Chapter 666: Not Dirty (Please Vote for This Huge Chapter)

The sharp blade flashed across the light of the dome, cutting off the nearest tentacle.

With twisted and squirming flesh and blood splashing on the ground, He Ao jumped up and closed the distance between him and the monster transformed by the leader of the Viper Gang.

And during this process, he kept changing his moves to cut off the tentacles coming from the air.

The monster obviously did not expect that the knife in He Ao's hand was so sharp. After He Ao cut off several tentacles in succession, it decisively gave up its original aggressive style and began to attack He Ao with several tentacles.

He Ao, who was originally rushing towards the monster, suddenly slowed down because of this cooperation.

Weapons for close combat are often inch longer and stronger. Although these tentacles are mutated biological limbs, they can actually be regarded as long weapons, and they are more unpredictable than long weapons made of ordinary steel. .

Under normal circumstances, the wider the area, the more powerful the long weapons can be, while the narrower the area, the more flexible the short weapons will be.

The top floor was completely transformed by the boss of the Viper Gang into an open space without partitions. It cannot be said that he was completely unprepared for the possibility of fighting with people here.

When fighting in such an area, the monster itself has a first-mover terrain advantage.

The butterfly knife in He Ao's hand is only over 40 centimeters including the handle. What he has to do now is to close the distance with the monster. Only in close combat can he make the best use of the butterfly knife in his hand. The advantage of the knife is its short size and flexibility.

The monster clearly understands his intentions, so it has been using its tentacles to cooperate and hinder his actions.

The tentacle monster transformed by the boss of the Poison Scorpion Gang this time is still quite different from the tentacle monster He Ao met before. The monsters He Ao met before have basically lost their minds, and their attacks are relatively rough. Some of the more obvious tricks can be deceived.

But the boss of the Poisonous Scorpion Gang obviously retained more sense and studied the tentacle tactics in depth.

It can be seen from the favorable terrain he arranged and the distance he deliberately created from the beginning with He Ao.

At the same time, he will also use three to four tentacles to attack together.

Although his coordination is not complicated, it basically consists of a sheep attack or a frontal attack, a sneak attack, and a person who is at a distance and ready to attack to provide deterrence.

However, in his cooperation, the positioning of each tentacle is not unchanged. The sheep-attacking one may make a sudden sneak attack, and the one that provides deterrence and attracts attention will become a real frontal attack once the attention is relaxed.

In a sense, these tentacles have basically formed the prototype of a 'formation', and these 'tentacle groups' composed of three groups will not attack in groups one by one, and there may even be three to four. The team simultaneously launches an attack on Ho O.

These groups will also maintain formation positions with each other.

Several times, when He Ao was concentrating on dealing with a group, he was suddenly attacked by the group next to him who was preparing to attack. If he hadn't reacted quickly and had a cane as a 'second weapon' to resist, he might have been pierced through the chest. .

Obviously, the monster transformed by the boss of the Viper Gang adapted the method of commanding group battles into his own method of using tentacles.

Moreover, these tentacles grown on his own body are not hindered by individuals not obeying instructions in group battles and the command system's ineffective communication. They can enforce orders and prohibitions.

Not only is he powerful, he is also smart and talented in fighting.

Except at the beginning of the battle, he had several tentacles cut off by He Ao due to his reckless attack. In the later stage, he basically relied on the cooperation of the tentacles to suppress He Ao, preventing He Ao from advancing even half a point.

He Ao can barely block the monster's attack through the power of super memory, the method of gathering power through martial arts, and the weapons blessed by divine consciousness and divine consciousness, and can even hurt the monster.

But his body is very fragile, far less than the strength he is showing at the moment. Any slight contact from the monster may directly cause him to be seriously injured.

However, as the battle continued, He Ao also discovered that the method of using this monster's tentacles was not unlimited.

First of all, he cannot control too many tentacles at one time. He Ao has only been attacked by four groups of tentacles at most, and the attack time was very short. Basically, he gave up immediately after failing to succeed in one attack.

However, that attack caused a severe impact on He Ao's crutches.

It is rare that three groups of tentacles attack at the same time. Most of the time, one or two groups attack alternately, consuming He Ao's energy.

This means that this kind of tentacle warfare method is not without consumption. It may not be so easy to control so many tentacles to perform so many fine movements. It is a very mentally consuming thing.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the monster hides part of its strength and waits until He Ao has formed an inherent cognition and relaxes his vigilance before suddenly attacking.

However, there should not be too many hidden parts. If there are too many hidden parts, there is no need to hide them. If you take them out directly, you can crush He Ao at this moment.

In addition to energy, there is another thing that limits the monster's combat effectiveness, and that is the recovery speed.

The tentacle monsters that He Ao had fought before had more or less strong self-healing abilities. Even if they were cut off, they could squirm a little, and the section would stop bleeding quickly, and the broken part could still attack easily.

After the monster's tentacles were cut off, the blood flow continued, and the monster could only let the tentacles wrap around themselves to stop the bleeding, which resulted in the tentacles basically losing their combat effectiveness.

This may be the price of 'sanity'. When the leader of the Viper Gang became a monster, he maintained a certain degree of 'sanity' and made himself more like a 'human being'. In the same way, he may also have to accept some 'human beings' Weaknesses.

This resulted in the monster rarely attacking blindly. After the two reached a stalemate, the monster basically stopped letting several groups of tentacles attack together. Instead, it started the classic wheel tactic, consuming He Ao one after another. the power of.

Of course, He Ao is not a vegetarian. He can always cut off one or two of the monster's tentacles in the break of battle.

"Old sir, your own strength is not that strong. You should have used some special method to gain such strong explosive power. This kind of power should not last long, right?"

The head held in the air by the tentacles stared at He Ao, "You will die if you wait until the end. You still have a granddaughter here. Are you willing to see her die with you? If you give up resistance now, I can protect you. My granddaughter has a chance to survive. You don’t have to worry about my betrayal. The entire underground world of St. John City knows that I stick to my word and I will keep my promise.”

He Ao raised his head and glanced at him. He didn't speak. Instead, he suddenly concentrated his strength on his arms. He looked at the gap where his head was distracted by talking, and cut off the two tentacles that were fighting him with one blow.

How can a person who can easily bend the boundaries between enemies and friends because of interests have the option of keeping his promise?

Most likely, he will only do things that maximize his own interests.

Of course, He Ao wasn't just guessing the character of the leader of the Viper Gang based on inference, he had a better way.

At the very beginning of the battle, he placed a mark on the leader of the Viper Gang.

The result of the monster transformed by the leader of the Viper Gang has higher sanity is that the mark of super memory can easily read his surface thoughts, instead of being like other crazy monsters he met before, which can only read some chaos. thoughts.

To possess people's strengths is to bear their weaknesses.

Through this kind of 'mind reading', He Ao can also understand why the monster suddenly spoke out and tried to blackmail He Ao through Jia Qian.

Because 'he' can't hold it any longer.

In this monster's body, there is not only one absolutely clear and rational mind, but it is still full of all kinds of chaotic babble.

As the time it takes to turn into a monster increases, these chaotic murmurs are also rapidly eroding the sanity of the leader of the Viper Gang, trying to completely turn him into a monster.

So he said that He Ao couldn't hold on for long, but actually he himself couldn't hold on for long either.

After all, gaining power comes at a price.

After He Aoshi reacted and cut off the monster's two tentacles, he further shortened the distance between him and the monster.

This monster also knew that it could not convince He Ao. While he controlled a set of tentacles to continue dragging He Ao, he mobilized another set of tentacles to quickly extend forward and rush towards Jia Qian who had retreated to the door.

At this time, Jia Qian, who was holding the Gauss gun, gathered all her strength, suddenly pulled the trigger, and fired a shot in the direction of the monster. Then she rolled sideways out of the door frame with the help of the recoil, and hid behind the door. back.

The bullet that created a sonic boom passed through the void, streaked along the monster's head, and shattered the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

At this moment, the tentacle controlled by the monster paused for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect that Jia Qian could resist to this extent and effectively and quickly.

Although his shooting skills were not good, he did not hit the target, but missed a lot.

But this is a little girl who looks less than ten years old. Is this reasonable?

Ordinary children would be so frightened just seeing him like this that they wouldn't even be able to drag him away.

He didn't know that Jia Qian had seen many monsters before following He Ao, but he was clearly aware of one thing.

This little girl is a born warrior.

Some things really depend on talent.

We can't let her grow up!

The howling cold wind passed through the holes in the floor-to-ceiling windows and scratched the monster's face, bringing his thoughts back to reality.

And just when he was about to control more tentacles to hunt down Jia Qian, an old figure appeared in front of him.

He stared at the wrinkled cheek, which looked like it had been cut by a knife, and at the cold look in the dark brown eyes.

That look seemed to tell him.

You are distracted.

Immediately afterwards, there was the light of the cold butterfly knife.

The surprise caused by Jia Qian's monster only lasted a very short moment, and the distraction caused by it was also a very short moment.

But He Ao seized this brief opportunity, forcibly gathered strength on his legs, and broke through the final distance between him and the monster in this very short moment.

At this moment, the monster had no time to chase Jia Qian. Facing He Ao who was so close in front of him, he had to quickly withdraw his tentacles in front of him to block He Ao's attack.

He had just attacked Jia Qian because he wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao for He Ao.

And He Ao responded to him by surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.

The butterfly knife enhanced by divine consciousness scraped through the tentacles that had been retracted in a hurry, cutting off these long strips of flesh one by one, and slashed towards the center of the monster's torn chest.

There is where the energy of this monster gathers.

boom--

The monster's body had no choice but to retreat under the attack, and hit the broken floor-to-ceiling window. With a violent and crisp sound, the huge floor-to-ceiling window was knocked open.

The howling cold wind rushed in crazily along the huge gap, blowing through the sticky tentacles and the old man's pale hair.

Two tentacles stretched out to both sides and wrapped around the pillars on both sides of the glass window, helping the monster stabilize its body and avoid the fate of falling from a high altitude.

This is more than a hundred meters in the air. Even if the monster may be able to survive the fall with the help of other obstacles in the air, serious injury is inevitable.

But He Ao was not affected by the cold wind. His blade was getting closer and closer. The monster's tentacles wrapped around the two pillars gave a final tug, throwing his body upwards and flying into the air.

He escaped the fatal blow, but he did not completely dodge He Ao's attack. The sharp blade continued to cut off several of his tentacles and carved a huge wound from top to bottom on his thigh. , exposing the bright red flesh and blood inside.

A tentacle quickly wrapped around his thigh, stopping the blood on his thigh. At the same time, the monster rolled backwards, retracted its tentacles, and landed behind the sofa.

He Ao also inserted the crutch into the ground while attacking, and then held on to the crutch to stabilize his body to avoid falling from the tall building due to being unable to control the impact.

And almost at the same time that he stabilized his body and turned around to look at the monster behind him, the monster had directly wrapped its tentacles around the sofa on the ground and threw it towards He Ao.

The monster lost a lot of tentacles due to the mistake he made just now due to distraction. He was trying to stay at a distance from Heola again.

The sofa flying through the air continued to smash the glass behind He Ao and fell from the air, but it did not affect He Ao's movements. He concentrated his strength on his feet and rushed towards the monster without any regard for loss.

It has to be said that the existence of the butterfly knife has greatly reduced the pressure on He Ao facing the monster. If he only had a cane in his hand, it would have been difficult to break through the monster's tentacle defense just now. Even if he broke through, he would not be able to Caused so much damage now.

And judging from what He Ao sensed from the mark given to the monster, the huge trauma just now greatly affected the monster's spirit, causing those chaotic murmurs to further erode the monster's spirit.

The flying furniture brushed against He Ao's body one by one, including the TV, sofa, wine cabinet, and refrigerator. The monster threw almost everything it could come into contact with and hit He Ao.

But these cannot hinder He Ao's figure.

He once again closed the distance between him and the monster, and the butterfly knife in his hand was spinning in the air. This time, the monster still grouped its tentacles to deal with He Ao, trying to hinder He Ao's figure.

However, this time, the cooperation between his groups is no longer such a 'tacit understanding', and the mental impact has been reflected on the combat level.

In contrast, the monster's originally injured tentacles were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even sprouting new flesh.

Crazy also has the blessing of madness.

And there is only an exchange between sanity and madness. During this very short period of time, the monster will be temporarily weak.

And this is He Ao's only chance.

He Ao quickly broke through the tentacle's outer defense and once again pulled his body close to the monster.

At this moment, he almost didn't do any defense and turned all his strength into attack.

The monster that was accelerating back suddenly stopped, then repeated its old trick and wrapped its tentacles around a nearby pillar, preparing to throw itself out again.

Mental disturbance!

And at this moment, He Ao gathered his spiritual power and impacted the monster's sea of ​​consciousness.

The originally chaotic sanity and madness were completely confused under the influence of this spiritual power, and the monster's body fell into a brief stiffness.

puff--

The sharp blade pierced the monster's chest and emerged from his back.

The monster's body trembled, and the chaotic energy destroyed his body almost instantly.

He tried to use his last strength to control the tentacles around him and slowly shrank. He pushed his suspended head back to his neck, trying to gather his body into a human shape again.

He tried several times, but ultimately failed and could only manage to look like a reluctant human being.

The blood stained his ferocious body red.

Eventually, he gave up on the idea.

He Ao stared at the monster, pulled out the butterfly knife in his hand, and took two steps back.

After He Ao drew the knife, the monster's body lost its support and fell to the ground. Behind him, a rusty old iron cabinet that seemed to be quite old was exposed.

He suddenly stopped just now, as if he touched this standing cabinet.

He sat back on the standing cabinet and let the bright red blood with purple brilliance dye the carpet red.

He looked at He Ao, and seemed to be looking at the bright city and the dark night sky behind the broken windows behind He Ao. His ferocious head revealed a terrifying smile,

"Old sir, your power and means exceed my expectations. I have a hunch that you will turn this city upside down. Unfortunately, I can't see it anymore."

He took off his bracelet and placed it on the ground in front of He Ao. "The password is 741827. At six o'clock tomorrow morning, the black market software will conduct live biological detection."

741827

The number sounds like a date, August 27, 741.

This year is Federation Year 758, and Year 741 was seventeen years ago.

The leader of the Viper Gang in front of him is at least thirty years old, and it is unlikely that it is his birthday.

He Ao looked at him and asked calmly, "Is this your mother's death anniversary?"

At this time, Jia Qian seemed to hear the conversation in the room outside the door. She held up the Gauss gun, poked her head little by little, and glanced inside the door.

After making sure that He Ao was not in any danger, she walked over cautiously.

The man sitting on the ground did not answer He Ao's words. He turned around with difficulty and looked at Jia Qian, who was slowly approaching.

He reached out, opened the standing cabinet behind him, and took out a rusty metal biscuit box.

Then he slowly opened the lid of the cookie box.

A stack of coins was exposed to the air.

These coins seem to be a long time old, most of them are 10-cent and 25-cent coins, with only a few 50-cent and 1 federal coin coins.

At this time, Jia Qian walked in front of him.

He looked at Jia Qian and poured the coins onto the standing cabinet with difficulty.

He stretched out his blood-covered hands and carefully spread out the coins little by little, arranging them one by one, as if he wanted Jia Qian to see these coins.

"Child, take this money and buy some milk."

Jia Qian watched his actions and remained unmoved.

He looked at the girl's face and pushed the coins in front of him forward, "These money were left to me by my mother,"

He stared at Jia Qian, his voice was slow and rough,

"Not dirty."

Jia Qian looked at the dull-eyed monster in front of her. After a brief pause, she stretched out her little hand and picked up the blood-stained coins on the counter one by one.

The man stared at Jia Qian, and there seemed to be a faint glimmer of light floating in his dark eyes. In that flickering light, a dilapidated but clean hut was reflected.

In the last moment, a dull smile formed on the corner of his ferocious mouth, and the mottled shadows attached to his body gradually rose and then disappeared suddenly.

Invisible hands took away his soul.

He Ao bent down and picked up the bracelet on the ground.
