Stray Chapter 36: Sympathy
Xia Ran didn't even blink her eyes, as if she was quite contemptuous of the enemy's display and could see clearly, like a phantom, a torrential attack.
In fact, he does have the capital to despise the other party, because it is impossible for all attacks to hit him. The tentacles of the parasitic beasts surrounding him like two giant pythons will automatically attack him. Block all attacks!
The sound of clang is endless!
Bone sharp blades collided frantically in the air at a speed that human optic nerve reflexes couldn't capture, and they had no idea how many times they attacked and defended each other in one second.
So, normal people don't expect to play close combat with parasitic beasts, even if they are born in a soldier king, they will only be cut into pieces in an instant.
Xia Ran doesn't need to worry, the alienated left hand is enough to support a perfect defense in a one-on-one situation, and the parasitic beast on the opposite side is completely impossible to break, and compared to him, he has an advantage—
That is, as a human host who retains his own consciousness, he still uses the power of action, and the complete parasitic beast on the opposite side can only control his main body when he is going all out.
The part of the human body below the neck is standing there dumbfounded and motionless. Look at how good the posture is, it is completely a standard living target, and it is impossible to justify it.
Xia Ran ignored all the strong winds, the phantoms of tentacles, and the clanging sound of metal clashing, and approached the past step by step until she came to a distance of more than one meter in front of the parasitic beast on the opposite side. Stand still.
The next moment, his right hand was directly raised high. I don't know when a single-edged long knife with a sinister shape appeared. It seemed to be drawn directly from the air. It was even more bizarre than magic. !
Then, without hesitation, he swung down the blade in his hand—
Naturally it's not that easy to slap the head, and the parasitic beast didn't just accept its fate. At the critical moment, it split a tentacle to defend like lightning, and it blocked the fatal blow dangerously and dangerously. I saved myself from being beheaded...
Well, the effect is very significant. Its resolute behavior probably delayed this fate by 0.1 seconds, and caused its precious life to be extended for an extra moment... just a moment.
Because there is one less tentacle used to counter the violent attack of Xia Ran's left hand, the defensive circle constructed before has naturally appeared flawed!
And Xia Ran's alienated left hand caught this flaw in an instant, a tentacle pierced straight through it, and the terrifying bone blade reflected the cold light in the sun, with a piercing air The low whistling sound slashed towards the neck of the opposite parasitic beast like lightning!
Immediately afterwards, there was a slight sound as if a piece of paper was torn, and hot blood splashed high!
"Hmm-!!"
The main body of the parasitic beast on the neck of the white-collar office worker was cut off by the roots, and the rest of the body lost all its vitality in an instant, as if the bones were taken away, and it was all at once. He knelt down and fell to the ground softly.
The main body of the parasitic beast flew out about ten meters, rolled on the ground several times, struggled and spasmed and let out an unwilling groan.
But no matter how unwilling it is, it can't change the outcome of death, because the terrifying injury on the neck of the host's body is the kind that any doctor will only shake his head when he sees it. A lot of blood spurted out!
“…!!”
Xia Ran stepped aside in time to avoid being splattered with blood, and his face changed slightly.
Of course it wasn't because of the tragic death of the enemy being beheaded that he felt unacceptable. During this time, he had seen many tragic corpses... both parasitic beasts killed by him and parasitic beasts. Humans killed by beasts have long since lost their faces.
Let's not say killing parasitic beasts, killing is not a problem at all. After all, the most terrifying thing about killing is that it is not difficult at all.
The reason why Xia Ran's expression changed slightly was because he saw a faint white light emerge from the parasitic beast at the moment when it was headed by the owl, and in less than half a second, it condensed into a light spot.
——Is the key exploded again?
Before he could react, in his consciousness, the mighty voice that had gradually become familiar was also followed by a reminder with a constant tone—
"Save Kana Kimima, get points x3000, d-level karma crystal x1, slightly increase the world's interference"
Huh?
It took several seconds for Xia Ran to return to her senses, and she was so happy that she almost couldn't help laughing. This was a pure windfall and was not in his original plan.
Could it be that the girl named Kana Junjima will actually die in the future, or even die at the hands of this parasitic beast, but today, due to her own mistakes, she just solved the fate of this fate. factor?
Because he really doesn't remember the main plot very much, he has only a general impression of many things, and he only barely remembers a little character of the girl named Kana Junjima, as for her fate is not very clear. ...so I can only guess at this moment.
But he thinks his thoughts may be the truth, otherwise, there is no way to explain what just happened... It can't be a gift package that just hit him, right?
I didn't dwell on this matter for too long. Xia Ran took the bone sharp-edged sword directly back into the private space, occupying a space.
Then bent down, touched the corpse casually, and put away the white light spot that others could not see. Anyway, the key would not occupy the item compartment.
“…”
“…”
The alienated left hand circled the tentacles like a snake, came to him and circled a few times, but didn't say anything, just quickly retracted, with a little bit of hesitant to speak. .
Xia Ran suddenly felt a sense of relief. Sure enough, the character of this taciturn parasitic beast suits him.
Although he didn't feel that he could keep some secrets hidden, after all, from the current situation, his left hand would accompany him for a while. Even at certain times, the parasitic beast consciousness in the left hand can be specifically blocked.
It seems that when he opened the box before, he was able to specifically block the consciousness of his left hand.
But you can't count on your left hand not noticing what just happened, like when he pulled out a machete out of nowhere and then made it disappear out of nowhere?
So, Xia Ran is ready to explain to him. Anyway, the white space does not prohibit the lost person from revealing this content. What I didn't expect was that although the left hand was indeed puzzled, there was no action to explore.
That's it for now.
He didn't waste time dealing with the scene, he turned around and walked quickly in the original direction, but he was not in a hurry, because the remaining parasitic beast was dealt with by Izumi Shinichi and Uda Mori. Can't make too much waves.
So he is still in the mood to calculate what he has just achieved and how much his current worth and capital have reached.
Because the previous huge sum had been spent to exchange for free attribute points, there was nothing left, and after that he hunted and killed eight parasitic beasts one after another, each with only The kill reward of 100 points, if added up in this way, Xia Ran's previous remaining points are 1350 points.
Now he has 3000 points in his account, and there is a separate 100-point kill reward, so his points have risen to 4450 points again... and he can exchange two free attribute points again.
In addition, there is a B-level and a D-level causal crystal, and this high-level currency cannot be acted rashly.
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, because there is currently no shortage of anything...
Well, it can't be said that there is no shortage of everything, but it should be said that there is a lack of everything. It's just that there is no such shortcoming or strengthening part that urgently needs to be made up. Even if he adds two more points impatiently, it will not make any qualitative change in his skills and expertise.
Xia Ran felt that if possible, she had better wait until after the return of this mission, and then think about it carefully.
After all, that day is not far away, and if he is fully counted, there will be more than a month... and if his plan goes well and kills the final boss, the degree of interference will be further improved.
Then the return time limit will be further shortened, perhaps the moment after the kill is completed, it will return directly.
So, Xia Ran feels that he has enough patience, and won't say that he can't keep things at all... After initially possessing the ability to protect himself for the "now", he also needs to start thinking about the development direction of the "future". .
Because the parasitic beast was slaughtered by him before it escaped too far, Xia Ran didn't leave too far, turned a street, and returned to the place before.
To his surprise, Kana Junjima didn't run away. Although this girl was pale, shivering, and filled with tears, she still insisted on not abandoning her friend.
It's just that the little gangster was in a coma with happiness, and she didn't know what happened. As a girl, she was not strong enough to drag such a tall boy away from the scene. too realistic.
"Ah-!! You, you, you, you...don't come here!!"
Hearing the footsteps behind him, he looked back and found that the monster from before had returned, and Kana Junjima was scared to death.
Xia Ran glanced at her calmly, but stopped, but it was such a cooperative attitude, which made the girl even more at a loss.
Her mind was in a mess, she looked around helplessly and couldn't find anyone who could help her, and she didn't dare to let this silence continue, so she subconsciously asked—
"What about... the person you just chased after?"
"I killed it."
Xia Ran pushed her glasses and said without concealment.
"You!...Why do you do this... Don't you have any sympathy?" Kana Kimima's face became even paler, her eyes were terrified, she still didn't think that the person before was is a monster.
After all, compared to that, the boy who is not far in front of her is the real monster, and she witnessed it with her own eyes.
"Of course I did, I didn't know how sad I was when I killed it, but I laughed out loud..." Xia Ran showed a subtle expression, trying to explain how compassionate she was.
