Chapter 30 Warrior's Instinct

Before this, it was not that Yan Jingxing had tried to fight against this alien creature. During the period when Mr. Gao was possessed by the hairless creature, he tried to stop it from moving and smashed it with a heavy object at hand. The result is that layer of smooth skin easily bounced off

But... this does not mean that he has no chance of defeating the opponent.

If it is invisible or intangible, that’s all. Since there is a physical touch, there must be a way to grasp the vital point.

Thinking of this, Yan Jingxing narrowed his eyes and began to concentrate on observing the movement ahead.

His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and the monster slowly squirming on the corridor and the wall gradually revealed its full profile.

A kind of "intuition", a kind of "knowledge"—

When he seriously wanted to do it, information that he had never understood before naturally flowed into his brain.

At this moment, Yan Jingxing suddenly found that he could understand what kind of feeling Chunzao said, "It seems that there are suddenly more things in my mind".

If you don't experience it yourself, others are destined to be unable to understand this miraculous experience.

He is just an ordinary junior high school student, he has not received any professional training in the past, nor does he have the knowledge of fighting and hunting;

But at this moment, when he focused on choosing his opponent, the biological instinct about fighting was activated immediately——

Even though there is no change in physical strength and physical strength, it can still be said that the him now and the him ten seconds ago have become two completely different people.

In other words, this is a change that occurs at the level of "consciousness".

His brain was spinning rapidly, looking for the place that might be the monster's vital point:
Tough muscles grow under the skin of hairless people, which secrete sticky tissue fluid. Even ordinary people may not be able to cut through this layer of natural defense even with cold weapons such as swords.

As for the large hairless leader and the group of hairless people, not to mention, before they have a considerable firepower, people can only flee in a hurry.

Moreover, even if you want to fight in close quarters, you can't keep close for too long, otherwise this kind of creature will sneak into the human body when people are not prepared, and then it will be troublesome, because it will eat the host's brain, Transform the host's body into a lair.

Tricky, indeed more dangerous than the beasts of the earth.

But even so—

Yan Jingxing, whose thinking became calmer and more active than ever, still noticed their weaknesses.

In this world, there are many creatures with natural defenses: for example, the thick fur and fat of mammals, and the chitinous exoskeleton of arthropods... for thousands of years, their ancestors have survived, adapted to the environment and resisted natural enemies. and evolved organs;
But in the same way, as long as it is a living thing, it must have a part to exchange information with the outside world, but such organs are often difficult to be wrapped by their own defenses.

Even creatures living on another planet cannot escape this rule.

This is the weakness that Yan Jingxing saw——

The head of the hairless one, with three holes, resembles an abstract, distorted face.

The size of these holes is very small, compared to the body, it is difficult to be attacked; coupled with the fast speed of the hairless one when it crawls and pounces on people, it is even more difficult to aim.

When most people saw this terrifying creature rushing up, their first reaction would be to turn around and run away instead of resisting.

"..."

Yan Jingxing squatted down speechlessly, he picked and picked on the ground, and finally picked out a few relatively sharp and small pieces of metal.

The entire palace is carved out of that weird metal that looks like flesh and blood from a distance, and the broken pieces can be seen everywhere.

"Jing Xing, what are you doing?"

The girl next to him asked in a low voice.Yan Jingxing didn't answer, and walked back under Chunzao's surprised gaze. After a certain distance, he put pieces one by one on the edge of the wall next to him, and began to rub them together.

"Um……"

Xie Yuzhi carefully observed his movements.

"Is it sharpening the pieces? Jing Xing's movements seem very skilled. Has he done this kind of thing before?"

"I haven't seen it..." Ji Chunzao shook his head, "No, I should say I don't know."

Halfway through the conversation, the girl remembered that she had not known Yan Jingxing for more than a month.

It's amazing, obviously the relationship between each other has become so close, we are familiar with each other like we have known each other since childhood.

Yan Jingxing remained silent, and continued to keep his head down and busy with his work.A few minutes later, he sharpened all the edges and corners of the fragments, then put them in his palm and lifted them up to his eyes for observation.
The broken pieces had turned into small simple "flying knives", Yan Jingxing nodded in satisfaction.

He stood up and walked directly into the depths of the corridor.

"Hey, hey... Be careful, you will be found, they may besiege you."

Miss Xie obviously still felt uneasy. Although she didn't intend to stop the boy's actions, she still couldn't help but remind her.

Yan Jingxing didn't look back.He stared straight at the "prey" 20 meters away, and continued to move forward while replying:

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi who were left behind looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other's eyes.

……

"Crack. Crack. Crack."

Yan Jingxing walked slowly, throwing the sharp pieces upwards, and then catching them with his palms, repeating this action repeatedly, as if he was not worried that his palms would be cut.

The first hairless man at the corner immediately noticed that someone was approaching, and squirmed towards Yan Jingxing.

When the distance between them was less than ten meters, he suddenly raised his hands back greatly——

Yan Jingxing's back is straight, his left foot is forward, aligned with his right hand, and his right foot is slightly backward.

His posture was loose, his whole body was in a relaxed state, and his whole body was ready to go, like the rubber band on a slingshot being tightened little by little.

"Whoosh-"

The power of the whole body is being rapidly transmitted along the force-generating parts, from the shoulders, to the waist and hips, to the arms, and then to the fingertips——

Yan Jingxing could feel that this series of movements were so natural, like gears meshing together precisely.

When his hand swung forward, it was so fast that it almost left an afterimage.

The sharpened fragments pierced the air, spanning a distance of ten meters.

"boom!"

The fragments thrown by Yan Jingxing brushed against the head of the hairless man, and rolled on the ground with a "thud, thud, thud" under the action of inertia.

Missed.

And the hairless one has already broken into this range, as if aware of the approaching crisis, it speeds up, nine meters, seven meters, five meters, three meters... The leech monster suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the boy's head .

Yan Jingxing heard the exclamation of the girls from behind.

Even if he missed for the first time, his eyes remained calm, without any sense of frustration.

He even had the mind to analyze why he missed, mainly because he had never specially trained in the technique of throwing objects before, and the ambient light was too dim, which also led to his misjudgment of position and direction.

As for the miss, this was originally within Yan Jingxing's prediction.

There is more than one way to ensure that the next shot hits, but the simplest and most direct way is naturally to shorten the distance to the target.

The hairless creature that jumped into the air opened its hideous and hideous mouthparts. Yan Jingxing watched it rush towards his face, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

——Look, isn't this guy impatiently approaching?
The fragments in his hand flew up quickly, the sharp metal hit the leech's face, and penetrated into the pitch-black hole. It had no time to struggle, and was directly pierced through the head.

The hairless one fell to the ground, its body curled up like a leech that had been sprinkled with salt and lost its moisture, motionless.

"...Well, it looks like he's dead."

Yan Jingxing clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and walked in the direction of his companions.

……

He returned to Ji Chunzao and Xie Yuzhi, and saw the two girls looking at him in surprise.

"How? The monsters are not impossible to defeat." Yan Jingxing smiled, "Although it's only the first one, it's a good start, isn't it?"

"Jing Xing, could you do this kind of thing before?"

Xie Yuzhi stared at him without blinking, as if trying to find some deep secret from his face.

"I don't think so."

"So, this is the power that 'Warrior' brings?"

"Yes."

Chunzao asked worriedly:

"Jing Xing, do you feel tired now?"

"Huh?" Yan Jingxing was a little strange, "No, why do you ask such a question?"

"But, your forehead is full of sweat."

Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment, and quickly wiped his forehead.

Cold sweat dripped from his fingers.

...bad, he thought.

It is precisely because he is in a state of highly concentrated brain attention that Yan Jingxing can immediately draw a conclusion based on his physical condition:

"It seems that this state cannot last for a long time."

The high-speed operation of the brain consumes the oxygen and nutrients transported by the blood. This process requires a lot of sugar. If it cannot be replenished in time, it may cause body temperature loss and coma.

"Then let's clean up this corridor before the time is over."

Yan Jingxing turned his gaze forward again.

"Follow me and I will protect you."

……

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Yan Jing walked in front of the team, his pace was not too fast, his eyes were looking straight ahead.

From time to time, wriggling leech monsters pounced from corners, ceilings, and walls, but they were all hit by the flying fragments from his hand, and sometimes they were accurately hit on the head without being noticed. holes.

"Three, four...six...seven, I didn't see the group of hairless people, so I'm not bad luck."

His movements seem to be easy, but in fact he has brought the observation ability brought by the naked eye to the extreme, as long as it is something that he glanced at from the corner of his eye, he will remember it all in his heart.

Hold three to four pieces of metal in both hands, while maintaining a posture in which both arms can exert strength; once you encounter an enemy that you can't defeat by yourself, you have to leave as soon as possible, and run away with the girls behind you.

In this way, Yan Jingxing led his two companions into the depths of the corridor step by step.

Sweat dripped from his forehead "tick, tick", and his bangs became sticky, but the boy's eyes remained calm.

"Amazing……"

Ji Chunzao who followed behind him let out a small exclamation.

"Well, it is very powerful. And the most important thing is that the changes in Jing Xing did not happen on the physical level. He did not become stronger, but became calmer and more focused, just like a real fighter with rich experience .”

Xie Yuzhi answered in a low voice.

"Contact Chunzao about your changes again, and we seem to be able to figure out what the essence of the ability is. Perhaps, this is just the beginning..."

……

The hairless ones on the road were all cleaned up.

Then, at last, they came to the end of the corridor—

Along the ever-increasing slope, there is a staircase leading to the top, and at the end of the staircase is a door carved with relief.

This door is not big, it seems that only two people can go out side by side, some faint light flows in through the gap of the door, and sprinkles on the steps.

The young people looked at each other in dismay, all showing nervous and expectant expressions.

They know that as long as they open this door, they can see a brand new world——

The scenery that really belongs to the alien planet is waiting for them behind the door.
