The Big Brother Forgives
At this moment, Su Hao's overall combat power was not much worse than in his previous life. Especially with the drawing of a few commonly used runes, he was quite adept. Even without the assistance of the golden threadworm, it didn't affect him much, only requiring a bit more time to activate them.
But for battles that could be resolved in just one round, the impact was negligible.
Su Hao cast a "Barrier" on himself just in case, then prepared the "Blinding Light" rune. He stepped forward, shooting towards the "Roamer".
"So fast!" The Roamer's pupils shrank, his eyes tightly fixed on Su Hao's figure.
It was precisely because of Su Hao's speed that the Roamer felt at ease.
Those who were fast usually had low attack power. He was extremely confident in his defense. He wondered what the opponent could use to break through his defense.
That tiny, broken knife in his hand?
Ridiculous!
He raised his fist and aimed it at Su Hao's dark silhouette. With the densely packed steel spikes on his gauntlets, one punch would be enough to end the fight.
Su Hao raised his left hand and spread it open.
"Blinding Light"!
A sudden burst of light turned the surroundings as bright as day. The Roamer's eyes, adapted to the darkness, were struck by the intense flash, causing him to lose his vision. He let out a low, miserable cry, closing his eyes, and his punch lost its target.
Yet, he continued to swing forward blindly, trusting in his defense.
"Shadow Slip"!
Su Hao nimbly dodged the punch, circling to the Roamer's side and rear.
"Kidney Strike"!
The technique was actually called "Treacherous Stab", but because of his height, targeting the waist and abdomen was easier, so he temporarily renamed the move.
But it didn't matter; the Roamer had no room to dodge. The plain short knife easily plunged into his lower back.
"Ah!" A piercing wail echoed in the night.
Su Hao withdrew the knife and quickly distanced himself.
Blood flowed from the wound like a spring, and the flesh around the wound sizzled as if corroded.
It looked painful.
The Roamer instantly lost his strength, clutching his lower back and staggering.
Su Hao slowly walked forward, intending to land a few more strikes to completely incapacitate the opponent before taking a piece of flesh and leaving.
Unexpectedly, the Roamer suddenly fell to his knees. The shell on his arm quickly receded, and he pulled out a small knife from somewhere, cutting into his arm with force.
"Pfft!"
A piece of flesh was cut from the Roamer's arm. He threw the knife to the ground, held the flesh in both hands, and shouted loudly, "Spare me, Big Brother! Here is my flesh as an offering."
The entire process was so smooth it seemed rehearsed many times, leaving Su Hao and Yashan stunned.
Su Hao glanced at Yashan and noticed their common trait: both were reckless yet afraid of death.
Although Su Hao sometimes acted impulsively, he wasn't afraid of death!
Could it be that all extended armor series of extraordinary beings had this characteristic?
Su Hao signaled Yashan to take the flesh.
Yashan, despite his extreme fear, overcame it for the sake of evolution. He slowly approached, took the Roamer's flesh, and swallowed it in two bites.
Su Hao wanted to loudly ask Yashan: couldn't you leave some for me?
But what's done was done, so he didn't pursue it further. He took out a small empty bottle from his pocket and handed it to the Roamer, saying, "Fill it with blood!"
The Roamer obediently took the bottle, waited at his lower back, and quickly filled it. He then cautiously asked, "Do you need more flesh? I still have some!"
Su Hao smiled and said, "No need, you keep it!"
Since the objective was achieved, it was time to leave quickly.
Su Hao turned and called to Yashan, "Let's go!"
At this moment, Yashan's eyes were filled with undisguised excitement.
He even wanted to kneel down and hug Su Hao's leg, calling him dad.
Of course, only if Su Hao would accept it.
Su Hao and Yashan quickly left.
The Roamer, left behind, breathed a sigh of relief. This was indeed a narrow escape! He was very fortunate that his reaction was quick enough. If he had encountered one of those high-level extraordinary beings who would kill without a word, he would be dead.
"Sigh, unlucky to encounter someone with an extended armor series, so unfortunate!"
Feeling extremely unlucky, he got up, looked at the wounds on his arm and lower back, then held his breath, and focused his mind. Blood vessels emerged in his eyes.
Suddenly, flesh buds within the wound began to grow rapidly like tentacles, quickly sealing the wound, followed by the growth of a thick shell, completely covering the injury.
From the outside, it looked as if he was never hurt.
"I'll treat the wound on my arm later. I need to find a safe place and leave here quickly. Tonight was a total loss; not only did I gain nothing, but I also lost some flesh. Unlucky!" The Roamer picked up the small knife on the ground and swiftly left.
Su Hao and Yashan quickly ran to the edge of the city and found an abandoned, uninhabited house.
"This place will do!" Su Hao said, pushing the door open and entering.
Yashan, already drowsy, followed Su Hao into the room and immediately fell asleep.
Su Hao took out a bunch of small empty bottles from his pocket and neatly arranged them beside Yashan.
Then, holding a small knife, he sat beside, waiting.
How could Su Hao waste such a great observation opportunity?
He planned to draw blood from Yashan every five minutes during his evolution, collect it, and observe the genetic changes throughout the process.
Looking at the neatly arranged small bottles in front of him, Su Hao regretted, "Too few bottles; otherwise, I could draw blood every minute. What a pity!"
If Yashan knew Su Hao's plan, he might have trouble sleeping peacefully.
…
Meanwhile, the Roamer weaved through several turns and arrived in front of a three-story building. He knocked on the side door with a specific pattern, three long and two short.
The side door quickly opened, and the Roamer immediately slipped inside, the door closing behind him.
Only then did the Roamer let out a long breath.
Safe!
Inside, a tall, delicate-looking but somewhat frail girl saw the Roamer covered in blood and missing a chunk of flesh from his arm. She covered her mouth in shock and said, "Vard, you're injured? You can get hurt too?"
Vard didn't want to lose his prestige in front of the girl and snorted, "Shari, look at my arm. As you can see, I'm indeed injured, but do you think this wound was given by the enemy? You're wrong. No one can leave a wound on me, except myself!"
In his mind, Vard added silently, "Because any wounds left by the enemy, I've already healed. Haha!"
Shari didn't believe his nonsense and directly asked, "What happened? Didn't you kill that wretch, Sharo?"
Mentioning Sharo, Shari's exquisite face was filled with killing intent.
Vard shrugged and said, "She's too cunning. She evaded the ambush and then transformed into a night owl and flew away. I couldn't catch up."
Shari wanted to call Vard useless, but considering he helped her and got injured, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Missing this opportunity, who knew when she could locate Sharo again?
Shari clenched her fists tightly.
When would she be able to kill that wretch Sharo, her own sister!
Vard comforted, "Don't worry, Shari. Next time we meet her, she won't escape."
He then walked away, heading up to the second floor, saying as he walked, "I need to report to the leader. I ran into two inexplicable guys this time."
