Lost Narrative Poetry

Because the town is close to the seaside, has beautiful natural scenery, and the ecological environment in many places is well preserved, it is not difficult to find a quiet and secluded place.

Moreover, Xia Ran had done some homework before, so now it was easier to find a good place to start. The terrain is very superior. Although it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is really suitable for use as a Ambush, set traps and other ways.

Another thing is that once things become impossible, this is also a very suitable place for the party who set up an ambush to turn around and run away. As long as the pre-planned route is followed, it will be difficult for even the parasitic beast to catch up...

Uda Mamoru listened to Xia Ran's introduction to the benefits of this place, and listened to him quickly explain what should be done if an unexpected situation occurs, which direction and route can be used to escape quickly... a strategic retreat, and what can be found along the way. Use it to prevent the enemy from pursuing...

Wait, wait, wait, this is the case.

Just listening like this, this fat man couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Could it be said that this is a real professional? If the roles of both parties were reversed, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have such an idea at all. Even if he ran away, he would just turn around and run away without considering so many complicated issues.

No wonder this high school student can become a parasitic beast hunter, but wasn't he still in school before? Why acquire these unnecessary skills?

Of course Uda Mamoru didn't know how many strange things Xia Ran had dabbled in for some reason——

He was once killed by a bomb on the battlefield, so he specifically looked for war-related information to study; once struggled in the wilderness, he specifically studied knowledge about survival in the wilderness...

Although he has forgotten many things himself, the remaining skills and knowledge that he can still remember are those that he has mastered more deeply. After all, the dangerous environment is really training.

Especially during the previous period, it was impossible for him to fight the parasitic beast head-on. Even if he used righteous means to backstab, there was still the risk of capsizing, and the probability of capsizing was quite high.

——As long as you do it too many times, it’s impossible not to have problems, and you will definitely fail one day.

Maybe there will be no problem after three or two hunts, but if it continues like this, Xia Ran will definitely overturn, maybe next time... This is why he made the decision to equip that special equipment at the expense of his left hand. for the sake of.

But it is precisely because of this that he will carefully plan his escape every time, instead of simply setting a trap and trap himself in it. If he fails to successfully slay the target, he will lose his life. .

He is not that stupid. If the situation goes wrong, he will still choose to escape immediately... and make a strategic retreat.

Because the attack speed of the parasitic beast is very fast, but its movement speed is not necessarily much faster than that of humans. As long as you keep a distance and are not within the attack range of their tentacles, you still have a high chance of escaping.

Especially when the complete parasitic beast shows its attacking posture, it almost just stands motionless. In the original work, Izumi Shinichi slowly walked over with a sharpened metal table leg, and was able to insert the table leg into the host body of the parasitic beast without any technical content, delivering a fatal blow.

Therefore, Xia Ran's proficiency in skills such as selecting ambush terrain and designing retreat routes has improved quite quickly during this period.

However, although he acted so relaxed and casual, Izumi Shinichi on the other side didn't feel this way at all.

…

…

About ten minutes later.

A high school student was walking cautiously and quietly through the woods outside the town.

The dead branches and leaves under his feet were like a thin carpet, making a slight clicking sound as he walked. The surrounding environment is extremely quiet, and the wind blows from time to time, making the woods rustle.

Beads of sweat secreted on his forehead unconsciously, and Quan Xin held his breath unconsciously.

He slowly lowered his voice, not knowing who he was asking: Those two parasitic beasts... where are they now? Are they still around?

It's nearby, and it's constantly changing direction. It won't stay in the same direction... Shinichi, I think you should leave as quickly as possible now.

The alienation of his right hand showed the fighting state of a parasitic beast, while still advising him in a calm tone.

Because Ah You judged very rationally that if a battle broke out next, his side would have no chance of winning.

...

...

Izumi Shinichi didn't speak. Although he seemed cautious, the anxiety and impatience in his face and eyes could not be concealed. He had no way to think rationally now. He just wanted to see the results as quickly as possible and deny his parents' changes. The possibility of becoming a parasitic beast.

Ah You has no feelings, otherwise, he would probably be furious now.

However, as a completely different species from humans, it will not do these meaningless and futile behaviors. Even if it knows that it is simply going to die and dragging itself with it, it also knows that when it cannot change the behavior of the host, internal strife will It has no effect.

The current bad situation will not get better because of its accusations and curses, but will only get worse. So it didn't say anything else, it was just thinking rationally about what to do next as the best choice.

Another ten minutes passed.

Izumi Shinichi was sweating profusely and his face was slightly pale. Although he did not exercise vigorously, under this situation, he still subconsciously held his breath, his heartbeat accelerated, he slowed down, looked around and listened in all directions. …

Even if it was of no use, Ah You reminded him that there was no point in doing so, except that it would consume his physical strength rapidly and approach the limit, but he just had no way to control it.

Coupled with the unavoidable tension and fear, these factors also consume a lot of mental energy. However, the two parasitic beasts on the opposite side seem to be wandering and moving all the time, changing directions. Even Ah You cannot accurately lock on one. direction.

He could only remain in a stalemate in this situation, wasting energy and energy in vain.

Unknowingly, and not knowing how much time had passed, the sun seemed to be sinking behind the horizon.

——Whoosh!

Just when Izumi Shinichi felt in a trance, it became difficult to concentrate, and it seemed that he could fall to the ground and fall asleep at any time, something like the roar of the wind suddenly sounded in his ears!

It seems that there is something dormant that is about to burst out and hurt people! At this moment, the air quickly breaks open!

Izumi Shinichi was in a trance and could hardly react, but subconsciously he still inexplicably imagined a venomous snake hidden in the tree, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on him as he passed by, his twisting and slender body streaking through the air like lightning. A scene...

——Clang!

It was as if the sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and people couldn't help but think of the scene of swords colliding together under a fierce swing, and perhaps violent sparks shooting out, which made Izumi Shinichi suddenly feel a ringing in his ears. .

His nerve reflexes simply couldn't keep up. He just heard a whooshing sound, followed by the clanging sound of swords clashing, and then the dragging feeling that seemed to come from his right hand a beat later.

Because his right hand suddenly started to dance, as if the arm itself was made of rubber material, with incomparable malleability. It separated into two long tentacles, both nearly ten meters long, with the top end A sharp bone blade has been mutated.

The dance was so fast that even an afterimage could not be left. Izumi Shinichi could not see where the attack came from at all. He only felt the strong wind blowing against his face, but subconsciously half-closed his eyes.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!

At this moment, a strange shout came from behind, and Izumi Shinichi had time to look back.

He saw a fat man who didn't know when he appeared behind him. His face was full of a combination of clenched teeth and a strange expression. He clearly looked like he was afraid and resisting, but he still forced himself to be extremely He rushed over bravely.

And during such a process, the man's chin quickly stretched and deformed like dough, mutating into long tentacles and a bone sharp blade that shone with cold light.

——This is the second parasitic beast? !

Izumi Shinichi was shocked, but he could only watch helplessly as the parasitic beast rushed over and launched an attack, but he couldn't do anything.

Sonorous!

The harsh friction and collision of gold and iron sounded again. At the critical moment, it was his right hand that came to the rescue urgently and tried his best to defend, only to be able to block the attack from behind...

But if it's one-on-one, Ah Youdao can indeed support a perfect defense, but if it's one-on-two, he's in a hurry... Two fists are no match for four hands, and the parasitic beast can't withstand a group fight.

Moreover, the host's condition is already very bad, and there is not much energy that can continue to be supplied...

Therefore, although Izumi Shinichi's right hand could barely block the subsequent attack, the previous defense line was naturally broken through.

But two seconds later, a fist hit the high school student's cheek hard, causing his glasses to fly up. His brain felt an unusually strong dizziness, and then he fainted and lost it. Awareness.

Huh?

Xia Ran retracted his fist, his expression astonished as if he was the one being beaten. Was this a blind cat touching a dead mouse? Could it be that this guy's energy and mind have been exhausted to the limit?

It should be so, he didn't think his strength would be this great... But that's fine, just like in the plan, Izumi Shinichi has lost the ability to move.

This is also an important part that was decided from the beginning, because Xia Ran is really a little scared of this kind of creature called protagonist, especially the combat type. Theoretically speaking, they can kill gods with a butcher's knife, and all difficulties are like paper tigers in front of them.

What if we really fight slowly and give Quan Xin a chance to prevent the opponent from suddenly bursting out and killing him? Xia Ran didn't dare to take risks. He had delayed it for so long just to consume Quan Shinichi's mind and energy as much as possible, and then finish the opponent as quickly as possible after the war started.

Izumi Shinichi passed out, but his right hand was still resisting...

Unfortunately, due to the crushing strength of the two parasitic beasts on Xia Ran's side, Izumi Shinichi's right hand could not hold on for a few more seconds.

The whole battle was uneventful, and there wasn’t much worth mentioning——

Because the person responsible for fighting was a parasitic beast, its speed was so fast that even Xia Ran could barely see the afterimage. It's like turning on automatic combat. When you encounter a monster, an animation is triggered and the winner is determined.

He didn't operate it himself, and he couldn't even see clearly, so naturally there was nothing worth explaining.
