(Emmm, I still need to correct some typos and sentences, I suggest you wait a while before reading it.)
As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark.
Atuo had quietly come behind the white man without anyone noticing.
The four-star stealth talent made it proficient in hiding techniques, and the five-star fighting talent and canines' excellent hunting instincts allowed him to develop this talent to the extreme.
It walks silently, without revealing any killing intent. At this moment, it is the best and most patient hunter.
Oh!
When the white man was about to attack Xia Xu and was least paying attention to the back, Atuo instantly rushed forward, opened his bloody mouth, and bit the back of the white man's neck.
"ah!"
It has been a full half month since Atuo was injected with the wolf enhancement fluid. Although Atuo's body size does not seem to have grown too much over these days, his physical fitness is no longer what it used to be.
And as canines, they are also famous for their bite force.
With such a bite on the neck, the sharp fangs pierced the blood vessels directly, and the blood flowed out, instantly staining half of the body with blood.
No matter how good a white man is at fighting, he is still a human being, and a neck injury is always a fatal blow.
The feeling of the fangs piercing his flesh, the feeling of the hot blood breaking through the blood vessels and skin and flowing to his back, the feeling of life slipping away and the sudden attack made him scream in horror instinctively.
"I've already said that my profession is actually a summoner."
Xia Xu turned his head to take a look at Atuo's battle results, then turned back and spoke to Luo Hongyun with a smile while quickly helping him up and retreating.
"roll!"
The sturdy white man naturally had no intention of paying attention to the two of them at this moment. After an instinctive scream, he quickly swung his hand and punched Atuo, who was hanging on him by the back of his neck.
However, Atuo seemed to have anticipated this. He let go instantly, and his body fell to the ground under the action of gravity. He took light steps and jogged, and in the blink of an eye he had opened up a distance.
"roar!"
The furious white man covered the back of his neck with his left hand, rushed towards Atuo, and attacked with a straight punch with his right hand.
Unfortunately, Atuo was not as strong as his opponent, but his natural animal agility and nerve reaction speed gave him a natural advantage. He dodged the punch with a light jump.
After dodging the attack, Atuo did not fight back immediately, but circled around the white man, making tentative attacks from time to time, but each time it was a fake move that ended abruptly.
At this moment, it seemed no longer a dog, but a real wolf, a lone wolf that was skilled in hunting and lived alone in the wilderness.
He tried again and again, moving in circles and overlapping steps, showing great patience and caution.
Precise and elegant.
For some reason, Xia Xu suddenly thought of this word in his mind.
Atuo's circles were not just random movements. In fact, his eyes were fixed on the white man's eyes. Every movement and change of direction was actually an attempt to avoid his sight.
With the previous experience of being severely injured by Atuo's silent attack from behind, the white man dared not let this "wolf" that jumped out of nowhere escape his sight again. He tensed his body and dared not move rashly, and followed Atuo with his body and eyes at all times.
call out!
Xia Xu on the side was not idle either. After dragging Luo Hongyun, who had temporarily lost his ability to move, to the side, he picked up the compound bow again and shot an arrow at the white man.
The previous two arrows were easily caught by the white man, and this arrow was no exception.
As a top master, even if he is not as good as Luo Hongyun, his combat awareness and experience are definitely extremely rich. The reason why he was successfully ambushed by Atuo just now was purely because his hiding ability was too outstanding and he had no psychological defense.
Knowing that Xia Xu had a bow and arrow in his hand, he naturally would not make any low-level mistakes. While being alert to Atuo's attack, he also always kept his attention on guard against Xia Xu and the most important Luo Hongyun. There was almost no suspense in catching the arrow.
However, Xia Xu never expected to hit the target from the beginning to the end.
His purpose was just to interfere, and it seemed that he had achieved his goal.
Oh!
The white man was distracted by catching the arrow, and Atuo immediately seized this long-awaited opportunity and rushed forward in an instant, leaving a shadow behind.
“Fuck!”
The sturdy white man cursed angrily, but his reaction speed was not slow. He once again displayed the strange movements he had used when dealing with Luo Hongyun before. He had just turned around to catch the arrow, but the next moment his body instantly bent downward 180 degrees like a shrinking clamp.
Atuo, who was about to bite the wound on his neck, missed and passed over his head.
After landing lightly, Atuo quickly distanced himself from the white man and began to circle around him again, trying to get behind the white man or into his blind spot.
"Can this thing forcefully control body movements?"
Only then did Xia Xu see clearly the centipede spine on the white man's back.
The visibility was dim at night, and he had just arrived in a hurry to rescue Luo Hongyun, so he didn't pay close attention.
He quickly threw a property to the sturdy man to check.
Name: Colclough
Life Level: 1
Fate potential: [Supporting role: "Night Owl"]
Talent potential: Fighting (4 stars); Fitness (4 stars)
Special: Mechanical Centipede Spine (2 stars)
Obsession: wealth and strength.
Favorability: 0
"Four stars?"
Xia Xu was surprised by this attribute panel.
Are you kidding me? A four-star fighting talent can beat Uncle Luo so badly
Although there is also a four-star fitness, judging from the name it probably means strengthening the body. It is most likely about being good at exercise techniques and theories, or at most it means that you have a special physique and can become stronger more easily than others.
Can these two four-star talents combined defeat two five-star talents in fighting and weapon combat
It would be fine if he bullied those who have not discovered or have not fully discovered their talents, but Uncle Luo is a retired soldier, and his talent potential must have been developed and utilized to the extreme.
"Either he's on drugs, or it's this mechanical centipede..."
After the surprise, Xia Xu was immediately filled with curiosity and excitement.
It can make the double four-star Colclough stronger than Uncle Luo. This thing is definitely black technology, and it is black technology that enhances the human body.
Based on past experience, the special columns also have a brief overview.
Focusing his eyes on it, it didn't take long for a prompt box to pop up.
Mechanical Centipede Spine (2 stars): This creature is equipped with a mechanical centipede spine, which can bypass the human body's protective mechanism and transform the brain's control over the muscles into a more direct and rapid stress-type neural reflex like the knee-jerk reflex, gaining greater explosive power, faster movement speed, and to a certain extent forcing the execution of actions that violate the human body's structure and subconsciousness.
“It’s black technology!”
Xia Xu became excited instantly.
Enhanced explosive power and movement speed. In game terms, this means equipment that increases attack and attack speed. There is also forced execution of actions, which we have just seen.
It is probably about forcing oneself to perform actions that one cannot normally perform or that one instinctively resists performing, such as exerting force to the point of dislocating one's joints, bending and breaking one's waist and arms, etc.
The Mechanical Centipede Spine itself is rated as two stars, and after equipping it, Colclough can even defeat Uncle Luo who has two five stars!
This is simply a 'divine outfit' that amplifies the human body!
Moreover, the brief description in the special column is also a pleasant surprise. It seems that it is not just an introduction, but also vaguely reveals the principle of this thing.
He may find it difficult to understand complicated theoretical knowledge, but when it comes to the knee-jerk reflex, it is simple and straightforward.
I believe most people have heard of the concept of knee jerk reflex, which is the nerve reflex that causes the foot to bounce back automatically after a hit on the knee. The kick is even easier and faster than any specially trained fighting skills.
In other words, normal human activities are the brain sending nerve signals to control muscle activities and ultimately make movements. However, after being equipped with a mechanical centipede spine, it becomes a centipede spine to forcibly stimulate muscles and nerve reflexes to make movements.
For example, the muscle contraction after being electroshocked, the hand retracting after being scalded, the nerve reflex after being hit on the knee, and the unconscious rapid shaking of some people after sitting on tiptoes, etc.
If you pay a little attention, you will find that these actions performed subconsciously or instinctively by the body are much faster, more frequent, and more powerful than those controlled by subjective consciousness, and it is even impossible to do them when you actively try to control them.
The simplest and most vivid example is body shaking and teeth chewing. When shaking or biting normally, no matter how fast you want to be, there is an upper limit. But when shivering from the cold or other reasons trigger the reflex, it is easy to shake as if you are carrying some bad props on your body.
Not to mention explosive power. An ordinary person is basically on par with people of the same age. However, when some people with epilepsy have a seizure, the explosive power they can cause several people to be unable to hold them down.
The key point is on the 'human body's protection mechanism'.
Normally, no matter how people train, it is impossible for them to exert all of their muscle strength at will. When hitting a wall or sharp object, ordinary people will subconsciously stop halfway. Subconsciously, they will instinctively avoid damaging behaviors such as muscle strain no matter what they do. In fact, they can only exert a part of it.
“So it’s not that Colclough’s reaction speed is really that fast, but because the mechanical centipede spine makes his explosive power and movement speed faster, so he can strike back but be the first to arrive, giving people the illusion that his reaction speed is extremely fast.
Moreover... bypassing the body's protective mechanism is essentially an explosion and overdraft of potential, which will definitely cause damage to the body and will not last long."
Xia Xu instantly understood how to deal with this bald white man.
Harassment!
In short, just force him to act and take action!
His physical fitness is not really strong enough to crush Uncle Luo. He just uses the mechanical centipede to temporarily burst out this level of power. The more he bursts out, the greater the damage he suffers and the greater the physical energy consumption.
And even if it is just to delay time, it is enough. The wound that Atuo just caused on Colclough's neck is not light. If he is not given the chance to bandage and heal, he will bleed to death!
After closing the attribute panel, Xia Xu was about to remind Atuo when some changes occurred in the battle situation on the field.
After a stalemate with Colclough for a while, Atuo, who did not find any opportunity, seemed to be planning to give up this tough opponent. He hesitated for a moment, staring at Colclough's movements, and slowly retreated into the dark shadows and disappeared.
But Colclough did not relax at all. Instead, he became more nervous and alert.
It was more like a 'duel' if he was within sight, but once the dog disappeared into the darkness, he completely lost sight of it.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. The opponent has become an assassin lurking in the shadows, appearing out of nowhere and ready to spring out at any time. He becomes more passive and becomes a trembling prey that is always afraid of snakes.
The most deadly thing is that you don’t know when the opponent will jump out to attack, nor do you know from which direction he will jump out.
In a head-on battle, he is not afraid at all, even if it is an attack by a Night Owl. However, an assassin who can jump out at any time and deal him heavy damage is equivalent to creating psychological pressure on him all the time.
If he was not on guard, the dog might suddenly jump out and bite him again, just like it did just now.
If he is on guard, he cannot act rashly and cannot allow the opponent to seize his flaws and opportunities.
The most important thing is that he can't afford to delay.
Although the bite wound on his neck was not serious enough to kill him on the spot, it was bleeding uncontrollably. It wouldn't be long before he became extremely weak or even fainted and died due to excessive blood loss.
"I never thought that one day I would be forced to this extent by a dog..."
Colclough, who gradually calmed down in the crisis, couldn't help feeling a little frustrated and unwilling.
Not long ago, he was full of pride because the internationally famous Night Owl had been defeated by him. Now he was going to be defeated by a dog. How could he accept this
"Xiao Xu, how did you train your dog?"
Luo Hongyun's eyes looked a little strange when he looked at Xia Xu at this moment.
If Colclough could understand Atto's intention, he would naturally understand it.
He actually knew that Atuo's physical fitness had improved a lot recently, but he didn't expect that a dog could be so smart and have such a strong combat awareness.
If I put myself in Colclough's shoes, it seems that I would feel extremely uncomfortable if I were in his situation. My body would be bleeding and my life would be slipping away, but I still had to concentrate on guarding against the enemy's fatal attack.
This enemy is still a dog!
This seems to be the most uncomfortable and unacceptable thing! I am even worse than a dog
Wait... No, I haven't defeated this bald white guy yet...
If you think about it carefully, when the dog was confronting the bald white man just now, its performance seemed ordinary, but in fact there were many details and strategies involved, and the fighting skills it displayed were actually extremely powerful.
"Well, I said this is Atuo's own talent, do you believe it, Uncle Luo?"
Xia Xu, who had originally planned to let Atuo contain the harassment, naturally understood why Atuo did this. After hearing Luo Hongyun's words, he smiled awkwardly: "You know Atuo's origins. I just spent 200,000 to buy him not long ago. If he needs training, he will be trained at the police dog base."
"Why do I hear you saying that I am not as good as 200,000..."
Luo Hongyun's face darkened a little.
