Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan can still clearly remember that at that time, Asano Akira slashed the same point of his opponent's weapon with more than a hundred swords, then broke the bone blade first, and then decapitated the head, successfully killing the flesh centipede.

But Ke Lan couldn't replicate that victory: Let's not talk about whether he could hit the same position a hundred times with weapons. Just the bone blade in the opponent's hand had already caused a lot of damage. Variety.

Like its body, this bone blade also has the ability to self-heal. In the previous fight, Ke Lan watched helplessly as the sharp tip of the bone blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, shattered on the ground. But the next second, the bone blade had returned to its intact appearance.

The tiny tentacles stuck between the fragments looked like stringed cheese. In just a moment, they would pull the bone blade fragments back into place and bond them tightly.

The dagger in Ke Lan's hand was not made of Nino alloy. After many collisions and blocks, the blade had cracked and curled. The other one had a short blade polished with a stone awl. It is even lower than a dagger. When fighting against the bone blade in the opponent's hand that can be constantly repaired, I am afraid that Ke Lan will be the one who kills people with the knife in the end...

But...the information hidden in that battle was not the only one.

The flesh centipede was also transformed from a similar piece of meat, but Akira Asano killed it by using the head-to-head method. This shows that the head is also its key point, and the humanoid monster in front of him...

Ke Lan realized that he might have entered a misunderstanding from the beginning.

Since it has been imitating humans, not only the appearance and movement mechanism of humans, but also human weaknesses will also be imitated. To drive this body, it must first have a strong heart to pump blood, oxygen and nutrients. To every corner of the body, in addition, various human organs also need to coordinate with each other... and the most important organ of the human body, the brain, is naturally indispensable.

Now that the biological technology of the Alpha civilization has become so powerful that it can be almost perfectly cloned using a piece of meat - no, the word copy is more accurate than cloning - it can be almost perfectly copied to an identical hound. Come. So, if they want to set up an opponent that completely imitates humans in the trial, they shouldn't come up with a low-quality imitation that only looks good.

In order to verify this, Ke Lan chose the opponent's flank for his next attack - and sure enough, after the stone cone tore open the skin and deeper muscles, Ke Lan caught a glimpse of an intestine-shaped organ deep in the wound - that The coiled mass should be the small intestine, and the thicker coil around the outside is the large intestine. Looking up, you can vaguely catch a glimpse of the corner of the stomach...

As a price, Ke Lan had the little finger and ring finger of his right hand cut off by the bone blade wielded by the opponent.

The dagger fell to the ground with a clang. Ke Lan endured the severe pain and used his thumb and index finger to take out a hemostatic bandage from his breast pocket, then bit open the seal with his teeth and quickly wrapped the injured hand stand up.

This bandage was filled with hemostatic and analgesic drugs, and soon the unbearable pain gradually subsided.

For Ke Lan, the cost of these two fingers is worth it - since the opponent has even simulated this digestive organ that is of little use in battle, then other more important organs must have taken shape... This The vital parts of the thing's body should be exactly the same as those of humans!

As for why bullets can't kill it, that's because firearms are not within the scope allowed by the "rules" of this trial. All injuries caused by firearms are, in a sense, Ke Lan's violation of the rules. Just like cheating in the exam... the points obtained by cheating will be recorded as invalid results, and the trauma caused by the bullet, even if it hits the vital part of the monster, will not have any effect.

Not only the firearms, but also the alloy dagger produced in the human industrial assembly line in Ke Lan's hand. They are weapons that are not allowed by the rules, and the only thing that can kill this thing is the stone awl.

As long as Ke Lan can pierce the monster's vital point with a stone cone, Ke Lan can end this battle.

Before this, Ke Lan's first choice of attack targets were the joints that could restrict the opponent's movement, but now, he began to pay attention to those vital parts that could kill with a single blow.

Brain, spine, throat, lungs...and heart...

The humanoid monster was not in a hurry to launch an attack... As part of the rules, it also had physical limitations, not to mention that its body was now covered with wounds left by stone cones. It was panting heavily, dark and empty. His eyes were fixed on Ke Lan, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

It became smarter, and the battle became more and more difficult for Ke Lan. If he wanted to successfully damage it, he had to leave something behind... The price just now was two fingers, next time, Maybe it's a whole arm...

Ke Lan picked up the dagger on the ground, put it back into its sheath, then bit the stone awl with his teeth, pulled out the pistol again, and replaced it with a full magazine.

Some things cannot be imitated by imitation alone.

This is the difference between humans and monsters, between intelligent creatures and beasts.

Ke Lan suddenly laughed.

"The rules can restrict me, but they can also be used to my advantage." He thought silently in his mind. "The score for cheating will be counted as zero points, but that refers to the idiot who was discovered by the invigilator."

"And I've never been caught."

Ke Lan held the gun with one hand, raised his leg back, kicked the pistol's sleeve hard with the heel of his boot, and completed loading.

Then, Ke Lan started to accelerate and rushed towards the humanoid monster!

"No matter how perfect the rules are, there are bound to be loopholes."

At the moment when the two were about to collide, Ke Lan pulled the trigger and fired two consecutive shots. Two large-caliber projectiles broke the wrist of the monster's right hand - although the wrist recovered as before in the next second. But the opponent has missed the best opportunity to attack.

Ke Lan ran directly into the arms of the humanoid monster, slammed his head on its left shoulder, and stabbed the stone awl in his mouth into the monster's chest.

"Bang!"

Another shot hit the elbow joint of the monster's right hand, making it unable to turn the bone blade. At the same time, Ke Lan threw his head to one side, driving the stone awl to tear open the monster's chest and ribs. A huge hole!

A beating heart was exposed in front of Ke Lan.

The monster's broken elbow recovered, but it was too late. Ke Lan dropped the gun, took the stone awl with his hand, and stabbed it into the heart!
