Chapter 6 introduces an even more formidable character
At this moment, they arrived at a crossroads. Yang Ying turned the front of the motorcycle, which let out a whistling sound as it headed down the road to the right
The ape collided with the wall at the edge of the roof and fell down, missing the chance to escape to the roof by just a hair's breadth; unfortunately, that slight distance made all the difference between life and death
Yang Ying rode his motorcycle at high speed, passing through two blocks. The streets were littered with vehicles reduced to scrap metal, along with bodies and blood. Some of these were the result of traffic accidents, while the rest were caused by external attacks.
Arrived
Is there another formidable figure emerging again
Meanwhile, Yang Ying suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, as a violent energy emanated from several blocks away, infused with intense resentment and madness, rapidly approaching him
However, he himself has never encountered the centipede, yet the centipede is able to find him. Is this achievable through mental power? Yang Ying is quite skeptical, which indicates that this creature possesses a detection ability unknown to humans
Therefore, the eyesight of the ape-man can be considered as ruined
The ape turned and fled, propelling itself with its legs to leap up to a height of 10 meters, aiming to jump onto the roof beside it
Without understanding how the centipede discovered him, he would not be able to escape
Most of the buildings along the road are only about two to three stories high, which makes this long-legged wheel appear quite enormous
Then the ape man withdrew his hand and reached for his belt, intending to cover the gun
Yang Ying aimed his gun at the ape-man and fired wildly, hitting it
The rumbling sound drew closer once again, and this time it was actually ahead!
Yang Ying had already run to a place where the corpse of the ape-man was no longer visible, and the feeling of danger not only did not dissipate, but instead intensified.
Suddenly, a centipede rushed out from the intersection ahead, and it surprisingly knew to circle in front of Yang Ying
Yang Ying drew the laser gun and shot at the centipede. The laser mostly rebounded off the creature's shell, leaving only small black dots on the surface.
Yang Ying extended his hand towards the laser gun at the waist of the ape-man, maintaining a safe distance of five meters. He was intensely focused, contemplating lifting the gun and drawing it into his own hand
Yang Ying continuously fired at it, hitting it with over ten shots in total, each bullet creating a large hole in its body, including several critical areas. The ape-man screamed in agony, its two-meter tall, muscular body collapsed and lay still.
The ape-man did not notice Yang Ying's movements, but it felt a sense of unease, swinging the lightsaber even faster. The muscles on its arms bulged with thick veins, indicating that it was exerting all its strength. Moreover, the ape-man desperately squinted its eyes to capture Yang Ying's position, advancing forward. With each step, it covered a distance of nearly one meter, rapidly closing the gap between itself and Yang Ying. The ape-man also strained to open its eyes a slit to catch sight of Yang Ying's position, pushing forward. With each step, it covered a distance of nearly one meter, rapidly closing the gap between itself and Yang Ying.
It is known that after he killed the ape-man, the centipede immediately became aware of it. This can be understood; perhaps the centipede and the ape-man share some form of spiritual connection, where the death of one allows the other to receive the news. Such situations frequently occur in novels
Yang Ying turned around and saw a wheel, two stories high and adorned with dozens of menacing insect-like legs, swiftly cutting in from the intersection behind him like a flash of lightning, rumbling as it rolled rapidly towards him
Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief; the centipede's agility was no better than that of a motorcycle, and by skillfully maneuvering turns, he could easily shake it off.
The laser gun is aimed at Yang Ying
Since it was within reach, Yang Ying simply tore down the nameplate as a memento of having killed a primate, placing it alongside the laser gun and lightsaber in the motorcycle's sidecar
wheel
However, at this moment, Yang Ying has another advantage, which is that the ape-man cannot see him. Analyzing his own situation, Yang Ying believes that mental strength can enhance his senses. For example, mental strength can improve vision, hearing, and intuition, but it cannot replace vision, hearing, and intuition.
Yang and the Eagle of Books shouted loudly. Although he was pushed out by the ape man, his focus did not waver. He turned in mid-air, facing the ape man, and simultaneously threw the kitchen knife from his hand. The knife spun and precisely lodged itself in the ape man's left wrist, preventing the ape man from reaching the laser gun that suddenly flew out from his belt.
In the contest against the ape-like creature, Yang Ying emerged victorious; however, he was completely drained of physical strength and energy. He felt a severe headache and had no desire to take any further action
Magnetic levitation motorcycles float in the air, and when moving, there is no need to consider the friction of the ground, allowing speeds to easily exceed 200 kilometers per hour
I am determined
The entire world fell silent, the heavy breathing of the ape-man, the sound of the lightsaber slicing through the ionized air, and Yang Ying's own breath, which had originally been amplified and clearly audible through the helmet's respiratory filter, now all faded away from him.
Yang Ying was fully aware that in a direct confrontation, he was no match for the ape-man. The ape-man's telekinetic abilities alone surpassed his by several times, not to mention its immense physical strength and the disparity in weaponry. If he were to engage it in close combat, the outcome would inevitably be that he would not last even a second, instantly being torn to shreds
Yang Ying carefully observed and discovered that it was a centipede at least 20 meters long, its entire body covered with a metallic sheen of biological exoskeleton. Its head and tail were curled together in a circular shape, making it resemble a wheel as depicted in the illustrations. The centipede wheel rolled at an astonishing speed, exuding an overwhelming force capable of crushing everything in its path, and even a magnetic motorcycle could not shake it off.
The ape immediately noticed the unusual activity of the laser gun. Its first reaction was to push Yang Ying aside, thus using its left hand, which was covering its face, to shove Yang Ying. A powerful telekinetic force erupted, instantly propelling Yang Ying away.
Not a wheel
The immense inertia brought about by speed nearly caused the motorcycle to crash into the opposite wall. The centipede, being heavier and faster, experienced an even greater inertia, and before it could make a turn, it dashed straight through the intersection.
This intense feeling of danger surpasses that of the time when the ape-like humans first appeared
There is just one more question that needs to be resolved; Yang Ying was pondering in his heart how the centipede had discovered him
Yang Ying certainly did not dare to engage in close combat with it, so he could only turn around and flee. The lightsaber swept past him from behind, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He was wearing a spacesuit; although his skin could not feel the extremely high temperature of the lightsaber, the sensation of imminent death followed him closely.
The outcome of this battle was already determined at the moment Yang Ying obtained the laser gun
No way!
Come here! Hurry and come here!
Yang Ying picked up the lightsaber and simultaneously discovered a glimmer beneath the sparse fur on the ape man's neck. He reached out to push aside the hair and saw that the reflection came from a thin chain connected to a metal nameplate. The nameplate bore a script that Yang Ying had never seen before, which appeared to record the identity and status of the ape man
Even so, he still did not give up his focus, running while struggling to concentrate in order to attract the laser gun
The centipede gradually approached, and Yang Ying had already pushed the motorcycle to its limits. The scenery on both sides of the road seemed to fly backward. He glanced back and saw that the centipede's speed was still increasing, clearly surpassing that of the motorcycle.
The tall ape-like creature and the one-meter-long lightsaber are indeed too far apart; it cannot protect its entire body. Moreover, it is not the kind of character that can block lasers with a lightsaber
In Yang Ying's heart, only the laser gun remained. As his focus deepened, his eyes emitted a deeper shade of red light
At last, the laser gun has moved
Then he mounted the motorcycle and fled
Yang Ying's evaluation of the centipede suddenly rose by two levels; at this moment, a sharp turn would inevitably lead to a collision with the wall, and braking would be an act of self-destruction. He had no way out.
Yang Ying swiftly grasped the gun in his hand with a single move, then fell to the ground and rolled twice. After getting up, he couldn't help but clench his fist and strike a victory pose. After being chased from his doorstep until now, he finally had a weapon he could wield!
Damn it! This centipede is not an idiot!
