctory.

But this is not the time to sigh with emotion.

Manticore succeeded in one move, followed by another charge, but this time the target was replaced by Todd's head.

Shortly avoiding this attack, Todd took a few steps back in a panic.

Meredith yelled anxiously: "Watch your steps! Keep your balance!"

The fight lasted for two minutes, and the manticore left Todd with no less than ten wounds. Had it not been for the increase in body strength and the help of the "metal skin" and "regeneration" abilities, Todd would have died ten times now.

Skaha's training for Cuchurin came to an end, and the two turned their attention to the battle of the new entrants.

The bruised Cuchurin walked to the bottom of the stone pillar, carelessly wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, smiled and raised his head and shouted: "This guy has really passed the "Strength" trial? Are you sure?"

Meredith took a crow feather as a dagger, threw it towards Cú Chulainn’s head, and roared angrily: “If you run into his opponent in the trial of "Strength", even you will only have The end of defeat."

"What?!" Cuchurin caught the Raven Feather, folded it into two, raised his head and shouted proudly: "There must be a limit to lies! I am..."

With a snap of Skaha's finger, a round pebble flew into the air, hit the back of Cuchurin's head, and broke into two halves: "Shut up and watch it!"

Cuchurin grinned, rubbed his head desperately, looked at his master, and asked incomprehensibly: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at how he learns to fight..." After saying this, Skaha remained silent, watching Todd's movements intently.

After the initial unilateral beatings, Todd was hit fewer and fewer times, and even occasionally fought back once or twice.

The body after being transformed by mutation, whether it is attack power, physical endurance, agility, or reactivity, is far beyond that of ordinary people. This gives him unlimited trial and error possibilities in battle. The only thing he lacks is combat experience. And opponent information.

As the battle progressed, Todd gradually recalled his previous experience of playing games.

Whenever you play hard-core action games such as "Curse of Blood" and "Dark Soul", facing the boss, you often start with infinite death and running corpses. After adapting to the enemy's attack routine, the battle will change. It's as simple as drinking water.

The same is true for the opponent of Manticore. The attack method of this monster is nothing more than four methods: scorpion tail, claw attack, collision and bite. There is a certain upper limit for the telescopic range of the opponent's tail, as well as the extension length of the limbs. Taking into account factors such as the opponent's degree, tactics, and battlefield terrain, the opponent's attack range and sequence can be roughly calculated, and a concept often used in action games-safe zone (safeZone) can be predicted.

Twenty minutes after this battle, everyone present saw a strange situation.

Although Todd was never hit by Manticore again, he had no plans to kill him. In the battle, he can always avoid every attack of the enemy, and imitates the attacking method of the opponent bit by bit.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is not so much a battle of life and death, it is more like an "alternative pas de deux".

One person, one beast, advance and retreat, slide in circles.

However, compared to Todd, the calm "leader", his dancing partner seemed a little impatient.

After a series of actions of anger, roaring, biting, rolling, and fleeing without success, the manticore collapsed completely.

It knelt on the ground with its limbs, sticking out its tongue and gasping for breath. There was no fighting spirit in its eyes, and it was filled with despair and sorrow.

Meredith jumped off the stone pillar and looked at Todd with a different look. She said in a delighted tone: "You won."

Cuchurin glanced at it, and the half-dead manticore on the ground grumbled: "Such an opponent, of course, will win."

Todd crossed his legs, sat in front of the manticore, looked at the monster that was no longer crazy, and laughed.

Meredith came behind Todd and said, "Give it a joy. This is the power of the winner."

Standing not far away, Cú Chulainn also started to scream at this time: "Yes, tear its throat! Pull its head! Blood! Howling! This is the meaning of fighting!"

The manticore hung his chin on the soil and quietly closed his eyes, just like a traveler who saw the end of life, accepting his fate with peace of mind.

Patting the dust on his ass, Todd looked at the monster under his feet, with a smile still on his face: "Let's go, get out of here."

The decision to give up the execution of the loser stunned the other three people present.

Meredith stammered, "Let it go? Are you kidding me?"

Compared to her doubts, Kuchurin showed anger: "The execution of the loser by the winner is a tradition in the North for thousands of years! If there is a battle, there is no blood and life of the loser, as a sacrifice. ! So, what will the sacred duel become? Are a group of children frolicking around?!"

Ignoring the attitude of others, Todd lowered his body, pointed his finger at the distant sky, and said to the manticore kneeling on the ground again: "Let’s go back to the sky again. The battle between us is over. ."

The monster slowly opened his eyes, watching Todd's movements, and listening to his words, an inexplicable emotion slowly appeared in his eyes.

Seeing that the manticore still did not move, Todd stepped forward, intending to pat the opponent's head and let it leave as soon as possible.

The moment the palm of the hand touched the lion's head, Todd's consciousness suddenly entered the "soul space" automatically.

Looking at the blue water around his body, Todd said in surprise, "What's going on?! I didn't activate the soul space!"

A small mountain figure slowly swam across the dark seabed below Todd, a huge eye opened...gazing...closed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the whole process was just a second to Todd. But only he knew what he had just given birth.

Todd returned to reality, watching the manticore flying further and further in the air, sweat dripping from his back. His own consciousness has just been pulled into the "soul space" of other creatures!

Cuchurin ignored Meredith's obstacles, walked up to Todd, and shouted loudly, "Do you know what you just did?!"

The latter shrugged: "I am not used to wielding a butcher knife to an enemy who has given up resistance. UU看书www.uukahnshu.com"

After a pause, Todd added lightly: "It makes me feel unfulfilled to do that."

"What are you talking about?!" Cuchurin flushed, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to fight Todd.

A twisted vine, like a living snake, climbed onto Cuchurin's body and bound his hands and feet tightly.

Skaha threw away the branch in his hand, leaving the three of them walking towards the temple. When she left, she left this sentence: "The winner has his own reasons."

Seeing that Todd and Meredith were also about to leave, the sturdy and unmovable Cú Chulainn yelled anxiously: "The one who broke the tradition is the newcomer. I don't have any. Make a mistake! Why do you want to tie me?!"
